      Examples: 
793
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
794
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
795
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
796
 
797
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
798
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
799
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.

801
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
802
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
803
      build system.
804
 
805
Experimental:
806
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
807
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
808
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
814
 
815
Minor changes:
816
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
817
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
818
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
819
 
820

821
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
823
 
824
Minor changes:
825
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
826
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
827
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
828
 
829
    * Build Files
830
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
831
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
832
 
833
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
834
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
835
 
836
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
837
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
838
 
839
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
840
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
841
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
842
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
843
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
844
 
845
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
846
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
847
     different architectures.
848
 
849
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
850
     are directed to one or more machines.
851
 
852
     Intended uses:
853
        Windows: Creating installers. 
854
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
855
 
856
       All: Specialized packaging.
857
 
858
    * Makefiles
859
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
860
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
861
      Eg:
862
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
863
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
864
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
865
      It could also have been written as:
866
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
867
      but NOT as:
868
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
869
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
870
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
871
 
872
    * Utility: sandbox
873
      Subcommand info 
874
        - Added option to test fingerprints

883
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
884
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
885
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
886
 
887
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
888
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
889
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
890
 
891
    * GenerateFiles directive
892
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
893

    * Utility: sandbox
895
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
896
 
897

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
913
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
914
 
915
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
916
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
917
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
918
      machine may build the toolset.
919
 
920
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
921
      platform.

942
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
943
 
944
    * Utility: escrow
945
      Added -skim option
946
 
947
    * Utility: sandbox
948
      Many improvements:
949
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
950
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
951
 
952
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
953
 
954
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
955
        if an error is detected.
956
 
957
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
958
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
959
 
960
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
961
        skipped during the build.
962
 
963
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

968
 
969
Minor changes:
970
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
971
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
972
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
973
 
974
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
975
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

      [JATS-266] jats install and package - does not preserve symbolic links
5885 dpurdie 1154
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 1155
      the library: link and soname.
1156
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not

1850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1851
Minor changes:
1852
    * New build Alias - NATIVE
1853
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
1854
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1855
 
1856
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
1857
      for automated unit tests.
1858
 
4761 dpurdie 1859
    * New build platform - UBUNTU12_INSTRUMENT
4728 dpurdie 1860
      This build target is similar to UBUNTU12, except that it 
1861
      generates instrumented code with gcov. The platform's unit tests 
1862
      will create and maintain a set of lcov files.
1863
 
4805 dpurdie 1864
      Packages generated with this target SHOULD NOT be deployed 
1865
      to the field.

1875
      Will add its own 'built' files to the package metadata file.
1876
 
1877
    * VS2012 Toolset
1878
      [JATS-308] Running jats from VS2012 Developer command prompt
1879
 
4688 dpurdie 1880
    * EnvVars
1881
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1882
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1883
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1884
 
1885
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1886
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1887
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1888
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1889
 
1890
    * Jats caching
1891
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1892
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed
1893
      up jats startup.

1918
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1919
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1920
 
1921
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1922
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1923
 
1924
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1925
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

4034 dpurdie 2194
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
2195
 
2196
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
2197
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
2198
 
2199
Minor changes:
2200
    * BuildName directive
2201
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
2202
 
2203
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 2204

2213
Major changes:
2214
 
2215
Minor changes:
2216
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2217
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2218
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2219
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2220
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2221
 
2222
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2223
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

2230
Minor changes:
2231
    * Utility: update_release
2232
      Added options:
2233
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2234
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2235
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2236
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2237
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2238
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2239
 
2240
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2241
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2242
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2243
 
2244
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2245
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
2246

2249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2250
Major changes:
2251
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2252
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2253
      intended to build deployed software.
2254
 
2255
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2256
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2257
 
2258
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2259
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2260
 
2261
Minor changes:
2262
    * Jats wrapper script
2263
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2264
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2265
      Subversion instance of the command.
2266
 
2267
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2268
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2269
 
2270
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2271
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2272
 
2273
    * Utility: jats upddep
2274
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2275
      file under windows.
2276
 
2277
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2278
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2279
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2280
 
2281
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2282
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2283
 
2284
    * GCC Toolchain
2285
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2301
Major changes:
2302
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2303
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2304
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2305
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2306
 
2307
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2308
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2316
      family
3559 dpurdie 2317
 
2318
Minor changes:
2319
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2320
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2321
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2322
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2323
      line.
2324
 
2325
    * Jats Configuration
2326
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2327
 
2328
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2329
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2330
      and Linux.
2331
 
2332
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2333
      correctly rippled.

2338
Major changes:
2339
 
2340
Minor changes:
2341
    * Jats Core
2342
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2343
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2344
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2345
 
2346
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2347
      Used only by the build daemons.
2348
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2349
 
2350
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2351
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2352
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2357
Major changes:
2358
 
2359
Minor changes:
2360
    * svnrelease utility
2361
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2362
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2363
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2364
 
2365
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2366
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2367
      the named tag.
2368
 
2369
    * svnrelease utility
2370
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2371
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2381
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
2382
        covered by the makefile.
2383
 
2384
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2385
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2386
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2387
 
2388
    * ALL Toolsets
2389
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2390
 
2391
    * Utility vcsdiff
2392
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2393
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2394
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

2401
Minor changes:
2402
    * Subversion Extraction
2403
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2404
      directory of the tag.
2405
 
2406
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2407
      repository.
2408
 
2409
    * Subversion Support
2410
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2411
      showing the user what to do.
2412
 
2413
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2414
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2415
      we have build support for this target.
2416
 
2417
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2418
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2419
 
2420
Internal:
2421
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2422
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2423
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2424
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Major changes:
2439
 
2440
Minor changes:
2441
    * Makefile generation
2442
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2443
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2444
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2445
      of warnings.
2446
 
2447
    * Makefile Generation
2448
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2457
Major changes:
2458
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2459
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2460
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2461
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2462
 
2463
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2464
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2465
      windows path scheme.
2466
 
2467
Minor changes:
2468
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2469
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2470
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2471
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2472
 
2473
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2474
        jats make clobber
2475
      This operates as before.
2476
 
2477
    * Utility: escrow
2478
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2479
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2480
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2481
 
2482
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2483
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2484
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2485
 
2486
    * Utility: svn : url
2487
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2488
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2489
 
2490
    * Utility: svn : import
2491
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2492
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2493
 
2494
    * Subversion Support
2495
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2496
      showing the user what to do.
2497
 
2498
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2499
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2500
      repositories.

2505
 
2506
Minor changes:
2507
    * Jats build
2508
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2509
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2510
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2511
 
2512
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2513
      command, with a sandbox.

2523
      Added two subcommands
2524
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2525
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2526
                 Can also display available branches.
2527
 
2054 dpurdie 2528
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2534
 
2535
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2536
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2537
      Modified two options:
2538
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2539
                        The named branch must not exist
2540
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2541
                        The named branch must exist
2542
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2550
      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2551
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2552
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2553
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2600
 
2601
Minor changes:
2602

2603
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2604
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2605
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2606
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2607
 
2608
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2609
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.

2611
 
2612
    * Linux support utilities
2613

2619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2620
Major changes:
2621
    * Subversion Repository location
2622
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2623
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2624
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2625
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2626
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2627
 
2628
Minor changes:
2629
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2630
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2631
 
2632
    * Utility: svnrelease
2633
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2634
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2635
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2636
 
2637
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2638
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2639
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2640
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2641
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2642
 
2643
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2644
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2645
 
2646
    * Utility: sandbox
2647
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2648
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2649
 
2650
      Subcommand: populate
2651
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2652
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2653
      sandbox.
2654
 
2655
    * Subversion Support
2656
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2657
      repository is not supported.
2658
 
2659
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2660
      a progress indication.
2661
 
2662
    * Jats Online Documentation
2663
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2664
      online documentation.
2665
 
2666
    * Generated makefiles
2667
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2715
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2716
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2717
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2718
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2719
 
2720

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2744
Major changes:
2745
 
2746
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2747
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2748
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2749
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2750
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2751
 
2752
    * C# Toolchain
2753

2764
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2765
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2766
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2767
 
2768
    * Utility ccrelease
2769
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2770
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2771
 
2772
    * Utility: svn
2773
      Improved package import processing.
2774
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2802
Major changes:
2803
 
2804
Minor changes:
2805
    * Command: jats clobber
2806
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2807
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2808
 
2809
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2810
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2811
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2812
 
2813
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2814
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2815
 
377 dpurdie 2816
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2817
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2818
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2819
 
2820
    * jats svnlabel
2821
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2822
 
2823
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2824
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2825
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2826
 
2827
    * Built Daemon support
2828
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2829
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2830

