793
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
794
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
795
 
796
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
797
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
798
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
799
      Examples: 
800
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
801
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
802
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
803
 
804
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
805
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
806
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
807
 
808
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
809
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
810
      build system.
811
 
812
Experimental:
813
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
814
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
815
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
821
 
822
Minor changes:
823
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
824
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
825
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
830
 
831
Minor changes:
832
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
833
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
834
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
835
 
836
    * Build Files
837
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
838
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
839
 
840
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
841
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
842
 
843
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
844
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
845
 
846
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
847
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
848
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
849
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
850
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
851
 
852
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
853
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
854
     different architectures.
855
 
856
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
857
     are directed to one or more machines.
858
 
859
     Intended uses:
860
        Windows: Creating installers. 
861
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
862
 
863
       All: Specialized packaging.
864
 
865
    * Makefiles
866
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
867
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
868
      Eg:
869
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
870
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
871
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
872
      It could also have been written as:
873
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
874
      but NOT as:
875
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
876
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
877
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
878
 
879
    * Utility: sandbox
880
      Subcommand info 
881
        - Added option to test fingerprints

890
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
891
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
892
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
893
 
894
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
895
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
896
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
897
 
898
    * GenerateFiles directive
899
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
900

918
 
919
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
920
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
921
 
922
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
923
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
924
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
925
      machine may build the toolset.
926
 
927
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
928
      platform.

      the build system is split across multiple machines.
950
 
951
    * Utility: escrow
952
      Added -skim option
953
 
954
    * Utility: sandbox
955
      Many improvements:
956
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
957
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
958
 
959
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
960
 
961
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
962
        if an error is detected.
963
 
964
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
965
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
966
 
967
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
968
        skipped during the build.
969
 
970
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
978
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
979
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
980
 
981
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
982
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1096
 
1097
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1098
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1099
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.

      the library: link and soname.
1163
      When the shared library is Installed or Packaged the symlink was not

    * New build Alias - NATIVE
1860
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
1861
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1862
 
1863
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
1864
      for automated unit tests.

1890
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1891
 
1892
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1893
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1894

    * Jats caching
1898
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1899
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

1925
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1926
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1927

      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1930
 
1931
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh

4036 dpurdie 2200
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 2201
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
2202
 
2203
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
2204
      Specifically implemented to allow Android
2205
 
2206
Minor changes:
2207
    * BuildName directive
2208
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
2209
 
2210
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 2211
      Fixed use of a 'buildfilter' file in the sandbox directory.

Major changes:
2221
 
2222
Minor changes:
2223
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2224
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2225
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2226
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2227
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2228
 
2229
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2230
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Minor changes:
2238
    * Utility: update_release
2239
      Added options:
2240
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2241
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2242
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2243
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2244
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2245
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2246
 
2247
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2248
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2249
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2250
 
2251
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2252
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2257
Major changes:
2258
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2259
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2260
      intended to build deployed software.
2261
 
2262
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2263
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2264
 
2265
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2266
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2267
 
2268
Minor changes:
2269
    * Jats wrapper script
2270
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2271
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2272
      Subversion instance of the command.
2273
 
2274
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2275
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2276
 
2277
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2278
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2279
 
2280
    * Utility: jats upddep
2281
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2282
      file under windows.
2283
 
2284
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2285
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2286
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2287
 
2288
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2289
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2290
 
2291
    * GCC Toolchain
2292
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

2308
Major changes:
2309
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2310
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2311
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2312
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2313
 
2314
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2315
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2325
Minor changes:
2326
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2327
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2328
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2329
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2330
      line.
2331
 
2332
    * Jats Configuration
2333
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2334
 
2335
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2336
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2337
      and Linux.
2338
 
2339
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2340
      correctly rippled.

2347
Minor changes:
2348
    * Jats Core
2349
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2350
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2351
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2352
 
2353
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2354
      Used only by the build daemons.
2355
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2356
 
2357
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2358
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2359
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2364
Major changes:
2365
 
2366
Minor changes:
2367
    * svnrelease utility
2368
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2369
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2370
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2371
 
2372
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2373
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2374
      the named tag.
2375
 
2376
    * svnrelease utility
2377
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2378
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
2389
        covered by the makefile.
2390
 
2391
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2392
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2393
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2394
 
2395
    * ALL Toolsets
2396
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2397
 
2398
    * Utility vcsdiff
2399
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2400
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2401
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2409
    * Subversion Extraction
2410
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2411
      directory of the tag.
2412
 
2413
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2414
      repository.
2415
 
2416
    * Subversion Support
2417
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2418
      showing the user what to do.
2419
 
2420
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2421
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2422
      we have build support for this target.
2423
 
2424
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2425
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2426
 
2427
Internal:
2428
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2429
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2430
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2431
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
2448
    * Makefile generation
2449
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2450
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2451
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2452
      of warnings.
2453
 
2454
    * Makefile Generation
2455
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2464
Major changes:
2465
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2466
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2467
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2468
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2469
 
2470
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2471
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2472
      windows path scheme.
2473
 
2474
Minor changes:
2475
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2476
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2477
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2478
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2479
 
2480
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2481
        jats make clobber
2482
      This operates as before.
2483
 
2484
    * Utility: escrow
2485
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2486
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2487
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2488
 
2489
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2490
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2491
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2492
 
2493
    * Utility: svn : url
2494
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2495
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2496
 
2497
    * Utility: svn : import
2498
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2499
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2500
 
2501
    * Subversion Support
2502
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2503
      showing the user what to do.
2504
 
2505
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2506
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2507
      repositories.

2512
 
2513
Minor changes:
2514
    * Jats build
2515
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2516
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2517
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2518
 
2519
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2520
      command, with a sandbox.

2530
      Added two subcommands
2531
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2532
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2533
                 Can also display available branches.
2534
 
2054 dpurdie 2535
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2541
 
2542
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2543
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2544
      Modified two options:
2545
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2546
                        The named branch must not exist
2547
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2548
                        The named branch must exist
2549
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2558
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2559
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2560
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2584
Major changes:
2585
    * Jats Version Number
2586
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2614
 
2615
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2616
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.

2618
 
2619
    * Linux support utilities
2620

2626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2627
Major changes:
2628
    * Subversion Repository location
2629
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2630
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2631
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2632
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

2634
 
2635
Minor changes:
2636
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2637
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2638
 
2639
    * Utility: svnrelease
2640
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2641
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2642
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2643
 
2644
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2645
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2646
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2647
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2648
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2649
 
2650
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2651
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2652
 
2653
    * Utility: sandbox
2654
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2655
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2656
 
2657
      Subcommand: populate
2658
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2659
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2660
      sandbox.
2661
 
2662
    * Subversion Support
2663
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2664
      repository is not supported.
2665
 
2666
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2667
      a progress indication.
2668
 
2669
    * Jats Online Documentation
2670
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2671
      online documentation.
2672
 
2673
    * Generated makefiles
2674
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2722
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2723
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2724
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2725
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2726
 
2727

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2751
Major changes:
2752
 
2753
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2754
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2755
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2756
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2757
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2758
 
2759
    * C# Toolchain
2760

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2772
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2773
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2774
 
2775
    * Utility ccrelease
2776
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2777
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2778
 
2779
    * Utility: svn
2780
      Improved package import processing.
2781
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2809
Major changes:
2810
 
2811
Minor changes:
2812
    * Command: jats clobber
2813
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2814
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2815
 
2816
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2817
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2818
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2819
 
2820
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2821
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2822
 
377 dpurdie 2823
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2824
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2825
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2826
 
2827
    * jats svnlabel
2828
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2829
 
2830
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2831
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2832
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2833
 
