		2442	`Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs`

		2444
		2445	`This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat`
		2446	`Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.`
		2447
377	dpurdie	2448	`A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on`
		2449	`64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as`

375	dpurdie	2451

		2470	`Debug information is created for both production and debug builds`
		2471	`Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the`
		2472	`executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner`
		2473	`as the main binary.`
		2474
		2475	`This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while`
		2476	`retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded`
		2477	`device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the`
		2478	`debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of`
		2479	`both worlds.`

		2494	`* Jats Sandbox`
		2495	`Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of`
		2496	`the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one`
		2497	`machine architecture and consumed under another.`
		2498
		2499	`* RIORDS Platform`
		2500	`Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name`

		3201	`* Makefile directive helper function: If`
		3202	`Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the`
		3203	`outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in`

		3219
		3220	`* GCC Toolkit`
		3221	`Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline`
		3222	`with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some`
		3223	`libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at`
		3224	`the point of termination.`
		3225
		3226	`* Jats save_build utility`
		3227	`Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file`

		3229
		3230	`* Jats sandbox`

		3300	`* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds`
		3301	`All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)`
		3302	`This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared`

		3304
		3305	`* Solaris builds`
		3306	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`
		3307	`the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing`
		3308	`dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause`
		3309	`of the build failure.`
		3310

309	dpurdie	3429	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`

		3623	`Major changes:`
		3624	`* New Platform: DELPHI7`
		3625	`Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using`
		3626	`Borlands Delphi Version 7.`
		3627
		3628	`See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options`
		3629	`to the Prog and SharedLib directives.`
		3630
		3631	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3632	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3633	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3634	`names cannot be changed.`
		3635
		3636	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3637	`artifacts is very simplistic.`
		3638
		3639	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3640	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`
		3641	`ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );`
		3642	`Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'`
		3643
		3644	`Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk`
		3645	`file.`
		3646	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyPackage' );`
		3647	`will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file`
		3648	`MyPackage.dpk.`
		3649
		3650	`Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr`
		3651	`file.`
		3652	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3653	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`
		3654	`MyDll.dpr.`
		3655
		3656	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3657	`file.`
		3658	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3659	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`
		3660	`MyProg.dpr.`
		3661
		3662	`Minor changes:`
		3663	`* New EnvVar: DELPHI7`
		3664	`Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the`
		3665	`standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not`
		3666	`c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7`
		3667
		3668	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3669	`Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information`
		3670	`in a Delphi Unit.`
		3671
		3672	`Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.`
		3673	`If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files`
		3674	`will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will`
		3675	`'know' the location of the files.`
		3676
		3677	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3678	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`
		3679
		3680	`Internal Changes:`
		3681	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`
		3682	`Pass in the shared library version string as an argument`
		3683	`Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner`
		3684	`that is decoupled from the toolsets.`
		3685
		3686	`* Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries`
		3687	`merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets`
		3688	`and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.`

287	dpurdie	3700
289	dpurdie	3701	`NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order`

		3703	`Manager`
287	dpurdie	3704
		3705	`Minor changes:`
		3706	`* The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the`
		3707	`environment. This only affects the build daemons.`
		3708
		3709	`* updatenodespec utility`

		3711	`Manager database.`

277	dpurdie	3767
279	dpurdie	3768	`JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built`
		3769	`on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a`
		3770	`Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need`
281	dpurdie	3771	`not contain '!SOLARIS'`
279	dpurdie	3772
		3773	`This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not`

		3786	`Removed the '-delete' option`
		3787	`Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.`
		3788
277	dpurdie	3789	`Minor changes:`
279	dpurdie	3790	`* Sandbox command`
		3791	`Added build, make, clean, clobber commands`
		3792
		3793	`Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the`
		3794	`target from consideration in the build set.`
		3795
		3796	`* MCR Toolset`
		3797	`This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error`

		3799
		3800	`* WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets`
		3801	`The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.`

		3818	`This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if`
		3819	`it contains 'jar' files.`
		3820
		3821	`Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT`
		3822
		3823	`Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow`
		3824	`environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'`
		3825
		3826	`* BuildVersion directive`
		3827	`Form:`

		4479
		4480	`Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the`

		4724	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`

		4758	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		4759	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`

		4762	`process.`
		4763
		4764	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`

		4820	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		4821	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`

		4825	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		4826	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`

		4962	`Major changes:`
		4963
		4964	`Minor changes:`
		4965	`PackageLib directive`
		4966	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		4967	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		4968	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		4969
		4970	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		4971	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`
		4972	`and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.`
		4973
		4974	`Multiple Parent detection`
		4975	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`
		4976	`build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is`
		4977	`normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this`
		4978	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		4979
		4980	`Solaris Toolset`
		4981	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		4982	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		4983	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		4984	`link.`
		4985
		4986	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		4987	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		4988	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		4989
		4990	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		4991	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`

		4995	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4996	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		4997	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		4998	`Major changes:`
		4999	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		5000	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		5001	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		5002
		5003	`Summary of changes:`
		5004	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		5005	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		5006	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		5007	`flexibility.`
		5008
		5009	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		5010
		5011	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		5012	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		5013	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		5014
		5015	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		5016	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		5017	`than one second.`
		5018
		5019	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		5020	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		5021	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		5022	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		5023	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		5024	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		5025
		5026	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		5027	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		5028	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		5029
		5030	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5031	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5032	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5033	`building them.`
		5034
		5035	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5036	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5037	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5038	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5039
		5040	`- Quieter make output`
		5041	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5042
		5043
		5044	`Minor changes:`
		5045	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5046	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5047
		5048	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5049	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5050	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5051	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5052	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5053
		5054	`CSHARP toolset`
		5055	`Correctly detect missing compiler directories`

