     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
800
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
801
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
802
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
803
 
804
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
805
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
806
     different architectures.
807
 
808
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
809
     are directed to one or more machines.
810
 
811
     Intended uses:
812
        Windows: Creating installers. 
813
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
814
 
815
       All: Specialized packaging.
816
 
817
    * Makefiles
818
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
819
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
820
      Eg:
821
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
822
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
823
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
824
      It could also have been written as:
825
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
826
      but NOT as:
827
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
828
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
829
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
830

839
 
840
Minor changes:
841
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
842
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
843
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
844
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
845
 
846
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
847
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
848
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
849
 
850
    * GenerateFiles directive
851
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
852

870
 
871
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
872
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
873
 
874
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
875
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
876
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
877
      machine may build the toolset.
878
 
879
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
880
      platform.

904
      Added -skim option
905
 
906
    * Utility: sandbox
907
      Many improvements:
908
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
909
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
910
 
911
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
912
 
913
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
914
        if an error is detected.
915
 
916
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
917
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
918
 
919
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be

      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
931
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
932
 
933
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support

      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1048
 
1049
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1050
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1051
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.

1112
      [JATS-266] jats install and package - does not preserve symbolic links
5885 dpurdie 1113
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 1114
      the library: link and soname.
1115
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not

    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1635
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1636
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1637
 
1638
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1639
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1640
      duplicates corrected.
1641

1645
 
1646
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1647
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1648
      displayed at the end of the build process.

2192
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2193
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2194
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2195
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2196
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2197
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2198
 
2199
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2200
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2201
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2202
 
2203
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2204
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2208
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2209
Major changes:
2210
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2211
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2212
      intended to build deployed software.
2213
 
2214
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2215
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2216
 
2217
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2218
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2219
 
2220
Minor changes:
2221
    * Jats wrapper script
2222
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2223
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2224
      Subversion instance of the command.
2225
 
2226
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2227
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2228
 
2229
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2230
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2231
 
2232
    * Utility: jats upddep
2233
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2234
      file under windows.
2235
 
2236
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2237
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2238
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2239
 
2240
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2241
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2242
 
2243
    * GCC Toolchain
2244
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2260
Major changes:
2261
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2262
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2263
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2264
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2265
 
2266
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2267
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

3559 dpurdie 2276
 
2277
Minor changes:
2278
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2279
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2280
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2281
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2282
      line.
2283
 
2284
    * Jats Configuration
2285
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2286
 
2287
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2288
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2289
      and Linux.
2290
 
2291
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2292
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
2298
 
2299
Minor changes:
2300
    * Jats Core
2301
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2302
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2303
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2304
 
2305
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2306
      Used only by the build daemons.
2307
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2308
 
2309
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2310
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2311
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2316
Major changes:
2317
 
2318
Minor changes:
2319
    * svnrelease utility
2320
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2321
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2322
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2323
 
2324
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2325
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2326
      the named tag.
2327
 
2328
    * svnrelease utility
2329
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2330
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
2340
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
2341
        covered by the makefile.
2342
 
2343
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2344
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2345
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2346
 
2347
    * ALL Toolsets
2348
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2349
 
2350
    * Utility vcsdiff
2351
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2352
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2353
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2361
    * Subversion Extraction
2362
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2363
      directory of the tag.
2364
 
2365
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2366
      repository.
2367
 
2368
    * Subversion Support
2369
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2370
      showing the user what to do.
2371
 
2372
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2373
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2374
      we have build support for this target.
2375
 
2376
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2377
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2378
 
2379
Internal:
2380
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2381
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2382
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2383
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
2398
 
2399
Minor changes:
2400
    * Makefile generation
2401
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2402
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2403
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2404
      of warnings.
2405
 
2406
    * Makefile Generation
2407
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2416
Major changes:
2417
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2418
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2419
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2420
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2421
 
2422
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2423
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2424
      windows path scheme.
2425
 
2426
Minor changes:
2427
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2428
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2429
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2430
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2431
 
2432
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2433
        jats make clobber
2434
      This operates as before.
2435
 
2436
    * Utility: escrow
2437
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2438
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2439
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2440
 
2441
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2442
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2443
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2444
 
2445
    * Utility: svn : url
2446
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2447
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2448
 
2449
    * Utility: svn : import
2450
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2451
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2452
 
2453
    * Subversion Support
2454
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2455
      showing the user what to do.
2456
 
2457
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2458
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2459
      repositories.

2464
 
2465
Minor changes:
2466
    * Jats build
2467
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2468
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2469
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2470
 
2471
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2472
      command, with a sandbox.

2482
      Added two subcommands
2483
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2484
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2485
                 Can also display available branches.
2486
 
2054 dpurdie 2487
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2493
 
2494
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2495
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2496
      Modified two options:
2497
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2498
                        The named branch must not exist
2499
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2500
                        The named branch must exist
2501
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2510
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2511
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2512
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2535
 
2536
Major changes:
2537
    * Jats Version Number
2538
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2539
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2540
      significantly.

2552
Major changes:
2553
    * Subversion support
2554
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2555
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2556
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2557
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2558
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2559
 
2560
Minor changes:
2561
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2562
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2563
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2564
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2565
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2566
 
2567
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2568
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2569
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2570
 
2571
    * Linux support utilities
2572
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2573

Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
2578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2579
Major changes:
2580
    * Subversion Repository location
2581
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2582
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2583
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2584
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2585
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2586
 
2587
Minor changes:
2588
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2589
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2590
 
2591
    * Utility: svnrelease
2592
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2593
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2594
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2595
 
2596
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2597
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2598
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2599
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2600
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2601
 
2602
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2603
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2604
 
2605
    * Utility: sandbox
2606
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2607
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2608
 
2609
      Subcommand: populate
2610
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2611
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2612
      sandbox.
2613
 
2614
    * Subversion Support
2615
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2616
      repository is not supported.
2617
 
2618
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2619
      a progress indication.
2620
 
2621
    * Jats Online Documentation
2622
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2623
      online documentation.
2624
 
2625
    * Generated makefiles
2626
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2676

2703
Major changes:
2704
 
2705
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2706
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2707
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2708
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2709
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2710
 
2711

2724
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2725
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2726
 
2727
    * Utility ccrelease
2728
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2729
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2730
 
2731
    * Utility: svn
2732
      Improved package import processing.
2733
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2761
Major changes:
2762
 
2763
Minor changes:
2764
    * Command: jats clobber
2765
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2766
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2767
 
2768
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2769
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2770
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2771
 
2772
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2773
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2774
 
377 dpurdie 2775
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2776
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2777
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2778
 
2779
    * jats svnlabel
2780
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2781
 
2782
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2783
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2784
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2785
 
2786
    * Built Daemon support
2787
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2788
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2789

2792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2793
Major changes:
2794
    * GCC Toolset
2795
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2796
      New methodology is:
2797
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2798
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2799
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2800
        as the main binary.
2801
 
2802
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2803
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2804
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2805
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2806
      both worlds.
2807
 
2808
Minor changes:
2809
    * HTML Documentation
2810
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2811
 
2812
Internal changes:
2813

2819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2820
Major changes:
2821
    * Jats Sandbox
2822
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2823
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2824
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2825
 
2826
    * RIORDS Platform
2827
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

    * New Platform and Toolchain
371 dpurdie 2845
      Platform is RIORDS. This uses the MSP430 toolchain.
369 dpurdie 2846
      Beta release of this toolchain
2847
 
2848
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
2849
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
2850
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2851
 
2852
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2853
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2854
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2855
      a vob.
2856
 
2857
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

Major changes:
2885
 
2886
Minor changes:
2887
    * Jats Utility:
2888
      Added 'ccdelete_view'. This utility will delete a Clear Case view given a
2889
      viewtag, even if the view has been deleted from disk.
2890
 
2891
    * Jats startup
2892
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible
2893
      to the user. An error will also be report if jats is directed to change to
2894
      in inaccessible directory.
2895
 
2896
    * Building an ANT project.
2897
      Jats will warn if a buildfile does not have an associated depends file.

    * Makefile generation
2911
        Removed the use of the .rul file. Now generated in place.

