791
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
792
 
793
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
794
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
795
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
796
      build errors.
797
 
798
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
799
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
800
 
801
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
802
      Shorthand for
803
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
804
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
805
 
806
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
807
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
808
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
809
      Examples: 
810
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
811
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
812
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
813
 
814
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
815
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
816
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
817
 
818
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
819
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
820
      build system.
821
 
822
Experimental:
823
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
824
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
825
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

830
------------------------------------------------------------------------
831
 
832
Minor changes:
833
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
834
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
835
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

838
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
840
 
841
Minor changes:
842
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
843
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
844
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
845
 
846
    * Build Files
847
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
848
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
849
 
850
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
851
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
852
 
853
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
854
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
855
 
856
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
857
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
858
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
859
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
860
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
861
 
862
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
863
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
864
     different architectures.
865
 
866
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
867
     are directed to one or more machines.
868
 
869
     Intended uses:
870
        Windows: Creating installers. 
871
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
872
 
873
       All: Specialized packaging.
874
 
875
    * Makefiles
876
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
877
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
878
      Eg:
879
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
880
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
881
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
882
      It could also have been written as:
883
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
884
      but NOT as:
885
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
886
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
887
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
888
 
889
    * Utility: sandbox
890
      Subcommand info 
891
        - Added option to test fingerprints

898
Minor changes:
899
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
900
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
901
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
902
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
903
 
904
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
905
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
906
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
907
 
908
    * GenerateFiles directive
909
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
910

912
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
913

928
 
929
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
930
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
931
 
932
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
933
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
934
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
935
      machine may build the toolset.
936
 
937
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
938
      platform.

959
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
960
 
961
    * Utility: escrow
962
      Added -skim option
963
 
964
    * Utility: sandbox

967
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
968
 
969
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
970
 
971
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
972
        if an error is detected.
973
 
974
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
975
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
976
 
977
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
978
        skipped during the build.
979
 
980
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
988
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
989
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
990
 
991
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
992
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

1105
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1106
 
1107
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1108
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1109
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1110

    * New build Alias - NATIVE
1870
      NATIVE is a set of platforms, in the current build, which build 
1871
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1872
 
1873
      The NATIVE alias has been created to simplify the support
1874
      for automated unit tests.

    * EnvVars
1898
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
1899
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
1900
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
1901
 
1902
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1903
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
1904
      environment. Set GBE_DPKG to GBE_DPKG_REPLICA if doing an ABT enabled 
1905
      build and GBE_DPKG_REPLICA is defined.
1906
 
1907
    * Jats caching
1908
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
1909
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

Minor changes:
1934
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
1935
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1936
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1937
 
1938
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1939
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1940
 
1941
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1942
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

4036 dpurdie 2210
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 2211
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
2212
 
2213
      Added support for a compiler to be provided through a package.
2214
      Specifically implemented to allow Android

    * BuildName directive
2218
      Force '--RelaxedVersion' on COTS packages that have exactly 3 arguments.
2219
 
2220
    * Sandbox utility
4036 dpurdie 2221
      Fixed use of a 'buildfilter' file in the sandbox directory.

Major changes:
2231
 
2232
Minor changes:
2233
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2234
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2235
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2236
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2237
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2238
 
2239
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2240
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

    * Utility: update_release
2249
      Added options:
2250
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2251
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2252
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2253
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2254
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2255
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2256
 
2257
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2258
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2259
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2260
 
2261
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2262
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2267
Major changes:
2268
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2269
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2270
      intended to build deployed software.
2271
 
2272
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2273
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2274
 
2275
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2276
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2277
 
2278
Minor changes:
2279
    * Jats wrapper script
2280
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2281
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2282
      Subversion instance of the command.
2283
 
2284
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2285
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2286
 
2287
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2288
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2289
 
2290
    * Utility: jats upddep
2291
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2292
      file under windows.
2293
 
2294
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2295
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2296
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2297
 
2298
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2299
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2300
 
2301
    * GCC Toolchain
2302
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
2319
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2320
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2321
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2322
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2323
 
2324
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2325
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2335
Minor changes:
2336
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2337
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2338
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2339
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2340
      line.
2341
 
2342
    * Jats Configuration
2343
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2344
 
2345
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2346
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2347
      and Linux.
2348
 
2349
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2350
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
2358
    * Jats Core
2359
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2360
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2361
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2362
 
2363
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2364
      Used only by the build daemons.
2365
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2366
 
2367
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2368

2374
Major changes:
2375
 
2376
Minor changes:
2377
    * svnrelease utility
2378
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2379
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2380
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2381
 
2382
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2383
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2384
      the named tag.
2385
 
2386
    * svnrelease utility
2387
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2388
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2399
        covered by the makefile.
2400
 
2401
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2402
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2403
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2404
 
2405
    * ALL Toolsets
2406
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2407
 
2408
    * Utility vcsdiff
2409
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2410
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2411
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
2420
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2421
      directory of the tag.
2422
 
2423
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2424
      repository.
2425
 
2426
    * Subversion Support
2427
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2428
      showing the user what to do.
2429
 
2430
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2431
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2432
      we have build support for this target.
2433
 
2434
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2435
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2436
 
2437
Internal:
2438
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2439
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2440
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2441
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
2458
    * Makefile generation
2459
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2460
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2461
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2462
      of warnings.
2463
 
2464
    * Makefile Generation
2465
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2474
Major changes:
2475
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2476
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2477
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2478
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2479
 
2480
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2481
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2482
      windows path scheme.
2483
 
2484
Minor changes:
2485
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2486
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2487
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2488
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2489
 
2490
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2491
        jats make clobber
2492
      This operates as before.
2493
 
2494
    * Utility: escrow
2495
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2496
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2497
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2498
 
2499
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2500
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2501
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2502
 
2503
    * Utility: svn : url
2504
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2505
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2506
 
2507
    * Utility: svn : import
2508
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2509
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2510
 
2511
    * Subversion Support
2512
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2513
      showing the user what to do.
2514
 
2515
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2516
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2517
      repositories.

2522
 
2523
Minor changes:
2524
    * Jats build
2525
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2526
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2527
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2528
 
2529
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2530
      command, with a sandbox.

    * Utility: svn
2540
      Added two subcommands
2541
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2542
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2543
                 Can also display available branches.
2544
 
2054 dpurdie 2545
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2551
 
2552
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2553
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2554
      Modified two options:
2555
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2556
                        The named branch must not exist
2557
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2558
                        The named branch must exist
2559
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2617
 
2618
Minor changes:
2619
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2620
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2621
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2622
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.

