		3570	`Improved handling of the -file and -dir options`
		3571	`These options will now label the directory elements within the paths`
		3572	`specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.`

		3590
		3591	`* Solaris targets`
		3592	`Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32`
		3593	`It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only`

		3624
		3625	`* Solaris builds`
		3626	`Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before`

313	dpurdie	3708	`* Perl Modules`
		3709	`Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS`

		3729
		3730	`Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that`

		3748
309	dpurdie	3749	`The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered`
307	dpurdie	3750	`in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile`

		3950
		3951	`This toolset has a number of limitations:`
		3952	`1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single`
		3953	`makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library`
		3954	`names cannot be changed.`
		3955
		3956	`2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated`
		3957	`artifacts is very simplistic.`

		3959	`Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the`
		3960	`name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.`

		3971	`file.`
		3972	`ie: SharedLib ( '*', 'MyDll' );`
		3973	`will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file`

		3975
		3976	`Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr`
		3977	`file.`
		3978	`ie: Prog ( '*', 'MyProg' );`
		3979	`will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file`

		3996
		3997	`* Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs`
		3998	`Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.`

		4000	`Internal Changes:`
		4001	`* ToolsetSHLD functions`

		5042	`Major changes:`
229	dpurdie	5043	`* Jats Release Mechanism`
		5044	`Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its`
		5045	`internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be`
		5046	`released using the 'standard' mechanism.`
		5047
		5048	`Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.`
		5049

		5052
		5053	`* Running Jats`
		5054	`Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.`

		5064	`* Perl Version Check`
		5065	`Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer`
		5066	`than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward`
		5067	`compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.`
		5068
		5069	`* Build Directive: BuildVersion`
		5070	`This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'`

		5072	`build.`
		5073
		5074	`* Jats Internals`

		5076	`Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.`
		5077
		5078	`* Jats Tool: CCbc2`
		5079	`Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two`
		5080	`packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views`
		5081	`and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the`
		5082	`process.`
		5083
		5084	`Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.`
		5085	`Only works under Windows.`
		5086
		5087	`Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.`
		5088
		5089	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh`
		5090	`Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly`

		5092	`* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat`
		5093	`Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported`
		5094	`into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.`
		5095
		5096	`* Jats eprog`
		5097	`Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current`
		5098	`directory.`
		5099
		5100	`* jats tool jats_metrics`

		5110	`* Jats Tool: create_dpkg`
		5111	`Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and`
		5112	`version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the`

		5114	`-pname=Package_Name`
		5115	`-pversion=Package_Version`
		5116
		5117	`Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without`

		5127
		5128	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5129	`Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared`
		5130	`libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable`
		5131	`programs are still supported.`

		5136	`Major changes:`
		5137
		5138	`Minor changes:`
		5139	`* WINCE toolsets`
		5140	`Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset`
		5141	`This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been`
		5142	`installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers`
		5143	`when header files cannot be found.`
		5144
		5145	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		5146	`If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make`

		5148	`that are difficult to solve.`
		5149
		5150	`* MakePerlModule directive`
		5151	`Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed`

		5157	`-dirs=xxx options.`
		5158
		5159	`* Jats Tool: release`
		5160	`Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the`
		5161	`build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.`
		5162
		5163	`Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be`
		5164	`used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.`
		5165
		5166	`* Jats Tool: CCdiff`
		5167	`Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be`
		5168	`uploaded to CodeStriker.`

		5259	`If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.`
		5260	`pl, then it will be ignored.`

		5280	`Version: 2.71.1.cr Released: 16-Oct-07`
		5281	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5282	`Major changes:`
		5283
		5284	`Minor changes:`
		5285	`PackageLib directive`
		5286	`The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.`
		5287	`Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.`
		5288	`Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.`
		5289
		5290	`MakefileGenerate directive`
		5291	`This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,`
		5292	`and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.`
		5293
		5294	`Multiple Parent detection`
		5295	`A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the`
		5296	`build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is`
		5297	`normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this`
		5298	`condition will be treated as a warning.`
		5299
		5300	`Solaris Toolset`
		5301	`Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.`
		5302	`When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will`
		5303	`cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the`
		5304	`link.`
		5305
		5306	`Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the`
		5307	`misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an`
		5308	`indication that this is a bad thing to do.`
		5309
		5310	`Make and generation of subdirectories`
		5311	`Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.`
		5312	`This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency`
		5313	`file.`
		5314
		5315	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5316	`Version: 2.71.0.cr Released: 10-Oct-07`
		5317	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5318	`Major changes:`
		5319	`Makefile generation and make recursion`
		5320	`Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by`
		5321	`which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.`
		5322
		5323	`Summary of changes:`
		5324	`- Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories`
		5325	`and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program that performs`
		5326	`the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for`
		5327	`flexibility.`
		5328
		5329	`The user interface remains identical: jats make ....`
		5330
		5331	`- Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text`
		5332	`file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the`
		5333	`interface directory and associated build information.`
		5334
		5335	`- Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.`
		5336	`On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less`
		5337	`than one second.`
		5338
		5339	`- Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent`
		5340	`building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for`
		5341	`each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every`
		5342	`makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity`
		5343	`testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the`
		5344	`toolset. It is an expensive operation.`
		5345
		5346	`- Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism`
		5347	`for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,`
		5348	`rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.`
		5349
		5350	`- Better makefile rebuilding`
		5351	`Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to`
		5352	`detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-`
		5353	`building them.`
		5354
		5355	`- Detection of build file changes`
		5356	`The make process will detect that the build file has been modified`
		5357	`and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It`
		5358	`does not prevent the 'make' operation.`
		5359
		5360	`- Quieter make output`
		5361	`The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.`
		5362
		5363
		5364	`Minor changes:`
		5365	`MakeAnt Directive`
		5366	`Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5`
		5367
		5368	`JATS command "debug" and "prod"`
		5369	`These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:`
		5370	`jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args`
		5371	`Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution`
		5372	`display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.`
		5373

		5476
		5477	`For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:`

		5503
		5504	`Minor changes:`
		5505	`* Solaris Toolset`
		5506	`Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the`
		5507	`dependent packages.`
		5508
		5509	`* RunTest operation`