Minor changes:
2920
    * Utility: cclabel
2921
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
2922
      the clearcase label.
2923
 
2924
    * Subversion support

2932
Major changes:
2933
    * New toolset: ARM251
2934
 
2935
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2936
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
2937
 
2938
Minor changes:
2939
    * HTML Help
2940
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2941
 
2942
    * jats build -noforce
2943
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2944
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2945
      be forced.
2946
 
2947
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2948
 
2949
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2950
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2951
 
2952
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2953
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2954
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2955
 
2956
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2957
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2958
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2959
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2960
 
2961
    * Utility: svnrelease
2962
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2963
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2964
 
2965
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2966
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2967
 
2968

331 dpurdie 3368
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
3369
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3370
Major changes:
3371
 
3372
Minor changes:
3373
    * Jats label command
3374
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3375
      Not recommended for general use.
3376
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3377
      directories within the current view.
3378
 
3379
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3380
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3381
      elsewhere.
3382
 
3383
    * Jats save_build
3384
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3385
      the determination of a branch.
3386
 
3387
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3388
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3389
 
3390
    * Jats build
3391
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3392
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3393
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3394
 
3395
    * Borland6 toolset
3396
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3397
      to match the documented install location of:
3398
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3399
 
3400
    * Jats build
3401
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3402
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3403
      This is a very quick operation.
3404
 
3405
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3406
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3407
 
3408
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3409
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3410
      files are only recreated if need be.
3411
 
3412
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3413
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3414
      make the package.
3415
 
3416
    * Jats sandbox
3417
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3418
 
3419
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3420
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3421
 
3422
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3423
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3424
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3425
      is performed.
3426
 
3427
Internal:
3428
    * build.pl
3429
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl            
3430

3448
Major changes:
3449
    * New compiler support
3450
      Support for the Keil Arm V4.03a compiler
3451
      This is enabled via:
3452
        build.pl: BuildPlatforms ( 'H400,--Version=4.03a' );

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3461
Major changes:
3462
 
3463
Minor changes:
3464
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3465
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3466
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3467
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3468
 
3469
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3470
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3471
 
3472
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3473
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3474
      platform builds.
3475
 
3476
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3477
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3478
      directory tree.
3479
 
3480
    * New command: jats man
3481
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3482
 
3483
Internal changes:
3484
    * jats upddep
3485
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3486
 
3487
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3488
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
3489
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 3492
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3494
Major changes:
3495
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3496
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3497
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3498
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3499
 
3500
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3501
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3502
 
3503
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3504
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3505
 
3506
      Examples:
3507
            jats upddep -show
3508
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3509
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3510
 
3511
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3512
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3513
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3514
 
3515
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3516
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3517
 
3518
Minor changes:
3519
 
3520
Internal changes:
3521
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3522
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3527
Major changes:
3528
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3529
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3530
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3531
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3532
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3533
      stream.
3534
 
3535
      Example:
3536
 
3537
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3538
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3539
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3540
                     );
3541
Minor changes:
3542
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3543
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3544
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3545
      directive.
3546
 
3547
    * GCC Toolkit
3548
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3549
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3550
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3551
      the point of termination.
3552
 
3553
    * Jats save_build utility
3554
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3555
      under windows.
3556
 
3557
    * Jats sandbox
3558
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3559
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3560
      in different sandboxes.
3561
 
3562
    * Jats release
3563
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3564

3570
Minor changes:
3571
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3572
      Added -locatedir=name
3573
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3574
      directory.
3575
 
3576
    * jats label utility
3577
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3578
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3579
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3580
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3581
 
3582
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3583

3589
Minor changes:
3590
    * WinCe Toolsets
3591
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3592
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3593
        noExceptions            - Disable
3594
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3595
      Example:
3596
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3597
 
3598
    * Solaris targets
3599
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3600
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3601
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3602
      machine type.

3606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3607
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3608
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3609
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3610
      project files.
3611
 
3612
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3613
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3614
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3615
 
3616
Minor changes:
3617
    * Added more internal documentation
3618
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3619
 
3620
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3621
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3622
 
3623
    * Jats save_build utility
3624
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3625
      under windows.
3626
 
3627
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3628
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3629
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3630
      libraries.
3631
 
3632
    * Solaris builds
3633
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3634
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3635
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3636
      of the build failure.
3637
 
3638
 
3639
Internal changes:
3640
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3641
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3642
 
3643
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3644
      PkgArchive topics.

3648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3649
Major changes:
3650
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3651
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3652
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3653
      existing 32-bit builds.
3654
 
3655
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3656
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3657
 
3658
Minor changes:
3659
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3660
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3661
 
3662
    * Package searching
3663
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3664
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3665
 
3666
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3667
 
3668
    * jats help
3669
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3670
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3671
 
3672
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3673
      with one of:
3674
        jats -h
3675
        jats help jats
3676
 
3677
Internal:
3678
    * cmdfile utility
3679
      Added macros:
3680
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3681
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3682
 
3683
      Corrected
3684
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3685
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3686
 
3687
      Extended
3688
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3689
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3690
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3691
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3700
Internal changes
3701
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3702
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3703
      Useful side effects include:
3704
 
3705
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3706
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3707
 
3708
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3709
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3710
 
3711
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3712
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3713
        BuildPkgArchive
3714
 
313 dpurdie 3715
    * Perl Modules
3716
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3717
      release. This will:
3718
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3719
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3720
          reported by ERG.
3721
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3730
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3731
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3732
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3733
 
3734
    * Jats label utility
3735
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3736
 
3737
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3738
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3739
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3740
 
3741
    * Jats core
3742
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3743
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3744
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3753
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3754
      This is now fixed.
3755
 
309 dpurdie 3756
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3757
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3758
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3759
 
3760
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3761
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3769
    * Generating makefiles
3770
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3771
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3772
      an error.
3773
 
3774
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3775
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3776
 
3777
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3778
      Highly specialized directive.

3784
Major changes:
3785
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3786
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3787
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3788
 
3789
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3790
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3791
 
3792
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3793
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3794
      Support includes
3795
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3796
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3797
 
3798
Minor changes:
3799
    * Build file processing
3800
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3801
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3802
 
3803
    * MOS builds
3804
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3805
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3806
 
3807
    * MOS builds
3808
      New 'known' product: PICP
3809
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3810
 
3811
    * GenerateFiles directive
3812
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3813
        under windows.
3814
 
3815
        .
3816
 
3817
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3818
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3819
 
3820
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3821
      to the output stream.
3822
 
3823
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3824
 
3825
    * Windows Shell
3826
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3827
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3828
 
3829
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3830
 
3831
    * H8S toolset
3832
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3833
 
3834
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3835
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3836
 
3837
Internal changes
3838
    * WinCe builds
3839
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3840
      content of the file.
3841
 
3842
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3843
 
3844
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3845
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
3858
 
3859
Minor changes:
3860
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3861
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3862
      Changes are transparent to users.
3863
 
3864
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3865
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3866
      this occurs.
3867
 
3868
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3869
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3870
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3871
      automated build framework.
3872
 
3873
    * jats sandbox command
3874
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3875
      'create' command.
3876
 
3877
    * jats command aliases. Added
3878
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3879

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3884
Major changes:
3885
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3886
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3887
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3888
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3889
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3890
      will work as expected
3891
 
3892
Minor changes:
3893
    * VS2008 Toolset
3894
      Picking up incorrect config details
3895
      May result in a warning message.
3896
 
3897
    * gen_cots utility
3898
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3899
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3900
 
3901
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3902
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3950
Major changes:
3951
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3952
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3953
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3954
 
3955
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3956
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3957
 
3958
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3959
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3960
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3961
           names cannot be changed.
3962
 
3963
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3964
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3965
 
3966
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3967
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3968
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3969
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3970
 
3971
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3972
      file.
3973
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3974
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3975
      MyPackage.dpk.
3976
 
3977
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3978
      file.
3979
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3980
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3981
      MyDll.dpr.
3982
 
3983
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3984
      file.
3985
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
3986
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
3987
      MyProg.dpr.
3988
 
3989
Minor changes:
3990
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
3991
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
3992
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
3993
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
3994
 
3995
    * BuildVersion directive
3996
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
3997
      in a Delphi Unit.
3998
 
3999
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4000
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4001
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4002
      'know' the location of the files.
4003
 
4004
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4005
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4006
 
4007
Internal Changes:
4008
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4009
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4010
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4011
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4012
 
4013
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4014
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4015
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4016

287 dpurdie 4018
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4020
Major changes:
4021
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4022
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4023
      information for purely C++ builds.
4024
 
289 dpurdie 4025
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4026
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4027
 
289 dpurdie 4028
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4029
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4030
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4031
 
4032
Minor changes:
4033
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4034
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4035
 
4036
    * updatenodespec utility
4037
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4038
      Manager database.