2834
    * Built Daemon support
2835
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2836
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2837

373 dpurdie 2839
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2840
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2841
Major changes:
2842
    * GCC Toolset
2843
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2844
      New methodology is:
2845
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2846
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2847
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2848
        as the main binary.
2849
 
2850
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2851
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2852
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2853
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2854
      both worlds.
2855
 
2856
Minor changes:
2857
    * HTML Documentation
2858
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2859
 
2860
Internal changes:
2861
    * Generated makefiles

2863
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
2864

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2868
Major changes:
2869
    * Jats Sandbox
2870
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2871
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2872
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2873
 
2874
    * RIORDS Platform
2875

2898
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2899
 
2900
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2901
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2902
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within

2980
Major changes:
2981
    * New toolset: ARM251
2982
 
2983
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
2984

2985
 
2986
Minor changes:
2987
    * HTML Help
2988
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2989
 
2990
    * jats build -noforce
2991
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
2992
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
2993
      be forced.
2994
 
2995
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
2996
 
2997
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2998
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
2999
 
3000
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3001
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3002
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3003
 
3004
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3005
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3006
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3007
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3008
 
3009
    * Utility: svnrelease
3010
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3011
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

3014
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3015
 
3016
    * Utility: svn
3017
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3018
      installed and can be used.
3019
 
3020
    * Toolset: CSharp
3021
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3022
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3023
      character.
3024
 
3025
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3026
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3027
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3028
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3029
      masking an error.
3030
 
3031
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3032
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3033
      enhancement.

3035
    * Toolset: dafbr
3036
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

3040
        - Return correct path to package
3041
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3042
 
3043
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3044
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3045
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3046
 
3047
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3048
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3049
      packages.
3050
 
3051
    * make command: show
3052
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3053
      'jats make show' command.
3054
 
3055
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3056
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3057
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3058
 
3059
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3060
      executed on Unix machines.

3351
      Support for the ARM926EJS based hardware.
3352
      This is a Linux based target.
3353
      Requires a new compiler to be installed into build machines
3354
 
3355
Minor changes:
3356
    * Jats sandbox command
3357
      Basic support for the 'cache' command.
3358
      Allows external dependent packages to be cached for disconnected
3359
      development.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3364
Major changes:
3365
    * [DEVI-062103]
3366
      Many (11) toolsets - all that generate linker dependency
3367
      files for creating shared libraries or programs.
3368
        Solaris, Gcc, WIN32, Wince, MOS, Verix, Keil, AVR_IAR,
3369
        CSHARP, MCR, Pharlap.
3370
 
3371
      Better, simpler, and in some cases correct, generation
3372
      of dependency files used in linking. Also generate separate
3373
      files for Production and Debug builds.
3374
 
3375
Minor changes:
3376
    * Jats sandbox command
3377
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
3378
      found in any of the the package archives.
3379
 
3380
    * Jats release -extract
3381
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
3382
      describes:
3383
        - the directory in which the user created the view
3384
        - the date of creation
3385
 
3386
    * PackageFile directive
3387
      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
3388
 
3389
Internal:
3390
    * PackageFile, PackageHdr and InstallHdr directives
3391

Major changes:
3398
 
3399
Minor changes:
3400
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3401
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3402
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3403
      resulting in multiple builds.
3404
 
3405
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3406
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3407
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3408
 
3409
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3410
 
3411
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3412
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3413
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

331 dpurdie 3416
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
3417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3418
Major changes:
3419
 
3420
Minor changes:
3421
    * Jats label command
3422
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3423
      Not recommended for general use.
3424
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3425
      directories within the current view.
3426
 
3427
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3428
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3429
      elsewhere.
3430
 
3431
    * Jats save_build
3432
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3433
      the determination of a branch.
3434
 
3435
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3436
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3437
 
3438
    * Jats build
3439
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3440
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3441
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3442
 
3443
    * Borland6 toolset
3444
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3445
      to match the documented install location of:
3446
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3447
 
3448
    * Jats build
3449
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3450
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3451
      This is a very quick operation.
3452
 
3453
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3454
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3455
 
3456
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3457
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3458
      files are only recreated if need be.
3459
 
3460
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3461
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3462
      make the package.
3463
 
3464
    * Jats sandbox
3465
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3466
 
3467
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3468
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3469
 
3470
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3471
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3472
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3473
      is performed.
3474
 
3475
Internal:
3476
    * build.pl
3477
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

3511
Minor changes:
3512
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3513
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3514
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3515
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3516
 
3517
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3518
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3519
 
3520
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3521
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3522
      platform builds.
3523
 
3524
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3525
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3526
      directory tree.
3527
 
3528
    * New command: jats man
3529
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3530
 
3531
Internal changes:
3532
    * jats upddep
3533
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3534
 
3535
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3536
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined

3541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3542
Major changes:
3543
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3544
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3545
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3546
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3547
 
3548
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3549
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3550
 
3551
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3552
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3553
 
3554
      Examples:
3555
            jats upddep -show
3556
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3557
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3558
 
3559
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3560
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3561
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3562
 
3563
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3564
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3565
 
3566
Minor changes:
3567
 
3568
Internal changes:
3569
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3575
Major changes:
3576
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3577
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3578
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3579
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3580
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3581
      stream.
3582
 
3583
      Example:
3584
 
3585
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3586
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3587
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3588
                     );
3589
Minor changes:
3590
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3591
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3592
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3593
      directive.
3594
 
3595
    * GCC Toolkit
3596
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3597
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3598
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3599
      the point of termination.
3600
 
3601
    * Jats save_build utility
3602
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3603
      under windows.
3604
 
3605
    * Jats sandbox
3606
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3607
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3608
      in different sandboxes.
3609
 
3610
    * Jats release
3611
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3612

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3620
      Added -locatedir=name
3621
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3622
      directory.
3623
 
3624
    * jats label utility
3625
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3626
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3627
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3628
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3629
 
3630
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3631

Minor changes:
3638
    * WinCe Toolsets
3639
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3640
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3641
        noExceptions            - Disable
3642
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3643
      Example:
3644
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3645
 
3646
    * Solaris targets
3647
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3648
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3649
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3650
      machine type.

3654
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3655
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3656
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3657
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3658
      project files.
3659
 
3660
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3661
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3662
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3663
 
3664
Minor changes:
3665
    * Added more internal documentation
3666
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3667
 
3668
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3669
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3670
 
3671
    * Jats save_build utility
3672
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3673
      under windows.
3674
 
3675
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3676
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3677
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3678
      libraries.
3679
 
3680
    * Solaris builds
3681
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3682
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3683
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3684
      of the build failure.
3685
 
3686
 
3687
Internal changes:
3688
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3689
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3690
 
3691
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3692
      PkgArchive topics.

3699
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3700
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3701
      existing 32-bit builds.
3702
 
3703
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

3708
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3709
 
3710
    * Package searching
3711
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3712
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3713
 
3714
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3715
 
3716
    * jats help
3717
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3718
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3719
 
3720
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3721
      with one of:
3722
        jats -h
3723
        jats help jats
3724
 
3725
Internal:
3726
    * cmdfile utility
3727
      Added macros:
3728
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3729
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3730
 
3731
      Corrected

3744
Major changes:
3745
 
3746
Minor changes:
3747
 
3748
Internal changes
3749
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3750
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3751
      Useful side effects include:
3752
 
3753
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3754
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3755
 
3756
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3757
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3758
 
3759
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3760
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3761
        BuildPkgArchive
3762
 
313 dpurdie 3763
    * Perl Modules
3764
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3765
      release. This will:
3766
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3767
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3768
          reported by ERG.
3769
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3774
Major changes:
3775
 
3776
Minor changes:
3777
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3778
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3779
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3780
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3781
 
3782
    * Jats label utility
3783
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3784
 
3785
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3786
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3787
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3788
 
3789
    * Jats core
3790
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3791
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3792
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3801
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3802
      This is now fixed.
3803
 
309 dpurdie 3804
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3805
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3806
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3807
 
3808
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3809
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
3818
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3819
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3820
      an error.
3821
 
3822
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3823
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3824
 
3825
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3826
      Highly specialized directive.

