		337	`a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.`
		338	`It could also have been written as:`
		339	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)`
		340	`but NOT as:`
		341	`PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)`

		2314	`as the main binary.`

		2316	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`

321	dpurdie	3106	`Exceptions - Enable exception handling`
317	dpurdie	3107	`noExceptions - Disable`
		3108	`Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.`
		3109	`Example:`
		3110	`CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );`
		3111
		3112	`* Solaris targets`
		3113	`Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32`
		3114	`It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only`
		3115	`available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one`
		3116	`machine type.`
		3117
		3118	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		3119	`Version: 2.82.0000.cr Released: 18-Jan-10`

		3121	`Major changes:`
315	dpurdie	3122	`* New Build Platform: VB6`
		3123	`Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp`
		3124	`project files.`
		3125
		3126	`* Build Directive BuildVersion.`
		3127	`This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a`
		3128	`form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'`
		3129
		3130	`Minor changes:`
		3131	`* Added more internal documentation`
		3132	`Use jats help to see available documentation`

		3138	`Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file`
		3139	`under windows.`
		3140
		3141	`* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds`
		3142	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`
		3143	`This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared`
		3144	`libraries.`
		3145
		3146	`* Solaris builds`
		3147	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3148	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`
		3149	`dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause`
		3150	`of the build failure.`
		3151
		3152
		3153	`Internal changes:`
		3154	`* Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program`

		3163	`Major changes:`
		3164	`* Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets`
		3165	`Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64`
		3166	`targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the`
		3167	`existing 32-bit builds.`
		3168
		3169	`64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1`

		3180	`Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.`
		3181
		3182	`* jats help`

		3213
		3214	`Internal changes`
		3215	`* Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory`
		3216	`This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS`
		3217	`Useful side effects include:`
		3218
		3219	`JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included`
		3220	`with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.`
		3221
		3222	`[DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,`
		3223	`simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.`
		3224
		3225	`[DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other`
		3226	`tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a`
		3227	`BuildPkgArchive`
		3228
313	dpurdie	3229	`* Perl Modules`
		3230	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`
		3231	`release. This will:`
		3232	`* Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour`

		3247
		3248	`* Jats label utility`
		3249	`Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors`
		3250
		3251	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`
		3252	`the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find`
		3253	`new files and folders to label - there should be none.`
		3254
		3255	`* Jats core`
		3256	`Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow`
		3257	`for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be`

		3268	`This is now fixed.`
		3269
309	dpurdie	3270	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3271	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`
309	dpurdie	3272	`to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.`
307	dpurdie	3273
		3274	`* WCEPSION_500_VS2005`

		3302
		3303	`WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the`
		3304	`WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.`
		3305
		3306	`* Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005`
		3307	`Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported`

		3314	`Better detection of bad platform names under Windows`
		3315	`Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.`
		3316
		3317	`* MOS builds`
		3318	`If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address`
		3319	`is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'`
		3320
		3321	`* MOS builds`

		3337	`This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.`
		3338
		3339	`* Windows Shell`
		3340	`The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so`
		3341	`that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'`
		3342
		3343	`Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.`
		3344
		3345	`* H8S toolset`
		3346	`Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.`
		3347
		3348	`If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot`
		3349	`handle macros that use line continuation.`
		3350
		3351	`Internal changes`

		3375	`DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.`
		3376	`Changes are transparent to users.`
		3377

		3379	`as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if`
		3380	`this occurs.`
		3381
		3382	`* The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.`
		3383	`This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'`

		3385	`automated build framework.`
		3386
		3387	`* jats sandbox command`

		3399	`* Jats Command line and -java option`
		3400	`This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into`

		3402	`jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version`
		3403	`jats -java=1.6 ant build`
		3404	`will work as expected`

		3464	`Major changes:`
		3465	`* New Platform: DELPHI7`
		3466	`Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using`
		3467	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3468
		3469	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3470	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3471
		3472	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3473	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3474	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3475	`names cannot be changed.`
		3476
		3477	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3478	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3479
		3480	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3481	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3482	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3483	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3484
		3485	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3486	`file.`
		3487	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3488	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3489	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3490
		3491	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3492	`file.`
		3493	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3494	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3495	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3496
		3497	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3498	`file.`
		3499	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3500	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3501	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3502
		3503	`Minor changes:`
		3504	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3505	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`
		3506	`standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not`
		3507	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		3508
		3509	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3510	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3511	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3512
		3513	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3514	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3515	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3516	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3517
		3518	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3519	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3520
		3521	`Internal Changes:`
		3522	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3523	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3524	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3525	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3526
		3527	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3528	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3529	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