		5149	`Minor changes:`
		5150	`* Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path`
		5151	`Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.`
		5152
		5153	`Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new`

		5156
		5157	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`

		5182	`Major changes:`
		5183
		5184	`Minor changes:`
		5185	`* Solaris Toolset`

		5188
		5189	`* RunTest operation`

		5195	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5196	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5197	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5198	`Major changes:`
		5199	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5200
		5201	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5202	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5203	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5204	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5205	`path.`
		5206
		5207	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5208	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5209	`reproducible.`
		5210
		5211	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5212	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5213
		5214	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5215	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5216	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5217	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5218
		5219	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5220	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5221	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5222	`controlled separately.`
		5223
		5224	`Minor changes:`
		5225	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5226	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5227	`Remove duplicates`
		5228	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5229
		5230	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5231	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5232	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5233	`Major changes:`
		5234
		5235	`Minor changes:`
		5236	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5237	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5238	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5239
		5240	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5241	`x86 machine.`
		5242
		5243	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5244	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`

		5246	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5247	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5248	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5249	`Major changes:`
		5250	`* RunTest directive`
		5251	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5252	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5253	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5254
		5255	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5256	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5257	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5258	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5259
		5260	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5261	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5262
		5263	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5264	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5265
		5266	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5267	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5268	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5269
		5270	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5271	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5272
		5273	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5274	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5275	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5276
		5277	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5278	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5279	`P or D suffix.`
		5280	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5281	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5282
		5283	`Minor changes:`
		5284	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5285	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5286	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5287	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5288	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5289
		5290	`* Save Build Utility`
		5291	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5292	`used in a ripple build.`
		5293
		5294	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5295	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5296
		5297	`* Release Utility`
		5298	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5299	`when an error is encountered.`
		5300
		5301	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5302	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5303
		5304	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5305	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5306	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5307
		5308	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5309	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5310
		5311	`* TestProg directive`
		5312	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5313
		5314	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5315	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`
		5316

		5324
		5325	`These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.`
		5326	`DEVLINUX`
		5327	`LMOS_DEVLINUX`
		5328
		5329	`* Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]`

		5331	`transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.`
		5332
		5333	`Minor changes:`
		5334	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`
		5335	`To be used in JATS and JATS support tools`
		5336
		5337	`* tweaks to the C# toolset`
		5338	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5339
		5340	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5341	`and .cs files.`
		5342
		5343	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5344	`thing.`
		5345
		5346	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5347	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5348	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5349	`were it places temp files.`
		5350
		5351	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5352	`interaction with other builds.`
		5353
		5354	`* Release utility command`
		5355	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5356	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5357	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5406
		5407	`Minor changes:`
		5408	`* WINCE Support`
		5409	`Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.`
		5410
		5411	`* Removed the following targets`
		5412	`TP5600`
		5413	`TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5414	`TP5600_EMU`
		5415	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI`
		5416	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5417
		5418	`* Deployment`
		5419	`Simplify access to build information during deployment`
		5420
		5421	`* build.pl`
		5422	`Better error check on a packages version number.`
		5423
		5424	`The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather`
		5425	`than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.`
		5426
		5427	`* Tool: gen_msprojects`
		5428	`Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production`
		5429	`build.`
		5430
		5431	`Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod`
		5432
		5433	`* Tool: escrow`
		5434	`New features`
		5435	`Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but`
		5436	`are not in the SBOM.`
		5437
		5438	`Prune "patch" package versions.`

		5443	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5444	`Version: JATS_2.65.1 Released: 30-May-07`
		5445	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5446	`Major changes:`
		5447	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`
		5448	`through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce`
		5449	`the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.`
		5450
		5451	`* GenerateFiles`
		5452	`Added the options:`
		5453	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`
		5454	`the generated files are required. May be used`
		5455	`when the dependancies are too complex to`
		5456	`describe. ie: Entire directory tree.`
		5457
		5458	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`
		5459	`'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates`
		5460	`source files. Allows recipes to be run very`
		5461	`late. ie: when the dependent files are actually`
		5462	`required.`
		5463
		5464
		5465	`Minor changes:`
		5466	`* GenerateFile directive`
		5467	`Added --Var(BuildRoot)`
		5468
		5469	`* GCC Toolset`
		5470	`Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent`
		5471	`on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to`
		5472	`be rebuilt.`
		5473
		5474	`* MakeAnt and MakeProject directives`
		5475	`Preserve the order in which projects are built.`
		5476

		5478	`Version: JATS_2.65.0 Released: 16-May-07`
		5479	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5480	`Major changes:`
		5481	`* Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases`
		5482	`The database location, user and password have been made configurable via`
		5483	`environment variables.`
		5484
		5485	`Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being`
		5486	`moved.`
		5487
		5488	`This will affect users that:`
		5489	`1) Use tools that access RM or DM`
		5490	`Some tools that build deployable packages`
		5491
		5492	`2) Use the ABT system`
		5493	`The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide`
		5494	`the required configuration`
		5495
		5496	`If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on`
		5497	`the build machine then you will need to add the following environment`
		5498	`definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.`
		5499	`Windows`
		5500	`set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM`

