693
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
694
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
695
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
696
      build errors.
697
 
698
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
699
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
700
 
701
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
702
      Shorthand for
703
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
704
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
705
 
706
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
707
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
708
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
709
      Examples: 
710
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
711
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
712
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
713
 
714
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
715
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
716
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
717
 
718
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
719
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
720
      build system.
721
 
722
Experimental:
723
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
724
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
725
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

731
 
732
Minor changes:
733
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
734
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
735
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

740
 
741
Minor changes:
742
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
743
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
744
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
745
 
746
    * Build Files
747
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
748
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
749
 
750
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
751
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
752
 
753
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
754
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
755
 
756
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
757
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
758
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
759
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
760
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
761
 
762
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
763
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
764
     different architectures.
765
 
766
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
767
     are directed to one or more machines.
768
 
769
     Intended uses:
770
        Windows: Creating installers. 
771
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
772
 
773
       All: Specialized packaging.
774
 
775
    * Makefiles
776
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
777
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
778
      Eg:
779
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
780
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
781
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
782
      It could also have been written as:
783
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
784
      but NOT as:
785
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
786
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
787
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
788
 
789
    * Utility: sandbox
790
      Subcommand info 
791
        - Added option to test fingerprints

      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
802
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
803
 
804
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
805
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
806
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
807
 
808
    * GenerateFiles directive
809
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
810

    * Utility: sandbox
812
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
813

829
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
830
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
831
 
832
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
833
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
834
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
835
      machine may build the toolset.
836
 
837
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
838
      platform.

859
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
860
 
861
    * Utility: escrow
862
      Added -skim option
863
 
864
    * Utility: sandbox
865
      Many improvements:
866
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
867
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
868
 
869
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
870
 
871
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
872
        if an error is detected.
873
 
874
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
875
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
876
 
877
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
878
        skipped during the build.
879
 
880
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

889
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
890
 
891
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support

      [JATS-266] jats install and package - does not preserve symbolic links
5885 dpurdie 1071
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 1072
      the library: link and soname.
1073
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not

1592
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1593
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1594
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1595
 
1596
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1597
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1598
      duplicates corrected.
1599
 
1600
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1601
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1602
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1603
 
1604
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1605
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1606
      displayed at the end of the build process.

1796
 
4688 dpurdie 1797
    * EnvVars
1798
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1799
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1800
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1801
 
1802
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1803
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1804
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1805
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1806
 
1807
    * Jats caching
1808
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1809
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

1833
Minor changes:
1834
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1835
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1836
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1837
 
1838
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1839
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1840
 
1841
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1842
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
1843
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
1844
 
1845
    * Jats Internal: Database access
1846

2182
      Subversion instance of the command.

2218
Major changes:
2219
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2220
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2221
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2222
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2223
 
2224
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2225
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2235
Minor changes:
2236
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2237
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2238
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2239
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2240
      line.
2241
 
2242
    * Jats Configuration
2243
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2244
 
2245
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2246
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2247
      and Linux.
2248
 
2249
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2250
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
2256
 
2257
Minor changes:
2258
    * Jats Core
2259
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2260
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2261
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2262
 
2263
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2264
      Used only by the build daemons.
2265
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2266
 
2267
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2268
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2269
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2274
Major changes:
2275
 
2276
Minor changes:
2277
    * svnrelease utility
2278
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2279
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2280
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2281
 
2282
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2283
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2284
      the named tag.
2285
 
2286
    * svnrelease utility
2287
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2288
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2299
        covered by the makefile.
2300
 
2301
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2302
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2303
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2304
 
2305
    * ALL Toolsets
2306
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2307
 
2308
    * Utility vcsdiff
2309
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2310
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2311
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
2320
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2321
      directory of the tag.
2322
 
2323
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2324
      repository.
2325
 
2326
    * Subversion Support
2327
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2328
      showing the user what to do.
2329
 
2330
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2331
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2332
      we have build support for this target.
2333
 
2334
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2335
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2336
 
2337
Internal:
2338
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2339
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2340
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2341
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
2356
 
2357
Minor changes:
2358
    * Makefile generation
2359
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2360
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2361
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2362
      of warnings.
2363
 
2364
    * Makefile Generation
2365
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2366

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2374
Major changes:
2375
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2376
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2377
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2378
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2379
 
2380
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2381
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2382
      windows path scheme.
2383
 
2384
Minor changes:
2385
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2386
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2387
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2388
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2389
 
2390
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2391
        jats make clobber
2392
      This operates as before.
2393
 
2394
    * Utility: escrow
2395
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2396
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2397
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2398
 
2399
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2400
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2401
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2402
 
2403
    * Utility: svn : url
2404
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2405
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2406
 
2407
    * Utility: svn : import
2408
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2409
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2410
 
2411
    * Subversion Support
2412
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2413
      showing the user what to do.
2414
 
2415
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2416
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2417
      repositories.

2422
 
2423
Minor changes:
2424
    * Jats build
2425
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2426
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2427
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2428
 
2429
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2430
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
2441
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2442
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2443
                 Can also display available branches.
2444
 
2054 dpurdie 2445
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2451
 
2452
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2453
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2454
      Modified two options:
2455
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2456
                        The named branch must not exist
2457
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2458
                        The named branch must exist
2459
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2468
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2469
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2470
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2493
 
2494
Major changes:
2495
    * Jats Version Number
2496
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2497
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2498
      significantly.

Major changes:
2511
    * Subversion support
2512
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2513
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2514
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2515
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2516
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2517
 
2518
Minor changes:
2519
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2520
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2521
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2522
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2523
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2524
 
2525
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2526
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2527
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2528
 
2529
    * Linux support utilities
2530
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2531
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
2532
      Used to support backtracing within unit tests.

Major changes:
2538
    * Subversion Repository location
2539
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2540
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2541
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2542
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2543
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2544
 
2545
Minor changes:
2546
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2547
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2548
 
2549
    * Utility: svnrelease
2550
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2551
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2552
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2553
 
2554
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2555
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2556
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2557
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2558
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2559
 
2560
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2561
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2562
 
2563
    * Utility: sandbox
2564
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2565
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2566
 
2567
      Subcommand: populate
2568
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2569
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2570
      sandbox.
2571
 
2572
    * Subversion Support
2573
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2574
      repository is not supported.
2575
 
2576
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2577

2632
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2633
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2634
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2635
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2636
 
2637

2660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2661
Major changes:
2662
 
2663
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2664
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2665
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2666
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2667
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2668
 
2669
    * C# Toolchain
2670
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

2680
 
2681
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2682
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2683
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2684
 
2685
    * Utility ccrelease
2686
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2687
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2688
 
2689
    * Utility: svn
2690
      Improved package import processing.
2691
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
2692
 
2693
    * Jats Utility: gen_cots
2694
      Added support for Subversion.
2695
      Subversion is supported on Windows and Unix.

      ClearCase is supported on Windows.
2697
 
2698
    * Jats Utility: vcsdiff
2699
      New Utility. Will diff two versions of a package. Supports
2700
      mixed ClearCase and Subversion versions.
2701
      Under windows it can invoke BeyondCompare
2702
      Under Windows and Unix it can perform a MD5 check over both directories.

2718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2719
Major changes:
2720
 
2721
Minor changes:
2722
    * Command: jats clobber
2723
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2724
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2725
 
2726
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2727
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2728
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2729
 
2730
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2731
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2732
 
377 dpurdie 2733
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2734
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2735
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2736
 
2737
    * jats svnlabel
2738
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2739
 
2740
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2741
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2742
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2743
 
2744
    * Built Daemon support
2745
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2746
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2747

373 dpurdie 2749
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2751
Major changes:
2752
    * GCC Toolset
2753
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2754
      New methodology is:
2755
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2756
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2757
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2758
        as the main binary.
2759
 
2760
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2761
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2762
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2763
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2764
      both worlds.
2765
 
2766
Minor changes:
2767
    * HTML Documentation
2768
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2769
 
2770
Internal changes:
2771

2777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2778
Major changes:
2779
    * Jats Sandbox
2780
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2781
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2782
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2783
 
2784
    * RIORDS Platform
2785
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
2786

2805
 
2806
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
2807
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
2808
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2809
 
2810
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2811
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2812
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2813
      a vob.
2814
 
2815
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

2843
 
2844

2849
    * Jats startup
2850
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible

2852
      in inaccessible directory.
2853

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
2880
      the clearcase label.
2881

Major changes:
2891
    * New toolset: ARM251
2892
 
2893
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2894
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
2895
 
2896
Minor changes:
2897
    * HTML Help
2898
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2899
 
2900
    * jats build -noforce
2901
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2902
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2903
      be forced.
2904
 
2905
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2906
 
2907
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2908
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2909
 
2910
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2911
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2912
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2913
 
2914
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2915
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2916
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2917
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2918
 
2919
    * Utility: svnrelease
2920
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2921
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2922
 
2923
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2924
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2925
 
2926
    * Utility: svn
2927
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
2928
      installed and can be used.
2929
 
2930
    * Toolset: CSharp
2931
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
2932
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
2933
      character.
2934
 
2935
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2936
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2937
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2938
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2939
      masking an error.
2940
 
2941
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2942
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
2943
      enhancement.
2944
 
2945
    * Toolset: dafbr
2946
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
2947
 
2948
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
2949
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
2950
        - Return correct path to package
2951
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
2952
 
2953
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
2954
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
2955
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
2956
 
2957
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
2958
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
2959
      packages.
2960
 
2961
    * make command: show
2962
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
2963
      'jats make show' command.
2964
 
2965
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2966
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
2967
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
2968
 
2969
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
2970
      executed on Unix machines.