		5515	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5516	`Version: JATS_2.68.0 Released: 20-Aug-07`
		5517	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5518	`Major changes:`
		5519	`* Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)`
		5520
		5521	`It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and`
		5522	`javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was`
		5523	`normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages`
		5524	`were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search`
		5525	`path.`
		5526
		5527	`JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt`
		5528	`directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and`
		5529	`reproducible.`
		5530
		5531	`This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.`
		5532	`This is better than building incorrectly.`
		5533
		5534	`There are several aspects to the change`
		5535	`1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If`
		5536	`the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the`
		5537	`PATH then these will be used and report an error.`
		5538
		5539	`2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build`
		5540	`Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.`
		5541	`Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is`
		5542	`controlled separately.`
		5543
		5544	`Minor changes:`
		5545	`* Sanitize the PATH environment variable`
		5546	`Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched`
		5547	`Remove duplicates`
		5548	`Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH`
		5549
		5550	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5551	`Version: JATS_2.67.1 Released: 17-Aug-07`
		5552	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5553	`Major changes:`
		5554
		5555	`Minor changes:`
		5556	`* Makefile sanity test`
		5557	`Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are`
		5558	`not then run on a machine of a different type.`
		5559
		5560	`This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-`
		5561	`x86 machine.`
		5562
		5563	`* Correct bug in RunTest`
		5564	`RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory`
		5565
		5566	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5567	`Version: JATS_2.67.0 Released: 13-Aug-07`
		5568	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		5569	`Major changes:`
		5570	`* RunTest directive`
		5571	`Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the`
		5572	`CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing`
		5573	`toolset specific test frameworks has been added.`
		5574
		5575	`Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.`
		5576	`The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option`
		5577	`--FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program`
		5578	`under test will be passed to the framework. program.`
		5579
		5580	`If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework`
		5581	`builder within the current toolset.`
		5582
		5583	`When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:`
		5584	`'--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.`
		5585
		5586	`With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit`
		5587	`will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile`
		5588	`containing the RunTest directive.`
		5589
		5590	`The Nunit Framework supports the following options:`
		5591	`--Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+`
		5592
		5593	`This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will`
		5594	`be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external`
		5595	`package or the components 'local' lib directory.`
		5596
		5597	`SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:`
		5598	`--NonJats This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a`
		5599	`P or D suffix.`
		5600	`--Jats (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will`
		5601	`select the correct library type for this build.`
		5602
		5603	`Minor changes:`
		5604	`* New Cache cleanup mechanism`
		5605	`When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within`
		5606	`the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to`
		5607	`the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are`
		5608	`frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.`
		5609
		5610	`* Save Build Utility`
		5611	`This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file`
		5612	`used in a ripple build.`
		5613
		5614	`The utility has been enhanced to detect a reserved checkout of the`
		5615	`build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.`
		5616
		5617	`* Release Utility`
		5618	`The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked`
		5619	`when an error is encountered.`
		5620
		5621	`This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be`
		5622	`unlocked if a build error occurs.`
		5623
		5624	`* Jats caching local copy of itself`
		5625	`Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message`
		5626	`being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.`
		5627
		5628	`* Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step`
		5629	`before the makefiles are created.`
		5630
		5631	`* TestProg directive`
		5632	`TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs`
		5633
		5634	`* Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with`
		5635	`a 'space' or '$' in the file name.`

		5652
		5653	`Minor changes:`
		5654	`* Added utility class to provide directory searching`

		5658	`Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs`
		5659
		5660	`Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx`
		5661	`and .cs files.`
		5662
		5663	`Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right`
		5664	`thing.`
		5665
		5666	`* Microtec ColdFire compiler`
		5667	`Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a`
		5668	`local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control`
		5669	`were it places temp files.`
		5670
		5671	`Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected`
		5672	`interaction with other builds.`
		5673
		5674	`* Release utility command`
		5675	`Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create`
		5676	`multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique`
		5677	`component in the clearcase tag name.`

		5766	`Major changes:`
		5767	`* Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended`

		5771	`* GenerateFiles`
		5772	`Added the options:`
		5773	`--UnknownPreq - Will force the recipe to be run every time`

		5778	`--AutoGenerate - Will not force the recipe to be run during the`

		5915	`LMOS_TP5600_EMU`
		5916
		5917	`LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600`

		5976	`Major changes:`
		5977
		5978	`* JATS release command`
		5979	`Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is`
		5980	`specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.`
		5981
		5982	`Rules are:`
		5983	`Modify a file: File will branch`
		5984	`Adding a file: Containing directory will not branch`
		5985	`File will be placed on a branch`
		5986	`Add a directory: Containing directory will not branch`
		5987	`New directory will branch`
		5988
		5989	`Minor changes:`
		5990	`* JATS release command`
		5991	`Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the`
		5992	`user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.`
		5993
		5994	`* JATS label command`
		5995	`Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label`
		5996	`is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.`
		5997
		5998	`* JATS make`
		5999	`Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and`
		6000	`Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package`
		6001	`was re-packaged.`
		6002
		6003	`* JATS escrow`
		6004	`Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.`
		6005	`Use jats escrow -help for details`
		6006
		6007	`* makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt`
		6008	`This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java`
		6009	`packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.`
		6010
		6011	`This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in`
		6012	`packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the`
		6013	`interface directory.`
		6014
		6015	`* build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive`
		6016	`Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.`
		6017	`Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'`
		6018	`directory as seen by the package.`
		6019
		6020	`Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10`
		6021
		6022	`* JAVA 6`
		6023	`JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y`
		6024	`environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.`
		6025
		6026	`The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5`
		6027	`and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.`
		6028
		6029	`The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables`
		6030
		6031	`* Jats command: vars`
		6032	`Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory`
		6033	`These indicate potential problems.`
		6034
		6035	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6036	`Version: JATS_2.62.4 Released: 20-Mar-07`
		6037	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6038	`Major changes:`
		6039	`* JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)`
		6040	`When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned`
		6041	`libarry is also created.`
		6042
		6043	`Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical`
		6044	`copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is`
		6045	`'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two`
		6046	`files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)`
		6047	`The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug`
		6048	`information contained within the file.`
		6049
		6050	`This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',`
		6051	`'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.`
		6052
		6053	`The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used`
		6054	`within the build environment and dpkg_archive.`
		6055
		6056	`* Building Perl Modules`
		6057	`Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the`
		6058	`documentation on the build machine.`
		6059
		6060	`Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.`
		6061
		6062	`Minor changes:`
		6063	`* jats create_dpkg`
		6064	`Added an option to create a built.generic file`
		6065	`This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.`
		6066
		6067	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6068	`Version: JATS_2.62.3 Released: 28-Feb-07`
		6069	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6070	`Major changes:`
		6071	`* JATS JAVA build target`
		6072	`The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the`
		6073	`default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.`
		6074
		6075	`Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar`
		6076	`JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.`
		6077	`Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this`
		6078	`is then picked up as the default version.`
		6079
		6080	`If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the`
		6081	`build.pl file.`
		6082
		6083	`Minor changes:`
		6084	`* jats release`
		6085	`Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH`
		6086	`Issue an error if it cannot be found.`
		6087	`This error indicates bad DevEnv setup`
		6088
		6089	`Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.`
		6090	`Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify`
		6091	`the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,`
		6092	`based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change`
		6093	`the name of the view.`
		6094
		6095	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		6096	`Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.`
		6097
		6098	`* MOS Toolset`
		6099	`When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly`
		6100	`used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set`
		6101	`up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization`
		6102
		6103	`Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );`
		6104