		3537	`information for purely C++ builds.`
		3538
289	dpurdie	3539	`* Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password`
		3540	`for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.`
287	dpurdie	3541
289	dpurdie	3542	`NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order`

		3544	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3545
		3546	`Minor changes:`
		3547	`* The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the`
		3548	`environment. This only affects the build daemons.`

		4561	`Version: 2.72.00000.cr Released: 11-Jan-08`
		4562	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4563	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	4564	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		4565	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		4566	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		4567	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		4568
		4569	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		4570
		4571	`A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align`
		4572	`itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.`
		4573
		4574	`* Running Jats`
		4575	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`
		4576	`Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.`

		4583
		4584	`Minor changes:`
		4585	`* Perl Version Check`
		4586	`Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer`
		4587	`than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward`
		4588	`compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.`
		4589
		4590	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		4591	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`

		4593	`build.`
		4594
		4595	`* Jats Internals`

		4597	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		4598
		4599	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		4600	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		4601	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		4602	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		4603	`process.`
		4604
		4605	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		4606	`Only works under Windows.`

		4608	`Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.`
		4609

		4613	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		4614	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`
		4615	`into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.`
		4616
		4617	`* Jats eprog`
		4618	`Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current`
		4619	`directory.`
		4620
		4621	`* jats tool jats_metrics`

		4630	`Minor changes:`
		4631	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		4632	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`
		4633	`version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the`
		4634	`automated build system. New options are:`
		4635	`-pname=Package_Name`
		4636	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		4637
		4638	`Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without`

		4640	`-test`
		4641
		4642	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`

		4647	`a space separated or a comma separated list.`
		4648
		4649	`* Solaris Toolset`
		4650	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		4651	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		4652	`programs are still supported.`
		4653

		4657	`Major changes:`
		4658
		4659	`Minor changes:`
		4660	`* WINCE toolsets`
		4661	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		4662	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		4663	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		4664	`when header files cannot be found.`
		4665
		4666	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		4667	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`
		4668	`it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames`
		4669	`that are difficult to solve.`
		4670
		4671	`* MakePerlModule directive`
		4672	`Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed`
		4673	`to the the module builder.`

		4678	`-dirs=xxx options.`
		4679
		4680	`* Jats Tool: release`
		4681	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		4682	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		4683
		4684	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		4685	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		4686
		4687	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		4688	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`
		4689	`uploaded to CodeStriker.`
		4690
		4691	`Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.`

		4736	`Minor changes:`
		4737	`* Makefile generation`
		4738	`Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target`

		4774	`available within the current build.`
		4775
		4776	`* jats makefiles`
		4777	`Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the`

		4779
		4780	`If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.`
		4781	`pl, then it will be ignored.`
		4782
		4783	`* gcc toolset`
		4784	`SharedLibries.`

		4800	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4801	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`
		4802	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4803	`Major changes:`
		4804
		4805	`Minor changes:`
		4806	`PackageLib directive`
		4807	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		4808	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		4809	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		4810
		4811	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		4812	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`

		4815	`Multiple Parent detection`
		4816	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`

		4819	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		4820
		4821	`Solaris Toolset`
		4822	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		4823	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		4824	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		4825	`link.`
		4826
		4827	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		4828	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		4829	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		4830
		4831	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		4832	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		4833	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		4834	`file.`
		4835
		4836	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4837	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		4838	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4839	`Major changes:`
		4840	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		4841	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		4842	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		4843
		4844	`Summary of changes:`
		4845	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		4846	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		4847	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		4848	`flexibility.`
		4849
		4850	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		4851
		4852	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		4853	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		4854	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		4855
		4856	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		4857	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		4858	`than one second.`
		4859
		4860	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		4861	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		4862	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		4863	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		4864	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		4865	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		4866
		4867	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		4868	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		4869	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		4870
		4871	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		4872	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		4873	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		4874	`building them.`
		4875
		4876	`- Detection of build file changes`
		4877	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		4878	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		4879	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		4880
		4881	`- Quieter make output`
		4882	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		4883
		4884
		4885	`Minor changes:`
		4886	`MakeAnt Directive`
		4887	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		4888
		4889	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		4890	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		4891	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		4892	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		4893	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		4894
		4895	`CSHARP toolset`
		4896	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		4908	`If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.`
		4909	`Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.`

		4924	`New option: --PackageBase`
		4925	`This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive`

		4990	`Minor changes:`
		4991	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`

		4997
		4998	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`
		4999
		5000	`1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl`