3329
 
3330
Minor changes:
3331
    * Jats label command
3332
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3333
      Not recommended for general use.
3334
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3335
      directories within the current view.
3336
 
3337
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3338
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3339
      elsewhere.
3340
 
3341
    * Jats save_build
3342
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3343
      the determination of a branch.
3344
 
3345
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3346
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3347
 
3348
    * Jats build
3349
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3350
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3351
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3352
 
3353
    * Borland6 toolset
3354

3356
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3357
 
3358
    * Jats build
3359
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3360
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3361
      This is a very quick operation.
3362
 
3363
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3364
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3365
 
3366
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3367
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3368
      files are only recreated if need be.
3369
 
3370
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3371
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3372
      make the package.
3373
 
3374
    * Jats sandbox
3375
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3376
 
3377
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3378
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3379
 
3380
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3381
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3382
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3383
      is performed.
3384
 
3385
Internal:

3419
Major changes:
3420
 
3421
Minor changes:
3422
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3423
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3424
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3425
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3426
 
3427
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3428
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3429
 
3430
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3431
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3432
      platform builds.
3433
 
3434
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3435
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3436
      directory tree.
3437
 
3438
    * New command: jats man

323 dpurdie 3450
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3452
Major changes:
3453
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3454
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3455
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3456
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3457
 
3458
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3459
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3460
 
3461
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3462
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3463
 
3464
      Examples:
3465
            jats upddep -show
3466
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3467
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3468
 
3469
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3470
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3471
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3472
 
3473
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3474
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3475
 
3476
Minor changes:
3477
 
3478
Internal changes:
3479
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3485
Major changes:
3486
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3487
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3488
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3489
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3490
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3491
      stream.
3492
 
3493
      Example:
3494
 
3495
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3496
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3497
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3498
                     );
3499
Minor changes:
3500
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3501
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3502
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3503
      directive.
3504
 
3505
    * GCC Toolkit
3506
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3507
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3508
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3509
      the point of termination.
3510
 
3511
    * Jats save_build utility
3512
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3513
      under windows.
3514
 
3515
    * Jats sandbox
3516
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3517
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3518
      in different sandboxes.
3519
 
3520
    * Jats release
3521
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3522

Minor changes:
3529
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3530
      Added -locatedir=name
3531
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3532
      directory.
3533
 
3534
    * jats label utility
3535
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3536
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3537
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3538
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3539
 
3540
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3541

3547
Minor changes:
3548
    * WinCe Toolsets
3549
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3550
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3551
        noExceptions            - Disable
3552
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3553
      Example:
3554
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3555
 
3556
    * Solaris targets
3557
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3558
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3559
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3560
      machine type.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3565
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3566
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3567
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3568
      project files.
3569
 
3570
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3571
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3572
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3573
 
3574
Minor changes:
3575
    * Added more internal documentation
3576
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3577
 
3578
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3579
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3580
 
3581
    * Jats save_build utility
3582
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3583
      under windows.
3584
 
3585
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3586
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3587
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3588
      libraries.
3589
 
3590
    * Solaris builds
3591
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3592
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3593
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3594
      of the build failure.
3595
 
3596
 
3597
Internal changes:
3598
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3599
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3600
 
3601
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3602
      PkgArchive topics.

3606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3607
Major changes:
3608
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3609
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3610
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3611
      existing 32-bit builds.
3612
 
3613
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3614
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3615
 
3616
Minor changes:
3617
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3618
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3619
 
3620
    * Package searching
3621
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3622
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3623
 
3624
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3625
 
3626
    * jats help
3627
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3628
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3629
 
3630
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3631
      with one of:
3632
        jats -h
3633
        jats help jats
3634
 
3635
Internal:
3636
    * cmdfile utility
3637
      Added macros:
3638
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3639
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3640
 
3641
      Corrected
3642
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3643
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3644
 
3645
      Extended
3646
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3647
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3648
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3649
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
3659
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3660
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3661
      Useful side effects include:
3662
 
3663
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3664
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3665
 
3666
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3667
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3668
 
3669
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3670
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3671
        BuildPkgArchive
3672
 
313 dpurdie 3673
    * Perl Modules
3674
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3675
      release. This will:
3676
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3677
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3678
          reported by ERG.
3679
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3688
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3689
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3690
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3691
 
3692
    * Jats label utility
3693
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3694
 
3695
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3696
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3697
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3698
 
3699
    * Jats core
3700
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3701
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3702
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3711
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3712
      This is now fixed.
3713
 
309 dpurdie 3714
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3715
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3716
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3717
 
3718
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005

    * Generating makefiles
3728
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3729
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3730
      an error.
3731
 
3732
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3733
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3734

3744
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3745
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3746
 
3747
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3748
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3749
 
3750
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3751
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3752
      Support includes
3753
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3754
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3755
 
3756
Minor changes:
3757
    * Build file processing
3758
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3759
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3760
 
3761
    * MOS builds
3762
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3763
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3764
 
3765
    * MOS builds
3766
      New 'known' product: PICP
3767
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3768
 
3769
    * GenerateFiles directive
3770
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3771
        under windows.
3772
 
3773
        .
3774
 
3775
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3776
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3777
 
3778
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3779
      to the output stream.
3780
 
3781
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3782
 
3783
    * Windows Shell
3784
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3785
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3786
 
3787
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3788
 
3789
    * H8S toolset
3790
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3791
 
3792
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3793
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3794
 
3795
Internal changes
3796
    * WinCe builds
3797
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3798
      content of the file.
3799
 
3800
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3801
 
3802
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3803
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3815
Major changes:
3816
 
3817
Minor changes:
3818
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3819
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3820
      Changes are transparent to users.
3821
 
3822
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3823
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3824
      this occurs.
3825
 
3826
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3827
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3828
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3829
      automated build framework.
3830
 
3831
    * jats sandbox command
3832
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3833
      'create' command.
3834
 
3835
    * jats command aliases. Added
3836
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3837
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3842
Major changes:
3843
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3844
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3845
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3846
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3847
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3848
      will work as expected
3849
 
3850
Minor changes:
3851
    * VS2008 Toolset
3852
      Picking up incorrect config details
3853
      May result in a warning message.
3854
 
3855
    * gen_cots utility
3856
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3857
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3858
 
3859
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3860
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

3907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3908
Major changes:
3909
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3910
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3911
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3912
 
3913
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3914
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3915
 
3916
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3917
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3918
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3919
           names cannot be changed.
3920
 
3921
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3922
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3923
 
3924
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3925
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3926
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3927
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3928
 
3929
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3930
      file.
3931
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3932
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3933
      MyPackage.dpk.
3934
 
3935
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3936
      file.
3937
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3938
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3939
      MyDll.dpr.
3940
 
3941
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3942
      file.
3943
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3944
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3945
      MyProg.dpr.
3946
 
3947
Minor changes:
3948
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3949
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3950
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3951
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3952
 
3953
    * BuildVersion directive
3954
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3955
      in a Delphi Unit.
3956
 
3957
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
3958
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
3959
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
3960
      'know' the location of the files.
3961
 
3962
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
3963
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
3964
 
3965
Internal Changes:
3966
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
3967
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
3968
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
3969
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
3970
 
3971
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
3972
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
3973
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

287 dpurdie 3976
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
3977
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3978
Major changes:
3979
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
3980
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
3981
      information for purely C++ builds.
3982
 
289 dpurdie 3983
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
3984
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 3985
 
289 dpurdie 3986
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
3987
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
3988
            Manager
287 dpurdie 3989
 
3990
Minor changes:
3991
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
3992
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
3993
 
3994
    * updatenodespec utility
3995
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
3996
      Manager database.

