787
 
788
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
789
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');

794
      build system.
795
 
796
Experimental:
797
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
798
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
799

Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
805
 
806
Minor changes:
807
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
808
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
809
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

812
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
814
 
815
Minor changes:
816
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
817
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
818
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
819
 
820
    * Build Files
821
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
822
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
823
 
824
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
825
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
826
 
827
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
828
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
829
 
830
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
831
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
832
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
833
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
834
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
835
 
836
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
837
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
838
     different architectures.
839
 
840
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
841
     are directed to one or more machines.
842
 
843
     Intended uses:
844
        Windows: Creating installers. 
845
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
846
 
847
       All: Specialized packaging.
848
 
849
    * Makefiles
850
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
851
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
852
      Eg:
853
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
854
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
855
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
856
      It could also have been written as:
857
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
858
      but NOT as:
859
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
860
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
861
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
862
 
863
    * Utility: sandbox
864
      Subcommand info 
865
        - Added option to test fingerprints

      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
875
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
876
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
877
 
878
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
879
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
880
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
881
 
882
    * GenerateFiles directive
883
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
884

903
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
904
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
905
 
906
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
907
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
908
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
909
      machine may build the toolset.
910
 
911
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
912
      platform.

933
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
934
 
935
    * Utility: escrow
936
      Added -skim option
937
 
938
    * Utility: sandbox
939
      Many improvements:
940
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
941
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
942
 
943
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
944
 
945
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
946
        if an error is detected.
947
 
948
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
949
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
950
 
951
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
952
        skipped during the build.
953
 
954
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

959
 
960
Minor changes:
961
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
962
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
963
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
964
 
965
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
966
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

1144
      [JATS-266] jats install and package - does not preserve symbolic links
5885 dpurdie 1145
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 1146
      the library: link and soname.
1147
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not 
1148
      preserved resulting in a much larger package that really required.

4728 dpurdie 1851
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
1852
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
1853
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
1854

    * EnvVars
1872
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1873

1874
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1875
 
1876
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1877
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1878
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1879
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1880
 
1881
    * Jats caching
1882
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1883
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

1909
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1910
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1911
 
1912
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1913
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1914
 
1915
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1916
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

    * BuildName directive
2192
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
2193
 
2194
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 2195
      Fixed use of a 'buildfilter' file in the sandbox directory.
4034 dpurdie 2196
 
2197
    * GCC Toolchain - General
4036 dpurdie 2198
      When building a shared library, all unresolved symbols will generate

2206
Minor changes:
2207
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2208
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2209
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2210
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2211
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2212
 
2213
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2214
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Major changes:
2220
 
2221
Minor changes:
2222
    * Utility: update_release
2223
      Added options:
2224
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2225
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2226
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2227
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2228
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2229
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2230
 
2231
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2232
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2233
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2234
 
2235
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2236
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2241
Major changes:
2242
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2243
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2244
      intended to build deployed software.
2245
 
2246
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2247
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2248
 
2249
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2250
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2251
 
2252
Minor changes:
2253
    * Jats wrapper script
2254
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2255
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2256
      Subversion instance of the command.
2257
 
2258
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2259
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2260
 
2261
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2262
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2263
 
2264
    * Utility: jats upddep
2265
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2266
      file under windows.
2267
 
2268
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2269
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2270
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2271
 
2272
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2273
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2274
 
2275
    * GCC Toolchain
2276
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2292
Major changes:
2293
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2294
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2295
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2296
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2297
 
2298
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2299
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2309
Minor changes:
2310
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2311
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2312
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2313
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2314
      line.
2315
 
2316
    * Jats Configuration
2317
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2318
 
2319
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2320
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2321
      and Linux.
2322
 
2323
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2324
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
2330
 
2331
Minor changes:
2332
    * Jats Core
2333
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2334
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2335
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2336
 
2337
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2338
      Used only by the build daemons.
2339
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2340
 
2341
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2342
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2343
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2348
Major changes:
2349
 
2350
Minor changes:
2351
    * svnrelease utility
2352
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2353
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2354
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2355
 
2356
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2357
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2358
      the named tag.
2359
 
2360
    * svnrelease utility
2361
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2362
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New CompileOption: NoVersionDLL
2372
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
2373
        covered by the makefile.
2374
 
2375
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2376
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2377
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2378
 
2379
    * ALL Toolsets
2380
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2381
 
2382
    * Utility vcsdiff
2383
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2384
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2385
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2393
    * Subversion Extraction
2394
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2395
      directory of the tag.
2396
 
2397
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2398
      repository.
2399
 
2400
    * Subversion Support
2401
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2402
      showing the user what to do.
2403
 
2404
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2405
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2406
      we have build support for this target.
2407
 
2408
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2409
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2410
 
2411
Internal:
2412
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2413
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2414
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2415
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
2432
    * Makefile generation
2433
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2434
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2435
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2436
      of warnings.
2437
 
2438
    * Makefile Generation
2439
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2448
Major changes:
2449
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2450
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2451
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2452
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2453
 
2454
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2455
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2456
      windows path scheme.
2457
 
2458
Minor changes:
2459
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2460
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2461
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2462
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2463
 
2464
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2465
        jats make clobber
2466
      This operates as before.
2467
 
2468
    * Utility: escrow
2469
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2470
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2471
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2472
 
2473
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2474
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2475
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2476
 
2477
    * Utility: svn : url
2478
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2479
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2480
 
2481
    * Utility: svn : import
2482
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2483
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2484
 
2485
    * Subversion Support
2486
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2487
      showing the user what to do.
2488
 
2489
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2490
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2491
      repositories.

2496
 
2497
Minor changes:
2498
    * Jats build
2499
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2500
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2501
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2502
 
2503
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2504
      command, with a sandbox.

2514
      Added two subcommands
2515
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2516
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2517
                 Can also display available branches.
2518
 
2054 dpurdie 2519
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2525
 
2526
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2527
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2528
      Modified two options:
2529
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2530
                        The named branch must not exist
2531
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2532
                        The named branch must exist
2533
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2542
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2543
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2544
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2571
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2572
      significantly.
2573
 
2574
Minor changes:
2575

2583
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2584
Major changes:
2585
    * Subversion support
2586
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2587
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2588
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2589
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2590
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2591
 
2592
Minor changes:
2593
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2594
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2595
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2596
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2597
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2598
 
2599
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2600
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2601
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2602
 
2603
    * Linux support utilities
2604
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2605
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
2606

Version:  2.100.6000.cr                               Released: 30-Jul-12
2610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2611
Major changes:
2612
    * Subversion Repository location
2613
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2614
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2615
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2616
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2617
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2618
 
2619
Minor changes:
2620
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2621
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2622
 
2623
    * Utility: svnrelease
2624
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2625
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2626
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2627
 
2628
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2629
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2630
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2631
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2632
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2633
 
2634
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2635
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2636
 
2637
    * Utility: sandbox
2638
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2639
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2640
 
2641
      Subcommand: populate
2642
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2643
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2644
      sandbox.
2645
 
2646
    * Subversion Support
2647
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2648
      repository is not supported.
2649
 
2650
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2651
      a progress indication.
2652
 
2653
    * Jats Online Documentation
2654
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2655
      online documentation.
2656
 
2657
    * Generated makefiles
2658
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2708

2709
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2710
 
2711

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2735
Major changes:
2736
 
2737
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2738
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2739
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2740
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2741
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2742
 
2743
    * C# Toolchain
2744

2755
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2756
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2757
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2758
 
2759
    * Utility ccrelease
2760
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2761
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2762
 
2763
    * Utility: svn
2764
      Improved package import processing.
2765
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2793
Major changes:
2794
 
2795
Minor changes:
2796
    * Command: jats clobber
2797
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2798
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2799
 
2800
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2801
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2802
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2803
 
2804
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2805
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2806
 
377 dpurdie 2807
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2808
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2809
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2810
 
2811
    * jats svnlabel
2812
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2813
 
2814
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2815
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2816
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2817
 
2818
    * Built Daemon support
2819
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2820
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2821

373 dpurdie 2823
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2825
Major changes:
2826
    * GCC Toolset
2827
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2828
      New methodology is:
2829
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2830
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2831
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2832
        as the main binary.
2833
 
2834
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2835
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2836
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2837
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2838
      both worlds.
2839
 
2840
Minor changes:
2841
    * HTML Documentation
2842
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2843
 
2844
Internal changes:
2845
    * Generated makefiles

2847
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
2848

2851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2852
Major changes:
2853
    * Jats Sandbox
2854
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2855
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2856
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2857
 
2858
    * RIORDS Platform
2859
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

2879
 
2880
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
2881
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
2882
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2883
 
2884
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2885
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2886
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2887
      a vob.
2888
 
2889
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

2965
    * New toolset: ARM251
2966
 
2967
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2968
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
2969
 
2970
Minor changes:
2971
    * HTML Help
2972
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2973
 
2974
    * jats build -noforce
2975
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2976
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2977
      be forced.
2978
 
2979
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2980
 
2981
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2982
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2983
 
2984
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2985
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2986
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2987
 
2988
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2989
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2990
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
2991
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
2992
 
2993
    * Utility: svnrelease
2994
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
2995
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
2996
 
2997
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
2998
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
2999
 
3000
    * Utility: svn
3001
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3002
      installed and can be used.
3003
 
3004
    * Toolset: CSharp
3005
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3006
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3007
      character.
3008
 
3009
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3010
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3011
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3012
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3013
      masking an error.
3014
 
3015
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3016
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3017
      enhancement.
3018
 
3019
    * Toolset: dafbr
3020
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3021
 
3022
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3023
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3024
        - Return correct path to package
3025
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3026
 
3027
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3028
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3029
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3030
 
3031
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3032
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3033
      packages.
3034
 
3035
    * make command: show
3036
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3037
      'jats make show' command.
3038
 
3039
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3040
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3041
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3042
 
3043
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3044
      executed on Unix machines.