3832
Major changes:
3833
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3834
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3835
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3836
 
3837
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3838
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3839
 
3840
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3841
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3842
      Support includes
3843
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3844
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3845
 
3846
Minor changes:
3847
    * Build file processing
3848
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3849
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3850
 
3851
    * MOS builds
3852
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3853
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3854
 
3855
    * MOS builds
3856
      New 'known' product: PICP
3857
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3858
 
3859
    * GenerateFiles directive
3860
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3861
        under windows.
3862
 
3863
        .
3864
 
3865
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3866
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3867
 
3868
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3869
      to the output stream.
3870
 
3871
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3872
 
3873
    * Windows Shell
3874
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3875
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3876
 
3877
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3878
 
3879
    * H8S toolset
3880
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3881
 
3882
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3883
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3884
 
3885
Internal changes
3886
    * WinCe builds
3887
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3888
      content of the file.
3889
 
3890
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3891
 
3892
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3893
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3905
Major changes:
3906
 
3907
Minor changes:
3908
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3909
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3910
      Changes are transparent to users.
3911
 
3912
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3913
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3914
      this occurs.
3915
 
3916
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3917
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3918
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3919
      automated build framework.
3920
 
3921
    * jats sandbox command
3922
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3923
      'create' command.
3924
 
3925
    * jats command aliases. Added
3926
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3927
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

3932
Major changes:
3933
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3934
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3935
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3936
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3937
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3938
      will work as expected
3939
 
3940
Minor changes:
3941
    * VS2008 Toolset
3942
      Picking up incorrect config details
3943
      May result in a warning message.
3944
 
3945
    * gen_cots utility
3946
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3947
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3948
 
3949
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3950
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

3998
Major changes:
3999
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4000
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4001
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4002
 
4003
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4004
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4005
 
4006
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4007
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4008
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4009
           names cannot be changed.
4010
 
4011
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4012
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4013
 
4014
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4015
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4016
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4017
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4018
 
4019
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4020
      file.
4021
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4022
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4023
      MyPackage.dpk.
4024
 
4025
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4026
      file.
4027
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4028
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4029
      MyDll.dpr.
4030
 
4031
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4032
      file.
4033
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4034
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4035
      MyProg.dpr.
4036
 
4037
Minor changes:
4038
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4039
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4040
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4041
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4042
 
4043
    * BuildVersion directive
4044
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4045
      in a Delphi Unit.
4046
 
4047
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4048
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4049
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4050
      'know' the location of the files.
4051
 
4052
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4053
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4054
 
4055
Internal Changes:
4056
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4057
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4058
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4059
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4060
 
4061
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4062
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4063
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4067
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4068
Major changes:
4069
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4070
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4071
      information for purely C++ builds.
4072
 
289 dpurdie 4073
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4074
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4075
 
289 dpurdie 4076
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4077
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4078
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4079
 
4080
Minor changes:
4081
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4082
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4083
 
4084
    * updatenodespec utility
4085
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4086
      Manager database.

    * New command: jats make show
4124
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4125
      used in the build.
4126
 
4127
    * Escrow command
4128
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4129
 
4130
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4131
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4132
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4133
 
4134
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4135
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

4140
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4141
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4142
 
279 dpurdie 4143
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4144
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4145
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4146
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4147
 
4148
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4149
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4150
 
4151
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4152
 
4153
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4154
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4155
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4156
 
4157
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4158
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4159
        processed.
4160
 
4161
      Removed the '-delete' option
4162
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4163
 
277 dpurdie 4164
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4165
    * Sandbox command
4166
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4167
 
4168
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4169
      target from consideration in the build set.
4170
 
4171
    * MCR Toolset
4172
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4173
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4174
 
4175
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4176
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4177
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4178
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4179
 
4180
    * Jats run_test command
4181
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4182
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4183
 
4184
    * descpkg file
4185
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4186
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4187
 
4188
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4189
     Now contains build trace information
4190
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4191
 
4192
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4193
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4194
     it contains 'jar' files.
4195
 
4196
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4197
 
4198
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4199
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4200
 
4201
   * BuildVersion directive
4202
     Form:
4203
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4204
     now works as expected.
4205
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4206
 
4207
Internal Changes:

4372
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4373
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4374
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

4397
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4398
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4399
 
4400
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4401

4518
      New target and toolset: VERIX
4519
 
4520
    * Jats utility: jats_save_build
4521
      Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
4522
      from the Build Daemons.
4523
 
4524
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
4525
 
4526
      Suggested new usage:
4527
        jats etool jats_save_build
4528
                        -pname=xxxx
4529
                        -pversion=yyyy
4530
                        -infofile=path_name
4531
                        -locatepkg=zzzz     (Optional)
4532
                        -infile=aaaa        (Optional)
4533
                        -outfile=bbbb       (Optional)
4534
                        -wiplabel=ccccc     (Optional)
4535
 
4536
Minor changes:
4537
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
4538
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
4539
      artifacts.
4540
 
4541
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
4542
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
4543
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
4544
 
4545
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4546
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4547
      time.
4548
 
4549
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4550
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
4551
 
4552
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
4553
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
4554
      Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified 
4555
      within the package.
4556
 
4557
    * Jats utility: dstatus
4558
      Suppresses archived releases.
4559
      Shows release state
4560
 
4561
    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
4562
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
4563
 
4564
Internal Changes:
4565
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4566
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4567
      Previously was being done at two places
4568
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4569
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4570
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4571
 
4572
    * JATS make: Command line
4573
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4574
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
4575
 
4576
      It didn't work on all platforms.
4577
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
4578
 
4579
    * JATS command line
4580
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
4581
      to allow:
4582
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4583
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4584
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4585
 
4586
    * JATS makefile generation
4587
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
4588
      Improved readability of the generation process
4589
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
4590
      Removed dead code
4591
      Improved the creation of Progs
4592
 
4593
    * JATS error reporting
4594
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
4595
      problems.
4596
 
4597
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
4598
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
4599
 
4600
    * Assorted Perl files
4601
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
4602
 
4603
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
4604
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
4605
      makefiles
4606
 
4607
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
4608
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4609
 
4610
    * FileUtils package.
4611
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4612
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
4613
      Used functions within JATS.

Major changes:
4627
 
4628
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4629
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4630
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4631
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4632
 
4633
Minor changes:
4634
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4635
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4636
 
4637
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4638
      some windows tools.

4642
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4643
Major changes:
4644
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4645
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4646
 
4647
      New platforms:
4648
        CSHARP2005
4649
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4650
         Support extends to allow:
4651
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4652
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4653
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4654
 
4655
        VS2005
4656
         Support extends to allow:
4657
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4658
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4659
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4660
 
4661
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4662
      through a version selector:
4663
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4664
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4665
 
4666
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4667
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4668
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4669
 
4670
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4671
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4672
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4673
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4674
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4675
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4676
          under VS2005.
4677
 
4678
Minor changes:
4679
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4680
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4681
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4682
 
4683
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4684
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4685
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4686
 
4687
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4688
 
4689
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4690
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4691
 
4692
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4693
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4694
      a minimal value of perl.
4695
 
4696
      Removed excessive require statements.
4697
 
4698
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4699
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4700
      Include JATS specific files for
4701
        1) Windows
4702
        2) Linux
4703
 
4704
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4705
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4706
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4707
      machines.
4708
 
4709
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4710
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4711
 
4712
    * JATS Environment
4713
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4714
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4715
 
4716
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4717
      wrapper scripts.
4718
 
4719
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4720
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4721
      Spell check help and code.