373 dpurdie 2832
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2834
Major changes:
2835
    * GCC Toolset
2836
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2837
      New methodology is:
2838
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2839
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2840
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2841
        as the main binary.
2842
 
2843
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2844
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2845
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2846
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2847
      both worlds.
2848
 
2849
Minor changes:
2850
    * HTML Documentation
2851
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2852
 
2853
Internal changes:
2854
    * Generated makefiles

2856
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
2857

2860
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2861
Major changes:
2862
    * Jats Sandbox
2863
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2864
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2865
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2866
 
2867
    * RIORDS Platform
2868
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

2888
 
2889
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
2890
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
2891
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2892
 
2893
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2894
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2895
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2896
      a vob.
2897

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
2963
      the clearcase label.
2964
 
2965

2973
Major changes:
2974
    * New toolset: ARM251
2975
 
2976
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2977
      Uses the ARM251 toolset.
2978
 
2979
Minor changes:
2980
    * HTML Help
2981
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2982
 
2983
    * jats build -noforce
2984
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2985
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2986
      be forced.
2987
 
2988
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2989
 
2990
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2991
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2992
 
2993
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
2994
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
2995
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
2996
 
2997
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
2998
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
2999
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3000
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3001
 
3002
    * Utility: svnrelease
3003
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3004
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3005
 
3006
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3007
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3008
 
3009
    * Utility: svn
3010
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3011
      installed and can be used.
3012
 
3013
    * Toolset: CSharp
3014
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3015
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3016
      character.
3017
 
3018
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3019
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3020
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3021
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3022
      masking an error.
3023
 
3024
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3025
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3026
      enhancement.

3028
    * Toolset: dafbr
3029
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

3032
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3033
        - Return correct path to package
3034
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3035
 
3036
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3037
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3038
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3039
 
3040
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3041
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3042
      packages.
3043
 
3044
    * make command: show
3045
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3046
      'jats make show' command.
3047
 
3048
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3049
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3050
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3051
 
3052
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3053
      executed on Unix machines.

3356
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3357
Major changes:
3358
    * [DEVI-062103]
3359
      Many (11) toolsets - all that generate linker dependency
3360
      files for creating shared libraries or programs.
3361
        Solaris, Gcc, WIN32, Wince, MOS, Verix, Keil, AVR_IAR,
3362
        CSHARP, MCR, Pharlap.
3363
 
3364
      Better, simpler, and in some cases correct, generation
3365
      of dependency files used in linking. Also generate separate
3366
      files for Production and Debug builds.
3367
 
3368
Minor changes:
3369
    * Jats sandbox command
3370
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
3371
      found in any of the the package archives.
3372
 
3373
    * Jats release -extract
3374
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
3375
      describes:
3376
        - the directory in which the user created the view
3377
        - the date of creation
3378
 
3379
    * PackageFile directive
3380
      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
3381
 
3382
Internal:
3383
    * PackageFile, PackageHdr and InstallHdr directives
3384
      Removed --Abs option - its not supported
3385
      Fixed --Full option.

3390
Major changes:
3391
 
3392
Minor changes:
3393
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3394
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3395
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3396
      resulting in multiple builds.
3397
 
3398
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3399
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3400
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3401
 
3402
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3403
 
3404
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3405
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3406
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.
3407

331 dpurdie 3409
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
3410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3411
Major changes:
3412
 
3413
Minor changes:
3414
    * Jats label command
3415
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3416
      Not recommended for general use.
3417
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3418
      directories within the current view.
3419
 
3420
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3421
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3422
      elsewhere.
3423
 
3424
    * Jats save_build
3425
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3426
      the determination of a branch.
3427
 
3428
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3429
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3430
 
3431
    * Jats build
3432
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3433
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3434
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3435
 
3436
    * Borland6 toolset
3437
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3438
      to match the documented install location of:
3439
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3440
 
3441
    * Jats build
3442
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3443
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3444
      This is a very quick operation.
3445
 
3446
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3447
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3448
 
3449
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3450
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3451
      files are only recreated if need be.
3452
 
3453
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3454
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3455
      make the package.
3456
 
3457
    * Jats sandbox
3458
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3459
 
3460
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3461
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3462
 
3463
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3464
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3465
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3466
      is performed.
3467
 
3468
Internal:
3469
    * build.pl
3470
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

3502
Major changes:
3503
 
3504
Minor changes:
3505
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3506
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3507
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3508
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3509
 
3510
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3511
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3512
 
3513
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3514
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3515
      platform builds.
3516
 
3517
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3518
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3519
      directory tree.
3520
 
3521
    * New command: jats man
3522
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3523
 
3524
Internal changes:
3525
    * jats upddep
3526
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3527
 
3528
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3529
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
3530
      Not yet in use.

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3535
Major changes:
3536
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3537
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3538
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3539
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3540
 
3541
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3542
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3543
 
3544
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3545
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3546
 
3547
      Examples:
3548
            jats upddep -show
3549
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3550
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3551
 
3552
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3553
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3554
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3555
 
3556
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3557
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3558
 
3559
Minor changes:
3560
 
3561
Internal changes:
3562
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3563
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

3567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3568
Major changes:
3569
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3570
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3571
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3572
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3573
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3574
      stream.
3575
 
3576
      Example:
3577
 
3578
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3579
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3580
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3581
                     );
3582
Minor changes:
3583
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3584
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3585
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3586
      directive.
3587
 
3588
    * GCC Toolkit
3589
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3590
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3591
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3592
      the point of termination.
3593
 
3594
    * Jats save_build utility
3595
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3596
      under windows.
3597
 
3598
    * Jats sandbox
3599
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3600
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3601
      in different sandboxes.
3602
 
3603
    * Jats release
3604
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3605

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3613
      Added -locatedir=name
3614
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3615
      directory.
3616
 
3617
    * jats label utility
3618
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3619
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3620
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3621
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3622
 
3623
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3624

3630
Minor changes:
3631
    * WinCe Toolsets
3632
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3633
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3634
        noExceptions            - Disable
3635
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3636
      Example:
3637
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3638
 
3639
    * Solaris targets
3640
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3641
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3642
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3643
      machine type.
3644

3647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3648
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3649
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3650
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3651
      project files.
3652
 
3653
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3654
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3655
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3656
 
3657
Minor changes:
3658
    * Added more internal documentation
3659
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3660
 
3661
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3662
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3663
 
3664
    * Jats save_build utility
3665
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3666
      under windows.
3667
 
3668
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3669
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3670
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3671
      libraries.
3672
 
3673
    * Solaris builds
3674
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3675
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3676
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3677
      of the build failure.
3678
 
3679
 
3680
Internal changes:
3681
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3682
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3683
 
3684
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3685
      PkgArchive topics.

    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3692
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3693
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3694
      existing 32-bit builds.
3695
 
3696
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

3701
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3702
 
3703
    * Package searching
3704
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3705
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3706
 
3707
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3708
 
3709
    * jats help
3710
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3711
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3712
 
3713
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3714
      with one of:
3715
        jats -h
3716
        jats help jats
3717
 
3718
Internal:
3719
    * cmdfile utility
3720
      Added macros:
3721
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3722
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3723
 
3724
      Corrected
3725
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)

3742
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3743
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3744
      Useful side effects include:
3745
 
3746
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3747
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3748
 
3749
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3750
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3751
 
3752
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3753
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3754
        BuildPkgArchive
3755
 
313 dpurdie 3756
    * Perl Modules
3757
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3758
      release. This will:
3759
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3760
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3761
          reported by ERG.
3762
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3767
Major changes:
3768
 
3769
Minor changes:
3770
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3771
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3772
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3773
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3774
 
3775
    * Jats label utility
3776
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3777
 
3778
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3779
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3780
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3781
 
3782
    * Jats core
3783
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3784
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3785
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3794
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3795
      This is now fixed.
3796
 
309 dpurdie 3797
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3798
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3799
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3800
 
3801
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3802
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
3811
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3812
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3813
      an error.
3814
 
3815
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3816
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3817
 
3818
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3819

    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3827
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3828
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3829
 
3830
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3831
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3832
 
3833
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3834
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3835
      Support includes
3836
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3837
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3838
 
3839
Minor changes:
3840
    * Build file processing
3841
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3842
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3843
 
3844
    * MOS builds
3845
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3846
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3847
 
3848
    * MOS builds
3849
      New 'known' product: PICP
3850
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3851
 
3852
    * GenerateFiles directive
3853
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3854
        under windows.
3855
 
3856
        .
3857
 
3858
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3859
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3860
 
3861
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3862
      to the output stream.
3863
 
3864
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3865
 
3866
    * Windows Shell
3867
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3868
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3869
 
