167
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
168
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
169
 
170
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
171
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
172
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
173
      build errors.
174
 
175
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
176
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
177
 
178
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
179
      Shorthand for
180
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
181
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
182
 
183
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
184
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
185
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
186
      Examples: 
187
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
188
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
189
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
190
 
191
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
192
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
193
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
194
 
195
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
196
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
197
      build system.
198
 
199
Experimental:
200
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
201
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
202
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.
6177 dpurdie 203
      This will change 
6133 dpurdie 204
 
205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
206
Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
208
 
209
Minor changes:
210
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
211
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
212
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
213
 
214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
215
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
217
 
218
Minor changes:
219
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
220
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
221
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
222
 
223
    * Build Files
224
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
225
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
226
 
227
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
228
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
229
 
230
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
231
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
232
 
233
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
234
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
235
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
236
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
237
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
238
 
239
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
240
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
241
     different architectures.
242
 
243
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
244
     are directed to one or more machines.
245
 
246
     Intended uses:
247
        Windows: Creating installers. 
248
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
249
 
250
       All: Specialized packaging.
251
 
252
    * Makefiles
253
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
254
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
255
      Eg:
256
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
257
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
258
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
259
      It could also have been written as:
260
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
261
      but NOT as:
262
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
263
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
264
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
265
 
266
    * Utility: sandbox
267
      Subcommand info 
268
        - Added option to test fingerprints
269
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

274
 
275
Minor changes:
276
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
277
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
278
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
279
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
280
 
281
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
282
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
283
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
284
 
285
    * GenerateFiles directive
286
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
287
 
288
    * Utility: sandbox
289
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
290
 
291
      Sped up the location of build files. The results are cached and 
292
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
293
 
294
Internal changes:
295
    * Centralizing build platform information.

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
307
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
308
 
309
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
310
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
311
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
312
      machine may build the toolset.
313
 
314
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
315
      platform.
316
 
317

      Removed processing of CVS change log and associated command line options
333
      It is not used.
334
 
335
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
336
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
337
 
338
    * Utility: escrow
339
      Added -skim option
340
 
341
    * Utility: sandbox
342
      Many improvements:
343
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
344
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
345
 
346
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
347
 
348
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
349
        if an error is detected.
350
 
351
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
352
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
353
 
354
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
355
        skipped during the build.
356
 
357
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

362
 
363
Minor changes:
364

365
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
366
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
367
 
368
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
369
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

    * EnvVars
1275
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1276
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1277
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1278
 
1279
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1280
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1281
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1282
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1283
 
1284
    * Jats caching
1285
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1286
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

Minor changes:
1311
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1312
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1313
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1314
 
1315
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1316
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1317
 
1318
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1319
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
1320
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
1321
 
1322
    * Jats Internal: Database access

      Previously, projects based on the same solution/project file would
1454
      only build the last project due to a name clash

Minor changes:
1610
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1611
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1612
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1613
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1614
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1615
 
1616
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1617
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1628
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1629
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1630
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
1631
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
1632
      Report filter elements that are not used.
1633
 
1634
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1635
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
1636
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1644
Major changes:
1645
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1646
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1647
      intended to build deployed software.
1648
 
1649
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1650
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1651
 
1652
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1653
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1654
 
1655
Minor changes:
1656
    * Jats wrapper script
1657
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1658
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1659
      Subversion instance of the command.
1660
 
1661
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1662
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1663
 
1664
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1665

1669
      file under windows.
1670
 
1671
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
1672
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
1673
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
1674
 
1675
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
1676
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
1677
 
1678
    * GCC Toolchain
1679
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

1695
Major changes:
1696
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
1697
      Support for Intellect PAX.
1698
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
1699
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
1700
 
1701
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
1702
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

1712
Minor changes:
1713
    * Utility: jats sandbox
1714
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
1715
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
1716
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
1717
      line.
1718
 
1719
    * Jats Configuration
1720
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
1721
 
1722
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
1723
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
1724
      and Linux.
1725
 
1726
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
1727
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
1735
    * Jats Core
1736
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
1737
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
1738
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
1739
 
1740
    * Utility: svnsave_build
1741
      Used only by the build daemons.
1742
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
1743
 
1744
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1745
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports

1751
Major changes:
1752
 
1753
Minor changes:
1754
    * svnrelease utility
1755
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
1756
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
1757
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
1758
 
1759
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
1760
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
1761
      the named tag.
1762
 
1763
    * svnrelease utility
1764
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
1765
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
1779
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
1780

1782
    * ALL Toolsets
1783
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
1784
 
1785
    * Utility vcsdiff
1786
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
1787

1788
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
1808
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
1809
      we have build support for this target.
1810
 
1811
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
1812
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
1813
 
1814
Internal:
1815
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
1816
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

1831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1832
Major changes:
1833
 
1834
Minor changes:
1835
    * Makefile generation
1836
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
1837
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
1838
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
1839
      of warnings.
1840
 
1841
    * Makefile Generation
1842
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
1843
 
1844

2429 dpurdie 1850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1851
Major changes:
1852
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
1853
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
1854
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
1855
      these operations with a dedicated program.
1856
 
1857
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
1858
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
1859
      windows path scheme.
1860
 
1861
Minor changes:
1862
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
1863
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
1864
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
1865
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
1866
 
1867
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
1868
        jats make clobber
1869
      This operates as before.
1870
 
1871
    * Utility: escrow
1872
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
1873
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
1874
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
1875
 
1876
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
1877
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
1878
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
1879
 
1880
    * Utility: svn : url
1881
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
1882
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
1883
 
1884
    * Utility: svn : import
1885
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
1886
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
1887
 
1888
    * Subversion Support
1889
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
1890
      showing the user what to do.
1891
 
1892
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
1893
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
1894
      repositories.

1899
 
1900
Minor changes:
1901
    * Jats build
1902
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
1903
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
1904
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
1905
 
1906
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 1907
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 1908

    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
1930
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
1931
      Modified two options:
1932
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
1933
                        The named branch must not exist
1934
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
1935
                        The named branch must exist
1936
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2026
    * Utility: svnrelease
2027
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2028
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2029
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2030
 
2031
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2032
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2033
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.

2045
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2046
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2047
      sandbox.
2048
 
2049
    * Subversion Support

    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2141
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2142
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited

      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2208
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2209
 
377 dpurdie 2210
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2211
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2212
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2213
 
2214
    * jats svnlabel
2215
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2216
 
2217
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2218
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2219
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2220
 
2221
    * Built Daemon support
2222
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2223
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2228
Major changes:
2229
    * GCC Toolset
2230
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2231
      New methodology is:
2232
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2233
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2234
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2235
        as the main binary.
2236
 
2237
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2238
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2239
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2240
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2241
      both worlds.
2242
 
2243
Minor changes:
2244
    * HTML Documentation
2245

2285
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2286
 
2287
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2288
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2289
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2290
      a vob.

2369
 
2370
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2371

2372
 
2373
Minor changes:
2374
    * HTML Help
2375
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2376
 
2377
    * jats build -noforce
2378
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2379
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2380
      be forced.
2381
 
2382
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2383
 
2384
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2385
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2386
 
2387
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2388
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2389
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2390
 
2391
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2392
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2393
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2394
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2395
 
2396
    * Utility: svnrelease
2397
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2398
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2399
 
2400
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2401
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2402
 
2403
    * Utility: svn
2404
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2405
      installed and can be used.
2406
 
2407
    * Toolset: CSharp
2408
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2409
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2410
      character.
2411
 
2412
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2413
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2414
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2415
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2416
      masking an error.
2417
 
2418
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2419
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2420
      enhancement.

2422
    * Toolset: dafbr
2423
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
2424

2426
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
2427
        - Return correct path to package
2428
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
2429
 
2430
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2431
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2432
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
2433
 
2434
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2435
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2436
      packages.
2437
 
2438
    * make command: show
2439
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2440
      'jats make show' command.
2441
 
2442
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2443
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2444
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
2445
 
2446
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
2447
      executed on Unix machines.

2484
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
2485
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
2486
 
2487
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
2488
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
2489
      developers.

      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
2651
 
2652
    * Jats MakeProject directive
2653
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
2654
      of the project builds to be specified.
2655
 
2656
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
2657
      to build a package.
2658

2664
    * GenerateFiles directive
2665
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
2666
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
2667
 
2668
    * BuildPlatform
2669
      New option: --NoToolSet
2670
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2671
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2672
 
2673
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
2674
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
2675
      need toolset specific information.
2676
 
2677
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
2678
 
2679
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

2684
      processing into jats.pl
2685
 
2686
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
2687
      a ClearCase site.

2790
      resulting in multiple builds.
2791
 
2792
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
2793
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
2794
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.

