770
 
771
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
772
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');

796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
797
 
798
Minor changes:
799
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
800
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
801
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
802
 
803
    * Build Files
804
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
805
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
806
 
807
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
808
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
809
 
810
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
811
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
812
 
813
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
814
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
815
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
816
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
817
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
818
 
819
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
820
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
821
     different architectures.
822
 
823
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
824
     are directed to one or more machines.
825
 
826
     Intended uses:
827
        Windows: Creating installers. 
828
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
829
 
830
       All: Specialized packaging.
831
 
832
    * Makefiles
833
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
834
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
835
      Eg:
836
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
837
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
838
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
839
      It could also have been written as:
840
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
841
      but NOT as:
842
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
843
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
844
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
845
 
846
    * Utility: sandbox
847
      Subcommand info 
848
        - Added option to test fingerprints
849
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

854
 
855
Minor changes:
856
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
857
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
858
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
859
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
860
 
861
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
862
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
863
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
864
 
865
    * GenerateFiles directive
866
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
867
 
868
    * Utility: sandbox
869
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
870
 
871
      Sped up the location of build files. The results are cached and 
872
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
873

885
 
886
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
887
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
888
 
889
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
890
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
891
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
892
      machine may build the toolset.
893
 
894
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
895
      platform.

916
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
917
 
918
    * Utility: escrow
919
      Added -skim option
920
 
921
    * Utility: sandbox
922
      Many improvements:
923
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
924
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
925
 
926
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
927
 
928
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
929
        if an error is detected.
930
 
931
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
932
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
933
 
934
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
935
        skipped during the build.
936
 
937
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

942
 
943
Minor changes:
944
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
945
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
946
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
947
 
948
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
949
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

1062
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1063
 
1064
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1065
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1066
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1067

    * Jats Build
1127
      [JATS-266] jats install and package - does not preserve symbolic links
5885 dpurdie 1128
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 1129
      the library: link and soname.
1130
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not 
1131
      preserved resulting in a much larger package that really required.

1133
      Shared library symlinks are marked and are now copied so as to

1652
 
1653
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward

1860
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2191
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2192
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2193
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2194
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2195
 
2196
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2197
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Major changes:
2203
 
2204
Minor changes:
2205
    * Utility: update_release
2206
      Added options:
2207
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2208
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2209
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2210
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2211
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2212
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2213
 
2214
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2215
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2216
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2217
 
2218
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2219
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
2220

3967 dpurdie 2222
Version:  3.2.0000.cr                               Released: 8-Aug-2013
2223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2224
Major changes:
2225
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2226
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2227
      intended to build deployed software.
2228
 
2229
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2230
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2231
 
2232
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2233
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2234
 
2235
Minor changes:
2236
    * Jats wrapper script
2237
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2238
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2239
      Subversion instance of the command.
2240
 
2241
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2242
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2243
 
2244
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2245
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2246
 
2247
    * Utility: jats upddep
2248
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2249
      file under windows.
2250
 
2251
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2252
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2253
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2254
 
2255
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2256
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2257
 
2258
    * GCC Toolchain
2259
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2275
Major changes:
2276
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2277
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2278
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2279
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2280
 
2281
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2282
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2290
      family
3559 dpurdie 2291
 
2292
Minor changes:
2293
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2294
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2295
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2296
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2297
      line.
2298
 
2299
    * Jats Configuration
2300
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2301
 
2302
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2303
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2304
      and Linux.
2305
 
2306
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2307
      correctly rippled.

2312
Major changes:
2313
 
2314
Minor changes:
2315
    * Jats Core
2316
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2317
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2318
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2319
 
2320
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2321
      Used only by the build daemons.
2322
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2323
 
2324
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2325
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2326
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
2327

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2331
Major changes:
2332
 
2333
Minor changes:
2334
    * svnrelease utility
2335
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2336
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2337
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2338
 
2339
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2340
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2341
      the named tag.
2342
 
2343
    * svnrelease utility
2344
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2345
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
2355
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
2356
        covered by the makefile.
2357
 
2358
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2359
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2360
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2361
 
2362
    * ALL Toolsets
2363
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2364
 
2365
    * Utility vcsdiff
2366
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2367
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2368
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2376
    * Subversion Extraction
2377
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2378
      directory of the tag.
2379
 
2380
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2381
      repository.
2382
 
2383
    * Subversion Support
2384
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2385
      showing the user what to do.
2386
 
2387
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2388
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2389
      we have build support for this target.
2390
 
2391
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2392
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2393
 
2394
Internal:
2395
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2396
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2397
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2398
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
2413
 
2414
Minor changes:
2415
    * Makefile generation
2416
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2417
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2418
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2419
      of warnings.
2420
 
2421
    * Makefile Generation
2422
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2431
Major changes:
2432
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2433
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2434
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2435
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2436
 
2437
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2438
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2439
      windows path scheme.
2440
 
2441
Minor changes:
2442
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2443
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2444
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2445
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2446
 
2447
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2448
        jats make clobber
2449
      This operates as before.
2450
 
2451
    * Utility: escrow
2452
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2453
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2454
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2455
 
2456
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2457
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2458
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2459
 
2460
    * Utility: svn : url
2461
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2462
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2463
 
2464
    * Utility: svn : import
2465
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2466
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2467
 
2468
    * Subversion Support
2469
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2470
      showing the user what to do.
2471
 
2472
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2473
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2474
      repositories.

2479
 
2480
Minor changes:
2481
    * Jats build
2482
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2483
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2484
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2485
 
2486
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2487
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2488

2497
      Added two subcommands
2498
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2499
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2500
                 Can also display available branches.
2501
 
2054 dpurdie 2502
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
2503

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2508
 
2509
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2510
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2511
      Modified two options:
2512
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2513
                        The named branch must not exist
2514
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2515
                        The named branch must exist
2516
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2525
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2526
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2527
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

Major changes:
2552
    * Jats Version Number
2553
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2554
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2555
      significantly.

2593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2594
Major changes:
2595
    * Subversion Repository location
2596
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2597
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2598
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2599

2602
Minor changes:
2603
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2604
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2605
 
2606
    * Utility: svnrelease
2607
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2608
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2609
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2610
 
2611
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2612
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2613
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2614
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2615
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2616
 
2617
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2618
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.

2622
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2623
 
2624
      Subcommand: populate
2625
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2626
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2627
      sandbox.
2628
 
2629
    * Subversion Support
2630
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2631
      repository is not supported.
2632
 
2633
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2634
      a progress indication.
2635
 
2636
    * Jats Online Documentation
2637
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2638
      online documentation.
2639
 
2640
    * Generated makefiles
2641
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2718
Major changes:
2719
 
2720
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2721
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2722
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2723
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2724
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2725
 
2726

2740
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2741
 
2742
    * Utility ccrelease
2743
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2744
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2745
 
2746
    * Utility: svn
2747

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2776
Major changes:
2777
 
2778
Minor changes:
2779
    * Command: jats clobber
2780
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2781
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2782
 
2783
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2784
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2785
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2786
 
2787
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2788
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2789
 
377 dpurdie 2790
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2791
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2792
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2793
 
2794
    * jats svnlabel
2795
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2796
 
2797
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2798
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2799
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2800
 
2801
    * Built Daemon support
2802
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2803
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2804

373 dpurdie 2806
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2808
Major changes:
2809
    * GCC Toolset
2810
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2811
      New methodology is:
2812
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2813
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2814
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2815
        as the main binary.
2816
 
2817
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2818
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2819
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2820
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2821
      both worlds.
2822
 
2823
Minor changes:
2824
    * HTML Documentation
2825

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2835
Major changes:
2836
    * Jats Sandbox
2837
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2838
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2839
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2840
 
2841
    * RIORDS Platform
2842

2863
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
2864

2865
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2866
 
2867
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2868
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2869
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within

      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2968
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2969
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2970
 
2971
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2972
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2973
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2974
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2975

2990
      character.
2991
 
2992
    * Toolset: SunWorks
2993
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
2994
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
2995
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
2996
      masking an error.
2997
 
2998
    * Toolset: Delphi7
2999

      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3012
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.