2636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2637
Major changes:
2638
    * Subversion Repository location
2639
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2640
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2641
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2642
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

2644
 
2645
Minor changes:
2646
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2647
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2648
 
2649
    * Utility: svnrelease
2650
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2651
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2652
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2653
 
2654
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2655
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2656
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2657
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2658
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2659
 
2660
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2661
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2662
 
2663
    * Utility: sandbox
2664
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2665
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2666
 
2667
      Subcommand: populate
2668
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2669
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2670
      sandbox.
2671
 
2672
    * Subversion Support
2673
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2674
      repository is not supported.
2675
 
2676
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2677
      a progress indication.
2678
 
2679
    * Jats Online Documentation
2680
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2681
      online documentation.
2682
 
2683
    * Generated makefiles
2684
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2732
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2733
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2734
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2735
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2736
 
2737
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 2738

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2761
Major changes:
2762
 
2763
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2764
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2765
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2766
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2767
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2768
 
2769
    * C# Toolchain
2770
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

2780
 
2781
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2782
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2783
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2784
 
2785
    * Utility ccrelease
2786
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2787
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2788
 
2789
    * Utility: svn
2790
      Improved package import processing.
2791
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2819
Major changes:
2820
 
2821
Minor changes:
2822
    * Command: jats clobber
2823
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2824
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2825
 
2826
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2827
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2828
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2829
 
2830
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2831
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2832
 
377 dpurdie 2833
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2834
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2835
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2836
 
2837
    * jats svnlabel
2838
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2839
 
2840
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2841
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2842
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2843
 
2844
    * Built Daemon support
2845
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2846
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2847

373 dpurdie 2849
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2851
Major changes:
2852
    * GCC Toolset
2853
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2854
      New methodology is:
2855
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2856
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2857
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2858
        as the main binary.
2859
 
2860
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2861
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2862
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2863
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2864
      both worlds.
2865
 
2866
Minor changes:
2867
    * HTML Documentation
2868
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2869
 
2870
Internal changes:
2871
    * Generated makefiles

2873
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
2874

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2878
Major changes:
2879
    * Jats Sandbox
2880
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2881
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2882
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2883
 
2884
    * RIORDS Platform
2885
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

2908
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2909
 
2910
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2911
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2912
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2913
      a vob.
2914
 
2915
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

Major changes:
2991
    * New toolset: ARM251
2992
 
2993
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100

Minor changes:
2997
    * HTML Help
2998
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
2999
 
3000
    * jats build -noforce
3001
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3002
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3003
      be forced.
3004
 
3005
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3006
 
3007
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3008
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3009
 
3010
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3011
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3012
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3013
 
3014
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3015
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3016
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3017
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3018
 
3019
    * Utility: svnrelease
3020
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3021
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

3023
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3024
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3025
 
3026
    * Utility: svn
3027
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3028
      installed and can be used.
3029
 
3030
    * Toolset: CSharp
3031
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3032
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3033
      character.
3034
 
3035
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3036
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3037
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3038
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3039
      masking an error.
3040
 
3041
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3042
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3043
      enhancement.
3044
 
3045
    * Toolset: dafbr
3046
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3047
 
3048
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3049
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3050
        - Return correct path to package
3051
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3052
 
3053
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3054
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3055
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3056
 
3057
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3058
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3059
      packages.
3060
 
3061
    * make command: show
3062
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3063
      'jats make show' command.
3064
 
3065
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3066
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3067
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3068
 
3069
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3070
      executed on Unix machines.

3374
Major changes:
3375
    * [DEVI-062103]

3383
      files for Production and Debug builds.
3384
 
3385
Minor changes:
3386
    * Jats sandbox command
3387
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be

3390
    * Jats release -extract
3391
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
3392
      describes:
3393
        - the directory in which the user created the view
3394
        - the date of creation
3395
 
3396
    * PackageFile directive
3397
      Now supports --NoRecurse and --Recurse in conjunction with --DirTree
3398

3408
 
3409
Minor changes:
3410
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3411
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3412
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3413
      resulting in multiple builds.
3414
 
3415
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3416
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3417
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3418
 
3419
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3420
 
3421
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3422
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3423
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.
3424

331 dpurdie 3426
Version:  2.87.0000.cr                               Released: 13-Jul-10
3427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3428
Major changes:
3429
 
3430
Minor changes:
3431
    * Jats label command
3432
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3433
      Not recommended for general use.
3434
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3435
      directories within the current view.
3436
 
3437
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3438
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3439
      elsewhere.
3440
 
3441
    * Jats save_build
3442
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3443
      the determination of a branch.
3444
 
3445
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3446
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3447
 
3448
    * Jats build
3449
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3450
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3451
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3452
 
3453
    * Borland6 toolset
3454
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3455
      to match the documented install location of:
3456
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3457
 
3458
    * Jats build
3459
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3460
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3461
      This is a very quick operation.
3462
 
3463
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3464
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3465
 
3466
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3467
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3468
      files are only recreated if need be.
3469
 
3470
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3471
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3472
      make the package.
3473
 
3474
    * Jats sandbox
3475
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3476
 
3477
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3478
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3479
 
3480
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3481
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3482
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3483
      is performed.
3484
 
3485
Internal:
3486
    * build.pl
3487
      Cleanup the start-up processing of build.pl and buildlib.pl

3520
 
3521
Minor changes:
3522
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3523
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3524
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3525
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3526
 
3527
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3528
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3529
 
3530
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3531
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3532
      platform builds.
3533
 
3534
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3535
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3536
      directory tree.
3537
 
3538
    * New command: jats man
3539
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3540
 
3541
Internal changes:
3542
    * jats upddep
3543
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3544
 
3545
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3546
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3552
Major changes:
3553
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3554
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3555
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3556
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3557
 
3558
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3559
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3560
 
3561
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3562
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3563
 
3564
      Examples:
3565
            jats upddep -show
3566
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3567
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3568
 
3569
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3570
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3571
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3572
 
3573
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3574
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3575
 
3576
Minor changes:
3577
 
3578
Internal changes:
3579
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3580
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3585
Major changes:
3586
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3587
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3588
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3589
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3590
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3591
      stream.
3592
 
3593
      Example:
3594
 
3595
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3596
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3597
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3598
                     );
3599
Minor changes:
3600
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3601
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3602
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3603
      directive.
3604
 
3605
    * GCC Toolkit
3606
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3607
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3608
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3609
      the point of termination.
3610
 
3611
    * Jats save_build utility
3612
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3613
      under windows.
3614
 
3615
    * Jats sandbox
3616
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3617
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3618
      in different sandboxes.
3619
 
3620
    * Jats release
3621
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3622