3870
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3871
 
3872
    * H8S toolset
3873
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3874
 
3875
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3876
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3877
 
3878
Internal changes
3879
    * WinCe builds
3880
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3881
      content of the file.
3882
 
3883
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3884
 
3885
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3886
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3898
Major changes:
3899
 
3900
Minor changes:
3901
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3902
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3903
      Changes are transparent to users.
3904
 
3905
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3906
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3907
      this occurs.
3908
 
3909
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3910
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3911
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3912
      automated build framework.
3913
 
3914
    * jats sandbox command
3915
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3916
      'create' command.
3917
 
3918
    * jats command aliases. Added
3919
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3920

3925
Major changes:
3926
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3927
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3928
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3929
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3930
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3931
      will work as expected
3932
 
3933
Minor changes:
3934
    * VS2008 Toolset
3935
      Picking up incorrect config details
3936
      May result in a warning message.
3937
 
3938
    * gen_cots utility
3939
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3940
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3941
 
3942
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3943
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3991
Major changes:
3992
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
3993
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
3994
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
3995
 
3996
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
3997
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
3998
 
3999
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4000
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4001
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4002
           names cannot be changed.
4003
 
4004
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4005
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4006
 
4007
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4008
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4009
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4010
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4011
 
4012
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4013
      file.
4014
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4015
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4016
      MyPackage.dpk.
4017
 
4018
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4019
      file.
4020
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4021
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4022
      MyDll.dpr.
4023
 
4024
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4025
      file.
4026
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4027
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4028
      MyProg.dpr.
4029
 
4030
Minor changes:
4031
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4032
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4033
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4034
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4035
 
4036
    * BuildVersion directive
4037
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4038
      in a Delphi Unit.
4039
 
4040
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4041
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4042
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4043
      'know' the location of the files.
4044
 
4045
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4046
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4047
 
4048
Internal Changes:
4049
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4050
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4051
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4052
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4053
 
4054
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4055
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4056
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4060
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4061
Major changes:
4062
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4063
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4064
      information for purely C++ builds.
4065
 
289 dpurdie 4066
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4067
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4068
 
289 dpurdie 4069
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4070
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4071
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4072
 
4073
Minor changes:
4074
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4075
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4076
 
4077
    * updatenodespec utility
4078
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4079

4133
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4134
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4135
 
279 dpurdie 4136
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4137
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4138
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4139
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4140
 
4141
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4142
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4143
 
4144
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4145
 
4146
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4147
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4148
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4149
 
4150
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4151
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4152
        processed.
4153
 
4154
      Removed the '-delete' option
4155
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4156
 
277 dpurdie 4157
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4158
    * Sandbox command
4159
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4160
 
4161
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4162
      target from consideration in the build set.
4163
 
4164
    * MCR Toolset
4165
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4166
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4167
 
4168
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4169
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4170
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4171
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4172
 
4173
    * Jats run_test command
4174
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4175
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4176
 
4177
    * descpkg file
4178
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4179
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4180
 
4181
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4182
     Now contains build trace information
4183
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4184
 
4185
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4186
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4187
     it contains 'jar' files.
4188
 
4189
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4190
 
4191
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4192
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4193
 
4194
   * BuildVersion directive
4195
     Form:
4196
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4197
     now works as expected.
4198
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4199
 
4200
Internal Changes:
4201
 
4202
    * Error reporting mechanism

4218
 
4219
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4220
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4221
 
4222
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4223
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4224
    non-platform option.
4225

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
4365
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4366
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4367
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

4390
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4391
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4392
 
4393
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

Minor changes:
4530
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
4531
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
4532
      artifacts.
4533
 
4534
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
4535
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
4536
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
4537
 
4538
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4539
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4540
      time.
4541
 
4542
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4543
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
4544
 
4545
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
4546
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
4547
      Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified 
4548
      within the package.
4549
 
4550
    * Jats utility: dstatus
4551
      Suppresses archived releases.
4552
      Shows release state
4553
 
4554
    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
4555
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
4556
 
4557
Internal Changes:
4558
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4559
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4560
      Previously was being done at two places
4561
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4562
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4563
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4564
 
4565
    * JATS make: Command line
4566
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4567
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
4568
 
4569
      It didn't work on all platforms.
4570
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
4571
 
4572
    * JATS command line
4573
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
4574
      to allow:
4575
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4576
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4577
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4578
 
4579
    * JATS makefile generation
4580
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
4581
      Improved readability of the generation process
4582
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
4583
      Removed dead code
4584
      Improved the creation of Progs
4585
 
4586
    * JATS error reporting
4587
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
4588
      problems.
4589
 
4590
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
4591
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
4592
 
4593
    * Assorted Perl files
4594
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
4595
 
4596
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
4597
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
4598
      makefiles
4599
 
4600
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
4601
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4602
 
4603
    * FileUtils package.
4604
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4605
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
4606
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
4620
 
4621
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4622
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4623
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4624
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4625
 
4626
Minor changes:
4627
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4628
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4629
 
4630
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4631
      some windows tools.

4635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4636
Major changes:
4637
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4638
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4639
 
4640
      New platforms:
4641
        CSHARP2005
4642
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4643
         Support extends to allow:
4644
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4645
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4646
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4647
 
4648
        VS2005
4649
         Support extends to allow:
4650
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4651
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4652
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4653
 
4654
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4655
      through a version selector:
4656
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4657
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4658
 
4659
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4660
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4661
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4662
 
4663
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4664
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4665
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4666
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4667
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4668
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4669
          under VS2005.
4670
 
4671
Minor changes:
4672
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4673
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4674
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4675
 
4676
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4677
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4678
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4679
 
4680
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4681
 
4682
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4683
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4684
 
4685
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4686
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4687
      a minimal value of perl.
4688
 
4689
      Removed excessive require statements.
4690
 
4691
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4692
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4693
      Include JATS specific files for
4694
        1) Windows
4695
        2) Linux
4696
 
4697
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4698
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4699
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4700
      machines.
4701
 
4702
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4703
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4704
 
4705
    * JATS Environment
4706
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4707
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4708
 
4709
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4710
      wrapper scripts.
4711
 
4712
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4713
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4714
      Spell check help and code.

4738
      options are passed correctly.
4739
 
4740
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4741
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4742
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4743
      was added.
4744
 
4745
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4746
      reviewing a new package.
4747
 
4748
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4749
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4750
      automatically included in the source file list.
4751
 
253 dpurdie 4752

4766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4767
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4768
  * New toolset and platform
4769
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4770
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4771
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4772
    this platform.
4773
 
4774
Minor changes:
4775
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4776
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4777
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4778
    work.
4779
 
4780
  * Jats utility: release
4781
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4782
    published to dpkg_archive.
4783
 
249 dpurdie 4784
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4785
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4786
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4787
    supported for ANT builds.
4788
 
4789
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4790
        releasemanager.releasename
4791
        releasemanager.projectname
4792
 
4793
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4794
    tagged data item of the form
4795
 
4796
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4797
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4798
 
4799
  * Mug File Generation
4800
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4801
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4802
 
4803
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4804
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4805
    required.
4806
 
4807
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4808
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4809
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4810
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4811
    the files in order to use them.
4812
 
4813
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4814
    locate the file.
4815
 
4816
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4817
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4818
 
4819
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4820
        * CSharp
4821
        * Properties
4822
        * WinRC
4823
 
4824
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4825
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4826
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4827
    Value is correctly assigned.
4828

4831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4832
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4833
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4834
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4835
 
4836
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4837
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4838
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4839
 
4840
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4841
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4842
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4843
 
4844
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4845
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4846
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4847
 
4848
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4849
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4850
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4851
    correct.
4852
 
4853
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4854
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4855
 
4856
Minor changes:
4857
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4858
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4859
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4860
 
4861
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4862
    This will simplify new user setup.
4863
 
4864
  * All Unix Toolsets
4865
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4866
    on unix systems
4867
 
4868
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4869
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4870
    on some Solaris Machines.
4871
 
4872
  * JATS -version=<version>
4873
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4874
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4875

    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4892
      Does not work with LMOS
4893
 
4894
    * Readme.txt file
4895
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4896
 
4897
    * Misc Cleanup
4898

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
4917
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4918
 
4919
  * JATS builds
4920
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4921
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4922
    mode.
4923
 
4924
  * JATS makefiles
4925
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4926
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4927
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4928
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4929
                            SetList directive.
4930
 
4931
    ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );
4932
        AddSrcDir ('!--Project=sls', 'default');
4933
 
4934
  * JATS makefiles. MakeProject directive

4943
    of JATS.
4944
 
4945
  * JATS save_build utility
4946
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
4947
    which may be reserved.