4019
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4020
 
4021
Minor changes:
4022
    * MergeLibrary directive
4023
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4024
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4025

Minor changes:
4033
    * New command: jats make show
4034
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4035
      used in the build.
4036
 
4037
    * Escrow command
4038
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4039
 
4040
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4041
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4042
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4043
 
4044
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4045
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4046

277 dpurdie 4049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4050
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4051
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4052
 
279 dpurdie 4053
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4054
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4055
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4056
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4057
 
4058
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4059
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4060
 
4061
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4062
 
4063
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4064
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4065
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4066
 
4067
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4068
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4069
        processed.
4070
 
4071
      Removed the '-delete' option
4072
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4073
 
277 dpurdie 4074
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4075
    * Sandbox command
4076
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4077
 
4078
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4079
      target from consideration in the build set.
4080
 
4081
    * MCR Toolset
4082
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4083
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4084
 
4085
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4086
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4087
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4088
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4089
 
4090
    * Jats run_test command
4091
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4092
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4093
 
4094
    * descpkg file
4095
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4096
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4097
 
4098
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4099
     Now contains build trace information
4100
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4101
 
4102
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4103
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4104
     it contains 'jar' files.
4105
 
4106
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4107
 
4108
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4109
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4110
 
4111
   * BuildVersion directive
4112
     Form:
4113
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4114
     now works as expected.
4115
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4116
 
4117
Internal Changes:
4118
 
4119
    * Error reporting mechanism
4120
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4121
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4122
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

Minor changes:
277 dpurdie 4131
  * Jats Wrapper
4132
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4133
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4134
    then starts.
4135
 
4136
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4137
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4138
 
4139
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4140
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4141
    non-platform option.
4142
 
279 dpurdie 4143
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4307
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4308
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4309
 
4310
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

Major changes:
4537
 
4538
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4539
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4540
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4541
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4542
 
4543
Minor changes:
4544
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4545
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4546
 
4547
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4548
      some windows tools.

Version:  2.76.0000.cr                               Released: 24-Jun-08
4552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4553
Major changes:
4554
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4555
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4556
 
4557
      New platforms:
4558
        CSHARP2005
4559
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4560
         Support extends to allow:
4561
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4562
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4563
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4564
 
4565
        VS2005
4566
         Support extends to allow:
4567
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4568
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4569
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4570
 
4571
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4572
      through a version selector:
4573
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4574
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4575
 
4576
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4577
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4578
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4579
 
4580
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4581
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4582
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4583
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4584
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4585
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4586
          under VS2005.
4587
 
4588
Minor changes:
4589
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4590
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4591
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4592
 
4593
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4594
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4595
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4596
 
4597
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4598
 
4599
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4600
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4601
 
4602
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4603
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4604
      a minimal value of perl.
4605
 
4606
      Removed excessive require statements.
4607
 
4608
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4609
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4610
      Include JATS specific files for
4611
        1) Windows
4612
        2) Linux
4613
 
4614
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4615
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4616
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4617
      machines.
4618
 
4619
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4620
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4621
 
4622
    * JATS Environment
4623
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4624
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4625
 
4626
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4627
      wrapper scripts.
4628
 
4629
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4630
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4631
      Spell check help and code.

      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4660
      was added.
4661
 
4662
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4663
      reviewing a new package.
4664
 
4665

4684
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4685
  * New toolset and platform
4686
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4687
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4688
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4689
    this platform.
4690
 
4691
Minor changes:
4692
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4693
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4694
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4695
    work.
4696
 
4697
  * Jats utility: release
4698
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4699
    published to dpkg_archive.
4700
 
249 dpurdie 4701
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4702
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4703
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4704
    supported for ANT builds.
4705
 
4706
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4707
        releasemanager.releasename
4708
        releasemanager.projectname
4709
 
4710
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4711
    tagged data item of the form
4712
 
4713
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4714
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4715
 
4716
  * Mug File Generation
4717
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4718
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4719
 
4720
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4721
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4722
    required.
4723
 
4724
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4725
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4726
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4727
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4728
    the files in order to use them.
4729
 
4730
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4731
    locate the file.
4732
 
4733
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4734
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4735
 
4736
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4737
        * CSharp
4738
        * Properties
4739
        * WinRC
4740
 
4741
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4742
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4743
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4744
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4749
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4750
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4751
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4752
 
4753
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4754
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4755
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4756
 
4757
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4758
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4759
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4760
 
4761
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4762
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4763
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4764
 
4765
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4766
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4767
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4768
    correct.
4769
 
4770
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4771
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4772
 
4773
Minor changes:
4774
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4775
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4776
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4777
 
4778
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4779
    This will simplify new user setup.
4780
 
4781
  * All Unix Toolsets
4782
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4783
    on unix systems
4784
 
4785
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4786
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4787
    on some Solaris Machines.
4788
 
4789
  * JATS -version=<version>
4790
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4791
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4792

4835
 
4836
  * JATS builds
4837
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

4839
    mode.
4840
 
4841
  * JATS makefiles
4842
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4843
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4844
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4845
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4846
                            SetList directive.
4847
 
4848

4857
  * JATS buildfile processing
4858
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
4859
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
4860
    of JATS.
4861

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
4937
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
4938
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 4939
 
235 dpurdie 4940
      In this release there is no support for native compilation and linking.

    * Extract/Release utility.
4946
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
4947
      that can handle spaces
4948
 
4949
    * MOS Compiler
4950
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
4951
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4952
 
4953
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4954
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4955
      descpkg files to be copied.
4956
 
4957
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
4958
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

4992
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 4993
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
4994
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
4995
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
4996
 
4997
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
4998
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
4999
 
5000
    * Jats wrapper
5001
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5002
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5003
 
5004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5005
Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5007
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5008
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5009
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5010
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5011
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5012
 
5013
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5014
 
5015
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5016
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5017
 
5018
    * Running Jats
5019
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5020
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5021
      This may affect some windows developers.
5022
 
5023
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5024
      Future versions will generate an error.
5025
 
5026
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5027
 
5028
Minor changes:
5029
    * Perl Version Check
5030
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5031
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5032
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5033
 
5034
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5035
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5036
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5037
      build.
5038
 
5039
    * Jats Internals
5040
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5041
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5042
 
5043
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5044
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5045
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5046
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5047
      process.
5048
 
5049
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5050
      Only works under Windows.
5051
 
5052
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5053
 
5054
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5055
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5056
 
5057
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5058
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5059
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5060
 
5061
    * Jats eprog
5062
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5063
      directory.
5064
 
5065
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5066
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5067
      build metrics.
5068
 
5069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
227 dpurdie 5070

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5072
Major changes:
5073
 
5074
Minor changes:
5075
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5076
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5077
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5078
      automated build system. New options are:
5079
        -pname=Package_Name
5080
        -pversion=Package_Version
5081
 
5082
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5083
      transferring the package. New options are:
5084
        -test
5085
 
5086
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5087
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5088
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5089
 
5090
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5091
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5092
 
5093
    * Solaris Toolset
5094
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5095
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5096
      programs are still supported.
5097

5099
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
5100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5101
Major changes:
5102
 
5103
Minor changes:
5104
    * WINCE toolsets
5105
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5106
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5107
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5108
      when header files cannot be found.
5109
 
5110
    * GenerateFiles directive
5111
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5112
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5113
      that are difficult to solve.
5114
 
5115
    * MakePerlModule directive
5116
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5117
      to the the module builder.
5118
 
5119
    * Jats Tool: label
5120
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5121
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5122
      -dirs=xxx options.
5123
 
5124
    * Jats Tool: release
5125
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5126
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5127
 
5128
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5129
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5130
 
5131
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5132
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5133
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5134
 
5135
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5141
Major changes:
5142
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5143
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5144
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5145
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5146
 
5147
Minor changes:
5148
    * label utility
5149
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5150
 
5151
    * make package and install operations
5152
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5153
      transfer.
5154
 
5155
    * make clean up
5156
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5157
 
5158
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5159
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5160
      minor file transformations such as:
5161
        Copy, with optional rename
5162
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5163
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5164
 
5165
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5166
 
5167
    * jats release utility
5168
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5169
      in place.
5170
 
5171
    * escrow utility
5172
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5173
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
5181
    * Makefile generation
5182
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5183
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5184
      generate phase early.
5185
 
5186

5189
Major changes:
5190
 
5191
Minor changes:
5192
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5193
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5194
 
5195
    * Makefile generation
5196
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5197
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5198
 
5199
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5200
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5201
 
5202
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5203
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5204
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5205
 
5206
    * jats_rewrite utility
5207
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5208
 
5209
    * jats escrow utility
5210
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5211
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5212
 
5213
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5214
      inconsistent packages.
5215
 
5216
    * jats make help
5217
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5218
      available within the current build.
5219
 
5220
    * jats makefiles
5221
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5222
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5223
 
5224
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5225
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5226
 
5227
    * gcc toolset
5228
      SharedLibries.
5229
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5230
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5231
 
5232
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5233
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5234
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5235
 