		5022	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5023	`Major changes:`
		5024
		5025	`Minor changes:`
		5026	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5027	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5028	`dependent packages.`
		5029
		5030	`* RunTest operation`
		5031	`Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.`

		5036	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5037	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5038	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5039	`Major changes:`
		5040	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5041
		5042	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5043	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5044	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5045	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5046	`path.`
		5047
		5048	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5049	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5050	`reproducible.`
		5051
		5052	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5053	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5054
		5055	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5056	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5057	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5058	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5059
		5060	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5061	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5062	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5063	`controlled separately.`
		5064
		5065	`Minor changes:`
		5066	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5067	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5068	`Remove duplicates`
		5069	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5070
		5071	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5072	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5073	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5074	`Major changes:`
		5075
		5076	`Minor changes:`
		5077	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5078	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5079	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5080
		5081	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5082	`x86 machine.`
		5083
		5084	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5085	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5086
		5087	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5088	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5089	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5090	`Major changes:`
		5091	`* RunTest directive`
		5092	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5093	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5094	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5095
		5096	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5097	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5098	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5099	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5100
		5101	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5102	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5103
		5104	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5105	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5106
		5107	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5108	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5109	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5110
		5111	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5112	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5113
		5114	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5115	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5116	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5117
		5118	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5119	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5120	`P or D suffix.`
		5121	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5122	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5123
		5124	`Minor changes:`
		5125	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5126	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5127	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5128	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5129	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5130
		5131	`* Save Build Utility`
		5132	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5133	`used in a ripple build.`
		5134
		5135	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5136	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5137
		5138	`* Release Utility`
		5139	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5140	`when an error is encountered.`
		5141
		5142	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5143	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5144
		5145	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5146	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5147	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5148
		5149	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5150	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5151
		5152	`* TestProg directive`
		5153	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5154
		5155	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5156	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`
		5157

		5172	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5173
		5174	`Minor changes:`
		5175	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`

		5179	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5180
		5181	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5182	`and .cs files.`
		5183
		5184	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5185	`thing.`
		5186
		5187	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5188	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5189	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5190	`were it places temp files.`
		5191
		5192	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5193	`interaction with other builds.`
		5194
		5195	`* Release utility command`
		5196	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5197	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5198	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5287	`Major changes:`
		5288	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`

		5290	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5291
		5292	`* GenerateFiles`
		5293	`Added the options:`
		5294	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5298
		5299	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`
		5300	`'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates`

		5310	`* GCC Toolset`
		5311	`Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent`

		5374	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		5375	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		5376	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`

		5391	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5392	`Major changes:`
		5393	`* MakeAnt directive`
		5394	`Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.`
		5395
		5396	`New options`
		5397	`--AutoTest=<target> # Run as Automated unit test`
		5398	`--UnitTest=<target> # Run as Unit test`
		5399
		5400	`This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the`
		5401	`run_unit_tests phase.`
		5402
		5403	`* Sandbox support`
		5404	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`
		5405	`Will remain undocumented until fully implemented`
		5406
		5407	`Minor changes:`
		5408	`* jats build`
		5409	`Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of`
		5410	`platforms that will be 'built'.`
		5411
		5412	`This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		5413
		5414	`This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is`
		5415	`available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific`
		5416	`platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600`
		5417
		5418	`* AVR_IAR Toolset`
		5419	`Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.`
		5420
		5421	`* JATS.BAT`
		5422	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5423	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`
		5424	`the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.`
		5425
		5426	`* jats label`
		5427	`Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB`

		5431	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5432	`Major changes:`
		5433	`* New build platform:`
		5434	`LMOS_TP5600`
		5435	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5436	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5437
		5438	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5439	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5440	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5441
		5442	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5443	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5444	`build these targets.`
		5445
		5446	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5447	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5448
		5449	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5450	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5451
		5452	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5453	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5454	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5455	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5456
		5457	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5458	`WCEIT3000`
		5459	`WCEPA961`
		5460	`WCEPA962`
		5461	`WCEPCM7220`