3273
 
3274
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3275

3361
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
3362
      found in any of the the package archives.
3363
 
3364
    * Jats release -extract
3365
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
3366
      describes:
3367
        - the directory in which the user created the view
3368
        - the date of creation
3369
 
3370
    * PackageFile directive
3371
      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
3372
 
3373
Internal:
3374
    * PackageFile, PackageHdr and InstallHdr directives
3375

Major changes:
3382
 
3383
Minor changes:
3384
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3385
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3386
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3387
      resulting in multiple builds.
3388
 
3389
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3390
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3391
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3392
 
3393
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3394
 
3395
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3396
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3397
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
3401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3402
Major changes:
3403
 
3404
Minor changes:
3405
    * Jats label command
3406
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3407
      Not recommended for general use.
3408
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3409
      directories within the current view.
3410
 
3411
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3412
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3413
      elsewhere.
3414
 
3415
    * Jats save_build
3416
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3417
      the determination of a branch.
3418
 
3419
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3420
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3421
 
3422
    * Jats build
3423
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3424
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3425
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3426
 
3427
    * Borland6 toolset
3428
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3429
      to match the documented install location of:
3430
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3431
 
3432
    * Jats build
3433
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3434
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3435
      This is a very quick operation.
3436
 
3437
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3438
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3439
 
3440
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3441
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3442
      files are only recreated if need be.
3443
 
3444
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3445
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3446
      make the package.
3447
 
3448
    * Jats sandbox
3449
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3450
 
3451
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3452
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3453
 
3454
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3455
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3456
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3457
      is performed.
3458
 
3459
Internal:
3460
    * build.pl
3461
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

3495
Minor changes:
3496
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3497
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3498
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3499
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3500
 
3501
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3502
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3503
 
3504
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3505
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3506
      platform builds.
3507
 
3508
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3509
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3510
      directory tree.
3511
 
3512
    * New command: jats man
3513
      Produces full help on a specified item.

3525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3526
Major changes:
3527
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3528
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3529
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3530
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3531
 
3532
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3533
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3534
 
3535
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3536
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3537
 
3538
      Examples:
3539
            jats upddep -show
3540
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3541
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3542
 
3543
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3544
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3545
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3546
 
3547
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3548
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3549
 
3550
Minor changes:
3551
 
3552
Internal changes:
3553
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3558
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3559
Major changes:
3560
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3561
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3562
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3563
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3564
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3565
      stream.
3566
 
3567
      Example:
3568
 
3569
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3570
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3571
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3572
                     );
3573
Minor changes:
3574
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3575
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3576
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3577
      directive.
3578
 
3579
    * GCC Toolkit
3580
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3581
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3582
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3583
      the point of termination.
3584
 
3585
    * Jats save_build utility
3586
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3587
      under windows.
3588
 
3589
    * Jats sandbox
3590
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3591
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3592
      in different sandboxes.
3593
 
3594
    * Jats release
3595
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3604
      Added -locatedir=name
3605
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3606
      directory.
3607
 
3608
    * jats label utility
3609
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3610
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3611
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3612
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3613
 
3614
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

Minor changes:
3622
    * WinCe Toolsets
3623
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3624
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3625
        noExceptions            - Disable
3626
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3627
      Example:
3628
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3629
 
3630
    * Solaris targets
3631
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3632
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3633
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3634
      machine type.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3639
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3640
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3641
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3642
      project files.
3643
 
3644
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3645
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3646
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3647
 
3648
Minor changes:
3649
    * Added more internal documentation
3650
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3651
 
3652
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3653
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3654
 
3655
    * Jats save_build utility
3656
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3657
      under windows.
3658
 
3659
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3660
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3661
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3662
      libraries.
3663
 
3664
    * Solaris builds
3665
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3666
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3667
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3668
      of the build failure.
3669
 
3670
 
3671
Internal changes:
3672
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3673
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3674
 
3675
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3676
      PkgArchive topics.

3683
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3684
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3685
      existing 32-bit builds.
3686
 
3687
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

3693
 
3694
    * Package searching
3695
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3696
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3697
 
3698
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3699
 
3700
    * jats help
3701
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3702
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3703
 
3704
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3705
      with one of:
3706
        jats -h

3713
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3714
 
3715
      Corrected

Internal changes
3733
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3734
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3735
      Useful side effects include:
3736
 
3737
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3738
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3739
 
3740
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3741
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3742
 
3743
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3744
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3745
        BuildPkgArchive
3746
 
313 dpurdie 3747

3751
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3752
          reported by ERG.
3753
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3758
Major changes:
3759
 
3760
Minor changes:
3761
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3762
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3763
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3764
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3765
 
3766
    * Jats label utility
3767
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3768
 
3769
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3770
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3771
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3772
 
3773
    * Jats core
3774
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3775
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3776
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3784
    * CSHARP toolset
3785
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3786
      This is now fixed.
3787
 
309 dpurdie 3788
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3789
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3790
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3791
 
3792
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3793
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

3800
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3801
    * Generating makefiles
3802
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3803
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3804
      an error.
3805
 
3806
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3807
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3808
 
3809
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3810
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3816
Major changes:
3817
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3818
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3819
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3820
 
3821
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3822
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3823
 
3824
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3825
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3826
      Support includes
3827
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3828
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3829
 
3830
Minor changes:
3831
    * Build file processing
3832
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3833
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3834
 
3835
    * MOS builds
3836
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3837
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3838
 
3839
    * MOS builds
3840
      New 'known' product: PICP
3841
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3842
 
3843
    * GenerateFiles directive
3844
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3845
        under windows.
3846
 
3847
        .
3848
 
3849
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3850
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3851
 
3852
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3853
      to the output stream.
3854
 
3855
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3856
 
3857
    * Windows Shell
3858
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3859
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3860
 
3861
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3862
 
3863
    * H8S toolset
3864
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3865
 
3866
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3867
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3868
 
3869
Internal changes
3870
    * WinCe builds
3871
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3872
      content of the file.
3873
 
3874
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3875
 
3876
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3877
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3889
Major changes:
3890
 
3891
Minor changes:
3892
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3893
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3894
      Changes are transparent to users.
3895
 
3896
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3897
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3898
      this occurs.
3899
 
3900
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3901
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3902
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3903
      automated build framework.
3904
 
3905
    * jats sandbox command
3906
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3907
      'create' command.
3908
 
3909
    * jats command aliases. Added
3910
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3911

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3916
Major changes:
3917
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3918
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3919
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3920
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3921
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3922
      will work as expected
3923
 
3924
Minor changes:
3925
    * VS2008 Toolset
3926
      Picking up incorrect config details
3927
      May result in a warning message.
3928
 
3929
    * gen_cots utility
3930
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3931
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3932
 
3933
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3934
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

3981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3982
Major changes:
3983
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3984
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3985
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3986
 
3987
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3988
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3989
 
3990
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
3991
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
3992
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
3993
           names cannot be changed.
3994
 
3995
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
3996
           artifacts is very simplistic.
3997
 
3998
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
3999
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4000
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4001
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4002
 
4003
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4004
      file.
4005
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4006
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4007
      MyPackage.dpk.
4008
 
4009
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4010
      file.
4011
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4012
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4013
      MyDll.dpr.
4014
 
4015
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4016
      file.
4017
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4018
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4019
      MyProg.dpr.
4020
 
4021
Minor changes:
4022
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4023
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4024
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4025
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4026
 
4027
    * BuildVersion directive
4028
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4029
      in a Delphi Unit.
4030
 
4031
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4032
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4033
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4034
      'know' the location of the files.
4035
 
4036
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4037
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4038
 
4039
Internal Changes:
4040
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4041
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4042
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4043
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4044
 
4045
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4046
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4047
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4048

287 dpurdie 4050
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4052
Major changes:
4053
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4054
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4055
      information for purely C++ builds.
4056
 
289 dpurdie 4057
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4058
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4059
 
289 dpurdie 4060
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4061
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4062
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4063
 
4064
Minor changes:
4065
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4066
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4067
 
4068
    * updatenodespec utility
4069
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4070
      Manager database.