4949
  * JATS gen_cots utility
4950
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
4951
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
4952
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
4953
 
4954
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
4955
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
4956
 
4957
  * JATS release (cbuilder) utility
4958
    Handle paths that have a trailing path separators.
4959

    * Escrow tool
4965
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
4966
      description.

4976
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
4977
 
4978
    * MOS Toolset
4979
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
4980

5032
    * MOS Compiler
5033
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5034
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5035
 
5036
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5037
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5038
      descpkg files to be copied.
5039
 
5040
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5041
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

5075
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5076
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5077
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5078
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5079
 
5080
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5081
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5082
 
5083
    * Jats wrapper
5084
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5085
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5086

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5090
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5091
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5092
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5093
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5094
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5095
 
5096
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5097
 
5098
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5099
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5100
 
5101
    * Running Jats
5102
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5103
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5104
      This may affect some windows developers.
5105
 
5106
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5107
      Future versions will generate an error.
5108
 
5109
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5110
 
5111
Minor changes:
5112
    * Perl Version Check
5113
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5114
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5115
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5116
 
5117
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5118
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5119
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5120
      build.
5121
 
5122
    * Jats Internals
5123
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5124
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5125
 
5126
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5127
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5128
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5129
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5130
      process.
5131
 
5132
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5133
      Only works under Windows.
5134
 
5135
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5136
 
5137
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5138
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5139
 
5140
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5141
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5142
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5143
 
5144
    * Jats eprog
5145
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5146
      directory.
5147
 
5148
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5149
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5150
      build metrics.
5151

5155
Major changes:
5156
 
5157
Minor changes:
5158
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5159
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5160
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5161
      automated build system. New options are:
5162
        -pname=Package_Name
5163
        -pversion=Package_Version
5164
 
5165
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5166
      transferring the package. New options are:
5167
        -test
5168
 
5169
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5170
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5171
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5172
 
5173
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5174
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5175
 
5176
    * Solaris Toolset
5177
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5178
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5179
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5184
Major changes:
5185
 
5186
Minor changes:
5187
    * WINCE toolsets
5188
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5189
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5190
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5191
      when header files cannot be found.
5192
 
5193
    * GenerateFiles directive
5194
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5195
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5196
      that are difficult to solve.
5197
 
5198
    * MakePerlModule directive
5199
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5200
      to the the module builder.
5201
 
5202
    * Jats Tool: label
5203
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5204
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5205
      -dirs=xxx options.
5206
 
5207
    * Jats Tool: release
5208
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5209
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5210
 
5211
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5212
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5213
 
5214
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5215
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5216
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5217
 
5218
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5239
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5240
 
5241
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5242
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform

5296
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5297
      inconsistent packages.
5298
 
5299

        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5314
 
5315
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5316
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5317
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5318
 
5319
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5320
        New options:
5321
            --MultiScan
5322
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5323
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5324
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5330
Major changes:
5331
 
5332
Minor changes:
5333
    PackageLib directive
5334
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5335
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5336
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5337
 
5338
    MakefileGenerate directive
5339
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5340
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5341
 
5342
    Multiple Parent detection
5343
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5344
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5345
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5346
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5347
 
5348
    Solaris Toolset
5349
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5350
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5351
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5352
    link.
5353
 
5354
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5355
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5356
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5357
 
5358
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5359
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5360
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5361
    file.

5364
Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
5365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5366
Major changes:
5367
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5368
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5369
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5370
 
5371
    Summary of changes:
5372
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5373
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5374
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5375
          flexibility.
5376
 
5377
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5378
 
5379
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5380
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5381
          interface directory and associated build information.
5382
 
5383
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5384
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5385
          than one second.
5386
 
5387
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5388
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5389
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5390
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5391
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5392
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5393
 
5394
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5395
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5396
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5397
 
5398
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5399
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5400
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5401
          building them.
5402
 
5403
        - Detection of build file changes
5404
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5405
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5406
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5407
 
5408
        - Quieter make output
5409
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5410
 
5411
 
5412
Minor changes:
5413
    MakeAnt Directive
5414
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5415
 
5416
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5417
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5418
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5419
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5420
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5421
 
5422
    CSHARP toolset
5423
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5424

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5432
    are generated.
5433
 
5434
    MakeAnt
5435
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5436
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5437
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5438
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5439
 
5440
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
5450
    MakeAnt directive extended
5451
    New option: --PackageBase
5452
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5453
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5454
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5455
 
5456
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5457
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5458
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5459
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5479
 
5480
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5481
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5482
 
5483
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5484
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5485
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5486
 
5487
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5488
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5489
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5490
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

Minor changes:
5518
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5519
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5520
 
5521
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5522
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5523
      last.
5524
 
5525
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5526
 
5527
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5528
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5529
 
5530
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5531
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5532
 
5533
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5534
 
5535
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5536
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5537
 
5538
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5539
 
5540
 
5541
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5542
           with the --System option
5543
 
5544

5555
      dependent packages.
5556
 
5557
    * RunTest operation
5558
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5559
 
5560

5565
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5566
Major changes:
5567
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5568
 
5569
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5570
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5571
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5572
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5573
      path.
5574
 
5575
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5576
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5577
      reproducible.
5578
 
5579
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5580
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5581
 
5582
      There are several aspects to the change
5583
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5584
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5585
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5586
 
5587
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5588
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5589
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5590
          controlled separately.
5591
 
5592
Minor changes:
5593
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5594
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5595
        Remove duplicates
5596
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5597

Major changes:
5602
 
5603
Minor changes:
5604
    * Makefile sanity test
5605
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5606
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5607
 
5608
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5609
      x86 machine.
5610
 
5611
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5612
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5613

5615
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5617
Major changes:
5618
    * RunTest directive
5619
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5620
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5621
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5622
 
5623
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5624
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5625
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5626
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5627
 
5628
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5629
        builder within the current toolset.
5630
 
5631
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5632
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5633
 
5634
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5635
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5636
      containing the RunTest directive.
5637
 
5638
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5639
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5640
 
5641
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5642
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5643
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5644
 
5645
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5646
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5647
                            P or D suffix.
5648
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5649
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5650
 
5651
Minor changes:
5652
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5653
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5654
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5655
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5656
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5657
 
5658
    * Save Build Utility
5659
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5660
      used in a ripple build.
5661
 
5662
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5663
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5664
 
5665
    * Release Utility
5666
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5667
      when an error is encountered.
5668
 
5669
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5670
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5671
 
5672
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5673
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5674
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5675
 
5676
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5677
      before the makefiles are created.
5678
 
5679
    * TestProg directive
5680
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5681
 
5682
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5683
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.

5689
    * New build target
5690
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5691
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5692
 
5693
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5694
            DEVLINUX
5695
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5696
 
5697
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5698
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5699
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5700
 
5701
Minor changes:
5702
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5703
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5704
 
5705
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5706
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5707
 
5708
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5709
      and .cs files.
5710
 
5711
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5712
      thing.
5713
 
5714
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5715
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5716
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5717
      were it places temp files.
5718
 
5719
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5720
      interaction with other builds.
5721
 
5722
    * Release utility command
5723
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5724
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5725
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Major changes:
5774
 
5775
Minor changes:
5776
  * WINCE Support
5777
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5778
 
5779
  * Removed the following targets
5780
        TP5600
5781
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5782
        TP5600_EMU
5783
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5784
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5785
 
5786
  * Deployment
5787
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5788
 
5789
  * build.pl
5790
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5791
 
5792
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5793
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5794
 
5795
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5796
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5797
    build.
5798
 
5799
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5800
 
5801
  * Tool: escrow
5802
     New features
5803
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5804
     are not in the SBOM.
5805
 
5806
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5807
 
5808
     Specify packages to be ignored.

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6222
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6224
Major changes:
6225
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6226
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6227
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6228
    the makefile internals. ie:
6229
        --Var(BuildName)
6230
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6231
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6232
 
6233
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6234
 
6235
  * GenerateFiles
6236
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6237
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6238
 
6239
  * BuildPlatforms
6240
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6241
 
6242
Minor changes:
6243
  * GCC Toolset
6244
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6245
 
6246
Internal changes:
6247
  * GenerateFiles
6248
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6249
 
6250
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6251
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6252
 
6253
 
6254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6255
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6257
Major changes:
6258
  * Caching JATS
6259
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6260
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6261
 
6262
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6263
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6264
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6265
 
6266
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6267
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6268
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6269
 
6270
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6271
 
6272
Minor changes:
6273
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6274
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6275
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6276
 
6277
  * jats build
6278
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6279
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6280
    processed by the build.
6281
 
6282
  * jats build
6283
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6284
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6285
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6286
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6287
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6288
 