4060
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
4061
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4062
 
4063
Minor changes:
4064
    * MergeLibrary directive
4065
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4066
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4067
 
4068

4074
Minor changes:
4075
    * New command: jats make show
4076
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4077
      used in the build.
4078
 
4079
    * Escrow command
4080
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4081
 
4082
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4083
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4084
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4085
 
4086
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4087
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4088
 
4089

277 dpurdie 4091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4092
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4093
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4094
 
279 dpurdie 4095
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4096
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4097
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4098
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4099
 
4100
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4101
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4102
 
4103
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4104
 
4105
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4106
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4107
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4108
 
4109
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4110
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4111
        processed.
4112
 
4113
      Removed the '-delete' option
4114
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4115
 
277 dpurdie 4116
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4117
    * Sandbox command
4118
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4119
 
4120
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4121
      target from consideration in the build set.
4122
 
4123
    * MCR Toolset
4124
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4125
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4126
 
4127
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4128
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4129
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4130
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4131
 
4132
    * Jats run_test command
4133
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4134
      tests we run on a Window machine.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
4324
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4325
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4326
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

4349
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4350
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4351
 
4352
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

Major changes:
4579
 
4580
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4581
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4582
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4583
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4584
 
4585
Minor changes:
4586
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4587
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4588
 
4589
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4590
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4595
Major changes:
4596
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4597
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4598
 
4599
      New platforms:
4600
        CSHARP2005
4601
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4602
         Support extends to allow:
4603
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4604
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4605
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4606
 
4607
        VS2005
4608
         Support extends to allow:
4609
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4610
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4611
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4612
 
4613
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4614
      through a version selector:
4615
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4616
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4617
 
4618
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4619
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4620
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4621
 
4622
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4623
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4624
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4625
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4626
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4627
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4628
          under VS2005.
4629
 
4630
Minor changes:
4631
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4634
 
4635
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4636
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4637
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4638
 
4639
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4640
 
4641
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4642
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4643
 
4644
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4645
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4646
      a minimal value of perl.
4647
 
4648
      Removed excessive require statements.
4649
 
4650
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4651
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4652
      Include JATS specific files for
4653
        1) Windows
4654
        2) Linux
4655
 
4656
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4657
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4658
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4659
      machines.
4660
 
4661
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4662
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4663
 
4664
    * JATS Environment
4665
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4666
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4667
 
4668
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4669
      wrapper scripts.
4670
 
4671
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4672
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4673
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4726
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4727
  * New toolset and platform
4728
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4729
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4730
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4731
    this platform.
4732
 
4733
Minor changes:
4734
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4735
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4736
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4737
    work.
4738
 
4739
  * Jats utility: release
4740
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4741
    published to dpkg_archive.
4742
 
249 dpurdie 4743
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4744
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4745
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4746
    supported for ANT builds.
4747
 
4748
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4749
        releasemanager.releasename
4750
        releasemanager.projectname
4751
 
4752
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4753
    tagged data item of the form
4754
 
4755
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4756
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4757
 
4758
  * Mug File Generation
4759
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4760
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4761
 
4762
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4763
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4764
    required.
4765
 
4766
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4767
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4768
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4769
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4770
    the files in order to use them.
4771
 
4772
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4773
    locate the file.
4774
 
4775
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4776
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4777
 
4778
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4779
        * CSharp
4780
        * Properties
4781
        * WinRC
4782
 
4783
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4784
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4785
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4786
    Value is correctly assigned.
4787

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4791
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4792
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4793
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4794
 
4795
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4796
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4797
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4798
 
4799
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4800
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4801
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4802
 
4803
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4804
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4805
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4806
 
4807
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4808
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4809
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4810
    correct.
4811
 
4812
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4813
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4814
 
4815
Minor changes:
4816
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4817
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4818
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4819
 
4820
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4821
    This will simplify new user setup.
4822
 
4823
  * All Unix Toolsets
4824
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4825
    on unix systems
4826
 
4827
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4828
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4829
    on some Solaris Machines.
4830
 
4831
  * JATS -version=<version>
4832
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4833
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4834

4877
 
4878
  * JATS builds
4879
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4881
    mode.
4882
 
4883
  * JATS makefiles
4884
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4885
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4886
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4887
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4888
                            SetList directive.
4889
 
4890

4899
  * JATS buildfile processing
4900
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
4901
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
4902
    of JATS.
4903
 
4904

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
4935
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4936
 
4937
    * MOS Toolset
4938
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
4939
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
4940
 
4941
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
4942
      can have production (PIC) components.
4943
 
4944
    * Utility command: jats abt
4945
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option

4991
    * MOS Compiler
4992
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the

      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
4994
 
4995
    * Utility: create_dpkg
4996
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
4997
      descpkg files to be copied.
4998
 
4999

5034
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5035
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5036
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5037
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5038
 
5039
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5040
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5041
 
5042
    * Jats wrapper
5043
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5044
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5045
 
5046

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
5048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5049
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5050
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5051
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5052
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5053
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5054
 
5055
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5056
 
5057
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5058
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5059
 
5060
    * Running Jats
5061
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5062
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5063
      This may affect some windows developers.
5064
 
5065
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5066
      Future versions will generate an error.
5067
 
5068
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5069
 
5070
Minor changes:
5071
    * Perl Version Check
5072
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5073
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5074
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5075
 
5076
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5077
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5078
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5079
      build.
5080
 
5081
    * Jats Internals
5082
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5083
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5084
 
5085
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5086
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5087
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5088
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5089
      process.
5090
 
5091
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5092
      Only works under Windows.
5093
 
5094
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5095
 
5096
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5097
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5098
 
5099
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5100
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5101
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5102
 
5103
    * Jats eprog
5104
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5105
      directory.
5106
 
5107
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5108
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5109
      build metrics.
5110

5113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5114
Major changes:
5115
 
5116
Minor changes:
5117
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5118
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5119
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5120
      automated build system. New options are:
5121
        -pname=Package_Name
5122
        -pversion=Package_Version
5123
 
5124
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5125
      transferring the package. New options are:
5126
        -test
5127
 
5128
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5129
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5130
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5131
 
5132
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5133
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5134
 
5135
    * Solaris Toolset
5136
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5137
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5138
      programs are still supported.
5139
 
5140
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5141
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
5142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5143
Major changes:
5144
 
5145
Minor changes:
5146
    * WINCE toolsets
5147
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5148
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5149
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5150
      when header files cannot be found.
5151
 
5152
    * GenerateFiles directive
5153
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5154
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5155
      that are difficult to solve.
5156
 
5157
    * MakePerlModule directive
5158
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5159
      to the the module builder.
5160
 
5161
    * Jats Tool: label
5162
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5163
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5164
      -dirs=xxx options.
5165
 
5166
    * Jats Tool: release
5167
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5168
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5169
 
5170
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5171
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5172
 
5173
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5174
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5175
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5176
 
5177
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.
5178

5182
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5183
Major changes:
5184
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5185
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5186
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5187
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5188
 
5189
Minor changes:
5190
    * label utility
5191
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5192
 
5193
    * make package and install operations
5194
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5195
      transfer.
5196
 
5197
    * make clean up
5198
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5199
 
5200
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5201
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5202
      minor file transformations such as:
5203
        Copy, with optional rename
5204
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5205
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5206
 
5207
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5208
 
5209
    * jats release utility
5210
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5211
      in place.
5212
 
5213
    * escrow utility
5214
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5215
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.
5216

5220
Major changes:
5221
 
5222
Minor changes:
5223
    * Makefile generation
5224
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5225
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5226
      generate phase early.
5227
 
5228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5229
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
5230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5231
Major changes:
5232
 
5233
Minor changes:
5234
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5235
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5236
 
5237
    * Makefile generation
5238
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5239
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5240
 
5241
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5242
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5243
 
5244
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5245
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5246
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5247
 
5248
    * jats_rewrite utility
5249
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5250
 
5251
    * jats escrow utility
5252
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5253
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5254
 
5255
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5256
      inconsistent packages.
5257
 
5258
    * jats make help
5259
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5260
      available within the current build.
5261
 
5262
    * jats makefiles
5263
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5264
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5265
 
5266
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5267
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5268
 
5269
    * gcc toolset
5270
      SharedLibries.
5271
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5272
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5273
 
5274
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5275
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5276
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5277
 
5278
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5279
        New options:
5280
            --MultiScan
5281
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5282
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5283
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.
5284
 
5285
 
5286

5287
Version: 2.71.1.cr                                Released: 16-Oct-07
5288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5289
Major changes:
5290
 
5291
Minor changes:
5292
    PackageLib directive
5293
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5294
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5295
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5296
 
5297
    MakefileGenerate directive
5298
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5299
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5300
 
5301
    Multiple Parent detection
5302
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5303
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5304
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5305
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5306
 
5307
    Solaris Toolset
5308
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5309
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5310
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5311
    link.
5312
 
5313
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5314
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5315
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5316
 
5317
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5318
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5319
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5320
    file.
5321

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
5324
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5325
Major changes:
5326
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5327
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5328
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5329
 
5330
    Summary of changes:
5331
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5332
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5333
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5334
          flexibility.
5335
 
5336
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5337
 
5338
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5339
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5340
          interface directory and associated build information.
5341
 
5342
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5343
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5344
          than one second.
5345
 
5346
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5347
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5348
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5349
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5350
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5351
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5352
 
5353
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5354
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5355
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5356
 
5357
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5358
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5359
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5360
          building them.
5361
 
5362
        - Detection of build file changes
5363
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5364
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5365
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5366
 
5367
        - Quieter make output
5368
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5369
 
5370
 
5371
Minor changes:
5372
    MakeAnt Directive
5373
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5374
 
5375
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5376
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5377
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5378
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5379
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5380
 
5381
    CSHARP toolset
5382
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5383

5389
Minor changes:
5390
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5391
    are generated.
5392
 
5393
    MakeAnt
5394
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5395
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5396
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5397
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5398
 
5399
    MCR platform
5400
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.
5401
    This is a MOS binary and can be download to the MCR devices.

