Minor changes:
494
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
495
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
496
 
497
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
498
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
499
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
500
      build errors.
501
 
502
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
503
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
504
 
505
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
506
      Shorthand for
507
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
508
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
509
 
510
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
511
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
512
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
513
      Examples: 
514
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
515
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
516
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
517
 
518
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
519
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
520
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
521
 
522
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
523
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
524
      build system.
525
 
526
Experimental:
527
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
528
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
529
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
535
 
536
Minor changes:
537
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
538
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
539
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
540
 
541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
542
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
543
------------------------------------------------------------------------
544
 
545
Minor changes:
546
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
547
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
548
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
549
 
550
    * Build Files
551
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
552
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
553
 
554
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
555
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
556
 
557
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
558
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
559
 
560
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
561
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
562
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
563
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
564
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
565
 
566
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
567
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
568
     different architectures.
569
 
570
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
571
     are directed to one or more machines.
572
 
573
     Intended uses:
574
        Windows: Creating installers. 
575
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
576
 
577
       All: Specialized packaging.
578
 
579
    * Makefiles
580
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
581
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
582
      Eg:
583
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
584
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
585
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
586
      It could also have been written as:
587
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
588
      but NOT as:
589
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
590
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
591
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
592
 
593
    * Utility: sandbox
594
      Subcommand info 
595
        - Added option to test fingerprints
596
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

601
 
602
Minor changes:
603
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
604
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
605
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
606
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
607
 
608
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
609
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
610
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
611
 
612
    * GenerateFiles directive
613
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

635
 
636
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
637
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
638
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
639
      machine may build the toolset.
640
 
641
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
642
      platform.

      the build system is split across multiple machines.
664
 
665
    * Utility: escrow
666
      Added -skim option
667
 
668
    * Utility: sandbox

671
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
672
 
673
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
674
 
675

      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
693
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
694
 
695
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
696
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

811
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
812
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
813
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
814
 
815
    * Make operations uninstall, unpackage and clobber
816
      Improved the deletion of files such that only files that exist will 
817
      be logged as deleted.

    * EnvVars
1602
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1603

1604
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1605
 
1606
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1607
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1608
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1609
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1610
 
1611
    * Jats caching
1612
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1613
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
1614
      up jats startup.

1637
Minor changes:
1638
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1639
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1640
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1641
 
1642
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1643
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1644
 
1645
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1646
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

1648
 
1649
    * Jats Internal: Database access

1831
      and the build daemons.
1832
 
1833
    * New JATS supported host machine type: linux_x86
1834
      This has been added to support auperaunx01 as a general developer machine
1835
      Currently there are no supported compilers for this machine. It is only
1836
      the JATS tool chain. It allows the processing of subversion related 
1837
      commands.

Minor changes:
1937
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
1938
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
1939
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
1940
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
1941
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
1942
 
1943
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
1944
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

1955
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
1956
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
1957
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh

1971
Major changes:
1972
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
1973
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
1974
      intended to build deployed software.
1975
 
1976
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
1977
      the DEVLINUX alias.
1978
 
1979
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
1980
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
1981
 
1982
Minor changes:
1983
    * Jats wrapper script
1984
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
1985
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
1986
      Subversion instance of the command.
1987
 
1988
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
1989
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
1990
 
1991
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
1992

1999
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2000
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2001
 
2002
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2003
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2004
 
2005
    * GCC Toolchain
2006
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
2023
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2024
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2025
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2026
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2027
 
2028
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2029
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

Minor changes:
2040
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2041
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2042
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2043
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2044
      line.
2045
 
2046
    * Jats Configuration

    * Jats Core
2063
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2064
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2065
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2066
 
2067
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2068
      Used only by the build daemons.
2069
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2070
 
2071
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract

2080
Minor changes:
2081
    * svnrelease utility
2082
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2083
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2084
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2085
 
2086
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2087
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2088
      the named tag.
2089
 
2090
    * svnrelease utility
2091
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch

      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2106
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.

    * ALL Toolsets
2110
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2111
 
2112
    * Utility vcsdiff
2113
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2114
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2115
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      directory of the tag.
2126
 
2127
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2128
      repository.
2129
 
2130
    * Subversion Support
2131
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2132
      showing the user what to do.
2133
 
2134
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2135
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2136
      we have build support for this target.
2137
 
2138
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2139
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.

    * Makefile generation
2163
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2164
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2165
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2166
      of warnings.
2167
 
2168
    * Makefile Generation
2169
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2178
Major changes:
2179
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2180
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2181
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2182
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2183
 
2184
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2185
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2186
      windows path scheme.
2187
 
2188
Minor changes:
2189
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2190
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2191
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2192
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2193
 
2194
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2195
        jats make clobber
2196
      This operates as before.
2197
 
2198
    * Utility: escrow
2199
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2200
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2201
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2202
 
2203
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2204
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2205
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2206
 
2207
    * Utility: svn : url
2208
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2209
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2210
 
2211
    * Utility: svn : import
2212
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2213
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.

      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2217
      showing the user what to do.
2218
 
2219
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2220
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2221
      repositories.

2226
 
2227
Minor changes:
2228
    * Jats build
2229
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2230
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2231
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2232
 
2233
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2234
      command, with a sandbox.

2259
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2260
                        The named branch must not exist
2261
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2262
                        The named branch must exist

2297
 
2298
Major changes:
2299
    * Jats Version Number
2300
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2301
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2302
      significantly.
2303
 
2304

Major changes:
2315
    * Subversion support

      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2317
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2318
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2319
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2320
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2321
 
2322
Minor changes:
2323
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2324
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2325
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2326
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2327
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2328
 
2329
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2330
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2331
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2332
 
2333
    * Linux support utilities
2334
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2335
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
2336

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2341
Major changes:
2342
    * Subversion Repository location
2343
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2344
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2345
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2346
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2347
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2348
 
2349
Minor changes:
2350
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2351
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2352
 
2353
    * Utility: svnrelease
2354
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2355
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2356
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2357
 
2358
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2359
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2360
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2361
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2362
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2363
 
2364
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2365
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2366
 
2367
    * Utility: sandbox
2368
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2369
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2370
 
2371
      Subcommand: populate
2372
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2373
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2374
      sandbox.
2375
 
2376
    * Subversion Support
2377
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2378
      repository is not supported.
2379
 
2380
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2381
      a progress indication.
2382
 
2383
    * Jats Online Documentation
2384
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2385
      online documentation.
2386
 
2387
    * Generated makefiles
2388
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2437
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2438
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2439
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2440
 
2441
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 2442
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2465
Major changes:
2466
 
2467
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2468
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2469
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2470
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2471
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2472
 
2473
    * C# Toolchain
2474
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

2484
 
2485
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2486
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2487
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2488
 
2489
    * Utility ccrelease
2490
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2491
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2492
 
2493
    * Utility: svn
2494
      Improved package import processing.
2495
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2523
Major changes:
2524
 
2525
Minor changes:
2526
    * Command: jats clobber
2527
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2528
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2529
 
2530
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2531
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2532
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2533
 
2534
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2535
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2536
 
377 dpurdie 2537
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2538
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2539
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2540
 
2541
    * jats svnlabel
2542
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2543
 
2544
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2545
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2546
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2547
 
2548
    * Built Daemon support
2549
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2550
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2551

2554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2555
Major changes:
2556
    * GCC Toolset
2557
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2558
      New methodology is:
2559
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2560
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2561
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2562
        as the main binary.
2563
 
2564
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2565
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2566
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2567
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2568
      both worlds.
2569
 
2570
Minor changes:
2571
    * HTML Documentation
2572
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2573
 
2574
Internal changes:
2575
    * Generated makefiles
2576
      Removed the make_usage target as it is inaccessible. It was replaced by
2577
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2582
Major changes:
2583
    * Jats Sandbox
2584
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2585
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2586
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2587
 
2588
    * RIORDS Platform

2703
 
2704
    * jats build -noforce
2705
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2706
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2707
      be forced.
2708
 
2709
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2710
 
2711
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2712
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2713
 
2714
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2715
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2716
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2717
 
2718
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2719
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2720
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2721
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.

2731
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2732
      installed and can be used.
2733
 
2734
    * Toolset: CSharp
2735
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2736
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2737
      character.
2738
 
2739
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2740
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2741
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2742
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2743
      masking an error.
2744
 
2745
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2746
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2747
      enhancement.

2756
 
2757
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2758
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2759
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.

2761
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2762
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2763
      packages.
2764
 
2765
    * make command: show
2766
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2767
      'jats make show' command.
2768
 
2769
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2770
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2771
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.

      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
2988
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
2989
      suffix in the library name.
2990
 
2991
    * GenerateFiles directive
2992
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
2993
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
2994
 
2995
    * BuildPlatform
2996
      New option: --NoToolSet
2997
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
2998
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
2999
 
3000
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3001
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3002
      need toolset specific information.
3003
 
3004
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3005
 
3006
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
3007
 
3008
Internal:
3009
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
3010
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
3011
      processing into jats.pl
3012
 
3013
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3014
      a ClearCase site.