Minor changes:
3629
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3630
      Added -locatedir=name
3631
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3632
      directory.
3633
 
3634
    * jats label utility
3635
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3636
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3637
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3638
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3639
 
3640
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3641

3647
Minor changes:
3648
    * WinCe Toolsets
3649
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3650
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3651
        noExceptions            - Disable
3652
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3653
      Example:
3654
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3655
 
3656
    * Solaris targets
3657
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3658
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3659
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3660
      machine type.
3661
 
3662

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3664
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3665
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3666
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3667
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3668
      project files.
3669
 
3670
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3671
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3672
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3673
 
3674
Minor changes:
3675
    * Added more internal documentation
3676
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3677
 
3678
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3679
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3680
 
3681
    * Jats save_build utility
3682
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3683
      under windows.
3684
 
3685
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3686
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3687
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3688
      libraries.
3689
 
3690
    * Solaris builds
3691
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3692
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3693
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3694
      of the build failure.
3695
 
3696
 
3697
Internal changes:
3698
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3699
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3700
 
3701
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3702
      PkgArchive topics.

3709
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3710
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3711
      existing 32-bit builds.
3712
 
3713
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

3718
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3719
 
3720
    * Package searching
3721
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3722
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3723
 
3724
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3725
 
3726
    * jats help
3727
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3728
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3729
 
3730
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3731
      with one of:
3732
        jats -h
3733
        jats help jats
3734
 
3735
Internal:
3736
    * cmdfile utility
3737
      Added macros:
3738
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3739
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3740
 
3741
      Corrected
3742
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3743
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3744
 
3745

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
3753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3754
Major changes:
3755
 
3756
Minor changes:
3757
 
3758
Internal changes
3759
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3760
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3761
      Useful side effects include:
3762
 
3763
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3764
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3765
 
3766
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3767
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3768
 
3769
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3770
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3771
        BuildPkgArchive
3772
 
313 dpurdie 3773
    * Perl Modules
3774
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3775
      release. This will:
3776
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3777
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3778
          reported by ERG.
3779
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Version:  2.80.3000.cr                               Released: 01-Dec-09
3783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3784
Major changes:
3785
 
3786
Minor changes:
3787
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3788
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3789
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3790
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3791
 
3792
    * Jats label utility
3793
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3794
 
3795
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3796
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3797
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3798
 
3799
    * Jats core
3800
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3801
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3802
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3810
    * CSHARP toolset
3811
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3812
      This is now fixed.
3813
 
309 dpurdie 3814
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3815
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3816
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3817
 
3818
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3819
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

3826
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3827
    * Generating makefiles
3828
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3829
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3830
      an error.
3831
 
3832
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3833
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3834
 
3835
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3836
      Highly specialized directive.

3842
Major changes:
3843
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3844
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3845
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3846
 
3847
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3848
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3849
 
3850
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3851
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3852
      Support includes
3853
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3854
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3855
 
3856
Minor changes:
3857
    * Build file processing
3858
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3859
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3860
 
3861
    * MOS builds
3862
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3863
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3864
 
3865
    * MOS builds
3866
      New 'known' product: PICP
3867
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3868
 
3869
    * GenerateFiles directive
3870
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3871
        under windows.
3872
 
3873
        .
3874
 
3875
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3876
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3877
 
3878
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3879
      to the output stream.
3880
 
3881
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3882
 
3883
    * Windows Shell
3884
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3885
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3886
 
3887
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3888
 
3889
    * H8S toolset
3890
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3891
 
3892
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3893
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3894
 
3895
Internal changes
3896
    * WinCe builds
3897
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3898
      content of the file.
3899
 
3900
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3901
 
3902
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3903
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3915
Major changes:
3916
 
3917
Minor changes:
3918
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3919
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3920
      Changes are transparent to users.
3921
 
3922
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3923
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3924
      this occurs.
3925
 
3926
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3927
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3928
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3929
      automated build framework.
3930
 
3931
    * jats sandbox command
3932
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3933
      'create' command.
3934
 
3935
    * jats command aliases. Added
3936
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3937
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3942
Major changes:
3943
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3944
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3945
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3946
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3947
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3948
      will work as expected
3949
 
3950
Minor changes:
3951
    * VS2008 Toolset
3952
      Picking up incorrect config details
3953
      May result in a warning message.
3954
 
3955
    * gen_cots utility
3956
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3957
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3958
 
3959
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3960
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

4007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4008
Major changes:
4009
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4010
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4011
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4012
 
4013
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4014
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4015
 
4016
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4017
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4018
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4019
           names cannot be changed.
4020
 
4021
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4022
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4023
 
4024
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4025
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4026
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4027
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4028
 
4029
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4030
      file.
4031
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4032
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4033
      MyPackage.dpk.
4034
 
4035
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4036
      file.
4037
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4038
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4039
      MyDll.dpr.
4040
 
4041
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4042
      file.
4043
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4044
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4045
      MyProg.dpr.
4046
 
4047
Minor changes:
4048
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4049
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4050
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4051
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4052
 
4053
    * BuildVersion directive
4054
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4055
      in a Delphi Unit.
4056
 
4057
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4058
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4059
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4060
      'know' the location of the files.
4061
 
4062
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4063
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4064
 
4065
Internal Changes:
4066
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4067
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4068
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4069
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4070
 
4071
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4072
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4073
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4078
Major changes:
4079
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4080
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4081
      information for purely C++ builds.
4082
 
289 dpurdie 4083
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4084
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4085
 
289 dpurdie 4086
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4087
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4088
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4089
 
4090
Minor changes:
4091
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4092
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4093
 
4094
    * updatenodespec utility
4095
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4096
      Manager database.

Major changes:
4131
 
4132
Minor changes:
4133
    * New command: jats make show
4134
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4135
      used in the build.
4136
 
4137
    * Escrow command
4138
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4139
 
4140
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4141
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4142
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4143
 
4144
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4145
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

4150
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4151
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4152
 
279 dpurdie 4153
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4154
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4155
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4156
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4157
 
4158
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4159
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4160
 
4161
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4162
 
4163
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4164
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4165
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4166
 
4167
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4168
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4169
        processed.
4170
 
4171
      Removed the '-delete' option
4172
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4173
 
277 dpurdie 4174
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4175
    * Sandbox command
4176
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4177
 
4178
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4179
      target from consideration in the build set.
4180
 
4181
    * MCR Toolset
4182
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4183
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4184
 
4185
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4186
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4187
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4188
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4189
 
4190
    * Jats run_test command
4191
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4192
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4193
 
4194
    * descpkg file
4195
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4196
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4197
 
4198
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4199
     Now contains build trace information
4200
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4201
 