4098
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4099

4109
      used in the build.
4110
 
4111
    * Escrow command
4112
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4113
 
4114
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4115
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4116
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4117
 
4118
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4119
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4124
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4125
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4126
 
279 dpurdie 4127
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4128
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4129
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4130
      not contain '!SOLARIS'

4132
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4133
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4134
 
4135
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4136
 
4137
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4138
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4139

4143
        processed.
4144
 
4145
      Removed the '-delete' option

    * Sandbox command
4150
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4151
 
4152
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4153
      target from consideration in the build set.
4154
 
4155
    * MCR Toolset
4156
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4157
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4158
 
4159
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4160
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4161
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4162
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4163

        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4175
 
4176
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4177
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4178
     it contains 'jar' files.
4179
 
4180
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4181
 
4182
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4183
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4184
 
4185
   * BuildVersion directive
4186

4356
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4357
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4358

4381
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4382
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4383
 
4384
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
4523
      artifacts.
4524
 
4525
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
4526
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
4527
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
4528
 
4529
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4530
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4531
      time.
4532
 
4533
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4534
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
4535
 
4536
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
4537
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
4538
      Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified 
4539
      within the package.
4540
 
4541
    * Jats utility: dstatus
4542
      Suppresses archived releases.
4543
      Shows release state
4544
 
4545
    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
4546
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
4547
 
4548
Internal Changes:
4549
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4550
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4551
      Previously was being done at two places
4552
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4553
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4554
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4555
 
4556
    * JATS make: Command line
4557
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4558
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
4559
 
4560
      It didn't work on all platforms.
4561
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
4562
 
4563
    * JATS command line
4564
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
4565
      to allow:
4566
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4567
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4568
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4569
 
4570
    * JATS makefile generation
4571
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
4572
      Improved readability of the generation process
4573
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
4574
      Removed dead code
4575
      Improved the creation of Progs
4576
 
4577
    * JATS error reporting
4578
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
4579
      problems.
4580
 
4581
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
4582
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
4583
 
4584
    * Assorted Perl files
4585
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
4586
 
4587
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
4588
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
4589
      makefiles
4590
 
4591
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
4592
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4593
 
4594
    * FileUtils package.
4595
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4596
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
4597
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
4611
 
4612
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4613
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4614
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4615
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4616
 
4617
Minor changes:
4618
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4619
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4620
 
4621
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4622
      some windows tools.

4626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4627
Major changes:
4628
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4629
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4630
 
4631
      New platforms:
4632
        CSHARP2005
4633
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4634
         Support extends to allow:
4635
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4636
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4637
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4638
 
4639
        VS2005
4640
         Support extends to allow:
4641
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4642
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4643
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4644
 
4645
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4646
      through a version selector:
4647
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4648
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4649
 
4650
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4651
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4652
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4653
 
4654
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4655
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4656
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4657
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4658
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4659
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4660
          under VS2005.
4661
 
4662
Minor changes:
4663
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4664
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4665
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4666
 
4667
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4668
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4669
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4670
 
4671
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4672
 
4673
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4674
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4675
 
4676
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4677
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4678
      a minimal value of perl.
4679
 
4680
      Removed excessive require statements.
4681
 
4682
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4683
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4684
      Include JATS specific files for
4685
        1) Windows
4686
        2) Linux
4687
 
4688
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4689
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4690
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4691
      machines.
4692
 
4693
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4694
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4695
 
4696
    * JATS Environment
4697
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4698
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4699
 
4700
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4701
      wrapper scripts.
4702
 
4703
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4704
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4705
      Spell check help and code.

4729
      options are passed correctly.
4730
 
4731
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4732
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4733
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4734
      was added.
4735
 
4736
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4737
      reviewing a new package.
4738
 
4739
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4740
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4741
      automatically included in the source file list.
4742
 
253 dpurdie 4743

4757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4758
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4759
  * New toolset and platform
4760
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4761
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4762
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4763
    this platform.
4764
 
4765
Minor changes:
4766
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4767
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4768
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4769
    work.
4770
 
4771
  * Jats utility: release
4772
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4773
    published to dpkg_archive.
4774
 
249 dpurdie 4775
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4776
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4777
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4778
    supported for ANT builds.
4779
 
4780
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4781
        releasemanager.releasename
4782
        releasemanager.projectname
4783
 
4784
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4785
    tagged data item of the form
4786
 
4787
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4788
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4789
 
4790
  * Mug File Generation
4791
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4792
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4793
 
4794
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4795
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4796
    required.
4797
 
4798
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4799
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4800
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4801
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4802
    the files in order to use them.
4803
 
4804
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4805
    locate the file.
4806
 
4807
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4808
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4809
 
4810
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4811
        * CSharp
4812
        * Properties
4813
        * WinRC
4814
 
4815
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4816
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4817
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4818
    Value is correctly assigned.
4819

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4823
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4824
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4825
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4826
 
4827
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4828
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4829
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4830
 
4831
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4832
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4833
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4834
 
4835
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4836
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4837
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4838
 
4839
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4840
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4841
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4842
    correct.
4843
 
4844
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4845
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4846
 
4847
Minor changes:
4848
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4849
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4850
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4851
 
4852
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4853
    This will simplify new user setup.
4854
 
4855
  * All Unix Toolsets
4856
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4857
    on unix systems
4858
 
4859
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4860
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4861
    on some Solaris Machines.
4862
 
4863
  * JATS -version=<version>
4864
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4865
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4866

237 dpurdie 4905
Minor changes:
241 dpurdie 4906
  * JATS makefiles
4907
    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
4908
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4909
 
4910
  * JATS builds
4911
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4912
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4913
    mode.

4915
  * JATS makefiles
4916
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4917
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4918
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4919
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4920
                            SetList directive.
4921
 
4922

4934
    of JATS.
4935
 
4936
  * JATS save_build utility
4937

    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
4944
 
4945
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
4946
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
4947
 
4948

    * Escrow tool
4956
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
4957
      description.

5023
    * MOS Compiler
5024
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the

      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5026
 
5027
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5028
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5029

5066
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5067
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5068
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5069
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5070
 
5071
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5072
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5073
 
5074
    * Jats wrapper
5075
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5076
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5077
 
5078

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5081
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5082
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5083
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5084
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5085
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5086
 
5087
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5088
 
5089
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5090
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5091
 
5092
    * Running Jats
5093
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5094
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5095
      This may affect some windows developers.
5096
 
5097
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5098
      Future versions will generate an error.
5099
 
5100
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5101
 
5102
Minor changes:
5103
    * Perl Version Check
5104
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5105
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5106
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5107
 
5108
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5109
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5110
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5111
      build.
5112
 
5113
    * Jats Internals
5114
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5115
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5116
 
5117
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5118
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5119
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5120
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5121
      process.
5122
 
5123
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5124
      Only works under Windows.
5125
 
5126
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5127
 
5128
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5129
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5130
 
5131
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5132
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5133
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5134
 
5135
    * Jats eprog
5136
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5137
      directory.
5138
 
5139
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5140
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5141
      build metrics.
5142
 
5143

5146
Major changes:
5147
 
5148
Minor changes:
5149
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5150
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5151
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5152
      automated build system. New options are:
5153
        -pname=Package_Name
5154
        -pversion=Package_Version
5155
 
5156
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5157
      transferring the package. New options are:
5158
        -test
5159
 
5160
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5161
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5162
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5163
 
5164
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5165
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5166
 
5167
    * Solaris Toolset
5168
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5169
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5170
      programs are still supported.
5171

5173
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
5174
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5175
Major changes:
5176
 
5177
Minor changes:
5178
    * WINCE toolsets
5179
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5180
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5181
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5182
      when header files cannot be found.
5183
 
5184
    * GenerateFiles directive
5185
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5186
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5187
      that are difficult to solve.
5188
 
5189
    * MakePerlModule directive
5190
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5191
      to the the module builder.
5192
 
5193
    * Jats Tool: label
5194
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5195
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5196
      -dirs=xxx options.
5197
 
5198
    * Jats Tool: release
5199
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5200
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5201
 
5202
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5203
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5204
 
5205
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5206
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5207
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5208
 
5209
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5228
 
5229
    * make clean up
5230
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5231
 
5232
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5233
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5234
      minor file transformations such as:
5235
        Copy, with optional rename
5236
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5237
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5238
 
5239
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5240
 
5241
    * jats release utility
5242
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5243
      in place.
5244
 
5245
    * escrow utility
5246
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5247

5254
Minor changes:
5255
    * Makefile generation
5256
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5257
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5258
      generate phase early.
5259
 
5260

      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5268
 
5269
    * Makefile generation
5270
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5271
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5272
 
5273
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5274
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5275
 
5276
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5277
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5278
      branch. The locks will be removed.