6289
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6290
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6291
    Path is not specified.
6292
 
6293
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6294
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6295
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6296
        --Dir=$Pinc
6297
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6298
 
6299
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6300
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6301
    Windows platform.
6302
 
6303
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6304
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6305
            by 'purecov.
6306
 
6307
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6308
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6309
 
6310
        - OPTIONS=purify
6311
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6312
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6313
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6314

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6319
Major changes:
6320
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6321
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6322
    Example:
6323
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6324
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6325
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6326
 
6327
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6328
    been determined.
6329
 
6330
Minor changes:
6331
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6332
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6333
    located at build-time.
6334
 
6335
  * Unix based systems
6336
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6337
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6338
 
6339
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6340
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6341
    driver being built.
6342
 
6343
 
6344

6349
 
6350
Minor changes:
6351
  * jats_rewrite tool
6352
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6353
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6354
 
6355
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6356
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6357
 
6358
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6359
    dependancy information within a package.
6360
 
6361
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6362
    messages.
6363
 
6364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6365
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6367

6368
  * makefile.pl directives
6369
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6370
 
6371
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6372
 
6373
    GenerateFiles.
6374
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6375
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6376
                      be run on every invocation.
6377
 
6378
 
6379
Minor changes:
6380
  * Added the jats version command
6381
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6382
 
6383
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6384
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6385
  There are two mechanism:
6386
 
6387
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6388
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6389
 
6390
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6391
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6392
 
6393
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6394
  default.
6395
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6396
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6397

6400
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6401
Major changes:
6402
  * SunWorks Toolset
6403
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6404
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6405
    It is based on machine type.
6406
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6407
 
6408
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6409
 
6410
Minor changes:
6411
  * Perl DBI interface
6412
    Removed the message showing database connection
6413
 
6414
  * JATS internal library
6415
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6416
 
6417

Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6420
Major changes:
6421
  * GCC Toolset
6422
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6423
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6424
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6425
 
6426
  * Added platforms
6427
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6428
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6429
    TP5600_EMU
6430
 
6431
Minor changes:
6432
  * descpkg file reader
6433
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6434
    field separator.
6435
 
6436
  * JATS eprog command
6437
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6438
 
6439
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6440
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6441
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6442
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6443
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6444
 
6445
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6446
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6447
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6448
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6449
 
6450
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6451
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6458
 
6459
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
6460
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
6461
 
6462
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6463
 
6464
 
6465
Minor changes:
6466
  * JATS wrapper script
6467
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6468
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6469
    to setup links to system programs.
6470

6488
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6489
Major changes:
6490
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6491
    Added CompileOptions
6492
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6493
        no_misalign         - Default
6494
 
6495
        multithread         - Default
6496
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6497
 
6498
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6499
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6500
 
6501
        prod_no_optimise
6502
        prod_no_debuginfo
6503
        prod_optimise
6504
        prod_debuginfo
6505
 
6506

6513
    Theses are:
6514
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6515
        SOLARIS_AMD
6516
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6517
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6518
 
6519
Minor changes:
6520
  * AT3232 toolset
6521
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6528
Version: JATS_2.56.3                                Released: 04-Sep-06
6529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6530
Major changes:
6531
 
6532
Minor changes:
6533
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6534
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6535
    messages
6536
 
6537
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6538
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6539
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6540
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6541
 
6542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6543
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6544
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6545
Major changes:
6546
 
6547
Minor changes:
6548
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6549
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6550
    library without creating the body of the library:
6551
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6552
 
6553
 
6554
  * MOS toolsets
6555
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6556
    library without creating the body of the library:
6557
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6558
 
6559
  * JATS BIN directories
6560
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6561
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6562
    using autoconf.
6563
 
6564
  * Generate directive
6565
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6566
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6567
 
6568
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6569
 
6570
 
6571
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6572
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6574
Major changes:
6575
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6576
    Initial release.
6577
 
6578
Minor changes:
6579
 
6580
 
6581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6582
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6583
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6584
Major changes:
6585
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6586
    Initial release.
6587
 
6588
  * Packaging directives
6589
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6590
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6591
 
6592
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6593
        SOLARIS
6594
        WIN32
6595
 
6596
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6597
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6598
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6599
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6600
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6601
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6602
 
6603
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6604
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6605
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6606
 
6607
 
6608
Minor changes:
6609
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6610
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6611
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6612
 
6613
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6614
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6615
    location
6616
 
6617
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6618
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6619
 
6620
  * Utility genrc
6621
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6622
 
6623
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6624
    Added option: -new
6625
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6626
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6627
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6628
 
6629
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6630
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6631
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6632
 
6633
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6634
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6635
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6636
 
6637
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6638
   features - in a uniform manner.
6639
 
6640
 
6641
Internal Changes:
6642
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6643
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6644
 
6645
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6646
        1) Platform information available at build time
6647
        2) Dynamic platform names
6648
 
6649
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6650
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6651
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6652
 
6653
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6654
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6655
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6656
 
6657
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6658
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6659
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6660
    needed.
6661
 
6662
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6663
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6664
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6665
    files from all of these.
6666

6668
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6670
Major changes:
6671
 
6672
Minor changes:
6673
  * WinCE toolset
6674
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6675
 
6676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6677
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6679
Major changes:
6680
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6681
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6682
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6683
 
6684
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6685
 
6686
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6687
    the operations.
6688
 
6689
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6690
 
6691
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6692
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6693
 
6694
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6695
 
6696
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6697
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6698
 
6699
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6700
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6701
    Extended the built-in help
6702
    Added useful error messages
6703
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6704
 
6705
  * WinCE toolset
6706
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6707
 
6708
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6709
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6710
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6711
 
6712
Minor changes:
6713
  * JATS wrapper script
6714
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6715
    the command line.
6716
 
6717
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6718
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6719
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6720
 
6721
Internal Changes:
6722
  * Common Error Reporting
6723
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6724
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6725
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6726
    level.
6727
 
6728
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6729
    displayed.
6730
 
6731
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6732
 
6733
  * Added JatsSystem module
6734
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6736
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6737
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6738
Major changes:
6739
 
6740
Minor changes:
6741
  * BR Compiler toolset
6742
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6743
    .def files to include other files.
6744
 
6745
  * IAR toolset
6746
    Added AT7272 support
6747
 
6748
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6749
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6750
 
6751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6752
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6754
Major changes:
6755
 
6756
Minor changes:
6757
  * BR Compiler toolset
6758
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6759
    use.
6760
 
6761
 
6762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6763
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6765
Major changes:
6766
 
6767
Minor changes:
6768
  * Mictotec toolset
6769
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6770
    builds.
6771
 
6772
  * JATS Core
6773
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6774
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6775
    behaviour.
6776
 
6777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6778
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6780
Major changes:
6781
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6782
    Deployment package will be affected.
6783
 
6784
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6785
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6786
 
6787
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6788
 
6789
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6790
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6791
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6792
    packages.
6793
 
6794
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6795
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6796
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6797
 
6798
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6799
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6800
 
6801
Minor changes:
6802
  * SubDir directive
6803
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6804
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6805
 
6806
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6807
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6808
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6809
    of the file usage.
6810
 
6811
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6812
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6813
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6814
 
6815
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6816
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6817
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6818
 
6819
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6820
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6821
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6822
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6823
 
6824
 
6825
Internal Changes:
6826
  * Code refactor
6827
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6828
 
6829
  * Deployment utilities
6830
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6831
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6832
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6833
    the module can locate the file.
6834
 
6835
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6836
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6837
 
6838
  * JATS core
6839
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6840
 
6841
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6842
 
6843
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6844
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6845
    through the use of environment variables.
6846
 
6847
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6848
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6849
 
6850
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6851
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6852
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6853
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6854
 
6855
  * Make environment
6856
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6857
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6858
 
6859
 
6860
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6861
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6863
Major changes:
6864
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6865
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6866
 
6867
 
6868
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6869
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6871
 
6872
Not Released.
6873
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6874
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6875
 
6876
 
6877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6878
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6880
Major changes:
6881
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6882
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6883
    radically replaced.
6884
 
6885
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6886
    Usage:
6887
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6888
 
6889
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6890
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6891
    this solution:
6892
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6893
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6894
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6895
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6896
 
6897
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6898
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6899
    order to work.
6900
 
6901
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6902
    reduced functionality.
6903
 
6904
 
6905
Minor changes:
6906
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6907
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6908
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6909
 
6910
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6911
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6912
    within the makefiles.
6913
        Options:
6914
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6915
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6916
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6917
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6918
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6919
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6920
        Useage:
6921
 
6922
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6923
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6924
 
6925
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6926
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6927
    is not in the current directory.
6928
 