		6107	`Version: JATS_2.62.2 Released: 15-Feb-07`
		6108	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6109	`Major changes:`
		6110
		6111	`Minor changes:`
		6112	`* JATS environment`
		6113	`Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH`
		6114	`environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities`
		6115	`that are located in the Perl bin directory.`
		6116
		6117	`Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html`
		6118
		6119	`* Use of GENERIC platforms`
		6120	`Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform`
		6121	`specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because`
		6122	`they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need`
		6123	`to be packaged.`
		6124
		6125	`* Generated makefiles`
		6126	`Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.`
		6127
		6128	`* Generating MOS THX files`
		6129	`Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX`
		6130	`files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.`
		6131	`This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.`
		6132
		6133	`SharedLib ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );`
		6134
		6135	`* JATS release`
		6136	`Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix`
		6137
		6138	`* JATS extract`
		6139	`New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'`
		6140
		6141	`* JATS Toolset`
		6142	`Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)`
		6143	`This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK`
		6144
		6145
		6146	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6147	`Version: JATS_2.62.1 Released: 18-Jan-07`
		6148	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6149	`Major changes:`
		6150
		6151	`Minor changes:`
		6152	`* jats label`
		6153	`Added a -vob=name option`
		6154	`This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete`
		6155	`labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option`
		6156	`cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.`
		6157	`It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.`
		6158
		6159	`Added a -user=name option`
		6160	`This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the`
		6161	`label to the named user.`
		6162
		6163	`* jats release`
		6164	`Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner`
		6165	`Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.`
		6166
		6167	`* JATS build.pl`
		6168	`BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.`
		6169	`ie:`
		6170	`BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');`
		6171

		6174	`Version: JATS_2.62.0 Released: 22-Dec-06`
		6175	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6176	`Major changes:`
		6177	`* GenerateFiles and RunTest directives`
		6178	`These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile`
		6179	`values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of`
		6180	`the makefile internals. ie:`
		6181	`--Var(BuildName)`
		6182	`will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)`
		6183	`-BuildName=MyPackage`
		6184
		6185	`The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.`
		6186
		6187	`* GenerateFiles`
		6188	`Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase`
		6189	`This allows external scripts to cleanup.`
		6190
		6191	`* BuildPlatforms`
		6192	`Restored operation of the --Uses option`
		6193
		6194	`Minor changes:`
		6195	`* GCC Toolset`
		6196	`Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages`
		6197
		6198	`Internal changes:`
		6199	`* GenerateFiles`
		6200	`Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.`
		6201
		6202	`--Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an`
		6203	`external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.`
		6204
		6205
		6206	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6207	`Version: JATS_2.61.3 Released: 14-Dec-06`
		6208	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6209	`Major changes:`
		6210	`* Caching JATS`
		6211	`Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local`
		6212	`drive. This is applicable to windows.`
		6213
		6214	`This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in`
		6215	`dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of`
		6216	`then using JATS across a slow(network) link.`
		6217
		6218	`The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.`
		6219	`Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be`
		6220	`effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.`
		6221
		6222	`Use: Build Machines and Windows Users`
		6223
		6224	`Minor changes:`
		6225	`* Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option`
		6226	`Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:`
		6227	`TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.`
		6228
		6229	`* jats build`
		6230	`If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache`
		6231	`packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package`
		6232	`processed by the build.`
		6233
		6234	`* jats build`
		6235	`Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the`
		6236	`makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating`
		6237	`makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error`
		6238	`message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users`
		6239	`from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.`
		6240
		6241	`* PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr`
		6242	`Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the`
		6243	`Path is not specified.`
		6244
		6245	`Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in`
		6246	`conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a`
		6247	`package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified`
		6248	`--Dir=$Pinc`
		6249	`but $Pinc is not defined.`
		6250
		6251	`* Purify and Purecov under Windows`
		6252	`Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the`
		6253	`Windows platform.`
		6254
		6255	`- OPTIONS=purecov`
		6256	`Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required`
		6257	`by 'purecov.`
		6258
		6259	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6260	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows`
		6261
		6262	`- OPTIONS=purify`
		6263	`Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain`
		6264	`This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.`
		6265	`Under WIndows this option does nothing.`

		6269	`Version: JATS_2.61.2 Released: 27-Nov-06`
		6270	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6271	`Major changes:`
		6272	`* makefile.pl directive Platform`
		6273	`This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation`
		6274	`Example:`
		6275	`Platform ('!MOSCF');`
		6276	`Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF`
		6277	`This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');`
		6278
		6279	`Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have`
		6280	`been determined.`
		6281
		6282	`Minor changes:`
		6283	`* Added the ScanList directive.`
		6284	`This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be`
		6285	`located at build-time.`

		6497	`Major changes:`
		6498
		6499	`Minor changes:`
		6500	`* WIN32 and WINCE toolsets`
		6501	`SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'`

		6540	`* Packaging directives`
		6541	`Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into`
		6542	`a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.`
		6543
		6544	`Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on`
		6545	`SOLARIS`
		6546	`WIN32`
		6547
		6548	`* Removal of support for badly formed packages`
		6549	`As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory`
		6550	`will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect`
		6551	`directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose`
		6552	`of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,`
		6553	`solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).`
		6554
		6555	`* Build Platform target name expansion facility`
		6556	`The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They`
		6557	`will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .`
		6558
		6559
		6560	`Minor changes:`

		6563	`Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.`
		6564
		6565	`* Utility: JATS RELEASE`
		6566	`Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given`
		6567	`location`
		6568
		6569	`Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for`
		6570	`controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx`
		6571
		6572	`* Utility genrc`
		6573	`Added the company name to the copyright string`
		6574
		6575	`* Utility: jats_save_build`
		6576	`Added option: -new`
		6577	`This option forces the saved file only a new branch.`
		6578	`The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific`
		6579	`branch. Useful when branching an entire release.`
		6580
		6581	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6582	`Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.`
		6583	`Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.`
		6584
		6585	`* Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir`
		6586	`These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for`
		6587	`migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.`
		6588
		6589	`The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl`
		6590	`features - in a uniform manner.`
		6591
		6592
		6593	`Internal Changes:`
		6594	`* Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts`
		6595	`directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.`
		6596
		6597	`Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:`
		6598	`1) Platform information available at build time`
		6599	`2) Dynamic platform names`
		6600
		6601	`* Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform`
		6602	`The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the`
		6603	`machine on which the platform is invoked.`
		6604
		6605	`Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into`
		6606	`configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the`
		6607	`SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.`
		6608
		6609	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6610	`Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32`
		6611	`platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer`
		6612	`needed.`
		6613
		6614	`A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be`
		6615	`located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change`
		6616	`should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle`
		6617	`files from all of these.`

		6629	`Version: JATS_2.55.0 Released: 3-Aug-06`
		6630	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6631	`Major changes:`
		6632	`* Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used`
		6633	`Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of`
		6634	`JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.`
		6635
		6636	`The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.`
		6637
		6638	`JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up`
		6639	`the operations.`
		6640
		6641	`The version option MUST be the first option.`
		6642
		6643	`The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.`
		6644	`This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.`
		6645
		6646	`Example: jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build`
		6647
		6648	`* Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script`
		6649	`and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.`
		6650
		6651	`* Utility: create_dpkg`
		6652	`Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts`
		6653	`Extended the built-in help`

		6658	`Added support for the WCEPA962 target.`
		6659

		6662	`are used in the creation of bootstraps.`
		6663
		6664	`Minor changes:`
		6665	`* JATS wrapper script`
		6666	`Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from`
		6667	`the command line.`
		6668
		6669	`* Utility: jats_rewrite`
		6670	`Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the`
		6671	`ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.`
		6672
		6673	`Internal Changes:`
		6674	`* Common Error Reporting`
		6675	`Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels`
		6676	`for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars`
		6677	`of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE`
		6678	`level.`
		6679
		6680	`Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is`
		6681	`displayed.`
		6682
		6683	`Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.`
		6684