5408
Minor changes:
5409
    MakeAnt directive extended
5410
    New option: --PackageBase
5411
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5412
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5413
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5414
 
5415
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5416
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5417
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5418
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5438
 
5439
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5440
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5441
 
5442
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5443
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5444
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5445
 
5446
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5447
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5448
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5449
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

Minor changes:
5477
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5478
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5479
 
5480
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5481
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5482
      last.
5483
 
5484
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5485
 
5486
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5487
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5488
 
5489
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5490
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5491
 
5492
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5493
 
5494
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5495
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5496
 
5497
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5498
 
5499
 
5500
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5501
           with the --System option
5502
 
5503
    * LMOS target platform

5511
Minor changes:
5512
    * Solaris Toolset
5513
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5514
      dependent packages.
5515
 
5516
    * RunTest operation
5517
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5518
 
5519
    * Csharp toolkit
5520
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

5524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5525
Major changes:
5526
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5527
 
5528
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5529
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5530
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5531
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5532
      path.
5533
 
5534
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5535
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5536
      reproducible.
5537
 
5538
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5539
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5540
 
5541
      There are several aspects to the change
5542
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5543
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5544
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5545
 
5546
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5547
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5548
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5549
          controlled separately.
5550
 
5551
Minor changes:
5552
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5553
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5554
        Remove duplicates
5555
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5556

5560
Major changes:
5561
 
5562
Minor changes:
5563
    * Makefile sanity test
5564
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5565
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5566
 
5567
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5568
      x86 machine.
5569
 
5570
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5571
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5572
 
5573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5574
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5576
Major changes:
5577
    * RunTest directive
5578
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5579
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5580
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5581
 
5582
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5583
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5584
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5585
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5586
 
5587
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5588
        builder within the current toolset.
5589
 
5590
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5591
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5592
 
5593
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5594
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5595
      containing the RunTest directive.
5596
 
5597
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5598
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5599
 
5600
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5601
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5602
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5603
 
5604
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5605
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5606
                            P or D suffix.
5607
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5608
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5609
 
5610
Minor changes:
5611
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5612
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5613
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5614
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5615
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5616
 
5617
    * Save Build Utility
5618
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5619
      used in a ripple build.
5620
 
5621
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5622
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5623
 
5624
    * Release Utility
5625
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5626
      when an error is encountered.
5627
 
5628
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5629
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5630
 
5631
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5632
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5633
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5634
 
5635
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5636
      before the makefiles are created.
5637
 
5638
    * TestProg directive
5639
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5640
 
5641
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5642
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5643
 
5644

5646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5647
Major changes:
5648
    * New build target
5649
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5650
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5651
 
5652
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5653
            DEVLINUX
5654
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5655
 
5656
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5657
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5658
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5659
 
5660
Minor changes:
5661
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5662
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5663
 
5664
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5665
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5666
 
5667
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5668
      and .cs files.
5669
 
5670
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5671
      thing.
5672
 
5673
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5674
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5675
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5676
      were it places temp files.
5677
 
5678
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5679
      interaction with other builds.
5680
 
5681
    * Release utility command
5682
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5683
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5684
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5692
 
5693
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5694
 
5695
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5696
    libraries

5698
Minor changes:
5699
  * Unit Tests
5700
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension

5732
Major changes:
5733
 
5734
Minor changes:
5735
  * WINCE Support
5736
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5737
 
5738
  * Removed the following targets
5739
        TP5600
5740
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5741
        TP5600_EMU
5742
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5743
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5744
 
5745
  * Deployment
5746
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5747
 
5748
  * build.pl
5749
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5750
 
5751
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5752
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5753
 
5754
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5755
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5756
    build.
5757
 
5758
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5759
 
5760
  * Tool: escrow
5761
     New features
5762
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5763
     are not in the SBOM.
5764
 
5765
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5766
 
5767
     Specify packages to be ignored.
5768

5771
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5772
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5773
Major changes:
5774
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5775
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5776
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5777
 
5778
  * GenerateFiles
5779
    Added the options:
5780
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5781
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5782
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5783
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5784
 
5785
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5786
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5787
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5788
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5789
                                  required.
5790
 
5791
 
5792
Minor changes:
5793
  * GenerateFile directive
5794
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5795
 
5796
  * GCC Toolset
5797
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5798
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5799
    be rebuilt.
5800
 
5801
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5802
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5803
 
5804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5805
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5807
Major changes:
5808
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5809
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5810
    environment variables.
5811
 
5812
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5813
            moved.
5814
 
5815
    This will affect users that:
5816
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5817
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5818
 
5819
        2) Use the ABT system
5820
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5821
           the required configuration
5822
 
5823
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5824
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5825
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5826
    Windows
5827
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5828
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5829
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5830
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5831
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5832
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5833
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5834
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5835
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5836
 
5837
 
5838
  * New build platforms
5839
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5840
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5841
 
5842
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5843
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5844
 
5845
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5846
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5847
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5848
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5849
 
5850
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5851
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5852
    release.
5853
 
5854
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5855
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5856
 
5857
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5858
    need to be converted.
5859
 
5860
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5861
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5862
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5863
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5864
    used for different targets platforms.
5865
 
5866
  * Sandbox support
5867
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5868
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5869
 
5870
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5871
 
5872
Minor changes:
5873
 
5874
 
5875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5876
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5878
Major changes:
5879
  * MakeAnt directive
5880
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5881
 
5882
    New options
5883
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5884
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5885
 
5886
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5887
    run_unit_tests phase.
5888
 
5889
  * Sandbox support
5890
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5891
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5892
 
5893
Minor changes:
5894
  * jats build
5895
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5896
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5897
 
5898
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5899
 
5900
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5901
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5902
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5903
 
5904
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5905
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5906
 
5907
  * JATS.BAT
5908
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5909
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5910
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5911
 
5912
  * jats label
5913
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5914
 
5915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5916
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5918
Major changes:
5919
  * New build platform:
5920
        LMOS_TP5600
5921
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5922
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5923
 
5924
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5925
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5926
    describe the group of platforms.
5927
 
5928
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5929
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5930
    build these targets.
5931
 
5932
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5933
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5934
 
5935
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5936
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5937
 
5938
  * New build platform: WINCE
5939
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5940
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5941
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5942
 
5943
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5944
            WCEIT3000
5945
            WCEPA961
5946
            WCEPA962
5947
            WCEPCM7220
5948
            WCEPSION_420
5949
            WCEPSPC_arm
5950
            WCEPSPC_emu
5951
            WCEX86A420
5952
            WCEX86A500
5953
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5954
 
5955
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5956
 
5957
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5958
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5959
    that contain packaging directives.
5960
 
5961
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5962
    very unusual configurations.
5963
 
5964
Minor changes:
5965
  * Directive: PackageFile
5966
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5967
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5968
    an '='.
5969
 
5970
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5971
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5972
 
5973
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5974
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5975
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5976
 
5977
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5978
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5979
 
5980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5981
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5983
Major changes:
5984
 
5985
  * JATS release command
5986
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
5987
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
5988
 
5989
    Rules are:
5990
        Modify a file:      File will branch
5991
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
5992
                            File will be placed on a branch
5993
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
5994
                            New directory will branch
5995
 
5996
Minor changes:
5997
  * JATS release command
5998
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
5999
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6000
 
6001
  * JATS label command
6002
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6003
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6004
 
6005
  * JATS make
6006
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6007
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6008
    was re-packaged.
6009
 
6010
  * JATS escrow
6011
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6012
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6013
 
6014
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6015
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6016
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6017
 
6018
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6019
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6020
    interface directory.
6021
 
6022
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6023
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6024
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6025
    directory as seen by the package.
6026
 
6027
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6028
 
6029
  * JAVA 6
6030
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6031
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6032
 
6033
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6034
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6035
 
6036
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6037
 
6038
  * Jats command: vars
6039
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6040
    These indicate potential problems.
6041
 
6042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6043
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6045
Major changes:
6046
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6047
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6048
    libarry is also created.
6049
 
6050
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6051
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6052
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6053
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6054
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6055
    information contained within the file.
6056
 
6057
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6058
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6059
 
6060
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6061
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6062
 
6063
  * Building Perl Modules
6064
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6065
    documentation on the build machine.
6066
 
6067
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6068
 
6069
Minor changes:
6070
  * jats create_dpkg
6071
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6072
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6073
 
6074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6075
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6077
Major changes:
6078
  * JATS JAVA build target
6079
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6080
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6081
 
6082
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6083
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6084
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6085
    is then picked up as the default version.
6086
 
6087
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6088
    build.pl file.
6089
 