    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3115
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3116
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3117
      resulting in multiple builds.
3118
 
3119
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3120
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3121
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3122
 
3123

3124
 
3125
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3126
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3127

3133
 
3134
Minor changes:
3135
    * Jats label command
3136
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3137
      Not recommended for general use.
3138
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3139
      directories within the current view.
3140
 
3141
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3142
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3143
      elsewhere.
3144
 
3145
    * Jats save_build
3146
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3147
      the determination of a branch.
3148
 
3149
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3150
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3151
 
3152
    * Jats build
3153
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3154
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3155
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3156
 
3157
    * Borland6 toolset
3158
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3159
      to match the documented install location of:
3160
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3161
 
3162
    * Jats build
3163
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3164
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3165
      This is a very quick operation.
3166
 
3167
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3168
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3169
 
3170
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3171
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3172
      files are only recreated if need be.
3173
 
3174
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3175
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3176
      make the package.
3177
 
3178
    * Jats sandbox
3179
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3180
 
3181
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3182
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3183
 
3184
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3185
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3186
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3187
      is performed.
3188
 
3189
Internal:
3190
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3227
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3228
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3229
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3230
 
3231
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3232
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3233
 
3234
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3235
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3236
      platform builds.
3237
 
3238
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3239
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3240
      directory tree.
3241
 
3242
    * New command: jats man
3243
      Produces full help on a specified item.

3255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3256
Major changes:
3257
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3258
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3259
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3260
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3261
 
3262
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3263
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3264
 
3265
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3266
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3267
 
3268
      Examples:
3269
            jats upddep -show
3270
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3271
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3272
 
3273
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3274
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3275
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3276
 
3277
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3278
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3279
 
3280
Minor changes:
3281
 
3282
Internal changes:
3283
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3289
Major changes:
3290
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3291
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3292
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3293
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3294
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3295
      stream.
3296
 
3297
      Example:
3298
 
3299
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3300
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3301
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3302
                     );
3303
Minor changes:
3304
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3305
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3306
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3307
      directive.
3308
 
3309
    * GCC Toolkit
3310
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3311
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3312
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3313
      the point of termination.
3314
 
3315
    * Jats save_build utility
3316
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3317
      under windows.
3318
 
3319
    * Jats sandbox
3320
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3321
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3322
      in different sandboxes.
3323
 
3324
    * Jats release
3325
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3326

      directory.
3337
 
3338
    * jats label utility
3339
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3340
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3341
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3342
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3343
 
3344
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3355
        noExceptions            - Disable
3356
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3357
      Example:
3358
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3359
 
3360
    * Solaris targets
3361
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3362
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3363
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3364
      machine type.

3372
      project files.
3373
 
3374
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3375
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3376
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3377

3383
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3384
 
3385
    * Jats save_build utility
3386
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3387
      under windows.
3388
 
3389
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3390
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3391
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3392
      libraries.
3393
 
3394
    * Solaris builds
3395
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3396
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3397
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3398
      of the build failure.
3399
 
3400
 
3401
Internal changes:
3402
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3403
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3404
 
3405
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3406
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
3410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3411
Major changes:
3412
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3413
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3414
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3415
      existing 32-bit builds.
3416
 
3417
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3418
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3419
 
3420
Minor changes:
3421
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3422
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3423
 
3424
    * Package searching
3425
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3426
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3427
 
3428
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3429
 
3430
    * jats help
3431
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3432
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3433
 
3434
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3435
      with one of:
3436
        jats -h
3437
        jats help jats
3438
 
3439
Internal:
3440
    * cmdfile utility
3441
      Added macros:
3442
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3443
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3444
 
3445
      Corrected
3446
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3447
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3448
 
3449
      Extended
3450
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3451
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3452
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3453
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3458
Major changes:
3459
 
3460
Minor changes:
3461
 
3462
Internal changes
3463
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3464
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3465
      Useful side effects include:
3466
 
3467
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3468
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3469
 
3470
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3471
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3472
 
3473
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3474
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3475
        BuildPkgArchive
3476
 
313 dpurdie 3477
    * Perl Modules
3478
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3479
      release. This will:
3480
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3481
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3482
          reported by ERG.
3483
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3488
Major changes:
3489
 
3490
Minor changes:
3491
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3492
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3493
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3494
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3495
 
3496
    * Jats label utility
3497
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3498
 
3499
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3500
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3501
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3502
 
3503
    * Jats core
3504
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3505
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3506
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3515
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3516
      This is now fixed.
3517
 
309 dpurdie 3518
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3519
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3520
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3521
 
3522
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3523
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3524

3530
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3531
    * Generating makefiles
3532
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3533
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3534
      an error.
3535
 
3536
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3537
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3538
 
3539
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3540
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3546
Major changes:
3547
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3548
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3549
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3550
 
3551
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3552
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3553
 
3554
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3555
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3556
      Support includes
3557
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3558
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3559
 
3560
Minor changes:
3561
    * Build file processing
3562
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3563
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3564
 
3565
    * MOS builds
3566
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3567
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3568
 
3569
    * MOS builds
3570
      New 'known' product: PICP
3571
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3572
 
3573
    * GenerateFiles directive
3574
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3575
        under windows.
3576
 
3577
        .
3578
 
3579
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3580
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3581
 
3582
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3583
      to the output stream.
3584
 
3585
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3586
 
3587
    * Windows Shell
3588
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3589
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3590
 
3591
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3592
 
3593
    * H8S toolset
3594
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3595
 
3596
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3597
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3598
 
3599
Internal changes
3600
    * WinCe builds
3601
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3602
      content of the file.
3603
 
3604
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3605
 
3606
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3607
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3619
Major changes:
3620
 
3621
Minor changes:
3622
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3623
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3624
      Changes are transparent to users.
3625
 
3626
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3627
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3628
      this occurs.
3629
 
3630
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3631
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3632
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3633
      automated build framework.
3634
 
3635
    * jats sandbox command
3636
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3637
      'create' command.
3638
 
3639
    * jats command aliases. Added
3640
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3641
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3646
Major changes:
3647
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3648
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3649
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3650
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3651
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3652
      will work as expected
3653
 
3654
Minor changes:
3655
    * VS2008 Toolset
3656
      Picking up incorrect config details
3657
      May result in a warning message.
3658
 
3659
    * gen_cots utility
3660
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3661
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3662
 
3663
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3664
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
3665
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3712
Major changes:
3713
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3714
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3715
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3716
 
3717
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3718
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3719
 
3720
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3721
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3722
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3723
           names cannot be changed.
3724
 
3725
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3726
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3727
 
3728
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3729
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3730
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3731
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3732
 
3733
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3734
      file.
3735
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3736
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3737
      MyPackage.dpk.
3738
 
3739
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3740
      file.
3741
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3742
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3743
      MyDll.dpr.
3744
 
3745
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3746
      file.
3747
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3748
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3749
      MyProg.dpr.
3750
 
3751
Minor changes:
3752
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3753
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3754
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3755
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3756
 
3757
    * BuildVersion directive
3758
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3759
      in a Delphi Unit.
3760
 
3761
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3762
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3763
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3764
      'know' the location of the files.
3765
 
3766
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3767
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3768
 
3769
Internal Changes:
3770
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3771
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3772
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3773
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3774
 
3775
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3776
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3777
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

3781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3782
Major changes:
3783
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3784
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3785
      information for purely C++ builds.
3786
 
289 dpurdie 3787
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3788
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3789
 
289 dpurdie 3790
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3791
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3792
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3793
 
3794
Minor changes:
3795
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

3797
 
3798
    * updatenodespec utility
3799
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3800

3837
    * New command: jats make show
3838
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
3839
      used in the build.
3840
 
3841
    * Escrow command
3842
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
3843
 
3844
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
3845
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
3846
      build files against the Release Manager information.
3847
 
3848
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
3849
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 3853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3854
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 3855
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 3856
 
279 dpurdie 3857
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
3858
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
3859
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 3860
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 3861
 
3862
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
3863
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
3864
 
3865
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
3866
 
3867
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
3868
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
3869
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
3870
 
3871
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
3872
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
3873
        processed.
3874
 
3875
      Removed the '-delete' option
3876
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
3877
 
277 dpurdie 3878
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 3879
    * Sandbox command
3880
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
3881
 
3882
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
3883
      target from consideration in the build set.
3884
 
3885
    * MCR Toolset
3886
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
3887
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
3888
 
3889
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
3890
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
3891
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
3892
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
3893
 
3894
    * Jats run_test command
3895
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
3896
      tests we run on a Window machine.
3897
 
3898
    * descpkg file
3899
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
3900
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
3901
 
3902
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
3903
     Now contains build trace information
3904
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
3905
 
3906
   * jats abt command simplified usage
3907
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
3908
     it contains 'jar' files.
3909
 
3910
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
3911
 
3912
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
3913
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
3914
 
3915
   * BuildVersion directive
3916
     Form:
3917
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
3918
     now works as expected.
3919
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
3920
 
3921
Internal Changes:
3922
 
3923
    * Error reporting mechanism
3924
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
3925
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
3926
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

3938
    then starts.
3939
 
3940
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
3941
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
3942
 
3943
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
3944
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
3945
    non-platform option.
3946
 
279 dpurdie 3947
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4102
 
4103
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
4104
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4105
 
4106
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
4107

        define_source_file              (Default)
4110
 
4111
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4112
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4113
 
4114
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4115
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4116
      compatibility.
4117
 
4118
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

4122
            --InstallProg=list
4123
 
4124
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4125
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4126
      GenerateCab.
4127
 
4128
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

      windows.
4172
 
4173
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolsets
4174
      Made used of rpccpp. These platforms can now support the creation
4175
      of XDR based modules.
4176
 
4177
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
4178
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
4179
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
4180
      generator process does not operate if the output files already exist,
4181
      such as the rpcgen utility.
4182
 
4183
    * Jats MakeAnt directive
4184
      Correct problem where unit_tests could not be run.
4185

4195
Internal Changes:
4196
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
4197

4204
      Now takes an array of arguments.
4205
 
4206
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
4207
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4208
      programs.
4209
 
4210
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
4211
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

4237
 
4238
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
4239
 
4240
      Suggested new usage:
4241
        jats etool jats_save_build
4242

4258
 
4259
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4260
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4261
      time.
4262
 
4263
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4264
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4277
 
4278
Internal Changes:
4279
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4280
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4281
      Previously was being done at two places
4282
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4283
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4284
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4285
 
4286
    * JATS make: Command line
4287
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4288

4296
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4297
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4298
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4299

4322
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4323
 
4324
    * FileUtils package.
4325
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4326
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.