		6722	`builds.`
		6723
		6724	`* JATS Core`
		6725	`Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an`

		6733	`* Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.`
		6734	`Deployment package will be affected.`
		6735
		6736	`The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment`
		6737	`support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:`
		6738
		6739	`BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );`
		6740
		6741	`This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided`
		6742	`by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start`
		6743	`of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield`
		6744	`packages.`
		6745
		6746	`* Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS`
		6747	`The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex`
		6748	`and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.`
		6749
		6750	`This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'`
		6751	`the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'`
		6752
		6753	`Minor changes:`
		6754	`* SubDir directive`
		6755	`Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies`
		6756	`a directory from two different makefiles.`
		6757
		6758	`* Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend`
		6759	`If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated`
		6760	`dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence`
		6761	`of the file usage.`
		6762
		6763	`* New utility: jats_manifest`
		6764	`Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.`
		6765	`Beta Release: Windows only at the moment`
		6766
		6767	`* Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc`
		6768	`The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries`
		6769	`generated within the build and have been installed locally.`
		6770
		6771	`* Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script`
		6772	`This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.`
		6773	`In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and`
		6774	`will execute a JATS extended command.`
		6775
		6776
		6777	`Internal Changes:`
		6778	`* Code refactor`
		6779	`Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.`
		6780
		6781	`* Deployment utilities`
		6782	`The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file`
		6783	`Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.`
		6784	`The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and`
		6785	`the module can locate the file.`
		6786
		6787	`Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate`
		6788	`the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.`
		6789
		6790	`* JATS core`
		6791	`Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.`
		6792
		6793	`Better parsing of descpkg files.`
		6794
		6795	`* JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm`
		6796	`Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs`
		6797	`through the use of environment variables.`
		6798
		6799	`A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment`
		6800	`variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.`
		6801
		6802	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		6803	`Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:`
		6804	`deployfiles - as used by the deployment system`
		6805	`tools/scripts - as used by perl based extensions`
		6806
		6807	`* Make environment`
		6808	`Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to`
		6809	`include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.`
		6810

		6813	`Version: JATS_2.53.2 Released: 13-Jun-06`
		6814	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6815	`Major changes:`
		6816	`* Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)`
		6817	`Added support for SILENT_MODE`
		6818
		6819
		6820	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6821	`Version: JATS_2.53.1 Released: Not release`
		6822	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6823
		6824	`Not Released.`
		6825	`This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis`
		6826	`for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.`
		6827
		6828
		6829	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6830	`Version: JATS_2.53.0 Released: 11-Apr-06`
		6831	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6832	`Major changes:`
		6833	`* Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access`
		6834	`The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been`
		6835	`radically replaced.`
		6836
		6837	`A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.`
		6838	`Usage:`
		6839	`jats etool test_rmconnection`
		6840
		6841	`The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle`
		6842	`Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with`
		6843	`this solution:`
		6844	`- Required the installation of two Perl Modules`
		6845	`- Required the installation of an Oracle client`
		6846	`- Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris`
		6847	`- Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline`
		6848
		6849	`The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin`
		6850	`client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in`
		6851	`order to work.`
		6852
		6853	`JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but`
		6854	`reduced functionality.`
		6855
		6856
		6857	`Minor changes:`
		6858	`* makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		6859	`Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.`
		6860	`This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.`
		6861
		6862	`* makefile.pl directive: SetList`
		6863	`Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists`
		6864	`within the makefiles.`
		6865	`Options:`
		6866	`--NoWarn Disable name clash warnings`
		6867	`--Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+ Add to list in selected projects`
		6868	`--Unique Add only if not already present`
		6869	`--Clear Clear list, before adding new items`
		6870	`--Append Append items to list (default)`
		6871	`-- Disable/Enable option parsing`
		6872	`Useage:`
		6873
		6874	`SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');`
		6875	`SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );`
		6876
		6877	`* Makefile.pl directive: RunTest`
		6878	`Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file`
		6879	`is not in the current directory.`
		6880
		6881	`* Jats Command: ant'`
		6882	`This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option`
		6883	`to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.`
		6884
		6885	`eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant`
		6886
		6887	`* TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support`
		6888	`Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next`
		6889	`generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version`
		6890	`of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr`
		6891
		6892	`* Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh`
		6893	`Added provision to process user command arguments.`
		6894	`Thus`
		6895
		6896	`set_WIN32.bat prog`
		6897
		6898	`will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog`
		6899

		6901	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6902	`Version: JATS_2.52.2 Released: 30-Mar-06`
		6903	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6904	`Major changes:`
		6905
		6906	`Minor changes:`
		6907	`* Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.`
		6908	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be`
		6909	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project`
		6910	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6911	`$(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always`
		6912
		6913	`* m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware`
		6914	`Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are`
		6915	`created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.`
		6916
		6917	`Internal changes:`
		6918	`* JATS toolsets`
		6919	`Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created`
		6920	`as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a`
		6921	`number of files, some which may be packaged.`
		6922
		6923	`Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now`
		6924	`they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.`
		6925
		6926	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6927	`Version: JATS_2.52.1 Released: 29-Mar-06`
		6928	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6929	`Major changes:`
		6930	`* Jats command: etool`
		6931	`Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment`
		6932	`tools to use the JATS core perl modules.`
		6933
		6934	`* Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer`
		6935	`Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be`
		6936	`maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt`
		6937	`extension. It was bad. Now:`
		6938	`$(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always`
		6939	`$ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always`
		6940
		6941	`Minor changes:`
		6942
		6943
		6944	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6945	`Version: JATS_2.52.0 Released: 27-Mar-06`
		6946	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		6947	`Major changes:`
		6948	`* JATS environment variables`
		6949	`Added GBE_DPKG_STORE`
		6950	`Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow`
		6951	`read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be`
		6952	`searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,`
		6953	`will not publish packages in this repository.`
		6954
		6955	`Uses: Seed repository for a complete build`
		6956	`Remote repository`
		6957
		6958	`Added GBE_DPLY`
		6959	`Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the`
		6960	`placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.`
		6961
		6962	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		6963	`Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.`
		6964	`Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This`
		6965	`created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by`
		6966	`the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.`
		6967
		6968	`The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be`
		6969	`processed once and it will be processed last.`
		6970
		6971
		6972	`Minor changes:`
		6973	`* JATS utility: build`
		6974	`* JATS utility: cache_dpkg`
		6975	`Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within`
		6976	`GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.`
		6977
		6978	`* JATS utility: gen_cots`
		6979	`Ensure label is not locked`
		6980	`Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package`
		6981	`that already exists in dpkg_archive.`
		6982
		6983	`* JATS directive: PackageFile`
		6984	`Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process`
		6985	`to a specific type of build.`
		6986
		6987	`* JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests`
		6988	`Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information`
		6989	`to be extracted and passed to generator programs.`
		6990	`ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)`
		6991
		6992	`Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as`
		6993	`sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.`
		6994	`ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)`
		6995
		6996	`* JATS utility: release`
		6997	`Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have`
		6998	`been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.`
		6999
		7000	`* JATS utility: label`
		7001	`Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,`
		7002	`when it is being created.`
		7003
		7004	`Internal Changes`
		7005	`* JATS utility: create_dpkg`
		7006	`Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.`
		7007
		7008	`Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use`
		7009	`to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.`
		7010
		7011	`* Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive`
		7012	`This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting`
		7013	`different results.`
		7014
		7015	`* ToolsetRequire directive`
		7016	`This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within`
		7017	`packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory`
		7018
		7019	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7020	`Version: JATS_2.51.0 Released: 15-Mar-06`