6090
Minor changes:
6091
  * jats release
6092
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6093
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6094
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6095
 
6096
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6097
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6098
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6099
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6100
    the name of the view.
6101
 
6102
  * GenerateFiles directive
6103
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6104
 
6105
  * MOS Toolset
6106
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6107
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6108
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6109
 
6110
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6111
 
6112

Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6115
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6116
Major changes:
6117
 
6118
Minor changes:
6119
  * JATS environment
6120
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6121
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6122
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6123
 
6124
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6125
 
6126
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6127
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6128
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6129
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6130
    to be packaged.
6131
 
6132
  * Generated makefiles
6133
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6134
 
6135
  * Generating MOS THX files
6136
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6137
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6138
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6139
 
6140
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6141
 
6142
  * JATS release
6143
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6144
 
6145
  * JATS extract
6146
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6147
 
6148
  * JATS Toolset
6149
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6150
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6151

6155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6156
Major changes:
6157
 
6158
Minor changes:
6159
  * jats label
6160
    Added a -vob=name option
6161
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6162
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6163
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6164
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6165
 
6166
    Added a -user=name option
6167
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6168
    label to the named user.
6169
 
6170
  * jats release
6171
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6172
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6173
 
6174
  * JATS build.pl
6175
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6176
    ie:
6177
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

6181
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6182
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6183
Major changes:
6184
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6185
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6186
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6187
    the makefile internals. ie:
6188
        --Var(BuildName)
6189
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6190
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6191
 
6192
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6193
 
6194
  * GenerateFiles
6195
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6196
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6197
 
6198
  * BuildPlatforms
6199
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6200
 
6201
Minor changes:
6202
  * GCC Toolset
6203
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6204
 
6205
Internal changes:
6206
  * GenerateFiles
6207
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6208
 
6209
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6210
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6211
 
6212
 
6213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6214
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6216
Major changes:
6217
  * Caching JATS
6218
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6219
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6220
 
6221
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6222
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6223
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6224
 
6225
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6226
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6227
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6228
 
6229
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6230
 
6231
Minor changes:
6232
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6233
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6234
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6235
 
6236
  * jats build
6237
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6238
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6239
    processed by the build.
6240
 
6241
  * jats build
6242
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6243
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6244
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6245
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6246
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6247
 
6248
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6249
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6250
    Path is not specified.
6251
 
6252
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6253
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6254
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6255
        --Dir=$Pinc
6256
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6257
 
6258
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6259
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6260
    Windows platform.
6261
 
6262
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6263
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6264
            by 'purecov.
6265
 
6266
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6267
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6268
 
6269
        - OPTIONS=purify
6270
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6271
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6272
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6273

6277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6278
Major changes:
6279
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6280
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6281
    Example:
6282
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6283
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6284
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6285
 
6286
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6287
    been determined.
6288
 
6289
Minor changes:
6290
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6291
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6292
    located at build-time.
6293
 
6294
  * Unix based systems
6295
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6296
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6297
 
6298
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6299
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6300
    driver being built.
6301

    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6312
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6313
 
6314
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6315
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6316
 
6317
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6318
    dependancy information within a package.
6319
 
6320
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6321
    messages.

6329
 
6330
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6331
 
6332
    GenerateFiles.
6333
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6334
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6335
                      be run on every invocation.
6336
 
6337
 
6338
Minor changes:

6340
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6341
 
6342
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6343
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6344
  There are two mechanism:
6345
 
6346
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6347
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6348
 
6349
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6350
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6351
 
6352
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6353
  default.
6354
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6355
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6356

6360
Major changes:
6361
  * SunWorks Toolset
6362
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6363
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6364
    It is based on machine type.
6365
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6366
 
6367
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6368
 
6369
Minor changes:
6370

6371
    Removed the message showing database connection
6372
 
6373
  * JATS internal library
6374
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers

  * GCC Toolset
6381
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6382
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6383
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6384
 
6385
  * Added platforms
6386
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6393
    field separator.
6394
 
6395
  * JATS eprog command
6396
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6397
 
6398
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6399
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6400
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6401
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6402
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6403
 
6404
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6405
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6406
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6407
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6408
 
6409
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6410
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6423
 
6424
Minor changes:
6425
  * JATS wrapper script
6426
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6427
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6428
    to setup links to system programs.
6429

6468
        debug_debuginfo
6469
 
6470
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6471
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6472
    Theses are:
6473
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6474
        SOLARIS_AMD
6475
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6476
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6477
 
6478
Minor changes:
6479
  * AT3232 toolset
6480
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6493
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6494
    messages
6495
 
6496
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6497
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6498
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6499
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.

Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6504
Major changes:
6505
 
6506
Minor changes:
6507
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6508
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6509
    library without creating the body of the library:
6510
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6511
 
6512
 
6513
  * MOS toolsets
6514
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6515
    library without creating the body of the library:
6516
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6517
 
6518
  * JATS BIN directories
6519
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6520
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6521
    using autoconf.
6522
 
6523
  * Generate directive
6524
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6525
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6526
 
6527
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6528
 
6529

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6531
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6532
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6533
Major changes:
6534
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6535
    Initial release.
6536
 
6537
Minor changes:
6538
 
6539
 
6540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6541
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6543
Major changes:
6544
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6545
    Initial release.
6546
 
6547
  * Packaging directives
6548
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6549
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6550
 
6551
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6552
        SOLARIS
6553
        WIN32
6554
 
6555
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6556
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6557
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6558
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6559
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6560
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6561
 
6562
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6563
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6564
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6565
 
6566
 
6567
Minor changes:
6568
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6569
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6570
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6571
 
6572
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6573
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6574
    location
6575
 
6576
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6577
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6578
 
6579
  * Utility genrc
6580
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6581
 
6582
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6583
    Added option: -new
6584
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6585
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6586
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6587
 
6588
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6589
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6590
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6591
 
6592
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6593
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6594
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6595
 
6596
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6597
   features - in a uniform manner.
6598
 
6599
 
6600
Internal Changes:
6601
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6602
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6603
 
6604
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6605
        1) Platform information available at build time
6606
        2) Dynamic platform names
6607
 
6608
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6609
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6610
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6611
 
6612
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6613
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6614
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6615
 
6616
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6617
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6618
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6619
    needed.
6620
 
6621
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6622
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6623
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6624
    files from all of these.
6625

6627
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6628
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6629
Major changes:
6630
 
6631
Minor changes:
6632
  * WinCE toolset
6633
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6634
 
6635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6636
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6638
Major changes:
6639
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6640
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6641
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6642
 
6643
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6644
 
6645
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6646
    the operations.
6647
 
6648
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6649
 
6650
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6651
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6652
 
6653
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6654
 
6655
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6656
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6657
 
6658
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6659
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6660
    Extended the built-in help
6661
    Added useful error messages
6662
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6663
 
6664
  * WinCE toolset
6665
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6666
 
6667
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6668
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6669
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6670
 
6671
Minor changes:
6672
  * JATS wrapper script
6673
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6674
    the command line.
6675
 
6676
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6677
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6678
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6679
 
6680
Internal Changes:
6681
  * Common Error Reporting
6682
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6683
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6684
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6685
    level.
6686
 
6687
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6688
    displayed.
6689
 
6690
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6691
 
6692
  * Added JatsSystem module
6693
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6695
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6697
Major changes:
6698
 
6699
Minor changes:
6700
  * BR Compiler toolset
6701
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6702
    .def files to include other files.
6703
 
6704
  * IAR toolset
6705
    Added AT7272 support
6706
 
6707
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6708
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6709
 
6710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6711
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6713
Major changes:
6714
 
6715
Minor changes:
6716
  * BR Compiler toolset
6717
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6718
    use.
6719
 
6720
 
6721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6722
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6724
Major changes:
6725
 
6726
Minor changes:
6727
  * Mictotec toolset
6728
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6729
    builds.
6730
 
6731
  * JATS Core
6732
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6733
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6734
    behaviour.
6735
 
6736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6737
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6739
Major changes:
6740
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6741
    Deployment package will be affected.
6742
 
6743
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6744
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6745
 
6746
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6747
 
6748
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6749
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6750
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6751
    packages.
6752
 
6753
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6754
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6755
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6756
 
6757
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6758
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6759
 
6760
Minor changes:
6761
  * SubDir directive
6762
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6763
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6764
 
6765
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6766
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6767
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6768
    of the file usage.
6769
 
6770
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6771
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6772
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6773
 
6774
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6775
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6776
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6777
 
6778
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6779
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6780
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6781
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6782
 
6783
 
6784
Internal Changes:
6785
  * Code refactor
6786
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6787
 
6788
  * Deployment utilities
6789
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6790
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6791
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6792
    the module can locate the file.
6793
 
6794
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6795
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6796
 
6797
  * JATS core
6798
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6799
 
6800
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6801
 
6802
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6803
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6804
    through the use of environment variables.
6805
 
6806
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6807
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6808
 