5236
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5237
        New options:
5238
            --MultiScan
5239
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5240
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5241
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5247
Major changes:
5248
 
5249
Minor changes:
5250
    PackageLib directive
5251
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5252
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5253
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5254
 
5255
    MakefileGenerate directive
5256
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5257
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5258
 
5259
    Multiple Parent detection
5260
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5261
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5262
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5263
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5264
 
5265
    Solaris Toolset
5266
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5267
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5268
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5269
    link.
5270
 
5271
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5272
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5273
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5274
 
5275
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5276
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5277
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5278
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5283
Major changes:
5284
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5285
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5286
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5287
 
5288
    Summary of changes:
5289
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5290
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5291
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5292
          flexibility.
5293
 
5294
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5295
 
5296
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5297
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5298
          interface directory and associated build information.
5299
 
5300
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5301
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5302
          than one second.
5303
 
5304
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5305
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5306
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5307
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5308
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5309
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5310
 
5311
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5312
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5313
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5314
 
5315
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5316
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5317
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5318
          building them.
5319
 
5320
        - Detection of build file changes
5321
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5322
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5323
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5324
 
5325
        - Quieter make output
5326
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5327
 
5328
 
5329
Minor changes:
5330
    MakeAnt Directive
5331
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5332
 
5333
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5334
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5335
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5336
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5337
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5338
 
5339
    CSHARP toolset
5340
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5341

Minor changes:
5348
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5349
    are generated.
5350
 
5351
    MakeAnt
5352
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5353
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5354
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5355
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5356
 
5357
    MCR platform
5358
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.
5359
    This is a MOS binary and can be download to the MCR devices.

5365
 
5366
Minor changes:
5367
    MakeAnt directive extended
5368
    New option: --PackageBase
5369
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5370
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5371
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5372
 
5373
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5374
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5375
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5376
        package image being created.

5396
 
5397
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5398
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5399
 
5400
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5401
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5402
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5403
 
5404
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5405
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5406
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5407

5434
Minor changes:
5435
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5436
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5437
 
5438
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5439
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5440
      last.
5441
 
5442
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5443
 
5444
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5445
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5446
 
5447
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5448
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5449
 
5450
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5451
 
5452
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5453
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5454
 
5455
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5456
 
5457
 
5458
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5459
           with the --System option
5460
 
5461
    * LMOS target platform

5467
Major changes:
5468
 
5469
Minor changes:
5470
    * Solaris Toolset
5471
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5472
      dependent packages.
5473
 
5474
    * RunTest operation
5475
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5476
 
5477
    * Csharp toolkit
5478

5481
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5483
Major changes:
5484
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5485
 
5486
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5487
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5488
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5489
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5490
      path.
5491
 
5492
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5493
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5494
      reproducible.
5495
 
5496
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5497
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5498
 
5499
      There are several aspects to the change
5500
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5501
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5502
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5503
 
5504
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5505
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5506
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5507
          controlled separately.
5508
 
5509
Minor changes:
5510
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5511
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5512
        Remove duplicates
5513
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5514

5517
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5518
Major changes:
5519
 
5520
Minor changes:
5521
    * Makefile sanity test
5522
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5523
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5524
 
5525
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5526
      x86 machine.
5527
 
5528
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5529
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5530
 
5531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5532
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5534
Major changes:
5535
    * RunTest directive
5536
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5537
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5538
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5539
 
5540
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5541
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5542
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5543
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5544
 
5545
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5546
        builder within the current toolset.
5547
 
5548
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5549
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5550
 
5551
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5552
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5553
      containing the RunTest directive.
5554
 
5555
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5556
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5557
 
5558
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5559
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5560
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5561
 
5562
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5563
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5564
                            P or D suffix.
5565
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5566
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5567
 
5568
Minor changes:
5569
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5570
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5571
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5572
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5573
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5574
 
5575
    * Save Build Utility
5576
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5577
      used in a ripple build.
5578
 
5579
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5580
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5581
 
5582
    * Release Utility
5583
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5584
      when an error is encountered.
5585
 
5586
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5587
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5588
 
5589
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5590
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5591
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5592
 
5593
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5594
      before the makefiles are created.
5595
 
5596
    * TestProg directive
5597
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5598
 
5599
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5600
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5601

5605
Major changes:
5606
    * New build target
5607
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5608
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5609
 
5610
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5611
            DEVLINUX
5612
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5613
 
5614
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5615
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5616
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5617
 
5618
Minor changes:
5619
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5620
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5621
 
5622
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5623
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5624
 
5625
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5626
      and .cs files.
5627
 
5628
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5629
      thing.
5630
 
5631
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5632
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5633
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5634
      were it places temp files.
5635
 
5636
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5637
      interaction with other builds.
5638
 
5639
    * Release utility command
5640
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5641
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5642
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5710
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5711
 
5712
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5713
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5714
    build.
5715
 
5716
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5717
 
5718
  * Tool: escrow
5719
     New features
5720
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5721
     are not in the SBOM.
5722
 
5723
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5724
 
5725
     Specify packages to be ignored.
5726

5729
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5731
Major changes:
5732
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5733
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5734
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5735
 
5736
  * GenerateFiles
5737
    Added the options:
5738
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5739
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5740
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5741
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5742
 
5743
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5744
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5745
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5746
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5747
                                  required.
5748
 
5749
 
5750
Minor changes:
5751
  * GenerateFile directive
5752
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5753
 
5754
  * GCC Toolset
5755
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5756
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5757
    be rebuilt.
5758
 
5759
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5760
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5761
 
5762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5763
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5765
Major changes:
5766
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5767
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5768
    environment variables.
5769
 
5770
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5771
            moved.
5772
 
5773
    This will affect users that:
5774
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5775
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5776
 
5777
        2) Use the ABT system
5778
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5779
           the required configuration
5780
 
5781
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5782
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5783
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5784
    Windows
5785
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5786
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5787
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5788
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5789
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5790
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5791
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5792
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5793
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5794
 
5795
 
5796
  * New build platforms
5797
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5798
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5799
 
5800
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5801
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5802
 
5803
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5804
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5805
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5806
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5807
 
5808
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5809
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5810
    release.
5811
 
5812
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5813
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5814
 
5815
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5816
    need to be converted.
5817
 
5818
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5819
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5820
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5821
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5822
    used for different targets platforms.
5823
 
5824
  * Sandbox support
5825
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5826
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5827
 
5828
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5829
 
5830
Minor changes:
5831
 
5832
 
5833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5834
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5836
Major changes:
5837
  * MakeAnt directive
5838
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5839
 
5840
    New options
5841
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5842
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5843
 
5844
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5845
    run_unit_tests phase.
5846
 
5847
  * Sandbox support
5848
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5849
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5850
 
5851
Minor changes:
5852
  * jats build
5853
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5854
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5855
 
5856
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5857
 
5858
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5859
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5860
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5861
 
5862
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5863
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5864
 
5865
  * JATS.BAT
5866
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5867
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5868
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5869
 
5870
  * jats label
5871
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5872
 
5873
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5874
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Major changes:
5877
  * New build platform:
5878
        LMOS_TP5600
5879
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5880
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5881
 
5882
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5883
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5884
    describe the group of platforms.
5885
 
5886
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5887
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5888
    build these targets.
5889
 
5890
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5891
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5892
 
5893
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5894
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5895
 
5896
  * New build platform: WINCE
5897
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5898
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5899
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5900
 
5901
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5902
            WCEIT3000
5903
            WCEPA961
5904
            WCEPA962
5905
            WCEPCM7220
5906
            WCEPSION_420
5907
            WCEPSPC_arm
5908
            WCEPSPC_emu
5909
            WCEX86A420
5910
            WCEX86A500
5911
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5912
 
5913
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5914
 
5915
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5916
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5917
    that contain packaging directives.
5918
 
5919
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5920
    very unusual configurations.
5921
 
5922
Minor changes:
5923
  * Directive: PackageFile
5924
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5925
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5926
    an '='.
5927
 
5928
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5929
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5930
 
5931
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5932
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5933
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5934
 
5935
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5936
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5937
 
5938
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5939
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5940
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5941
Major changes:
5942
 
5943
  * JATS release command
5944
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5945
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5946
 
5947
    Rules are:
5948
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5949
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5950
                            File will be placed on a branch
5951
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5952
                            New directory will branch
5953
 
5954
Minor changes:
5955
  * JATS release command
5956
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5957
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
5958
 
5959
  * JATS label command
5960
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
5961
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
5962
 
5963
  * JATS make
5964
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
5965
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
5966
    was re-packaged.
5967
 
5968
  * JATS escrow
5969
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
5970
    Use jats escrow -help for details
5971
 
5972
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
5973
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
5974
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
5975
 
5976
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
5977
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
5978
    interface directory.
5979
 