4202
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4203
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4204
     it contains 'jar' files.
4205
 
4206
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4207
 
4208
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4209
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4210
 
4211
   * BuildVersion directive
4212
     Form:
4213
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4214
     now works as expected.
4215
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4216
 
4217
Internal Changes:
4218
 
4219
    * Error reporting mechanism
4220
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4221
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4222
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4232
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4233
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4234
    then starts.
4235
 
4236
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4237
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4238
 
4239
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4240
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4241
    non-platform option.
4242
 
279 dpurdie 4243
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
4382
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4383
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4384
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

4407
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4408
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4409
 
4410
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4528
      New target and toolset: VERIX
4529
 
4530
    * Jats utility: jats_save_build
4531
      Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
4532
      from the Build Daemons.
4533
 
4534
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
4535
 
4536
      Suggested new usage:
4537
        jats etool jats_save_build
4538
                        -pname=xxxx
4539

4546
Minor changes:
4547
    * JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
4548
      Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
4549
      artifacts.
4550
 
4551
    * JATS make: New option expert=0|1
4552
      Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
4553
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
4554
 
4555
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4556
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4557
      time.
4558
 
4559
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4560
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."
4561
 
4562
    * Nunit support in CSHARP
4563
      Improved support for different version of Nunit
4564

    * Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
4572
      Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.
4573
 
4574
Internal Changes:
4575
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4576
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4577
      Previously was being done at two places
4578
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4579
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4580
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4581
 
4582
    * JATS make: Command line
4583
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4584
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
4585
 
4586
      It didn't work on all platforms.
4587
      Is better does with "options=args" or "options=allargs"
4588
 
4589
    * JATS command line
4590
      Improved operation of the -help,-man, -verbose and -debug options
4591
      to allow:
4592
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4593
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4594
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4595
 
4596
    * JATS makefile generation
4597
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
4598
      Improved readability of the generation process
4599
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
4600
      Removed dead code
4601
      Improved the creation of Progs
4602
 
4603
    * JATS error reporting
4604
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
4605
      problems.
4606
 
4607
      Corrected problem in the use of GBE_[tag]_VERBOSE and GBE_[tag]_DEBUG
4608
      environment variables where the 'tag' contains a space.
4609
 
4610
    * Assorted Perl files
4611
      Minor corrected after running Perl Syntax check over JATS files.
4612
 
4613
    * Made the use of IFLAGS uniform for all JATS toolsets
4614
      Removed the need, and use of IFLAGS3; simplifying the generated
4615
      makefiles
4616
 
4617
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
4618
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4619
 
4620
    * FileUtils package.
4621
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4622
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.
4623
      Used functions within JATS.

257 dpurdie 4636
Major changes:
4637
 
4638
    * Jats make: Package and Install directives [DEVI-049299]
4639
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4640
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4641
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4642
 
4643
Minor changes:
4644
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4645
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4646
 
4647
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4648
      some windows tools.

Version:  2.76.0000.cr                               Released: 24-Jun-08
4652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4653
Major changes:
4654
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4655
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4656
 
4657
      New platforms:
4658
        CSHARP2005
4659
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4660
         Support extends to allow:
4661
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4662
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4663
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4664
 
4665
        VS2005
4666
         Support extends to allow:
4667
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4668
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4669
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4670
 
4671
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4672
      through a version selector:
4673
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4674
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4675
 
4676
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4677
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4678
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4679
 
4680
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4681
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4682
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4683
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4684
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4685
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4686
          under VS2005.
4687
 
4688
Minor changes:
4689
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4690
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4691
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4692
 
4693
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4694
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4695
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4696
 
4697
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4698
 
4699
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4700
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4701
 
4702
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4703
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4704
      a minimal value of perl.
4705
 
4706
      Removed excessive require statements.
4707
 
4708
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4709
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4710
      Include JATS specific files for
4711
        1) Windows
4712
        2) Linux
4713
 
4714
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4715
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4716
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4717
      machines.
4718
 
4719
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4720
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4721
 
4722
    * JATS Environment
4723
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4724
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4725
 
4726
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4727
      wrapper scripts.
4728
 
4729
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4730
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4731
      Spell check help and code.

      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
4755
      options are passed correctly.
4756
 
4757
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4758
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4759
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4760
      was added.
4761
 
4762
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4763
      reviewing a new package.
4764
 
4765
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4766
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4767
      automatically included in the source file list.
4768
 
253 dpurdie 4769

4782
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4784
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4785
  * New toolset and platform
4786
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4787
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4788
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4789
    this platform.
4790
 
4791
Minor changes:
4792
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4793
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4794
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4795
    work.
4796
 
4797
  * Jats utility: release
4798
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4799
    published to dpkg_archive.
4800
 
249 dpurdie 4801
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4802
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4803
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4804
    supported for ANT builds.
4805
 
4806
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4807
        releasemanager.releasename
4808
        releasemanager.projectname
4809
 
4810
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4811
    tagged data item of the form
4812
 
4813
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4814
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4815
 
4816
  * Mug File Generation
4817
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4818
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4819
 
4820
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4821
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4822
    required.
4823
 
4824
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4825
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4826
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4827
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4828
    the files in order to use them.
4829
 
4830
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4831
    locate the file.
4832
 
4833
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4834
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4835
 
4836
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4837
        * CSharp
4838
        * Properties
4839
        * WinRC
4840
 
4841
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4842
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4843
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4844
    Value is correctly assigned.
4845
 
4846

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4849
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4850
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4851
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4852
 
4853
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4854
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4855
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4856
 
4857
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4858
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4859
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4860
 
4861
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4862
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4863
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4864
 
4865
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4866
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4867
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4868
    correct.
4869
 
4870
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4871
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4872
 
4873
Minor changes:
4874
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4875
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4876
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4877
 
4878
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4879
    This will simplify new user setup.
4880
 
4881
  * All Unix Toolsets
4882
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4883
    on unix systems
4884
 
4885
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4886
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4887
    on some Solaris Machines.
4888
 
4889
  * JATS -version=<version>
4890
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4891
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4892
 
4893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4894
Version:  2.73.4000.cr                               Released: 10-Apr-08

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4896
Major changes:
243 dpurdie 4897
    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 4898
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 4899
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4900
 
4901
Minor changes:
4902
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4903
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4904
 
4905
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4906
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

4945
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4946

5049
    * MOS Compiler
5050
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5051
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5052
 
5053
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5054
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5055
      descpkg files to be copied.
5056
 
5057
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5058
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

5092
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5093
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5094
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5095
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5096
 
5097
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5098
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5099
 
5100
    * Jats wrapper
5101
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5102
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5103