    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3015
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3016
      packages.
3017
 
3018
    * make command: show
3019
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3020
      'jats make show' command.
3021
 
3022
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3023
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3024
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3025
 
3026

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3364
Major changes:
3365
 
3366
Minor changes:
3367
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3368
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3369
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3370
      resulting in multiple builds.
3371
 
3372
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3373
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3374
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3375
 
3376
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3377
 
3378
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3379
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3380
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

331 dpurdie 3383
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
3384
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3385
Major changes:
3386
 
3387
Minor changes:
3388
    * Jats label command
3389
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3390
      Not recommended for general use.
3391
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3392
      directories within the current view.
3393
 
3394
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3395
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3396
      elsewhere.
3397
 
3398
    * Jats save_build
3399
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3400
      the determination of a branch.
3401
 
3402
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3403
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3404
 
3405
    * Jats build
3406
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3407
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3408
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3409
 
3410
    * Borland6 toolset
3411
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3412
      to match the documented install location of:
3413
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3414
 
3415
    * Jats build
3416
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3417
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3418
      This is a very quick operation.
3419
 
3420
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3421
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3422
 
3423
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3424
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3425
      files are only recreated if need be.
3426
 
3427
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3428
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3429
      make the package.
3430
 
3431
    * Jats sandbox
3432
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3433
 
3434
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3435
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3436
 
3437
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3438
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3439
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3440
      is performed.
3441
 
3442
Internal:
3443
    * build.pl
3444
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

3476
Major changes:
3477
 
3478
Minor changes:
3479
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3480
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3481
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3482
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3483
 
3484
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3485
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3486
 
3487
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3488
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3489
      platform builds.
3490
 
3491
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3492
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3493
      directory tree.
3494
 
3495
    * New command: jats man
3496
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3497
 
3498
Internal changes:
3499
    * jats upddep
3500
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3501
 
3502
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3503
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
3504
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 3507
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3509
Major changes:
3510
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3511
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3512
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3513
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3514
 
3515
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3516
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3517
 
3518
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3519
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3520
 
3521
      Examples:
3522
            jats upddep -show
3523
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3524
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3525
 
3526
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3527
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3528
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3529
 
3530
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3531
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3532
 
3533
Minor changes:
3534
 
3535
Internal changes:
3536
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3537
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3542
Major changes:
3543
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3544
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3545
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3546
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3547
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3548
      stream.
3549
 
3550
      Example:
3551
 
3552
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3553
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3554
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3555
                     );
3556
Minor changes:
3557
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3558
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3559
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3560
      directive.
3561
 
3562
    * GCC Toolkit
3563
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3564
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3565
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3566
      the point of termination.
3567
 
3568
    * Jats save_build utility
3569
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3570
      under windows.
3571
 
3572
    * Jats sandbox
3573
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3574
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3575
      in different sandboxes.
3576
 
3577
    * Jats release
3578
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3579

3585
Minor changes:
3586
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3587
      Added -locatedir=name
3588
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3589
      directory.
3590
 
3591
    * jats label utility
3592
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3593
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3594
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3595
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3596
 
3597
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3598

Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3603
 
3604
Minor changes:
3605
    * WinCe Toolsets
3606
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3607
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3608
        noExceptions            - Disable
3609
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3610
      Example:
3611
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3612
 
3613
    * Solaris targets
3614
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3615
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3616
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3617
      machine type.
3618

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3622
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3623
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3624
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3625
      project files.
3626
 
3627
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3628
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3629
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3630
 
3631
Minor changes:
3632
    * Added more internal documentation
3633
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3634
 
3635
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3636
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3637
 
3638
    * Jats save_build utility
3639
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3640
      under windows.
3641
 
3642
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3643
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3644
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3645
      libraries.
3646
 
3647
    * Solaris builds
3648
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3649
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3650
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3651
      of the build failure.
3652
 
3653
 
3654
Internal changes:
3655
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3656
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3657
 
3658
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3659
      PkgArchive topics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3664
Major changes:
3665
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3666
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3667
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3668
      existing 32-bit builds.
3669
 
3670
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3671
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11

3675
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3676
 
3677
    * Package searching
3678
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3679
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3680
 
3681
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3682
 
3683
    * jats help
3684
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3685
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3686
 
3687
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3688
      with one of:
3689
        jats -h
3690
        jats help jats
3691
 
3692
Internal:
3693
    * cmdfile utility
3694
      Added macros:
3695
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3696
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3697
 
3698
      Corrected
3699
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

3715
Internal changes
3716
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3717
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3718
      Useful side effects include:
3719
 
3720
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3721
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3722
 
3723
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3724
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3725
 
3726
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3727
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3728
        BuildPkgArchive
3729
 
313 dpurdie 3730
    * Perl Modules
3731
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3732
      release. This will:
3733
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3734
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3735
          reported by ERG.
3736
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * Jats label utility
3750
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3751
 
3752
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3753
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3754
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3755
 
3756
    * Jats core
3757
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3758
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3759
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3768
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3769
      This is now fixed.
3770
 
309 dpurdie 3771
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3772
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3773
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3774
 
3775
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3776
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

3783
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3784
    * Generating makefiles
3785
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3786
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3787
      an error.
3788
 
3789
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3790
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3791
 
3792
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3793
      Highly specialized directive.

3799
Major changes:
3800
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3801
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3802
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3803
 
3804
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3805
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3806
 
3807
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3808
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3809
      Support includes
3810
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3811
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3812
 
3813
Minor changes:
3814
    * Build file processing
3815
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3816
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3817
 
3818
    * MOS builds
3819
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3820
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3821
 
3822
    * MOS builds
3823
      New 'known' product: PICP
3824
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3825
 
3826
    * GenerateFiles directive
3827
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3828
        under windows.
3829
 
3830
        .
3831
 
3832
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3833
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3834
 
3835
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3836
      to the output stream.
3837
 
3838
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3839
 
3840
    * Windows Shell
3841
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3842
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3843
 
3844
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3845
 
3846
    * H8S toolset
3847
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3848
 
3849
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3850
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3851
 
3852
Internal changes
3853
    * WinCe builds
3854
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3855
      content of the file.
3856
 
3857
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3858
 
3859
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3860
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Major changes:
3873
 
3874
Minor changes:
3875
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3876
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3877
      Changes are transparent to users.
3878
 
3879
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3880
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3881
      this occurs.
3882
 
3883
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3884
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3885
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3886
      automated build framework.
3887
 
3888
    * jats sandbox command
3889
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3890
      'create' command.
3891
 
3892
    * jats command aliases. Added
3893
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3899
Major changes:
3900
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3901
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3902
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3903
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3904
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3905
      will work as expected
3906
 
3907
Minor changes:
3908
    * VS2008 Toolset
3909
      Picking up incorrect config details
3910
      May result in a warning message.
3911
 
3912
    * gen_cots utility
3913
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3914
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3915
 
3916
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3917
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3965
Major changes:
3966
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3967
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3968
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3969
 
3970
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3971
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3972
 
3973
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3974
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3975
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3976
           names cannot be changed.
3977
 
3978
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3979
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3980
 
3981
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3982
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
3983
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
3984
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
3985
 
3986
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
3987
      file.
3988
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
3989
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
3990
      MyPackage.dpk.
3991
 
3992
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
3993
      file.
3994
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
3995
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
3996
      MyDll.dpr.
3997
 
3998
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
3999
      file.
4000
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4001
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4002
      MyProg.dpr.
4003
 
4004
Minor changes:
4005
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4006
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4007
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4008
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4009
 
4010
    * BuildVersion directive
4011
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4012
      in a Delphi Unit.
4013
 
4014
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4015
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4016
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4017
      'know' the location of the files.
4018
 
4019
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4020
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4021
 
4022
Internal Changes:
4023
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4024
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4025
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4026
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4027
 
4028
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4029
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4030
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

287 dpurdie 4033
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4035
Major changes:
4036
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4037
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4038
      information for purely C++ builds.
4039
 
289 dpurdie 4040
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4041
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4042
 
289 dpurdie 4043
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4044
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4045
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4046
 
4047
Minor changes:
4048
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4049
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4050
 
4051
    * updatenodespec utility
4052
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4053
      Manager database.

      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
4076
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4077
 
4078
Minor changes:
4079
    * MergeLibrary directive
4080
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4081
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4082

Minor changes:
4090
    * New command: jats make show
4091
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4092
      used in the build.
4093
 
4094
    * Escrow command
4095
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4096
 
4097
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4098
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4099
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4100
 
4101
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4102
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4103

277 dpurdie 4106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4107
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4108
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4109
 
279 dpurdie 4110
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4111
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4112
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4113
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4114
 
4115
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4116
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4117
 
4118
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4119
 
4120
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4121
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4122
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4123
 
4124
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4125
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4126
        processed.
4127
 
4128
      Removed the '-delete' option
4129
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4130

4137
 
4138
    * MCR Toolset
4139
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error

4141
 
4142
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4143
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
4339
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4340
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4341

4364
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4365
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4366
 
4367
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

Internal Changes:
4532
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4533
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4534
      Previously was being done at two places
4535
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4536
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4537
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4538
 
4539
    * JATS make: Command line
4540
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4541
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
4542
 
4543
      It didn't work on all platforms.
4544
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
4545
 
4546
    * JATS command line
4547
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
4548
      to allow:
4549
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4550
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4551
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4552
 
4553
    * JATS makefile generation
4554
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
4555
      Improved readability of the generation process
4556
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
4557
      Removed dead code
4558
      Improved the creation of Progs
4559
 
4560
    * JATS error reporting
4561
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
4562
      problems.
4563
 
4564
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
4565
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
4566
 
4567
    * Assorted Perl files
4568
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
4569
 