5980
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
5981
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
5982
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
5983
    directory as seen by the package.
5984
 
5985
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
5986
 
5987
  * JAVA 6
5988
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
5989
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
5990
 
5991
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
5992
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
5993
 
5994
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
5995
 
5996
  * Jats command: vars
5997
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
5998
    These indicate potential problems.
5999
 
6000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6001
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6002
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6003
Major changes:
6004
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6005
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6006
    libarry is also created.
6007
 
6008
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6009
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6010
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6011
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6012
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6013
    information contained within the file.
6014
 
6015
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6016
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6017
 
6018
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6019
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6020
 
6021
  * Building Perl Modules
6022
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6023
    documentation on the build machine.
6024
 
6025
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6026
 
6027
Minor changes:
6028
  * jats create_dpkg
6029
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6030
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6031
 
6032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6033
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6035
Major changes:
6036
  * JATS JAVA build target
6037
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6038
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6039
 
6040
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6041
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6042
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6043
    is then picked up as the default version.
6044
 
6045
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6046
    build.pl file.
6047
 
6048
Minor changes:
6049
  * jats release
6050
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6051
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6052
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6053
 
6054
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6055
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6056
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6057
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6058
    the name of the view.
6059
 
6060
  * GenerateFiles directive
6061
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6062
 
6063
  * MOS Toolset
6064
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6065
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6066
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6067
 
6068
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6069
 
6070
 
6071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6072
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6074
Major changes:
6075
 
6076
Minor changes:
6077
  * JATS environment
6078
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6079
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6080
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6081
 
6082
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6083
 
6084
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6085
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6086
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6087
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6088
    to be packaged.
6089
 
6090
  * Generated makefiles
6091
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6092
 
6093
  * Generating MOS THX files
6094
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6095
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6096
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6097
 
6098
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6099
 
6100
  * JATS release
6101
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6102
 
6103
  * JATS extract
6104
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6105
 
6106
  * JATS Toolset
6107
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6108

6114
Major changes:
6115
 
6116
Minor changes:
6117
  * jats label
6118
    Added a -vob=name option
6119
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6120
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6121
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6122
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6123
 
6124
    Added a -user=name option
6125
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6126
    label to the named user.
6127
 
6128
  * jats release
6129
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6130
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6131
 
6132
  * JATS build.pl
6133
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6134
    ie:
6135
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

6139
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6141
Major changes:
6142
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6143
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6144
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6145
    the makefile internals. ie:
6146
        --Var(BuildName)
6147
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6148
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6149
 
6150
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6151
 
6152
  * GenerateFiles
6153
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6154
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6155
 
6156
  * BuildPlatforms
6157
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6158
 
6159
Minor changes:
6160
  * GCC Toolset
6161
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6162
 
6163
Internal changes:
6164
  * GenerateFiles
6165
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6166
 
6167
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6168
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6169
 
6170
 
6171
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6172
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6174
Major changes:
6175
  * Caching JATS
6176
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6177
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6178
 
6179
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6180
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6181
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6182
 
6183
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6184
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6185
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6186
 
6187
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6188
 
6189
Minor changes:
6190
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6191
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6192
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6193
 
6194
  * jats build
6195
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6196
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6197
    processed by the build.
6198
 
6199
  * jats build
6200
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6201
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6202
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6203
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6204
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6205
 
6206
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6207
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6208
    Path is not specified.
6209
 
6210
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6211
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6212
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6213
        --Dir=$Pinc
6214
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6215
 
6216
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6217
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6218
    Windows platform.
6219
 
6220
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6221
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6222
            by 'purecov.
6223
 
6224
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6225
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6226
 
6227
        - OPTIONS=purify
6228
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6229
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6230
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6231

6235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6236
Major changes:
6237
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6238
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6239
    Example:
6240
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6241
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6242
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6243
 
6244
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6245
    been determined.
6246
 
6247
Minor changes:
6248
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6249
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6250
    located at build-time.
6251
 
6252
  * Unix based systems
6253
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6254
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6255
 
6256
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6257
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6258
    driver being built.

6276
    dependancy information within a package.
6277
 
6278
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6279
    messages.

6291
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6292
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6293
                      be run on every invocation.

6302
  There are two mechanism:
6303
 
6304
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6305
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6306
 
6307
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6308
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6309
 
6310

6320
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6321
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6322
    It is based on machine type.
6323
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6324

6357
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6358
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6359
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6360
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6361
 
6362
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6363
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS

6430
    Theses are:
6431
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6432
        SOLARIS_AMD
6433

6456
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6457
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6458

6475
 
6476
  * JATS BIN directories
6477
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.

6479
    using autoconf.
6480
 
6481
  * Generate directive
6482
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6483
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.

    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6510
        SOLARIS
6511
        WIN32
6512
 
6513
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6514
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6515
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6516
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6517
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6518
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6519
 
6520
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6521
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6522
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6523
 
6524
 
6525
Minor changes:
6526
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6527
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6528
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6529
 
6530
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6531
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6532
    location
6533
 
6534
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6535
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6536
 
6537
  * Utility genrc
6538
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6539
 
6540
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6541
    Added option: -new
6542
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6543
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6544
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6545
 
6546
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6547
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6548
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6549
 
6550
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6551
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6552
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6553
 
6554
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6555
   features - in a uniform manner.
6556
 
6557
 
6558
Internal Changes:
6559
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6560
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6561
 
6562
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6563
        1) Platform information available at build time
6564
        2) Dynamic platform names
6565
 
6566
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6567
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6568
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6569
 
6570
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6571
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6572
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6573
 
6574
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6575
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6576
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6577
    needed.
6578
 
6579
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6580
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6581
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6582
    files from all of these.

6585
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6587
Major changes:
6588
 
6589
Minor changes:
6590
  * WinCE toolset
6591
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6592
 
6593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6594
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6596
Major changes:
6597
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6598
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6599
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6600
 
6601
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6602
 
6603
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6604
    the operations.
6605
 
6606
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6607
 
6608
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6609
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6610
 
6611
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6612
 
6613
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6614
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6615
 
6616
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6617
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6618
    Extended the built-in help
6619
    Added useful error messages
6620
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6621
 
6622
  * WinCE toolset
6623
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6624
 
6625
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6626
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6627
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6628
 
6629
Minor changes:
6630
  * JATS wrapper script
6631
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6632
    the command line.
6633
 
6634
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6635
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6636
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6637
 
6638
Internal Changes:
6639
  * Common Error Reporting
6640
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6641
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6642
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6643
    level.
6644
 
6645
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6646
    displayed.
6647
 
6648
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6649
 
6650
  * Added JatsSystem module
6651
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6653
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6654
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6655
Major changes:
6656
 
6657
Minor changes:
6658
  * BR Compiler toolset
6659
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6660
    .def files to include other files.
6661
 
6662
  * IAR toolset
6663
    Added AT7272 support
6664
 
6665
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6666
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6667
 
6668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6669
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6670
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6671
Major changes:
6672
 
6673
Minor changes:
6674
  * BR Compiler toolset
6675
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6676
    use.
6677
 
6678
 
6679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6680
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6682
Major changes:
6683
 
6684
Minor changes:
6685
  * Mictotec toolset
6686
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6687
    builds.
6688
 
6689
  * JATS Core
6690
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6691
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6692
    behaviour.
6693
 
6694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6695
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6697
Major changes:
6698
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6699
    Deployment package will be affected.
6700
 
6701
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6702
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6703
 
6704
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6705
 
6706
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6707
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6708
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6709
    packages.
6710
 
6711
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6712
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6713
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6714
 
6715
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6716
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6717
 
6718
Minor changes:
6719
  * SubDir directive
6720
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6721
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6722
 
6723
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6724
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6725
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6726
    of the file usage.
6727
 
6728
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6729
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6730
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6731
 
6732
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6733
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6734
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6735
 
6736
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6737
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6738
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6739
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6740
 
6741
 
6742
Internal Changes:
6743
  * Code refactor
6744
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6745
 
6746
  * Deployment utilities
6747
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6748
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6749
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6750
    the module can locate the file.
6751
 
6752
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6753
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6754
 
6755
  * JATS core
6756
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6757
 
6758
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6759
 
6760
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6761
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6762
    through the use of environment variables.
6763
 
6764
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6765
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6766
 
6767
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6768
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6769
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6770
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6771
 
6772
  * Make environment
6773
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6774
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6775
 
6776
 
6777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6778
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6780
Major changes:
6781
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6782
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6783
 
6784
 
6785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6786
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6788
 
6789
Not Released.
6790
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6791
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6792
 
6793
 
6794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6795
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6797
Major changes:
6798
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6799
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6800
    radically replaced.
6801
 
6802
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6803
    Usage:
6804
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6805
 
6806
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6807
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6808
    this solution:
6809
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6810
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6811
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6812
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6813
 