		7028	`Version: JATS_2.50.0 Released: 15-Feb-06`
		7029	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7030	`Major changes:`
		7031	`* WIN32 utilities`
		7032	`Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)`
		7033	`with versions from the GNUWin32 project.`
		7034
		7035	`The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories`
		7036	`under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the`
		7037	`same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).`
		7038
		7039	`Minor changes:`
		7040	`* BuildVersion`
		7041	`The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file`
		7042	`will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'`
		7043	`program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.`
		7044
		7045	`The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.`
		7046
		7047	`* Unix Builds`
		7048	`Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static`
		7049	`library or a shared library.`
		7050
		7051	`JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred`
		7052	`when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix`
		7053	`systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already`
		7054	`start with 'lib'.`
		7055
		7056	`* BuildPkgArchive`
		7057	`Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if`
		7058	`they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source`
		7059	`package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.`
		7060
		7061	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7062	`Version: JATS_2.49.0 Released: 10-Feb-06`
		7063	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7064	`Major changes:`
		7065	`* MOS_MRI toolset`
		7066	`Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target`
		7067	`THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get`
		7068	`regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was`
		7069	`being manually maintained.`
		7070
		7071
		7072	`Minor changes:`
		7073	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7074	`Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset`
		7075	`that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset`
		7076	`supports ANT builds.`
		7077
		7078	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7079	`Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where`
		7080	`there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.`
		7081
		7082	`* Label utility`
		7083	`Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified`
		7084	`files to be labeled.`
		7085
		7086	`* Build. Parsing descpkg files`
		7087	`Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly`
		7088	`on Solaris.`
		7089
		7090	`* Generated makefiles`
		7091	`Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to`
		7092	`nothing.`
		7093
		7094	`* MOS Toolset`
		7095	`Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.`
		7096	`This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised`
		7097	`modules.`
		7098
		7099	`* Utility: gen_cots`
		7100	`This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry`
		7101	`and then check it in under clearcase.`
		7102
		7103	`JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.`
		7104
		7105	`* Utilty cache_dpkg`
		7106	`Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.`

		7111	`Major changes:`
		7112	`None`
		7113
		7114	`Minor changes:`
		7115	`* DEVI addressed`
		7116	`DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource`
5710	dpurdie	7117	`DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource`
227	dpurdie	7118
		7119	`* Utility: release (cbuild)`
		7120	`Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching`
		7121	`rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:`
		7122
		7123	`jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH`
		7124
		7125	`will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating`
		7126	`a patch for Sydney Legacy work.`
		7127
		7128	`* RunTest directive`
		7129	`The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have`
		7130	`been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to`
		7131	`test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.`
		7132
		7133	`* PackageFile, Option --DirTree`
		7134	`Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the`
		7135	`--DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be`
		7136	`packaged under JATS`
		7137
		7138	`Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not`
		7139	`supported within JATS.`
		7140
		7141	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7142	`Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the`
		7143	`sanitized environment provided by JATS.`
		7144
		7145	`The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's`
		7146	`PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the`
		7147	`JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.`
		7148
		7149	`Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2`
		7150	`Eg: jats ant`
		7151
		7152	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7153	`Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )`
		7154
5710	dpurdie	7155	`This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file`
227	dpurdie	7156	`called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called`
		7157	`<ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the`
		7158	`<ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the`
		7159	`<ProjectName>.xml file.`
		7160
5710	dpurdie	7161	`If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will`
227	dpurdie	7162	`expect a build.pl file.`
		7163
		7164	`* Jats utility wrapper`
		7165	`Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.`
		7166
		7167	`* Jats utility: create_dpkg`

		7170
		7171	`* Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)`
		7172	`Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.`
		7173
		7174	`* Build files`
		7175	`Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with`
5710	dpurdie	7176	`VIX extensions.`

		7181	`Major changes:`
		7182	`* BuildVersion directive in build.pl`
		7183	`Correct a problem in the generation of version.c`
		7184	`The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing`
		7185	`space when the 'array' mode was selected.`

		7197	`Added option --Uses=NAME`
		7198	`ie:`
		7199	`BuildProduct ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5', 'MOSCF' );`
		7200
		7201	`This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5`
		7202	`headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the`
		7203	`OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build`
		7204	`environments are compatible.`
		7205
		7206
		7207	`Minor changes:`
		7208	`* BuildName option`
		7209	`Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames`
5710	dpurdie	7210	`that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).`
227	dpurdie	7211
		7212	`* jats.bat`
		7213	`Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined`
		7214	`It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.`