4570
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
4571
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
4572
      makefiles
4573
 
4574
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
4575
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4576
 
4577
    * FileUtils package.
4578
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4579
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
4580
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
4594
 
4595
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4596
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4597
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4598
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4599
 
4600
Minor changes:
4601
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4602
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4603
 
4604
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4605
      some windows tools.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4610
Major changes:
4611
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4612
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4613
 
4614
      New platforms:
4615
        CSHARP2005
4616
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4617
         Support extends to allow:
4618
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4619
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4620
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4621
 
4622
        VS2005
4623
         Support extends to allow:
4624
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4625
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4626
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4627
 
4628
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4629
      through a version selector:
4630
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4631
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4632
 
4633
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4634
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4635
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4636
 
4637
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4638
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4639
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4640
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4641
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4642
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4643
          under VS2005.
4644
 
4645
Minor changes:
4646
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4647
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4648
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4649
 
4650
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4651
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4652
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4653
 
4654
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4655
 
4656
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4657
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4658
 
4659
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4660
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4661
      a minimal value of perl.
4662
 
4663
      Removed excessive require statements.
4664
 
4665
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4666
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4667
      Include JATS specific files for
4668
        1) Windows
4669
        2) Linux
4670
 
4671
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4672
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4673
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4674
      machines.
4675
 
4676
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4677
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4678
 
4679
    * JATS Environment
4680
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4681
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4682
 
4683
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4684
      wrapper scripts.
4685
 
4686
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4687
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4688
      Spell check help and code.

4716
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4717
      was added.
4718
 
4719
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4720
      reviewing a new package.
4721
 
4722
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4723
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are

4740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4741
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4742
  * New toolset and platform
4743
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4744
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4745
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4746
    this platform.
4747
 
4748
Minor changes:
4749
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4750
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4751
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4752
    work.
4753
 
4754
  * Jats utility: release
4755
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4756
    published to dpkg_archive.
4757
 
249 dpurdie 4758
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4759
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4760
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4761
    supported for ANT builds.
4762
 
4763
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4764
        releasemanager.releasename
4765
        releasemanager.projectname
4766
 
4767
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4768
    tagged data item of the form
4769
 
4770
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4771
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4772
 
4773
  * Mug File Generation
4774
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4775
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4776
 
4777
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4778
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4779
    required.
4780
 
4781
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4782
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4783
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4784
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4785
    the files in order to use them.
4786
 
4787
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4788
    locate the file.
4789
 
4790
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4791
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4792
 
4793
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4794
        * CSharp
4795
        * Properties
4796
        * WinRC
4797
 
4798
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4799
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4800
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4801
    Value is correctly assigned.
4802

4805
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4806
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4807
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4808
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4809
 
4810
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4811
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4812
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4813
 
4814
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4815
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4816
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4817
 
4818
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4819
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4820
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4821
 
4822
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4823
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4824
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4825
    correct.
4826
 
4827
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4828
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4829
 
4830
Minor changes:
4831
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4832
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4833
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4834
 
4835
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4836
    This will simplify new user setup.
4837
 
4838
  * All Unix Toolsets
4839
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4840
    on unix systems
4841
 
4842
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4843
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4844
    on some Solaris Machines.
4845
 
4846
  * JATS -version=<version>
4847
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4848
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4849

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
4891
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4892
 
4893
  * JATS builds
4894
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4895
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4896
    mode.
4897
 
4898
  * JATS makefiles
4899
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4900
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4901
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4902
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4903
                            SetList directive.
4904
 
4905
    ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );

5009
 
5010
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5011
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5012

5049
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5050
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5051
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5052
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5053
 
5054
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5055
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5056
 
5057
    * Jats wrapper
5058
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5059
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5064
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5065
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5066
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5067
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5068
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5069
 
5070
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5071
 
5072
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5073
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5074
 
5075
    * Running Jats
5076
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5077
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5078
      This may affect some windows developers.
5079
 
5080
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5081
      Future versions will generate an error.
5082
 
5083
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5084
 
5085
Minor changes:
5086
    * Perl Version Check
5087
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5088
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5089
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5090
 
5091
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5092
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5093
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5094
      build.
5095
 
5096
    * Jats Internals
5097
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5098
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5099
 
5100
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5101
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5102
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5103
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5104
      process.
5105
 
5106
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5107
      Only works under Windows.
5108
 
5109
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5110
 
5111
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5112
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5113
 
5114
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5115
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5116
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5117
 
5118
    * Jats eprog
5119
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5120
      directory.
5121
 
5122
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5123
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5124
      build metrics.
5125
 
5126

5129
Major changes:
5130
 
5131
Minor changes:
5132
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5133
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5134
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5135
      automated build system. New options are:
5136
        -pname=Package_Name
5137
        -pversion=Package_Version
5138
 
5139
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5140
      transferring the package. New options are:
5141
        -test
5142
 
5143
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5144
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5145
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5146
 
5147
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5148
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5149
 
5150
    * Solaris Toolset
5151
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5152
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5153
      programs are still supported.
5154
 
5155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5156
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
5157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5158
Major changes:
5159
 
5160
Minor changes:
5161
    * WINCE toolsets
5162
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5163
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5164
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5165
      when header files cannot be found.
5166
 
5167
    * GenerateFiles directive
5168
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5169
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5170
      that are difficult to solve.
5171
 
5172
    * MakePerlModule directive
5173
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5174
      to the the module builder.
5175
 
5176
    * Jats Tool: label
5177
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5178
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5179
      -dirs=xxx options.
5180
 
5181
    * Jats Tool: release
5182
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5183
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5184
 
5185
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5186
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5187
 
5188
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5189
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5190
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5191
 
5192
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
5199
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5200
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome

5203
 
5204
Minor changes:
5205
    * label utility
5206
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5207
 
5208
    * make package and install operations
5209
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5210
      transfer.
5211
 
5212
    * make clean up
5213
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5214
 
5215
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5216
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5217
      minor file transformations such as:
5218
        Copy, with optional rename
5219
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5220
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5221
 
5222
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5223
 
5224
    * jats release utility
5225
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5226
      in place.
5227
 
5228
    * escrow utility
5229
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5230

5236
 
5237
Minor changes:
5238
    * Makefile generation
5239
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5240
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5241
      generate phase early.
5242
 
5243

5247
 
5248
Minor changes:
5249
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5250
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5251
 
5252
    * Makefile generation
5253
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5254
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5255
 
5256
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5257
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5258
 
5259
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5260
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5261
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5262
 
5263
    * jats_rewrite utility
5264
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5265
 
5266
    * jats escrow utility
5267
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5268
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5269
 
5270
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5271
      inconsistent packages.
5272
 
5273
    * jats make help
5274
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5275
      available within the current build.
5276
 
5277
    * jats makefiles
5278
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5279
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5280
 
5281
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5282
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5283
 
5284
    * gcc toolset
5285
      SharedLibries.
5286
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5287
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5288
 
5289
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5290
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5291
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5292
 
5293
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5294
        New options:
5295
            --MultiScan
5296
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5297
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5298
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304
Major changes:
5305
 
5306
Minor changes:
5307
    PackageLib directive
5308
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5309
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5310
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5311
 
5312
    MakefileGenerate directive
5313
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5314
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5315
 
5316
    Multiple Parent detection
5317
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5318
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5319
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5320
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5321
 
5322
    Solaris Toolset
5323
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5324
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5325
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5326
    link.
5327
 
5328
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5329
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5330
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5331
 
5332
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5333
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5334
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5335
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
5339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5340
Major changes:
5341
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5342
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5343
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5344
 
5345
    Summary of changes:
5346
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5347
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5348
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5349
          flexibility.
5350
 
5351
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5352
 
5353
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5354
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5355
          interface directory and associated build information.
5356
 
5357
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5358
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5359
          than one second.
5360
 
5361
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5362
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5363
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5364
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5365
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5366
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5367
 
5368
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5369
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5370
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5371
 
5372
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5373
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5374
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5375
          building them.
5376
 
5377
        - Detection of build file changes
5378
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5379
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5380
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5381
 
5382
        - Quieter make output
5383
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5384
 
5385
 
5386
Minor changes:
5387
    MakeAnt Directive
5388
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5389
 
5390
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5391
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5392
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5393
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5394
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5395
 
5396
    CSHARP toolset
5397
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5398

Minor changes:
5405
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5406
    are generated.
5407
 
5408
    MakeAnt
5409
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5410
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5411
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5412
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5413
 
5414
    MCR platform
5415

5423
Minor changes:
5424
    MakeAnt directive extended
5425
    New option: --PackageBase
5426
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5427
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5428
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5429
 
5430
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5431
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5432
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5433
        package image being created.