2797
 
2798
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
2799
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
2800

2807
Minor changes:
2808
    * Jats label command
2809
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
2810
      Not recommended for general use.
2811
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
2812
      directories within the current view.
2813
 
2814
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
2815
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
2816
      elsewhere.
2817
 
2818
    * Jats save_build
2819
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
2820
      the determination of a branch.
2821
 
2822
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
2823
      up labeling by the build daemons.
2824
 
2825
    * Jats build
2826
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
2827
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
2828
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
2829
 
2830
    * Borland6 toolset
2831
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
2832
      to match the documented install location of:
2833
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
2834
 
2835
    * Jats build
2836
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
2837
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
2838
      This is a very quick operation.
2839
 
2840
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
2841
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
2842
 
2843
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
2844
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
2845
      files are only recreated if need be.
2846
 
2847
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
2848
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
2849
      make the package.
2850
 
2851
    * Jats sandbox
2852
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
2853
 
2854
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
2855
      be a complete build of all component packages.
2856
 
2857
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
2858
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
2859
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
2860
      is performed.
2861
 
2862
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
2900
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
2901
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
2902
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
2903
 
2904
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
2905
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
2906
 
2907
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
2908
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
2909
      platform builds.
2910
 
2911
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
2912
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
2913
      directory tree.
2914
 
2915

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2929
Major changes:
2930
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
2931
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
2932
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
2933
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
2934
 
2935
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
2936
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
2937
 
2938
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
2939
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
2940
 
2941
      Examples:
2942
            jats upddep -show
2943
            jats upddep -show=vtk
2944
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
2945
 
2946
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
2947
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
2948
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
2949
 
2950
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
2951
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
2952
 
2953
Minor changes:
2954
 
2955
Internal changes:

2961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2962
Major changes:
2963
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
2964
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
2965
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
2966
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
2967
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
2968
      stream.
2969
 
2970
      Example:
2971
 
2972
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
2973
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
2974
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
2975
                     );
2976
Minor changes:
2977
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
2978
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
2979
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
2980
      directive.
2981
 
2982
    * GCC Toolkit
2983
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
2984
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
2985
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
2986
      the point of termination.
2987
 
2988
    * Jats save_build utility
2989
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
2990
      under windows.
2991
 
2992
    * Jats sandbox
2993
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
2994
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
2995
      in different sandboxes.
2996
 
2997
    * Jats release
2998
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

3002
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3003
Major changes:
3004
 
3005
Minor changes:
3006
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3007
      Added -locatedir=name
3008
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3009
      directory.
3010
 
3011
    * jats label utility
3012
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3013
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3014
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3015
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3016
 
3017
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3018

Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 3021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3022
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3023
 
3024
Minor changes:
3025
    * WinCe Toolsets
3026
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3027
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3028
        noExceptions            - Disable
3029
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3030
      Example:
3031
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3032
 
3033
    * Solaris targets
3034
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3035
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3036
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3037
      machine type.
3038
 
3039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3040
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3042
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3043
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3044
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3045
      project files.
3046
 
3047
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3048
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3049
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3050
 
3051
Minor changes:
3052
    * Added more internal documentation
3053
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3054
 
3055
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3056
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3057
 
3058
    * Jats save_build utility
3059
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3060
      under windows.
3061
 
3062
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3063
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3064
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3065
      libraries.
3066
 
3067
    * Solaris builds
3068
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3069
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3070
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3071
      of the build failure.
3072
 
3073
 
3074
Internal changes:
3075
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3076
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3077
 
3078
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3079
      PkgArchive topics.

3083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3084
Major changes:
3085
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3086
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3087
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3088
      existing 32-bit builds.
3089
 
3090
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3091
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3092
 
3093
Minor changes:
3094
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3095
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3096
 
3097
    * Package searching
3098
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3099
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3100
 
3101
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3102
 
3103
    * jats help
3104
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3105
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3106
 
3107
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3108
      with one of:
3109
        jats -h
3110
        jats help jats
3111
 
3112
Internal:
3113
    * cmdfile utility
3114
      Added macros:
3115
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3116
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3117
 
3118
      Corrected
3119
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3120
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3121
 
3122
      Extended
3123
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3124
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3125
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3126
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Major changes:
3132
 
3133
Minor changes:
3134
 
3135
Internal changes
3136
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3137
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3138
      Useful side effects include:
3139
 
3140
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3141
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3142
 
3143
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3144
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3145
 
3146
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3147
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3148
        BuildPkgArchive
3149
 
313 dpurdie 3150
    * Perl Modules
3151
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3152
      release. This will:
3153
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3154
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3155
          reported by ERG.
3156
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3161
Major changes:
3162
 
3163
Minor changes:
3164
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3165
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3166
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3167
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3168
 
3169
    * Jats label utility
3170
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3171
 
3172
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3173
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3174
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3175
 
3176
    * Jats core
3177
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3178
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3179
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3187
    * CSHARP toolset
3188
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3189
      This is now fixed.
3190
 
309 dpurdie 3191
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3192
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3193
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3194
 
3195
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3196
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3197

3203
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3204
    * Generating makefiles
3205
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3206
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3207
      an error.
3208
 
3209
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3210
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3211
 
3212
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3213
      Highly specialized directive.

3219
Major changes:
3220
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3221
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3222
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3223
 
3224
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3225
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3226
 
3227
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3228
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3229
      Support includes
3230
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3231
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3232
 
3233
Minor changes:
3234
    * Build file processing
3235
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3236
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3237
 
3238
    * MOS builds
3239
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3240
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3241
 
3242
    * MOS builds
3243
      New 'known' product: PICP
3244
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3245
 
3246
    * GenerateFiles directive
3247
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3248
        under windows.
3249
 
3250
        .
3251
 
3252
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3253
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3254
 
3255
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3256
      to the output stream.
3257
 
3258
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3259
 
3260
    * Windows Shell
3261
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3262
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3263
 
3264
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3265
 
3266
    * H8S toolset
3267
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3268
 
3269
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3270
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3271
 
3272
Internal changes
3273
    * WinCe builds
3274
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3275
      content of the file.
3276
 
3277
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3278
 
3279
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3280
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3292
Major changes:
3293
 
3294
Minor changes:
3295
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3296
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3297
      Changes are transparent to users.
3298
 
3299
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3300
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3301
      this occurs.
3302
 
3303
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3304
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3305
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3306
      automated build framework.
3307
 
3308
    * jats sandbox command
3309
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3310
      'create' command.
3311
 
3312
    * jats command aliases. Added
3313
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3314
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3319
Major changes:
3320
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3321
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3322
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3323
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3324
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3325
      will work as expected
3326
 
3327
Minor changes:
3328
    * VS2008 Toolset
3329
      Picking up incorrect config details
3330
      May result in a warning message.
3331
 
3332
    * gen_cots utility
3333
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3334
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3335
 
3336
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3337
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
3384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3385
Major changes:
3386
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3387
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3388
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3389
 
3390
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3391
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3392
 
3393
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3394
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3395
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3396
           names cannot be changed.
3397
 
3398
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3399
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3400
 
3401
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3402
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3403
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3404
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3405
 
3406
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3407
      file.
3408
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3409
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3410
      MyPackage.dpk.
3411
 
3412
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3413
      file.
3414
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3415
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3416
      MyDll.dpr.
3417
 
3418
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3419
      file.
3420
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3421
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3422
      MyProg.dpr.
3423
 
3424
Minor changes:
3425
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3426
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3427
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3428
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3429
 
3430
    * BuildVersion directive
3431
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3432
      in a Delphi Unit.
3433
 
3434
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3435
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3436
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3437
      'know' the location of the files.
3438
 
3439
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3440
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3441
 
3442
Internal Changes:
3443
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3444
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3445
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3446
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3447
 
3448
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3449
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3450
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
3451

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
3454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3455
Major changes:
3456
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3457
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3458
      information for purely C++ builds.
3459
 
289 dpurdie 3460
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3461
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3462
 
289 dpurdie 3463
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3464
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3465
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3466
 
3467
Minor changes:
3468
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
3469
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
3470
 
3471
    * updatenodespec utility
3472
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3473
      Manager database.

3496
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
3497
 
3498
Minor changes:
3499
    * MergeLibrary directive
3500
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
3501
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
3502
 
3503

3509
Minor changes:
3510
    * New command: jats make show
3511
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3512
      used in the build.
3513
 
3514
    * Escrow command
3515
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3516
 
3517
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3518
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3519
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3520
 
3521
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3522
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
3523
 
3524

277 dpurdie 3526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3527
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3528
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3529
 
279 dpurdie 3530
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3531
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3532
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3533
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3534
 
3535
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3536
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3537
 
3538
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3539
 
3540
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3541
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3542
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3543
 
3544
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3545
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3546
        processed.
3547
 
3548
      Removed the '-delete' option
3549
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3550
 
277 dpurdie 3551
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3552
    * Sandbox command
3553
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3554
 
3555
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3556
      target from consideration in the build set.
3557
 
3558
    * MCR Toolset
3559
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3560
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3561
 
3562
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3563
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3564
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3565
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3566
 
3567
    * Jats run_test command
3568
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3569
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3570
 
3571
    * descpkg file
3572
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3573
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3574
 
3575
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3576
     Now contains build trace information
3577
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3578
 
3579
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3580
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3581
     it contains 'jar' files.
3582
 
3583
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3584
 
3585
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3586
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3587
 
3588
   * BuildVersion directive
3589
     Form:
3590
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3591
     now works as expected.
3592
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3593
 
3594
Internal Changes:
3595
 
3596
    * Error reporting mechanism
3597
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3598
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3599
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3610
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
3611
    then starts.
3612
 
3613
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3614
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3615
 
3616
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3617
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3618
    non-platform option.
3619
 
279 dpurdie 3620
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    * Jats Utility: dstatus
3634
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
3635
 
3636
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
3637
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
3638
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
3639
 
3640
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
3641
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
3642
 
3643
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
3644
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
3645
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform

3647
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
3648
 
3649
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
3650
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
3651
      to the invoked application.
3652
 
3653
Internal Changes:
3654
    * JatsCopy Package

3782
        define_source_file              (Default)
3783
 
3784
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
3785
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
3786
 
3787
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
3788
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
3789
      compatibility.
3790
 
3791

3795
            --InstallProg=list
3796
 
3797
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
3798
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
3799
      GenerateCab.
3800
 
3801
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

            --Product=name
3812
 
3813
Internal Changes:
3814
    * These utility 'gen_winrc' now uses module used by the BuildVersion
3815
      directive to created the resource file.
3816
 
3817
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in
3818
      a standalone manner by gen_winrc.pl.