		5521	`LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32`
		5522
		5523	`Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms`
		5524	`of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future`
		5525	`release.`
		5526
		5527	`The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to`
		5528	`LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU`
		5529
		5530	`The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages`
		5531	`need to be converted.`
		5532
		5533	`* Building Linux Device Drivers`
		5534	`The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.`
		5535	`Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide`
		5536	`the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be`
		5537	`used for different targets platforms.`

		5551	`Major changes:`
		5552	`* MakeAnt directive`
		5553	`Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.`
		5554
		5555	`New options`
		5556	`--AutoTest=<target> # Run as Automated unit test`
		5557	`--UnitTest=<target> # Run as Unit test`
		5558
		5559	`This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the`

		5561
		5562	`* Sandbox support`
		5563	`Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox`

		5565
		5566	`Minor changes:`
		5567	`* jats build`
		5568	`Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of`
		5569	`platforms that will be 'built'.`
		5570
		5571	`This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		5572
		5573	`This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is`

		5581	`Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that`
		5582	`the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both`

		5584
		5585	`* jats label`
		5586	`Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB`

		5595	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5596
		5597	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`
		5598	`supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to`
		5599	`describe the group of platforms.`
		5600
		5601	`LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5602	`These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to`
		5603	`build these targets.`
		5604
		5605	`The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,`
		5606	`where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.`
		5607
		5608	`The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,`
		5609	`where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.`
		5610
		5611	`* New build platform: WINCE`
		5612	`This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.`
		5613	`Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for`
		5614	`consumption on all WINCE machines.`
		5615
		5616	`The current list of WINCE targets is:`
		5617	`WCEIT3000`

		5626	`WCEX86A500_SOM4455`
		5627
		5628	`The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.`
		5629
		5630	`* JATS makefile.pl`
		5631	`The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles`
		5632	`that contain packaging directives.`
		5633
		5634	`There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in`
		5635	`very unusual configurations.`
		5636
		5637	`Minor changes:`
		5638	`* Directive: PackageFile`
		5639	`Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming`
		5640	`conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain`
		5641	`an '='.`
		5642
		5643	`Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead`
		5644	`of "--Subdir=etc".`
		5645
		5646	`* JATS Internal utility: cmdfile`
		5647	`Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that`
		5648	`provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.`
		5649
		5650	`This version will display the library search path with one item per line,`
		5651	`rather than all items on one, very long, line.`
		5652
		5653	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5654	`Version: JATS_2.63.0 Released: 5-Apr-07`
		5655	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5656	`Major changes:`
		5657
		5658	`* JATS release command`
		5659	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5660	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5661
		5662	`Rules are:`
		5663	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5664	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5665	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5666	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5667	`New directory will branch`
		5668
		5669	`Minor changes:`
		5670	`* JATS release command`
		5671	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5672	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5673
		5674	`* JATS label command`
		5675	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5676	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5677
		5678	`* JATS make`
		5679	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		5680	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		5681	`was re-packaged.`
		5682
		5683	`* JATS escrow`
		5684	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		5685	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		5686
		5687	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		5688	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		5689	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		5690
		5691	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		5692	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		5693	`interface directory.`
		5694
		5695	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		5696	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		5697	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		5698	`directory as seen by the package.`
		5699
		5700	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		5701
		5702	`* JAVA 6`
		5703	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		5704	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		5705
		5706	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		5707	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		5708
		5709	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		5710
		5711	`* Jats command: vars`
		5712	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		5713	`These indicate potential problems.`
		5714
		5715	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5716	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		5717	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5718	`Major changes:`
		5719	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		5720	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		5721	`libarry is also created.`
		5722
		5723	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		5724	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		5725	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		5726	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		5727	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		5728	`information contained within the file.`
		5729
		5730	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		5731	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		5732
		5733	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		5734	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		5735
		5736	`* Building Perl Modules`
		5737	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		5738	`documentation on the build machine.`
		5739
		5740	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		5741
		5742	`Minor changes:`
		5743	`* jats create_dpkg`
		5744	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		5745	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		5746
		5747	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5748	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		5749	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5750	`Major changes:`
		5751	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		5752	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		5753	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		5754
		5755	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		5756	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		5757	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		5758	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		5759
		5760	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		5761	`build.pl file.`
		5762
		5763	`Minor changes:`
		5764	`* jats release`
		5765	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		5766	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		5767	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		5768
		5769	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		5770	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		5771	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		5772	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		5773	`the name of the view.`
		5774
		5775	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5776	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		5777
		5778	`* MOS Toolset`
		5779	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		5780	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		5781	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		5782
		5783	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`

		5789	`Major changes:`
		5790
		5791	`Minor changes:`
		5792	`* JATS environment`
		5793	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		5794	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		5795	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		5796
		5797	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		5798
		5799	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		5800	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		5801	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		5802	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		5803	`to be packaged.`
		5804
		5805	`* Generated makefiles`
		5806	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		5807
		5808	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		5809	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		5810	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		5811	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		5812
		5813	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		5814
		5815	`* JATS release`
		5816	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		5817
		5818	`* JATS extract`
		5819	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		5820
		5821	`* JATS Toolset`
		5822	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		5823	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		5824
		5825
		5826	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`