5452
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5453
 
5454
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5455
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5456
 
5457
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5458
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5459
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5460
 
5461
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5462
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5463
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5464
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

5491
Minor changes:
5492
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5493
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5494
 
5495
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5496
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5497
      last.
5498
 
5499
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5500
 
5501
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5502
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5503
 
5504
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5505
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5506
 
5507
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5508
 
5509
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5510
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5511
 
5512
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5513
 
5514
 
5515
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5516
           with the --System option
5517
 
5518

5524
Major changes:
5525
 
5526
Minor changes:
5527
    * Solaris Toolset
5528
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5529
      dependent packages.
5530
 
5531
    * RunTest operation
5532
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5533
 
5534
    * Csharp toolkit
5535

5539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5540
Major changes:
5541
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5542
 
5543
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5544
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5545
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5546
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5547
      path.
5548
 
5549
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5550
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5551
      reproducible.
5552
 
5553
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5554
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5555
 
5556
      There are several aspects to the change
5557
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5558
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5559
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5560
 
5561
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5562
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5563
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5564
          controlled separately.
5565
 
5566
Minor changes:
5567
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5568
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5569
        Remove duplicates
5570
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5571

5575
Major changes:
5576
 
5577
Minor changes:
5578
    * Makefile sanity test
5579
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5580
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5581
 
5582
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5583
      x86 machine.
5584
 
5585
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5586
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5587
 
5588

5589
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5591
Major changes:
5592
    * RunTest directive
5593
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5594
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5595
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5596
 
5597
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5598
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5599
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5600
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5601
 
5602
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5603
        builder within the current toolset.
5604
 
5605
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5606
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5607
 
5608
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5609
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5610
      containing the RunTest directive.
5611
 
5612
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5613
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5614
 
5615
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5616
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5617
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5618
 
5619
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5620
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5621
                            P or D suffix.
5622
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5623
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5624
 
5625
Minor changes:
5626
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5627
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5628
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5629
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5630
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5631
 
5632
    * Save Build Utility
5633
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5634
      used in a ripple build.
5635
 
5636
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5637
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5638
 
5639
    * Release Utility
5640
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5641
      when an error is encountered.
5642
 
5643
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5644
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5645
 
5646
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5647
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5648
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5649
 
5650
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5651
      before the makefiles are created.
5652
 
5653
    * TestProg directive
5654
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5655
 
5656
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5657
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5658
 
5659

5661
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5662
Major changes:
5663
    * New build target
5664
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5665
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5666
 
5667
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5668
            DEVLINUX
5669
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5670
 
5671
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5672
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5673
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5674
 
5675
Minor changes:
5676
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5677
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5678
 
5679
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5680
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5681
 
5682
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5683
      and .cs files.
5684
 
5685
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5686
      thing.
5687
 
5688
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5689
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5690
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5691
      were it places temp files.
5692
 
5693
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5694
      interaction with other builds.
5695
 
5696
    * Release utility command
5697
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5698
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5699
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5747
Major changes:
5748
 
5749
Minor changes:
5750
  * WINCE Support
5751
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5752
 
5753
  * Removed the following targets
5754
        TP5600
5755
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5756
        TP5600_EMU
5757
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5758
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5759
 
5760
  * Deployment
5761
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5762
 
5763
  * build.pl
5764
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5765
 
5766
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5767
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5768
 
5769
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5770
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5771
    build.
5772
 
5773
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5774
 
5775
  * Tool: escrow
5776
     New features
5777
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5778
     are not in the SBOM.
5779
 
5780
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5781
 
5782
     Specify packages to be ignored.
5783

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5786
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5788
Major changes:
5789
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5790
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5791
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5792
 
5793
  * GenerateFiles
5794
    Added the options:
5795
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5796
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5797
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5798
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5799
 
5800
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5801
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5802
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5803
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5804
                                  required.
5805
 
5806
 
5807
Minor changes:
5808
  * GenerateFile directive
5809
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5810
 
5811
  * GCC Toolset
5812
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5813
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5814
    be rebuilt.
5815
 
5816
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5817
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5818
 
5819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5820
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5821
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5822
Major changes:
5823
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5824
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5825
    environment variables.
5826
 
5827
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5828
            moved.
5829
 
5830
    This will affect users that:
5831
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5832
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5833
 
5834
        2) Use the ABT system
5835
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5836
           the required configuration
5837
 
5838
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5839
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5840
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5841
    Windows
5842
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5843
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5844
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5845
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5846
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5847
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5848
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5849
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5850
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5851
 
5852
 
5853
  * New build platforms
5854
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5855
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5856
 
5857
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5858
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5859
 
5860
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5861
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5862
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5863
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5864
 
5865
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5866
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5867
    release.
5868
 
5869
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5870
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5871
 
5872
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5873
    need to be converted.
5874
 
5875
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5876
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5877
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5878
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5879
    used for different targets platforms.
5880
 
5881
  * Sandbox support
5882
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5883
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5884
 
5885
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5886
 
5887
Minor changes:
5888
 
5889
 
5890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5891
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5893
Major changes:
5894
  * MakeAnt directive
5895
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5896
 
5897
    New options
5898
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5899
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5900
 
5901
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5902
    run_unit_tests phase.
5903
 
5904
  * Sandbox support
5905
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5906
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5907
 
5908
Minor changes:
5909
  * jats build
5910
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5911
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5912
 
5913
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5914
 
5915
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5916
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5917
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5918
 
5919
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5920
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5921
 
5922
  * JATS.BAT
5923
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5924
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5925
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5926
 
5927
  * jats label
5928
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5929
 
5930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5931
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5933
Major changes:
5934
  * New build platform:
5935
        LMOS_TP5600
5936
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5937
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5938
 
5939
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5940
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5941
    describe the group of platforms.
5942
 
5943
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5944
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5945
    build these targets.
5946
 
5947
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5948
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5949
 
5950
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5951
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5952
 
5953
  * New build platform: WINCE
5954
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5955
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5956
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5957
 
5958
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5959
            WCEIT3000
5960
            WCEPA961
5961
            WCEPA962
5962
            WCEPCM7220
5963
            WCEPSION_420
5964
            WCEPSPC_arm
5965
            WCEPSPC_emu
5966
            WCEX86A420
5967
            WCEX86A500
5968
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5969
 
5970
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5971
 
5972
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5973
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5974
    that contain packaging directives.
5975
 
5976
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5977
    very unusual configurations.
5978
 
5979
Minor changes:
5980
  * Directive: PackageFile
5981
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5982
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
5983
    an '='.
5984
 
5985
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
5986
    of "--Subdir=etc".
5987
 
5988
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
5989
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
5990
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
5991
 
5992
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
5993
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
5994
 
5995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5996
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
5997
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5998
Major changes:
5999
 
6000
  * JATS release command
6001
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6002
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6003
 
6004
    Rules are:
6005
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6006
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6007
                            File will be placed on a branch
6008
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6009
                            New directory will branch
6010
 
6011
Minor changes:
6012
  * JATS release command
6013
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6014
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6015
 
6016
  * JATS label command
6017
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6018
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6019
 
6020
  * JATS make
6021
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6022
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6023
    was re-packaged.
6024
 
6025
  * JATS escrow
6026
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6027
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6028
 
6029
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6030
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6031
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6032
 
6033
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6034
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6035
    interface directory.
6036
 
6037
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6038
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6039
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6040
    directory as seen by the package.
6041
 
6042
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6043
 
6044
  * JAVA 6
6045
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6046
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6047
 
6048
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6049
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6050
 
6051
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6052
 
6053
  * Jats command: vars
6054
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6055
    These indicate potential problems.
6056
 
6057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6058
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6060
Major changes:
6061
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6062
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6063
    libarry is also created.
6064
 
6065
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6066
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6067
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6068
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6069
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6070
    information contained within the file.
6071
 
6072
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6073
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6074
 
6075
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6076
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6077
 
6078
  * Building Perl Modules
6079
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6080
    documentation on the build machine.
6081
 
6082
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6083
 
6084
Minor changes:
6085
  * jats create_dpkg
6086
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6087
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6088
 
6089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6090
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6092
Major changes:
6093
  * JATS JAVA build target
6094
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6095
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6096
 
6097
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6098
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6099
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6100
    is then picked up as the default version.
6101
 
6102
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6103
    build.pl file.
6104
 
6105
Minor changes:
6106
  * jats release
6107
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6108
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6109
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6110
 
6111
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6112
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6113
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6114
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6115
    the name of the view.
6116
 
6117
  * GenerateFiles directive
6118
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6119
 
6120
  * MOS Toolset
6121
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6122
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6123
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6124
 
6125
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6126
 
6127
 
6128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6129
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6131
Major changes:
6132
 
6133
Minor changes:
6134
  * JATS environment
6135
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6136
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6137
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6138
 
6139
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6140
 
6141
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6142
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6143
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6144
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6145
    to be packaged.
6146
 
6147
  * Generated makefiles
6148
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6149
 
6150
  * Generating MOS THX files
6151
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6152
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6153
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6154
 
6155
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6156
 
6157
  * JATS release
6158
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6159
 
6160
  * JATS extract
6161
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6162
 