		7216	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7217	`Version: JATS_2.45.0 Released: 29-Nov-05`
		7218	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7219	`Major changes:`
		7220	`* BuildPkgArchive directive`
		7221	`The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified`
		7222	`so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly`
		7223	`speeds up multiple 'build' operations.`
		7224
		7225	`If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then`
		7226	`this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are`
		7227	`considered as under development and are subject to change.`
		7228
		7229	`If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be`
		7230	`installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to`
		7231	`be transferred into the 'interface' directory.`
		7232
		7233	`A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been`
		7234	`transferred.`
		7235
		7236	`* Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.`
		7237	`See notes below.`
		7238
		7239	`* WIN32 toolset`
		7240	`Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate`
		7241	`correctly.`
		7242
		7243	`Export the complete library search path into the build environment`
		7244	`for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.`
		7245
		7246	`* BuildVersion`
		7247	`Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#`
		7248	`The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for`
		7249	`other langauges as needed.`
		7250
		7251
		7252	`Minor changes:`
		7253	`* Utility: gen_winrc.pl`
		7254	`Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.`
		7255	`This information will be available to be placed into the generation`
		7256	`version strings.`
		7257
		7258	`* GenerateFiles directive`
		7259	`Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local`
		7260	`package or an imported package.`
		7261
		7262	`* Toolsets: MOS_MRI`
		7263	`Generate an error if required tools are not found.`
		7264	`Previously this condition would generate a warning.`
		7265
		7266	`* BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives`
		7267	`Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check`
		7268	`was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same`
		7269	`version to be included. This could result in badly formed`
		7270	`makefiles and strange error messages.`
		7271
		7272	`Internal Changes`
		7273	`* Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common`
		7274	`directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite`
		7275	`of utilities.`
		7276
		7277	`Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting`
		7278	`functions.`
		7279
		7280	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7281	`Version: JATS_2.44.0 Released: 18-Nov-05`
		7282	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7283	`Major changes:`
		7284	`* Generated makefiles`
		7285	`Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE`
		7286	`cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure`
		7287	`that sed did not process its arguments.`
		7288
		7289	`This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts`
		7290	`within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was`
		7291	`incorrectly processing:`
		7292	`sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'`
		7293	`The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was`
		7294	`then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally`
		7295	`confused.`
		7296
		7297	`NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a`
		7298	`breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).`
		7299	`The construct`
		7300	`-D__SOURCE__=\"name\"`
		7301	`was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,`
		7302	`then it works.`
		7303
		7304	`* MakeAnt directive`
		7305	`Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile`
		7306
		7307	`This option has the following effects`
		7308	`1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and`
		7309	`can be used installed and manipulated.`
		7310
		7311	`2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done`
		7312	`early - in the generated files phase.`
		7313
		7314	`Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java`
		7315	`component needs to generate a header file early.`
		7316
		7317
		7318	`Minor changes:`
		7319	`* JATS post-installation script`
		7320	`Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.`
		7321
		7322	`* Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix`
		7323	`systems. Thus .h and .H files will considered header files in`
		7324	`windows.`
		7325
		7326	`* Build.pl rewrite tool`
		7327	`Handle all variants of BuildName`
		7328
		7329	`* Jats wrapper script`
		7330	`Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable`
		7331	`1) Contain spaces`
		7332	`2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped`
		7333
		7334	`* Toolset`
		7335	`Added a 'LINUX' platform.`
		7336
		7337	`* JAVA toolset`
		7338	`Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following`
		7339	`directive:`
		7340
		7341	`includeAntRuntime="off"'`
		7342
		7343	`This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to`
		7344	`the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's`
		7345	`version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.`
		7346
		7347	`* GCC Toolset`
		7348	`Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian`
		7349
		7350	`* Makefile generation`
		7351	`When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS`
		7352	`has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.`
		7353	`Previously JATS would use the package name found within the`
		7354	`descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the`
		7355	`package could not be used.`
		7356
		7357	`* Unit Tests`
		7358	`The following environment variables are set:`
		7359
		7360	`GBE_TYPE - The type of build. Debug or production. This`
		7361	`will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'`
		7362
		7363	`GBE_HOST - The host machine we are running on.`
		7364	`This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'`
		7365
		7366	`These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.`
		7367
		7368	`* New makefile.pl directive: SetValue`
		7369
		7370
		7371	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7372	`Version: JATS_2.43.0 Released: 01-Nov-05`
		7373	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7374	`Major changes:`
		7375	`* New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.`
		7376
		7377	`Special features of this toolset.`
		7378	`1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file`
		7379	`This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be`
		7380	`incorporated within the target image.`
		7381
		7382	`2) Prog directive extensions:`
		7383	`--Set=Name=Value`
		7384	`The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.`
		7385	`This allows the location of program segments to be set`
		7386
		7387	`--Ref=name`
		7388	`The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used`
		7389	`to provide information that will be placed within the`
		7390	`THX header. The version number will be ignored. It`
		7391	`will be taken from the build version number.`
		7392
		7393	`Minor changes:`
		7394	`* MOS Toolset`
		7395	`Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.`
		7396	`Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or`
		7397	`packaged.`
		7398
		7399	`* Src directive`
		7400	`No generates a warning if no source files are located within the`
		7401	`directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform`
		7402	`specifier.`
		7403
		7404	`* WIN32 runtime support`
		7405	`Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.`
		7406	`1) od - dump files in octal and other formats`
		7407	`2) cmp - compare two files byte by byte`
		7408
		7409	`Internal:`
		7410	`Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"`
		7411	`dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program`
		7412	`generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.`
		7413
		7414	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7415	`Version: JATS_2.42.0 Released: 19-Oct-05`
		7416	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7417	`Major changes:`
		7418	`* BuildAlias directive`
		7419	`Added options.`
		7420	`--Define - Does not create implicit platforms`
		7421	`--Target - Redeclares the alais as the list of all`
		7422	`platforms that are based on a given target or`
		7423	`targets.`
		7424	`Eg:`
		7425	`BuildAlias ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );`
		7426	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );`
		7427	`BuildProduct ( 'PCP', 'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );`
		7428
		7429	`Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's`
		7430	`that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of`
		7431	`'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.`
		7432
		7433	`Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.`
		7434	`The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the`
		7435	`specification of all the LMOS targets.`
		7436
		7437
		7438	`Minor changes:`
		7439	`* Label utility`
		7440	`Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one`
		7441	`build.pl file`
		7442
		7443	`* Package directives. PackageFile.`
		7444	`Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn`
		7445	`needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.`
		7446	`Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the`
		7447	`--FilterIn option.`
		7448
		7449	`* jats release (cbuilder) utility`
		7450	`Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.`
		7451	`The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.`
		7452
		7453	`* Location of descpkg file`
		7454	`All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was`
		7455	`created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it`
		7456	`can be done within any makefile.pl.`
		7457
		7458	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7459	`Version: JATS_2.41.0 Released: 27-Sep-05`
		7460	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7461	`Major changes:`
		7462	`* RunTest directive`
		7463	`Extended the options and operation of RunTest`
		7464	`Additional options`
		7465	`--CopyIn=file`
		7466	`This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before`
		7467	`the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This`
		7468	`allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into`
		7469	`the test area.`
		7470
		7471	`Additional operations`
		7472	`The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of`
		7473	`transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms`
		7474	`--File(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a known file`
		7475	`--Local(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a file that has been Installed`
		7476	`--PackageBase(xxxx[,flags]) - xxxx is a Package`
		7477	`Allows flags:`
		7478	`--dir - directory part of the pathname`
		7479	`--file - file part of the pathname`
		7480	`--abspath - as an absolute path`
		7481	`--absdrive - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)`
		7482
		7483	`Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their`
		7484	`existence is tested.`
		7485
		7486	`* Packaging Directives`
		7487	`Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets`
		7488	`such as LMOS.`
		7489
		7490	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');`
		7491
		7492	`Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32`
		7493
		7494	`PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');`
		7495
		7496	`Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys`
		7497
		7498	`* JAVA 1.4 and 1.5`
		7499	`Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify`
		7500	`the version of Java to be used to build a package.`
		7501
		7502	`BuildPlatforms ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );`
		7503
		7504	`The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.`
		7505	`This may not be sutable for all packages.`
		7506
		7507	`Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be`
		7508	`set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:`
		7509
		7510	`JAVA_HOME_1_4`
		7511	`JAVA_HOME_1_5`
		7512
		7513	`Minor changes:`
		7514	`* Script directive`
		7515	`Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.`
		7516	`These scripts are now always marked as executable.`
		7517
		7518	`* JATS environment`
		7519	`Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase`
		7520	`COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in`
		7521	`the JATS wrapper script.`
		7522
		7523	`* Label utility`
		7524	`Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.`
		7525	`There are three modes of operation:`
		7526	`1) -nocheckout Checked out files are not labeled`
		7527	`2) -checkout Only checked out files are labeled`
		7528	`3) Neither All files are labeled.`