3953
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
3954
      Previously was being done at two places
3955
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
3956
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
3957
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
3958
 
3959
    * JATS make: Command line
3960
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
3961

3970
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
3971
        + Consistent use of option parsing

4033
 
4034
      New platforms:
4035
        CSHARP2005
4036
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4037
         Support extends to allow:
4038
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4039
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4040
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4041
 
4042
        VS2005
4043
         Support extends to allow:
4044
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4045
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4046
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4047
 
4048
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4049
      through a version selector:
4050
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4051
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4052
 
4053
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4054
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4055
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4056
 
4057
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4058
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4059
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4060
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4061
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4062
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4063
          under VS2005.
4064
 
4065
Minor changes:
4066
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4070
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4071
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4072
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4073
 
4074
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4075
 
4076
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4077
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4078
 
4079
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4080
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4081
      a minimal value of perl.
4082
 
4083
      Removed excessive require statements.
4084
 
4085
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4086
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4087
      Include JATS specific files for
4088
        1) Windows
4089
        2) Linux
4090
 
4091
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4092
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4093
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4094
      machines.
4095
 
4096
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4097
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4098
 
4099

4100
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4101
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4102
 
4103
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4104
      wrapper scripts.
4105
 
4106
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4107
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4108
      Spell check help and code.

4156
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name
4157
 
4158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4159
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4160
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4161
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4162
  * New toolset and platform
4163
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4164
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4165
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4166
    this platform.
4167
 
4168
Minor changes:
4169
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4170
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4171
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4172
    work.
4173
 
4174
  * Jats utility: release
4175
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4176
    published to dpkg_archive.
4177
 
249 dpurdie 4178
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4179
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4180
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4181
    supported for ANT builds.
4182
 
4183
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4184
        releasemanager.releasename
4185
        releasemanager.projectname
4186
 
4187
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4188
    tagged data item of the form
4189
 
4190
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4191
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4192
 
4193
  * Mug File Generation
4194
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4195
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4196
 
4197
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4198
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4199
    required.
4200
 
4201
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4202
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4203
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4204
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4205
    the files in order to use them.
4206
 
4207
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4208
    locate the file.
4209
 
4210
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4211
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4212
 
4213
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4214
        * CSharp
4215
        * Properties
4216
        * WinRC
4217
 
4218
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4219
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4220
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4221
    Value is correctly assigned.
4222
 
4223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4224
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4226
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4227
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4228
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4229
 
4230
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4231
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4232
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4233
 
4234
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4235
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4236
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4237
 
4238
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4239
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4240
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4241
 
4242
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4243
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4244
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4245
    correct.
4246
 
4247
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4248
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4249
 
4250
Minor changes:
4251
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4252
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4253
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4254
 
4255
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4256
    This will simplify new user setup.
4257
 
4258
  * All Unix Toolsets
4259
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4260
    on unix systems
4261
 
4262
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4263
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4264
    on some Solaris Machines.
4265
 
4266
  * JATS -version=<version>
4267
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4268
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4269
 
4270

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4273
Major changes:
243 dpurdie 4274
    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 4275
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 4276
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4277
 
4278
Minor changes:
4279
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4280

4286
      Does not work with LMOS
4287
 
4288
    * Readme.txt file
4289
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4290
 
4291
    * Misc Cleanup
4292
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
4293
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
4300
    Force compiler option -nOj
4301
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
4302
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

4312
 
4313
  * JATS builds
4314
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4316
    mode.
4317
 
4318
  * JATS makefiles
4319
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4320
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4321
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4322
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4323
                            SetList directive.
4324
 
4325

4333
 
4334
  * JATS buildfile processing
4335
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
4336
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
4337
    of JATS.
4338
 
4339
  * JATS save_build utility

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
4369
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
4370
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4371
 
4372
    * MOS Toolset
4373
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
4374
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
4375
 
4376
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

    * Extract/Release utility.
4423
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
4424
      that can handle spaces
4425
 
4426
    * MOS Compiler
4427
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4428
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4429
 
4430
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4431
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4432

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 4450
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
4451
 
4452
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
4453
      <project> field.
4454
 
4455
    * CCdiff utility
4456
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
4457
 
4458
    * Escrow utility
4459

Major changes:
4468
 
4469
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4470
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4471
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4472
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4473
 
4474
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4475
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4476
 
4477
    * Jats wrapper
4478
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4479
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
4480
 
4481

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4484
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4485
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4486
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4487
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4488
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4489
 
4490
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4491
 
4492
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4493
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4494
 
4495
    * Running Jats
4496
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4497
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4498
      This may affect some windows developers.
4499
 
4500
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4501
      Future versions will generate an error.
4502
 
4503
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4504
 
4505
Minor changes:
4506
    * Perl Version Check
4507
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4508
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4509
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4510
 
4511
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4512
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4513
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4514
      build.
4515
 
4516
    * Jats Internals
4517
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4518
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4519
 
4520
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4521
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4522
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4523
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4524
      process.
4525
 
4526
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4527
      Only works under Windows.
4528
 
4529
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4530
 
4531
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4532
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4533
 
4534
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4535
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4536
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4537
 
4538
    * Jats eprog
4539
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4540
      directory.
4541
 
4542
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4543
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4544
      build metrics.
4545
 
4546

Major changes:
4550
 
4551
Minor changes:
4552
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4553
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4554
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4555
      automated build system. New options are:
4556
        -pname=Package_Name
4557
        -pversion=Package_Version
4558
 
4559
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4560
      transferring the package. New options are:
4561
        -test
4562
 
4563
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4564
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4565
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4566
 
4567
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4568
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4569
 
4570
    * Solaris Toolset
4571
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4572
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4573
      programs are still supported.

4578
Major changes:
4579
 
4580
Minor changes:
4581
    * WINCE toolsets
4582
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4583
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4584
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4585
      when header files cannot be found.
4586
 
4587
    * GenerateFiles directive
4588
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4589
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4590
      that are difficult to solve.
4591
 
4592
    * MakePerlModule directive
4593
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4594
      to the the module builder.
4595
 
4596
    * Jats Tool: label
4597
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4598
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4599
      -dirs=xxx options.
4600
 
4601
    * Jats Tool: release
4602
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4603
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4604
 
4605
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4606
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4607
 
4608
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4609
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4610
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4611
 
4612
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
4619
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
4620
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
4621
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
4622
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
4623
 
4624
Minor changes:
4625
    * label utility
4626
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
4627
 
4628
    * make package and install operations
4629
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
4630

4631
 
4632
    * make clean up
4633
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
4634
 
4635
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
4636
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
4637
      minor file transformations such as:
4638
        Copy, with optional rename
4639
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
4640
        Perform simple TAG replacement
4641
 
4642
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
4643
 
4644
    * jats release utility
4645
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
4646
      in place.
4647
 
4648
    * escrow utility
4649
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
4650
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

    * Makefile generation
4659
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
4660
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
4661
      generate phase early.