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5107
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5108
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5109
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5110
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5111
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5112
 
5113
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5114
 
5115
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5116
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5117
 
5118
    * Running Jats
5119
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5120
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5121
      This may affect some windows developers.
5122
 
5123
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5124
      Future versions will generate an error.
5125
 
5126
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5127
 
5128
Minor changes:
5129
    * Perl Version Check
5130
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5131
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5132
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5133
 
5134
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5135
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5136
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5137
      build.
5138
 
5139
    * Jats Internals
5140
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5141
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5142
 
5143
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5144
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5145
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5146
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5147
      process.
5148
 
5149
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5150
      Only works under Windows.
5151
 
5152
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5153
 
5154
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5155
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5156
 
5157
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5158
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5159
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5160
 
5161
    * Jats eprog
5162
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5163
      directory.
5164
 
5165
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5166
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5167
      build metrics.
5168
 
5169

5172
Major changes:
5173
 
5174
Minor changes:
5175
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5176
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5177
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5178
      automated build system. New options are:
5179
        -pname=Package_Name
5180
        -pversion=Package_Version
5181
 
5182
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5183
      transferring the package. New options are:
5184
        -test
5185
 
5186
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5187
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5188
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5189
 
5190
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5191
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5192
 
5193
    * Solaris Toolset
5194
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5195
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5196
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5201
Major changes:
5202
 
5203
Minor changes:
5204
    * WINCE toolsets
5205
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5206
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5207
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5208
      when header files cannot be found.
5209
 
5210
    * GenerateFiles directive
5211
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5212
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5213
      that are difficult to solve.
5214
 
5215
    * MakePerlModule directive
5216
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5217
      to the the module builder.
5218
 
5219
    * Jats Tool: label
5220
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5221
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5222
      -dirs=xxx options.
5223
 
5224
    * Jats Tool: release
5225
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5226
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5227
 
5228
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5229
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5230
 
5231
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5232
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5233
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5234
 
5235
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5257
 
5258
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5259
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5260

      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5314
      inconsistent packages.
5315
 
5316
    * jats make help
5317
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5318
      available within the current build.
5319
 
5320
    * jats makefiles
5321
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5322
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5323
 
5324
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5325
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5326
 
5327
    * gcc toolset
5328
      SharedLibries.
5329
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5330
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5331
 
5332
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5333
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5334
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5335
 
5336
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5337
        New options:
5338
            --MultiScan
5339
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5340
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5341
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5349
Minor changes:
5350
    PackageLib directive
5351
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5352
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5353
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5354
 
5355
    MakefileGenerate directive
5356
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5357
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5358
 
5359
    Multiple Parent detection
5360
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5361
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5362
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5363
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5364
 
5365
    Solaris Toolset
5366
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5367
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5368
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5369
    link.
5370
 
5371
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5372
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5373
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5374
 
5375
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5376
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5377
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5378
    file.

5382
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5383
Major changes:
5384
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5385
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5386
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5387
 
5388
    Summary of changes:
5389
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5390
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5391
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5392
          flexibility.
5393
 
5394
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5395
 
5396
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5397
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5398
          interface directory and associated build information.
5399
 
5400
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5401
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5402
          than one second.
5403
 
5404
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5405
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5406
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5407
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5408
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5409
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5410
 
5411
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5412
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5413
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5414
 
5415
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5416
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5417
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5418
          building them.
5419
 
5420
        - Detection of build file changes
5421
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5422
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5423
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5424
 
5425
        - Quieter make output
5426
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5427
 
5428
 
5429
Minor changes:
5430
    MakeAnt Directive
5431
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5432
 
5433
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5434
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5435
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5436
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5437
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5438
 
5439
    CSHARP toolset
5440
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5441

5451
    MakeAnt
5452
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5453
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5454
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5455
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.

5471
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5472
 
5473
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5474
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5475
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5476
        package image being created.

5496
 
5497
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5498
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5499
 
5500
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5501
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5502
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5503

Minor changes:

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5536
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5537
 
5538
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5539
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5540
      last.
5541
 
5542
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5543
 
5544
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5545
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5546
 
5547
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5548
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5549
 
5550
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5551
 
5552
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5553
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5554
 
5555
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5556
 
5557
 
5558
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5559

5582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5583
Major changes:
5584
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5585
 
5586
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5587
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5588
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5589
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5590
      path.
5591
 
5592
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5593
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5594
      reproducible.
5595
 
5596
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5597
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5598
 
5599
      There are several aspects to the change
5600
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5601
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5602
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5603
 
5604
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5605
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5606
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5607
          controlled separately.
5608
 
5609
Minor changes:
5610
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5611
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5612
        Remove duplicates
5613
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5614

5620
Minor changes:
5621
    * Makefile sanity test
5622
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5623
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5624
 
5625
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5626
      x86 machine.
5627
 
5628
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5629
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5630

5633
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5634
Major changes:
5635
    * RunTest directive
5636
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5637
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5638
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5639
 
5640
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5641
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5642
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5643
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5644
 
5645
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5646
        builder within the current toolset.
5647
 
5648
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5649
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5650
 
5651
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5652
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5653
      containing the RunTest directive.
5654
 
5655
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5656
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5657
 
5658
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5659
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5660
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5661
 
5662
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5663
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5664
                            P or D suffix.
5665
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5666
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5667
 
5668
Minor changes:
5669
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5670
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5671
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5672
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5673
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5674
 
5675
    * Save Build Utility
5676
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5677
      used in a ripple build.
5678
 
5679
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5680
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5681
 
5682
    * Release Utility
5683
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5684
      when an error is encountered.
5685
 
5686
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5687
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5688
 
5689
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5690
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5691
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5692
 
5693
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5694
      before the makefiles are created.
5695
 
5696
    * TestProg directive
5697
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5698
 
5699
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5700
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5704
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5705
Major changes:
5706
    * New build target
5707
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5708
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5709
 
5710
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5711
            DEVLINUX
5712
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5713
 
5714
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5715
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5716
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5717
 
5718
Minor changes:
5719
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5720
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5721
 
5722
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5723
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5724
 
5725
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5726
      and .cs files.
5727
 
5728
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5729
      thing.
5730
 
5731
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5732
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5733
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5734
      were it places temp files.
5735
 
5736
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5737
      interaction with other builds.
5738
 
5739
    * Release utility command
5740
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5741
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5742
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Major changes:
5791
 
5792
Minor changes:
5793
  * WINCE Support
5794
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5795
 
5796
  * Removed the following targets
5797
        TP5600
5798
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5799
        TP5600_EMU
5800
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5801
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5802
 
5803
  * Deployment
5804
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5805
 