6929
  * Jats Command: ant'
6930
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6931
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6932
 
6933
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6934
 
6935
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6936
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6937
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6938
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6939
 
6940
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6941
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6942
    Thus
6943
 
6944
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6945
 
6946
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6947

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6952
Major changes:
6953
 
6954
Minor changes:
6955
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6956
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6957
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6958
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6959
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6960
 
6961
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6962
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6963
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6964
 
6965
Internal changes:
6966
  * JATS toolsets
6967
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6968
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6969
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6970
 
6971
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6972
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6973
 
6974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6975
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6977
Major changes:
6978
  * Jats command: etool
6979
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6980
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6981
 
6982
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6983
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6984
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6985
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6986
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6987
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6988
 
6989
Minor changes:
6990
 
6991
 
6992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6993
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
6994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6995
Major changes:
6996
  * JATS environment variables
6997
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
6998
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
6999
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7000
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7001
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7002
 
7003
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7004
              Remote repository
7005
 
7006
    Added GBE_DPLY
7007
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7008
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7009
 
7010
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7011
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7012
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7013
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7014
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7015
 
7016
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7017
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7018
 
7019
 
7020
Minor changes:
7021
  * JATS utility: build
7022
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7023
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7024
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7025
 
7026
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7027
    Ensure label is not locked
7028
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7029
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7030
 
7031
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7032
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7033
    to a specific type of build.
7034
 
7035
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7036
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7037
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7038
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7039
 
7040
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7041
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7042
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7043
 
7044
  * JATS utility: release
7045
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7046
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7047
 
7048
  * JATS utility: label
7049
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7050
    when it is being created.
7051
 
7052
Internal Changes
7053
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7054
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7055
 
7056
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7057
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7058
 
7059
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7060
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7061
    different results.
7062
 
7063
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7064
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7065
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7066
 
7067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7068
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7070
Major changes:
7071
 
7072
  * MCR toolset
7073
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7074
 
7075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7076
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7078
Major changes:
7079
  * WIN32 utilities
7080
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7081
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7082
 
7083
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7084
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7085
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7086
 
7087
Minor changes:
7088
  * BuildVersion
7089
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7090
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7091
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7092
 
7093
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7094
 
7095
  * Unix Builds
7096
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7097
    library or a shared library.
7098
 
7099
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7100
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7101
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7102
    start with 'lib'.
7103
 
7104
  * BuildPkgArchive
7105
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7106
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7107
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7108
 
7109
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7110
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7111
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7112
Major changes:
7113
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7114
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7115
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7116
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7117
    being manually maintained.
7118
 
7119
 
7120
Minor changes:
7121
  * MakeAnt directive
7122
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7123
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7124
    supports ANT builds.
7125
 
7126
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7127
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7128
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7129
 
7130
  * Label utility
7131
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7132
    files to be labeled.
7133
 
7134
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7135
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7136
    on Solaris.
7137
 
7138
  * Generated makefiles
7139
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7140
    nothing.
7141
 
7142
  * MOS Toolset
7143
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7144
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7145
    modules.
7146
 
7147
  * Utility: gen_cots
7148
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7149
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7150
 
7151
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7152
 
7153
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7154
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7155
 
7156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7157
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7159
Major changes:
7160
  None
7161
 
7162
Minor changes:
7163
  * DEVI addressed
7164
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7165
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7166
 
7167
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7168
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7169
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7170
 
7171
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7172
 
7173
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7174
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7175
 
7176
  * RunTest directive
7177
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7178
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7179
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7180
 
7181
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7182
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7183
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7184
    packaged under JATS
7185
 
7186
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7187
          supported within JATS.
7188
 
7189
  * Jats utility wrapper
7190
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7191
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7192
 
7193
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7194
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7195
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7196
 
7197
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7198
    Eg: jats ant
7199
 
7200
  * Jats utility wrapper
7201
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7202
 
5710 dpurdie 7203
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7204
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7205
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7206
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7207
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7208
 
5710 dpurdie 7209
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7210
    expect a build.pl file.
7211
 
7212
  * Jats utility wrapper
7213
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7214
 
7215
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7216
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7217
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7218
 
7219
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7220
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7221
 
7222
  * Build files
7223
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7224
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7225
 
7226

7227
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7229
Major changes:
7230
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7231
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7232
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7233
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7234
 
7235
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7236
 
7237
Minor changes:
7238
  * None
7239
 
7240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7241
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7242
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7243
Major changes:
7244
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7245
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7246
    ie:
7247
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7248
 
7249
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7250
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7251
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7252
    environments are compatible.
7253
 
7254
 
7255
Minor changes:
7256
  * BuildName option
7257
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7258
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7259
 
7260
  * jats.bat
7261
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7262
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7263
 
7264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7265
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7267
Major changes:
7268
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7269
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7270
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7271
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7272
 
7273
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7274
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7275
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7276
 
7277
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7278
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7279
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7280
 
7281
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7282
    transferred.
7283
 
7284
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7285
    See notes below.
7286
 
7287
  * WIN32 toolset
7288
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7289
    correctly.
7290
 
7291
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7292
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7293
 
7294
  * BuildVersion
7295
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7296
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7297
    other langauges as needed.
7298
 
7299
 
7300
Minor changes:
7301
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7302
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7303
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7304
    version strings.
7305
 
7306
  * GenerateFiles directive
7307
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7308
    package or an imported package.
7309
 
7310
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7311
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7312
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7313
 
7314
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7315
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7316
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7317
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7318
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7319
 
7320
Internal Changes
7321
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7322
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7323
    of utilities.
7324
 
7325
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7326
    functions.
7327
 
7328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7329
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7331
Major changes:
7332
  * Generated makefiles
7333
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7334
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7335
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7336
 
7337
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7338
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7339
    incorrectly processing:
7340
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7341
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7342
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7343
    confused.
7344
 
7345
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7346
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7347
    The construct
7348
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7349
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7350
    then it works.
7351
 
7352
  * MakeAnt directive
7353
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7354
 
7355
    This option has the following effects
7356
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7357
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7358
 
7359
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7360
           early - in the generated files phase.
7361
 
7362
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7363
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7364
 
7365
 
7366
Minor changes:
7367
  * JATS post-installation script
7368
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7369
 
7370
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7371
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7372
    windows.
7373
 
7374
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7375
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7376
 
7377
  * Jats wrapper script
7378
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7379
        1) Contain spaces
7380
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7381
 
7382
  * Toolset
7383
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7384
 
7385
  * JAVA toolset
7386
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7387
    directive:
7388
 
7389
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7390
 
7391
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7392
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7393
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7394
 
7395
  * GCC Toolset
7396
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7397
 
7398
  * Makefile generation
7399
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7400
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7401
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7402
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7403
    package could not be used.
7404
 
7405
  * Unit Tests
7406
    The following environment variables are set:
7407
 
7408
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7409
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7410
 
7411
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7412
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7413
 
7414
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7415
 
7416
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7417
 
7418
 
7419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7420
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7422
Major changes:
7423
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7424
 
7425
    Special features of this toolset.
7426
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7427
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7428
       incorporated within the target image.
7429
 
7430
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7431
       --Set=Name=Value
7432
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7433
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7434
 
7435
       --Ref=name
7436
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7437
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7438
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7439
                will be taken from the build version number.
7440
 
7441
Minor changes:
7442
  * MOS Toolset
7443
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7444
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7445
    packaged.
7446
 
7447
  * Src directive
7448
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7449
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7450
    specifier.
7451
 
7452
  * WIN32 runtime support
7453
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7454
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7455
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7456
 
7457
Internal:
7458
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7459
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7460
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7461
 
7462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7463
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7464
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7465
Major changes:
7466
    * BuildAlias directive
7467
      Added options.
7468
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7469
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7470
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7471
                          targets.
7472
      Eg:
7473
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7474
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7475
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7476
 
7477
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7478
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7479
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7480
 
7481
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7482
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7483
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7484
 
7485
 
7486
Minor changes:
7487
  * Label utility
7488
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7489
    build.pl file
7490
 
7491
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7492
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7493
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7494
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7495
    --FilterIn option.
7496
 
7497
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7498
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7499
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7500
 
7501
  * Location of descpkg file
7502
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7503
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7504
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7505
 
7506
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7507
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7508
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7509
Major changes:
7510
  * RunTest directive
7511
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7512
    Additional options
7513
      --CopyIn=file
7514
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7515
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7516
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7517
        the test area.
7518
 
7519
    Additional operations
7520
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7521
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7522
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7523
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7524
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7525
    Allows flags:
7526
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7527
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7528
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7529
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7530
 
7531
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7532
    existence is tested.
7533
 