4345
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4346
 
4347
Minor changes:
4348
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4349
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4350

4357
Major changes:
4358
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4359
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4360
 
4361
      New platforms:
4362
        CSHARP2005
4363
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4364
         Support extends to allow:
4365
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4366
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4367
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4368
 
4369
        VS2005
4370
         Support extends to allow:
4371
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4372
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4373
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4374
 
4375
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4376
      through a version selector:
4377
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4378
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4379
 
4380
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4381
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4382
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4383
 
4384
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4385
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4386
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4387
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4388
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4389
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4390
          under VS2005.
4391
 
4392
Minor changes:
4393
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4394
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4395
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4396
 
4397
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4398
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4399
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4400
 
4401
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4402
 
4403
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4404
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4405
 
4406
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4407
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4408
      a minimal value of perl.
4409
 
4410
      Removed excessive require statements.
4411
 
4412
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4413
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4414
      Include JATS specific files for
4415
        1) Windows
4416
        2) Linux
4417
 
4418
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4419
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4420
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4421
      machines.
4422
 
4423
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4424
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4425
 
4426
    * JATS Environment
4427
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4428
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4429
 
4430
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4431
      wrapper scripts.
4432
 
4433
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4434
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4435
      Spell check help and code.

4464
      was added.
4465
 
4466
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4467
      reviewing a new package.
4468

4487
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4488
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4489
  * New toolset and platform
4490
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4491
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4492
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4493
    this platform.
4494
 
4495
Minor changes:
4496
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4497
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4498
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4499
    work.
4500
 
4501
  * Jats utility: release
4502
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4503
    published to dpkg_archive.
4504
 
249 dpurdie 4505
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4506
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4507
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4508
    supported for ANT builds.
4509
 
4510
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4511
        releasemanager.releasename
4512
        releasemanager.projectname
4513
 
4514
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4515
    tagged data item of the form
4516
 
4517
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4518
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4519
 
4520
  * Mug File Generation
4521
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4522
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4523
 
4524
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4525
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4526
    required.
4527
 
4528
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4529
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4530
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4531
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4532
    the files in order to use them.
4533
 
4534
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4535
    locate the file.
4536
 
4537
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4538
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4539
 
4540
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4541
        * CSharp
4542
        * Properties

4546
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4547
    The case of the value is now preserved.

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4553
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4554
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4555
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4556
 
4557
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4558
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4559
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4560
 
4561
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4562
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4563
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4564
 
4565
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4566
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4567
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4568
 
4569
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4570
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4571
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4572
    correct.
4573
 
4574
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4575
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4576
 
4577
Minor changes:
4578
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4579
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4580
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4581
 
4582
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4583
    This will simplify new user setup.
4584
 
4585
  * All Unix Toolsets
4586
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4587
    on unix systems
4588
 
4589
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4590
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4591
    on some Solaris Machines.
4592
 
4593
  * JATS -version=<version>
4594
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4595
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4596

      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4604
 
4605
Minor changes:
4606
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4607
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets

4613
      Does not work with LMOS
4614
 
4615
    * Readme.txt file
4616
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4617
 
4618
    * Misc Cleanup
4619
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4639
 
4640
  * JATS builds
4641
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4642
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4643
    mode.
4644
 
4645
  * JATS makefiles
4646
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4647
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4648
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4649
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4650
                            SetList directive.
4651

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
4660
 
4661
  * JATS buildfile processing
4662
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
4663
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
4664
    of JATS.
4665
 
4666
  * JATS save_build utility
4667
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
4668
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
4696
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
4697
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4698
 
4699
    * MOS Toolset
4700
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
4701
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
4702
 
4703
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

4711
 
4712
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
4713
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
4714
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
4715
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * Extract/Release utility.
4750
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
4751
      that can handle spaces
4752
 
4753
    * MOS Compiler
4754
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4755
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4756
 
4757
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4758
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4759
      descpkg files to be copied.
4760
 
4761
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
4762
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
4763
 
4764
    * JATS ANT command
4765
      Better selection of the ant build file
4766
 
4767
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
4768
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
4769

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
4778
 
4779
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
4780
      <project> field.
4781
 
4782

Major changes:
4795
 
4796
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4797
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4798
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4799
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4800
 
4801
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4802
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4803
 
4804
    * Jats wrapper
4805
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
4806
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
4807

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4811
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 4812
    * Jats Release Mechanism
4813
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
4814
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
4815
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
4816
 
4817
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
4818
 
4819
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
4820
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
4821
 
4822
    * Running Jats
4823
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
4824
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
4825
      This may affect some windows developers.
4826
 
4827
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
4828
      Future versions will generate an error.
4829
 
4830
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
4831
 
4832
Minor changes:
4833
    * Perl Version Check
4834
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
4835
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
4836
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
4837
 
4838
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
4839
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
4840
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
4841
      build.
4842
 
4843
    * Jats Internals
4844
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
4845
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
4846
 
4847
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
4848
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
4849
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
4850
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
4851
      process.
4852
 
4853
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
4854
      Only works under Windows.
4855
 
4856
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
4857
 
4858
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
4859
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
4860
 
4861
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4862
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
4863
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
4864
 
4865
    * Jats eprog
4866
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
4867
      directory.
4868
 
4869
    * jats tool jats_metrics
4870
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
4871
      build metrics.
4872
 
4873

4876
Major changes:
4877
 
4878
Minor changes:
4879
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
4880
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
4881
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
4882
      automated build system. New options are:
4883
        -pname=Package_Name
4884
        -pversion=Package_Version
4885
 
4886
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
4887
      transferring the package. New options are:
4888
        -test
4889
 
4890
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4891
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
4892
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
4893
 
4894
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
4895
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
4896
 
4897
    * Solaris Toolset
4898
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
4899
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
4900
      programs are still supported.

4904
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4905
Major changes:
4906
 
4907
Minor changes:
4908
    * WINCE toolsets
4909
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
4910
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
4911
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
4912
      when header files cannot be found.
4913
 
4914
    * GenerateFiles directive
4915
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
4916
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
4917
      that are difficult to solve.
4918
 
4919
    * MakePerlModule directive
4920
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
4921
      to the the module builder.
4922
 
4923
    * Jats Tool: label
4924
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
4925
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
4926
      -dirs=xxx options.
4927
 
4928
    * Jats Tool: release
4929
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
4930
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
4931
 
4932
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
4933
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
4934
 
4935
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
4936
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
4937
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
4938
 
4939
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5027
 
5028
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5029
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5030
 
5031
    * gcc toolset
5032
      SharedLibries.
5033
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5034
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5035
 
5036
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5037
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5038
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5039
 
5040
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5041
        New options:
5042
            --MultiScan
5043
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5044
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5045
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5051
Major changes:
5052
 
5053
Minor changes:
5054
    PackageLib directive
5055
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5056
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5057
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5058
 
5059
    MakefileGenerate directive
5060
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5061
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5062
 
5063
    Multiple Parent detection
5064
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5065
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5066
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5067
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5068
 
5069
    Solaris Toolset
5070
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5071
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5072
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5073
    link.
5074
 
5075
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5076
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5077
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5078
 
5079
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5080
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5081
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5082
    file.

5086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5087
Major changes:
5088
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5089
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5090
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5091
 
5092
    Summary of changes:
5093
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5094
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5095
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5096
          flexibility.
5097
 
5098
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5099
 
5100
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5101
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5102
          interface directory and associated build information.
5103
 
5104
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5105
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5106
          than one second.
5107
 
5108
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5109
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5110
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5111
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5112
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5113
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5114
 
5115
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5116
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5117
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5118
 
5119
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5120
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5121
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5122
          building them.
5123
 
5124
        - Detection of build file changes
5125
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5126
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5127
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5128
 
5129
        - Quieter make output
5130
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5131
 
5132
 
5133
Minor changes:
5134
    MakeAnt Directive
5135
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5136
 
5137
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5138
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5139
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5140
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5141
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5142
 
5143
    CSHARP toolset
5144
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5145

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5153
    are generated.
5154
 
5155
    MakeAnt
5156
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5157
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5158
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5159
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5160
 
5161
    MCR platform

    MakeAnt directive extended
5172
    New option: --PackageBase
5173
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5174
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5175
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5176
 
5177
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5178
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5179
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5180
        package image being created.