6809
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6810
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6811
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6812
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6813
 
6814
  * Make environment
6815
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6816
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6817
 
6818
 
6819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6820
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6822
Major changes:
6823
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6824
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6825
 
6826
 
6827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6828
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6830
 
6831
Not Released.
6832
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6833
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6834
 
6835
 
6836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6837
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6839
Major changes:
6840
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6841
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6842
    radically replaced.
6843
 
6844
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6845
    Usage:
6846
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6847
 
6848
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6849
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6850
    this solution:
6851
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6852
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6853
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6854
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6855
 
6856
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6857
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6858
    order to work.
6859
 
6860
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6861
    reduced functionality.
6862
 
6863
 
6864
Minor changes:
6865
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6866
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6867
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6868
 
6869
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6870
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6871
    within the makefiles.
6872
        Options:
6873
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6874
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6875
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6876
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6877
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6878
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6879
        Useage:
6880
 
6881
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6882
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6883
 
6884
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6885
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6886
    is not in the current directory.
6887
 
6888
  * Jats Command: ant'
6889
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6890
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6891
 
6892
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6893
 
6894
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6895
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6896
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6897
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6898
 
6899
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6900
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6901
    Thus
6902
 
6903
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6904
 
6905
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6906
 
6907

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6910
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6911
Major changes:
6912
 
6913
Minor changes:
6914
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6915
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6916
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6917
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6918
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6919
 
6920
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6921
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6922
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6923
 
6924
Internal changes:
6925
  * JATS toolsets
6926
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6927
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6928
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6929
 
6930
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6931
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6932

6934
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6936
Major changes:
6937
  * Jats command: etool
6938
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6939
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6940
 
6941
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6942
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6943
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6944
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6945
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6946
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6947
 
6948
Minor changes:
6949
 
6950
 
6951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6952
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6954
Major changes:
6955
  * JATS environment variables
6956
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6957
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6958
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6959
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6960
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6961
 
6962
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6963
              Remote repository
6964
 
6965
    Added GBE_DPLY
6966
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6967
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6968
 
6969
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6970
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6971
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6972
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6973
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6974
 
6975
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6976
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6977
 
6978
 
6979
Minor changes:
6980
  * JATS utility: build
6981
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6982
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6983
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6984
 
6985
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
6986
    Ensure label is not locked
6987
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
6988
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
6989
 
6990
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
6991
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
6992
    to a specific type of build.
6993
 
6994
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
6995
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
6996
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
6997
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
6998
 
6999
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7000
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7001
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7002
 
7003
  * JATS utility: release
7004
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7005
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7006
 
7007
  * JATS utility: label
7008
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7009
    when it is being created.
7010
 
7011
Internal Changes
7012
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7013
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7014
 
7015
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7016
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7017
 
7018
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7019
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7020
    different results.
7021
 
7022
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7023
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7024
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7025
 
7026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7027
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7029
Major changes:
7030
 
7031
  * MCR toolset
7032
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7033
 
7034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7035
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7037
Major changes:
7038
  * WIN32 utilities
7039
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7040
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7041
 
7042
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7043
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7044
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7045
 
7046
Minor changes:
7047
  * BuildVersion
7048
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7049
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7050
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7051
 
7052
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7053
 
7054
  * Unix Builds
7055
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7056
    library or a shared library.
7057
 
7058
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7059
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7060
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7061
    start with 'lib'.
7062
 
7063
  * BuildPkgArchive
7064
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7065
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7066
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7067
 
7068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7069
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7070
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7071
Major changes:
7072
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7073
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7074
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7075
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7076
    being manually maintained.
7077
 
7078
 
7079
Minor changes:
7080
  * MakeAnt directive
7081
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7082
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7083
    supports ANT builds.
7084
 
7085
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7086
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7087
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7088
 
7089
  * Label utility
7090
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7091
    files to be labeled.
7092
 
7093
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7094
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7095
    on Solaris.
7096
 
7097
  * Generated makefiles
7098
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7099
    nothing.
7100
 
7101
  * MOS Toolset
7102
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7103
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7104
    modules.
7105
 
7106
  * Utility: gen_cots
7107
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7108
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7109
 
7110
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7111
 
7112
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7113
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7114
 
7115
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7116
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7118
Major changes:
7119
  None
7120
 
7121
Minor changes:
7122
  * DEVI addressed
7123
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7124
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7125
 
7126
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7127
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7128
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7129
 
7130
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7131
 
7132
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7133
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7134
 
7135
  * RunTest directive
7136
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7137
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7138
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7139
 
7140
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7141
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7142
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7143
    packaged under JATS
7144
 
7145
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7146
          supported within JATS.
7147
 
7148
  * Jats utility wrapper
7149
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7150
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7151
 
7152
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7153
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7154
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7155
 
7156
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7157
    Eg: jats ant
7158
 
7159
  * Jats utility wrapper
7160
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7161
 
5710 dpurdie 7162
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7163
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7164
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7165
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7166
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7167
 
5710 dpurdie 7168
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7169
    expect a build.pl file.
7170
 
7171
  * Jats utility wrapper
7172
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7173
 
7174
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7175
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7176
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7177
 
7178
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7179
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7180
 
7181
  * Build files
7182
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7183
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7184
 
7185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7186
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7187
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7188
Major changes:
7189
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7190
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7191
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7192
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7193
 
7194
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7195
 
7196
Minor changes:
7197
  * None
7198
 
7199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7200
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7202
Major changes:
7203
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7204
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7205
    ie:
7206
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7207
 
7208
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7209
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7210
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7211
    environments are compatible.
7212
 
7213
 
7214
Minor changes:
7215
  * BuildName option
7216
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7217
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7218
 
7219
  * jats.bat
7220
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7221
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7222
 
7223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7224
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7226
Major changes:
7227
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7228
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7229
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7230
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7231
 
7232
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7233
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7234
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7235
 
7236
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7237
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7238
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7239
 
7240
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7241
    transferred.
7242
 
7243
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7244
    See notes below.
7245
 
7246
  * WIN32 toolset
7247
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7248
    correctly.
7249
 
7250
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7251
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7252
 
7253
  * BuildVersion
7254
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7255
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7256
    other langauges as needed.
7257
 
7258
 
7259
Minor changes:
7260
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7261
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7262
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7263
    version strings.
7264
 
7265
  * GenerateFiles directive
7266
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7267
    package or an imported package.
7268
 
7269
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7270
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7271
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7272
 
7273
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7274
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7275
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7276
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7277
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7278
 
7279
Internal Changes
7280
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7281
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7282
    of utilities.
7283
 
7284
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7285
    functions.
7286
 
7287
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7288
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7290
Major changes:
7291
  * Generated makefiles
7292
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7293
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7294
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7295
 
7296
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7297
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7298
    incorrectly processing:
7299
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7300
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7301
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7302
    confused.
7303
 
7304
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7305
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7306
    The construct
7307
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7308
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7309
    then it works.
7310
 
7311
  * MakeAnt directive
7312
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7313
 
7314
    This option has the following effects
7315
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7316
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7317
 
7318
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7319
           early - in the generated files phase.
7320
 
7321
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7322
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7323
 
7324
 
7325
Minor changes:
7326
  * JATS post-installation script
7327
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7328
 
7329
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7330
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7331
    windows.
7332
 
7333
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7334
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7335
 
7336
  * Jats wrapper script
7337
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7338
        1) Contain spaces
7339
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7340
 
7341
  * Toolset
7342
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7343
 
7344
  * JAVA toolset
7345
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7346
    directive:
7347
 
7348
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7349
 
7350
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7351
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7352
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7353
 
7354
  * GCC Toolset
7355
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7356
 
7357
  * Makefile generation
7358
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7359
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7360
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7361
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7362
    package could not be used.
7363
 
7364
  * Unit Tests
7365
    The following environment variables are set:
7366
 
7367
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7368
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7369
 
7370
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7371
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7372
 
7373
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7374
 
7375
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7376
 
7377
 
7378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7379
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7381
Major changes:
7382
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7383
 
7384
    Special features of this toolset.
7385
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7386
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7387
       incorporated within the target image.
7388
 
7389
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7390
       --Set=Name=Value
7391
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7392
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7393
 
7394
       --Ref=name
7395
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7396
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7397
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7398
                will be taken from the build version number.
7399
 
7400
Minor changes:
7401
  * MOS Toolset
7402
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7403
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7404
    packaged.
7405
 
7406
  * Src directive
7407
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7408
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7409
    specifier.
7410
 
7411
  * WIN32 runtime support
7412
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7413
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7414
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7415
 
7416
Internal:
7417
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7418
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7419
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7420
 
7421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7422
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7424
Major changes:
7425
    * BuildAlias directive
7426
      Added options.
7427
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7428
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7429
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7430
                          targets.
7431
      Eg:
7432
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7433
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7434
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7435
 
7436
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7437
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7438
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7439
 
7440
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7441
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7442
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7443
 