		5828	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5829	`Major changes:`
		5830
		5831	`Minor changes:`
		5832	`* jats label`
		5833	`Added a -vob=name option`
		5834	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		5835	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		5836	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		5837	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		5838
		5839	`Added a -user=name option`
		5840	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		5841	`label to the named user.`
		5842
		5843	`* jats release`
		5844	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		5845	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		5846
		5847	`* JATS build.pl`
		5848	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		5849	`ie:`
		5850	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`

		5853	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5854	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		5855	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5856	`Major changes:`
		5857	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		5858	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		5859	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		5860	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		5861	`--Var(BuildName)`
		5862	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		5863	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		5864
		5865	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		5866
		5867	`* GenerateFiles`
		5868	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		5869	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		5870
		5871	`* BuildPlatforms`
		5872	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		5873
		5874	`Minor changes:`
		5875	`* GCC Toolset`
		5876	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		5877
		5878	`Internal changes:`
		5879	`* GenerateFiles`
		5880	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		5881
		5882	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		5883	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		5884
		5885
		5886	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5887	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		5888	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5889	`Major changes:`
		5890	`* Caching JATS`
		5891	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		5892	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		5893
		5894	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		5895	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		5896	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		5897
		5898	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		5899	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		5900	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		5901
		5902	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		5903
		5904	`Minor changes:`
		5905	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		5906	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		5907	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		5908
		5909	`* jats build`
		5910	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		5911	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		5912	`processed by the build.`
		5913
		5914	`* jats build`
		5915	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		5916	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		5917	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		5918	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		5919	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		5920
		5921	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		5922	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		5923	`Path is not specified.`
		5924
		5925	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		5926	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		5927	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		5928	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		5929	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		5930
		5931	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		5932	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		5933	`Windows platform.`
		5934
		5935	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		5936	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		5937	`by 'purecov.`
		5938
		5939	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5940	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		5941
		5942	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		5943	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		5944	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		5945	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		5951	`Major changes:`
		5952	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		5953	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		5954	`Example:`
		5955	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		5956	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		5957	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		5958
		5959	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		5960	`been determined.`
		5961
		5962	`Minor changes:`
		5963	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		5964	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		5965	`located at build-time.`
		5966
		5967	`* Unix based systems`
		5968	`If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be`
		5969	`generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.`
		5970
		5971	`* MakeLinuxDriver`
		5972	`Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the`
		5973	`driver being built.`

		6004
		6005	`GenerateFiles.`
		6006	`Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does`

		6020	`the option can apply to all programs being built.`
		6021
		6022	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' ); - Generate static programs`
		6023	`CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' ); - Default`

		6055	`Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset`
		6056	Removed the use of `uname`.

		6222	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6223
		6224	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6225	`SOLARIS`
		6226	`WIN32`
		6227
		6228	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6229	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6230	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6231	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6232	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6233	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6234
		6235	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6236	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`

		6246	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6247	`location`
		6248
		6249	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6250	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6251
		6252	`* Utility genrc`
		6253	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6254
		6255	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6256	`Added option: -new`
		6257	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6258	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6259	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6260
		6261	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6262	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6263	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6264
		6265	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6266	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6267	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6268
		6269	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6270	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6271
		6272
		6273	`Internal Changes:`
		6274	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6275	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6276
		6277	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6278	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6279	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6280
		6281	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6282	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6283	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6284
		6285	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6286	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6287	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6288
		6289	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6290	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6291	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6292	`needed.`
		6293
		6294	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6295	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6296	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6297	`files from all of these.`

		6305	`* WinCE toolset`
		6306	`Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan`
		6307
		6308	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6309	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6310	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6311	`Major changes:`
		6312	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6313	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6314	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6315
		6316	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6317
		6318	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6319	`the operations.`
		6320
		6321	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6322
		6323	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6324	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6325
		6326	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6327
		6328	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6329	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6330
		6331	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6332	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6333	`Extended the built-in help`
		6334	`Added useful error messages`
		6335	`Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism`
		6336
		6337	`* WinCE toolset`
		6338	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6339
		6340	`* M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware`
		6341	`Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files`
		6342	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6343
		6344	`Minor changes:`
		6345	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6346	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6347	`the command line.`
		6348
		6349	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6350	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6351	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6352
		6353	`Internal Changes:`
		6354	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6355	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6356	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6357	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6358	`level.`
		6359
		6360	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6361	`displayed.`
		6362
		6363	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6364
		6365	`* Added JatsSystem module`
		6366	`Common code for accessing system commands`
		6367	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6368	`Version: JATS_2.54.3 Released: 17-Jul-06`