5200
 
5201
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5202
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5203
 
5204
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5205
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5206
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5207
 
5208
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5209
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5210
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5240
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5241
 
5242
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5243
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5244
      last.
5245
 
5246
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5247
 
5248
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5249
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5250
 
5251
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5252
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5253
 
5254
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5255
 
5256
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5257
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5258
 
5259
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5260
 
5261
 
5262
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5263
           with the --System option

5276
      dependent packages.
5277
 
5278
    * RunTest operation
5279
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5280
 
5281

5286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5287
Major changes:
5288
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5289
 
5290
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5291
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5292
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5293
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5294
      path.
5295
 
5296
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5297
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5298
      reproducible.
5299
 
5300
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5301
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5302
 
5303
      There are several aspects to the change
5304
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5305
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5306
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5307
 
5308
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5309
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5310
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5311
          controlled separately.
5312
 
5313
Minor changes:
5314
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5315
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5316
        Remove duplicates
5317
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5318

Minor changes:
5325
    * Makefile sanity test
5326
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5327
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5328
 
5329
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5330
      x86 machine.
5331
 
5332
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5333
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5334
 
5335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5336
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5338
Major changes:
5339
    * RunTest directive
5340
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5341
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5342
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5343
 
5344
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5345
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5346
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5347
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5348
 
5349
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5350
        builder within the current toolset.
5351
 
5352
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5353
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5354
 
5355
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5356
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5357
      containing the RunTest directive.
5358
 
5359
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5360
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5361
 
5362
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5363
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5364
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5365
 
5366
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5367
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5368
                            P or D suffix.
5369
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5370
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5371
 
5372
Minor changes:
5373
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5374
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5375
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5376
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5377
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5378
 
5379
    * Save Build Utility
5380
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5381
      used in a ripple build.
5382
 
5383
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5384
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5385
 
5386
    * Release Utility
5387
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5388
      when an error is encountered.
5389
 
5390
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5391
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5392
 
5393
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5394
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5395
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5396
 
5397
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5398
      before the makefiles are created.
5399
 
5400
    * TestProg directive
5401
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5402
 
5403
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5404
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5405
 
5406

5407
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5409
Major changes:
5410
    * New build target
5411
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5412
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5413
 
5414
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5415
            DEVLINUX
5416
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5417
 
5418
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5419
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5420
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5421
 
5422
Minor changes:
5423
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5424
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5425
 
5426
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5427
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5428
 
5429
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5430
      and .cs files.
5431
 
5432
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5433
      thing.
5434
 
5435
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5436
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5437
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5438
      were it places temp files.
5439
 
5440
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5441
      interaction with other builds.
5442
 
5443
    * Release utility command
5444
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5445
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5446
      component in the clearcase tag name.
5447

5460
Minor changes:
5461
  * Unit Tests
5462
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5463
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5464
 
5465
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5466
    as a Script.

5496
Minor changes:
5497
  * WINCE Support
5498
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5499
 
5500
  * Removed the following targets
5501
        TP5600
5502
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5503
        TP5600_EMU
5504
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5505
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5506
 
5507
  * Deployment
5508
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5509
 
5510
  * build.pl
5511
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5512
 
5513
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5514
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5515
 
5516
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5517
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5518
    build.
5519
 
5520
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5521
 
5522
  * Tool: escrow
5523
     New features
5524
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5525
     are not in the SBOM.
5526
 
5527
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5528
 
5529
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5533
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5535
Major changes:
5536
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5537
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5538
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5539
 
5540
  * GenerateFiles
5541
    Added the options:
5542
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5543
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5544
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5545
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5546
 
5547
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5548
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5549
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5550
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5551
                                  required.
5552
 
5553
 
5554
Minor changes:
5555
  * GenerateFile directive
5556
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5557
 
5558
  * GCC Toolset
5559
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5560
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5561
    be rebuilt.
5562
 
5563
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5564
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5565
 
5566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5567
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5568
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5569
Major changes:
5570
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5571
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5572
    environment variables.
5573
 
5574
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5575
            moved.
5576
 
5577
    This will affect users that:
5578
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5579
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5580
 
5581
        2) Use the ABT system
5582
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5583
           the required configuration
5584
 
5585
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5586
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5587
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5588
    Windows
5589
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5590
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5591
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5592
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5593
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5594
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5595
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5596
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5597
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5598
 
5599
 
5600
  * New build platforms
5601
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5602
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5603
 
5604
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5605
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5606
 
5607
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5608
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5609
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5610
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5611
 
5612
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5613
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5614
    release.
5615
 
5616
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5617
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5618
 
5619
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5620
    need to be converted.
5621
 
5622
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5623
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5624
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5625
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5626
    used for different targets platforms.
5627
 
5628
  * Sandbox support
5629
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5630
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5631
 
5632
    New command: jats sandbox ...

5639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5640
Major changes:
5641
  * MakeAnt directive
5642
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5643
 
5644
    New options
5645
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5646
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5647
 
5648
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5649
    run_unit_tests phase.
5650
 
5651
  * Sandbox support
5652
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5653
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5654
 
5655
Minor changes:
5656
  * jats build
5657
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5658
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5659
 
5660
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5661
 
5662
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5663
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5664
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5665
 
5666
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5667
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5668
 
5669
  * JATS.BAT
5670
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5671
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5672
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5673
 
5674
  * jats label
5675
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5676
 
5677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5678
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5680
Major changes:
5681
  * New build platform:
5682
        LMOS_TP5600
5683
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5684
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5685
 
5686
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5687
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5688
    describe the group of platforms.
5689
 
5690
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5691
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5692
    build these targets.
5693
 
5694
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5695
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5696
 
5697
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5698
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5699
 
5700
  * New build platform: WINCE
5701
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5702
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5703
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5704
 
5705
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5706

5717
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5718
 
5719
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5720
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5721
    that contain packaging directives.
5722
 
5723
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5724
    very unusual configurations.
5725
 
5726
Minor changes:
5727
  * Directive: PackageFile
5728
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5729
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5730
    an '='.
5731
 
5732
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5733
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5734
 
5735
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5736
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5737
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5738
 
5739
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5740
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5741
 
5742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5743
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5744
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5745
Major changes:
5746
 
5747
  * JATS release command
5748
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5749
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5750
 
5751
    Rules are:
5752
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5753
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5754
                            File will be placed on a branch
5755
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5756
                            New directory will branch
5757
 
5758
Minor changes:
5759
  * JATS release command
5760
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5761
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5762
 
5763
  * JATS label command
5764
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5765
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5766
 
5767
  * JATS make
5768
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5769
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5770
    was re-packaged.
5771
 
5772
  * JATS escrow
5773
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5774
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5775
 
5776
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5777
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5778
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5779
 
5780
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5781
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5782
    interface directory.
5783
 
5784
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5785
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5786
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5787
    directory as seen by the package.
5788
 
5789
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5790
 
5791
  * JAVA 6
5792
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5793
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5794
 
5795
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5796
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5797
 
5798
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5799
 
5800
  * Jats command: vars
5801
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5802
    These indicate potential problems.
5803
 
5804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5805
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
5806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5807
Major changes:
5808
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
5809
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
5810
    libarry is also created.
5811
 
5812
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
5813
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
5814
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
5815
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
5816
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
5817
    information contained within the file.
5818
 
5819
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
5820
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
5821
 
5822
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
5823
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
5824
 
5825
  * Building Perl Modules
5826
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
5827
    documentation on the build machine.
5828
 
5829
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
5830
 
5831
Minor changes:
5832
  * jats create_dpkg
5833
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
5834
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
5835
 
5836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5837
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
5838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5839
Major changes:
5840
  * JATS JAVA build target
5841
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
5842
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
5843
 
5844
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
5845
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
5846
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
5847
    is then picked up as the default version.
5848
 
5849
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
5850
    build.pl file.
5851
 
5852
Minor changes:
5853
  * jats release
5854
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
5855
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
5856
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
5857
 
5858
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
5859
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
5860
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
5861
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
5862
    the name of the view.
5863
 
5864
  * GenerateFiles directive
5865
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
5866
 
5867
  * MOS Toolset
5868
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
5869
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
5870
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
5871
 
5872
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
5873
 
5874
 
5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
5877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5878
Major changes:
5879
 
5880
Minor changes:
5881
  * JATS environment
5882
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
5883
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
5884
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
5885
 
5886
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
5887
 
5888
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
5889
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
5890
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
5891
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
5892
    to be packaged.
5893
 
5894
  * Generated makefiles
5895
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
5896
 
5897
  * Generating MOS THX files
5898
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
5899
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
5900
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
5901
 
5902
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
5903
 
5904
  * JATS release
5905
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
5906
 