6163
  * JATS Toolset
6164
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6165
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6166
 
6167

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6169
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6171
Major changes:
6172
 
6173
Minor changes:
6174
  * jats label
6175
    Added a -vob=name option
6176
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6177
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6178
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6179
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6180
 
6181
    Added a -user=name option
6182
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6183
    label to the named user.
6184
 
6185
  * jats release
6186
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6187
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6188
 
6189
  * JATS build.pl
6190
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6191
    ie:
6192
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6193
 
6194
 
6195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6196
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6197
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6198
Major changes:
6199
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6200
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6201
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6202
    the makefile internals. ie:
6203
        --Var(BuildName)
6204
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6205
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6206
 
6207
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6208
 
6209
  * GenerateFiles
6210
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6211
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6212
 
6213
  * BuildPlatforms
6214
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6215
 
6216
Minor changes:
6217
  * GCC Toolset
6218
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6219
 
6220
Internal changes:
6221
  * GenerateFiles
6222
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6223
 
6224
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6225
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6226
 
6227
 
6228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6229
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6231
Major changes:
6232
  * Caching JATS
6233
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6234
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6235
 
6236
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6237
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6238
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6239
 
6240
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6241
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6242
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6243
 
6244
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6245
 
6246
Minor changes:
6247
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6248
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6249
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6250
 
6251
  * jats build
6252
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6253
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6254
    processed by the build.
6255
 
6256
  * jats build
6257
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6258
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6259
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6260
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6261
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6262
 
6263
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6264
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6265
    Path is not specified.
6266
 
6267
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6268
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6269
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6270
        --Dir=$Pinc
6271
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6272
 
6273
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6274
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6275
    Windows platform.
6276
 
6277
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6278
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6279
            by 'purecov.
6280
 
6281
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6282
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6283
 
6284
        - OPTIONS=purify
6285
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6286
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6287
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6288

6291
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6293
Major changes:
6294
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6295
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6296
    Example:
6297
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6298
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6299
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6300
 
6301
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6302
    been determined.
6303
 
6304
Minor changes:
6305
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6306
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6307
    located at build-time.
6308
 
6309
  * Unix based systems
6310
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6311
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6312
 
6313
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6314
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6315
    driver being built.
6316
 
6317

6326
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6327
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6328
 
6329
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6330
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6331
 
6332
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6333
    dependancy information within a package.
6334
 
6335
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6336
    messages.

6344
 
6345
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6346
 
6347
    GenerateFiles.
6348
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6349
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6350
                      be run on every invocation.
6351
 
6352
 
6353
Minor changes:
6354
  * Added the jats version command
6355
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6356
 
6357
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6358
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6359
  There are two mechanism:
6360
 
6361
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6362
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6363
 
6364
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6365
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6366
 
6367
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6368
  default.
6369
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6370
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6371

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6375
Major changes:
6376
  * SunWorks Toolset
6377
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6378
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6379
    It is based on machine type.
6380
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6381
 
6382
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6383
 
6384
Minor changes:
6385
  * Perl DBI interface
6386
    Removed the message showing database connection
6387
 
6388
  * JATS internal library
6389
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6390
 
6391

6393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6394
Major changes:
6395
  * GCC Toolset
6396
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6397
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6398
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6399
 
6400
  * Added platforms
6401
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6402
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6403
    TP5600_EMU
6404
 
6405
Minor changes:
6406
  * descpkg file reader
6407
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6408
    field separator.
6409
 
6410
  * JATS eprog command
6411
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6412
 
6413
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6414
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6415
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6416
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6417
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6418
 
6419
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6420
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6421
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6422
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6423
 
6424
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6425
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6437
 
6438
 
6439
Minor changes:
6440
  * JATS wrapper script
6441
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6442
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6443
    to setup links to system programs.
6444

6466
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6467
        no_misalign         - Default
6468
 
6469
        multithread         - Default

6482
        debug_optimise
6483
        debug_debuginfo
6484
 
6485
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6486
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6487
    Theses are:
6488
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6489
        SOLARIS_AMD
6490
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6491
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6492
 
6493
Minor changes:
6494
  * AT3232 toolset
6495
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6496
 
6497
  * Jats build

    Altered the programs help mechanism to use perl POD.
6499
    Extended the builtin help text.

6503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6504
Major changes:
6505
 
6506
Minor changes:
6507
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6508
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6509
    messages
6510
 
6511
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6512
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6513
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6514
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6515
 
6516
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6517
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6518
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6519
Major changes:
6520
 
6521
Minor changes:
6522
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6523
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6524
    library without creating the body of the library:
6525
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6526
 
6527
 
6528
  * MOS toolsets
6529
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6530
    library without creating the body of the library:
6531
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6532
 
6533
  * JATS BIN directories
6534
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6535
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6536
    using autoconf.
6537
 
6538
  * Generate directive
6539
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6540
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6541
 
6542
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6543
 
6544
 
6545
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6546
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6548
Major changes:
6549
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6550
    Initial release.
6551
 
6552
Minor changes:
6553
 
6554
 
6555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6556
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6558
Major changes:
6559
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6560
    Initial release.
6561
 
6562
  * Packaging directives
6563
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6564
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6565
 
6566
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6567
        SOLARIS
6568
        WIN32
6569
 
6570
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6571
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6572
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6573
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6574
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6575
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6576
 
6577
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6578
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6579
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6580
 
6581
 
6582
Minor changes:
6583
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6584
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6585
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6586
 
6587
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6588
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6589
    location
6590
 
6591
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6592
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6593
 
6594
  * Utility genrc
6595
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6596
 
6597
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6598
    Added option: -new
6599
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6600
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6601
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6602
 
6603
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6604
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6605
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6606
 
6607
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6608
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6609
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6610
 
6611
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6612
   features - in a uniform manner.
6613
 
6614
 
6615
Internal Changes:
6616
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6617
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6618
 
6619
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6620
        1) Platform information available at build time
6621
        2) Dynamic platform names
6622
 
6623
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6624
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6625
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6626
 
6627
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6628
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6629
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6630
 
6631
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6632
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6633
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6634
    needed.
6635
 
6636
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6637
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6638
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6639
    files from all of these.
6640

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6642
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6644
Major changes:
6645
 
6646
Minor changes:
6647
  * WinCE toolset
6648
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6649
 
6650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6651
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6653
Major changes:
6654
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6655
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6656
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6657
 
6658
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6659
 
6660
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6661
    the operations.
6662
 
6663
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6664
 
6665
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6666
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6667
 
6668
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6669
 
6670
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6671
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6672
 
6673
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6674
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6675
    Extended the built-in help
6676
    Added useful error messages
6677
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6678
 
6679
  * WinCE toolset
6680
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6681
 
6682
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6683
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6684
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6685
 
6686
Minor changes:
6687
  * JATS wrapper script
6688
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6689
    the command line.
6690
 
6691
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6692
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6693
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6694
 
6695
Internal Changes:
6696
  * Common Error Reporting
6697
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6698
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6699
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6700
    level.
6701
 
6702
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6703
    displayed.
6704
 
6705
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6706
 
6707
  * Added JatsSystem module
6708
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6710
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6712
Major changes:
6713
 
6714
Minor changes:
6715
  * BR Compiler toolset
6716
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6717
    .def files to include other files.
6718
 
6719
  * IAR toolset
6720
    Added AT7272 support
6721
 
6722
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6723
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6724
 
6725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6726
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6727
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6728
Major changes:
6729
 
6730
Minor changes:
6731
  * BR Compiler toolset
6732
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6733
    use.
6734
 
6735
 
6736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6737
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6739
Major changes:
6740
 
6741
Minor changes:
6742
  * Mictotec toolset
6743
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6744
    builds.
6745
 
6746
  * JATS Core
6747
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6748
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6749
    behaviour.
6750
 
6751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6752
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6754
Major changes:
6755
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6756
    Deployment package will be affected.
6757
 
6758
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6759
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6760
 
6761
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6762
 
6763
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6764
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6765
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6766
    packages.
6767
 
6768
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6769
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6770
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6771
 
6772
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6773
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6774
 
6775
Minor changes:
6776
  * SubDir directive
6777
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6778
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6779
 
6780
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6781
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6782
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6783
    of the file usage.
6784
 
6785
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6786
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6787
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6788
 
6789
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6790
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6791
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6792
 
6793
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6794
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6795
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6796
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6797
 
6798
 
6799
Internal Changes:
6800
  * Code refactor
6801
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6802
 
6803
  * Deployment utilities
6804
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6805
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6806
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6807
    the module can locate the file.
6808
 
6809
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6810
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6811
 
6812
  * JATS core
6813
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6814
 
6815
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6816
 
6817
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6818
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6819
    through the use of environment variables.
6820
 
6821
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6822
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6823
 
6824
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6825
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6826
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6827
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6828
 
6829
  * Make environment
6830
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6831
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6832
 