6814
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6815
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6816
    order to work.
6817
 
6818
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6819
    reduced functionality.
6820
 
6821
 
6822
Minor changes:
6823
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6824
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6825
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6826
 
6827
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6828
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6829
    within the makefiles.
6830
        Options:
6831
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6832
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6833
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6834
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6835
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6836
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6837
        Useage:
6838
 
6839
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6840
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6841
 
6842
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6843
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6844
    is not in the current directory.
6845
 
6846
  * Jats Command: ant'
6847
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6848
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6849
 
6850
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6851
 
6852
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6853
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6854
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6855
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6856
 
6857
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6858
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6859
    Thus
6860
 
6861
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6862
 
6863
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6864
 
6865
 
6866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6867
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6869
Major changes:
6870
 
6871
Minor changes:
6872
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6873
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6874
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6875
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6876
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6877
 
6878
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6879
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6880
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6881
 
6882
Internal changes:
6883
  * JATS toolsets
6884
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6885
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6886
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6887
 
6888
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6889
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6890
 
6891
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6892
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6894
Major changes:
6895
  * Jats command: etool
6896
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6897
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6898
 
6899
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6900
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6901
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6902
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6903
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6904
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6905
 
6906
Minor changes:
6907
 
6908
 
6909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6910
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6911
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6912
Major changes:
6913
  * JATS environment variables
6914
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6915
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6916
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6917
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6918
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6919
 
6920
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6921
              Remote repository
6922
 
6923
    Added GBE_DPLY
6924
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6925
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6926
 
6927
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6928
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6929
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6930
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6931
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6932
 
6933
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6934
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6935
 
6936
 
6937
Minor changes:
6938
  * JATS utility: build
6939
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6940
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6941
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6942
 
6943
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6944
    Ensure label is not locked
6945
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6946
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6947
 
6948
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6949
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6950
    to a specific type of build.
6951
 
6952
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6953
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6954
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6955
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6956
 
6957
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
6958
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
6959
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
6960
 
6961
  * JATS utility: release
6962
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
6963
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
6964
 
6965
  * JATS utility: label
6966
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
6967
    when it is being created.
6968
 
6969
Internal Changes
6970
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
6971
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
6972
 
6973
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
6974
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
6975
 
6976
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
6977
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
6978
    different results.
6979
 
6980
  * ToolsetRequire directive
6981
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
6982
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
6983
 
6984
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6985
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
6986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6987
Major changes:
6988
 
6989
  * MCR toolset
6990
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
6991
 
6992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6993
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
6994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6995
Major changes:
6996
  * WIN32 utilities
6997
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
6998
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
6999
 
7000
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7001
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7002
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7003
 
7004
Minor changes:
7005
  * BuildVersion
7006
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7007
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7008
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7009
 
7010
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7011
 
7012
  * Unix Builds
7013
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7014
    library or a shared library.
7015
 
7016
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7017
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7018
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7019
    start with 'lib'.
7020
 
7021
  * BuildPkgArchive
7022
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7023
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7024
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7025
 
7026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7027
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7029
Major changes:
7030
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7031
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7032
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7033
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7034
    being manually maintained.
7035
 
7036
 
7037
Minor changes:
7038
  * MakeAnt directive
7039
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7040
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7041
    supports ANT builds.
7042
 
7043
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7044
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7045
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7046
 
7047
  * Label utility
7048
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7049
    files to be labeled.
7050
 
7051
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7052
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7053
    on Solaris.
7054
 
7055
  * Generated makefiles
7056
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7057
    nothing.
7058
 
7059
  * MOS Toolset
7060
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7061
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7062
    modules.
7063
 
7064
  * Utility: gen_cots
7065
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7066
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7067
 
7068
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7069
 
7070
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7071
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7072
 
7073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7074
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7076
Major changes:
7077
  None
7078
 
7079
Minor changes:
7080
  * DEVI addressed
7081
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7082
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7083
 
7084
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7085
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7086
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7087
 
7088
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7089
 
7090
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7091
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7092
 
7093
  * RunTest directive
7094
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7095
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7096
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7097
 
7098
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7099
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7100
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7101
    packaged under JATS
7102
 
7103
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7104
          supported within JATS.
7105
 
7106
  * Jats utility wrapper
7107
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7108
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7109
 
7110
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7111
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7112
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7113
 
7114
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7115
    Eg: jats ant
7116
 
7117
  * Jats utility wrapper
7118
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7119
 
5710 dpurdie 7120
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7121
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7122
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7123
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7124
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7125
 
5710 dpurdie 7126
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7127
    expect a build.pl file.
7128
 
7129
  * Jats utility wrapper
7130
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7131
 
7132
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7133
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7134
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7135
 
7136
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7137
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7138
 
7139
  * Build files
7140
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7141
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7142
 
7143
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7144
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7146
Major changes:
7147
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7148
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7149
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7150
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7151
 
7152
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7153
 
7154
Minor changes:
7155
  * None
7156
 
7157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7158
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7160
Major changes:
7161
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7162
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7163
    ie:
7164
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7165
 
7166
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7167
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7168
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7169
    environments are compatible.
7170
 
7171
 
7172
Minor changes:
7173
  * BuildName option
7174
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7175
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7176
 
7177
  * jats.bat
7178
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7179
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7180
 
7181
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7182
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7184
Major changes:
7185
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7186
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7187
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7188
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7189
 
7190
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7191
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7192
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7193
 
7194
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7195
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7196
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7197
 
7198
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7199
    transferred.
7200
 
7201
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7202
    See notes below.
7203
 
7204
  * WIN32 toolset
7205
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7206
    correctly.
7207
 
7208
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7209
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7210
 
7211
  * BuildVersion
7212
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7213
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7214
    other langauges as needed.
7215
 
7216
 
7217
Minor changes:
7218
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7219
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7220
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7221
    version strings.
7222
 
7223
  * GenerateFiles directive
7224
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7225
    package or an imported package.
7226
 
7227
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7228
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7229
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7230
 
7231
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7232
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7233
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7234
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7235
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7236
 
7237
Internal Changes
7238
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7239
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7240
    of utilities.
7241
 
7242
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7243
    functions.
7244
 
7245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7246
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7248
Major changes:
7249
  * Generated makefiles
7250
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7251
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7252
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7253
 
7254
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7255
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7256
    incorrectly processing:
7257
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7258
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7259
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7260
    confused.
7261
 
7262
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7263
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7264
    The construct
7265
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7266
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7267
    then it works.
7268
 
7269
  * MakeAnt directive
7270
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7271
 
7272
    This option has the following effects
7273
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7274
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7275
 
7276
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7277
           early - in the generated files phase.
7278
 
7279
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7280
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7281
 
7282
 
7283
Minor changes:
7284
  * JATS post-installation script
7285
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7286
 
7287
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7288
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7289
    windows.
7290
 
7291
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7292
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7293
 
7294
  * Jats wrapper script
7295
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7296
        1) Contain spaces
7297
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7298
 
7299
  * Toolset
7300
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7301
 
7302
  * JAVA toolset
7303
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7304
    directive:
7305
 
7306
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7307
 
7308
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7309
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7310
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7311
 
7312
  * GCC Toolset
7313
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7314
 
7315
  * Makefile generation
7316
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7317
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7318
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7319
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7320
    package could not be used.
7321
 
7322
  * Unit Tests
7323
    The following environment variables are set:
7324
 
7325
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7326
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7327
 
7328
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7329
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7330
 
7331
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7332
 
7333
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7334
 
7335
 
7336
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7337
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7339
Major changes:
7340
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7341
 
7342
    Special features of this toolset.
7343
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7344
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7345
       incorporated within the target image.
7346
 
7347
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7348
       --Set=Name=Value
7349
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7350
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7351
 
7352
       --Ref=name
7353
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7354
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7355
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7356
                will be taken from the build version number.
7357
 
7358
Minor changes:
7359
  * MOS Toolset
7360
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7361
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7362
    packaged.
7363
 
7364
  * Src directive
7365
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7366
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7367
    specifier.
7368
 
7369
  * WIN32 runtime support
7370
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7371
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7372
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7373
 
7374
Internal:
7375
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7376
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7377
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7378
 
7379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7380
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7382
Major changes:
7383
    * BuildAlias directive
7384
      Added options.
7385
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7386
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7387
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7388
                          targets.
7389
      Eg:
7390
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7391
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7392
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7393
 
7394
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7395
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7396
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7397
 
7398
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7399
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7400
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7401
 
7402
 
7403
Minor changes:
7404
  * Label utility
7405
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7406
    build.pl file
7407
 
7408
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7409
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7410
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7411
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7412
    --FilterIn option.
7413
 
7414
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7415
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7416
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7417
 
7418
  * Location of descpkg file
7419
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7420
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7421
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7422
 