5907
  * JATS extract
5908
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
5909
 
5910
  * JATS Toolset
5911
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
5912
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
5913
 
5914
 
5915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
5917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5918
Major changes:
5919
 
5920
Minor changes:
5921
  * jats label
5922
    Added a -vob=name option
5923
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
5924
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
5925
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
5926
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
5927
 
5928
    Added a -user=name option
5929
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
5930
    label to the named user.
5931
 
5932
  * jats release
5933
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
5934
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
5935
 
5936
  * JATS build.pl
5937
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
5938
    ie:
5939
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
5940

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5943
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
5944
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5945
Major changes:
5946
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
5947
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
5948
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
5949
    the makefile internals. ie:
5950
        --Var(BuildName)
5951
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
5952
        -BuildName=MyPackage
5953
 
5954
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
5955
 
5956
  * GenerateFiles
5957
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
5958
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
5959
 
5960
  * BuildPlatforms
5961
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
5962
 
5963
Minor changes:
5964
  * GCC Toolset
5965
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
5966
 
5967
Internal changes:
5968
  * GenerateFiles
5969
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
5970
 
5971
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
5972
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
5973
 
5974
 
5975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5976
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
5977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5978
Major changes:
5979
  * Caching JATS
5980
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
5981
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
5982
 
5983
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
5984
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
5985
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
5986
 
5987
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
5988
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
5989
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
5990
 
5991
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
5992
 
5993
Minor changes:
5994
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
5995
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
5996
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
5997
 
5998
  * jats build
5999
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6000
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6001
    processed by the build.
6002
 
6003
  * jats build
6004
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6005
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6006
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6007
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6008
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6009
 
6010
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6011
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6012
    Path is not specified.
6013
 
6014
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6015
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6016
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6017
        --Dir=$Pinc
6018
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6019
 
6020
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6021
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6022
    Windows platform.
6023
 
6024
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6025
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6026
            by 'purecov.
6027
 
6028
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6029
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6030
 
6031
        - OPTIONS=purify
6032
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6033
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6034
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6035
 
6036
 
6037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6038
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6040
Major changes:
6041
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6042
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6043
    Example:
6044
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6045
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6046
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6047
 
6048
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6049
    been determined.
6050
 
6051
Minor changes:
6052
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6053
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6054
    located at build-time.
6055
 
6056
  * Unix based systems
6057
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6058
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6059
 
6060
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6061
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6062
    driver being built.
6063
 
6064
 
6065
------------------------------------------------------------------------

6069
 
6070
 
6071
Minor changes:
6072
  * jats_rewrite tool
6073
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6074
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6075
 
6076
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6077
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6078
 
6079
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6080
    dependancy information within a package.
6081
 
6082
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6083
    messages.
6084
 
6085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6086
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6088
Major changes:
6089
  * makefile.pl directives
6090
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6091
 
6092
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6093
 
6094
    GenerateFiles.
6095
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6096
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6097
                      be run on every invocation.
6098
 
6099
 
6100
Minor changes:
6101
  * Added the jats version command
6102
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6103
 
6104
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6105
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6106
  There are two mechanism:
6107
 
6108
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6109
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6110
 
6111
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6112
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6113
 
6114
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6115
  default.
6116
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6117
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6118
 
6119

6121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6122
Major changes:
6123
  * SunWorks Toolset
6124
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6125
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6126
    It is based on machine type.
6127
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6128
 
6129
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6130
 
6131
Minor changes:
6132
  * Perl DBI interface
6133
    Removed the message showing database connection
6134
 
6135
  * JATS internal library
6136
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6137
 
6138
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6139
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6141
Major changes:
6142
  * GCC Toolset
6143
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6144
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6145
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6146
 
6147
  * Added platforms
6148
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6149
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6150
    TP5600_EMU
6151
 
6152
Minor changes:
6153
  * descpkg file reader
6154
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6155
    field separator.
6156
 
6157
  * JATS eprog command
6158
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6159
 
6160
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6161
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6162
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6163
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6164
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6165
 
6166
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6167
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6168
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6169
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6170
 
6171
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6172
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
6173

6184
 
6185
 
6186
Minor changes:
6187
  * JATS wrapper script
6188
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6189
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6190
    to setup links to system programs.
6191

Major changes:
6211
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6212
    Added CompileOptions
6213
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6214
        no_misalign         - Default
6215
 
6216
        multithread         - Default
6217
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6218
 
6219
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6220
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6221
 
6222
        prod_no_optimise
6223
        prod_no_debuginfo

        debug_debuginfo
6231
 
6232
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6233
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6234
    Theses are:
6235
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6236
        SOLARIS_AMD
6237
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6238
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6239
 
6240
Minor changes:
6241
  * AT3232 toolset
6242
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6251
Major changes:
6252
 
6253
Minor changes:
6254
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6255
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6256
    messages
6257
 
6258
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6259
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6260
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6261
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6262
 
6263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6264
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6265
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6266
Major changes:
6267
 
6268
Minor changes:
6269
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6270
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6271
    library without creating the body of the library:
6272
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6273
 
6274
 
6275
  * MOS toolsets
6276
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6277
    library without creating the body of the library:
6278
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6279
 
6280
  * JATS BIN directories
6281
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6282
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6283
    using autoconf.
6284
 
6285
  * Generate directive
6286
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6287
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6288
 
6289
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6290
 
6291
 
6292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6293
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6295
Major changes:
6296
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6297
    Initial release.
6298
 
6299
Minor changes:
6300
 
6301
 
6302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6303
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6305
Major changes:
6306
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6307
    Initial release.
6308
 
6309
  * Packaging directives
6310
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6311
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6312
 
6313
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6314
        SOLARIS
6315
        WIN32
6316
 
6317
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6318
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6319
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6320
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6321
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6322
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6323
 
6324
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6325
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6326
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6327
 
6328
 
6329
Minor changes:
6330
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6331
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6332
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6333
 
6334
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6335
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6336
    location
6337
 
6338
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6339
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6340
 
6341
  * Utility genrc
6342
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6343
 
6344
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6345
    Added option: -new
6346
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6347
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6348
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6349
 
6350
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6351
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6352
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6353
 
6354
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6355
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6356
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6357
 
6358
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6359
   features - in a uniform manner.
6360
 
6361
 
6362
Internal Changes:
6363
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6364
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6365
 
6366
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6367
        1) Platform information available at build time
6368
        2) Dynamic platform names
6369
 
6370
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6371
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6372
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6373
 
6374
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6375
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6376
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6377
 
6378
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6379
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6380
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6381
    needed.
6382
 
6383
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6384
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6385
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6386
    files from all of these.
6387

6389
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6391
Major changes:
6392
 
6393
Minor changes:
6394
  * WinCE toolset
6395
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6396
 
6397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6398
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6399
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6400
Major changes:
6401
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6402
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6403
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6404
 
6405
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6406
 
6407
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6408
    the operations.
6409
 
6410
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6411
 
6412
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6413
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6414
 
6415
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6416
 
6417
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6418
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6419
 
6420
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6421
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6422
    Extended the built-in help
6423
    Added useful error messages
6424
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6425
 
6426
  * WinCE toolset
6427
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6428
 
6429
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6430
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6431
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6432
 
6433
Minor changes:
6434
  * JATS wrapper script
6435
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6436
    the command line.
6437
 
6438
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6439
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6440
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6441
 
6442
Internal Changes:
6443
  * Common Error Reporting
6444
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6445
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6446
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6447
    level.
6448
 
6449
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6450
    displayed.
6451
 
6452
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6453
 
6454
  * Added JatsSystem module
6455
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6456
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6457
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

6459
Major changes:
6460
 
6461
Minor changes:
6462
  * BR Compiler toolset
6463
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6464
    .def files to include other files.
6465
 
6466
  * IAR toolset
6467
    Added AT7272 support
6468
 
6469
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6470
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6471
 
6472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6473
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6474
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6475
Major changes:
6476
 
6477
Minor changes:
6478
  * BR Compiler toolset
6479
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6480
    use.
6481
 
6482
 
6483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6484
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6486
Major changes:
6487
 
6488
Minor changes:
6489
  * Mictotec toolset
6490
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6491
    builds.
6492
 
6493
  * JATS Core
6494
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6495
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6496
    behaviour.
6497
 
6498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6499
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6501
Major changes:
6502
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6503
    Deployment package will be affected.
6504
 
6505
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6506
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6507
 
6508
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6509
 
6510
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6511
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6512
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6513
    packages.
6514
 
6515
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6516
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6517
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6518
 
6519
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6520
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6521
 
6522
Minor changes:
6523
  * SubDir directive
6524
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6525
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6526
 
6527
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6528
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6529
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6530
    of the file usage.
6531
 
6532
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6533
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6534
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6535
 
6536
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6537
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6538
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6539
 
6540
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6541
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6542
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6543
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6544
 
6545
 
6546
Internal Changes:
6547
  * Code refactor
6548
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6549
 
6550
  * Deployment utilities
6551
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6552
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6553
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6554
    the module can locate the file.
6555
 
6556
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6557
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6558
 
6559
  * JATS core
6560
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6561
 
6562
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6563
 
6564
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6565
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6566
    through the use of environment variables.
6567
 