      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
4745
      options are passed correctly.
4746
 
4747
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4748
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4749
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4750
      was added.
4751
 
4752
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4753
      reviewing a new package.
4754
 
4755
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4756
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4757
      automatically included in the source file list.
4758
 
253 dpurdie 4759

4772
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4774
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4775
  * New toolset and platform
4776
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4777
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4778
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4779
    this platform.
4780
 
4781
Minor changes:
4782
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4783
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4784
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4785
    work.
4786
 
4787
  * Jats utility: release
4788
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4789
    published to dpkg_archive.
4790
 
249 dpurdie 4791
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4792
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4793
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4794
    supported for ANT builds.
4795
 
4796
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4797
        releasemanager.releasename
4798
        releasemanager.projectname
4799
 
4800
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4801
    tagged data item of the form
4802
 
4803
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4804
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4805
 
4806
  * Mug File Generation
4807
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4808
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4809
 
4810
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4811
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4812
    required.
4813
 
4814
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4815
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4816
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4817
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4818
    the files in order to use them.
4819
 
4820
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4821
    locate the file.
4822
 
4823
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4824
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4825
 
4826
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4827
        * CSharp
4828
        * Properties
4829
        * WinRC
4830
 
4831
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4832
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4833
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4834
    Value is correctly assigned.
4835
 
4836

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4839
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4840
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4841
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4842
 
4843
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4844
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4845
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4846
 
4847
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4848
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4849
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4850
 
4851
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4852
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4853
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4854
 
4855
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4856
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4857
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4858
    correct.
4859
 
4860
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4861
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4862
 
4863
Minor changes:
4864
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4865
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4866
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4867
 
4868
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4869
    This will simplify new user setup.
4870
 
4871
  * All Unix Toolsets
4872
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4873
    on unix systems
4874
 
4875
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4876
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4877
    on some Solaris Machines.
4878
 
4879
  * JATS -version=<version>
4880
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4881
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4882
 
4883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4884
Version:  2.73.4000.cr                               Released: 10-Apr-08

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4886
Major changes:
243 dpurdie 4887
    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 4888
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 4889
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4890
 
4891
Minor changes:
4892
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4893
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4894
 
4895
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4896
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
4897
 
4898
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4899
      Does not work with LMOS
4900
 
4901
    * Readme.txt file
4902
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4903
 
4904
    * Misc Cleanup
4905

4935
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4936
                            SetList directive.

5039
    * MOS Compiler
5040
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5041
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5042
 
5043
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5044
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5045
      descpkg files to be copied.
5046
 
5047
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5048
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

5082
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5083
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5084
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5085
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5086
 
5087
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5088
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5089
 
5090
    * Jats wrapper
5091
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5092
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5097
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5098
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5099
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5100
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5101
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5102
 
5103
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5104
 
5105
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5106
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5107
 
5108
    * Running Jats
5109
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5110
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5111
      This may affect some windows developers.
5112
 
5113
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5114
      Future versions will generate an error.
5115
 
5116
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5117
 
5118
Minor changes:
5119
    * Perl Version Check
5120
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5121
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5122
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5123
 
5124
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5125
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5126
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5127
      build.
5128
 
5129
    * Jats Internals
5130
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5131
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5132
 
5133
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5134
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5135
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5136
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5137
      process.
5138
 
5139
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5140
      Only works under Windows.
5141
 
5142
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5143
 
5144
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5145
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5146
 
5147
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5148
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5149
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5150
 
5151
    * Jats eprog
5152
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5153
      directory.
5154
 
5155
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5156
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5157
      build metrics.
5158
 
5159

5162
Major changes:
5163
 
5164
Minor changes:
5165
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5166
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5167
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5168
      automated build system. New options are:
5169
        -pname=Package_Name
5170
        -pversion=Package_Version
5171
 
5172
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5173
      transferring the package. New options are:
5174
        -test
5175
 
5176
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5177
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5178
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5179
 
5180
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5181
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5182
 
5183
    * Solaris Toolset
5184
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5185
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5186
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5191
Major changes:
5192
 
5193
Minor changes:
5194
    * WINCE toolsets
5195
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5196
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5197
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5198
      when header files cannot be found.
5199
 
5200
    * GenerateFiles directive
5201
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5202
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5203
      that are difficult to solve.
5204
 
5205
    * MakePerlModule directive
5206
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5207
      to the the module builder.
5208
 
5209
    * Jats Tool: label
5210
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5211
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5212
      -dirs=xxx options.
5213
 
5214
    * Jats Tool: release
5215
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5216
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5217
 
5218
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5219
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5220
 
5221
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5222
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5223
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5224
 
5225
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

    * jats makefiles
5311
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5312
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5313
 
5314
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5315
      pl, then it will be ignored.

5317
    * gcc toolset
5318
      SharedLibries.
5319
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5320
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5321
 
5322
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5323
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5324
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5325
 
5326
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5327
        New options:
5328
            --MultiScan
5329
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5330
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5331
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5339
Minor changes:
5340
    PackageLib directive
5341
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5342
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5343
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5344
 
5345
    MakefileGenerate directive
5346
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5347
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5348
 
5349
    Multiple Parent detection
5350
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5351
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5352
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5353
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5354
 
5355
    Solaris Toolset
5356
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5357
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5358
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5359
    link.
5360
 
5361
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5362
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5363
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5364
 
5365
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5366
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5367
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5368
    file.

Version: 2.71.0.cr                                Released: 10-Oct-07
5372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5373
Major changes:
5374
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5375
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5376
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5377
 
5378
    Summary of changes:
5379
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5380
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5381
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5382
          flexibility.
5383
 
5384
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5385
 
5386
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5387
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5388
          interface directory and associated build information.
5389
 
5390
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5391
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5392
          than one second.
5393
 
5394
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5395
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5396
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5397
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5398
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5399
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5400
 
5401
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5402
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5403
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5404
 
5405
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5406
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5407
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5408
          building them.
5409
 
5410
        - Detection of build file changes
5411
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5412
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5413
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5414
 
5415
        - Quieter make output
5416
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5417
 
5418
 
5419
Minor changes:
5420
    MakeAnt Directive
5421
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5422
 
5423
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5424
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5425
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5426
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5427
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5428
 
5429
    CSHARP toolset
5430
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5431

5440
 
5441
    MakeAnt
5442
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5443
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5444
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5445
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.

    New option: --PackageBase
5459
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5460
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5461
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5462
 
5463
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5464
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5465
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5466
        package image being created.