7444
 
7445
Minor changes:
7446
  * Label utility
7447
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7448
    build.pl file
7449
 
7450
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7451
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7452
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7453
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7454
    --FilterIn option.
7455
 
7456
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7457
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7458
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7459
 
7460
  * Location of descpkg file
7461
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7462
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7463
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7464
 
7465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7466
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7467
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7468
Major changes:
7469
  * RunTest directive
7470
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7471
    Additional options
7472
      --CopyIn=file
7473
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7474
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7475
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7476
        the test area.
7477
 
7478
    Additional operations
7479
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7480
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7481
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7482
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7483
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7484
    Allows flags:
7485
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7486
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7487
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7488
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7489
 
7490
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7491
    existence is tested.
7492
 
7493
  * Packaging Directives
7494
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7495
    such as LMOS.
7496
 
7497
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7498
 
7499
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7500
 
7501
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7502
 
7503
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7504
 
7505
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7506
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7507
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7508
 
7509
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7510
 
7511
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7512
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7513
 
7514
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7515
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7516
 
7517
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7518
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7519
 
7520
Minor changes:
7521
  * Script directive
7522
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7523
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7524
 
7525
  * JATS environment
7526
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7527
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7528
    the JATS wrapper script.
7529
 
7530
  * Label utility
7531
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7532
    There are three modes of operation:
7533
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7534
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7535
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7536
 
7537
 
7538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7539
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7541
Major changes:
7542
 
7543
Minor changes:
7544
  * label utility
7545
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7546
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7547
 
7548
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7549
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7550
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7551
      --ProgLoader=name
7552
 
7553
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7554
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7555
    Options to do this are:
7556
        --TreeDir=name
7557
        --FilterOut=regexp
7558
        --FilterIn=regexp
7559
        --StripDir
7560
 
7561
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7562
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7563
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7564
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7565
 
7566
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7567
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7568
 
7569
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7570
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7571
 
7572
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7573
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7574
 
7575
 
7576
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7577
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7579
Major changes:
7580
    * Make commands
7581
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7582
 
7583
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7584
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7585
 
7586
    * Label utility
7587
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7588
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7589
 
7590
Minor changes:
7591
    * Toolsets
7592
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7593
      variables and overrides.
7594
 
7595
      The make_init target is always run.
7596
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7597
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7598
 
7599
    * Deployment
7600
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7601
      with deployment operations.
7602
 
7603
    * Release utility
7604
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7605
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7606
      restricted by options within the build.
7607
 
7608
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7609
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7610
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7611
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7612
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7613
 
7614
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7615
      directives.
7616
 
7617
    * MakeProject directive
7618
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7619
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7620
 
7621
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7622
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7623
      is preserved.
7624
 
7625
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7626
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7627
      statements.
7628
 
7629
    * Mugfile generation
7630
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7631
      be placed in the target package.
7632
 
7633
 
7634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7635
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7637
Major changes:
7638
    * BuildVersion directive
7639
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7640
      number as well as a patch number.
7641
 
7642
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7643
      number.
7644
 
7645
Minor changes:
7646
    * AddFlags directives
7647
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7648
      duplicate flags being added.
7649
 
7650
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7651
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7652
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7653
 
7654
    * Mug File Generation
7655
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7656
 
7657
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7658
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7659
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7660
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7661
     directory.
7662
 
7663
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7664
     reproducible.
7665
 
7666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7667
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7669
Major changes:
7670
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7671
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7672
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7673
      longer a list of directories.
7674
 
7675
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7676
      done within the toolset.
7677
 
7678
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7679
 
7680
    * JATS environment variables
7681
      Redefined variable
7682
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7683
                          Previously was a list that included the
7684
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7685
 
7686
      New variable
7687
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7688
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7689
 
7690
 
7691
Minor changes:
7692
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7693
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7694
      target platforms to be extracted.
7695
 
7696
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7697
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7698
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7699
 
7700
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7701
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7702
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7703
 
7704
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7705
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7706
 
7707
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7708
      Support ANT based XML files
7709
 
7710
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7711
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7712
      structure.
7713
 
7714
    * makefile.pl's
7715
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7716
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7717
 
7718
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7719
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7720
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7721
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7722
 
7723
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7724
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7725
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7726
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7727
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7728
      -- Auto.
7729
 
7730
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7731
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7732
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7733
 
7734
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7735
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7736
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7737
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7738
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7739
 
7740
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7741
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7742
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7743
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7744
      installed on the machine.
7745
 
7746
    * WINCE Targets
7747
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7748
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7749
 
7750

7753
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7755
Major changes:
7756
    * WIN32 platforms
7757
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7758
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7759
      and installed packages.
7760
 
7761
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7762
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7763
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7764
 
7765
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7766
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7767
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7768
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7769
      searched when looking for libraries.
7770
 
7771
Minor changes:
7772
    * GenerateFiles directive
7773
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7774
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7775
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7776
                          and drive letter
7777
 
7778
    * Src directive
7779
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7780
      directory of a package.
7781
 
7782
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7783
 
7784
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7785
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7786
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7787
 
7788
    * jats_rewrite utility
7789
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7790
 
7791
 
7792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7793
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7795
Major changes:
7796
    * SunWorks production builds
7797
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7798
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7799
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7800
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7801
      compiler documentation.
7802
 
7803
    * MOS Toolset
7804
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7805
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7806
 
7807
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7808
 
7809
Minor changes:
7810
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7811
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7812
      This should not affect current users.
7813
 
7814
    * Mugfile generation
7815
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7816
      specified.
7817
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7818
 
7819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7820
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7822
Major changes:
7823
    MOS Toolset
7824
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7825
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7826
 
7827
Minor changes:
7828
    * Jats wrapper script
7829
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7830
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7831
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7832
 
7833
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7834
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7835
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7836
      may be suspect.
7837
 
7838
    * GenerateFiles directive
7839
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7840
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7841
 
7842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7843
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7845
Major changes:
7846
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7847
      build.xml files.
7848
 
7849
Minor changes:
7850
    * WIN32 toolset.
7851
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7852
 
7853
    * MakeAnt
7854
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7855
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7856
 
7857
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7858
 
7859
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7860
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7861
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7862
 
7863
    * MakeAnt directive
7864
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7865
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7866
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7867
 
7868
      Recommended usage:
7869
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7870
 
7871
Internal Changes
7872
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7873

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7878
Major changes:
7879
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7880
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7881
      files packaged into the release.
7882
 
7883
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7884

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7887
 
7888
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7889
      The recommended platform is:
7890
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7891
 
7892
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7893
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7894
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7895
      components.
7896
 
7897
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

7901
 
7902
Minor changes:
7903
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7904
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7905
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7906
      by the package to be accessed.
7907
 
7908
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7909
      application or visual studio.
7910
 
7911
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7912
      and the JATS Core path.
7913
 
7914
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7915
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7916
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7917
 
7918
    * MOS Toolset
7919
      Add support for the TPT device
7920
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7921
 
7922
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7923
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7924
 
7925
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7926
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7927
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7928
 
7929
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7930
 
7931
Internal Changes
7932
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7933
      in jats.pl
7934
 
7935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7936
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7938
Major changes:
7939
    * JATS wrapper script
7940
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7941
 
7942
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7943
 
7944
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7945
 
7946
Minor changes:
7947
    * Deployment support
7948
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7949
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7950
 
7951
    * 'build'
7952
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7953
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7954
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7955
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7956
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7957
 
7958
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7959
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7960
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7961
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7962
                                      the link phase.
7963
 
7964
    * BuildPkgArchive
7965
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7966
      Previously these were ignored.
7967
      Minor code cleanup
7968
 
7969
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7970
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7971
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7972
 
7973
    * SOLARIS targets
7974
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7975
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7976
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7977
 
7978
    * MugFile generation
7979
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7980
      included in the final package.
7981
 
7982
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7983
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7984
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
7985
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
7986
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
7987
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
7988
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
7989
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
7990
 
7991
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
7992
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
7993
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
7994
            --Option=(some_text)
7995
            --Option=[some_text]
7996
            --Option={some_text}
7997
 
7998
Internal Changes
7999
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8000
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8001
      code.
8002
 
8003
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8004
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8006
Major changes:
8007
    * JATS wrapper script
8008
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8009
 
8010
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8011
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8012
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8013
      other components.
8014
 
8015
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8016
 
8017
    * JATS
8018
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8019
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8020
 
8021
    * Build operations
8022
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8023
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8024
      packages.
8025
 
8026
    * Make operations
8027
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8028
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8029
 
8030
Minor changes:
8031
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8032
      deployment builds.
8033
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8034
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8035
 
8036
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8037
 
8038
    * build.pl
8039
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8040
        processed. Allows
8041
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8042
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8043
        production.
8044
 
8045
    * MOS toolset
8046
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8047
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8048
 
8049
    * create_dpkg utility
8050
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8051
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8052
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8053
      progress of the build.
8054
 