    * jats_rewrite utility
5281
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5282
 
5283
    * jats escrow utility
5284
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5285
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5286
 
5287
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5288
      inconsistent packages.
5289
 
5290
    * jats make help
5291
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5292
      available within the current build.
5293
 
5294
    * jats makefiles
5295
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5296
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5297
 
5298
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5299
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5300
 
5301
    * gcc toolset
5302
      SharedLibries.
5303
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5304
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5305
 
5306
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5307
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5308
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5309
 
5310
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5311
        New options:
5312
            --MultiScan
5313
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5314
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5315
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Major changes:
5322
 
5323
Minor changes:
5324
    PackageLib directive
5325
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5326
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5327
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5328
 
5329
    MakefileGenerate directive
5330
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5331
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5332
 
5333
    Multiple Parent detection
5334
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5335
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5336
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5337
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5338
 
5339
    Solaris Toolset
5340
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5341
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5342
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5343
    link.
5344
 
5345
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5346
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5347
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5348
 
5349
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5350
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5351
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5352
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
5356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5357
Major changes:
5358
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5359
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5360
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5361
 
5362
    Summary of changes:
5363
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5364
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5365
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5366
          flexibility.
5367
 
5368
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5369
 
5370
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5371
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5372
          interface directory and associated build information.
5373
 
5374
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5375
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5376
          than one second.
5377
 
5378
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5379
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5380
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5381
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5382
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5383
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5384
 
5385
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5386
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5387
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5388
 
5389
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5390
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5391
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5392
          building them.
5393
 
5394
        - Detection of build file changes
5395
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5396
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5397
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5398
 
5399
        - Quieter make output
5400
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5401
 
5402
 
5403
Minor changes:
5404
    MakeAnt Directive
5405
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5406
 
5407
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5408
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5409
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5410
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5411
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5412
 
5413
    CSHARP toolset
5414
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5415

5422
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5423
    are generated.
5424
 
5425
    MakeAnt
5426
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5427
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5428
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5429
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5430
 
5431
    MCR platform
5432
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

5440
Minor changes:
5441
    MakeAnt directive extended
5442
    New option: --PackageBase
5443
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5444
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5445
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5446
 
5447
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5448
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5449
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5450
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5470
 
5471
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5472
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5473
 
5474
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5475
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5476
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5477
 
5478
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5479
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5480
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5481
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

Minor changes:
5509
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5510
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5511
 
5512
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5513
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5514
      last.
5515
 
5516
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5517
 
5518
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5519
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5520
 
5521
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5522
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5523
 
5524
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5525
 
5526
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5527
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5528
 
5529
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5530
 
5531
 
5532
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5533
           with the --System option
5534
 
5535
    * LMOS target platform

    * Solaris Toolset
5545
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5546
      dependent packages.
5547
 
5548
    * RunTest operation
5549
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5550
 
5551

5556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5557
Major changes:
5558
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5559
 
5560
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5561
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5562
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5563
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5564
      path.
5565
 
5566
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5567
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5568
      reproducible.
5569
 
5570
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5571
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5572
 
5573
      There are several aspects to the change
5574
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5575
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5576
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5577
 
5578
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5579
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5580
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5581
          controlled separately.
5582
 
5583
Minor changes:
5584
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5585
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5586
        Remove duplicates
5587
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5588

5592
Major changes:
5593
 
5594
Minor changes:
5595
    * Makefile sanity test
5596
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5597
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5598
 
5599
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5600
      x86 machine.
5601
 
5602
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5603
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5604

5607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5608
Major changes:
5609
    * RunTest directive
5610
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5611
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5612
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5613
 
5614
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5615
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5616
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5617
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5618
 
5619
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5620
        builder within the current toolset.
5621
 
5622
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5623
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5624
 
5625
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5626
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5627
      containing the RunTest directive.
5628
 
5629
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5630
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5631
 
5632
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5633
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5634
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5635
 
5636
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5637
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5638
                            P or D suffix.
5639
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5640
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5641
 
5642
Minor changes:
5643
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5644
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5645
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5646
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5647
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5648
 
5649
    * Save Build Utility
5650
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5651
      used in a ripple build.
5652
 
5653
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5654
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5655
 
5656
    * Release Utility
5657
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5658
      when an error is encountered.
5659
 
5660
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5661
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5662
 
5663
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5664
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5665
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5666
 
5667
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5668
      before the makefiles are created.
5669
 
5670
    * TestProg directive
5671
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5672
 
5673
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5674
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5675
 
5676

5682
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5683
 
5684
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5685
            DEVLINUX
5686
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5687
 
5688
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5689
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5690
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5691
 
5692
Minor changes:
5693

    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5697
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5698
 
5699
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5700
      and .cs files.
5701
 
5702
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5703
      thing.
5704
 
5705
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5706
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5707
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5708
      were it places temp files.
5709
 
5710
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5711
      interaction with other builds.
5712
 
5713
    * Release utility command
5714
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5715
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5716
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5734
 
5735
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5736
    as a Script.

5764
Major changes:
5765
 
5766
Minor changes:
5767
  * WINCE Support
5768
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5769
 
5770
  * Removed the following targets
5771
        TP5600
5772
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5773
        TP5600_EMU
5774
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5775
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5776
 
5777
  * Deployment
5778
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5779
 
5780
  * build.pl
5781
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5782
 
5783
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5784
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5785
 
5786
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5787
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5788
    build.
5789
 
5790
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5791
 
5792
  * Tool: escrow
5793
     New features
5794
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5795
     are not in the SBOM.
5796
 
5797
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5798
 
5799
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5803
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5805
Major changes:
5806
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5807
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5808
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5809
 
5810
  * GenerateFiles
5811
    Added the options:
5812
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5813
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5814
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5815
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5816
 
5817
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5818
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5819
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5820
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5821
                                  required.
5822
 
5823
 
5824
Minor changes:
5825
  * GenerateFile directive
5826
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5827
 
5828
  * GCC Toolset
5829
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5830
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5831
    be rebuilt.
5832
 
5833
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5834
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5835
 
5836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5837
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5839
Major changes:
5840
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5841
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5842
    environment variables.
5843
 
5844
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5845
            moved.
5846
 
5847
    This will affect users that:
5848
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5849
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5850
 
5851
        2) Use the ABT system
5852
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5853
           the required configuration
5854
 
5855
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5856
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5857
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5858
    Windows
5859
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5860
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5861
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5862
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5863
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5864
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5865
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5866
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5867
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5868
 
5869
 
5870
  * New build platforms
5871
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5872
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5873
 
5874
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5875
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5876
 
5877
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5878
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5879
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5880
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5881
 
5882
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5883
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5884
    release.
5885
 
5886
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5887
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5888
 
5889
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5890
    need to be converted.
5891
 
5892
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5893
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5894
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5895
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5896
    used for different targets platforms.
5897
 
5898
  * Sandbox support
5899
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5900
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5901
 
5902
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5903
 
5904
Minor changes:
5905
 
5906
 
5907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5908
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5910
Major changes:
5911
  * MakeAnt directive
5912
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5913
 
5914
    New options
5915
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5916
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5917
 
5918
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5919
    run_unit_tests phase.
5920
 
5921
  * Sandbox support
5922
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5923
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5924
 
5925
Minor changes:
5926
  * jats build
5927
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5928
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5929
 
5930
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5931
 
5932
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5933
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5934
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5935
 
5936
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5937
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5938
 
5939
  * JATS.BAT
5940
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5941
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5942
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5943
 
5944
  * jats label
5945
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5946
 
5947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5948
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5950
Major changes:
5951
  * New build platform:
5952
        LMOS_TP5600
5953
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5954
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5955
 
5956
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5957
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5958
    describe the group of platforms.
5959
 
5960
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5961
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5962
    build these targets.
5963
 
5964
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5965
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5966
 
5967
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5968
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5969
 
5970
  * New build platform: WINCE
5971
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5972
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5973
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
5974
 
5975
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
5976
            WCEIT3000
5977
            WCEPA961
5978
            WCEPA962
5979
            WCEPCM7220
5980
            WCEPSION_420
5981
            WCEPSPC_arm
5982
            WCEPSPC_emu
5983
            WCEX86A420
5984
            WCEX86A500
5985
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
5986
 
5987
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
5988
 
5989
 *  JATS makefile.pl
5990
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
5991
    that contain packaging directives.
5992
 
5993
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
5994
    very unusual configurations.
5995
 
5996
Minor changes:
5997
  * Directive: PackageFile
5998
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
5999
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6000
    an '='.
6001
 
6002
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6003
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6004
 
6005
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6006
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6007
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6008
 
6009
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6010
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6011
 
6012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6013
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6015
Major changes:
6016
 
6017
  * JATS release command
6018
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6019
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6020
 
6021
    Rules are:
6022
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6023
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6024
                            File will be placed on a branch
6025
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6026
                            New directory will branch
6027
 
6028
Minor changes:
6029
  * JATS release command
6030
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6031
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6032
 
6033
  * JATS label command
6034
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6035
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6036
 
6037
  * JATS make
6038
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6039
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6040
    was re-packaged.
6041
 
6042
  * JATS escrow
6043
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6044
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6045
 