5806
  * build.pl
5807
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5808
 
5809
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5810
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5811
 
5812
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5813
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5814
    build.
5815
 
5816
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5817
 
5818
  * Tool: escrow
5819
     New features
5820
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5821
     are not in the SBOM.
5822
 
5823
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5824
 
5825
     Specify packages to be ignored.
5826

5829
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5830
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5831
Major changes:
5832
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5833
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5834
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5835
 
5836
  * GenerateFiles
5837
    Added the options:
5838
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5839
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5840
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5841
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5842
 
5843
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5844
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5845
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5846
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5847
                                  required.
5848
 
5849
 
5850
Minor changes:
5851
  * GenerateFile directive
5852
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5853
 
5854
  * GCC Toolset
5855
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5856
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5857
    be rebuilt.
5858
 
5859
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5860
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5861
 
5862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5863
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5864
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5865
Major changes:
5866
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5867
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5868
    environment variables.
5869
 
5870
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5871
            moved.
5872
 
5873
    This will affect users that:
5874
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5875
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5876
 
5877
        2) Use the ABT system
5878
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5879
           the required configuration
5880
 
5881
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5882
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5883
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5884
    Windows
5885
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5886
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5887
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5888
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5889
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5890
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5891
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5892
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5893
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5894
 
5895
 
5896
  * New build platforms
5897
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5898
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5899
 
5900
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5901
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5902
 
5903
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5904
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5905
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5906
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5907
 
5908
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5909
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5910
    release.
5911
 
5912
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5913
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5914
 
5915
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5916
    need to be converted.
5917
 
5918
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5919
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5920
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5921
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5922
    used for different targets platforms.
5923
 
5924
  * Sandbox support
5925
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5926
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5927
 
5928
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5929
 
5930
Minor changes:
5931
 
5932
 
5933
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5934
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5936
Major changes:
5937
  * MakeAnt directive
5938
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5939
 
5940
    New options
5941
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5942
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5943
 
5944
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5945
    run_unit_tests phase.
5946
 
5947
  * Sandbox support
5948
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5949
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5950
 
5951
Minor changes:
5952
  * jats build
5953
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5954
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5955
 
5956
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5957
 
5958
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5959
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5960
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5961
 
5962
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5963
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5964
 
5965
  * JATS.BAT
5966
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5967
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5968
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5969
 
5970
  * jats label
5971
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5972
 
5973
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5974
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5975
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5976
Major changes:
5977
  * New build platform:
5978
        LMOS_TP5600
5979
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5980
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5981
 
5982
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
5983
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
5984
    describe the group of platforms.
5985
 
5986
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5987
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
5988
    build these targets.
5989
 
5990
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
5991
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
5992
 
5993
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
5994
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
5995
 
5996
  * New build platform: WINCE
5997
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
5998
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
5999
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6000
 
6001
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6002
            WCEIT3000
6003
            WCEPA961
6004
            WCEPA962
6005
            WCEPCM7220
6006
            WCEPSION_420
6007
            WCEPSPC_arm
6008
            WCEPSPC_emu
6009
            WCEX86A420
6010
            WCEX86A500
6011
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6012
 
6013
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6014
 
6015
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6016
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6017
    that contain packaging directives.
6018
 
6019
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6020
    very unusual configurations.
6021
 
6022
Minor changes:
6023
  * Directive: PackageFile
6024
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6025
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6026
    an '='.
6027
 
6028
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6029
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6030
 
6031
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6032
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6033
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6034
 
6035
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6036
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6037
 
6038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6039
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6041
Major changes:
6042
 
6043
  * JATS release command
6044
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6045
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6046
 
6047
    Rules are:
6048
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6049
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6050
                            File will be placed on a branch
6051
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6052
                            New directory will branch
6053
 
6054
Minor changes:
6055
  * JATS release command
6056
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6057
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6058
 
6059
  * JATS label command
6060
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6061
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6062
 
6063
  * JATS make
6064
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6065
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6066
    was re-packaged.
6067
 
6068
  * JATS escrow
6069
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6070
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6071
 
6072
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6073
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6074
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6075
 
6076
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6077
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6078
    interface directory.
6079
 
6080
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6081
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6082
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6083
    directory as seen by the package.
6084
 
6085
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6086
 
6087
  * JAVA 6
6088
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6089
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6090
 
6091
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6092
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6093
 
6094
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6095
 
6096
  * Jats command: vars
6097
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6098
    These indicate potential problems.
6099
 
6100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6101
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6103
Major changes:
6104
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6105
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6106
    libarry is also created.
6107
 
6108
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6109
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6110
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6111
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6112
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6113
    information contained within the file.
6114
 
6115
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6116
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6117
 
6118
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6119
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6120
 
6121
  * Building Perl Modules
6122
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6123
    documentation on the build machine.
6124
 
6125
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6126
 
6127
Minor changes:
6128
  * jats create_dpkg
6129
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6130
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6131
 
6132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6133
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6135
Major changes:
6136
  * JATS JAVA build target
6137
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6138
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6139
 
6140
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6141
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6142
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6143
    is then picked up as the default version.
6144
 
6145
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6146
    build.pl file.
6147
 
6148
Minor changes:
6149
  * jats release
6150
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6151
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6152
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6153
 
6154
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6155
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6156
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6157
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6158
    the name of the view.
6159
 
6160
  * GenerateFiles directive
6161
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6162
 
6163
  * MOS Toolset
6164
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6165
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6166
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6167
 
6168
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6169
 
6170
 
6171
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6172
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6174
Major changes:
6175
 
6176
Minor changes:
6177
  * JATS environment
6178
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6179
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6180
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6181
 
6182
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6183
 
6184
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6185
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6186
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6187
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6188
    to be packaged.
6189
 
6190
  * Generated makefiles
6191
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6192
 
6193
  * Generating MOS THX files
6194
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6195
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6196
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6197
 
6198
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6199
 
6200
  * JATS release
6201
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6202
 
6203
  * JATS extract
6204
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6205
 
6206
  * JATS Toolset
6207
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6208
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6209
 
6210
 
6211
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6212
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6214
Major changes:
6215
 
6216
Minor changes:
6217
  * jats label
6218
    Added a -vob=name option
6219
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6220
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6221
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6222
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6223
 
6224
    Added a -user=name option
6225
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6226
    label to the named user.
6227
 
6228
  * jats release
6229
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6230
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6231
 
6232
  * JATS build.pl
6233
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6234
    ie:
6235
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6236
 
6237
 
6238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6239
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6241
Major changes:
6242
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6243
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6244
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6245
    the makefile internals. ie:
6246
        --Var(BuildName)
6247
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6248
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6249
 