6568
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6569
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6570
 
6571
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6572
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6573
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6574
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6575
 
6576
  * Make environment
6577
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6578
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6579

6582
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6583
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6584
Major changes:
6585
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6586
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6587
 
6588

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6590
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6591
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6592
 
6593
Not Released.
6594
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6595
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6596
 
6597
 
6598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6599
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Major changes:
6602
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6603
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6604
    radically replaced.
6605
 
6606
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6607
    Usage:
6608
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6609
 
6610
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6611
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6612
    this solution:
6613
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6614
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6615
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6616
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6617
 
6618
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6619
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6620
    order to work.
6621
 
6622
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6623
    reduced functionality.
6624
 
6625
 
6626
Minor changes:
6627
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6628
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6629
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6630
 
6631
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6632
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6633
    within the makefiles.
6634
        Options:
6635
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6636
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6637
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6638
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6639
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6640
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6641
        Useage:
6642
 
6643
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6644
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6645
 
6646
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6647
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6648
    is not in the current directory.
6649
 
6650
  * Jats Command: ant'
6651
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6652
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6653
 
6654
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6655
 
6656
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6657
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6658
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6659
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6660
 
6661
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6662
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6663
    Thus
6664
 
6665
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6666
 
6667
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6668
 
6669

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6671
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6672
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6673
Major changes:
6674
 
6675
Minor changes:
6676
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6677
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6678
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6679
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6680
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6681
 
6682
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6683
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6684
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6685
 
6686
Internal changes:
6687
  * JATS toolsets
6688
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6689
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6690
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6691
 
6692
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6693
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6694
 
6695
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6696
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6697
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6698
Major changes:
6699
  * Jats command: etool
6700
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6701
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6702
 
6703
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6704
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6705
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6706
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6707
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6708
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6709
 
6710
Minor changes:
6711
 
6712
 
6713
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6714
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6715
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6716
Major changes:
6717
  * JATS environment variables
6718
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6719
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6720
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6721
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6722
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6723
 
6724
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6725
              Remote repository
6726
 
6727
    Added GBE_DPLY
6728
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6729
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6730
 
6731
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6732
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6733
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6734
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6735
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6736
 
6737
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6738
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6739
 
6740
 
6741
Minor changes:
6742
  * JATS utility: build
6743
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6744
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6745
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6746
 
6747
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6748
    Ensure label is not locked
6749
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6750
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6751
 
6752
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6753
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6754
    to a specific type of build.
6755
 
6756
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6757
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6758
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6759
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6760
 
6761
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6762
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6763
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6764
 
6765
  * JATS utility: release
6766
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6767
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6768
 
6769
  * JATS utility: label
6770
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6771
    when it is being created.
6772
 
6773
Internal Changes
6774
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6775
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6776
 
6777
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6778
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6779
 
6780
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6781
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6782
    different results.
6783
 
6784
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6785
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6786
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6787
 
6788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6789
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6790
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6791
Major changes:
6792
 
6793
  * MCR toolset
6794
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6795
 
6796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6797
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6799
Major changes:
6800
  * WIN32 utilities
6801
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6802
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6803
 
6804
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
6805
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
6806
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
6807
 
6808
Minor changes:
6809
  * BuildVersion
6810
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
6811
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
6812
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
6813
 
6814
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
6815
 
6816
  * Unix Builds
6817
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
6818
    library or a shared library.
6819
 
6820
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
6821
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
6822
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
6823
    start with 'lib'.
6824
 
6825
  * BuildPkgArchive
6826
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
6827
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
6828
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
6829
 
6830
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6831
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
6832
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6833
Major changes:
6834
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6835
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
6836
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
6837
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
6838
    being manually maintained.
6839
 
6840
 
6841
Minor changes:
6842
  * MakeAnt directive
6843
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
6844
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
6845
    supports ANT builds.
6846
 
6847
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6848
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
6849
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
6850
 
6851
  * Label utility
6852
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
6853
    files to be labeled.
6854
 
6855
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
6856
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
6857
    on Solaris.
6858
 
6859
  * Generated makefiles
6860
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
6861
    nothing.
6862
 
6863
  * MOS Toolset
6864
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
6865
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
6866
    modules.
6867
 
6868
  * Utility: gen_cots
6869
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
6870
    and then check it in under clearcase.
6871
 
6872
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
6873
 
6874
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
6875
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
6876
 
6877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6878
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
6879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6880
Major changes:
6881
  None
6882
 
6883
Minor changes:
6884
  * DEVI addressed
6885
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 6886
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 6887
 
6888
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
6889
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
6890
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
6891
 
6892
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
6893
 
6894
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
6895
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
6896
 
6897
  * RunTest directive
6898
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
6899
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
6900
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
6901
 
6902
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
6903
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
6904
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
6905
    packaged under JATS
6906
 
6907
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
6908
          supported within JATS.
6909
 
6910
  * Jats utility wrapper
6911
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
6912
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
6913
 
6914
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
6915
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
6916
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
6917
 
6918
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
6919
    Eg: jats ant
6920
 
6921
  * Jats utility wrapper
6922
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
6923
 
5710 dpurdie 6924
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 6925
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
6926
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
6927
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
6928
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
6929
 
5710 dpurdie 6930
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 6931
    expect a build.pl file.
6932
 
6933
  * Jats utility wrapper
6934
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
6935
 
6936
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
6937
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
6938
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
6939
 
6940
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
6941
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
6942
 
6943
  * Build files
6944
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 6945
    VIX extensions.

Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
6949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6950
Major changes:
6951
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
6952
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
6953
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
6954
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
6955
 
6956
    This may cause module validation to fail.
6957
 
6958
Minor changes:
6959
  * None
6960
 
6961
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6962
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
6963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6964
Major changes:
6965
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
6966
    Added option --Uses=NAME
6967
    ie:
6968
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
6969
 
6970
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
6971
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
6972
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
6973
    environments are compatible.
6974
 
6975
 
6976
Minor changes:
6977
  * BuildName option
6978
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 6979
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 6980
 
6981
  * jats.bat
6982
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
6983
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
6984
 
6985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6986
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
6987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6988
Major changes:
6989
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
6990
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
6991
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
6992
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
6993
 
6994
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
6995
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
6996
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
6997
 
6998
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
6999
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7000
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7001
 
7002
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7003
    transferred.
7004
 
7005
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7006
    See notes below.
7007
 
7008
  * WIN32 toolset
7009
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7010
    correctly.
7011
 
7012
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7013
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7014
 
7015
  * BuildVersion
7016
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7017
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7018
    other langauges as needed.
7019
 
7020
 
7021
Minor changes:
7022
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7023
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7024
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7025
    version strings.
7026
 
7027
  * GenerateFiles directive
7028
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7029
    package or an imported package.
7030
 
7031
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7032
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7033
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7034
 
7035
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7036
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7037
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7038
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7039
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7040
 
7041
Internal Changes
7042
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7043
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7044
    of utilities.
7045
 
7046
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7047
    functions.
7048
 
7049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7050
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7052
Major changes:
7053
  * Generated makefiles
7054
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7055
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7056
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7057
 
7058
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7059
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7060
    incorrectly processing:
7061
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7062
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7063
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7064
    confused.
7065
 
7066
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7067
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7068
    The construct
7069
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7070
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7071
    then it works.
7072
 
7073
  * MakeAnt directive
7074
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7075
 
7076
    This option has the following effects
7077
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7078
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7079
 
7080
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7081
           early - in the generated files phase.
7082
 
7083
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7084
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7085
 
7086
 
7087
Minor changes:
7088
  * JATS post-installation script
7089
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7090
 
7091
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7092
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7093
    windows.
7094
 
7095
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7096
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7097
 
7098
  * Jats wrapper script
7099
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7100
        1) Contain spaces
7101
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7102
 
7103
  * Toolset
7104
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7105
 
7106
  * JAVA toolset
7107
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7108
    directive:
7109
 
7110
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7111
 
7112
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7113
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7114
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7115
 
7116
  * GCC Toolset
7117
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7118
 
7119
  * Makefile generation
7120
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7121
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7122
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7123
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7124
    package could not be used.
7125
 
7126
  * Unit Tests
7127
    The following environment variables are set:
7128
 
7129
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7130
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7131
 
7132
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7133
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7134
 
7135
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7136
 
7137
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7138
 
7139
 
7140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7141
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7143
Major changes:
7144
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7145
 
7146
    Special features of this toolset.
7147
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7148
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7149
       incorporated within the target image.
7150
 
7151
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7152
       --Set=Name=Value
7153
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7154
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7155
 
7156
       --Ref=name
7157
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7158
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7159
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7160
                will be taken from the build version number.
7161
 
7162
Minor changes:
7163
  * MOS Toolset
7164
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7165
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7166
    packaged.
7167
 
7168
  * Src directive
7169
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7170
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7171
    specifier.
7172
 
7173
  * WIN32 runtime support
7174
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7175
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7176
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7177
 
7178
Internal:
7179
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7180
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7181
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7182
 
7183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7184
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7186
Major changes:
7187
    * BuildAlias directive
7188
      Added options.
7189
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7190
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7191
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7192
                          targets.
7193
      Eg:
7194
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7195
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7196
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7197
 