		5466	`WCEX86A500`
		5467	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5468
		5469	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5470
		5471	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5472	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5473	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5474
		5475	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5476	`very unusual configurations.`
		5477
		5478	`Minor changes:`
		5479	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5480	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5481	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5482	`an '='.`
		5483
		5484	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5485	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5486
		5487	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5488	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5489	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5490
		5491	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5492	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5493
		5494	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5495	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5496	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5497	`Major changes:`
		5498
		5499	`* JATS release command`
		5500	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5501	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5502
		5503	`Rules are:`
		5504	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5505	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5506	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5507	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5508	`New directory will branch`
		5509
		5510	`Minor changes:`
		5511	`* JATS release command`
		5512	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5513	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5514
		5515	`* JATS label command`
		5516	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5517	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5518
		5519	`* JATS make`
		5520	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5521	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5522	`was re-packaged.`
		5523
		5524	`* JATS escrow`
		5525	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5526	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5527
		5528	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5529	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5530	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5531
		5532	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5533	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5534	`interface directory.`
		5535
		5536	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5537	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5538	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5539	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5540
		5541	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5542
		5543	`* JAVA 6`
		5544	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5545	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5546
		5547	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5548	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5549
		5550	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5551
		5552	`* Jats command: vars`
		5553	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5554	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5555
		5556	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5557	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5558	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5559	`Major changes:`
		5560	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5561	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5562	`libarry is also created.`
		5563
		5564	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5565	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5566	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5567	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5568	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5569	`information contained within the file.`
		5570
		5571	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5572	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5573
		5574	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5575	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5576
		5577	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5578	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5579	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5580
		5581	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5582
		5583	`Minor changes:`
		5584	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5585	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5586	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5587
		5588	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5589	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5590	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5591	`Major changes:`
		5592	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		5593	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		5594	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		5595
		5596	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		5597	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		5598	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		5599	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		5600
		5601	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		5602	`build.pl file.`
		5603
		5604	`Minor changes:`
		5605	`* jats release`
		5606	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		5607	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		5608	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		5609
		5610	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		5611	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		5612	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		5613	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		5614	`the name of the view.`
		5615
		5616	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5617	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		5618
		5619	`* MOS Toolset`
		5620	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		5621	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		5622	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		5623
		5624	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		5625
		5626
		5627	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5628	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		5629	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5630	`Major changes:`
		5631
		5632	`Minor changes:`
		5633	`* JATS environment`
		5634	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		5635	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		5636	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		5637
		5638	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		5639
		5640	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		5641	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		5642	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		5643	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		5644	`to be packaged.`
		5645
		5646	`* Generated makefiles`
		5647	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		5648
		5649	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		5650	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		5651	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		5652	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		5653
		5654	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		5655
		5656	`* JATS release`
		5657	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		5658
		5659	`* JATS extract`
		5660	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		5661
		5662	`* JATS Toolset`
		5663	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		5664	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		5665
		5666
		5667	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5668	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		5669	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5670	`Major changes:`
		5671
		5672	`Minor changes:`
		5673	`* jats label`
		5674	`Added a -vob=name option`
		5675	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		5676	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		5677	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		5678	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		5679
		5680	`Added a -user=name option`
		5681	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		5682	`label to the named user.`
		5683
		5684	`* jats release`
		5685	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		5686	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		5687
		5688	`* JATS build.pl`
		5689	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		5690	`ie:`
		5691	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		5692
		5693
		5694	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5695	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		5696	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5697	`Major changes:`
		5698	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		5699	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		5700	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		5701	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		5702	`--Var(BuildName)`
		5703	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		5704	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		5705
		5706	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		5707
		5708	`* GenerateFiles`
		5709	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		5710	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		5711
		5712	`* BuildPlatforms`
		5713	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		5714
		5715	`Minor changes:`
		5716	`* GCC Toolset`
		5717	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		5718
		5719	`Internal changes:`
		5720	`* GenerateFiles`
		5721	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		5722
		5723	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		5724	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		5725
		5726
		5727	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5728	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		5729	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5730	`Major changes:`
		5731	`* Caching JATS`
		5732	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		5733	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		5734
		5735	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		5736	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		5737	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		5738
		5739	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		5740	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		5741	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		5742
		5743	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		5744
		5745	`Minor changes:`
		5746	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		5747	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		5748	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		5749
		5750	`* jats build`
		5751	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		5752	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		5753	`processed by the build.`
		5754
		5755	`* jats build`
		5756	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		5757	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		5758	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		5759	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		5760	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		5761
		5762	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		5763	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		5764	`Path is not specified.`
		5765
		5766	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		5767	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		5768	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		5769	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		5770	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		5771
		5772	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		5773	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		5774	`Windows platform.`
		5775
		5776	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		5777	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		5778	`by 'purecov.`
		5779
		5780	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5781	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		5782
		5783	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		5784	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5785	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		5786	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		5790	`Version: JATS_2.61.2 Released: 27-Nov-06`
		5791	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5792	`Major changes:`
		5793	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		5794	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		5795	`Example:`
		5796	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		5797	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		5798	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		5799
		5800	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		5801	`been determined.`
		5802
		5803	`Minor changes:`
		5804	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		5805	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		5806	`located at build-time.`
		5807
		5808	`* Unix based systems`
		5809	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		5810	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		5811
		5812	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		5813	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		5814	`driver being built.`