		6370	`Major changes:`
		6371
		6372	`Minor changes:`
		6373	`* BR Compiler toolset`
		6374	`Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows`
		6375	`.def files to include other files.`
		6376
		6377	`* IAR toolset`
		6378	`Added AT7272 support`
		6379
		6380	`* Tool: jats_manifest`
		6381	`Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms`
		6382
		6383	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6384	`Version: JATS_2.54.2 Released: 12-Jul-06`
		6385	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6386	`Major changes:`
		6387
		6388	`Minor changes:`
		6389	`* BR Compiler toolset`
		6390	`Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in`
		6391	`use.`
		6392
		6393
		6394	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6395	`Version: JATS_2.54.1 Released: 29-Jun-06`
		6396	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6397	`Major changes:`
		6398
		6399	`Minor changes:`
		6400	`* Mictotec toolset`
		6401	`Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production`
		6402	`builds.`
		6403
		6404	`* JATS Core`
		6405	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`
		6406	`auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their`
		6407	`behaviour.`
		6408
		6409	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6410	`Version: JATS_2.54.0 Released: 22-Jun-06`
		6411	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6412	`Major changes:`
		6413	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6414	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6415
		6416	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6417	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6418
		6419	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6420
		6421	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6422	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6423	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6424	`packages.`
		6425
		6426	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6427	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6428	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6429
		6430	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6431	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6432
		6433	`Minor changes:`
		6434	`* SubDir directive`
		6435	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6436	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6437
		6438	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6439	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6440	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6441	`of the file usage.`
		6442
		6443	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6444	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6445	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6446
		6447	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6448	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6449	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6450
		6451	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6452	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6453	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6454	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6455
		6456
		6457	`Internal Changes:`
		6458	`* Code refactor`
		6459	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6460
		6461	`* Deployment utilities`
		6462	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6463	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6464	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6465	`the module can locate the file.`
		6466
		6467	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6468	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6469
		6470	`* JATS core`
		6471	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6472
		6473	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6474
		6475	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6476	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6477	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6478
		6479	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6480	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6481
		6482	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6483	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6484	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6485	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6486
		6487	`* Make environment`
		6488	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6489	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		6490
		6491
		6492	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6493	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		6494	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6495	`Major changes:`
		6496	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		6497	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		6498
		6499
		6500	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6501	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		6502	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6503
		6504	`Not Released.`
		6505	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		6506	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		6507
		6508
		6509	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6510	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6511	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6512	`Major changes:`
		6513	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6514	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6515	`radically replaced.`
		6516
		6517	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6518	`Usage:`
		6519	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6520
		6521	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6522	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6523	`this solution:`
		6524	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6525	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6526	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6527	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6528
		6529	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6530	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6531	`order to work.`
		6532
		6533	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6534	`reduced functionality.`
		6535
		6536
		6537	`Minor changes:`
		6538	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6539	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6540	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6541
		6542	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6543	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6544	`within the makefiles.`
		6545	`Options:`
		6546	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6547	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6548	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6549	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6550	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6551	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6552	`Useage:`
		6553
		6554	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6555	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6556
		6557	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6558	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6559	`is not in the current directory.`
		6560
		6561	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6562	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6563	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6564
		6565	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6566
		6567	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6568	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6569	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6570	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6571
		6572	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6573	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6574	`Thus`
		6575
		6576	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6577
		6578	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6579

		6581	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6582	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6583	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6584	`Major changes:`
		6585
		6586	`Minor changes:`
		6587	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6588	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6589	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6590	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6591	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6592
		6593	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6594	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6595	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6596
		6597	`Internal changes:`
		6598	`* JATS toolsets`
		6599	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6600	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6601	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6602
		6603	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6604	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6605
		6606	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6607	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6608	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6609	`Major changes:`
		6610	`* Jats command: etool`
		6611	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6612	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6613
		6614	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6615	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6616	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6617	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6618	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6619	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6620
		6621	`Minor changes:`
		6622
		6623
		6624	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6625	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6626	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6627	`Major changes:`
		6628	`* JATS environment variables`
		6629	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6630	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6631	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6632	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6633	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6634
		6635	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6636	`Remote repository`
		6637
		6638	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6639	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6640	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6641
		6642	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6643	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6644	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6645	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6646	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6647
		6648	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6649	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6650
		6651
		6652	`Minor changes:`
		6653	`* JATS utility: build`
		6654	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6655	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6656	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6657
		6658	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6659	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6660	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6661	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6662
		6663	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6664	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6665	`to a specific type of build.`
		6666
		6667	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6668	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6669	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6670	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6671
		6672	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6673	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6674	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6675
		6676	`* JATS utility: release`
		6677	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6678	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6679
		6680	`* JATS utility: label`
		6681	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		6682	`when it is being created.`
		6683
		6684	`Internal Changes`
		6685	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		6686	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		6687
		6688	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		6689	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		6690
		6691	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		6692	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		6693	`different results.`
		6694
		6695	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		6696	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		6697	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		6698
		6699	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6700	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`
		6701	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6702	`Major changes:`
		6703
		6704	`* MCR toolset`
		6705	`Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files`
		6706
		6707	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6708	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		6709	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6710	`Major changes:`
		6711	`* WIN32 utilities`
		6712	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		6713	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		6714
		6715	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		6716	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		6717	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		6718
		6719	`Minor changes:`
		6720	`* BuildVersion`
		6721	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		6722	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		6723	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		6724
		6725	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		6726
		6727	`* Unix Builds`
		6728	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		6729	`library or a shared library.`
		6730
		6731	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		6732	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		6733	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		6734	`start with 'lib'.`
		6735
		6736	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		6737	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		6738	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		6739	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		6740
		6741	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6742	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		6743	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6744	`Major changes:`
		6745	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6746	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		6747	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		6748	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		6749	`being manually maintained.`
		6750
		6751
		6752	`Minor changes:`
		6753	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6754	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		6755	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		6756	`supports ANT builds.`
		6757
		6758	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6759	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		6760	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		6761
		6762	`* Label utility`
		6763	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		6764	`files to be labeled.`
		6765
		6766	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		6767	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		6768	`on Solaris.`
		6769
		6770	`* Generated makefiles`
		6771	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		6772	`nothing.`
		6773
		6774	`* MOS Toolset`
		6775	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		6776	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		6777	`modules.`
		6778
		6779	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		6780	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		6781	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		6782
		6783	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`