Major changes:
4667
 
4668
Minor changes:
4669
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
4670
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
4671
 
4672
    * Makefile generation
4673
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
4674
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
4675
 
4676
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
4677
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
4678
 
4679
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
4680
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
4681
      branch. The locks will be removed.
4682
 
4683
    * jats_rewrite utility
4684
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
4685
 
4686
    * jats escrow utility
4687
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
4688
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
4689
 
4690
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
4691
      inconsistent packages.
4692
 
4693
    * jats make help
4694
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
4695
      available within the current build.
4696
 
4697
    * jats makefiles
4698
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
4699
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
4700
 
4701
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
4702
      pl, then it will be ignored.
4703
 
4704
    * gcc toolset
4705
      SharedLibries.
4706
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
4707
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
4708
 
4709
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
4710
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
4711
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
4712
 
4713
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
4714
        New options:
4715
            --MultiScan
4716
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
4717
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
4718
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

4724
Major changes:
4725
 
4726
Minor changes:
4727
    PackageLib directive
4728
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
4729
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
4730
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
4731
 
4732
    MakefileGenerate directive
4733
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
4734
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
4735
 
4736
    Multiple Parent detection
4737
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
4738
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
4739
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
4740
    condition will be treated as a warning.
4741
 
4742
    Solaris Toolset
4743
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
4744
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
4745
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
4746
    link.
4747
 
4748
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
4749
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
4750
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
4751
 
4752
    Make and generation of subdirectories
4753
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
4754
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
4755
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4760
Major changes:
4761
    Makefile generation and make recursion
4762
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
4763
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
4764
 
4765
    Summary of changes:
4766
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
4767
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
4768
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
4769
          flexibility.
4770
 
4771
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
4772
 
4773
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
4774
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
4775
          interface directory and associated build information.
4776
 
4777
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
4778
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
4779
          than one second.
4780
 
4781
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
4782
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
4783
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
4784
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
4785
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
4786
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
4787
 
4788
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
4789
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
4790
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
4791
 
4792
        - Better makefile rebuilding
4793
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
4794
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
4795
          building them.
4796
 
4797
        - Detection of build file changes
4798
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
4799
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
4800
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
4801
 
4802
        - Quieter make output
4803
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
4804
 
4805
 
4806
Minor changes:
4807
    MakeAnt Directive
4808
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
4809
 
4810
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
4811
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
4812
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
4813
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
4814
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
4815
 
4816
    CSHARP toolset
4817
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
4818

Minor changes:
4825
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
4826
    are generated.
4827
 
4828
    MakeAnt
4829
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
4830
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
4831
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
4832
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
4833
 
4834
    MCR platform
4835
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

Minor changes:
4844
    MakeAnt directive extended
4845
    New option: --PackageBase
4846
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
4847
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
4848
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
4849
 
4850
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
4851
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
4852
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
4853
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
4873
 
4874
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
4875
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
4876
 
4877
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
4878
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
4879
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
4880
 
4881
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
4882
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
4883
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
4884
    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
4913
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
4914
 
4915
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
4916
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
4917
      last.
4918
 
4919
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
4920
 
4921
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
4922
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
4923
 
4924
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
4925
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
4926
 
4927
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
4928
 
4929
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
4930
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
4931
 
4932
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
4933
 
4934
 
4935
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
4936

    * Solaris Toolset
4948
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
4949
      dependent packages.
4950
 
4951
    * RunTest operation
4952
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
4953
 
4954
    * Csharp toolkit
4955
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
4956

4958
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
4959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4960
Major changes:
4961
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
4962
 
4963
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
4964
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
4965
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
4966
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
4967
      path.
4968
 
4969
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
4970
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
4971
      reproducible.
4972
 
4973
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
4974
      This is better than building incorrectly.
4975
 
4976
      There are several aspects to the change
4977
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
4978
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
4979
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
4980
 
4981
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
4982
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
4983
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
4984
          controlled separately.
4985
 
4986
Minor changes:
4987
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
4988
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
4989
        Remove duplicates
4990
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
4991

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
4994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4995
Major changes:
4996
 
4997
Minor changes:
4998
    * Makefile sanity test
4999
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5000
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5001
 
5002
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5003
      x86 machine.
5004
 
5005
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5006
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5007
 
5008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5009
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5011
Major changes:
5012
    * RunTest directive
5013
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5014
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5015
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5016
 
5017
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5018
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5019
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5020
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5021
 
5022
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5023
        builder within the current toolset.
5024
 
5025
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5026
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5027
 
5028
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5029
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5030
      containing the RunTest directive.
5031
 
5032
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5033
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5034
 
5035
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5036
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5037
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5038
 
5039
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5040
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5041
                            P or D suffix.
5042
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5043
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5044
 
5045
Minor changes:
5046
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5047
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5048
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5049
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5050
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5051
 
5052
    * Save Build Utility
5053
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5054
      used in a ripple build.
5055
 
5056
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5057
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5058
 
5059
    * Release Utility
5060
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5061
      when an error is encountered.
5062
 
5063
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5064
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5065
 
5066
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5067
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5068
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5069
 
5070
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5071
      before the makefiles are created.
5072
 
5073
    * TestProg directive
5074
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5075
 
5076
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5077
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5078

5081
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5082
Major changes:
5083
    * New build target
5084
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5085
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5086
 
5087
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5088
            DEVLINUX
5089
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5090
 
5091
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5092
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5093
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5094
 
5095
Minor changes:
5096
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5097
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5098
 
5099
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5100
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5101
 
5102
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5103
      and .cs files.
5104
 
5105
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5106
      thing.
5107
 
5108
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5109
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5110
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5111
      were it places temp files.
5112
 
5113
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5114
      interaction with other builds.
5115
 
5116
    * Release utility command
5117
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5118
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5119
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
5127
 
5128
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5129
 
5130
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5131
    libraries
5132
 
5133
Minor changes:
5134
  * Unit Tests
5135
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5136
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5137
 
5138
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5139
    as a Script.

  * WINCE Support
5171
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5172
 
5173
  * Removed the following targets
5174
        TP5600
5175
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5176
        TP5600_EMU
5177
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5178
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5179
 
5180
  * Deployment
5181
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5182
 
5183
  * build.pl
5184
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5185
 
5186
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5187
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5188
 
5189
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5190
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5191
    build.
5192
 
5193
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5194
 
5195
  * Tool: escrow
5196
     New features
5197
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5198
     are not in the SBOM.
5199
 
5200
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5201
 
5202
     Specify packages to be ignored.

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5208
Major changes:
5209
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5210
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5211
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5212
 
5213
  * GenerateFiles
5214
    Added the options:
5215
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5216
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5217
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5218
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5219
 
5220
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5221
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5222
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5223
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5224
                                  required.
5225
 
5226
 
5227
Minor changes:
5228
  * GenerateFile directive
5229
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5230
 
5231
  * GCC Toolset
5232
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5233
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5234
    be rebuilt.
5235
 
5236
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5237
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5238
 
5239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5240
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5242
Major changes:
5243
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5244
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5245
    environment variables.
5246
 
5247
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5248
            moved.
5249
 
5250
    This will affect users that:
5251
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5252
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5253
 
5254
        2) Use the ABT system
5255
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5256
           the required configuration
5257
 
5258
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5259
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5260
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5261
    Windows
5262
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5263
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5264
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5265
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5266
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5267
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5268
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5269
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5270
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5271
 
5272
 
5273
  * New build platforms
5274
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5275
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5276
 
5277
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5278
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5279
 
5280
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5281
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5282
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5283
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5284
 
5285
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5286
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5287
    release.
5288
 
5289
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5290
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5291
 
5292
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5293
    need to be converted.
5294
 
5295
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5296
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5297
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5298
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5299
    used for different targets platforms.
5300
 
5301
  * Sandbox support
5302
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5303
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5304
 
5305
    New command: jats sandbox ...

5312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5313
Major changes:
5314
  * MakeAnt directive
5315
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5316
 
5317
    New options
5318
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5319
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5320
 
5321
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5322
    run_unit_tests phase.
5323
 
5324
  * Sandbox support
5325
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5326
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5327
 
5328
Minor changes:
5329
  * jats build
5330
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5331
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5332
 
5333
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5334
 
5335
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5336
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5337
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5338
 
5339
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5340
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5341
 
5342
  * JATS.BAT
5343
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5344
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5345
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5346
 
5347
  * jats label
5348
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5349
 
5350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5351
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5353
Major changes:
5354
  * New build platform:
5355
        LMOS_TP5600
5356
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5357
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5358
 
5359
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5360
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5361
    describe the group of platforms.
5362
 
5363
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5364
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5365
    build these targets.
5366
 
5367
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5368
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5369
 
5370
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5371
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5372
 
5373
  * New build platform: WINCE
5374
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5375
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5376
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5377
 
5378
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5379
            WCEIT3000
5380
            WCEPA961
5381
            WCEPA962
5382
            WCEPCM7220
5383
            WCEPSION_420
5384
            WCEPSPC_arm
5385
            WCEPSPC_emu
5386
            WCEX86A420
5387
            WCEX86A500
5388
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5389
 
5390
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5391
 
5392
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5393
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5394
    that contain packaging directives.
5395
 
5396
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5397
    very unusual configurations.
5398
 
5399
Minor changes:
5400
  * Directive: PackageFile
5401
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5402
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5403
    an '='.
5404
 
5405
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5406
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5407
 
5408
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5409
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5410
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5411
 
5412
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5413
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5414
 
5415
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5416
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5418
Major changes:
5419
 
5420
  * JATS release command
5421
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5422
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5423
 
5424
    Rules are:
5425
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5426
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5427
                            File will be placed on a branch
5428
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5429
                            New directory will branch
5430
 
5431
Minor changes:
5432
  * JATS release command
5433
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5434
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5435
 
5436
  * JATS label command
5437
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5438
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5439
 
5440
  * JATS make
5441
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5442
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5443
    was re-packaged.
5444
 
5445
  * JATS escrow
5446
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5447
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5448
 
5449
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5450
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5451
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5452
 
5453
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5454
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5455
    interface directory.
5456
 
5457
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5458
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5459
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5460
    directory as seen by the package.
5461
 
5462
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5463
 
5464
  * JAVA 6
5465
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5466
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5467
 