		6016	`Version: JATS_2.56.2 Released: 28-Aug-06`

		6019
		6020	`Minor changes:`
		6021	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6022	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`

		6058	`* Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64`
		6059	`Initial release.`
		6060
		6061	`* Packaging directives`
		6062	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6063	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6064
		6065	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6066	`SOLARIS`
		6067	`WIN32`
		6068
		6069	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6070	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6071	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6072	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6073	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6074	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6075
		6076	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6077	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6078	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6079
		6080
		6081	`Minor changes:`

		6084	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		6085
		6086	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6087	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6088	`location`
		6089
		6090	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6091	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6092
		6093	`* Utility genrc`
		6094	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6095
		6096	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6097	`Added option: -new`
		6098	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6099	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6100	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6101
		6102	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6103	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6104	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6105
		6106	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6107	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6108	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6109
		6110	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6111	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6112
		6113
		6114	`Internal Changes:`
		6115	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6116	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6117
		6118	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6119	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6120	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6121
		6122	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6123	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6124	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6125
		6126	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6127	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6128	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6129
		6130	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6131	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6132	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6133	`needed.`
		6134
		6135	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6136	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6137	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6138	`files from all of these.`

		6150	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6151	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6152	`Major changes:`
		6153	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6154	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6155	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6156
		6157	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6158
		6159	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6160	`the operations.`
		6161
		6162	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6163
		6164	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6165	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6166
		6167	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6168
		6169	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6170	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6171
		6172	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6173	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6174	`Extended the built-in help`

		6176	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6177

		6179	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6180
		6181	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		6182	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		6183	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6184
		6185	`Minor changes:`
		6186	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6187	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6188	`the command line.`
		6189
		6190	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6191	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6192	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6193
		6194	`Internal Changes:`
		6195	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6196	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6197	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6198	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6199	`level.`
		6200
		6201	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6202	`displayed.`
		6203
		6204	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6205

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

		6548	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6549	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		6550	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6551	`Major changes:`
		6552	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6553	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6554	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6555
		6556	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6557	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6558	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6559
		6560	`Minor changes:`
		6561	`* BuildVersion`
		6562	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6563	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6564	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6565
		6566	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6567
		6568	`* Unix Builds`
		6569	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6570	`library or a shared library.`
		6571
		6572	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6573	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6574	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6575	`start with 'lib'.`
		6576
		6577	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6578	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6579	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6580	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6581
		6582	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6583	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6584	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6585	`Major changes:`
		6586	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6587	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6588	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6589	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6590	`being manually maintained.`
		6591
		6592
		6593	`Minor changes:`
		6594	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6595	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		6596	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		6597	`supports ANT builds.`
		6598
		6599	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6600	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		6601	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		6602
		6603	`* Label utility`
		6604	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		6605	`files to be labeled.`
		6606
		6607	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		6608	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		6609	`on Solaris.`
		6610
		6611	`* Generated makefiles`
		6612	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		6613	`nothing.`
		6614
		6615	`* MOS Toolset`
		6616	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		6617	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		6618	`modules.`
		6619
		6620	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		6621	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		6622	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		6623
		6624	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		6625
		6626	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		6627	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`
		6628

		6630	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		6631	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6632	`Major changes:`
		6633	`None`
		6634
		6635	`Minor changes:`
		6636	`* DEVI addressed`
		6637	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	6638	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	6639
		6640	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		6641	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		6642	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		6643
		6644	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		6645
		6646	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		6647	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		6648
		6649	`* RunTest directive`
		6650	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		6651	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		6652	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		6653
		6654	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		6655	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		6656	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		6657	`packaged under JATS`
		6658
		6659	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		6660	`supported within JATS.`
		6661
		6662	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6663	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		6664	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		6665
		6666	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		6667	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		6668	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		6669
		6670	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		6671	`Eg: jats ant`
		6672
		6673	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6674	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		6675
5710	dpurdie	6676	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	6677	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		6678	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		6679	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		6680	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		6681
5710	dpurdie	6682	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	6683	`expect a build.pl file.`
		6684
		6685	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6686	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		6687
		6688	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		6689	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		6690	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		6691
		6692	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		6693	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		6694
		6695	`* Build files`
		6696	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	6697	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	6698
		6699	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6700	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		6701	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6702	`Major changes:`
		6703	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		6704	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		6705	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		6706	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		6707
		6708	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		6709
		6710	`Minor changes:`
		6711	`* None`
		6712
		6713	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6714	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		6715	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6716	`Major changes:`
		6717	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		6718	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		6719	`ie:`
		6720	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		6721
		6722	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		6723	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		6724	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		6725	`environments are compatible.`
		6726
		6727
		6728	`Minor changes:`
		6729	`* BuildName option`
		6730	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	6731	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	6732
		6733	`* jats.bat`
		6734	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		6735	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`