5486
 
5487
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5488
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5489
 
5490
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5491
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5492
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5493

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5526
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5527
 
5528
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5529
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5530
      last.
5531
 
5532
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5533
 
5534
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5535
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5536
 
5537
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5538
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5539
 
5540
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5541
 
5542
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5543
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5544
 
5545
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5546
 
5547
 
5548
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5549
           with the --System option

      dependent packages.
5563
 
5564

5572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5573
Major changes:
5574
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5575
 
5576
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5577
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5578
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5579
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5580
      path.
5581
 
5582
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5583
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5584
      reproducible.
5585
 
5586
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5587
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5588
 
5589
      There are several aspects to the change
5590
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5591
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5592
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5593
 
5594
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5595
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5596
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5597
          controlled separately.
5598
 
5599
Minor changes:
5600
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5601
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5602
        Remove duplicates
5603
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5604

5610
Minor changes:
5611
    * Makefile sanity test
5612
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5613
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5614
 
5615
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5616
      x86 machine.
5617
 
5618
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5619
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5620

5623
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5624
Major changes:
5625
    * RunTest directive
5626
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5627
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5628
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5629
 
5630
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5631
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5632
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5633
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5634
 
5635
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5636
        builder within the current toolset.
5637
 
5638
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5639
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5640
 
5641
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5642
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5643
      containing the RunTest directive.
5644
 
5645
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5646
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5647
 
5648
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5649
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5650
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5651
 
5652
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5653
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5654
                            P or D suffix.
5655
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5656
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5657
 
5658
Minor changes:
5659
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5660
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5661
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5662
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5663
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5664
 
5665
    * Save Build Utility
5666
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5667
      used in a ripple build.
5668
 
5669
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5670
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5671
 
5672
    * Release Utility
5673
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5674
      when an error is encountered.
5675
 
5676
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5677
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5678
 
5679
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5680
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5681
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5682
 
5683
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5684
      before the makefiles are created.
5685
 
5686
    * TestProg directive
5687
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5688
 
5689
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5690
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5691
 
5692

5693
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5695
Major changes:
5696
    * New build target
5697
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5698
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5699
 
5700
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5701
            DEVLINUX
5702
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5703
 
5704
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5705
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5706
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5707
 
5708
Minor changes:
5709
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5710
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5711
 
5712
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5713
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5714
 
5715
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5716
      and .cs files.
5717
 
5718
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5719
      thing.
5720
 
5721
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5722
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5723
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5724
      were it places temp files.
5725
 
5726
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5727
      interaction with other builds.
5728
 
5729
    * Release utility command
5730
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5731
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5732
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Major changes:
5781
 
5782
Minor changes:
5783
  * WINCE Support
5784
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5785
 
5786
  * Removed the following targets
5787
        TP5600
5788
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5789
        TP5600_EMU
5790
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5791
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5792
 
5793
  * Deployment
5794
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5795
 
5796
  * build.pl
5797
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5798
 
5799
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5800
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5801
 
5802
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5803
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5804
    build.
5805
 
5806
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5807
 
5808
  * Tool: escrow
5809
     New features
5810
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5811
     are not in the SBOM.
5812
 
5813
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5814
 
5815
     Specify packages to be ignored.
5816

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6202
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6204
Major changes:
6205
 
6206
Minor changes:
6207
  * jats label
6208
    Added a -vob=name option
6209
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6210
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6211
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6212
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6213
 
6214
    Added a -user=name option
6215
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6216
    label to the named user.
6217
 
6218
  * jats release
6219
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6220
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6221
 
6222
  * JATS build.pl
6223
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6224
    ie:
6225
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6226

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6229
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6231
Major changes:
6232
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6233
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6234
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6235
    the makefile internals. ie:
6236
        --Var(BuildName)
6237
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6238
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6239
 
6240
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6241
 
6242
  * GenerateFiles
6243
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6244
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6245
 
6246
  * BuildPlatforms
6247
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6248
 
6249
Minor changes:
6250
  * GCC Toolset
6251
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6252
 
6253
Internal changes:
6254
  * GenerateFiles
6255
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6256
 
6257
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6258
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6259
 
6260
 
6261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6262
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6264
Major changes:
6265
  * Caching JATS
6266
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6267
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6268
 
6269
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6270
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6271
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6272
 
6273
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6274
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6275
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6276
 
6277
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6278
 
6279
Minor changes:
6280
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6281
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6282
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6283
 
6284
  * jats build
6285
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6286
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6287
    processed by the build.
6288
 
6289
  * jats build
6290
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6291
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6292
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6293
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6294
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6295
 
6296
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6297
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6298
    Path is not specified.
6299
 
6300
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6301
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6302
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6303
        --Dir=$Pinc
6304
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6305
 
6306
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6307
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6308
    Windows platform.
6309
 
6310
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6311
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6312
            by 'purecov.
6313
 
6314
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6315
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6316
 
6317
        - OPTIONS=purify
6318
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6319
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6320
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6321

6325
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6326
Major changes:
6327
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6328
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6329
    Example:
6330
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6331
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6332
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6333
 
6334
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6335
    been determined.
6336
 
6337
Minor changes:
6338
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6339
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6340
    located at build-time.
6341
 
6342
  * Unix based systems
6343
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6344
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6345
 
6346
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6347
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6348
    driver being built.
6349
 
6350
 
6351

6356
 
6357
Minor changes:
6358
  * jats_rewrite tool
6359
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6360
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6361
 
6362
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6363
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6364
 
6365
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6366
    dependancy information within a package.
6367
 
6368
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6369
    messages.
6370
 
6371

6372
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6374
Major changes:
6375
  * makefile.pl directives
6376
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6377
 
6378
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6379
 
6380
    GenerateFiles.
6381
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6382
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6383
                      be run on every invocation.
6384
 
6385
 
6386
Minor changes:
6387
  * Added the jats version command
6388
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6389
 
6390
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6391
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6392
  There are two mechanism:
6393
 
6394
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6395
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6396
 
6397
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6398
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6399
 
6400
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6401
  default.
6402
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6403
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6404

6407
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6408
Major changes:
6409
  * SunWorks Toolset
6410
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6411
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6412
    It is based on machine type.
6413
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6414
 
6415
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6416
 
6417
Minor changes:
6418
  * Perl DBI interface
6419
    Removed the message showing database connection
6420
 
6421
  * JATS internal library
6422
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6423
 
6424

Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6426
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6427
Major changes:
6428
  * GCC Toolset
6429
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6430
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6431
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6432
 
6433
  * Added platforms
6434
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6435
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6436
    TP5600_EMU
6437
 
6438
Minor changes:
6439
  * descpkg file reader
6440
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6441
    field separator.
6442
 
6443
  * JATS eprog command
6444
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6445
 
6446
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6447
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6448
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6449
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6450
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6451
 
6452
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6453
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6454
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6455
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6456
 
6457
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6458
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6464
  * The --CopyIn option will always copy in the specified files
6465
 
6466
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
6467
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
6468
 
6469
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6470
 
6471
 
6472
Minor changes:
6473
  * JATS wrapper script
6474
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6475
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6476
    to setup links to system programs.
6477

    Added a --Type=PayLoadType field to the Prog directive for this target
6486
    when creating .sxml files
6487
 
6488
  * Test Tool
6489
    Added: jats_lib_scan.pl
6490
    Use jats jats_lib_scan -man for detailed help
6491

6495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6496
Major changes:
6497
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6498
    Added CompileOptions
6499
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6500
        no_misalign         - Default
6501
 
6502
        multithread         - Default
6503
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6504
 
6505
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6506
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6507
 
6508
        prod_no_optimise
6509
        prod_no_debuginfo
6510
        prod_optimise
6511
        prod_debuginfo
6512
 
6513
        debug_no_optimise

        debug_no_debuginfo
6515
        debug_optimise
6516
        debug_debuginfo
6517
 
6518
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6519
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6520
    Theses are:
6521
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6522
        SOLARIS_AMD
6523
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6524
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6525
 
6526
Minor changes:
6527
  * AT3232 toolset
6528
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6529
 
6530
  * Jats build

6535
Version: JATS_2.56.3                                Released: 04-Sep-06
6536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6537
Major changes:
6538
 
6539
Minor changes:
6540
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6541
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6542
    messages
6543
 
6544
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6545
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6546
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6547
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6548
 
6549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6550
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6552
Major changes:
6553
 
6554
Minor changes:
6555
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6556
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6557
    library without creating the body of the library:
6558
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6559
 