5468
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5469
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5470
 
5471
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5472
 
5473
  * Jats command: vars
5474
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5475
    These indicate potential problems.
5476
 
5477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5478
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5480
Major changes:
5481
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5482
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5483
    libarry is also created.
5484
 
5485
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5486
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5487
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5488
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5489
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5490
    information contained within the file.
5491
 
5492
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5493
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5494
 
5495
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5496
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5497
 
5498
  * Building Perl Modules
5499
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5500
    documentation on the build machine.
5501
 
5502
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5503
 
5504
Minor changes:
5505
  * jats create_dpkg
5506
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5507
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5508
 
5509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5510
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5512
Major changes:
5513
  * JATS JAVA build target
5514
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5515
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5516
 
5517
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5518
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5519
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5520
    is then picked up as the default version.
5521
 
5522
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5523
    build.pl file.
5524
 
5525
Minor changes:
5526
  * jats release
5527
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5528
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5529
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5530
 
5531
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5532
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5533
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5534
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5535
    the name of the view.
5536
 
5537
  * GenerateFiles directive
5538
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5539
 
5540
  * MOS Toolset
5541
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5542
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5543
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5544
 
5545
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5546
 
5547
 
5548
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5549
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5551
Major changes:
5552
 
5553
Minor changes:
5554
  * JATS environment
5555
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5556
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5557
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5558
 
5559
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5560
 
5561
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5562
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5563
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5564
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5565
    to be packaged.
5566
 
5567
  * Generated makefiles
5568
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5569
 
5570
  * Generating MOS THX files
5571
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5572
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5573
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5574
 
5575
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5576
 
5577
  * JATS release
5578
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5579
 
5580
  * JATS extract
5581
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5582
 
5583
  * JATS Toolset
5584
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5585
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5586
 
5587
 
5588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5589
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5591
Major changes:
5592
 
5593
Minor changes:
5594
  * jats label
5595
    Added a -vob=name option
5596
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5597
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5598
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5599
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5600
 
5601
    Added a -user=name option
5602
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5603
    label to the named user.
5604
 
5605
  * jats release
5606
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5607
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5608
 
5609
  * JATS build.pl
5610
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5611
    ie:
5612
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5613
 
5614
 
5615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5616
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5618
Major changes:
5619
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5620
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5621
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5622
    the makefile internals. ie:
5623
        --Var(BuildName)
5624
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5625
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5626
 
5627
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5628
 
5629
  * GenerateFiles
5630
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5631
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5632
 
5633
  * BuildPlatforms
5634
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5635
 
5636
Minor changes:
5637
  * GCC Toolset
5638
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5639
 
5640
Internal changes:
5641
  * GenerateFiles
5642
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5643
 
5644
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5645
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5646
 
5647
 
5648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5649
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5651
Major changes:
5652
  * Caching JATS
5653
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5654
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5655
 
5656
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5657
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5658
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5659
 
5660
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5661
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5662
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5663
 
5664
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5665
 
5666
Minor changes:
5667
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5668
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5669
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5670
 
5671
  * jats build
5672
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
5673
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
5674
    processed by the build.
5675
 
5676
  * jats build
5677
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
5678
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
5679
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
5680
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
5681
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
5682
 
5683
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
5684
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
5685
    Path is not specified.
5686
 
5687
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
5688
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
5689
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
5690
        --Dir=$Pinc
5691
    but $Pinc is not defined.
5692
 
5693
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
5694
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
5695
    Windows platform.
5696
 
5697
        - OPTIONS=purecov
5698
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
5699
            by 'purecov.
5700
 
5701
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5702
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
5703
 
5704
        - OPTIONS=purify
5705
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
5706
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
5707
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
5708

5711
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
5712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5713
Major changes:
5714
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
5715
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
5716
    Example:
5717
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
5718
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
5719
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
5720
 
5721
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
5722
    been determined.
5723
 
5724
Minor changes:
5725
  * Added the ScanList directive.
5726
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
5727
    located at build-time.

5729
  * Unix based systems

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
5832
 
5833
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
5834
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
5835
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
5836
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
5837
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
5838
 
5839
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
5840
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
5841
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
5842
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
5843
 
5844
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
5845
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
5860
  * JATS wrapper script
5861
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
5862
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
5863
    to setup links to system programs.
5864

5886
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
5887
        no_misalign         - Default
5888
 
5889
        multithread         - Default

    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
5907
    Theses are:
5908
        SOLARIS_SPARC
5909
        SOLARIS_AMD
5910
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
5911
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
5912
 
5913
Minor changes:
5914

Minor changes:
5927
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
5928
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
5929
    messages
5930
 
5931
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
5932
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
5933
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
5934
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
5935
 
5936

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5939
Major changes:
5940
 
5941
Minor changes:
5942
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5943
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5944
    library without creating the body of the library:
5945
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
5946
 
5947
 
5948
  * MOS toolsets
5949
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
5950
    library without creating the body of the library:
5951
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
5952
 
5953
  * JATS BIN directories
5954
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
5955
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
5956
    using autoconf.
5957
 
5958
  * Generate directive
5959
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
5960
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
5961
 
5962
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
5963

5968
Major changes:
5969
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
5970
    Initial release.

5977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5978
Major changes:
5979
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
5980
    Initial release.
5981
 
5982
  * Packaging directives
5983
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
5984
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
5985
 
5986
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
5987
        SOLARIS
5988
        WIN32
5989
 
5990
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
5991
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
5992
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
5993
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
5994
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
5995
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
5996
 
5997
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
5998
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
5999
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6000
 
6001
 
6002
Minor changes:
6003
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6004
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6005
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6006
 
6007
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6008
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6009
    location
6010
 
6011
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6012
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6013
 
6014
  * Utility genrc
6015
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6016
 
6017
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6018
    Added option: -new
6019
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6020
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6021
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6022
 
6023
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6024
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6025
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6026
 
6027
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6028
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6029
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6030
 
6031
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6032
   features - in a uniform manner.
6033
 
6034
 
6035
Internal Changes:
6036
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6037
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6038
 
6039
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6040
        1) Platform information available at build time
6041
        2) Dynamic platform names
6042
 
6043
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6044
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6045
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6046
 
6047
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6048
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6049
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6050
 
6051
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6052
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6053
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6054
    needed.
6055
 
6056
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6057
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6058
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6059
    files from all of these.
6060

6062
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6071
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6072
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6073
Major changes:
6074
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6075
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6076
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6077
 
6078
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6079
 
6080
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6081
    the operations.
6082
 
6083
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6084
 
6085
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6086
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6087
 
6088
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6089
 
6090
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6091
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6092
 
6093
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6094
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6095
    Extended the built-in help
6096
    Added useful error messages
6097
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6098
 
6099
  * WinCE toolset
6100
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6101
 
6102
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6103
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6104
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6105
 
6106
Minor changes:
6107
  * JATS wrapper script
6108
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6109
    the command line.
6110
 
6111
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6112
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6113
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6114
 
6115
Internal Changes:
6116
  * Common Error Reporting
6117
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6118
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6119
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6120
    level.
6121
 
6122
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6123
    displayed.
6124
 
6125
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6126
 
6127
  * Added JatsSystem module
6128
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6129

6140
    Added AT7272 support
6141
 
6142

    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6153
    use.
6154
 
6155
 
6156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6157
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6159
Major changes:
6160
 
6161
Minor changes:
6162
  * Mictotec toolset
6163
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6164
    builds.
6165
 
6166
  * JATS Core
6167
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6168
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6169
    behaviour.
6170
 
6171
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6172
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6174
Major changes:
6175
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6176
    Deployment package will be affected.
6177
 
6178
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6179
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6180
 
6181
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6182
 
6183
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6184
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6185
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6186
    packages.
6187
 
6188
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6189
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6190
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6191
 
6192
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6193
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6194
 
6195
Minor changes:
6196
  * SubDir directive
6197
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6198
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6199
 
6200
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6201
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6202
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6203
    of the file usage.
6204
 
6205
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6206
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6207
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6208
 
6209
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6210
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6211
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6212
 
6213
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6214
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6215
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6216
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6217
 
6218
 
6219
Internal Changes:
6220
  * Code refactor
6221
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6222
 
6223
  * Deployment utilities
6224
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6225
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6226
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6227
    the module can locate the file.
6228
 
6229
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6230
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6231
 
6232
  * JATS core
6233
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6234
 
6235
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6236
 
6237
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6238
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6239
    through the use of environment variables.
6240
 
6241
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6242
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6243
 
6244
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6245
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6246
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6247
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6248
 
6249
  * Make environment
6250
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6251
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6252
 
6253
 
6254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6255
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6257
Major changes:
6258
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6259
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6260
 
6261
 
6262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6263
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6265
 
6266
Not Released.
6267
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6268
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6269
 
6270
 
6271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6272
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6274
Major changes:
6275
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6276
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6277
    radically replaced.
6278
 
6279
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6280
    Usage:
6281
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6282
 
6283
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6284
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6285
    this solution:
6286
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6287
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6288
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6289
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6290
 
6291
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6292
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6293
    order to work.
6294
 
6295
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6296
    reduced functionality.
6297
 