		6789	`Version: JATS_2.48.0 Released: 24-Jan-06`
		6790	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6791	`Major changes:`
		6792	`None`
		6793
		6794	`Minor changes:`
		6795	`* DEVI addressed`
		6796	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	6797	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	6798
		6799	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		6800	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		6801	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		6802
		6803	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		6804
		6805	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		6806	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		6807
		6808	`* RunTest directive`
		6809	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		6810	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		6811	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		6812
		6813	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		6814	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		6815	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		6816	`packaged under JATS`
		6817
		6818	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		6819	`supported within JATS.`
		6820
		6821	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6822	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		6823	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		6824
		6825	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		6826	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		6827	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		6828
		6829	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		6830	`Eg: jats ant`
		6831
		6832	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6833	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		6834
5710	dpurdie	6835	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	6836	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		6837	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		6838	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		6839	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		6840
5710	dpurdie	6841	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	6842	`expect a build.pl file.`
		6843
		6844	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		6845	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		6846
		6847	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`
		6848	`Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within`
		6849	`the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.`
		6850
		6851	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		6852	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		6853
		6854	`* Build files`
		6855	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	6856	`VIX extensions.`
227	dpurdie	6857
		6858	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6859	`Version: JATS_2.47.0 Released: 20-Dec-05`
		6860	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6861	`Major changes:`
		6862	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		6863	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		6864	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		6865	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`
		6866
		6867	`This may cause module validation to fail.`
		6868
		6869	`Minor changes:`
		6870	`* None`
		6871
		6872	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6873	`Version: JATS_2.46.0 Released: 08-Dec-05`
		6874	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6875	`Major changes:`
		6876	`* BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives`
		6877	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		6878	`ie:`
		6879	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		6880
		6881	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		6882	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		6883	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		6884	`environments are compatible.`
		6885
		6886
		6887	`Minor changes:`
		6888	`* BuildName option`
		6889	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	6890	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	6891
		6892	`* jats.bat`
		6893	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		6894	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`
		6895
		6896	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6897	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		6898	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6899	`Major changes:`
		6900	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		6901	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		6902	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		6903	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		6904
		6905	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		6906	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		6907	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		6908
		6909	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		6910	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		6911	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		6912
		6913	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		6914	`transferred.`
		6915
		6916	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		6917	`See notes below.`
		6918
		6919	`* WIN32 toolset`
		6920	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		6921	`correctly.`
		6922
		6923	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		6924	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		6925
		6926	`* BuildVersion`
		6927	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		6928	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		6929	`other langauges as needed.`
		6930
		6931
		6932	`Minor changes:`
		6933	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		6934	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		6935	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		6936	`version strings.`
		6937
		6938	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6939	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		6940	`package or an imported package.`
		6941
		6942	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		6943	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		6944	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		6945
		6946	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		6947	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		6948	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		6949	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		6950	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		6951
		6952	`Internal Changes`
		6953	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		6954	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		6955	`of utilities.`
		6956
		6957	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		6958	`functions.`
		6959
		6960	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6961	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		6962	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6963	`Major changes:`
		6964	`* Generated makefiles`
		6965	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		6966	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		6967	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		6968
		6969	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		6970	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		6971	`incorrectly processing:`
		6972	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		6973	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		6974	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		6975	`confused.`
		6976
		6977	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		6978	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		6979	`The construct`
		6980	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		6981	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		6982	`then it works.`
		6983
		6984	`* MakeAnt directive`
		6985	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		6986
		6987	`This option has the following effects`
		6988	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		6989	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		6990
		6991	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		6992	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		6993
		6994	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		6995	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		6996
		6997
		6998	`Minor changes:`
		6999	`* JATS post-installation script`
		7000	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		7001
		7002	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		7003	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		7004	`windows.`
		7005
		7006	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		7007	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		7008
		7009	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7010	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		7011	`1) Contain spaces`
		7012	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		7013
		7014	`* Toolset`
		7015	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		7016
		7017	`* JAVA toolset`
		7018	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		7019	`directive:`
		7020
		7021	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		7022
		7023	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		7024	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		7025	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		7026
		7027	`* GCC Toolset`
		7028	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		7029
		7030	`* Makefile generation`
		7031	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7032	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7033	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7034	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7035	`package could not be used.`
		7036
		7037	`* Unit Tests`
		7038	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7039
		7040	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7041	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7042
		7043	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7044	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7045
		7046	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7047
		7048	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7049