6046
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6047
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6048
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6049
 
6050
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6051
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6052
    interface directory.
6053
 
6054
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6055
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6056
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6057
    directory as seen by the package.
6058
 
6059
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6060
 
6061
  * JAVA 6
6062
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6063
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6064
 
6065
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6066
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6067
 
6068
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6069
 
6070
  * Jats command: vars
6071
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6072
    These indicate potential problems.
6073
 
6074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6075
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6077
Major changes:
6078
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6079
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6080
    libarry is also created.
6081
 
6082
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6083
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6084
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6085
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6086
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6087
    information contained within the file.
6088
 
6089
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6090
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6091
 
6092
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6093
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6094
 
6095
  * Building Perl Modules
6096
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6097
    documentation on the build machine.
6098
 
6099
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6100
 
6101
Minor changes:
6102
  * jats create_dpkg
6103
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6104
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6105
 
6106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6107
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6109
Major changes:
6110
  * JATS JAVA build target
6111
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6112
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6113
 
6114
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6115
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6116
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6117
    is then picked up as the default version.
6118
 
6119
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6120
    build.pl file.
6121
 
6122
Minor changes:
6123
  * jats release
6124
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6125
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6126
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6127
 
6128
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6129
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6130
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6131
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6132
    the name of the view.
6133
 
6134
  * GenerateFiles directive
6135
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6136
 
6137
  * MOS Toolset
6138
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6139
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6140
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6141
 
6142
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6143
 
6144
 
6145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6146
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6147
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6148
Major changes:
6149
 
6150
Minor changes:
6151
  * JATS environment
6152
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6153
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6154
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6155
 
6156
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6157
 
6158
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6159
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6160
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6161
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6162
    to be packaged.
6163
 
6164
  * Generated makefiles
6165
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6166
 
6167
  * Generating MOS THX files
6168
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6169
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6170
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6171
 
6172
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6173
 
6174
  * JATS release
6175
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6176
 
6177
  * JATS extract
6178
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6179
 
6180
  * JATS Toolset
6181
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6182
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6183
 
6184
 
6185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6186
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6187
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6188
Major changes:
6189
 
6190
Minor changes:
6191
  * jats label
6192
    Added a -vob=name option
6193
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6194
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6195
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6196
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6197
 
6198
    Added a -user=name option
6199
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6200
    label to the named user.
6201
 
6202
  * jats release
6203
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6204
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6205
 
6206
  * JATS build.pl
6207
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6208
    ie:
6209
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6210
 
6211
 
6212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6213
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6215
Major changes:
6216
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6217
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6218
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6219
    the makefile internals. ie:
6220
        --Var(BuildName)
6221
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6222
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6223
 
6224
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6225
 
6226
  * GenerateFiles
6227
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6228
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6229
 
6230
  * BuildPlatforms
6231
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6232
 
6233
Minor changes:
6234
  * GCC Toolset
6235
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6236
 
6237
Internal changes:
6238
  * GenerateFiles
6239
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6240
 
6241
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6242
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6243
 
6244
 
6245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6246
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6247
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6248
Major changes:
6249
  * Caching JATS
6250
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6251
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6252
 
6253
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6254
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6255
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6256
 
6257
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6258
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6259
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6260
 
6261
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6262
 
6263
Minor changes:
6264
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6265
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6266
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6267
 
6268
  * jats build
6269
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6270
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6271
    processed by the build.
6272
 
6273
  * jats build
6274
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6275
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6276
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6277
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6278
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6279
 
6280
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6281
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6282
    Path is not specified.
6283
 
6284
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6285
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6286
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6287
        --Dir=$Pinc
6288
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6289
 
6290
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6291
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6292
    Windows platform.
6293
 
6294
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6295
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6296
            by 'purecov.
6297
 
6298
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6299
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6300
 
6301
        - OPTIONS=purify
6302
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6303
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6304
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6305

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6310
Major changes:
6311
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6312
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6313
    Example:
6314
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6315
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6316
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6317
 
6318
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6319
    been determined.
6320
 
6321
Minor changes:
6322
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6323
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6324
    located at build-time.
6325
 
6326
  * Unix based systems
6327
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6328
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6329
 
6330
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6331
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6332
    driver being built.
6333
 
6334
 
6335

6340
 
6341
Minor changes:
6342
  * jats_rewrite tool
6343
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6344
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6345
 
6346
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6347
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6348
 
6349
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6350
    dependancy information within a package.
6351
 
6352
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6353
    messages.
6354
 
6355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6356
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6358

6359
  * makefile.pl directives
6360
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6361
 
6362
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6363
 
6364
    GenerateFiles.
6365
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6366
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6367
                      be run on every invocation.
6368
 
6369
 
6370
Minor changes:
6371
  * Added the jats version command
6372
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6373
 
6374
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6375
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6376
  There are two mechanism:
6377
 
6378
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6379
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6380
 
6381
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6382
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6383
 
6384
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6385
  default.
6386
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6387
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6388

6391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6392
Major changes:
6393
  * SunWorks Toolset
6394
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6395
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6396
    It is based on machine type.
6397
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6398
 
6399
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6400
 
6401
Minor changes:
6402
  * Perl DBI interface
6403
    Removed the message showing database connection
6404
 
6405
  * JATS internal library
6406
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6407
 
6408

6410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6411
Major changes:
6412
  * GCC Toolset
6413
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6414
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6415
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6416
 
6417
  * Added platforms
6418
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6419
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6420
    TP5600_EMU
6421
 
6422
Minor changes:
6423
  * descpkg file reader
6424
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6425
    field separator.
6426
 
6427
  * JATS eprog command
6428
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6429
 
6430
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6431
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6432
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6433
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6434
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6435
 
6436
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6437
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6438
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6439
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6440
 
6441
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6442
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6452
 
6453
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6454
 
6455
 
6456
Minor changes:
6457
  * JATS wrapper script
6458
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6459
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6460
    to setup links to system programs.
6461

  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6503
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6504
    Theses are:
6505
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6506
        SOLARIS_AMD
6507
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6508
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6509
 
6510
Minor changes:
6511
  * AT3232 toolset
6512
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6513
 
6514
  * Jats build
6515
    Altered the programs help mechanism to use perl POD.
6516
    Extended the builtin help text.

Version: JATS_2.56.3                                Released: 04-Sep-06
6520
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6521
Major changes:
6522
 
6523
Minor changes:
6524
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6525
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6526
    messages
6527
 
6528
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6529
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6530
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6531
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6532
 
6533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6534
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6535
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6536
Major changes:
6537
 
6538
Minor changes:
6539
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6540
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6541
    library without creating the body of the library:
6542
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6543
 
6544
 
6545
  * MOS toolsets
6546
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6547
    library without creating the body of the library:
6548
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6549
 
6550
  * JATS BIN directories
6551
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6552
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6553
    using autoconf.
6554
 
6555
  * Generate directive
6556
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6557
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6558
 
6559
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6560
 
6561
 
6562
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6563
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6564
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6565
Major changes:
6566
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6567
    Initial release.
6568
 
6569
Minor changes:
6570
 
6571
 
6572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6573
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6575
Major changes:
6576
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6577
    Initial release.
6578
 
6579
  * Packaging directives
6580
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6581
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6582
 
6583
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6584
        SOLARIS
6585
        WIN32
6586
 
6587
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6588
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6589
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6590
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6591
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6592
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6593
 
6594
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6595
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6596
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6597
 
6598
 
6599
Minor changes:
6600
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6601
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6602
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6603
 
6604
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6605
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6606
    location
6607
 
6608
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6609
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6610
 
6611
  * Utility genrc
6612
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6613
 
6614
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6615
    Added option: -new
6616
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6617
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6618
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6619
 
6620
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6621
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6622
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6623
 
6624
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6625
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6626
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6627
 
6628
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6629
   features - in a uniform manner.
6630
 
6631
 
6632
Internal Changes:
6633
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6634
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6635
 
6636
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6637
        1) Platform information available at build time
6638
        2) Dynamic platform names
6639
 
6640
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6641
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6642
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6643
 
6644
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6645
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6646
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6647
 
6648
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6649
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6650
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6651
    needed.
6652
 
6653
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6654
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6655
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6656
    files from all of these.
6657

6659
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6661
Major changes:
6662
 
6663
Minor changes:
6664
  * WinCE toolset
6665
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6666
 
6667
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6668
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6670
Major changes:
6671
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6672
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6673
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6674
 
6675
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6676
 
6677
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6678
    the operations.
6679
 
6680
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6681
 
6682
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6683
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6684
 
6685
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6686
 
6687
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6688
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6689
 
6690
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6691
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6692
    Extended the built-in help
6693
    Added useful error messages
6694
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6695
 
6696
  * WinCE toolset
6697
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6698
 
6699
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6700
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6701
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6702
 
6703
Minor changes:
6704
  * JATS wrapper script
6705
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6706
    the command line.
6707
 
6708
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6709
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6710
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6711
 