6298
 
6299
Minor changes:
6300
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6301
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6302
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6303
 
6304
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6305
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6306
    within the makefiles.
6307
        Options:
6308
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6309
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6310
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6311
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6312
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6313
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6314
        Useage:
6315
 
6316
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6317
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6318
 
6319
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6320
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6321
    is not in the current directory.
6322
 
6323
  * Jats Command: ant'
6324
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6325
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6326
 
6327
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6328
 
6329
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6330
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6331
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6332
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6333
 
6334
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6335
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6336
    Thus
6337
 
6338
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6339
 
6340
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6341
 
6342
 
6343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6344
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6346
Major changes:
6347
 
6348
Minor changes:
6349
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6350
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6351
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6352
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6353
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6354
 
6355
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6356
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6357
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6358
 
6359
Internal changes:
6360
  * JATS toolsets
6361
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6362
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6363
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6364
 
6365
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6366
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6367
 
6368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6369
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6371
Major changes:
6372
  * Jats command: etool
6373
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6374
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6375
 
6376
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6377
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6378
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6379
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6380
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6381
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6382
 
6383
Minor changes:
6384
 
6385
 
6386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6387
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6388
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6389
Major changes:
6390
  * JATS environment variables
6391
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6392
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6393
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6394
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6395
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6396
 
6397
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6398
              Remote repository
6399
 
6400
    Added GBE_DPLY
6401
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6402
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6403
 
6404
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6405
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6406
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6407
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6408
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6409
 
6410
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6411
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6412
 
6413
 
6414
Minor changes:
6415
  * JATS utility: build
6416
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6417
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6418
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6419
 
6420
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6421
    Ensure label is not locked
6422
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6423
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6424
 
6425
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6426
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6427
    to a specific type of build.
6428
 
6429
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6430
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6431
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6432
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6433
 
6434
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6435
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6436
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6437
 
6438
  * JATS utility: release
6439
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6440
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6441
 
6442
  * JATS utility: label
6443
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6444
    when it is being created.
6445
 
6446
Internal Changes
6447
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6448
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6449
 
6450
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6451
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6452
 
6453
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6454
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6455
    different results.
6456
 
6457
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6458
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6459
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6460
 
6461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6462
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6464
Major changes:
6465
 
6466
  * MCR toolset
6467
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6468
 
6469
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6470
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6472
Major changes:
6473
  * WIN32 utilities
6474
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6475
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6476
 
6477
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6478
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6479
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6480
 
6481
Minor changes:
6482
  * BuildVersion
6483
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6484
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6485
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6486
 
6487
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6488
 
6489
  * Unix Builds
6490
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6491
    library or a shared library.
6492
 
6493
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6494
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6495
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6496
    start with 'lib'.
6497
 
6498
  * BuildPkgArchive
6499
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6500
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6501
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6502
 
6503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6504
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6505
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6506
Major changes:
6507
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6508
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6509
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6510
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6511
    being manually maintained.
6512
 
6513
 
6514
Minor changes:
6515
  * MakeAnt directive
6516
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6517
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6518
    supports ANT builds.
6519
 
6520
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6521
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6522
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6523
 
6524
  * Label utility
6525
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6526
    files to be labeled.
6527
 
6528
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6529
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6530
    on Solaris.
6531
 
6532
  * Generated makefiles
6533
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6534
    nothing.
6535
 
6536
  * MOS Toolset
6537
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6538
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6539
    modules.
6540
 
6541
  * Utility: gen_cots
6542
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6543
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6544
 
6545
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6546
 
6547
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6548
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6549
 
6550

  None
6555
 
6556
Minor changes:
6557
  * DEVI addressed
6558
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6559
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6560
 
6561
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6562
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6563
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6564
 
6565
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6566
 
6567
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6568
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6569
 
6570
  * RunTest directive
6571
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6572
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6573
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6574
 
6575
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6576
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6577
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6578
    packaged under JATS
6579
 
6580
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6581
          supported within JATS.
6582
 
6583
  * Jats utility wrapper
6584
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6585
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6586
 
6587
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6588
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6589
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6590
 
6591
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6592
    Eg: jats ant
6593
 
6594
  * Jats utility wrapper
6595
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6596
 
5710 dpurdie 6597
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6598
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6599
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6600
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6601
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6602
 
5710 dpurdie 6603
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6604
    expect a build.pl file.
6605
 
6606
  * Jats utility wrapper
6607
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6608
 
6609
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6610
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6611
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6612
 
6613
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6614
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6615
 
6616
  * Build files
6617
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6618
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 6619
 
6620

6621
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6623
Major changes:
6624
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6625
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6626
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6627
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6628
 
6629
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6630
 
6631
Minor changes:
6632
  * None
6633
 
6634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6635
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6637
Major changes:
6638
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6639
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6640
    ie:
6641
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6642
 
6643
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6644
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6645
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6646
    environments are compatible.
6647
 
6648
 
6649
Minor changes:
6650
  * BuildName option
6651
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6652
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6653
 
6654
  * jats.bat
6655
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6656
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6657
 
6658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6659
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6661
Major changes:
6662
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6663
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6664
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6665
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6666
 
6667
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6668
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6669
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6670
 
6671
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6672
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
6673
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
6674
 
6675
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
6676
    transferred.
6677
 
6678
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
6679
    See notes below.
6680
 
6681
  * WIN32 toolset
6682
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
6683
    correctly.
6684
 
6685
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
6686
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
6687
 
6688
  * BuildVersion
6689
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
6690
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
6691
    other langauges as needed.
6692
 
6693
 
6694
Minor changes:
6695
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
6696
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
6697
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
6698
    version strings.
6699
 
6700
  * GenerateFiles directive
6701
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
6702
    package or an imported package.
6703
 
6704
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
6705
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
6706
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
6707
 
6708
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
6709
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
6710
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
6711
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
6712
    makefiles and strange error messages.
6713
 
6714
Internal Changes
6715
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
6716
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
6717
    of utilities.
6718
 
6719
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
6720
    functions.
6721
 
6722
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6723
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
6724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6725
Major changes:
6726
  * Generated makefiles
6727
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
6728
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
6729
    that sed did not process its arguments.
6730
 
6731
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
6732
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
6733
    incorrectly processing:
6734
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
6735
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
6736
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
6737
    confused.
6738
 
6739
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
6740
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
6741
    The construct
6742
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
6743
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
6744
    then it works.
6745
 
6746
  * MakeAnt directive
6747
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
6748
 
6749
    This option has the following effects
6750
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
6751
           can be used installed and manipulated.
6752
 
6753
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
6754
           early - in the generated files phase.
6755
 
6756
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
6757
    component needs to generate a header file early.
6758
 
6759
 
6760
Minor changes:
6761
  * JATS post-installation script
6762
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
6763
 
6764
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
6765
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
6766
    windows.
6767
 
6768
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
6769
    Handle all variants of BuildName
6770
 
6771
  * Jats wrapper script
6772
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
6773
        1) Contain spaces
6774
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
6775
 
6776
  * Toolset
6777
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
6778
 
6779
  * JAVA toolset
6780
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
6781
    directive:
6782
 
6783
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
6784
 
6785
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
6786
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
6787
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
6788
 
6789
  * GCC Toolset
6790
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
6791
 
6792
  * Makefile generation
6793
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
6794
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
6795
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
6796
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
6797
    package could not be used.
6798
 
6799
  * Unit Tests
6800
    The following environment variables are set:
6801
 
6802
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
6803
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
6804
 
6805
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
6806
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
6807
 
6808
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
6809
 
6810
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6811
 
6812
 
6813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6814
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
6815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6816
Major changes:
6817
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
6818
 
6819
    Special features of this toolset.
6820
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
6821
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
6822
       incorporated within the target image.
6823
 
6824
    2) Prog directive extensions:
6825
       --Set=Name=Value
6826
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
6827
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
6828
 
6829
       --Ref=name
6830
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
6831
                to provide information that will be placed within the
6832
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
6833
                will be taken from the build version number.
6834
 
6835
Minor changes:
6836
  * MOS Toolset
6837
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
6838
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
6839
    packaged.
6840
 
6841
  * Src directive
6842
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
6843
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
6844
    specifier.
6845
 
6846
  * WIN32 runtime support
6847
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
6848
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
6849
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
6850
 
6851
Internal:
6852
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
6853
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
6854
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
6855
 
6856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6857
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
6858
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6859
Major changes:
6860
    * BuildAlias directive
6861
      Added options.
6862
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
6863
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
6864
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
6865
                          targets.
6866
      Eg:
6867
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
6868
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
6869
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
6870
 
6871
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
6872
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
6873
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
6874
 
6875
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
6876
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
6877
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
6878
 
6879
 
6880
Minor changes:
6881
  * Label utility
6882
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
6883
    build.pl file
6884
 
6885
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
6886
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
6887
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
6888
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
6889
    --FilterIn option.
6890
 
6891
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
6892
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
6893
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
6894
 
6895
  * Location of descpkg file
6896
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
6897
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
6898
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
6899
 
6900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6901
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
6902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6903
Major changes:
6904
  * RunTest directive
6905
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
6906
    Additional options
6907
      --CopyIn=file
6908
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
6909
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
6910
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
6911
        the test area.
6912
 
6913
    Additional operations
6914
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
6915
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
6916
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
6917
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
6918
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
6919
    Allows flags:
6920
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
6921
      --file        - file part of the pathname
6922
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
6923
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
6924
 
6925
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
6926
    existence is tested.
6927
 
6928
  * Packaging Directives
6929
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
6930
    such as LMOS.
6931
 
6932
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
6933
 
6934
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
6935
 
6936
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
6937
 
6938
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
6939
 
6940
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
6941
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
6942
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
6943
 
6944
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
6945
 
6946
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
6947
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
6948
 
6949
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
6950
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
6951
 
6952
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
6953
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
6954
 
6955
Minor changes:
6956
  * Script directive
6957
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
6958
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
6959
 
6960
  * JATS environment
6961
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
6962
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
6963
    the JATS wrapper script.
6964
 
6965
  * Label utility
6966
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
6967
    There are three modes of operation:
6968
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
6969
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
6970
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.