		7054	`Major changes:`
		7055	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7056
		7057	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7058	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7059	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7060	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7061
		7062	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7063	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7064	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7065	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7066
		7067	`--Ref=name`
		7068	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7069	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7070	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7071	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7072
		7073	`Minor changes:`
		7074	`* MOS Toolset`
		7075	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7076	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7077	`packaged.`
		7078
		7079	`* Src directive`
		7080	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7081	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7082	`specifier.`
		7083
		7084	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7085	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7086	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7087	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7088
		7089	`Internal:`
		7090	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7091	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7092	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`

		7099	`Added options.`
		7100	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7101	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7102	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7103	`targets.`
		7104	`Eg:`
		7105	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7106	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7107	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7108
		7109	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7110	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7111	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7112
		7113	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7114	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7115	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7116
		7117
		7118	`Minor changes:`
		7119	`* Label utility`

		7127	`--FilterIn option.`
		7128
		7129	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7130	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7131	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7132
		7133	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7134	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7135	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7136	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`

		7143	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7144	`Additional options`
		7145	`--CopyIn=file`
		7146	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7147	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7148	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7149	`the test area.`
		7150
		7151	`Additional operations`
		7152	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7153	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`

		7235	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7236	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7237	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7238
		7239	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7240	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7241
		7242	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7243	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7244
		7245	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7246	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7247
		7248
		7249	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7250	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7251	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7252	`Major changes:`
		7253	`* Make commands`
		7254	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7255
		7256	`The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools`
		7257	`sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter`
		7258
		7259	`* Label utility`
		7260	`Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.`
		7261	`Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.`
		7262
		7263	`Minor changes:`
		7264	`* Toolsets`
		7265	`Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable`
		7266	`variables and overrides.`
		7267
		7268	`The make_init target is always run.`
		7269	`This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide`
		7270	`compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.`
		7271
		7272	`* Deployment`
		7273	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7274	`with deployment operations.`
		7275
		7276	`* Release utility`
		7277	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7278	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7279	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7280
		7281	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7282	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7283	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7284	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7285	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7286
		7287	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7288	`directives.`
		7289
		7290	`* MakeProject directive`
		7291	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7292	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7293
		7294	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7295	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7296	`is preserved.`
		7297
		7298	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7299	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7300	`statements.`
		7301
		7302	`* Mugfile generation`
		7303	`Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to`
		7304	`be placed in the target package.`

		7314
		7315	`The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build`
		7316	`number.`
		7317
		7318	`Minor changes:`
		7319	`* AddFlags directives`
		7320	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7321	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7322
		7323	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7324	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7325	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7326
		7327	`* Mug File Generation`
		7328	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7329
		7330	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7331	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7332	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7333	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7334	`directory.`
		7335
		7336	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7337	`reproducible.`
		7338
		7339	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7340	`Version: JATS_2.37.0 Released: 22-Aug-05`

		7346	`longer a list of directories.`
		7347
		7348	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7349	`done within the toolset.`

		7355	`GBE_DPKG - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive`
		7356	`Previously was a list that included the`
		7357	`dpkg_archive cache.`
		7358
		7359	`New variable`
		7360	`GBE_DPKG_CACHE - Optional directory for a local cache of`

		7365	`* Utility: gen_packagelist`
		7366	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7367	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7368
		7369	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7370	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7371	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7372
		7373	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`
		7374	`Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests`
		7375	`Units tests will still be run by default.`
		7376

		7385	`structure.`
		7386
		7387	`* makefile.pl's`
		7388	`GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools`
		7389	`to be generated within the same script. Example:`
		7390
		7391	`Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );`
		7392	`GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",`
		7393	`'--Prereq(infile)',`

		7395
		7396	`RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can`
		7397	`be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These`
		7398	`tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will`
		7399	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7400	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7401	`-- Auto.`
		7402
		7403	`* Added a new make target: run_unit_tests`
		7404	`This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive`
		7405	`unit tests within an automated framework.`
		7406
		7407	`* Make run_test and run_unit_test operation`
		7408	`The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to`
		7409	`include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well`
		7410	`as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to`
		7411	`locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.`
		7412
		7413	`* WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6`
		7414	`The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer`
		7415	`imported from the users environment as the environment is`
		7416	`indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are`
		7417	`installed on the machine.`
		7418
		7419	`* WINCE Targets`
		7420	`The name of the SDK is case sensitive.`

		7432	`and installed packages.`
		7433
		7434	`* Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the`
		7435	`generation of debug information so that the linker does not`
		7436	`create CV style debug information in the target.`
		7437
		7438	`* UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)`
		7439	`Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to`
		7440	`interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into`
		7441	`the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being`
		7442	`searched when looking for libraries.`
		7443
		7444	`Minor changes:`
		7445	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7446	`New sub-options to filename generation commands`
		7447	`--abspath - provide the named file with an absolute path`
		7448	`--absdrive - provide the named file with an absolute path`
		7449	`and drive letter`
		7450
		7451	`* Src directive`
		7452	`Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root`
		7453	`directory of a package.`
		7454
		7455	`Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );`
		7456
		7457	`Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is`

		7468	`Major changes:`
		7469	`* SunWorks production builds`
		7470	`Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler`
		7471	`optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:`
		7472	`cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld`
		7473	`The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the`
		7474	`compiler documentation.`

		7481
		7482	`Minor changes:`
		7483	`* Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under`
		7484	`windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.`
		7485	`This should not affect current users.`
		7486
		7487	`* Mugfile generation`
		7488	`Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be`
		7489	`specified.`
		7490	`"--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"`