6833
 
6834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6835
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6837
Major changes:
6838
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6839
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6840
 
6841
 
6842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6843
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6845
 
6846
Not Released.
6847
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6848
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6849
 
6850
 
6851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6852
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6854
Major changes:
6855
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6856
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6857
    radically replaced.
6858
 
6859
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6860
    Usage:
6861
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6862
 
6863
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6864
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6865
    this solution:
6866
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6867
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6868
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6869
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6870
 
6871
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6872
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6873
    order to work.
6874
 
6875
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6876
    reduced functionality.
6877
 
6878
 
6879
Minor changes:
6880
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6881
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6882
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6883
 
6884
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6885
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6886
    within the makefiles.
6887
        Options:
6888
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6889
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6890
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6891
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6892
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6893
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6894
        Useage:
6895
 
6896
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6897
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6898
 
6899
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6900
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6901
    is not in the current directory.
6902
 
6903
  * Jats Command: ant'
6904
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6905
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6906
 
6907
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6908
 
6909
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6910
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6911
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6912
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6913
 
6914
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6915
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6916
    Thus
6917
 
6918
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6919
 
6920
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6921

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6926
Major changes:
6927
 
6928
Minor changes:
6929
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6930
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6931
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6932
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6933
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6934
 
6935
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6936
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6937
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6938
 
6939
Internal changes:
6940
  * JATS toolsets
6941
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6942
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6943
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6944
 
6945
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6946
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6947
 
6948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6949
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6951
Major changes:
6952
  * Jats command: etool
6953
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6954
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6955
 
6956
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6957
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6958
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6959
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6960
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6961
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6962
 
6963
Minor changes:
6964
 
6965
 
6966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6967
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6969
Major changes:
6970
  * JATS environment variables
6971
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6972
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6973
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6974
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6975
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6976
 
6977
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6978
              Remote repository
6979
 
6980
    Added GBE_DPLY
6981
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6982
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
6983
 
6984
  * MOS_MRI toolset
6985
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
6986
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
6987
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
6988
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
6989
 
6990
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
6991
    processed once and it will be processed last.
6992
 
6993
 
6994
Minor changes:
6995
  * JATS utility: build
6996
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
6997
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
6998
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
6999
 
7000
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7001
    Ensure label is not locked
7002
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7003
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7004
 
7005
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7006
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7007
    to a specific type of build.
7008
 
7009
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7010
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7011
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7012
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7013
 
7014
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7015
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7016
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7017
 
7018
  * JATS utility: release
7019
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7020
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7021
 
7022
  * JATS utility: label
7023
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7024
    when it is being created.
7025
 
7026
Internal Changes
7027
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7028
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7029
 
7030
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7031
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7032
 
7033
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7034
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7035
    different results.
7036
 
7037
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7038
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7039
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7040
 
7041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7042
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7044
Major changes:
7045
 
7046
  * MCR toolset
7047
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7048
 
7049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7050
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7052
Major changes:
7053
  * WIN32 utilities
7054
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7055
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7056
 
7057
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7058
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7059
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7060
 
7061
Minor changes:
7062
  * BuildVersion
7063
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7064
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7065
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7066
 
7067
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7068
 
7069
  * Unix Builds
7070
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7071
    library or a shared library.
7072
 
7073
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7074
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7075
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7076
    start with 'lib'.
7077
 
7078
  * BuildPkgArchive
7079
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7080
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7081
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7082
 
7083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7084
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7086
Major changes:
7087
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7088
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7089
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7090
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7091
    being manually maintained.
7092
 
7093
 
7094
Minor changes:
7095
  * MakeAnt directive
7096
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7097
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7098
    supports ANT builds.
7099
 
7100
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7101
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7102
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7103
 
7104
  * Label utility
7105
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7106
    files to be labeled.
7107
 
7108
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7109
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7110
    on Solaris.
7111
 
7112
  * Generated makefiles
7113
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7114
    nothing.
7115
 
7116
  * MOS Toolset
7117
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7118
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7119
    modules.
7120
 
7121
  * Utility: gen_cots
7122
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7123
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7124
 
7125
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7126
 
7127
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7128
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7129
 
7130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7131
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7133
Major changes:
7134
  None
7135
 
7136
Minor changes:
7137
  * DEVI addressed
7138
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7139
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7140
 
7141
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7142
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7143
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7144
 
7145
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7146
 
7147
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7148
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7149
 
7150
  * RunTest directive
7151
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7152
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7153
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7154
 
7155
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7156
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7157
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7158
    packaged under JATS
7159
 
7160
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7161
          supported within JATS.
7162
 
7163
  * Jats utility wrapper
7164
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7165
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7166
 
7167
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7168
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7169
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7170
 
7171
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7172
    Eg: jats ant
7173
 
7174
  * Jats utility wrapper
7175
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7176
 
5710 dpurdie 7177
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7178
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7179
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7180
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7181
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7182
 
5710 dpurdie 7183
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7184
    expect a build.pl file.
7185
 
7186
  * Jats utility wrapper
7187
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7188
 
7189
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7190
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7191
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7192
 
7193
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7194
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7195
 
7196
  * Build files
7197
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7198
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7199
 
7200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7201
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7203
Major changes:
7204
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7205
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7206
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7207
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7208
 
7209
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7210
 
7211
Minor changes:
7212
  * None
7213
 
7214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7215
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7217
Major changes:
7218
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7219
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7220
    ie:
7221
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7222
 
7223
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7224
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7225
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7226
    environments are compatible.
7227
 
7228
 
7229
Minor changes:
7230
  * BuildName option
7231
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7232
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7233
 
7234
  * jats.bat
7235
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7236
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7237
 
7238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7239
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7241
Major changes:
7242
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7243
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7244
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7245
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7246
 
7247
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7248
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7249
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7250
 
7251
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7252
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7253
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7254
 
7255
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7256
    transferred.
7257
 
7258
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7259
    See notes below.
7260
 
7261
  * WIN32 toolset
7262
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7263
    correctly.
7264
 
7265
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7266
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7267
 
7268
  * BuildVersion
7269
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7270
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7271
    other langauges as needed.
7272
 
7273
 
7274
Minor changes:
7275
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7276
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7277
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7278
    version strings.
7279
 
7280
  * GenerateFiles directive
7281
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7282
    package or an imported package.
7283
 
7284
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7285
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7286
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7287
 
7288
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7289
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7290
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7291
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7292
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7293
 
7294
Internal Changes
7295
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7296
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7297
    of utilities.
7298
 
7299
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7300
    functions.
7301
 
7302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7303
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7305
Major changes:
7306
  * Generated makefiles
7307
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7308
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7309
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7310
 
7311
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7312
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7313
    incorrectly processing:
7314
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7315
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7316
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7317
    confused.
7318
 
7319
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7320
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7321
    The construct
7322
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7323
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7324
    then it works.
7325
 
7326
  * MakeAnt directive
7327
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7328
 
7329
    This option has the following effects
7330
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7331
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7332
 
7333
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7334
           early - in the generated files phase.
7335
 
7336
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7337
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7338
 
7339
 
7340
Minor changes:
7341
  * JATS post-installation script
7342
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7343
 
7344
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7345
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7346
    windows.
7347
 
7348
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7349
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7350
 
7351
  * Jats wrapper script
7352
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7353
        1) Contain spaces
7354
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7355
 
7356
  * Toolset
7357
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7358
 
7359
  * JAVA toolset
7360
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7361
    directive:
7362
 
7363
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7364
 
7365
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7366
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7367
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7368
 
7369
  * GCC Toolset
7370
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7371
 
7372
  * Makefile generation
7373
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7374
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7375
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7376
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7377
    package could not be used.
7378
 
7379
  * Unit Tests
7380
    The following environment variables are set:
7381
 
7382
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7383
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7384
 
7385
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7386
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7387
 
7388
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7389
 
7390
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7391
 
7392
 
7393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7394
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7396
Major changes:
7397
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7398
 
7399
    Special features of this toolset.
7400
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7401
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7402
       incorporated within the target image.
7403
 
7404
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7405
       --Set=Name=Value
7406
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7407
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7408
 
7409
       --Ref=name
7410
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7411
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7412
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7413
                will be taken from the build version number.
7414
 
7415
Minor changes:
7416
  * MOS Toolset
7417
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7418
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7419
    packaged.
7420
 
7421
  * Src directive
7422
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7423
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7424
    specifier.
7425
 
7426
  * WIN32 runtime support
7427
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7428
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7429
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7430
 
7431
Internal:
7432
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7433
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7434
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7435
 
7436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7437
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7439
Major changes:
7440
    * BuildAlias directive
7441
      Added options.
7442
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7443
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7444
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7445
                          targets.
7446
      Eg:
7447
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7448
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7449
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7450
 
7451
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7452
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7453
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7454
 
7455
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7456
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7457
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7458
 
7459
 
7460
Minor changes:
7461
  * Label utility
7462
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7463
    build.pl file
7464
 