6712
Internal Changes:
6713
  * Common Error Reporting
6714
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6715
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6716
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6717
    level.
6718
 
6719
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6720
    displayed.
6721
 
6722
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6723
 
6724
  * Added JatsSystem module
6725
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6727
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6729
Major changes:
6730
 
6731
Minor changes:
6732
  * BR Compiler toolset
6733
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6734
    .def files to include other files.
6735
 
6736
  * IAR toolset
6737
    Added AT7272 support
6738
 
6739
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6740
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6741
 
6742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6743
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6744
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6745
Major changes:
6746
 
6747
Minor changes:
6748
  * BR Compiler toolset
6749
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6750
    use.
6751
 
6752
 
6753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6754
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6755
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6756
Major changes:
6757
 
6758
Minor changes:
6759
  * Mictotec toolset
6760
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6761
    builds.
6762
 
6763
  * JATS Core
6764
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6765
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6766
    behaviour.
6767
 
6768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6769
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6771
Major changes:
6772
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6773
    Deployment package will be affected.
6774
 
6775
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6776
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6777
 
6778
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6779
 
6780
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6781
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6782
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6783
    packages.
6784
 
6785
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6786
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6787
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6788
 
6789
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6790
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6791
 
6792
Minor changes:
6793
  * SubDir directive
6794
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6795
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6796
 
6797
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6798
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6799
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6800
    of the file usage.
6801
 
6802
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6803
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6804
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6805
 
6806
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6807
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6808
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6809
 
6810
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6811
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6812
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6813
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6814
 
6815
 
6816
Internal Changes:
6817
  * Code refactor
6818
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6819
 
6820
  * Deployment utilities
6821
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6822
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6823
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6824
    the module can locate the file.
6825
 
6826
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6827
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6828
 
6829
  * JATS core
6830
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6831
 
6832
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6833
 
6834
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6835
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6836
    through the use of environment variables.
6837
 
6838
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6839
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6840
 
6841
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6842
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6843
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6844
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6845
 
6846
  * Make environment
6847
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6848
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6849
 
6850
 
6851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6852
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6854
Major changes:
6855
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6856
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6857
 
6858
 
6859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6860
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6861
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6862
 
6863
Not Released.
6864
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6865
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6866
 
6867
 
6868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6869
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6871
Major changes:
6872
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6873
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6874
    radically replaced.
6875
 
6876
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6877
    Usage:
6878
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6879
 
6880
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6881
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6882
    this solution:
6883
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6884
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6885
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6886
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6887
 
6888
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6889
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6890
    order to work.
6891
 
6892
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6893
    reduced functionality.
6894
 
6895
 
6896
Minor changes:
6897
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6898
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6899
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6900
 
6901
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6902
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6903
    within the makefiles.
6904
        Options:
6905
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6906
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6907
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6908
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6909
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6910
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6911
        Useage:
6912
 
6913
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6914
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6915
 
6916
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6917
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6918
    is not in the current directory.
6919
 
6920
  * Jats Command: ant'
6921
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6922
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6923
 
6924
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6925
 
6926
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6927
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6928
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6929
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6930
 
6931
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6932
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6933
    Thus
6934
 
6935
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6936
 
6937
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6938

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6943
Major changes:
6944
 
6945
Minor changes:
6946
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6947
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6948
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6949
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6950
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6951
 
6952
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6953
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6954
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6955
 
6956
Internal changes:
6957
  * JATS toolsets
6958
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6959
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6960
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6961
 
6962
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6963
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6964
 
6965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6966
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6968
Major changes:
6969
  * Jats command: etool
6970
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6971
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6972
 
6973
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6974
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6975
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6976
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6977
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6978
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6979
 
6980
Minor changes:
6981
 
6982
 
6983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6984
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6986
Major changes:
6987
  * JATS environment variables
6988
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6989
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6990
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
6991
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
6992
        will not publish packages in this repository.
6993
 
6994
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
6995
              Remote repository
6996
 
6997
    Added GBE_DPLY
6998
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
6999
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7000
 
7001
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7002
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7003
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7004
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7005
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7006
 
7007
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7008
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7009
 
7010
 
7011
Minor changes:
7012
  * JATS utility: build
7013
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7014
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7015
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7016
 
7017
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7018
    Ensure label is not locked
7019
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7020
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7021
 
7022
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7023
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7024
    to a specific type of build.
7025
 
7026
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7027
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7028
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7029
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7030
 
7031
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7032
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7033
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7034
 
7035
  * JATS utility: release
7036
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7037
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7038
 
7039
  * JATS utility: label
7040
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7041
    when it is being created.
7042
 
7043
Internal Changes
7044
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7045
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7046
 
7047
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7048
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7049
 
7050
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7051
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7052
    different results.
7053
 
7054
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7055
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7056
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7057
 
7058
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7059
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7060
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7061
Major changes:
7062
 
7063
  * MCR toolset
7064
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7065
 
7066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7067
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7069
Major changes:
7070
  * WIN32 utilities
7071
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7072
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7073
 
7074
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7075
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7076
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7077
 
7078
Minor changes:
7079
  * BuildVersion
7080
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7081
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7082
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7083
 
7084
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7085
 
7086
  * Unix Builds
7087
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7088
    library or a shared library.
7089
 
7090
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7091
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7092
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7093
    start with 'lib'.
7094
 
7095
  * BuildPkgArchive
7096
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7097
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7098
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7099
 
7100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7101
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7103
Major changes:
7104
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7105
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7106
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7107
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7108
    being manually maintained.
7109
 
7110
 
7111
Minor changes:
7112
  * MakeAnt directive
7113
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7114
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7115
    supports ANT builds.
7116
 
7117
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7118
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7119
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7120
 
7121
  * Label utility
7122
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7123
    files to be labeled.
7124
 
7125
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7126
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7127
    on Solaris.
7128
 
7129
  * Generated makefiles
7130
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7131
    nothing.
7132
 
7133
  * MOS Toolset
7134
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7135
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7136
    modules.
7137
 
7138
  * Utility: gen_cots
7139
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7140
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7141
 
7142
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7143
 
7144
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7145
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7146
 
7147
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7148
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7150
Major changes:
7151
  None
7152
 
7153
Minor changes:
7154
  * DEVI addressed
7155
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7156
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7157
 
7158
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7159
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7160
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7161
 
7162
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7163
 
7164
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7165
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7166
 
7167
  * RunTest directive
7168
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7169
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7170
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7171
 
7172
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7173
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7174
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7175
    packaged under JATS
7176
 
7177
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7178
          supported within JATS.
7179
 
7180
  * Jats utility wrapper
7181
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7182
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7183
 
7184
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7185
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7186
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7187
 
7188
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7189
    Eg: jats ant
7190
 
7191
  * Jats utility wrapper
7192
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7193
 
5710 dpurdie 7194
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7195
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7196
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7197
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7198
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7199
 
5710 dpurdie 7200
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7201
    expect a build.pl file.
7202
 
7203
  * Jats utility wrapper
7204
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7205
 
7206
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7207
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7208
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7209
 
7210
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7211
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7212
 
7213
  * Build files
7214
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7215
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7216

7218
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7219
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7220
Major changes:
7221
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7222
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7223
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7224
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7225
 
7226
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7227
 
7228
Minor changes:
7229
  * None
7230
 
7231
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7232
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7234
Major changes:
7235
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7236
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7237
    ie:
7238
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7239
 
7240
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7241
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7242
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7243
    environments are compatible.
7244
 
7245
 
7246
Minor changes:
7247
  * BuildName option
7248
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7249
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7250
 
7251
  * jats.bat
7252
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7253
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7254
 
7255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7256
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7258
Major changes:
7259
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7260
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7261
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7262
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7263
 
7264
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7265
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7266
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7267
 
7268
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7269
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7270
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7271
 
7272
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7273
    transferred.
7274
 
7275
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7276
    See notes below.
7277
 
7278
  * WIN32 toolset
7279
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7280
    correctly.
7281
 
7282
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7283
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7284
 
7285
  * BuildVersion
7286
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7287
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7288
    other langauges as needed.
7289
 
7290
 
7291
Minor changes:
7292
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7293
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7294
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7295
    version strings.
7296
 
7297
  * GenerateFiles directive
7298
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7299
    package or an imported package.
7300
 
7301
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7302
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7303
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7304
 
7305
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7306
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7307
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7308
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7309
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7310
 
7311
Internal Changes
7312
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7313
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7314
    of utilities.
7315
 
7316
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7317
    functions.
7318
 
7319
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7320
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7322
Major changes:
7323
  * Generated makefiles
7324
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7325
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7326
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7327
 
7328
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7329
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7330
    incorrectly processing:
7331
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7332
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7333
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7334
    confused.
7335
 
7336
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7337
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7338
    The construct
7339
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7340
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7341
    then it works.
7342
 
7343
  * MakeAnt directive
7344
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7345
 
7346
    This option has the following effects
7347
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7348
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7349
 
7350
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7351
           early - in the generated files phase.
7352
 
7353
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7354
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7355
 