8055
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8056
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8057
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8058
      system.
8059

8062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8063
Major changes:
8064
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8065
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8066
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8067
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8068
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8069
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8070
 
8071
    * WCEX86A500 target
8072
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8073
 
8074
    * MOS Toolsets
8075
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8076
      the compiler.
8077
 
8078
    * RunTest directive
8079
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8080
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8081
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8082
 
8083
Minor changes:
8084
    * JATS BUILD
8085
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8086
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8087
      highlight bad settings.
8088
 
8089
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8090
      access to extensions.
8091

        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8108
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8109
 
8110
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8111
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8112
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8113
      Package directives.
8114
 
8115
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8116
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8117
      system.
8118

Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8122
Major changes:
8123
    * MOS Toolset
8124
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8125
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8126
 
8127
    * WIN32 Toolset
8128
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8129
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8130
      list.
8131
 
8132
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8133
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8134
 
8135
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8136
 
8137
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8138
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8139
 
8140
 
8141
Minor changes:
8142
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8143
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8144
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8145
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8146
      corrected.
8147
 
8148
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8149
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8150
 
8151
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8152
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8153
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8154

8156
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8158
Major changes:
8159
    * WIN32 Toolset
8160
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8161
      use with multithreaded modes.
8162
 
8163
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8164
      --OnlyProd.
8165
 
8166
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8167
      within the makefile.pl.
8168
 
8169
Minor changes:
8170
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8171
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8172
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8173
      platforms.
8174
 
8175
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8176
 
8177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8178
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8180
Major changes:
8181
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8182
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8183
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8184
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8185
 
8186
    * Preliminary Support
8187
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8188
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8189
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8190
 
8191
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8192
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8193
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8194
 
8195
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8196
      building. The default build will build both.
8197
 
8198
Minor changes:
8199
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8200
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8201
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8202
 
8203
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8204
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8205
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8206
 
8207
 
8208

8209
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8210
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8211
Major changes:
8212
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8213
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8214
      or all.
8215
 
8216
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8217
      the library or program.
8218
 
8219
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8220
 
8221
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8222
      library or any debug files.
8223
 
8224
    * GenerateFiles
8225
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8226
 
8227
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8228
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8229
 
8230
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8231
              The filename of the prereq file
8232
 
8233
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8234
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8235
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8236
 
8237
 
8238
Minor changes:
8239
    * create_dpkg utility
8240
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8241
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8242
      the package has been altered.
8243
 
8244

8247
Major changes:
8248
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8249
      This is a WINCE target
8250
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8251
 
8252
    * New toolset
8253
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8254
 
8255
    * Modified toolset
8256
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8257
 
8258
    * Modified toolset
8259
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8260
 
8261
Minor changes:
8262
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8263
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8264
 
8265
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8266
 
8267
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8268
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8269
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8270
 
8271
      The change allows the construct
8272
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8273
      to be replaced by the simpler
8274
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8275
 
8276
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8277
      specified name.    
8278

8283
Major changes:
8284
    * Dependancy generator

8297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8298
Major changes:
8299
    * The "package.pl" file.
8300
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8301
      package name being taken from the build name
8302
 
8303
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8304
      package Build Name.
8305
 
8306
Minor changes:
8307
    * create_dpkg utility
8308
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8309
 
8310

8313
Major changes:
8314
 
8315
Minor changes:
8316
    * Dependancy generator
8317
      Correct two common situations
8318
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8319
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8320
           ansi, but is often done.
8321
 
8322
    * GCC toolset
8323
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8324
      being created in the correct place.
8325
 
8326
    * jats "label"
8327
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8328
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8329
 
8330
 
8331
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8332
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8334
Major changes:
8335
 
8336
Minor changes:
8337
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8338
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8339
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8340
 
8341
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8342
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8343
 
8344
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8345
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8346
      package was not being transferred.
8347
 
8348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8349
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8351
Major changes:
8352
    * Support for solaris_i386
8353
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8354
      binaries for this target.
8355
 
8356
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8357
      with the GCC compiler.
8358
 
8359
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8360
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8361
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8362
 
8363
Minor changes:
8364
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8365
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8366
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8367
 
8368
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8369
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8370
 
8371
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8372
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8374
Major changes:
8375
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8376
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8377
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8378
 
8379
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8380
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8381
 
8382
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8383
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8384
      with either " or ' characters.
8385
 
8386
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8387
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8388
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8389
 
8390
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8391
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8392
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8393
 
8394
    * Jats wrapper
8395
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8396
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8397
      further commands.
8398
 
8399
Minor changes:
8400
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8401
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8402
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8403
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8404
 
8405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8406
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8408
Major changes:
8409
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8410
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8411
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8412
 
8413
      These options operation affect all components within the
8414
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8415
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8416
 
8417
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8418
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8419
 
8420
Minor changes:
8421

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8423
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8425
Major changes:
8426
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8427
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8428
 
8429
Minor changes:
8430
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8431
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8432
 
8433
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8434
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8435
 
8436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8437
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8439
Major changes:
8440
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8441
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8442
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8443
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8444
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8445
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8446
      installed.
8447
 
8448
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8449
      libraries that depend on each other.
8450
 
8451
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8452
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8453
 
8454
Minor changes:
8455
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8456
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8457
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8458
 
8459
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8460
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8461
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8462
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8463
 
8464
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8465
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8466
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8467
Major changes:
8468
 
8469
Minor changes:
8470
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8471
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8472
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8473
      file.
8474
 
8475
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8476
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8477
 
8478
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8479
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8480
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8481
 
8482
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8483
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8484
 
8485
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8486
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8487
 
8488
    * WinCE toolsets
8489
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8490
      compiler specific libraries.
8491
 
8492
    * SOLARIS toolset
8493
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8494
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8495
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8496
 
8497
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8498
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8499
      cleaned up.
8500
 
8501
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8502
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8503
 
8504
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8505
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8506
      with either " or ' characters.
8507
 
8508

8511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8512
Major changes:
8513
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8514
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8515
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8516
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8517
 
8518
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8519
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8520
 
8521
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8522
      user.
8523
 
8524
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8525
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8526
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8527
 
8528
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8529
      for the   -Gf option.
8530
 
8531
Minor changes:
8532
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8533
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8534
 
8535
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8536
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8537
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8538
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8539

8541
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8543
Major changes:
8544
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8545
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8546
 
8547
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8548
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8549
      data addresses for the board.
8550
 
8551
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8552
 
8553
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8554
 
8555
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8556
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8557
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8558
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8559
         PackageFile
8560
 
8561
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8562
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8563
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8564
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8565
 
8566
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8567
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8568
      to be installed and packaged.
8569
 
8570
Minor changes:
8571
 
8572
    * cache_dpkg utility
8573
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8574
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8575
 
8576
    * label utility
8577
      New option -auto to create and label
8578
 
8579
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8580
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8581
 
8582
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8583
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8584
      directory. ie:
8585
 
8586
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8587
 
8588
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8589
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8590
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8591
 
8592
 
8593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8594
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8596
Major changes:
8597
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8598
 
8599
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8600
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8601
 
8602
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8603
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8604
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8605
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8606
 
8607
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8608
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8609
      compilation.
8610
 
8611
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8612
 
8613
Minor changes:
8614
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8615
      one is being produced.
8616
 
8617
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8618
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8619
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8620
 
8621
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8622
 
8623
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8624
 
8625
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8626
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8627
 
8628
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8629
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8630
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8631
Major changes:
8632
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8633
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8634
 
8635
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8636
 
8637
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8638
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8639
      same directory
8640
 
8641
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8642
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8643
      documenattion.
8644
 
8645
Minor changes:
8646
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8647
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8648
 
8649
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8650
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8651
 
8652
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8653
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8654
 
8655
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8656
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8657
 
8658
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8659
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8660
      be exempt from this test.
8661
 
8662
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8663
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8664
 
8665
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8666
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8667
 
8668
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8669
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8670
      does.
8671
 
8672
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8673
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8674
 
8675
 
8676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8677
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8679
Major changes:
8680
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8681
 
8682
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8683
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8684
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8685
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8686
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8687
 
8688
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8689
      operations.
8690
 
8691
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8692
 
8693
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8694
 
8695
Minor changes
8696
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8697
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8698
 
8699
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8700
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8701
      directory is not added to the library path.
8702
 
8703
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8704
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8705
 
8706
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8707
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8708
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8709
 
8710
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8711
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8712
      specific flags.
8713
 
8714
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8715
 
8716
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8717
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8718
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8719
 
8720
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8721
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8722
      JATS.
8723
 
8724
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8725
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8726
 
8727
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8728
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8729
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8730
 
8731
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8732
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8733
 
8734
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8735
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8736
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8737
 
8738
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8739
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8740
 
8741
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8742
 
8743
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8744
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8745
 
8746
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8747
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8748
      objects.
8749
 
8750
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8751
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8752
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8753
      build defendants.