7423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7424
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7426
Major changes:
7427
  * RunTest directive
7428
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7429
    Additional options
7430
      --CopyIn=file
7431
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7432
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7433
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7434
        the test area.
7435
 
7436
    Additional operations
7437
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7438
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7439
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7440
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7441
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7442
    Allows flags:
7443
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7444
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7445
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7446
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7447
 
7448
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7449
    existence is tested.
7450
 
7451
  * Packaging Directives
7452
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7453
    such as LMOS.
7454
 
7455
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7456
 
7457
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7458
 
7459
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7460
 
7461
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7462
 
7463
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7464
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7465
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7466
 
7467
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7468
 
7469
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7470
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7471
 
7472
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7473
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7474
 
7475
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7476
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7477
 
7478
Minor changes:
7479
  * Script directive
7480
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7481
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7482
 
7483
  * JATS environment
7484
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7485
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7486
    the JATS wrapper script.
7487
 
7488
  * Label utility
7489
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7490
    There are three modes of operation:
7491
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7492
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7493
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7494
 
7495
 
7496
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7497
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7499
Major changes:
7500
 
7501
Minor changes:
7502
  * label utility
7503
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7504
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7505
 
7506
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7507
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7508
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7509
      --ProgLoader=name
7510
 
7511
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7512
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7513
    Options to do this are:
7514
        --TreeDir=name
7515
        --FilterOut=regexp
7516
        --FilterIn=regexp
7517
        --StripDir
7518
 
7519
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7520
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7521
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7522
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7523
 
7524
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7525
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7526
 
7527
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7528
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7529
 
7530
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7531
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7532
 
7533
 
7534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7535
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7537
Major changes:
7538
    * Make commands
7539
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7540
 
7541
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7542
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7543
 
7544
    * Label utility
7545
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7546
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7547
 
7548
Minor changes:
7549
    * Toolsets
7550
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7551
      variables and overrides.
7552
 
7553
      The make_init target is always run.
7554
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7555
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7556
 
7557
    * Deployment
7558
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7559
      with deployment operations.
7560
 
7561
    * Release utility
7562
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7563
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7564
      restricted by options within the build.
7565
 
7566
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7567
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7568
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7569
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7570
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7571
 
7572
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7573
      directives.
7574
 
7575
    * MakeProject directive
7576
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7577
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7578
 
7579
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7580
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7581
      is preserved.
7582
 
7583
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7584
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7585
      statements.
7586
 
7587
    * Mugfile generation
7588
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7589
      be placed in the target package.
7590
 
7591
 
7592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7593
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7595
Major changes:
7596
    * BuildVersion directive
7597
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7598
      number as well as a patch number.
7599
 
7600
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7601
      number.
7602
 
7603
Minor changes:
7604
    * AddFlags directives
7605
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7606
      duplicate flags being added.
7607
 
7608
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7609
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7610
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7611
 
7612
    * Mug File Generation
7613
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7614
 
7615
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7616
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7617
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7618
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7619
     directory.
7620
 
7621
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7622
     reproducible.
7623
 
7624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7625
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7627
Major changes:
7628
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7629
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7630
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7631
      longer a list of directories.
7632
 
7633
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7634
      done within the toolset.
7635
 
7636
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7637
 
7638
    * JATS environment variables
7639
      Redefined variable
7640
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7641
                          Previously was a list that included the
7642
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7643
 
7644
      New variable
7645
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7646
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7647
 
7648
 
7649
Minor changes:
7650
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7651
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7652
      target platforms to be extracted.
7653
 
7654
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7655
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7656
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7657
 
7658
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7659
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7660
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7661
 
7662
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7663
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7664
 
7665
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7666
      Support ANT based XML files
7667
 
7668
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7669
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7670
      structure.
7671
 
7672
    * makefile.pl's
7673
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7674
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7675
 
7676
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7677
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7678
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7679
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7680
 
7681
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7682
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7683
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7684
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7685
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7686
      -- Auto.
7687
 
7688
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7689
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7690
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7691
 
7692
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7693
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7694
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7695
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7696
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7697
 
7698
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7699
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7700
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7701
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7702
      installed on the machine.
7703
 
7704
    * WINCE Targets
7705
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7706
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7707
 
7708
 
7709
 
7710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7711
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7713
Major changes:
7714
    * WIN32 platforms
7715
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7716
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7717
      and installed packages.
7718
 
7719
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7720
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7721
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7722
 
7723
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7724
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7725
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7726
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7727
      searched when looking for libraries.
7728
 
7729
Minor changes:
7730
    * GenerateFiles directive
7731
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7732
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7733
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7734
                          and drive letter
7735
 
7736
    * Src directive
7737
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7738
      directory of a package.
7739
 
7740
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7741
 
7742
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7743
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7744
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7745
 
7746
    * jats_rewrite utility
7747
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7748

Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7753
Major changes:
7754
    * SunWorks production builds
7755
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7756
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7757
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7758
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7759
      compiler documentation.
7760
 
7761
    * MOS Toolset
7762
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7763
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7764
 
7765
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7766
 
7767
Minor changes:
7768
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7769
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7770
      This should not affect current users.
7771
 
7772
    * Mugfile generation
7773
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7774
      specified.
7775
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7776

7779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7780
Major changes:
7781
    MOS Toolset
7782
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7783
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7784
 
7785
Minor changes:
7786
    * Jats wrapper script
7787
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7788
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7789
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7790
 
7791
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7792
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7793
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7794
      may be suspect.
7795
 
7796
    * GenerateFiles directive
7797
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7798
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7799
 
7800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7801
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7803
Major changes:
7804
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7805
      build.xml files.
7806
 
7807
Minor changes:
7808
    * WIN32 toolset.
7809
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7810
 
7811
    * MakeAnt
7812
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7813
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7814
 
7815
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7816
 
7817
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7818
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7819
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7820
 
7821
    * MakeAnt directive
7822
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7823
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7824
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7825
 
7826
      Recommended usage:
7827
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7828
 
7829
Internal Changes
7830
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7836
Major changes:
7837
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7838
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7839
      files packaged into the release.
7840
 
7841
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7842

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7845
 
7846
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7847
      The recommended platform is:
7848
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7849
 
7850
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7851
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7852
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7853
      components.
7854
 
7855
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

7859
 
7860
Minor changes:
7861
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7862
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7863
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7864
      by the package to be accessed.
7865
 
7866
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7867
      application or visual studio.
7868
 
7869
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7870
      and the JATS Core path.
7871
 
7872
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7873
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7874
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7875
 
7876
    * MOS Toolset
7877
      Add support for the TPT device
7878
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7879
 
7880
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7881
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7882
 
7883
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7884
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7885
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7886
 
7887
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7888
 
7889
Internal Changes
7890
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7891
      in jats.pl
7892
 
7893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7894
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7895
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7896
Major changes:
7897
    * JATS wrapper script
7898
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7899
 
7900
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7901
 
7902
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7903
 
7904
Minor changes:
7905
    * Deployment support
7906
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7907
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7908
 
7909
    * 'build'
7910
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7911
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7912
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7913
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7914
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7915
 
7916
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7917
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7918
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7919
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7920
                                      the link phase.
7921
 
7922
    * BuildPkgArchive
7923
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7924
      Previously these were ignored.
7925
      Minor code cleanup
7926
 
7927
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7928
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7929
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7930
 
7931
    * SOLARIS targets
7932
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7933
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7934
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7935
 
7936
    * MugFile generation
7937
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7938
      included in the final package.
7939
 
7940
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7941
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7942
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7943
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7944
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7945
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7946
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7947
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7948
 
7949
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7950
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7951
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7952
            --Option=(some_text)
7953
            --Option=[some_text]
7954
            --Option={some_text}
7955
 
7956
Internal Changes
7957
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
7958
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
7959
      code.
7960
 
7961

Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
7963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7964
Major changes:
7965
    * JATS wrapper script
7966
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
7967
 
7968
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
7969
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
7970
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
7971
      other components.
7972
 
7973
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
7974
 
7975
    * JATS
7976
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
7977
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
7978
 
7979
    * Build operations
7980
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
7981
      if required packages are built against different versions of
7982
      packages.
7983
 
7984
    * Make operations
7985
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
7986
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
7987
 
7988
Minor changes:
7989
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
7990
      deployment builds.
7991
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
7992
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
7993
 
7994
      Extended the "jats vars" display
7995
 
7996
    * build.pl
7997
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
7998
        processed. Allows
7999
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8000
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8001
        production.
8002
 
8003
    * MOS toolset
8004
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8005
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8006
 
8007
    * create_dpkg utility
8008
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8009
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8010
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8011
      progress of the build.
8012
 
8013
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8014
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8015
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8016
      system.
8017

8020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8021
Major changes:
8022
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8023
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8024
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8025
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8026
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8027
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8028
 