		6737	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6738	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		6739	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6740	`Major changes:`
		6741	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6742	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		6743	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		6744	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		6745
		6746	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		6747	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		6748	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		6749
		6750	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		6751	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		6752	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		6753
		6754	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		6755	`transferred.`
		6756
		6757	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		6758	`See notes below.`
		6759
		6760	`* WIN32 toolset`
		6761	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		6762	`correctly.`
		6763
		6764	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		6765	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		6766
		6767	`* BuildVersion`
		6768	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		6769	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		6770	`other langauges as needed.`
		6771
		6772
		6773	`Minor changes:`
		6774	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		6775	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		6776	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		6777	`version strings.`
		6778
		6779	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6780	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		6781	`package or an imported package.`
		6782
		6783	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		6784	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		6785	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		6786
		6787	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		6788	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		6789	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		6790	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		6791	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		6792
		6793	`Internal Changes`
		6794	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		6795	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		6796	`of utilities.`
		6797
		6798	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		6799	`functions.`
		6800
		6801	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6802	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		6803	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6804	`Major changes:`
		6805	`* Generated makefiles`
		6806	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		6807	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		6808	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		6809
		6810	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		6811	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		6812	`incorrectly processing:`
		6813	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		6814	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		6815	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		6816	`confused.`
		6817
		6818	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		6819	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		6820	`The construct`
		6821	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		6822	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		6823	`then it works.`
		6824
		6825	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6826	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		6827
		6828	`This option has the following effects`
		6829	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		6830	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		6831
		6832	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		6833	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		6834
		6835	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		6836	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		6837
		6838
		6839	`Minor changes:`
		6840	`* JATS post-installation script`
		6841	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		6842
		6843	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		6844	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		6845	`windows.`
		6846
		6847	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		6848	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		6849
		6850	`* Jats wrapper script`
		6851	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		6852	`1) Contain spaces`
		6853	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		6854
		6855	`* Toolset`
		6856	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		6857
		6858	`* JAVA toolset`
		6859	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		6860	`directive:`
		6861
		6862	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		6863
		6864	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		6865	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		6866	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		6867
		6868	`* GCC Toolset`
		6869	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		6870
		6871	`* Makefile generation`
		6872	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		6873	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		6874	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		6875	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		6876	`package could not be used.`
		6877
		6878	`* Unit Tests`
		6879	`The following environment variables are set:`
		6880
		6881	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		6882	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		6883
		6884	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		6885	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		6886
		6887	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		6888
		6889	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6890
		6891
		6892	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		6894	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6895	`Major changes:`
		6896	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		6897
		6898	`Special features of this toolset.`
		6899	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		6900	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		6901	`incorporated within the target image.`
		6902
		6903	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		6904	`--Set=Name=Value`
		6905	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		6906	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		6907
		6908	`--Ref=name`
		6909	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		6910	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		6911	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		6912	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		6913
		6914	`Minor changes:`
		6915	`* MOS Toolset`
		6916	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		6917	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		6918	`packaged.`
		6919
		6920	`* Src directive`
		6921	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		6922	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		6923	`specifier.`
		6924
		6925	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		6926	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		6927	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		6928	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		6929
		6930	`Internal:`
		6931	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		6932	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		6933	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		6934
		6935	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6936	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`
		6937	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6938	`Major changes:`
		6939	`* BuildAlias directive`
		6940	`Added options.`
		6941	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		6942	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		6943	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		6944	`targets.`
		6945	`Eg:`
		6946	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		6947	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		6948	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		6949
		6950	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		6951	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		6952	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		6953
		6954	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		6955	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		6956	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		6957
		6958
		6959	`Minor changes:`
		6960	`* Label utility`
		6961	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		6962	`build.pl file`
		6963
		6964	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		6965	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`
		6966	`needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.`
		6967	`Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the`
		6968	`--FilterIn option.`
		6969
		6970	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		6971	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		6972	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		6973
		6974	`* Location of descpkg file`
		6975	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		6976	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		6977	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		6978
		6979	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6980	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`
		6981	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6982	`Major changes:`
		6983	`* RunTest directive`
		6984	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		6985	`Additional options`
		6986	`--CopyIn=file`
		6987	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		6988	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		6989	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		6990	`the test area.`
		6991
		6992	`Additional operations`
		6993	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		6994	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		6995	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		6996	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		6997	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		6998	`Allows flags:`
		6999	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		7000	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		7001	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		7002	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		7003
		7004	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		7005	`existence is tested.`
		7006
		7007	`* Packaging Directives`
		7008	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		7009	`such as LMOS.`
		7010
		7011	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7012