		7539	`This options retains the locked state of a label.`
		7540
		7541	`* AVR_IAR toolset`
		7542	`Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be`
		7543	`added to a program as it is created. The option is:`
		7544	`--ProgLoader=name`
		7545
		7546	`* Package directives. PackageFile`
		7547	`Added support for packaging of directory trees.`
		7548	`Options to do this are:`
		7549	`--TreeDir=name`
		7550	`--FilterOut=regexp`
		7551	`--FilterIn=regexp`
		7552	`--StripDir`
		7553
		7554	`Only a single directory can be specified.`
		7555	`Multiple filters are allowed.`
		7556	`The directories must be within the current directory. It is not`
		7557	`possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.`
		7558
		7559	`The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.`
		7560	`The filters are regular expressions. Examples:`
		7561
		7562	`'--FilterIn=\.h$' - Select all files ending with .h`
		7563	`'--FilterOut=MyHeader.h' - Except this one`
		7564
		7565	`The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the`
		7566	`files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.`
		7567
		7568
		7569	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7570	`Version: JATS_2.39.0 Released: 14-Sep-05`
		7571	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		7572	`Major changes:`
		7573	`* Make commands`
		7574	`Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.`
		7575
		7576	`The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools`
		7577	`sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter`
		7578

		7585	`Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable`
		7586	`variables and overrides.`
		7587
		7588	`The make_init target is always run.`
		7589	`This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide`
		7590	`compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.`
		7591
		7592	`* Deployment`
		7593	`Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction`
		7594	`with deployment operations.`
		7595
		7596	`* Release utility`
		7597	`Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.`
		7598	`The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further`
		7599	`restricted by options within the build.`
		7600
		7601	`* PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl`
		7602	`The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a`
		7603	`problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the`
		7604	`list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the`
		7605	`list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.`
		7606
		7607	`Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these`
		7608	`directives.`
		7609
		7610	`* MakeProject directive`
		7611	`If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed`
		7612	`because 'make' stops when a command fails.`
		7613
		7614	`The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the`
		7615	`log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command`
		7616	`is preserved.`
		7617
		7618	`* Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl`
		7619	`Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'`
		7620	`statements.`
		7621
		7622	`* Mugfile generation`
		7623	`Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to`
		7624	`be placed in the target package.`

		7636	`number.`
		7637
		7638	`Minor changes:`
		7639	`* AddFlags directives`
		7640	`Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of`
		7641	`duplicate flags being added.`
		7642
		7643	`* GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)`
		7644	`Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS`
		7645	`loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.`
		7646
		7647	`* Mug File Generation`
		7648	`Added support to allow load files to include other load files.`
		7649
		7650	`* 'cbuild' or 'release' command`
		7651	`Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the`
		7652	`problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been`
		7653	`labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root`
		7654	`directory.`
		7655
		7656	`The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT`
		7657	`reproducible.`

		7662	`Major changes:`
		7663	`* jats.bat and jats.sh`
		7664	`Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.`
		7665	`Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no`
		7666	`longer a list of directories.`
		7667
		7668	`Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now`
		7669	`done within the toolset.`
		7670
		7671	`*** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release`
		7672
		7673	`* JATS environment variables`
		7674	`Redefined variable`
		7675	`GBE_DPKG - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive`
		7676	`Previously was a list that included the`
		7677	`dpkg_archive cache.`
		7678
		7679	`New variable`
		7680	`GBE_DPKG_CACHE - Optional directory for a local cache of`

		7686	`Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various`
		7687	`target platforms to be extracted.`
		7688
		7689	`Better support for Product families. This is only an issue`
		7690	`for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of`
		7691	`libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.`
		7692
		7693	`* Utility: release (cbuilder)`

		7719	`be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to`
5710	dpurdie	7720	`the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as`
227	dpurdie	7721	`-- Auto.`
		7722

		7896	`* Support for Windows DLLs`
		7897	`When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is`

		8157	`--OnlyProd.`
		8158
		8159	`These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive`
		8160	`within the makefile.pl.`
		8161
		8162	`Minor changes:`
		8163	`* Platform directive within makefile.pl`
		8164	`These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such`
		8165	`that options provided within the directive will be added to all`
		8166	`platforms.`

		8171	`Version: JATS_2.25.0 Released: 29-Apr-05`
		8172	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8173	`Major changes:`
		8174	`* Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.`
		8175	`The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward`
		8176	`compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and`
		8177	`SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.`
		8178
		8179	`* Preliminary Support`
		8180	`Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are`
		8181	`mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl`
		8182	`file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.`
		8183
		8184	`BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );`
		8185	`BuildProduct ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );`
		8186	`BuildArgument ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );`
		8187
		8188	`These options limit processing to either Production or Debug`
		8189	`building. The default build will build both.`
		8190
		8191	`Minor changes:`
		8192	`* Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate`
		8193	`a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats`
		8194	`directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.`
		8195
		8196	`* WCEX86A420 toolset`
		8197	`Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:`

		8204	`Major changes:`
		8205	`* PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]`
		8206	`option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug`
		8207	`or all.`
		8208
		8209	`This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with`
		8210	`the library or program.`
		8211
		8212	`Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );`
		8213
		8214	`Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub`
		8215	`library or any debug files.`
		8216
		8217	`* GenerateFiles`
		8218	`All processed arguments now support two options.`
		8219
		8220	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)`
		8221	`directory in which the prereq file is found`
		8222
		8223	`ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)`
		8224	`The filename of the prereq file`
		8225
		8226	`* LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if`
		8227	`the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to`
		8228	`the build command, will prevent this behaviour.`
		8229
		8230
		8231	`Minor changes:`
		8232	`* create_dpkg utility`
		8233	`Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow`
		8234	`utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that`
		8235	`the package has been altered.`

		8256	`builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.`
		8257
		8258	`The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.`
		8259
		8260	`* Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER`
		8261	`GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles`
		8262	`to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.`
		8263
		8264	`The change allows the construct`
		8265	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS`
		8266	`to be replaced by the simpler`
		8267	`GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS`

		8310	`Correct two common situations`
		8311	`1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored`

		8313	`ansi, but is often done.`
		8314
		8315	`* GCC toolset`
		8316	`Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not`
		8317	`being created in the correct place.`
		8318
		8319	`* jats "label"`
		8320	`The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not`

		8386
		8387	`* Jats wrapper`
		8388	`Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file`
		8389	`and then change to the containing directory before execution`
		8390	`further commands.`
		8391
		8392	`Minor changes:`
		8393	`* WinCe and Win32 toolsets`
		8394	`Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the`

		8401	`Major changes:`
		8402	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions`
		8403	`NoPDB - Disable the generation of PDBs`
		8404	`PDB - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).`
		8405
		8406	`These options operation affect all components within the`
		8407	`makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl`
		8408	`then they will affect all components within the build.`

		8415	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8416	`Version: JATS_2.14.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`

		8424	`The utility supports -icon=filename.ico`
		8425
		8426	`* The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the`