7356
 
7357
Minor changes:
7358
  * JATS post-installation script
7359
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7360
 
7361
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7362
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7363
    windows.
7364
 
7365
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7366
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7367
 
7368
  * Jats wrapper script
7369
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7370
        1) Contain spaces
7371
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7372
 
7373
  * Toolset
7374
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7375
 
7376
  * JAVA toolset
7377
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7378
    directive:
7379
 
7380
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7381
 
7382
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7383
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7384
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7385
 
7386
  * GCC Toolset
7387
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7388
 
7389
  * Makefile generation
7390
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7391
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7392
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7393
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7394
    package could not be used.
7395
 
7396
  * Unit Tests
7397
    The following environment variables are set:
7398
 
7399
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7400
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7401
 
7402
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7403
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7404
 
7405
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7406
 
7407
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7408
 
7409
 
7410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7411
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7413
Major changes:
7414
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7415
 
7416
    Special features of this toolset.
7417
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7418
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7419
       incorporated within the target image.
7420
 
7421
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7422
       --Set=Name=Value
7423
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7424
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7425
 
7426
       --Ref=name
7427
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7428
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7429
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7430
                will be taken from the build version number.
7431
 
7432
Minor changes:
7433
  * MOS Toolset
7434
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7435
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7436
    packaged.
7437
 
7438
  * Src directive
7439
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7440
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7441
    specifier.
7442
 
7443
  * WIN32 runtime support
7444
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7445
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7446
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7447
 
7448
Internal:
7449
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7450
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7451
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7452
 
7453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7454
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7456
Major changes:
7457
    * BuildAlias directive
7458
      Added options.
7459
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7460
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7461
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7462
                          targets.
7463
      Eg:
7464
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7465
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7466
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7467
 
7468
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7469
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7470
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7471
 
7472
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7473
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7474
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7475
 
7476
 
7477
Minor changes:
7478
  * Label utility
7479
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7480
    build.pl file
7481
 
7482
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7483
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7484
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7485
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7486
    --FilterIn option.
7487
 
7488
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7489
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7490
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7491
 
7492
  * Location of descpkg file
7493
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7494
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7495
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7496
 
7497
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7498
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7499
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7500
Major changes:
7501
  * RunTest directive
7502
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7503
    Additional options
7504
      --CopyIn=file
7505
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7506
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7507
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7508
        the test area.
7509
 
7510
    Additional operations
7511
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7512
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7513
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7514
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7515
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7516
    Allows flags:
7517
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7518
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7519
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7520
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7521
 
7522
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7523
    existence is tested.
7524
 
7525
  * Packaging Directives
7526
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7527
    such as LMOS.
7528
 
7529
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7530
 
7531
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7532
 
7533
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7534
 
7535
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7536
 
7537
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7538
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7539
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7540
 
7541
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7542
 
7543
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7544
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7545
 
7546
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7547
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7548
 
7549
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7550
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7551
 
7552
Minor changes:
7553
  * Script directive
7554
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7555
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7556
 
7557
  * JATS environment
7558
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7559
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7560
    the JATS wrapper script.
7561
 
7562
  * Label utility
7563
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7564
    There are three modes of operation:
7565
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7566
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7567
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7568
 
7569
 
7570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7571
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7573
Major changes:
7574
 
7575
Minor changes:
7576
  * label utility
7577
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7578
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7579
 
7580
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7581
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7582
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7583
      --ProgLoader=name
7584
 
7585
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7586
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7587
    Options to do this are:
7588
        --TreeDir=name
7589
        --FilterOut=regexp
7590
        --FilterIn=regexp
7591
        --StripDir
7592
 
7593
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7594
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7595
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7596
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7597
 
7598
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7599
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7600
 
7601
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7602
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7603
 
7604
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7605
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7606
 
7607
 
7608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7609
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7611
Major changes:
7612
    * Make commands
7613
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7614
 
7615
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7616
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7617
 
7618
    * Label utility
7619
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7620
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7621
 
7622
Minor changes:
7623
    * Toolsets
7624
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7625
      variables and overrides.
7626
 
7627
      The make_init target is always run.
7628
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7629
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7630
 
7631
    * Deployment
7632
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7633
      with deployment operations.
7634
 
7635
    * Release utility
7636
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7637
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7638
      restricted by options within the build.
7639
 
7640
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7641
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7642
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7643
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7644
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7645
 
7646
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7647
      directives.
7648
 
7649
    * MakeProject directive
7650
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7651
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7652
 
7653
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7654
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7655
      is preserved.
7656
 
7657
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7658
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7659
      statements.
7660
 
7661
    * Mugfile generation
7662
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7663
      be placed in the target package.
7664
 
7665
 
7666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7667
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7669
Major changes:
7670
    * BuildVersion directive
7671
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7672
      number as well as a patch number.
7673
 
7674
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7675
      number.
7676
 
7677
Minor changes:
7678
    * AddFlags directives
7679
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7680
      duplicate flags being added.
7681
 
7682
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7683
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7684
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7685
 
7686
    * Mug File Generation
7687
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7688
 
7689
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7690
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7691
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7692
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7693
     directory.
7694
 
7695
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7696
     reproducible.
7697
 
7698
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7699
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7700
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7701
Major changes:
7702
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7703
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7704
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7705
      longer a list of directories.
7706
 
7707
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7708
      done within the toolset.
7709
 
7710
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7711
 
7712
    * JATS environment variables
7713
      Redefined variable
7714
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7715
                          Previously was a list that included the
7716
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7717
 
7718
      New variable
7719
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7720
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7721
 
7722
 
7723
Minor changes:
7724
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7725
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7726
      target platforms to be extracted.
7727
 
7728
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7729
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7730
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7731
 
7732
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7733
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7734
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7735
 
7736
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7737
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7738
 
7739
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7740
      Support ANT based XML files
7741
 
7742
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7743
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7744
      structure.
7745
 
7746
    * makefile.pl's
7747
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7748
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7749
 
7750
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7751
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7752
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7753
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7754
 
7755
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7756
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7757
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7758
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7759
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7760
      -- Auto.
7761
 
7762
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7763
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7764
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7765
 
7766
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7767
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7768
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7769
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7770
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7771
 
7772
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7773
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7774
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7775
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7776
      installed on the machine.
7777
 
7778
    * WINCE Targets
7779
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7780
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7781
 
7782
 
7783

7785
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7787
Major changes:
7788
    * WIN32 platforms
7789
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7790
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7791
      and installed packages.
7792
 
7793
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7794
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7795
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7796
 
7797
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7798
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7799
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7800
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7801
      searched when looking for libraries.
7802
 
7803
Minor changes:
7804
    * GenerateFiles directive
7805
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7806
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7807
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7808
                          and drive letter
7809
 
7810
    * Src directive
7811
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7812
      directory of a package.
7813
 
7814
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7815
 
7816
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7817
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7818
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7819
 
7820
    * jats_rewrite utility
7821
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7822
 
7823
 
7824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7825
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7827
Major changes:
7828
    * SunWorks production builds
7829
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7830
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7831
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7832
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7833
      compiler documentation.
7834
 
7835
    * MOS Toolset
7836
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7837
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7838
 
7839
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7840
 
7841
Minor changes:
7842
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7843
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7844
      This should not affect current users.
7845
 
7846
    * Mugfile generation
7847
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7848
      specified.
7849
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7850
 
7851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7852
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7854
Major changes:
7855
    MOS Toolset
7856
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7857
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7858
 
7859
Minor changes:
7860
    * Jats wrapper script
7861
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7862
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7863
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7864
 
7865
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7866
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7867
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7868
      may be suspect.
7869
 
7870
    * GenerateFiles directive
7871
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7872
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7873
 
7874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7875
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7877
Major changes:
7878
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7879
      build.xml files.
7880
 
7881
Minor changes:
7882
    * WIN32 toolset.
7883
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7884
 
7885
    * MakeAnt
7886
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7887
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7888
 
7889
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7890
 
7891
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7892
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7893
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7894
 
7895
    * MakeAnt directive
7896
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7897
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7898
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7899
 
7900
      Recommended usage:
7901
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7902
 
7903
Internal Changes
7904
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7905

7908
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7910
Major changes:
7911
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7912
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7913
      files packaged into the release.
7914
 
7915
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7916
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7919
 
7920
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7921
      The recommended platform is:
7922
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7923
 
7924
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7925
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7926
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7927
      components.
7928
 
7929
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
7930

7933
 
7934
Minor changes:
7935
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7936
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7937
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7938
      by the package to be accessed.
7939
 
7940
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7941
      application or visual studio.
7942
 
7943
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7944
      and the JATS Core path.
7945
 
7946
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7947
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7948
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7949
 
7950
    * MOS Toolset
7951
      Add support for the TPT device
7952
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7953
 
7954
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7955
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7956
 
7957
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7958
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7959
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7960
 
7961
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7962
 
7963
Internal Changes
7964
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7965
      in jats.pl
7966
 
7967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7968
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7970
Major changes:
7971
    * JATS wrapper script
7972
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7973
 