6250
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6251
 
6252
  * GenerateFiles
6253
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6254
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6255
 
6256
  * BuildPlatforms
6257
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6258
 
6259
Minor changes:
6260
  * GCC Toolset
6261
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6262
 
6263
Internal changes:
6264
  * GenerateFiles
6265
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6266
 
6267
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6268
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6269
 
6270
 
6271
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6272
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6274
Major changes:
6275
  * Caching JATS
6276
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6277
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6278
 
6279
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6280
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6281
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6282
 
6283
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6284
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6285
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6286
 
6287
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6288
 
6289
Minor changes:
6290
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6291
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6292
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6293
 
6294
  * jats build
6295
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6296
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6297
    processed by the build.
6298
 
6299
  * jats build
6300
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6301
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6302
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6303
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6304
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6305
 
6306
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6307
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6308
    Path is not specified.
6309
 
6310
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6311
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6312
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6313
        --Dir=$Pinc
6314
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6315
 
6316
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6317
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6318
    Windows platform.
6319
 
6320
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6321
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6322
            by 'purecov.
6323
 
6324
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6325
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6326
 
6327
        - OPTIONS=purify
6328
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6329
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6330
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6331

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6336
Major changes:
6337
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6338
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6339
    Example:
6340
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6341
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6342
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6343
 
6344
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6345
    been determined.
6346
 
6347
Minor changes:
6348
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6349
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6350
    located at build-time.
6351
 
6352
  * Unix based systems
6353
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6354
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6355
 
6356
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6357
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6358
    driver being built.
6359
 
6360
 
6361
------------------------------------------------------------------------

6365
 
6366
 
6367
Minor changes:
6368
  * jats_rewrite tool
6369
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6370
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6371
 
6372
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6373
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6374
 
6375
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6376
    dependancy information within a package.
6377
 
6378
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6379
    messages.
6380
 
6381
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6382
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6383
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6384
Major changes:
6385
  * makefile.pl directives
6386
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6387
 
6388
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6389
 
6390
    GenerateFiles.
6391
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6392
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6393
                      be run on every invocation.
6394
 
6395
 
6396
Minor changes:
6397
  * Added the jats version command
6398
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6399
 
6400
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6401
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6402
  There are two mechanism:
6403
 
6404
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6405
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6406
 
6407
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6408
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6409
 
6410
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6411
  default.
6412
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6413
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6414

6417
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6418
Major changes:
6419
  * SunWorks Toolset
6420
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6421
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6422
    It is based on machine type.
6423
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6424
 
6425
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6426
 
6427
Minor changes:
6428
  * Perl DBI interface
6429
    Removed the message showing database connection
6430
 
6431
  * JATS internal library
6432
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6433
 
6434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6435
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6437
Major changes:
6438
  * GCC Toolset
6439
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6440
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6441
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6442
 
6443
  * Added platforms
6444
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6445
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6446
    TP5600_EMU
6447
 
6448
Minor changes:
6449
  * descpkg file reader
6450
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6451
    field separator.
6452
 
6453
  * JATS eprog command
6454
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6455
 
6456
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6457
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6458
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6459
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6460
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6461
 
6462
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6463
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6464
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6465
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6466
 
6467
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6468
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
6469

6471
Version: JATS_2.58.0                                Released: 16-Oct-06
6472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6473
Major changes:  Directive: RunTests
6474
  * The --CopyIn option will always copy in the specified files
6475
 
6476
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
6477
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
6478
 
6479
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6480
 
6481
 
6482
Minor changes:
6483
  * JATS wrapper script
6484
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6485
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6486
    to setup links to system programs.
6487

Major changes:
6507
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6508
    Added CompileOptions
6509
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6510
        no_misalign         - Default
6511
 
6512
        multithread         - Default

  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6516
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6517
 
6518

6530
    Theses are:
6531
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6532
        SOLARIS_AMD
6533
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6534
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6535
 
6536
Minor changes:
6537

6547
Major changes:
6548
 
6549
Minor changes:
6550
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6551
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6552
    messages
6553
 
6554
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6555
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6556
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6557
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6558
 
6559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6560
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6562
Major changes:
6563
 
6564
Minor changes:
6565
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6566
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6567
    library without creating the body of the library:
6568
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6569
 
6570
 
6571
  * MOS toolsets
6572
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6573
    library without creating the body of the library:
6574
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6575
 
6576
  * JATS BIN directories
6577
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6578
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6579
    using autoconf.
6580
 
6581
  * Generate directive
6582
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6583
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6584
 
6585
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6586

6589
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6591
Major changes:
6592
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6593
    Initial release.
6594
 
6595
Minor changes:
6596
 
6597
 
6598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6599
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Major changes:
6602
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6603
    Initial release.
6604
 
6605
  * Packaging directives
6606
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6607
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6608
 
6609
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6610
        SOLARIS
6611
        WIN32
6612
 
6613
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6614
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6615
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6616
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6617
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6618
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6619
 
6620
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6621
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6622
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6623
 
6624
 
6625
Minor changes:
6626
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6627
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6628
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6629
 
6630
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6631
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6632
    location
6633
 
6634
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6635
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6636
 
6637
  * Utility genrc
6638
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6639
 
6640
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6641
    Added option: -new
6642
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6643
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6644
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6645
 
6646
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6647
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6648
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6649
 
6650
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6651
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6652
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6653
 
6654
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6655
   features - in a uniform manner.
6656
 
6657
 
6658
Internal Changes:
6659
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6660
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6661
 
6662
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6663
        1) Platform information available at build time
6664
        2) Dynamic platform names
6665
 
6666
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6667
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6668
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6669
 
6670
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6671
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6672
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6673
 
6674
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6675
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6676
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6677
    needed.
6678
 
6679
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6680
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6681
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6682
    files from all of these.
6683

6685
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6687
Major changes:
6688
 
6689
Minor changes:
6690
  * WinCE toolset
6691
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6692
 
6693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6694
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6695
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6696
Major changes:
6697
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6698
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6699
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6700
 
6701
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6702
 
6703
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6704
    the operations.
6705
 
6706
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6707
 
6708
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6709
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6710
 
6711
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6712
 
6713
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6714
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6715
 
6716
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6717
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6718
    Extended the built-in help
6719
    Added useful error messages
6720
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6721
 
6722
  * WinCE toolset
6723
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6724
 
6725
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6726
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6727
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6728
 
6729
Minor changes:
6730
  * JATS wrapper script
6731
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6732
    the command line.
6733
 
6734
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6735
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6736
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6737
 
6738
Internal Changes:
6739
  * Common Error Reporting
6740
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6741
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6742
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6743
    level.
6744
 