7198
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7199
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7200
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7201
 
7202
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7203
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7204
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7205
 
7206
 
7207
Minor changes:
7208
  * Label utility
7209
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7210
    build.pl file
7211
 
7212
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7213
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7214
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7215
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7216
    --FilterIn option.
7217
 
7218
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7219
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7220
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7221
 
7222
  * Location of descpkg file
7223
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7224
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7225
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7226
 
7227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7228
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7230
Major changes:
7231
  * RunTest directive
7232
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7233
    Additional options
7234
      --CopyIn=file
7235
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7236
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7237
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7238
        the test area.
7239
 
7240
    Additional operations
7241
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7242
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7243
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7244
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7245
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7246
    Allows flags:
7247
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7248
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7249
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7250
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7251
 
7252
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7253
    existence is tested.
7254
 
7255
  * Packaging Directives
7256
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7257
    such as LMOS.
7258
 
7259
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7260
 
7261
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7262
 
7263
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7264
 
7265
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7266
 
7267
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7268
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7269
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7270
 
7271
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7272
 
7273
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7274
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7275
 
7276
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7277
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7278
 
7279
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7280
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7281
 
7282
Minor changes:
7283
  * Script directive
7284
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7285
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7286
 
7287
  * JATS environment
7288
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7289
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7290
    the JATS wrapper script.
7291
 
7292
  * Label utility
7293
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7294
    There are three modes of operation:
7295
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7296
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7297
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7298
 
7299

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7301
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7303
Major changes:
7304
 
7305
Minor changes:
7306
  * label utility
7307
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7308
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7309
 
7310
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7311
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7312
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7313
      --ProgLoader=name
7314
 
7315
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7316
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7317
    Options to do this are:
7318
        --TreeDir=name
7319
        --FilterOut=regexp
7320
        --FilterIn=regexp
7321
        --StripDir
7322
 
7323
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7324
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7325
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7326
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7327
 
7328
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7329
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7330
 
7331
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7332
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7333
 
7334
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7335
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7336
 
7337
 
7338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7339
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7340
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7341
Major changes:
7342
    * Make commands
7343
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7344
 
7345
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7346
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7347
 
7348
    * Label utility
7349
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7350
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7351
 
7352
Minor changes:
7353
    * Toolsets
7354
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7355
      variables and overrides.
7356
 
7357
      The make_init target is always run.
7358
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7359
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7360
 
7361
    * Deployment
7362
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7363
      with deployment operations.
7364
 
7365
    * Release utility
7366
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7367
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7368
      restricted by options within the build.
7369
 
7370
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7371
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7372
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7373
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7374
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7375
 
7376
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7377
      directives.
7378
 
7379
    * MakeProject directive
7380
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7381
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7382
 
7383
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7384
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7385
      is preserved.
7386
 
7387
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7388
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7389
      statements.
7390
 
7391
    * Mugfile generation
7392
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7393
      be placed in the target package.
7394
 
7395
 
7396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7397
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7399
Major changes:
7400
    * BuildVersion directive
7401
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7402
      number as well as a patch number.
7403
 
7404
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7405
      number.
7406
 
7407
Minor changes:
7408
    * AddFlags directives
7409
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7410
      duplicate flags being added.
7411
 
7412
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7413
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7414
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7415
 
7416
    * Mug File Generation
7417
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7418
 
7419
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7420
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7421
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7422
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7423
     directory.
7424
 
7425
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7426
     reproducible.
7427
 
7428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7429
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7431
Major changes:
7432
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7433
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7434
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7435
      longer a list of directories.
7436
 
7437
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7438
      done within the toolset.
7439
 
7440
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7441
 
7442
    * JATS environment variables
7443
      Redefined variable
7444
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7445
                          Previously was a list that included the
7446
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7447
 
7448
      New variable
7449
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7450
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7451
 
7452
 
7453
Minor changes:
7454
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7455
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7456
      target platforms to be extracted.
7457
 
7458
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7459
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7460
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7461
 
7462
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7463
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7464
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7465
 
7466
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7467
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7468
 
7469
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7470
      Support ANT based XML files
7471
 
7472
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7473
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7474
      structure.
7475
 
7476
    * makefile.pl's
7477
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7478
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7479
 
7480
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7481
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7482
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7483
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7484
 
7485
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7486
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7487
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7488
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7489
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7490
      -- Auto.
7491
 
7492
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7493
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7494
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7495
 
7496
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7497
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7498
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7499
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7500
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7501
 
7502
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7503
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7504
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7505
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7506
      installed on the machine.
7507
 
7508
    * WINCE Targets
7509
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7510
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7511
 
7512
 
7513
 
7514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7515
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7516
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7517
Major changes:
7518
    * WIN32 platforms
7519
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7520
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7521
      and installed packages.
7522
 
7523
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7524
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7525
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7526
 
7527
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7528
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7529
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7530
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7531
      searched when looking for libraries.
7532
 
7533
Minor changes:
7534
    * GenerateFiles directive
7535
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7536
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7537
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7538
                          and drive letter
7539
 
7540
    * Src directive
7541
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7542
      directory of a package.
7543
 
7544
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7545
 
7546
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7547
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7548
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7549
 
7550
    * jats_rewrite utility
7551
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7552
 
7553
 
7554
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7555
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7557
Major changes:
7558
    * SunWorks production builds
7559
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7560
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7561
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7562
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7563
      compiler documentation.
7564
 
7565
    * MOS Toolset
7566
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7567
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7568
 
7569
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7570
 
7571
Minor changes:
7572
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7573
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7574
      This should not affect current users.
7575
 
7576
    * Mugfile generation
7577
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7578
      specified.
7579
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7580
 
7581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7582
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7583
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7584
Major changes:
7585
    MOS Toolset
7586
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7587
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7588
 
7589
Minor changes:
7590
    * Jats wrapper script
7591
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7592
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7593
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7594
 
7595
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7596
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7597
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7598
      may be suspect.
7599
 
7600
    * GenerateFiles directive
7601
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7602
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7603
 
7604
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7605
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7607
Major changes:
7608
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7609
      build.xml files.
7610
 
7611
Minor changes:
7612
    * WIN32 toolset.
7613
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7614
 
7615
    * MakeAnt
7616
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7617
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7618
 
7619
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7620
 
7621
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7622
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7623
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7624
 
7625
    * MakeAnt directive
7626
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7627
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7628
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7629
 
7630
      Recommended usage:
7631
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7632
 
7633
Internal Changes
7634
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7635

7638
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7640
Major changes:
7641
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7642
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7643
      files packaged into the release.
7644
 
7645
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7649
 
7650
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7651
      The recommended platform is:
7652
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7653
 
7654
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7655
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7656
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7657
      components.
7658
 
7659
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

7663
 
7664
Minor changes:
7665
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7666
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7667
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7668
      by the package to be accessed.
7669
 
7670
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7671
      application or visual studio.
7672
 
7673
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7674
      and the JATS Core path.
7675
 
7676
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7677
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7678
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7679
 
7680
    * MOS Toolset
7681
      Add support for the TPT device
7682
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7683
 
7684
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7685
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7686
 
7687
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7688
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7689
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7690
 
7691
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7692
 
7693
Internal Changes
7694
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7695
      in jats.pl
7696
 
7697
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7698
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7700
Major changes:
7701
    * JATS wrapper script
7702
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7703
 
7704
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7705
 
7706
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7707
 
7708
Minor changes:
7709
    * Deployment support
7710
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7711
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7712
 
7713
    * 'build'
7714
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7715
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7716
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7717
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7718
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7719
 
7720
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7721
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7722
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7723
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7724
                                      the link phase.
7725
 
7726
    * BuildPkgArchive
7727
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7728
      Previously these were ignored.
7729
      Minor code cleanup
7730
 
7731
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7732
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7733
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7734
 
7735
    * SOLARIS targets
7736
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7737
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7738
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7739
 
7740
    * MugFile generation
7741
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7742
      included in the final package.
7743
 
7744
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7745
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7746
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7747
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7748
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7749
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7750
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7751
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7752
 
7753
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7754
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7755
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7756
            --Option=(some_text)
7757
            --Option=[some_text]
7758
            --Option={some_text}
7759
 
7760
Internal Changes
7761
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7762
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7763
      code.
7764

7766
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7768
Major changes:
7769
    * JATS wrapper script
7770
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7771
 
7772
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7773
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7774
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7775
      other components.
7776
 
7777
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7778
 
7779
    * JATS
7780
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7781
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7782
 
7783
    * Build operations
7784
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7785
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7786
      packages.
7787
 
7788
    * Make operations
7789
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7790
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7791
 
7792
Minor changes:
7793
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7794
      deployment builds.
7795
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7796
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7797
 
7798
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7799
 
7800
    * build.pl
7801
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7802
        processed. Allows
7803
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
7804
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
7805
        production.
7806
 
7807
    * MOS toolset
7808
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
7809
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
7810
 
7811
    * create_dpkg utility
7812
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
7813
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
7814
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
7815
      progress of the build.
7816
 
7817
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
7818
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
7819
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
7820
      system.
7821
 