8029
    * WCEX86A500 target
8030
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8031
 
8032
    * MOS Toolsets
8033
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8034
      the compiler.
8035
 
8036
    * RunTest directive
8037
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8038
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8039
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8040
 
8041
Minor changes:
8042
    * JATS BUILD
8043
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8044
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8045
      highlight bad settings.
8046
 
8047
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8048
      access to extensions.
8049
 
8050

    * label utility
8063
      Added options to:
8064
        o Delete a label
8065
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8066
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8067
 
8068
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8069
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8070
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8071
      Package directives.
8072
 
8073
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8074
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8075
      system.
8076
 
8077

Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8079
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8080
Major changes:
8081
    * MOS Toolset
8082
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8083
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8084
 
8085
    * WIN32 Toolset
8086
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8087
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8088
      list.
8089
 
8090
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8091
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8092
 
8093
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8094
 
8095
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8096
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8097
 
8098
 
8099
Minor changes:
8100
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8101
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8102
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8103
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8104
      corrected.
8105
 
8106
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8107
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8108
 
8109
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8110
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8111
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8112

      use with multithreaded modes.
8120
 
8121
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8122
      --OnlyProd.
8123
 
8124
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8125
      within the makefile.pl.
8126
 
8127
Minor changes:
8128
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8129
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8130
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8131
      platforms.
8132

8138
Major changes:
8139
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8140
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8141
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8142
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8143
 
8144
    * Preliminary Support
8145
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8146
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8147
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8148
 
8149
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8150
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8151
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8152
 
8153
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8154
      building. The default build will build both.
8155
 
8156
Minor changes:
8157
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8158
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8159
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8160
 
8161
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8162
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8163
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8164
 
8165
 
8166

8167
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8169
Major changes:
8170
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8171
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8172
      or all.
8173
 
8174
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8175
      the library or program.
8176
 
8177
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8178
 
8179
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8180
      library or any debug files.
8181
 
8182
    * GenerateFiles
8183
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8184
 
8185
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8186
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8187
 
8188
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8189
              The filename of the prereq file
8190
 
8191
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8192
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8193
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8194
 
8195
 
8196
Minor changes:
8197
    * create_dpkg utility
8198
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8199
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8200
      the package has been altered.
8201

8203
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8204
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8205
Major changes:
8206
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8207
      This is a WINCE target
8208
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8209
 
8210
    * New toolset
8211
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8212
 
8213
    * Modified toolset
8214
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8215
 
8216
    * Modified toolset
8217
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8218
 
8219
Minor changes:
8220
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8221
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8222
 
8223
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8224
 
8225
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8226
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8227
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8228
 
8229
      The change allows the construct
8230
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8231
      to be replaced by the simpler
8232
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8233
 
8234
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8235
      specified name.    
8236

8241
Major changes:
8242
    * Dependancy generator
8243
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
8244
      to allow for 4096 included files.

8255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8256
Major changes:
8257
    * The "package.pl" file.
8258
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8259
      package name being taken from the build name
8260
 
8261
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8262
      package Build Name.
8263
 
8264
Minor changes:
8265
    * create_dpkg utility
8266
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8267
 
8268

8271
Major changes:
8272
 
8273
Minor changes:
8274
    * Dependancy generator
8275
      Correct two common situations
8276
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8277
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8278
           ansi, but is often done.
8279
 
8280
    * GCC toolset
8281
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8282
      being created in the correct place.
8283
 
8284
    * jats "label"
8285
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8286
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8287
 
8288
 
8289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8290
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8292
Major changes:
8293
 
8294
Minor changes:
8295
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8296
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8297
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8298
 
8299
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8300
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8301
 
8302
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8303
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8304
      package was not being transferred.
8305
 
8306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8307
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8309
Major changes:
8310
    * Support for solaris_i386
8311
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8312
      binaries for this target.
8313
 
8314
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8315
      with the GCC compiler.
8316
 
8317
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8318
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8319
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8320
 
8321
Minor changes:
8322
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8323
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8324
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8325
 
8326
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8327
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8328
 
8329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8330
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8331
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8332
Major changes:
8333
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8334
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8335
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8336
 
8337
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8338
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8339
 
8340
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8341
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8342
      with either " or ' characters.
8343
 
8344
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8345
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8346
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8347
 
8348
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8349
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8350
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8351
 
8352
    * Jats wrapper
8353
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8354
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8355
      further commands.
8356
 
8357
Minor changes:
8358
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8359
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8360
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8361
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8362
 
8363
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8364
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8366
Major changes:
8367
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8368
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8369
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8370
 
8371
      These options operation affect all components within the
8372
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8373
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8374
 
8375
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8376
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8377
 
8378
Minor changes:
8379
 
8380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8381
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8383
Major changes:
8384
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8385
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8386
 
8387
Minor changes:
8388
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8389
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8390
 
8391
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8392
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8393
 
8394
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8395
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8397
Major changes:
8398
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8399
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8400
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8401
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8402
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8403
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8404
      installed.
8405
 
8406
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8407
      libraries that depend on each other.
8408
 
8409
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8410
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8411
 
8412
Minor changes:
8413
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8414
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8415
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8416
 
8417
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8418
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8419
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8420
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8421
 
8422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8423
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8425
Major changes:
8426
 
8427
Minor changes:
8428
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8429
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8430
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8431
      file.
8432
 
8433
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8434
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8435
 
8436
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8437
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8438
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8439
 
8440
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8441
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8442
 
8443
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8444
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8445
 
8446
    * WinCE toolsets
8447
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8448
      compiler specific libraries.
8449
 
8450
    * SOLARIS toolset
8451
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8452
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8453
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8454
 
8455
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8456
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8457
      cleaned up.
8458
 
8459
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8460
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8461
 
8462
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8463
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8464
      with either " or ' characters.
8465

8469
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8470
Major changes:
8471
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8472
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8473
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8474
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8475
 
8476
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8477
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8478
 
8479
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8480
      user.
8481
 
8482
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8483
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8484
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8485
 
8486
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8487
      for the   -Gf option.
8488
 
8489
Minor changes:
8490
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8491
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8492
 
8493
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8494
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8495
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8496
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8497
 
8498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8499
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8501
Major changes:
8502
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8503
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8504
 
8505
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8506
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8507
      data addresses for the board.
8508
 
8509
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8510
 
8511
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8512
 
8513
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8514
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8515
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8516
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8517
         PackageFile
8518
 
8519
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8520
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8521
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8522
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8523
 
8524
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8525
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8526
      to be installed and packaged.
8527
 
8528
Minor changes:
8529
 
8530
    * cache_dpkg utility
8531
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8532
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8533
 
8534
    * label utility
8535
      New option -auto to create and label
8536
 
8537
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8538
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8539
 
8540
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8541
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8542
      directory. ie:
8543
 
8544
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8545
 
8546
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8547
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8548
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.

8552
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8554
Major changes:
8555
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8556
 
8557
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8558
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8559
 
8560
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8561
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8562
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8563
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8564
 
8565
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8566
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8567
      compilation.
8568
 
8569
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8570
 
8571
Minor changes:
8572
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8573
      one is being produced.
8574
 
8575
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8576
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8577
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8578
 
8579
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8580
 
8581
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8582
 
8583
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8584
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8585
 
8586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8587
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8589
Major changes:
8590
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8591
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8592
 
8593
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8594
 
8595
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8596
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8597
      same directory
8598
 
8599
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8600
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8601
      documenattion.
8602
 
8603
Minor changes:
8604
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8605
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8606
 
8607
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8608
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8609
 
8610
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8611
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8612
 
8613
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8614
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8615
 
8616
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8617
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8618
      be exempt from this test.
8619
 
8620
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8621
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8622
 
8623
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8624
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8625
 
8626
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8627
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8628
      does.
8629
 
8630
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8631
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8632
 
8633
 
8634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8635
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8637
Major changes:
8638
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8639
 
8640
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8641
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8642
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8643
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8644
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8645
 
8646
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8647
      operations.
8648
 
8649
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8650
 
8651
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8652
 
8653
Minor changes
8654
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8655
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8656
 
8657
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8658
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8659
      directory is not added to the library path.
8660
 
8661
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8662
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8663
 
8664
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8665
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8666
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8667
 
8668
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8669
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8670
      specific flags.
8671
 
8672
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8673
 
8674
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8675
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8676
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8677
 
8678
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8679
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8680
      JATS.
8681
 
8682
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8683
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8684
 
8685
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8686
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8687
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8688
 
8689
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8690
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8691
 
8692
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8693
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8694
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8695
 
8696
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8697
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8698
 
8699
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8700
 
8701
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8702
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8703
 
8704
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8705
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8706
      objects.
8707
 
8708
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8709
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8710
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8711
      build defendants.