7465
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7466
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7467
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7468
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7469
    --FilterIn option.
7470
 
7471
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7472
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7473
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7474
 
7475
  * Location of descpkg file
7476
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7477
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7478
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7479
 
7480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7481
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7483
Major changes:
7484
  * RunTest directive
7485
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7486
    Additional options
7487
      --CopyIn=file
7488
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7489
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7490
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7491
        the test area.
7492
 
7493
    Additional operations
7494
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7495
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7496
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7497
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7498
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7499
    Allows flags:
7500
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7501
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7502
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7503
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7504
 
7505
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7506
    existence is tested.
7507
 
7508
  * Packaging Directives
7509
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7510
    such as LMOS.
7511
 
7512
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7513
 
7514
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7515
 
7516
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7517
 
7518
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7519
 
7520
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7521
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7522
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7523
 
7524
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7525
 
7526
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7527
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7528
 
7529
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7530
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7531
 
7532
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7533
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7534
 
7535
Minor changes:
7536
  * Script directive
7537
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7538
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7539
 
7540
  * JATS environment
7541
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7542
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7543
    the JATS wrapper script.
7544
 
7545
  * Label utility
7546
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7547
    There are three modes of operation:
7548
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7549
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7550
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7551
 
7552
 
7553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7554
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7556
Major changes:
7557
 
7558
Minor changes:
7559
  * label utility
7560
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7561
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7562
 
7563
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7564
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7565
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7566
      --ProgLoader=name
7567
 
7568
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7569
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7570
    Options to do this are:
7571
        --TreeDir=name
7572
        --FilterOut=regexp
7573
        --FilterIn=regexp
7574
        --StripDir
7575
 
7576
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7577
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7578
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7579
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7580
 
7581
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7582
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7583
 
7584
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7585
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7586
 
7587
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7588
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7589
 
7590
 
7591
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7592
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7594
Major changes:
7595
    * Make commands
7596
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7597
 
7598
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7599
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7600
 
7601
    * Label utility
7602
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7603
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7604
 
7605
Minor changes:
7606
    * Toolsets
7607
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7608
      variables and overrides.
7609
 
7610
      The make_init target is always run.
7611
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7612
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7613
 
7614
    * Deployment
7615
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7616
      with deployment operations.
7617
 
7618
    * Release utility
7619
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7620
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7621
      restricted by options within the build.
7622
 
7623
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7624
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7625
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7626
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7627
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7628
 
7629
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7630
      directives.
7631
 
7632
    * MakeProject directive
7633
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7634
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7635
 
7636
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7637
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7638
      is preserved.
7639
 
7640
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7641
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7642
      statements.
7643
 
7644
    * Mugfile generation
7645
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7646
      be placed in the target package.
7647
 
7648
 
7649
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7650
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7652
Major changes:
7653
    * BuildVersion directive
7654
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7655
      number as well as a patch number.
7656
 
7657
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7658
      number.
7659
 
7660
Minor changes:
7661
    * AddFlags directives
7662
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7663
      duplicate flags being added.
7664
 
7665
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7666
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7667
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7668
 
7669
    * Mug File Generation
7670
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7671
 
7672
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7673
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7674
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7675
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7676
     directory.
7677
 
7678
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7679
     reproducible.
7680
 
7681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7682
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7684
Major changes:
7685
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7686
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7687
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7688
      longer a list of directories.
7689
 
7690
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7691
      done within the toolset.
7692
 
7693
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7694
 
7695
    * JATS environment variables
7696
      Redefined variable
7697
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7698
                          Previously was a list that included the
7699
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7700
 
7701
      New variable
7702
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7703
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7704
 
7705
 
7706
Minor changes:
7707
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7708
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7709
      target platforms to be extracted.
7710
 
7711
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7712
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7713
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7714
 
7715
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7716
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7717
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7718
 
7719
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7720
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7721
 
7722
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7723
      Support ANT based XML files
7724
 
7725
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7726
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7727
      structure.
7728
 
7729
    * makefile.pl's
7730
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7731
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7732
 
7733
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7734
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7735
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7736
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7737
 
7738
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7739
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7740
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7741
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7742
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7743
      -- Auto.
7744
 
7745
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7746
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7747
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7748
 
7749
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7750
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7751
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7752
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7753
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7754
 
7755
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7756
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7757
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7758
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7759
      installed on the machine.
7760
 
7761
    * WINCE Targets
7762
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7763
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7764
 
7765
 
7766
 
7767
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7768
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7770
Major changes:
7771
    * WIN32 platforms
7772
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7773
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7774
      and installed packages.
7775
 
7776
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7777
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7778
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7779
 
7780
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7781
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7782
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7783
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7784
      searched when looking for libraries.
7785
 
7786
Minor changes:
7787
    * GenerateFiles directive
7788
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7789
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7790
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7791
                          and drive letter
7792
 
7793
    * Src directive
7794
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7795
      directory of a package.
7796
 
7797
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7798
 
7799
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7800
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7801
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7802
 
7803
    * jats_rewrite utility
7804
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7805
 
7806
 
7807
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7808
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7810
Major changes:
7811
    * SunWorks production builds
7812
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7813
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7814
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7815
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7816
      compiler documentation.
7817
 
7818
    * MOS Toolset
7819
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7820
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7821
 
7822
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7823
 
7824
Minor changes:
7825
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7826
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7827
      This should not affect current users.
7828
 
7829
    * Mugfile generation
7830
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7831
      specified.
7832
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7833
 
7834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7835
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7837
Major changes:
7838
    MOS Toolset
7839
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7840
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7841
 
7842
Minor changes:
7843
    * Jats wrapper script
7844
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7845
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7846
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7847
 
7848
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7849
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7850
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7851
      may be suspect.
7852
 
7853
    * GenerateFiles directive
7854
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7855
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7856
 
7857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7858
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7860
Major changes:
7861
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7862
      build.xml files.
7863
 
7864
Minor changes:
7865
    * WIN32 toolset.
7866
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7867
 
7868
    * MakeAnt
7869
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7870
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7871
 
7872
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7873
 
7874
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7875
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7876
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7877
 
7878
    * MakeAnt directive
7879
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7880
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7881
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7882
 
7883
      Recommended usage:
7884
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7885
 
7886
Internal Changes
7887
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7888

7891
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7893
Major changes:
7894
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7895
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7896
      files packaged into the release.
7897
 
7898
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7899

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7902
 
7903
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7904
      The recommended platform is:
7905
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7906
 
7907
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7908
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7909
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7910
      components.
7911
 
7912
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

7916
 
7917
Minor changes:
7918
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7919
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7920
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7921
      by the package to be accessed.
7922
 
7923
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7924
      application or visual studio.
7925
 
7926
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7927
      and the JATS Core path.
7928
 
7929
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7930
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7931
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7932
 
7933
    * MOS Toolset
7934
      Add support for the TPT device
7935
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7936
 
7937
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7938
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7939
 
7940
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7941
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7942
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7943
 
7944
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7945
 
7946
Internal Changes
7947
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7948
      in jats.pl
7949
 
7950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7951
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7953
Major changes:
7954
    * JATS wrapper script
7955
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7956
 
7957
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7958
 
7959
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7960
 
7961
Minor changes:
7962
    * Deployment support
7963
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7964
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7965
 
7966
    * 'build'
7967
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7968
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7969
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7970
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7971
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7972
 
7973
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7974
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7975
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7976
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7977
                                      the link phase.
7978
 
7979
    * BuildPkgArchive
7980
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7981
      Previously these were ignored.
7982
      Minor code cleanup
7983
 
7984
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
7985
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
7986
      Manager "Source Path" field.
7987
 
7988
    * SOLARIS targets
7989
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
7990
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
7991
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
7992
 
7993
    * MugFile generation
7994
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
7995
      included in the final package.
7996
 
7997
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
7998
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
7999
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8000
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8001
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8002
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8003
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8004
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8005
 
8006
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8007
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8008
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8009
            --Option=(some_text)
8010
            --Option=[some_text]
8011
            --Option={some_text}
8012
 
8013
Internal Changes
8014
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8015
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8016
      code.
8017
 
8018

8019
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8020
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8021
Major changes:
8022
    * JATS wrapper script
8023
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8024
 
8025
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8026
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8027
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8028
      other components.
8029
 
8030
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8031
 
8032
    * JATS
8033
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8034
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8035
 
8036
    * Build operations
8037
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8038
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8039
      packages.
8040
 
8041
    * Make operations
8042
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8043
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8044
 
8045
Minor changes:
8046
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8047
      deployment builds.
8048
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8049
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8050
 
8051
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8052
 
8053
    * build.pl
8054
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8055
        processed. Allows
8056
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8057
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8058
        production.
8059
 
8060
    * MOS toolset
8061
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8062
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8063
 
8064
    * create_dpkg utility
8065
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8066
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8067
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8068
      progress of the build.
8069
 