6974
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
6975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6976
Major changes:
6977
 
6978
Minor changes:
6979
  * label utility
6980
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
6981
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
6982
 
6983
  * AVR_IAR toolset
6984
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
6985
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
6986
      --ProgLoader=name
6987
 
6988
  * Package directives. PackageFile
6989
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
6990
    Options to do this are:
6991
        --TreeDir=name
6992
        --FilterOut=regexp
6993
        --FilterIn=regexp
6994
        --StripDir
6995
 
6996
    Only a single directory can be specified.
6997
    Multiple filters are allowed.
6998
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
6999
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7000
 
7001
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7002
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7003
 
7004
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7005
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7006
 
7007
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7008
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7009
 
7010
 
7011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7012
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7013
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7014
Major changes:
7015
    * Make commands
7016
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7017
 
7018
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7019
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7020
 
7021
    * Label utility
7022
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7023
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7024
 
7025
Minor changes:
7026
    * Toolsets
7027
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7028
      variables and overrides.
7029
 
7030
      The make_init target is always run.
7031
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7032
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7033
 
7034
    * Deployment
7035
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7036
      with deployment operations.
7037
 
7038
    * Release utility
7039
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7040
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7041
      restricted by options within the build.
7042
 
7043
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7044
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7045
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7046
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7047
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7048
 
7049
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7050
      directives.
7051
 
7052
    * MakeProject directive
7053
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7054
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7055
 
7056
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7057
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7058
      is preserved.
7059
 
7060
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7061
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7062
      statements.
7063
 
7064
    * Mugfile generation
7065
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7066
      be placed in the target package.
7067
 
7068
 
7069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7070
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7072
Major changes:
7073
    * BuildVersion directive
7074
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7075
      number as well as a patch number.
7076
 
7077
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7078
      number.
7079
 
7080
Minor changes:
7081
    * AddFlags directives
7082
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7083
      duplicate flags being added.
7084
 
7085
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7086
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7087
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7088
 
7089
    * Mug File Generation
7090
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7091
 
7092
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7093
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7094
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7095
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7096
     directory.
7097
 
7098
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7099
     reproducible.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7102
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7104
Major changes:
7105
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7106
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7107
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7108
      longer a list of directories.
7109
 
7110
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7111
      done within the toolset.
7112
 
7113
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7114
 
7115
    * JATS environment variables
7116
      Redefined variable
7117
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7118
                          Previously was a list that included the
7119
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7120
 
7121
      New variable
7122
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7123
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7124
 
7125
 
7126
Minor changes:
7127
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7128
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7129
      target platforms to be extracted.
7130
 
7131
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7132
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7133
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7134
 
7135
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7136
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7137
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7138
 
7139
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7140
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7141
 
7142
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7143
      Support ANT based XML files
7144
 
7145
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7146
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7147
      structure.
7148
 
7149
    * makefile.pl's
7150
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7151
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7152
 
7153
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7154
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7155
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7156
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7157
 
7158
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7159
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7160
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7161
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7162
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7163
      -- Auto.
7164
 
7165
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7166
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7167
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7168
 
7169
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7170
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7171
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7172
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7173
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7174
 
7175
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7176
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7177
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7178
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7179
      installed on the machine.
7180
 
7181
    * WINCE Targets
7182
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7183
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7184
 
7185
 
7186
 
7187
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7188
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7189
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7190
Major changes:
7191
    * WIN32 platforms
7192
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7193
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7194
      and installed packages.
7195
 
7196
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7197
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7198
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7199
 
7200
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7201
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7202
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7203
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7204
      searched when looking for libraries.
7205
 
7206
Minor changes:
7207
    * GenerateFiles directive
7208
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7209
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7210
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7211
                          and drive letter
7212
 
7213
    * Src directive
7214
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7215
      directory of a package.
7216
 
7217
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7218
 
7219
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7220
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7221
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7222
 
7223
    * jats_rewrite utility
7224
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7225
 
7226
 
7227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7228
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7230
Major changes:
7231
    * SunWorks production builds
7232
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7233
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7234
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7235
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7236
      compiler documentation.
7237
 
7238
    * MOS Toolset
7239
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7240
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7241
 
7242
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7243
 
7244
Minor changes:
7245
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7246
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7247
      This should not affect current users.
7248
 
7249
    * Mugfile generation
7250
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7251
      specified.
7252
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7253

7256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7257
Major changes:
7258
    MOS Toolset
7259
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7260
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7261
 
7262
Minor changes:
7263
    * Jats wrapper script
7264
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7265
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7266
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7267
 
7268
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7269
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7270
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7271
      may be suspect.
7272
 
7273
    * GenerateFiles directive
7274
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7275
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7276
 
7277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7278
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7280
Major changes:
7281
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7282
      build.xml files.
7283
 
7284
Minor changes:
7285
    * WIN32 toolset.
7286
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7287
 
7288
    * MakeAnt
7289
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7290
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7291
 
7292
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7293
 
7294
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7295
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7296
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7297
 
7298
    * MakeAnt directive
7299
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7300
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7301
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7302
 
7303
      Recommended usage:
7304
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7305
 
7306
Internal Changes
7307
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7313
Major changes:
7314
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7315
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7316
      files packaged into the release.
7317
 
7318

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7322
 
7323
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7324
      The recommended platform is:
7325
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7326
 
7327
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7328
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7329
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7330
      components.

7336
 
7337
Minor changes:
7338
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7339
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7340
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7341
      by the package to be accessed.
7342
 
7343
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7344
      application or visual studio.
7345
 
7346
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7347
      and the JATS Core path.
7348
 
7349
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7350
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7351
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7352
 
7353
    * MOS Toolset
7354
      Add support for the TPT device
7355
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7356
 
7357
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7358
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7359
 
7360
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7361
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7362
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7363
 
7364
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7365
 
7366
Internal Changes
7367
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained

Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7373
Major changes:
7374
    * JATS wrapper script
7375
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7376
 
7377
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7378
 
7379
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7380
 
7381
Minor changes:
7382
    * Deployment support
7383
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7384
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7385
 
7386
    * 'build'
7387
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7388
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7389
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7390
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7391
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7392
 
7393
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7394
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7395
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7396
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7397
                                      the link phase.
7398
 
7399
    * BuildPkgArchive
7400
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7401
      Previously these were ignored.
7402
      Minor code cleanup
7403
 
7404
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7405
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7406
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7407
 
7408
    * SOLARIS targets
7409
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7410
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7411
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7412
 
7413
    * MugFile generation
7414
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7415
      included in the final package.
7416
 
7417
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7418
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7419
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7420
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7421
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7422
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7423
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7424
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7425
 
7426
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7427
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7428
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7429
            --Option=(some_text)
7430
            --Option=[some_text]
7431
            --Option={some_text}
7432
 
7433
Internal Changes
7434
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7435
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7436
      code.
7437
 
7438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7439
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7441
Major changes:
7442
    * JATS wrapper script
7443
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7444
 
7445
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7446
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7447
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7448
      other components.
7449
 
7450
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7451
 
7452
    * JATS
7453
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7454
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7455
 
7456
    * Build operations
7457
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7458
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7459
      packages.
7460
 
7461
    * Make operations
7462
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7463
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7464
 
7465
Minor changes:
7466
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7467
      deployment builds.
7468
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7469
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7470
 
7471
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7472
 
7473
    * build.pl
7474
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7475
        processed. Allows
7476
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7477
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7478
        production.
7479
 
7480
    * MOS toolset
7481
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7482
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7483
 
7484
    * create_dpkg utility
7485
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7486
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7487
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7488
      progress of the build.
7489
 
7490
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7491
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7492
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7493
      system.
7494
 
7495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7496
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7498
Major changes:
7499
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7500
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7501
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7502
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7503
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7504
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7505
 
7506
    * WCEX86A500 target
7507
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7508
 
7509
    * MOS Toolsets
7510
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7511
      the compiler.
7512
 
7513
    * RunTest directive
7514
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7515
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7516
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7517
 
7518
Minor changes:
7519
    * JATS BUILD
7520
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7521
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7522
      highlight bad settings.
7523
 
7524
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7525
      access to extensions.
7526
 