7822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7823
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
7824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7825
Major changes:
7826
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7827
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
7828
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
7829
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
7830
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
7831
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
7832
 
7833
    * WCEX86A500 target
7834
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
7835
 
7836
    * MOS Toolsets
7837
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
7838
      the compiler.
7839
 
7840
    * RunTest directive
7841
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
7842
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
7843
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
7844
 
7845
Minor changes:
7846
    * JATS BUILD
7847
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
7848
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
7849
      highlight bad settings.
7850
 
7851
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
7852
      access to extensions.
7853
 
7854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7855
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
7856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7857
Major changes:
7858
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7859
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
7860
 
7861
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
7862
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
7863
      under unix.
7864
 
7865
Minor changes:
7866
    * label utility
7867
      Added options to:
7868
        o Delete a label
7869
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
7870
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
7871
 
7872
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
7873
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
7874
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
7875
      Package directives.
7876
 
7877
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
7878
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
7879
      system.
7880
 
7881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7882
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
7883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7884
Major changes:
7885
    * MOS Toolset
7886
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
7887
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
7888
 
7889
    * WIN32 Toolset
7890
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
7891
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
7892
      list.
7893
 
7894
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
7895
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
7896
 
7897
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
7898
 
7899
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
7900
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
7901
 
7902
 
7903
Minor changes:
7904
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
7905
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
7906
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
7907
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
7908
      corrected.
7909
 
7910
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
7911
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
7912
 
7913
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
7914
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
7915
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
7916
 
7917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7918
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
7919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7920
Major changes:
7921
    * WIN32 Toolset
7922
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
7923
      use with multithreaded modes.
7924
 
7925
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
7926
      --OnlyProd.
7927
 
7928
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
7929
      within the makefile.pl.
7930
 
7931
Minor changes:
7932
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
7933
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
7934
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
7935
      platforms.
7936
 
7937
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
7938
 
7939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7940
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
7941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7942
Major changes:
7943
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
7944
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
7945
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
7946
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
7947
 
7948
    * Preliminary Support
7949
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
7950
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
7951
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
7952
 
7953
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
7954
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
7955
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
7956
 
7957
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
7958
      building. The default build will build both.
7959
 
7960
Minor changes:
7961
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
7962
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
7963
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
7964
 
7965
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
7966
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
7967
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
7968
 
7969
 
7970
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7971
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
7972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7973
Major changes:
7974
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
7975
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
7976
      or all.
7977
 
7978
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
7979
      the library or program.
7980
 
7981
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
7982
 
7983
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
7984
      library or any debug files.
7985
 
7986
    * GenerateFiles
7987
      All processed arguments now support two options.
7988
 
7989
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
7990
              directory in which the prereq file is found
7991
 
7992
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
7993
              The filename of the prereq file
7994
 
7995
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
7996
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
7997
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
7998
 
7999
 
8000
Minor changes:
8001
    * create_dpkg utility
8002
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8003
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8004
      the package has been altered.
8005
 
8006
------------------------------------------------------------------------

8009
Major changes:
8010
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8011
      This is a WINCE target
8012
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8013
 
8014
    * New toolset
8015
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8016
 
8017
    * Modified toolset
8018
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8019
 
8020
    * Modified toolset
8021
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8022
 
8023
Minor changes:
8024
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8025
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8026
 
8027
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8028
 
8029
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8030
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8031
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8032
 
8033
      The change allows the construct
8034
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8035
      to be replaced by the simpler
8036
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8037
 
8038
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8039
      specified name.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8060
Major changes:
8061
    * The "package.pl" file.
8062
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8063
      package name being taken from the build name
8064
 
8065
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8066
      package Build Name.
8067
 
8068
Minor changes:
8069
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
8079
      Correct two common situations
8080
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8081
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8082
           ansi, but is often done.
8083
 
8084
    * GCC toolset
8085
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8086
      being created in the correct place.
8087
 
8088
    * jats "label"
8089
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8090
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8091
 
8092
 
8093
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8095
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8096
Major changes:
8097
 
8098
Minor changes:
8099
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8100
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8101
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8102
 
8103
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8104
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8105
 
8106
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8107
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8108
      package was not being transferred.

8113
Major changes:
8114
    * Support for solaris_i386
8115
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8116
      binaries for this target.
8117
 
8118
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8119
      with the GCC compiler.
8120
 
8121
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8122
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8123
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8124
 
8125
Minor changes:
8126
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8127
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8128
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8129
 
8130
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8131
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8136
Major changes:
8137
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8138
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8139
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8140
 
8141
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8142
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8143
 
8144
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8145
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8146
      with either " or ' characters.
8147
 
8148
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8149
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8150
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8151
 
8152
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8153
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8154
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8155
 
8156
    * Jats wrapper
8157
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8158
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8159
      further commands.
8160
 
8161
Minor changes:
8162
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8163
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8164
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8165
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8166
 
8167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8168
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8169
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8170
Major changes:
8171
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8172
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8173
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8174
 
8175
      These options operation affect all components within the
8176
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8177
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8178
 
8179
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8180
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8181
 
8182
Minor changes:
8183
 
8184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8185
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8187
Major changes:
8188
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8189
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8190
 
8191
Minor changes:
8192
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8193
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8194
 
8195
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8196
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8197
 
8198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8199
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8201
Major changes:
8202
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8203
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8204
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8205
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8206
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8207
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8208
      installed.
8209
 
8210
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8211
      libraries that depend on each other.
8212
 
8213
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8214
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8215
 
8216
Minor changes:
8217
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8218
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8219
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8220
 
8221
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8222
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8223
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8224
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8225
 
8226
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8227
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8229
Major changes:
8230
 
8231
Minor changes:
8232
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8233
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8234
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8235
      file.
8236
 
8237
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8238
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8239
 
8240
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8241
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8242
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8243
 
8244
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8245
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8246
 
8247
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8248
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8249
 
8250
    * WinCE toolsets
8251
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8252
      compiler specific libraries.
8253
 
8254
    * SOLARIS toolset
8255
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8256
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8257
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8258
 
8259
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8260
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8261
      cleaned up.
8262
 
8263
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8264
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8265
 
8266
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8267
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8268
      with either " or ' characters.
8269
 
8270
 
8271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8272
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8274
Major changes:
8275
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8276
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8277
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8278
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8279
 
8280
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8281
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8282
 
8283
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8284
      user.
8285
 
8286
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8287
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8288
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8289
 
8290
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8291
      for the   -Gf option.
8292
 
8293
Minor changes:
8294
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8295
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8296
 
8297
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8298
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8299
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8300
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8301
 
8302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8303
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8305
Major changes:
8306
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8307
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8308
 
8309
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8310
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8311
      data addresses for the board.
8312
 
8313
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8314
 
8315
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8316
 
8317
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8318
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8319
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8320
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8321
         PackageFile
8322
 
8323
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8324
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8325
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8326
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8327
 
8328
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8329
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8330
      to be installed and packaged.
8331
 
8332
Minor changes:
8333
 
8334
    * cache_dpkg utility
8335
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8336
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8337
 
8338
    * label utility
8339
      New option -auto to create and label
8340
 
8341
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8342
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8343
 
8344
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8345
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8346
      directory. ie:
8347
 
8348
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8349
 
8350
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8351
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8352
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8353
 
8354
 
8355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8356
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8358
Major changes:
8359
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8360
 
8361
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8362
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8363
 
8364
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8365
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8366
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8367
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8368
 
8369
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8370
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8371
      compilation.
8372
 
8373
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8374
 
8375
Minor changes:
8376
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8377
      one is being produced.
8378
 
8379
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8380
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8381
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8382
 
8383
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8384
 
8385
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8386
 
8387
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8388
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8389
 
8390
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8391
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8392
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8393
Major changes:
8394
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8395
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8396
 
8397
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8398
 
8399
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8400
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8401
      same directory
8402
 
8403
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8404
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8405
      documenattion.
8406
 
8407
Minor changes:
8408
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8409
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8410
 
8411
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8412
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8413
 
8414
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8415
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8416
 
8417
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8418
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8419
 
8420
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8421
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8422
      be exempt from this test.
8423
 
8424
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8425
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8426
 
8427
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8428
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8429
 
8430
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8431
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8432
      does.
8433
 
8434
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8435
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8436
 
8437
 
8438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8439
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8441
Major changes:
8442
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8443
 
8444
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8445
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8446
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8447
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8448
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8449
 
8450
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8451
      operations.
8452
 
8453
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8454
 
8455
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8456
 
8457
Minor changes
8458
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8459
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8460
 
8461
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8462
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8463
      directory is not added to the library path.
8464
 
8465
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8466
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8467
 
8468
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8469
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8470
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8471
 
8472
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8473
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8474
      specific flags.
8475
 
8476
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8477
 
8478
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8479
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8480
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8481
 
8482
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8483
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8484
      JATS.
8485
 
8486
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8487
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8488
 
8489
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8490
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8491
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8492
 
8493
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8494
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8495
 
8496
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8497
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8498
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8499
 
8500
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8501
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8502
 
8503
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8504
 
8505
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8506
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8507
 
8508
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8509
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8510
      objects.
8511
 
8512
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8513
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8514
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8515
      build defendants.