8070
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8071
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8072
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8073
      system.
8074

8077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8078
Major changes:
8079
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8080
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8081
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8082
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8083
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8084
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8085
 
8086
    * WCEX86A500 target
8087
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8088
 
8089
    * MOS Toolsets
8090
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8091
      the compiler.
8092
 
8093
    * RunTest directive
8094
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8095
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8096
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8097
 
8098
Minor changes:
8099
    * JATS BUILD
8100
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8101
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8102
      highlight bad settings.
8103
 
8104
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8105
      access to extensions.
8106

    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8126
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8127
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8128
      Package directives.
8129
 
8130
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8131
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8132
      system.
8133

8135
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8137
Major changes:
8138
    * MOS Toolset
8139
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8140
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8141
 
8142
    * WIN32 Toolset
8143
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8144
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8145
      list.
8146
 
8147
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8148
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8149
 
8150
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8151
 
8152
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8153
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8154
 
8155
 
8156
Minor changes:
8157
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8158
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8159
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8160
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8161
      corrected.
8162
 
8163
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8164
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8165
 
8166
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8167
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8168
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8169
 
8170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8171
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8173
Major changes:
8174
    * WIN32 Toolset
8175
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8176
      use with multithreaded modes.
8177
 
8178
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8179
      --OnlyProd.
8180
 
8181
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8182
      within the makefile.pl.
8183
 
8184
Minor changes:
8185
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8186
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8187
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8188
      platforms.
8189
 
8190
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8191
 
8192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8193
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8195
Major changes:
8196
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8197
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8198
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8199
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8200
 
8201
    * Preliminary Support
8202
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8203
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8204
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8205
 
8206
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8207
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8208
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8209
 
8210
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8211
      building. The default build will build both.
8212
 
8213
Minor changes:
8214
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8215
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8216
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8217
 
8218
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8219
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8220
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8221
 
8222
 
8223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8224
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8226
Major changes:
8227
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8228
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8229
      or all.
8230
 
8231
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8232
      the library or program.
8233
 
8234
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8235
 
8236
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8237
      library or any debug files.
8238
 
8239
    * GenerateFiles
8240
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8241
 
8242
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8243
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8244
 
8245
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8246
              The filename of the prereq file
8247
 
8248
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8249
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8250
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8251
 
8252
 
8253
Minor changes:
8254
    * create_dpkg utility
8255
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8256
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8257
      the package has been altered.
8258
 
8259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8260
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8262
Major changes:
8263
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8264
      This is a WINCE target
8265
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8266
 
8267
    * New toolset
8268
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8269
 
8270
    * Modified toolset
8271
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8272
 
8273
    * Modified toolset
8274
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8275
 
8276
Minor changes:
8277
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8278
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8279
 
8280
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8281
 
8282
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8283
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8284
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8285
 
8286
      The change allows the construct
8287
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8288
      to be replaced by the simpler
8289
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8290
 
8291
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8292
      specified name.    
8293

8298
Major changes:
8299
    * Dependancy generator
8300
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
8301
      to allow for 4096 included files.

8312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8313
Major changes:
8314
    * The "package.pl" file.
8315
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8316
      package name being taken from the build name
8317
 
8318
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8319
      package Build Name.
8320
 
8321
Minor changes:
8322
    * create_dpkg utility
8323
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8324
 
8325

8328
Major changes:
8329
 
8330
Minor changes:
8331
    * Dependancy generator
8332
      Correct two common situations
8333
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8334
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8335
           ansi, but is often done.
8336
 
8337
    * GCC toolset
8338
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8339
      being created in the correct place.
8340
 
8341
    * jats "label"
8342
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8343
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8344
 
8345
 
8346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8347
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8348
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8349
Major changes:
8350
 
8351
Minor changes:
8352
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8353
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8354
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8355
 
8356
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8357
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8358
 
8359
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8360
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8361
      package was not being transferred.
8362
 
8363
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8364
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8366
Major changes:
8367
    * Support for solaris_i386
8368
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8369
      binaries for this target.
8370
 
8371
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8372
      with the GCC compiler.
8373
 
8374
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8375
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8376
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8377
 
8378
Minor changes:
8379
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8380
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8381
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8382
 
8383
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8384
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8385
 
8386
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8387
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8388
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8389
Major changes:
8390
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8391
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8392
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8393
 
8394
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8395
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8396
 
8397
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8398
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8399
      with either " or ' characters.
8400
 
8401
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8402
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8403
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8404
 
8405
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8406
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8407
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8408
 
8409
    * Jats wrapper
8410
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8411
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8412
      further commands.
8413
 
8414
Minor changes:
8415
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8416
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8417
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8418
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8419
 
8420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8421
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8423
Major changes:
8424
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8425
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8426
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8427
 
8428
      These options operation affect all components within the
8429
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8430
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8431
 
8432
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8433
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8434
 
8435
Minor changes:
8436
 
8437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8438
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8440
Major changes:
8441
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8442
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8443
 
8444
Minor changes:
8445
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8446
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8447
 
8448
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8449
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8450
 
8451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8452
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8454
Major changes:
8455
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8456
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8457
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8458
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8459
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8460
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8461
      installed.
8462
 
8463
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8464
      libraries that depend on each other.
8465
 
8466
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8467
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8468
 
8469
Minor changes:
8470
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8471
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8472
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8473
 
8474
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8475
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8476
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8477
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8478
 
8479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8480
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8482
Major changes:
8483
 
8484
Minor changes:
8485
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8486
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8487
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8488
      file.
8489
 
8490
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8491
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8492
 
8493
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8494
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8495
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8496
 
8497
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8498
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8499
 
8500
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8501
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8502
 
8503
    * WinCE toolsets
8504
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8505
      compiler specific libraries.
8506
 
8507
    * SOLARIS toolset
8508
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8509
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8510
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8511
 
8512
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8513
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8514
      cleaned up.
8515
 
8516
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8517
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8518
 
8519
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8520
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8521
      with either " or ' characters.

8525
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8527
Major changes:
8528
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8529
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8530
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8531
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8532
 
8533
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8534
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8535
 
8536
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8537
      user.
8538
 
8539
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8540
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8541
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8542
 
8543
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8544
      for the   -Gf option.
8545
 
8546
Minor changes:
8547
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8548
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8549
 
8550
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8551
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8552
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8553
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8554
 
8555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8556
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8558
Major changes:
8559
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8560
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8561
 
8562
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8563
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8564
      data addresses for the board.
8565
 
8566
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8567
 
8568
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8569
 
8570
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8571
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8572
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8573
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8574
         PackageFile
8575
 
8576
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8577
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8578
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8579
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8580
 
8581
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8582
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8583
      to be installed and packaged.
8584
 
8585
Minor changes:
8586
 
8587
    * cache_dpkg utility
8588
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8589
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8590
 
8591
    * label utility
8592
      New option -auto to create and label
8593
 
8594
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8595
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8596
 
8597
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8598
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8599
      directory. ie:
8600
 
8601
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8602
 
8603
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8604
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8605
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8606
 
8607
 
8608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8609
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8611
Major changes:
8612
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8613
 
8614
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8615
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8616
 
8617
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8618
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8619
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8620
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8621
 
8622
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8623
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8624
      compilation.
8625
 
8626
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8627
 
8628
Minor changes:
8629
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8630
      one is being produced.
8631
 
8632
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8633
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8634
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8635
 
8636
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8637
 
8638
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8639
 
8640
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8641
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8642
 
8643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8644
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8646
Major changes:
8647
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8648
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8649
 
8650
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8651
 
8652
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8653
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8654
      same directory
8655
 
8656
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8657
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8658
      documenattion.
8659
 
8660
Minor changes:
8661
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8662
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8663
 
8664
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8665
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8666
 
8667
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8668
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8669
 
8670
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8671
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8672
 
8673
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8674
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8675
      be exempt from this test.
8676
 
8677
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8678
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8679
 
8680
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8681
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8682
 
8683
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8684
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8685
      does.
8686
 
8687
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8688
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8689
 
8690
 
8691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8692
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8694
Major changes:
8695
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8696
 
8697
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8698
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8699
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8700
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8701
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8702
 
8703
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8704
      operations.
8705
 
8706
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8707
 
8708
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8709
 
8710
Minor changes
8711
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8712
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8713
 
8714
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8715
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8716
      directory is not added to the library path.
8717
 
8718
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8719
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8720
 
8721
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8722
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8723
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8724
 
8725
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8726
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8727
      specific flags.
8728
 
8729
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8730
 
8731
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8732
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8733
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8734
 
8735
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8736
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8737
      JATS.
8738
 
8739
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8740
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8741
 
8742
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8743
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8744
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8745
 
8746
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8747
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8748
 
8749
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8750
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8751
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8752
 
8753
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8754
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8755
 
8756
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8757
 
8758
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8759
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8760
 
8761
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8762
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8763
      objects.
8764
 
8765
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8766
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8767
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8768
      build defendants.