		7499
		7500	`Minor changes:`
		7501	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7502	`Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe`
		7503	`scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes`
		7504	`that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.`
		7505
		7506	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive`
		7507	`Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft`

		7535
		7536	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7537	`Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of`
		7538	`ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in`
		7539	`conjunction with the JAVA target`

		7576	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7577	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`
		7578	`created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used`
		7579	`by the package to be accessed.`
		7580
		7581	`The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the`
		7582	`application or visual studio.`

		7625	`Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to`
		7626	`force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as`
		7627	`BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of`
		7628	`sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed`
		7629	`in a known directory structure within the sandbox.`
		7630
		7631	`* WINCE and WIN32 Toolset`
		7632	`Options for Program and Shared Library construction`

		7649	`of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc`
		7650
		7651	`* MugFile generation`
		7652	`Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be`

		7657	`Multiple platforms should be specified as:`
		7658	`Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );`
		7659	`with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace`
		7660	`If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what`
		7661	`was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest`
		7662	`solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.`
		7663
		7664	`* GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl`
		7665	`Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for`
		7666	`embedded brackets. Now allow`

		7685	`to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by`
		7686	`other components.`
		7687
		7688	`Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.`
		7689

		7727
		7728	`* New utility - jats_save_build.pl`

		7819	`corrected.`
		7820
		7821	`* JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate`

		7854	`* Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.`
		7855	`The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward`

		7857	`SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.`
		7858
		7859	`* Preliminary Support`
		7860	`Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are`

		7867
		7868	`These options limit processing to either Production or Debug`
		7869	`building. The default build will build both.`
		7870
		7871	`Minor changes:`
		7872	`* Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate`

		7904	`The filename of the prereq file`
		7905
		7906	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		7907	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		7908	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		7909
		7910
		7911	`Minor changes:`
		7912	`* create_dpkg utility`

		8112	`Major changes:`
		8113	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		8114	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`

		8164
		8165	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8166	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`

		8168	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8169
		8170	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8171	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8172	`cleaned up.`
		8173
		8174	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8175	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8176
		8177	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8178	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`
		8179	`with either " or ' characters.`
		8180
		8181
		8182	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8183	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8184	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8185	`Major changes:`
		8186	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8187	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8188	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8189	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8190
		8191	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8192	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8193
		8194	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8195	`user.`
		8196
		8197	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8198	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8199	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8200
		8201	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8202	`for the -Gf option.`
		8203
		8204	`Minor changes:`
		8205	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8206	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8207
		8208	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8209	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8210	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8211	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8212
		8213	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8214	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8215	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8216	`Major changes:`
		8217	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8218	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8219
		8220	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8221	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8222	`data addresses for the board.`
		8223
		8224	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8225
		8226	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8227
		8228	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8229	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8230	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8231	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8232	`PackageFile`
		8233
		8234	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8235	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8236	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8237	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8238
		8239	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8240	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8241	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8242
		8243	`Minor changes:`
		8244
		8245	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8246	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8247	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8248
		8249	`* label utility`
		8250	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8251
		8252	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8253	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8254
		8255	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8256	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8257	`directory. ie:`
		8258
		8259	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8260
		8261	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8262	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8263	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`
		8264
		8265
		8266	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8267	`Version: JATS_2.9.0 Released: 28-Feb-05`
		8268	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8269	`Major changes:`
		8270	`* First release for Back Office and Front Office use.`
		8271
		8272	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8273	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8274
		8275	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8276	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8277	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8278	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8279
		8280	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8281	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8282	`compilation.`
		8283
		8284	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8285
		8286	`Minor changes:`
		8287	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8288	`one is being produced.`
		8289
		8290	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8291	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8292	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8293
		8294	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8295
		8296	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8297
		8298	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8299	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`
		8300
		8301	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8302	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8303	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8304	`Major changes:`
		8305	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8306	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8307
		8308	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8309
		8310	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8311	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8312	`same directory`
		8313
		8314	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8315	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8316	`documenattion.`
		8317
		8318	`Minor changes:`
		8319	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8320	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8321
		8322	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8323	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8324
		8325	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8326	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8327
		8328	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8329	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8330
		8331	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8332	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8333	`be exempt from this test.`
		8334
		8335	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8336	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8337
		8338	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8339	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8340
		8341	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8342	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8343	`does.`
		8344
		8345	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8346	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8347
		8348
		8349	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8350	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8351	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8352	`Major changes:`
		8353	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8354
		8355	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8356	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8357	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8358	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8359	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8360
		8361	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8362	`operations.`
		8363
		8364	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8365
		8366	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8367
		8368	`Minor changes`
		8369	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8370	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8371
		8372	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8373	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8374	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8375
		8376	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8377	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8378
		8379	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8380	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8381	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8382
		8383	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8384	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8385	`specific flags.`
		8386
		8387	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8388
		8389	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8390	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8391	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8392
		8393	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8394	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8395	`JATS.`
		8396
		8397	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8398	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8399
		8400	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8401	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8402	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8403
		8404	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8405	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8406
		8407	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8408	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8409	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8410
		8411	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8412	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8413
		8414	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8415
		8416	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8417	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8418
		8419	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8420	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8421	`objects.`
		8422
		8423	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8424	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8425	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8426	`build defendants.`