7534
  * Packaging Directives
7535
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7536
    such as LMOS.
7537
 
7538
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7539
 
7540
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7541
 
7542
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7543
 
7544
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7545
 
7546
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7547
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7548
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7549
 
7550
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7551
 
7552
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7553
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7554
 
7555
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7556
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7557
 
7558
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7559
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7560
 
7561
Minor changes:
7562
  * Script directive
7563
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7564
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7565
 
7566
  * JATS environment
7567
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7568
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7569
    the JATS wrapper script.
7570
 
7571
  * Label utility
7572
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7573
    There are three modes of operation:
7574
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7575
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7576
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7577
 
7578
 
7579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7580
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7582
Major changes:
7583
 
7584
Minor changes:
7585
  * label utility
7586
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7587
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7588
 
7589
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7590
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7591
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7592
      --ProgLoader=name
7593
 
7594
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7595
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7596
    Options to do this are:
7597
        --TreeDir=name
7598
        --FilterOut=regexp
7599
        --FilterIn=regexp
7600
        --StripDir
7601
 
7602
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7603
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7604
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7605
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7606
 
7607
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7608
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7609
 
7610
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7611
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7612
 
7613
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7614
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7615
 
7616
 
7617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7618
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7620
Major changes:
7621
    * Make commands
7622
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7623
 
7624
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7625
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7626
 
7627
    * Label utility
7628
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7629
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7630
 
7631
Minor changes:
7632
    * Toolsets
7633
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7634
      variables and overrides.
7635
 
7636
      The make_init target is always run.
7637
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7638
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7639
 
7640
    * Deployment
7641
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7642
      with deployment operations.
7643
 
7644
    * Release utility
7645
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7646
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7647
      restricted by options within the build.
7648
 
7649
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7650
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7651
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7652
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7653
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7654
 
7655
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7656
      directives.
7657
 
7658
    * MakeProject directive
7659
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7660
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7661
 
7662
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7663
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7664
      is preserved.
7665
 
7666
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7667
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7668
      statements.
7669
 
7670
    * Mugfile generation
7671
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7672
      be placed in the target package.
7673
 
7674
 
7675
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7676
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7678
Major changes:
7679
    * BuildVersion directive
7680
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7681
      number as well as a patch number.
7682
 
7683
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7684
      number.
7685
 
7686
Minor changes:
7687
    * AddFlags directives
7688
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7689
      duplicate flags being added.
7690
 
7691
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7692
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7693
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7694
 
7695
    * Mug File Generation
7696
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7697
 
7698
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7699
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7700
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7701
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7702
     directory.
7703
 
7704
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7705
     reproducible.
7706
 
7707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7708
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7710
Major changes:
7711
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7712
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7713
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7714
      longer a list of directories.
7715
 
7716
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7717
      done within the toolset.
7718
 
7719
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7720
 
7721
    * JATS environment variables
7722
      Redefined variable
7723
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7724
                          Previously was a list that included the
7725
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7726
 
7727
      New variable
7728
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7729
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7730
 
7731
 
7732
Minor changes:
7733
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7734
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7735
      target platforms to be extracted.
7736
 
7737
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7738
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7739
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7740
 
7741
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7742
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7743
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7744
 
7745
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7746
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7747
 
7748
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7749
      Support ANT based XML files
7750
 
7751
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7752
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7753
      structure.
7754
 
7755
    * makefile.pl's
7756
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7757
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7758
 
7759
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7760
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7761
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7762
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7763
 
7764
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7765
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7766
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7767
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7768
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7769
      -- Auto.
7770
 
7771
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7772
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7773
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7774
 
7775
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7776
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7777
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7778
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7779
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7780
 
7781
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7782
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7783
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7784
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7785
      installed on the machine.
7786
 
7787
    * WINCE Targets
7788
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7789
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7790
 
7791
 
7792
 
7793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7794
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7796
Major changes:
7797
    * WIN32 platforms
7798
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7799
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7800
      and installed packages.
7801
 
7802
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7803
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7804
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7805
 
7806
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7807
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7808
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7809
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7810
      searched when looking for libraries.
7811
 
7812
Minor changes:
7813
    * GenerateFiles directive
7814
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7815
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7816
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7817
                          and drive letter
7818
 
7819
    * Src directive
7820
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7821
      directory of a package.
7822
 
7823
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7824
 
7825
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7826
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7827
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7828
 
7829
    * jats_rewrite utility
7830
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7831
 
7832
 
7833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7834
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7836
Major changes:
7837
    * SunWorks production builds
7838
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7839
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7840
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7841
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7842
      compiler documentation.
7843
 
7844
    * MOS Toolset
7845
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7846
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7847
 
7848
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7849
 
7850
Minor changes:
7851
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7852
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7853
      This should not affect current users.
7854
 
7855
    * Mugfile generation
7856
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7857
      specified.
7858
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7859
 
7860
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7861
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7863
Major changes:
7864
    MOS Toolset
7865
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7866
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7867
 
7868
Minor changes:
7869
    * Jats wrapper script
7870
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7871
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7872
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7873
 
7874
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7875
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7876
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7877
      may be suspect.
7878
 
7879
    * GenerateFiles directive
7880
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7881
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7882
 
7883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7884
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7886
Major changes:
7887
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7888
      build.xml files.
7889
 
7890
Minor changes:
7891
    * WIN32 toolset.
7892
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7893
 
7894
    * MakeAnt
7895
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7896
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7897
 
7898
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7899
 
7900
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7901
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7902
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7903
 
7904
    * MakeAnt directive
7905
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7906
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7907
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7908
 
7909
      Recommended usage:
7910
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7911
 
7912
Internal Changes
7913
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7914

7917
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7919
Major changes:
7920
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7921
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7922
      files packaged into the release.
7923
 
7924
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7925
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7928
 
7929
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7930
      The recommended platform is:
7931
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7932
 
7933
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7934
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7935
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7936
      components.
7937
 
7938
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
7939

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildSmallJavaComponents
7942
 
7943
Minor changes:
7944
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7945
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7946
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7947
      by the package to be accessed.
7948
 
7949
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7950
      application or visual studio.
7951
 
7952
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7953
      and the JATS Core path.
7954
 
7955
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7956
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7957
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7958
 
7959
    * MOS Toolset
7960
      Add support for the TPT device
7961
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7962
 
7963
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7964
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7965
 
7966
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7967
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7968
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7969
 
7970
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7971
 
7972
Internal Changes
7973
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7974
      in jats.pl
7975
 
7976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7977
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7979
Major changes:
7980
    * JATS wrapper script
7981
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7982
 
7983
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7984
 
7985
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7986
 
7987
Minor changes:
7988
    * Deployment support
7989
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7990
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7991
 
7992
    * 'build'
7993
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
7994
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
7995
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
7996
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
7997
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
7998
 
7999
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8000
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8001
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8002
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8003
                                      the link phase.
8004
 
8005
    * BuildPkgArchive
8006
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8007
      Previously these were ignored.
8008
      Minor code cleanup
8009
 
8010
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8011
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8012
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8013
 
8014
    * SOLARIS targets
8015
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8016
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8017
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8018
 
8019
    * MugFile generation
8020
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8021
      included in the final package.
8022
 
8023
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8024
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8025
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8026
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8027
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8028
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8029
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8030
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8031
 
8032
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8033
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8034
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8035
            --Option=(some_text)
8036
            --Option=[some_text]
8037
            --Option={some_text}
8038
 
8039
Internal Changes
8040
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8041
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8042
      code.
8043
 
8044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8045
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8046
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8047
Major changes:
8048
    * JATS wrapper script
8049
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8050
 
8051
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8052
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8053
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8054
      other components.
8055
 
8056
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8057
 
8058
    * JATS
8059
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8060
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8061
 
8062
    * Build operations
8063
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8064
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8065
      packages.
8066
 
8067
    * Make operations
8068
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8069
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8070
 
8071
Minor changes:
8072
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8073
      deployment builds.
8074
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8075
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8076
 
8077
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8078
 
8079
    * build.pl
8080
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8081
        processed. Allows
8082
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8083
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8084
        production.
8085
 
8086
    * MOS toolset
8087
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8088
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8089
 
8090
    * create_dpkg utility
8091
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8092
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8093
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8094
      progress of the build.
8095
 
8096
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8097
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8098
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8099
      system.
8100

8102
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8104
Major changes:
8105
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8106
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8107
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8108
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8109
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8110
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8111
 
8112
    * WCEX86A500 target
8113
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8114
 
8115
    * MOS Toolsets
8116
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8117
      the compiler.
8118
 
8119
    * RunTest directive
8120
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8121
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8122
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8123
 
8124
Minor changes:
8125
    * JATS BUILD
8126
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8127
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8128
      highlight bad settings.
8129
 
8130
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8131
      access to extensions.