7527
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7528
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7530
Major changes:
7531
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7532
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7533
 
7534
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7535
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7536
      under unix.
7537
 
7538
Minor changes:
7539
    * label utility
7540
      Added options to:
7541
        o Delete a label
7542
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7543
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7544
 
7545
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7546
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7547
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7548
      Package directives.
7549
 
7550
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7551
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7552
      system.
7553
 
7554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7555
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7557
Major changes:
7558
    * MOS Toolset
7559
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7560
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7561
 
7562
    * WIN32 Toolset
7563
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7564
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7565
      list.
7566
 
7567
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7568
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7569
 
7570
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7571
 
7572
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7573
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7574
 
7575
 
7576
Minor changes:
7577
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7578
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7579
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7580
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7581
      corrected.
7582
 
7583
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7584
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7585
 
7586
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7587
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7588
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7589
 
7590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7591
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7593
Major changes:
7594
    * WIN32 Toolset
7595
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7596
      use with multithreaded modes.
7597
 
7598
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7599
      --OnlyProd.
7600
 
7601
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7602
      within the makefile.pl.
7603
 
7604
Minor changes:
7605
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7606
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7607
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7608
      platforms.
7609
 
7610
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7611
 
7612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7613
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7614
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7615
Major changes:
7616
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7617
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7618
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7619
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7620
 
7621
    * Preliminary Support
7622
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7623
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7624
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7625
 
7626
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7627
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7628
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7629
 
7630
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7631
      building. The default build will build both.
7632
 
7633
Minor changes:
7634
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7635
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7636
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7637
 
7638
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7639
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7640
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7641
 
7642
 
7643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7644
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7646
Major changes:
7647
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7648
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7649
      or all.
7650
 
7651
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7652
      the library or program.
7653
 
7654
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7655
 
7656
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7657
      library or any debug files.
7658
 
7659
    * GenerateFiles
7660
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7661
 
7662
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7663
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7664
 
7665
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7666
              The filename of the prereq file
7667
 
7668
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7669
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7670
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7671
 
7672
 
7673
Minor changes:
7674
    * create_dpkg utility
7675
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
7676
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
7677
      the package has been altered.
7678
 
7679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7680
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
7681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7682
Major changes:
7683
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
7684
      This is a WINCE target
7685
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
7686
 
7687
    * New toolset
7688
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
7689
 
7690
    * Modified toolset
7691
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
7692
 
7693
    * Modified toolset
7694
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
7695
 
7696
Minor changes:
7697
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
7698
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
7699
 
7700
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
7701
 
7702
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
7703
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
7704
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
7705
 
7706
      The change allows the construct
7707
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
7708
      to be replaced by the simpler
7709
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
7710
 
7711
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
7712
      specified name.    
7713

7732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7733
Major changes:
7734
    * The "package.pl" file.
7735
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
7736
      package name being taken from the build name
7737
 
7738
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
7739
      package Build Name.
7740
 
7741
Minor changes:
7742
    * create_dpkg utility
7743
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
7744
 
7745

7749
 
7750
Minor changes:
7751
    * Dependancy generator
7752
      Correct two common situations
7753
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
7754
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
7755
           ansi, but is often done.
7756
 
7757
    * GCC toolset
7758
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
7759
      being created in the correct place.
7760
 
7761
    * jats "label"
7762
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
7763
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
7764
 
7765
 
7766

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7769
Major changes:
7770
 
7771
Minor changes:
7772
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
7773
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
7774
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
7775
 
7776
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
7777
      pkg directory will be transferred.
7778
 
7779
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
7780
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
7781
      package was not being transferred.
7782
 
7783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7784
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
7785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7786
Major changes:
7787
    * Support for solaris_i386
7788
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
7789
      binaries for this target.
7790
 
7791
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
7792
      with the GCC compiler.
7793
 
7794
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
7795
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
7796
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
7797
 
7798
Minor changes:
7799
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7800
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
7801
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7802
 
7803
    * cbuild ( release) utility
7804
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
7805
 
7806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7807
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
7808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7809
Major changes:
7810
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
7811
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
7812
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
7813
 
7814
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
7815
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
7816
 
7817
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
7818
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
7819
      with either " or ' characters.
7820
 
7821
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
7822
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7823
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7824
 
7825
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
7826
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
7827
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
7828
 
7829
    * Jats wrapper
7830
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
7831
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
7832
      further commands.
7833
 
7834
Minor changes:
7835
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
7836
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
7837
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
7838
      name of the .dep file and its content.
7839
 
7840
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7841
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
7842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7843
Major changes:
7844
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
7845
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
7846
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
7847
 
7848
      These options operation affect all components within the
7849
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
7850
      then they will affect all components within the build.
7851
 
7852
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
7853
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
7854
 
7855
Minor changes:
7856
 
7857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7858
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7860
Major changes:
7861
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
7862
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
7863
 
7864
Minor changes:
7865
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
7866
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
7867
 
7868
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
7869
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
7870
 
7871
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7872
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7874
Major changes:
7875
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
7876
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
7877
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
7878
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
7879
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
7880
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
7881
      installed.
7882
 
7883
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
7884
      libraries that depend on each other.
7885
 
7886
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
7887
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
7888
 
7889
Minor changes:
7890
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
7891
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
7892
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
7893
 
7894
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
7895
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
7896
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
7897
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
7898
 
7899
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7900
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
7901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7902
Major changes:
7903
 
7904
Minor changes:
7905
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
7906
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
7907
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
7908
      file.
7909
 
7910
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
7911
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
7912
 
7913
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
7914
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
7915
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
7916
 
7917
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
7918
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
7919
 
7920
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
7921
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
7922
 
7923
    * WinCE toolsets
7924
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
7925
      compiler specific libraries.
7926
 
7927
    * SOLARIS toolset
7928
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
7929
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
7930
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
7931
 
7932
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
7933
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
7934
      cleaned up.
7935
 
7936
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
7937
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
7938
 
7939
    * jats_rewriter.pl
7940
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
7941
      with either " or ' characters.
7942
 
7943
 
7944
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7945
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
7946
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7947
Major changes:
7948
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
7949
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
7950
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
7951
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
7952
 
7953
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
7954
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
7955
 
7956
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
7957
      user.
7958
 
7959
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
7960
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
7961
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
7962
 
7963
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
7964
      for the   -Gf option.
7965
 
7966
Minor changes:
7967
    * SOLARIS Toolset
7968
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
7969
 
7970
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
7971
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
7972
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
7973
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
7974
 
7975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7976
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
7977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7978
Major changes:
7979
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
7980
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
7981
 
7982
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
7983
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
7984
      data addresses for the board.
7985
 
7986
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
7987
 
7988
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
7989
 
7990
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
7991
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
7992
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
7993
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
7994
         PackageFile
7995
 
7996
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
7997
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
7998
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
7999
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8000
 
8001
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8002
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8003
      to be installed and packaged.
8004
 
8005
Minor changes:
8006
 
8007
    * cache_dpkg utility
8008
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8009
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8010
 
8011
    * label utility
8012
      New option -auto to create and label
8013
 
8014
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8015
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8016
 
8017
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8018
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8019
      directory. ie:
8020
 
8021
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8022
 
8023
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8024
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8025
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8026
 
8027
 
8028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8029
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8031
Major changes:
8032
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8033
 
8034
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8035
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8036
 
8037
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8038
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8039
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8040
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8041
 
8042
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8043
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8044
      compilation.
8045
 
8046
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8047
 
8048
Minor changes:
8049
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8050
      one is being produced.
8051
 
8052
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8053
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8054
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8055
 
8056
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8057
 
8058
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8059
 
8060
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8061
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8062
 
8063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8064
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8066
Major changes:
8067
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8068
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8069
 
8070
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8071
 
8072
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8073
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8074
      same directory
8075
 
8076
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8077
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8078
      documenattion.
8079
 
8080
Minor changes:
8081
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8082
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8083
 
8084
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8085
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8086
 
8087
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8088
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8089
 
8090
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8091
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8092
 
8093
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8094
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8095
      be exempt from this test.
8096
 
8097
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8098
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8099
 
8100
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8101
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8102
 
8103
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8104
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8105
      does.
8106
 
8107
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8108
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8109
 
8110
 
8111
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8112
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8114
Major changes:
8115
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8116
 
8117
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8118
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8119
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8120
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8121
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8122
 
8123
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8124
      operations.
8125
 
8126
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8127
 
8128
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8129
 
8130
Minor changes
8131
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8132
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8133
 
8134
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8135
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8136
      directory is not added to the library path.
8137
 
8138
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8139
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8140
 
8141
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8142
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8143
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8144
 
8145
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8146
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8147
      specific flags.
8148
 
8149
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8150
 
8151
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8152
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8153
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8154
 
8155
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8156
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8157
      JATS.

    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8160
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8161
 
8162
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8163
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8164
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8165
 
8166
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8167
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8168
 
8169
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8170
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8171
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8172
 
8173
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8174
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8175
 
8176
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8177
 
8178
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8179
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8180
 
8181
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8182
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8183
      objects.
8184
 
8185
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8186
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8187
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8188
      build defendants.