		7021	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7022
		7023	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7024
		7025	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7026	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7027
		7028	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7029	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7030
		7031	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7032	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7033
		7034	`Minor changes:`
		7035	`* Script directive`

		7037	`These scripts are now always marked as executable.`
		7038
		7039	`* JATS environment`
		7040	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7041	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7042	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7043
		7044	`* Label utility`
		7045	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7046	`There are three modes of operation:`
		7047	`1) -nocheckout Checked out files are not labeled`
		7048	`2) -checkout Only checked out files are labeled`

		7062	`* AVR_IAR toolset`
		7063	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7064	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7065	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7066
		7067	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7068	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`

		7073	`--StripDir`
		7074
		7075	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7076	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7077	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7078	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7079
		7080	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7081	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7082
		7083	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7084	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7085
		7086	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7087	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7088
		7089
		7090	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7091	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`

		7115	`with deployment operations.`
		7116
		7117	`* Release utility`
		7118	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7119	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7120	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7121
		7122	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7123	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7124	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7125	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7126	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7127
		7128	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7129	`directives.`
		7130
		7131	`* MakeProject directive`
		7132	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7133	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7134
		7135	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7136	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7137	`is preserved.`

		7160	`* AddFlags directives`
		7161	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7162	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7163
		7164	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7165	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7166	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7167
		7168	`* Mug File Generation`
		7169	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7170
		7171	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7172	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7173	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7174	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7175	`directory.`
		7176
		7177	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7178	`reproducible.`

		7187	`longer a list of directories.`
		7188
		7189	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7190	`done within the toolset.`

		7207	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7208	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7209
		7210	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7211	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7212	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7213
		7214	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`
		7215	`Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests`
		7216	`Units tests will still be run by default.`

		7252	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7253
		7254	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7255	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`
		7256	`imported from the users environment as the environment is`
		7257	`indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are`
		7258	`installed on the machine.`
		7259
		7260	`* WINCE Targets`
		7261	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		7278
		7279	`* UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)`
		7280	`Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to`

		7284
		7285	`Minor changes:`
		7286	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7287	`New sub-options to filename generation commands`

		7341	`Minor changes:`
		7342	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7343	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`

		7346
		7347	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7348	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7376
		7377	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7378	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`

		7417	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7418	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`
		7419	`created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used`
		7420	`by the package to be accessed.`
		7421
		7422	`The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the`
		7423	`application or visual studio.`

		7466	`Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to`
		7467	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`

		7470	`in a known directory structure within the sandbox.`
		7471
		7472	`* WINCE and WIN32 Toolset`

		7498	`Multiple platforms should be specified as:`

		7500	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7501	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`
		7502	`was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest`
		7503	`solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.`
		7504
		7505	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7506	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`
		7507	`embedded brackets. Now allow`

		7526	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		7527	`other components.`

		7557	`production.`
		7558

		7582	`The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not`

		7712	`Minor changes:`
		7713	`* Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate`
		7714	`a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats`
		7715	`directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.`
		7716
		7717	`* WCEX86A420 toolset`
		7718	`Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:`

		7723	`Version: JATS_2.24.0 Released: 21-Apr-05`
		7724	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7725	`Major changes:`
		7726	`* PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]`
		7727	`option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug`
		7728	`or all.`
		7729
		7730	`This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with`
		7731	`the library or program.`
		7732
		7733	`Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );`
		7734
		7735	`Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub`
		7736	`library or any debug files.`
		7737
		7738	`* GenerateFiles`
		7739	`All processed arguments now support two options.`
		7740
		7741	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)`
		7742	`directory in which the prereq file is found`
		7743
		7744	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)`
		7745	`The filename of the prereq file`
		7746
		7747	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		7748	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		7749	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		7750
		7751
		7752	`Minor changes:`
		7753	`* create_dpkg utility`
		7754	`Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow`
		7755	`utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that`
		7756	`the package has been altered.`