8137
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8138
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8139
 
8140
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8141
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8142
      under unix.
8143
 
8144
Minor changes:
8145
    * label utility
8146
      Added options to:
8147
        o Delete a label
8148
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8149
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8150
 
8151
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8152
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8153
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8154
      Package directives.
8155
 
8156
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8157
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8158
      system.
8159

8161
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8163
Major changes:
8164
    * MOS Toolset
8165
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8166
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8167
 
8168
    * WIN32 Toolset
8169
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8170
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8171
      list.
8172
 
8173
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8174
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8175
 
8176
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8177
 
8178
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8179
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8180
 
8181
 
8182
Minor changes:
8183
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8184
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8185
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8186
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8187
      corrected.
8188
 
8189
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8190
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8191
 
8192
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8193
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8194
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8195

8197
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8199
Major changes:
8200
    * WIN32 Toolset
8201
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8202
      use with multithreaded modes.
8203
 
8204
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8205
      --OnlyProd.
8206
 
8207
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8208
      within the makefile.pl.
8209
 
8210
Minor changes:
8211
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8212
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8213
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8214
      platforms.
8215
 
8216
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8217
 
8218

8219
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8220
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8221
Major changes:
8222
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8223
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8224
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8225
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8226
 
8227
    * Preliminary Support
8228
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8229
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8230
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8231
 
8232
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8233
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8234
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8235
 
8236
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8237
      building. The default build will build both.
8238
 
8239
Minor changes:
8240
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8241
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8242
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8243
 
8244
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8245
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8246
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8247
 
8248
 
8249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8250
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8252
Major changes:
8253
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8254
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8255
      or all.
8256
 
8257
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8258
      the library or program.
8259
 
8260
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8261
 
8262
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8263
      library or any debug files.
8264
 
8265
    * GenerateFiles
8266
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8267
 
8268
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8269
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8270
 
8271
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8272
              The filename of the prereq file
8273
 
8274
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8275
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8276
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8277
 
8278
 
8279
Minor changes:
8280
    * create_dpkg utility
8281
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8282
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8283
      the package has been altered.
8284

8288
Major changes:
8289
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8290
      This is a WINCE target
8291
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8292
 
8293
    * New toolset
8294
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8295
 
8296
    * Modified toolset
8297
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8298
 
8299
    * Modified toolset
8300
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8301
 
8302
Minor changes:
8303
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8304
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8305
 
8306
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8307
 
8308
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8309
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8310
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8311
 
8312
      The change allows the construct
8313
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8314
      to be replaced by the simpler
8315
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8316
 
8317
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8318
      specified name.    
8319

8338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8339
Major changes:
8340
    * The "package.pl" file.
8341
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8342
      package name being taken from the build name
8343
 
8344
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8345
      package Build Name.
8346
 
8347
Minor changes:
8348
    * create_dpkg utility
8349
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8350
 
8351

8354
Major changes:
8355
 
8356
Minor changes:
8357
    * Dependancy generator
8358
      Correct two common situations
8359
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8360
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8361
           ansi, but is often done.
8362
 
8363
    * GCC toolset
8364
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8365
      being created in the correct place.
8366
 
8367
    * jats "label"
8368
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8369
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8370
 
8371
 
8372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8373
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8374
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8375
Major changes:
8376
 
8377
Minor changes:
8378
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8379
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8380
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8381
 
8382
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8383
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8384
 
8385
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8386
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8387
      package was not being transferred.
8388
 
8389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8390
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8392
Major changes:
8393
    * Support for solaris_i386
8394
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8395
      binaries for this target.
8396
 
8397
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8398
      with the GCC compiler.
8399
 
8400
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8401
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8402
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8403
 
8404
Minor changes:
8405
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8406
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8407
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8408
 
8409
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8410
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8411
 
8412
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8413
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8414
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8415
Major changes:
8416
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8417
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8418
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8419
 
8420
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8421
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8422
 
8423
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8424
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8425
      with either " or ' characters.
8426
 
8427
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8428
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8429
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8430
 
8431
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8432
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8433
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8434
 
8435
    * Jats wrapper
8436
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8437
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8438
      further commands.
8439
 
8440
Minor changes:
8441
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8442
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8443
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8444
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8445
 
8446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8447
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8449
Major changes:
8450
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8451
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8452
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8453
 
8454
      These options operation affect all components within the
8455
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8456
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8457
 
8458
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8459
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8460
 
8461
Minor changes:

8464
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8466
Major changes:
8467
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8468
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8469
 
8470
Minor changes:
8471
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8472
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8473
 
8474
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8475
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8476
 
8477
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8478
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8480
Major changes:
8481
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8482
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8483
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8484
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8485
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8486
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8487
      installed.
8488
 
8489
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8490
      libraries that depend on each other.
8491
 
8492
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8493
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8494
 
8495
Minor changes:
8496
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8497
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8498
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8499
 
8500
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8501
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8502
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8503
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8504

Major changes:
8509
 
8510
Minor changes:
8511
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8512
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8513
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8514
      file.
8515
 
8516
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8517
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8518
 
8519
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8520
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8521
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8522
 
8523
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8524
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8525
 
8526
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8527
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8528
 
8529
    * WinCE toolsets
8530
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8531
      compiler specific libraries.
8532
 
8533
    * SOLARIS toolset
8534
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8535
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8536
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8537
 
8538
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8539
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8540
      cleaned up.
8541
 
8542
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8543
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8544
 
8545
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8546
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8547
      with either " or ' characters.
8548
 
8549

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8551
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8552
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8553
Major changes:
8554
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8555
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8556
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8557
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8558
 
8559
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8560
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8561
 
8562
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8563
      user.
8564
 
8565
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8566
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8567
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8568
 
8569
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8570
      for the   -Gf option.
8571
 
8572
Minor changes:
8573
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8574
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8575
 
8576
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8577
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8578
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8579
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8580
 
8581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8582
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8583
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8584
Major changes:
8585
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8586
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8587
 
8588
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8589
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8590
      data addresses for the board.
8591
 
8592
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8593
 
8594
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8595
 
8596
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8597
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8598
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8599
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8600
         PackageFile
8601
 
8602
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8603
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8604
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8605
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8606
 
8607
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8608
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8609
      to be installed and packaged.
8610
 
8611
Minor changes:
8612
 
8613
    * cache_dpkg utility
8614
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8615
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8616
 
8617
    * label utility
8618
      New option -auto to create and label
8619
 
8620
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8621
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8622
 
8623
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8624
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8625
      directory. ie:
8626
 
8627
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8628
 
8629
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8630
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8631
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8632
 
8633
 
8634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8635
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8637
Major changes:
8638
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8639
 
8640
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8641
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8642
 
8643
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8644
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8645
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8646
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8647
 
8648
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8649
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8650
      compilation.
8651
 
8652
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8653
 
8654
Minor changes:
8655
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8656
      one is being produced.
8657
 
8658
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8659
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8660
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8661
 
8662
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8663
 
8664
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8665
 
8666
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8667
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8668
 
8669
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8670
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8671
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8672
Major changes:
8673
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8674
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8675
 
8676
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8677
 
8678
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8679
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8680
      same directory
8681
 
8682
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8683
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8684
      documenattion.
8685
 
8686
Minor changes:
8687
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8688
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8689
 
8690
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8691
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8692
 
8693
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8694
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8695
 
8696
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8697
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8698
 
8699
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8700
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8701
      be exempt from this test.
8702
 
8703
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8704
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8705
 
8706
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8707
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8708
 
8709
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8710
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8711
      does.
8712
 
8713
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8714
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8715
 
8716
 
8717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8718
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8719
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8720
Major changes:
8721
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8722
 
8723
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8724
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8725
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8726
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8727
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8728
 
8729
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8730
      operations.
8731
 
8732
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8733
 
8734
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8735
 
8736
Minor changes
8737
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8738
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8739
 
8740
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8741
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8742
      directory is not added to the library path.
8743
 
8744
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8745
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8746
 
8747
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8748
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8749
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8750
 
8751
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8752
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8753
      specific flags.
8754
 
8755
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8756
 
8757
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8758
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8759
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8760
 
8761
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8762
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8763
      JATS.
8764
 
8765
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8766
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8767
 
8768
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8769
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8770
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8771
 
8772
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8773
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8774
 
8775
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8776
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8777
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8778
 
8779
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8780
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8781
 
8782
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8783
 
8784
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8785
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8786
 
8787
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8788
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8789
      objects.
8790
 
8791
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8792
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8793
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8794
      build defendants.