		8429	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8430	`Version: JATS_2.13.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8431	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8432	`Major changes:`
		8433	`* Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged`
		8434	`the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The`
		8435	`implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can`
		8436	`"installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.`
		8437	`The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as`
		8438	`this is the order in which the libraries will be created and`
		8439	`installed.`
		8440
		8441	`This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared`
		8442	`libraries that depend on each other.`
		8443
		8444	`This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not`
		8445	`generate separate stub libraries to link against.`
		8446
		8447	`Minor changes:`
		8448	`* WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets`
		8449	`Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files`
		8450	`in the "local" and "interface" directory.`
		8451
		8452	`* The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the`
		8453	`first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a`
		8454	`"src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation`
		8455	`of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.`
		8456
		8457	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8458	`Version: JATS_2.12.0 Released: 18-Mar-05`
		8459	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8460	`Major changes:`
		8461
		8462	`Minor changes:`
		8463	`* Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive`
		8464	`Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction`
		8465	`with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another`
		8466	`file.`
		8467
		8468	`* Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when`
		8469	`a soft link is used to redirect to the package.`
		8470
		8471	`* Win32 and WinCE toolsets`
		8472	`Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.`
		8473	`CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );`
		8474
		8475	`Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of`
		8476	`a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"`
		8477
		8478	`Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries`
		8479	`in the same manner at Shared Libraries.`
		8480
		8481	`* WinCE toolsets`
		8482	`Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve`
		8483	`compiler specific libraries.`
		8484
		8485	`* SOLARIS toolset`
		8486	`Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line`
		8487	`with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with`
		8488	`OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.`
		8489
		8490	`Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared`
		8491	`libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being`
		8492	`cleaned up.`
		8493
		8494	`* Microtec tools set (MOS)`
		8495	`Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args`
		8496
		8497	`* jats_rewriter.pl`
		8498	`Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments`

		8503	`Version: JATS_2.11.0 Released: 15-Mar-05`
		8504	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8505	`Major changes:`
		8506	`* BuildPkgArchive operation`
		8507	`The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area`
		8508	`The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform`
		8509	`specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories`
		8510
		8511	`Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process`
		8512	`of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.`
		8513
		8514	`* Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the`
		8515	`user.`
		8516
		8517	`* MOS Microtec Toolset`
		8518	`Always present an absolute filename to the compiler`
		8519	`Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress`
		8520
		8521	`This will remove error messages about the path being too long`
		8522	`for the -Gf option.`
		8523
		8524	`Minor changes:`
		8525	`* SOLARIS Toolset`
		8526	`Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line`
		8527
		8528	`* Win32 and WinCE Toolset`
		8529	`Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or`
		8530	`the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to`
		8531	`figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.`
		8532
		8533	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8534	`Version: JATS_2.10.0 Released: 11-Mar-05`
		8535	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8536	`Major changes:`
		8537	`* Extended BuildName to accept the form`
		8538	`BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );`
		8539
		8540	`* MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.`
		8541	`Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and`
		8542	`data addresses for the board.`
		8543
		8544	`BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );`
		8545
		8546	`Will set the code,data address for the debugable image`
		8547
		8548	`* Extended the PackageXxxxx options`
		8549	`1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy`
		8550	`Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the`
		8551	`"platform" name. Only useful within the context of the`
		8552	`PackageFile`
		8553
		8554	`2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile`
		8555	`directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the`
		8556	`platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a`
		8557	`suffix. In practice this is the logical use.`
		8558
		8559	`* Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been`
		8560	`discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files`
		8561	`to be installed and packaged.`
		8562
		8563	`Minor changes:`
		8564
		8565	`* cache_dpkg utility`
		8566	`If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache`
		8567	`entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.`
		8568
		8569	`* label utility`
		8570	`New option -auto to create and label`
		8571
		8572	`* Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files`
		8573	`This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names`
		8574
		8575	`* The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument`
		8576	`This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root`
		8577	`directory. ie:`
		8578
		8579	`BuildDirTree ( '', 'pkg' );`
		8580
		8581	`* Fixed DEVIM 00019520`
		8582	`The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to`
		8583	`the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.`

		8591
		8592	`* Added the jats tool jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.`
		8593	`To be used by the nightly build process.`
		8594
		8595	`* Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.`
		8596	`The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the`
		8597	`compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete`
		8598	`the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.`
		8599
		8600	`The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's`
		8601	`interface directory and to remove all temp files before each`
		8602	`compilation.`
		8603
		8604	`This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.`
		8605
		8606	`Minor changes:`
		8607	`* The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if`
		8608	`one is being produced.`
		8609
		8610	`* Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"`
		8611	`option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better`
		8612	`job of cleaning the workspace.`
		8613
		8614	`* Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS`
		8615
		8616	`* Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive`
		8617
		8618	`* Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.`
		8619	`This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.`

		8622	`Version: JATS_2.8.0 Released: 17-Feb-05`
		8623	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8624	`Major changes:`
		8625	`* Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be`
		8626	`installed in order for the compilers to work.`
		8627
		8628	`* New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220`
		8629
		8630	`* All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile`
		8631	`This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the`
		8632	`same directory`
		8633
		8634	`* Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag`
		8635	`_DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the`
		8636	`documenattion.`
		8637
		8638	`Minor changes:`
		8639	`* Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings`
		8640	`Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match`
		8641
		8642	`* Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with`
		8643	`spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.`
		8644
		8645	`* Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.`
		8646	`Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB`
		8647
		8648	`* Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display`
		8649	`when the verbose option had not been selected`
		8650
		8651	`* Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files`
		8652	`would prevent the execution of the command. This command should`
		8653	`be exempt from this test.`
		8654
		8655	`* Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE`
		8656	`platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.`
		8657
		8658	`* The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build`
		8659	`clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.`
		8660
		8661	`Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be`
		8662	`removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"`
		8663	`does.`
		8664
		8665	`* The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will`
		8666	`not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.`
		8667
		8668
		8669	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8670	`Version: JATS_2.7.0 Released: 09-Feb-05`
		8671	`------------------------------------------------------------------------`
		8672	`Major changes:`
		8673	`* First release with support for the DAFBR compiler`
		8674
		8675	`* Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:`
		8676	`--Interface - Pull lib from Interface directory`
		8677	`--Local - Pull lib from Local directory (default)`
		8678	`--SubDir=pathname - Pull lib from a subdirectory`
		8679	`Note: xxxx,pathname still works`
		8680
		8681	`* Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling`
		8682	`operations.`
		8683
		8684	`* Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.`
		8685
		8686	`* Added this manual ChangeLog file`
		8687
		8688	`Minor changes`
		8689	`* Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to`
		8690	`be run in a controlled environment from the command line.`
		8691
		8692	`* Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various`
		8693	`toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the`
		8694	`directory is not added to the library path.`
		8695
		8696	`Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will`
		8697	`not add the xxxx/lib to the path.`
		8698
		8699	`* cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.`
		8700	`The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search`
		8701	`first in an attempt to speed up the process.`
		8702
		8703	`* The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not`
		8704	`begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler`
		8705	`specific flags.`
		8706
		8707	`* The use of linker flags will issue a warning.`
		8708
		8709	`* Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been`
		8710	`determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions`
		8711	`such they are available to the common makefile.pl.`
		8712
		8713	`* Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify`
		8714	`a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of`
		8715	`JATS.`
		8716
		8717	`* Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that`
		8718	`caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.`
		8719
		8720	`* The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS`
		8721	`projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full`
		8722	`pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.`
		8723
		8724	`* The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to`
		8725	`the initial DLL or EXE.`
		8726
		8727	`* Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may`
		8728	`fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created`
		8729	`since the "generate" phase was not being run.`
		8730
		8731	`Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated`
		8732	`and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive`
		8733
		8734	`* JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.`
		8735
		8736	`* The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.`
		8737	`Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.`
		8738
		8739	`* Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if`
		8740	`the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's`
		8741	`objects.`
		8742
		8743	`* Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make`
		8744	`command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in`
		8745	`that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always`
		8746	`build defendants.`