		7778
		7779	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		7780
		7781	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		7782	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		7783	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		7784
		7785	`The change allows the construct`
		7786	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS`
		7787	`to be replaced by the simpler`
		7788	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS`

		7834	`ansi, but is often done.`
		7835
		7836	`* GCC toolset`
		7837	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`

		7839
		7840	`* jats "label"`
		7841	`The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not`

		7907
		7908	`* Jats wrapper`

		7911	`further commands.`
		7912
		7913	`Minor changes:`
		7914	`* WinCe and Win32 toolsets`
		7915	`Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the`

		7924	`NoPDB - Disable the generation of PDBs`
		7925	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`

		7950	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7951	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		7952	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7953	`Major changes:`
		7954	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		7955	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		7956	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		7957	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		7958	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		7959	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		7960	`installed.`
		7961
		7962	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		7963	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		7964
		7965	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		7966	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		7967
		7968	`Minor changes:`
		7969	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		7970	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		7971	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		7972
		7973	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		7974	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		7975	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		7976	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`

		7978	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7979	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`

		7981	`Major changes:`
		7982
		7983	`Minor changes:`
		7984	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		7985	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		7986	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		7987	`file.`
		7988
		7989	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		7990	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		7991
		7992	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		7993	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		7994	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		7995
		7996	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		7997	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		7998
		7999	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8000	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8001
		8002	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8003	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8004	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8005
		8006	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8007	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8008	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8009	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8010
		8011	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8012	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8013	`cleaned up.`
		8014
		8015	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8016	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8017
		8018	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8019	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`

		8024	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8025	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8026	`Major changes:`
		8027	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8028	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8029	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8030	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8031
		8032	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8033	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8034
		8035	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8036	`user.`
		8037
		8038	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8039	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8040	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8041
		8042	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8043	`for the -Gf option.`
		8044
		8045	`Minor changes:`
		8046	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8047	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8048
		8049	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8050	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8051	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8052	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8053
		8054	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8055	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8056	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8057	`Major changes:`
		8058	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8059	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8060
		8061	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8062	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8063	`data addresses for the board.`
		8064
		8065	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8066
		8067	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8068
		8069	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8070	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8071	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8072	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8073	`PackageFile`
		8074
		8075	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8076	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8077	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8078	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8079
		8080	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8081	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8082	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8083
		8084	`Minor changes:`
		8085
		8086	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8087	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8088	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8089
		8090	`* label utility`
		8091	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8092
		8093	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8094	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8095
		8096	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8097	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8098	`directory. ie:`
		8099
		8100	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8101
		8102	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8103	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8104	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`

		8106
		8107	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8108	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`

		8110	`Major changes:`
		8111	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8112
		8113	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8114	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8115
		8116	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8117	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8118	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8119	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8120
		8121	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8122	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8123	`compilation.`
		8124
		8125	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8126
		8127	`Minor changes:`
		8128	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8129	`one is being produced.`
		8130
		8131	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8132	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8133	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8134
		8135	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8136
		8137	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8138
		8139	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8140	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8141
		8142	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8143	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8144	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8145	`Major changes:`
		8146	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8147	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8148
		8149	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8150
		8151	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8152	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8153	`same directory`
		8154
		8155	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8156	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8157	`documenattion.`
		8158
		8159	`Minor changes:`
		8160	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8161	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8162
		8163	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8164	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8165
		8166	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8167	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8168
		8169	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8170	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8171
		8172	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8173	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8174	`be exempt from this test.`
		8175
		8176	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8177	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8178
		8179	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8180	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8181
		8182	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8183	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8184	`does.`
		8185
		8186	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8187	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8188
		8189
		8190	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8191	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8192	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8193	`Major changes:`
		8194	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8195
		8196	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8197	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8198	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8199	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8200	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8201
		8202	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8203	`operations.`
		8204
		8205	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8206
		8207	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8208
		8209	`Minor changes`
		8210	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8211	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8212
		8213	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8214	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8215	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8216
		8217	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8218	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8219
		8220	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8221	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8222	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8223
		8224	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8225	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8226	`specific flags.`
		8227
		8228	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8229
		8230	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8231	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8232	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8233
		8234	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8235	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8236	`JATS.`
		8237
		8238	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8239	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8240
		8241	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8242	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8243	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8244
		8245	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8246	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8247
		8248	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8249	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8250	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8251
		8252	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8253	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8254
		8255	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8256
		8257	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8258	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8259
		8260	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8261	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8262	`objects.`
		8263
		8264	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8265	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8266	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8267	`build defendants.`