7974
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7975
 
7976
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7977
 
7978
Minor changes:
7979
    * Deployment support
7980
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7981
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7982
 
7983
    * 'build'
7984
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7985
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7986
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7987
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7988
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7989
 
7990
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
7991
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
7992
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
7993
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
7994
                                      the link phase.
7995
 
7996
    * BuildPkgArchive
7997
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
7998
      Previously these were ignored.
7999
      Minor code cleanup
8000
 
8001
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8002
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8003
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8004
 
8005
    * SOLARIS targets
8006
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8007
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8008
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8009
 
8010
    * MugFile generation
8011
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8012
      included in the final package.
8013
 
8014
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8015
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8016
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8017
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8018
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8019
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8020
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8021
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8022
 
8023
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8024
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8025
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8026
            --Option=(some_text)
8027
            --Option=[some_text]
8028
            --Option={some_text}
8029
 
8030
Internal Changes
8031
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8032
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8033
      code.
8034
 
8035

8036
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8038
Major changes:
8039
    * JATS wrapper script
8040
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8041
 
8042
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8043
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8044
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8045
      other components.
8046
 
8047
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8048
 
8049
    * JATS
8050
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8051
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8052
 
8053
    * Build operations
8054
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8055
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8056
      packages.
8057
 
8058
    * Make operations
8059
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8060
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8061
 
8062
Minor changes:
8063
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8064
      deployment builds.
8065
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8066
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8067
 
8068
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8069
 
8070
    * build.pl
8071
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8072
        processed. Allows
8073
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8074
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8075
        production.
8076
 
8077
    * MOS toolset
8078
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8079
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8080
 
8081
    * create_dpkg utility
8082
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8083
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8084
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8085
      progress of the build.
8086
 
8087
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8088
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8089
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8090
      system.
8091

8093
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8095
Major changes:
8096
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8097
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8098
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8099
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8100
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8101
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8102
 
8103
    * WCEX86A500 target
8104
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8105
 
8106
    * MOS Toolsets
8107
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8108
      the compiler.
8109
 
8110
    * RunTest directive
8111
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8112
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8113
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8114
 
8115
Minor changes:
8116
    * JATS BUILD
8117
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8118
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8119
      highlight bad settings.
8120
 
8121
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8122
      access to extensions.
8123

        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8141
 
8142
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8143
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8144
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8145
      Package directives.
8146
 
8147
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8148

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8279
Major changes:
8280
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8281
      This is a WINCE target
8282
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8283
 
8284
    * New toolset
8285
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8286
 
8287
    * Modified toolset
8288
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8289
 
8290
    * Modified toolset
8291
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8292
 
8293
Minor changes:
8294
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8295
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8296
 
8297
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8298
 
8299
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8300
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8301
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8302
 
8303
      The change allows the construct
8304
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8305
      to be replaced by the simpler
8306
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8307
 
8308
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8309
      specified name.

8315
Major changes:
8316
    * Dependancy generator
8317
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
8318
      to allow for 4096 included files.

8329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8330
Major changes:
8331
    * The "package.pl" file.
8332
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8333
      package name being taken from the build name
8334
 
8335
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8336
      package Build Name.
8337
 
8338
Minor changes:
8339
    * create_dpkg utility
8340
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8341
 
8342
------------------------------------------------------------------------

8345
Major changes:
8346
 
8347
Minor changes:
8348
    * Dependancy generator
8349
      Correct two common situations
8350
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8351
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8352
           ansi, but is often done.
8353
 
8354
    * GCC toolset
8355
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8356
      being created in the correct place.
8357
 
8358
    * jats "label"
8359
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8360
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8361
 
8362
 
8363
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8364
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8366
Major changes:
8367
 
8368
Minor changes:
8369
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8370
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8371
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8372
 
8373
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8374
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8375
 
8376
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8377
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8378
      package was not being transferred.
8379
 
8380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8381
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8383
Major changes:
8384
    * Support for solaris_i386
8385
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8386
      binaries for this target.
8387
 
8388
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8389
      with the GCC compiler.
8390
 
8391
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8392
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8393
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8394
 
8395
Minor changes:
8396
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8397
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8398
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8399
 
8400
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8401
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8402
 
8403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8404
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8405
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8406
Major changes:
8407
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8408
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8409
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8410
 
8411
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8412
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8413
 
8414
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8415
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8416
      with either " or ' characters.
8417
 
8418
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8419
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8420
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8421
 
8422
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8423
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8424
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8425
 
8426
    * Jats wrapper
8427
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8428
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8429
      further commands.
8430
 
8431
Minor changes:
8432
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8433
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8434
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8435
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8436
 
8437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8438
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8440
Major changes:
8441
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8442
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8443
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8444
 
8445
      These options operation affect all components within the
8446
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8447
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8448
 
8449
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8450
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8451
 
8452
Minor changes:
8453
 
8454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8455
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8456
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8457
Major changes:
8458
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8459
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8460
 
8461
Minor changes:
8462
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8463
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8464
 
8465
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8466
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8467
 
8468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8469
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8471
Major changes:
8472
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8473
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8474
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8475
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8476
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8477
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8478
      installed.
8479
 
8480
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8481
      libraries that depend on each other.
8482
 
8483
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8484
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8485
 
8486
Minor changes:
8487
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8488
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8489
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8490
 
8491
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8492
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8493
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8494
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8495
 
8496
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8497
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8499
Major changes:
8500
 
8501
Minor changes:
8502
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8503
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8504
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8505
      file.
8506
 
8507
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8508
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8509
 
8510
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8511
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8512
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8513
 
8514
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8515
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8516
 
8517
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8518
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8519
 
8520
    * WinCE toolsets
8521
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8522
      compiler specific libraries.
8523
 
8524
    * SOLARIS toolset
8525
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8526
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8527
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8528
 
8529
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8530
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8531
      cleaned up.
8532
 
8533
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8534
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8535
 
8536
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8537
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8538
      with either " or ' characters.

8542
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8543
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8544
Major changes:
8545
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8546
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8547
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8548
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8549
 
8550
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8551
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8552
 
8553
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8554
      user.
8555
 
8556
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8557
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8558
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8559
 
8560
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8561
      for the   -Gf option.
8562
 
8563
Minor changes:
8564
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8565
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8566
 
8567
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8568
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8569
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8570
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8571
 
8572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8573
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8575
Major changes:
8576
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8577
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8578
 
8579
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8580
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8581
      data addresses for the board.
8582
 
8583
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8584
 
8585
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8586
 
8587
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8588
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8589
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8590
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8591
         PackageFile
8592
 
8593
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8594
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8595
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8596
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8597
 
8598
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8599
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8600
      to be installed and packaged.
8601
 
8602
Minor changes:
8603
 
8604
    * cache_dpkg utility
8605
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8606
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8607
 
8608
    * label utility
8609
      New option -auto to create and label
8610
 
8611
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8612
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8613
 
8614
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8615
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8616
      directory. ie:
8617
 
8618
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8619
 
8620
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8621
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8622
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8623
 
8624
 
8625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8626
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8628
Major changes:
8629
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8630
 
8631
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8632
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8633
 
8634
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8635
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8636
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8637
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8638
 
8639
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8640
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8641
      compilation.
8642
 
8643
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8644
 
8645
Minor changes:
8646
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8647
      one is being produced.
8648
 
8649
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8650
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8651
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8652
 
8653
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8654
 
8655
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8656
 
8657
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8658
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8659
 
8660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8661
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8663
Major changes:
8664
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8665
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8666
 
8667
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8668
 
8669
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8670
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8671
      same directory
8672
 
8673
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8674
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8675
      documenattion.
8676
 
8677
Minor changes:
8678
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8679
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8680
 
8681
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8682
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8683
 
8684
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8685
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8686
 
8687
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8688
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8689
 
8690
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8691
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8692
      be exempt from this test.
8693
 
8694
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8695
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8696
 
8697
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8698
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8699
 
8700
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8701
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8702
      does.
8703
 
8704
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8705
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8706
 
8707
 
8708
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8709
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8711
Major changes:
8712
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8713
 
8714
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8715
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8716
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8717
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8718
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8719
 
8720
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8721
      operations.
8722
 
8723
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8724
 
8725
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8726
 
8727
Minor changes
8728
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8729
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8730
 
8731
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8732
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8733
      directory is not added to the library path.
8734
 
8735
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8736
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8737
 
8738
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8739
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8740
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8741
 
8742
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8743
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8744
      specific flags.
8745
 
8746
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8747
 
8748
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8749
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8750
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8751
 
8752
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8753
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8754
      JATS.
8755
 
8756
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8757
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8758
 
8759
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8760
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8761
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8762
 
8763
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8764
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8765
 
8766
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8767
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8768
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8769
 
8770
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8771
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8772
 
8773
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8774
 
8775
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8776
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8777
 
8778
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8779
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8780
      objects.
8781
 
8782
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8783
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8784
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8785
      build defendants.