6560
 
6561
  * MOS toolsets
6562
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6563
    library without creating the body of the library:
6564
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6565
 
6566
  * JATS BIN directories
6567
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6568
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6569
    using autoconf.
6570
 
6571
  * Generate directive
6572
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6573
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6574
 
6575
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6576
 
6577
 
6578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6579
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6581
Major changes:
6582
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6583
    Initial release.
6584
 
6585
Minor changes:
6586
 
6587
 
6588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6589
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6591
Major changes:
6592
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6593
    Initial release.
6594
 
6595
  * Packaging directives
6596
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6597
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6598
 
6599
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6600
        SOLARIS
6601
        WIN32
6602
 
6603
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6604
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6605
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6606
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6607
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6608
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6609
 
6610
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6611
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6612
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6613
 
6614
 
6615
Minor changes:
6616
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6617
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6618
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6619
 
6620
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6621
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6622
    location
6623
 
6624
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6625
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6626
 
6627
  * Utility genrc
6628
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6629
 
6630
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6631
    Added option: -new
6632
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6633
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6634
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6635
 
6636
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6637
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6638
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6639
 
6640
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6641
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6642
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6643
 
6644
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6645
   features - in a uniform manner.
6646
 
6647
 
6648
Internal Changes:
6649
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6650
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6651
 
6652
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6653
        1) Platform information available at build time
6654
        2) Dynamic platform names
6655
 
6656
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6657
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6658
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6659
 
6660
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6661
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6662
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6663
 
6664
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6665
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6666
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6667
    needed.
6668
 
6669
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6670
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6671
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6672
    files from all of these.
6673

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6675
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6677
Major changes:
6678
 
6679
Minor changes:
6680
  * WinCE toolset
6681
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6682
 
6683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6684
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6685
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6686
Major changes:
6687
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6688
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6689
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6690
 
6691
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6692
 
6693
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6694
    the operations.
6695
 
6696
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6697
 
6698
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6699
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6700
 
6701
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6702
 
6703
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6704
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6705
 
6706
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6707
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6708
    Extended the built-in help
6709
    Added useful error messages
6710
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6711
 
6712
  * WinCE toolset
6713
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6714
 
6715
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6716
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6717
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6718
 
6719
Minor changes:
6720
  * JATS wrapper script
6721
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6722
    the command line.
6723
 
6724
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6725
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6726
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6727
 
6728
Internal Changes:
6729
  * Common Error Reporting
6730
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6731
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6732
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6733
    level.
6734
 
6735
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6736
    displayed.
6737
 
6738
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6739
 
6740
  * Added JatsSystem module
6741
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6743
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6745
Major changes:
6746
 
6747
Minor changes:
6748
  * BR Compiler toolset
6749
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6750
    .def files to include other files.
6751
 
6752
  * IAR toolset
6753
    Added AT7272 support
6754
 
6755
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6756
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6757
 
6758
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6759
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6760
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6761
Major changes:
6762
 
6763
Minor changes:
6764
  * BR Compiler toolset
6765
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6766
    use.
6767
 
6768
 
6769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6770
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6772
Major changes:
6773
 
6774
Minor changes:
6775
  * Mictotec toolset
6776
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6777
    builds.
6778
 
6779
  * JATS Core
6780
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6781
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6782
    behaviour.
6783
 
6784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6785
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6787
Major changes:
6788
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6789
    Deployment package will be affected.
6790
 
6791
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6792
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6793
 
6794
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6795
 
6796
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6797
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6798
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6799
    packages.
6800
 
6801
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6802
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6803
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6804
 
6805
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6806
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6807
 
6808
Minor changes:
6809
  * SubDir directive
6810
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6811
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6812
 
6813
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6814
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6815
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6816
    of the file usage.
6817
 
6818
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6819
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6820
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6821
 
6822
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6823
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6824
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6825
 
6826
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6827
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6828
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6829
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6830
 
6831
 
6832
Internal Changes:
6833
  * Code refactor
6834
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6835
 
6836
  * Deployment utilities
6837
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6838
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6839
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6840
    the module can locate the file.
6841
 
6842
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6843
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6844
 
6845
  * JATS core
6846
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6847
 
6848
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6849
 
6850
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6851
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6852
    through the use of environment variables.
6853
 
6854
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6855
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6856
 
6857
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6858
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6859
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6860
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6861
 
6862
  * Make environment
6863
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6864
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6865
 
6866
 
6867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6868
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6870
Major changes:
6871
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6872
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6873
 
6874
 
6875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6876
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6878
 
6879
Not Released.
6880
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6881
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6882
 
6883
 
6884
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6885
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6887
Major changes:
6888
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6889
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6890
    radically replaced.
6891
 
6892
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6893
    Usage:
6894
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6895
 
6896
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6897
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6898
    this solution:
6899
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6900
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6901
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6902
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6903
 
6904
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6905
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6906
    order to work.
6907
 
6908
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6909
    reduced functionality.
6910
 
6911
 
6912
Minor changes:
6913
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6914
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6915
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6916
 
6917
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6918
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6919
    within the makefiles.
6920
        Options:
6921
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6922
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6923
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6924
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6925
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6926
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6927
        Useage:
6928
 
6929
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6930
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6931
 
6932
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6933
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6934
    is not in the current directory.
6935
 
6936
  * Jats Command: ant'
6937
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6938
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6939
 
6940
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6941
 
6942
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6943
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6944
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6945
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6946
 
6947
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6948
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6949
    Thus
6950
 
6951
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6952
 
6953
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6954

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6959
Major changes:
6960
 
6961
Minor changes:
6962
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6963
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6964
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6965
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6966
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6967
 
6968
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6969
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6970
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6971
 
6972
Internal changes:
6973
  * JATS toolsets
6974
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6975
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6976
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6977
 
6978
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6979
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6980
 
6981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6982
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6984
Major changes:
6985
  * Jats command: etool
6986
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6987
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6988
 
6989
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
6990
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
6991
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
6992
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6993
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
6994
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
6995
 
6996

7000
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7002
Major changes:
7003
  * JATS environment variables
7004
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7005
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7006
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7007
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7008
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7009
 
7010
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7011
              Remote repository
7012
 
7013
    Added GBE_DPLY
7014
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7015
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7016
 
7017
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7018
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7019
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7020
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7021
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7022
 
7023
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7024
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7025
 
7026
 
7027
Minor changes:
7028
  * JATS utility: build
7029
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7030
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7031
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7032
 
7033
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7034
    Ensure label is not locked
7035
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7036
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7037
 
7038
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7039
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7040
    to a specific type of build.
7041
 
7042
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7043
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7044
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7045
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7046
 
7047
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7048
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7049
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7050
 
7051
  * JATS utility: release
7052
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7053
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7054
 
7055
  * JATS utility: label
7056
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7057
    when it is being created.
7058
 
7059
Internal Changes
7060
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7061
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7062
 
7063
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7064
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7065
 
7066
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7067
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7068
    different results.
7069
 
7070
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7071
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7072
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7073
 
7074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7075
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7077
Major changes:
7078
 
7079
  * MCR toolset
7080
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7081
 
7082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7083
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7085
Major changes:
7086
  * WIN32 utilities
7087
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7088
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7089
 
7090
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7091
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7092
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7093
 
7094
Minor changes:
7095
  * BuildVersion
7096
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7097
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7098
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7099
 
7100
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7101
 
7102
  * Unix Builds
7103
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7104
    library or a shared library.
7105
 
7106
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7107
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7108
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7109
    start with 'lib'.
7110
 
7111
  * BuildPkgArchive
7112
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7113
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7114
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7115
 
7116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7117
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7119
Major changes:
7120
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7121
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7122
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7123
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7124
    being manually maintained.
7125
 
7126
 
7127
Minor changes:
7128
  * MakeAnt directive
7129
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7130
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7131
    supports ANT builds.
7132
 
7133
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7134
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7135
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7136
 
7137
  * Label utility
7138
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7139
    files to be labeled.
7140
 
7141
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7142
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7143
    on Solaris.
7144
 
7145
  * Generated makefiles
7146
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7147
    nothing.
7148
 
7149
  * MOS Toolset
7150
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7151
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7152
    modules.
7153
 
7154
  * Utility: gen_cots
7155
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7156
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7157
 
7158
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7159
 
7160
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7161
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7162
 
7163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7164
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7165
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7166
Major changes:
7167
  None
7168
 
7169
Minor changes:
7170
  * DEVI addressed
7171
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7172
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7173
 
7174
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7175
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7176
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7177
 
7178
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7179
 
7180
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7181
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7182
 
7183
  * RunTest directive
7184
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7185
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7186
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7187
 
7188
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7189
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7190
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7191
    packaged under JATS
7192
 
7193
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7194
          supported within JATS.
7195
 
7196
  * Jats utility wrapper
7197
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7198
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7199
 
7200
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7201
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7202
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7203
 
7204
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7205
    Eg: jats ant
7206
 
7207
  * Jats utility wrapper
7208
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7209
 
5710 dpurdie 7210
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7211
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7212
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7213
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7214
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7215
 
5710 dpurdie 7216
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7217
    expect a build.pl file.
7218
 
7219
  * Jats utility wrapper
7220
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7221
 
7222
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7223
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7224
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7225
 
7226
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7227
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7228
 
7229
  * Build files
7230
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7231
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7232
 
7233

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7801
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7803
Major changes:
7804
    * WIN32 platforms
7805
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7806
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7807
      and installed packages.
7808
 
7809
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7810
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7811
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7812
 
7813
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7814
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7815
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7816
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7817
      searched when looking for libraries.
7818
 
7819
Minor changes:
7820
    * GenerateFiles directive
7821
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7822
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7823
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7824
                          and drive letter
7825
 
7826
    * Src directive
7827
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7828
      directory of a package.
7829
 
7830
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7831
 
7832
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7833
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7834
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7835
 
7836
    * jats_rewrite utility
7837
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7838
 
7839
 
7840
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7841
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7842
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7843
Major changes:
7844
    * SunWorks production builds
7845
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7846
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7847
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7848
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7849
      compiler documentation.
7850
 
7851
    * MOS Toolset
7852
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7853
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7854
 
7855
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7856
 
7857
Minor changes:
7858
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7859
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7860
      This should not affect current users.
7861
 
7862
    * Mugfile generation
7863
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7864
      specified.
7865
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7866
 
7867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7868
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7870
Major changes:
7871
    MOS Toolset
7872
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7873
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7874
 
7875
Minor changes:
7876
    * Jats wrapper script
7877
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7878
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7879
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7880
 
7881
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7882
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7883
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7884
      may be suspect.
7885
 
7886
    * GenerateFiles directive
7887
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7888
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7889
 
7890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7891
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7893
Major changes:
7894
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7895
      build.xml files.
7896
 
7897
Minor changes:
7898
    * WIN32 toolset.
7899
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7900
 
7901
    * MakeAnt
7902
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7903
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7904
 
7905
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7906
 
7907
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7908
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7909
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7910
 
7911
    * MakeAnt directive
7912
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7913
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7914
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7915
 
7916
      Recommended usage:
7917
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7918
 
7919
Internal Changes
7920
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7921

7924
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7926
Major changes:
7927
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7928
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7929
      files packaged into the release.
7930
 
7931
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7932
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7935
 
7936
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7937
      The recommended platform is:
7938
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7939
 
7940
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7941
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7942
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7943
      components.
7944
 
7945
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
7946

7949
 
7950
Minor changes:
7951
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7952
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7953
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7954
      by the package to be accessed.
7955
 
7956
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7957
      application or visual studio.
7958
 
7959
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7960
      and the JATS Core path.
7961
 
7962
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7963
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7964
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7965
 
7966
    * MOS Toolset
7967
      Add support for the TPT device
7968
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7969
 
7970
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7971
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7972
 
7973
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7974
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7975
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7976
 
7977
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7978
 
7979
Internal Changes
7980
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7981
      in jats.pl
7982
 
7983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7984
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7986
Major changes:
7987
    * JATS wrapper script
7988
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7989
 
7990
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
7991
 
7992
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
7993
 
7994
Minor changes:
7995
    * Deployment support
7996
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
7997
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
7998
 
7999
    * 'build'
8000
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8001
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8002
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8003
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8004
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8005
 
8006
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8007
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8008
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8009
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8010
                                      the link phase.
8011
 
8012
    * BuildPkgArchive
8013
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8014
      Previously these were ignored.
8015
      Minor code cleanup
8016
 
8017
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8018
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8019
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8020
 
8021
    * SOLARIS targets
8022
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8023
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8024
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8025
 
8026
    * MugFile generation
8027
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8028
      included in the final package.
8029
 
8030
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8031
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8032
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8033
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8034
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8035
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8036
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8037
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8038
 
8039
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8040
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8041
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8042
            --Option=(some_text)
8043
            --Option=[some_text]
8044
            --Option={some_text}
8045
 
8046
Internal Changes
8047
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8048
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8049
      code.
8050
 
8051

8052
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8053
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8054
Major changes:
8055
    * JATS wrapper script
8056
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8057
 
8058
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8059
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8060
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8061
      other components.
8062
 
8063
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8064
 
8065
    * JATS
8066
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8067
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8068
 
8069
    * Build operations
8070
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8071
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8072
      packages.
8073
 
8074
    * Make operations
8075
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8076
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8077
 
8078
Minor changes:
8079
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8080
      deployment builds.
8081
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8082
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8083
 
8084
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8085
 
8086
    * build.pl
8087
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8088
        processed. Allows
8089
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8090
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8091
        production.
8092
 
8093
    * MOS toolset
8094
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8095
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8096
 
8097
    * create_dpkg utility
8098
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8099
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8100
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8101
      progress of the build.
8102
 
8103
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8104
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8105
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8106
      system.
8107
 
8108

8111
Major changes:
8112
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8113
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8114
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8115
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8116
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8117
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8118
 
8119
    * WCEX86A500 target
8120
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8121
 
8122
    * MOS Toolsets
8123
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8124
      the compiler.
8125
 
8126
    * RunTest directive
8127
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8128
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8129
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8130
 
8131
Minor changes:
8132
    * JATS BUILD
8133
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8134
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8135
      highlight bad settings.
8136
 
8137
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8138
      access to extensions.
8139

8141
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8143
Major changes:
8144
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8145
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8146
 
8147
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8148
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8149
      under unix.
8150
 
8151
Minor changes:
8152
    * label utility
8153
      Added options to:
8154
        o Delete a label
8155
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8156
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8157
 
8158
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8159
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8160
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8161
      Package directives.
8162
 
8163
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8164
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8165
      system.
8166
 
8167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8168
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8169
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8170
Major changes:
8171
    * MOS Toolset
8172
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8173
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8174
 
8175
    * WIN32 Toolset
8176
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8177
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8178
      list.
8179
 
8180
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8181
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8182
 
8183
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8184
 
8185
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8186
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8187
 
8188
 
8189
Minor changes:
8190
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8191
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8192
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8193
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8194
      corrected.
8195
 
8196
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8197
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8198
 
8199
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8200
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8201
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8202
 
8203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8204
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8206
Major changes:
8207
    * WIN32 Toolset
8208
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8209
      use with multithreaded modes.
8210
 
8211
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8212
      --OnlyProd.
8213
 
8214
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8215
      within the makefile.pl.
8216
 
8217
Minor changes:
8218
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8219
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8220
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8221
      platforms.
8222
 
8223
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8224
 
8225

8226
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8228
Major changes:
8229
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8230
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8231
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8232
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8233
 
8234
    * Preliminary Support
8235
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8236
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8237
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8238
 
8239
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8240
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8241
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8242
 
8243
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8244
      building. The default build will build both.
8245
 
8246
Minor changes:
8247
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8248
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8249
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8250
 
8251
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8252
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8253
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8254
 
8255
 
8256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8257
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8259
Major changes:
8260
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8261
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8262
      or all.
8263
 
8264
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8265
      the library or program.
8266
 
8267
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8268
 
8269
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8270
      library or any debug files.
8271
 
8272
    * GenerateFiles
8273
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8274
 
8275
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8276
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8277
 
8278
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8279
              The filename of the prereq file
8280
 
8281
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8282
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8283
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8284
 
8285
 
8286
Minor changes:
8287
    * create_dpkg utility
8288
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8289
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8290
      the package has been altered.
8291

8295
Major changes:
8296
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8297
      This is a WINCE target
8298
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8299
 
8300
    * New toolset
8301
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8302
 
8303
    * Modified toolset
8304
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8305
 
8306
    * Modified toolset
8307
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8308
 
8309
Minor changes:
8310
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8311
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8312
 
8313
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8314
 
8315
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8316
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8317
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8318
 
8319
      The change allows the construct
8320
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8321
      to be replaced by the simpler
8322
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8323
 
8324
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8325
      specified name.    
8326

8331
Major changes:
8332
    * Dependancy generator

8345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8346
Major changes:
8347
    * The "package.pl" file.
8348
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8349
      package name being taken from the build name
8350
 
8351
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8352
      package Build Name.
8353
 
8354
Minor changes:
8355
    * create_dpkg utility
8356
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8357
 
8358

8361
Major changes:
8362
 
8363
Minor changes:
8364
    * Dependancy generator
8365
      Correct two common situations
8366
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8367
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8368
           ansi, but is often done.
8369
 
8370
    * GCC toolset
8371
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8372
      being created in the correct place.
8373
 
8374
    * jats "label"
8375
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8376
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8377
 
8378
 
8379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8380
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8382
Major changes:
8383
 
8384
Minor changes:
8385
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8386
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8387
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8388
 
8389
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8390
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8391
 
8392
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8393
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8394
      package was not being transferred.
8395
 
8396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8397
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8399
Major changes:
8400
    * Support for solaris_i386
8401
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8402
      binaries for this target.
8403
 
8404
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8405
      with the GCC compiler.
8406
 
8407
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8408
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8409
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8410
 
8411
Minor changes:
8412
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8413
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8414
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8415
 
8416
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8417
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8418
 
8419
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8420
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8421
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8422
Major changes:
8423
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8424
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8425
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8426
 
8427
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8428
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8429
 
8430
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8431
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8432
      with either " or ' characters.
8433
 
8434
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8435
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8436
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8437
 
8438
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8439
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8440
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8441
 
8442
    * Jats wrapper
8443
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8444
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8445
      further commands.
8446
 
8447
Minor changes:
8448
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8449
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8450
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8451
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8452
 
8453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8454
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8456
Major changes:
8457
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8458
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8459
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8460
 
8461
      These options operation affect all components within the
8462
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8463
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8464
 
8465
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8466
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8467
 
8468
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8471
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8473
Major changes:
8474
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8475
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8476
 
8477
Minor changes:
8478
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8479
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8480
 
8481
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8482
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8483
 
8484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8485
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8487
Major changes:
8488
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8489
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8490
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8491
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8492
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8493
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8494
      installed.
8495
 
8496
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8497
      libraries that depend on each other.
8498
 
8499
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8500
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8501
 
8502
Minor changes:
8503
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8504
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8505
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8506
 
8507
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8508
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8509
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8510
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8511

Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8515
Major changes:
8516
 
8517
Minor changes:
8518
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8519
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8520
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8521
      file.
8522
 
8523
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8524
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8525
 
8526
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8527
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8528
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8529
 
8530
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8531
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8532
 
8533
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8534
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8535
 
8536
    * WinCE toolsets
8537
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8538
      compiler specific libraries.
8539
 
8540
    * SOLARIS toolset
8541
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8542
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8543
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8544
 
8545
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8546
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8547
      cleaned up.
8548
 
8549
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8550
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8551
 
8552
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8553
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8554
      with either " or ' characters.
8555
 
8556
 
8557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8558
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8560
Major changes:
8561
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8562
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8563
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8564
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8565
 
8566
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8567
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8568
 
8569
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8570
      user.
8571
 
8572
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8573
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8574
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8575
 
8576
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8577
      for the   -Gf option.
8578
 
8579
Minor changes:
8580
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8581
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8582
 
8583
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8584
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8585
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8586
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8587
 
8588
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8589
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8591
Major changes:
8592
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8593
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8594
 
8595
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8596
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8597
      data addresses for the board.
8598
 
8599
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8600
 
8601
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8602
 
8603
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8604
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8605
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8606
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8607
         PackageFile
8608
 
8609
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8610
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8611
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8612
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8613
 
8614
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8615
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8616
      to be installed and packaged.
8617
 
8618
Minor changes:
8619
 
8620
    * cache_dpkg utility
8621
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8622
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8623
 
8624
    * label utility
8625
      New option -auto to create and label
8626
 
8627
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8628
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8629
 
8630
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8631
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8632
      directory. ie:
8633
 
8634
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8635
 
8636
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8637
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8638
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8639
 
8640
 
8641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8642
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8643
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8644
Major changes:
8645
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8646
 
8647
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8648
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8649
 
8650
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8651
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8652
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8653
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8654
 
8655
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8656
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8657
      compilation.
8658
 
8659
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8660
 
8661
Minor changes:
8662
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8663
      one is being produced.
8664
 
8665
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8666
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8667
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8668
 
8669
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8670
 
8671
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8672
 
8673
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8674
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8675
 
8676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8677
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8679
Major changes:
8680
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8681
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8682
 
8683
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8684
 
8685
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8686
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8687
      same directory
8688
 
8689
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8690
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8691
      documenattion.
8692
 
8693
Minor changes:
8694
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8695
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8696
 
8697
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8698
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8699
 
8700
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8701
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8702
 
8703
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8704
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8705
 
8706
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8707
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8708
      be exempt from this test.
8709
 
8710
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8711
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8712
 
8713
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8714
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8715
 
8716
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8717
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8718
      does.
8719
 
8720
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8721
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8722
 
8723
 
8724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8725
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8727
Major changes:
8728
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8729
 
8730
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8731
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8732
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8733
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8734
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8735
 
8736
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8737
      operations.
8738
 
8739
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8740
 
8741
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8742
 
8743
Minor changes
8744
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8745
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8746
 
8747
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8748
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8749
      directory is not added to the library path.
8750
 
8751
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8752
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8753
 
8754
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8755
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8756
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8757
 
8758
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8759
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8760
      specific flags.
8761
 
8762
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8763
 
8764
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8765
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8766
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8767
 
8768
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8769
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8770
      JATS.
8771
 
8772
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8773
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8774
 
8775
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8776
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8777
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8778
 
8779
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8780
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8781
 
8782
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8783
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8784
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8785
 
8786
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8787
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8788
 
8789
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8790
 
8791
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8792
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8793
 
8794
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8795
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8796
      objects.
8797
 
8798
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8799
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8800
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8801
      build defendants.