6745
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6746
    displayed.
6747
 
6748
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6749
 
6750
  * Added JatsSystem module
6751
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6753
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6755
Major changes:
6756
 
6757
Minor changes:
6758
  * BR Compiler toolset
6759
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6760
    .def files to include other files.
6761
 
6762
  * IAR toolset
6763
    Added AT7272 support
6764
 
6765
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6766
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6767
 
6768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6769
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6771
Major changes:
6772
 
6773
Minor changes:
6774
  * BR Compiler toolset
6775
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6776
    use.
6777
 
6778
 
6779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6780
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6782
Major changes:
6783
 
6784
Minor changes:
6785
  * Mictotec toolset
6786
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6787
    builds.
6788
 
6789
  * JATS Core
6790
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6791
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6792
    behaviour.
6793
 
6794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6795
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6797
Major changes:
6798
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6799
    Deployment package will be affected.
6800
 
6801
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6802
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6803
 
6804
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6805
 
6806
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6807
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6808
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6809
    packages.
6810
 
6811
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6812
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6813
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6814
 
6815
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6816
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6817
 
6818
Minor changes:
6819
  * SubDir directive
6820
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6821
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6822
 
6823
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6824
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6825
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6826
    of the file usage.
6827
 
6828
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6829
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6830
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6831
 
6832
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6833
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6834
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6835
 
6836
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6837
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6838
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6839
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6840
 
6841
 
6842
Internal Changes:
6843
  * Code refactor
6844
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6845
 
6846
  * Deployment utilities
6847
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6848
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6849
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6850
    the module can locate the file.
6851
 
6852
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6853
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6854
 
6855
  * JATS core
6856
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6857
 
6858
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6859
 
6860
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6861
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6862
    through the use of environment variables.
6863
 
6864
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6865
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6866
 
6867
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6868
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6869
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6870
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6871
 
6872
  * Make environment
6873
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6874
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6875
 
6876
 
6877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6878
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6880
Major changes:
6881
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6882
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6883
 
6884
 
6885
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6886
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6888
 
6889
Not Released.
6890
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6891
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6892
 
6893
 
6894
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6895
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6896
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6897
Major changes:
6898
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6899
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6900
    radically replaced.
6901
 
6902
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6903
    Usage:
6904
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6905
 
6906
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6907
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6908
    this solution:
6909
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6910
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6911
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6912
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6913
 
6914
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6915
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6916
    order to work.
6917
 
6918
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6919
    reduced functionality.
6920
 
6921
 
6922
Minor changes:
6923
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6924
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6925
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6926
 
6927
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6928
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6929
    within the makefiles.
6930
        Options:
6931
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6932
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6933
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6934
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6935
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6936
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6937
        Useage:
6938
 
6939
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6940
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6941
 
6942
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6943
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6944
    is not in the current directory.
6945
 
6946
  * Jats Command: ant'
6947
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6948
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6949
 
6950
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6951
 
6952
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6953
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6954
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6955
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6956
 
6957
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6958
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6959
    Thus
6960
 
6961
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6962
 
6963
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6964
 
6965

Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6969
Major changes:
6970
 
6971
Minor changes:
6972
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6973
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6974
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6975
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6976
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6977
 
6978
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6979
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6980
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6981
 
6982
Internal changes:
6983
  * JATS toolsets
6984
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
6985
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
6986
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
6987
 
6988
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
6989
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
6990
 
6991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6992
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
6993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6994
Major changes:
6995
  * Jats command: etool
6996
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
6997
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
6998
 
6999
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7000
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7001
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7002
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7003
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7004
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7005
 
7006
Minor changes:
7007
 
7008
 
7009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7010
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7012
Major changes:
7013
  * JATS environment variables
7014
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7015
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7016
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7017
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7018
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7019
 
7020
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7021
              Remote repository
7022
 
7023
    Added GBE_DPLY
7024
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7025
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7026
 
7027
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7028
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7029
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7030
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7031
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7032
 
7033
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7034
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7035
 
7036
 
7037
Minor changes:
7038
  * JATS utility: build
7039
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7040
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7041
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7042
 
7043
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7044
    Ensure label is not locked
7045
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7046
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7047
 
7048
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7049
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7050
    to a specific type of build.
7051
 
7052
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7053
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7054
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7055
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7056
 
7057
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7058
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7059
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7060
 
7061
  * JATS utility: release
7062
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7063
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7064
 
7065
  * JATS utility: label
7066
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7067
    when it is being created.
7068
 
7069
Internal Changes
7070
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7071
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7072
 
7073
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7074
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7075
 
7076
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7077
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7078
    different results.
7079
 
7080
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7081
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7082
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7083
 
7084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7085
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7087
Major changes:
7088
 
7089
  * MCR toolset
7090
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7091
 
7092
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7093
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7095
Major changes:
7096
  * WIN32 utilities
7097
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7098
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7099
 
7100
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7101
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7102
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7103
 
7104
Minor changes:
7105
  * BuildVersion
7106
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7107
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7108
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7109
 
7110
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7111
 
7112
  * Unix Builds
7113
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7114
    library or a shared library.
7115
 
7116
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7117
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7118
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7119
    start with 'lib'.
7120
 
7121
  * BuildPkgArchive
7122
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7123
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7124
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7125
 
7126
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7127
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7129
Major changes:
7130
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7131
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7132
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7133
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7134
    being manually maintained.
7135
 
7136
 
7137
Minor changes:
7138
  * MakeAnt directive
7139
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7140
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7141
    supports ANT builds.
7142
 
7143
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7144
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7145
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7146
 
7147
  * Label utility
7148
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7149
    files to be labeled.
7150
 
7151
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7152
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7153
    on Solaris.
7154
 
7155
  * Generated makefiles
7156
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7157
    nothing.
7158
 
7159
  * MOS Toolset
7160
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7161
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7162
    modules.
7163
 
7164
  * Utility: gen_cots
7165
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7166
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7167
 
7168
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7169
 
7170
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7171
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7172
 
7173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7174
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7176
Major changes:
7177
  None
7178
 
7179
Minor changes:
7180
  * DEVI addressed
7181
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7182
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7183
 
7184
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7185
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7186
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7187
 
7188
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7189
 
7190
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7191
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7192
 
7193
  * RunTest directive
7194
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7195
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7196
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7197
 
7198
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7199
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7200
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7201
    packaged under JATS
7202
 
7203
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7204
          supported within JATS.
7205
 
7206
  * Jats utility wrapper
7207
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7208
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7209
 
7210
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7211
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7212
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7213
 
7214
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7215
    Eg: jats ant
7216
 
7217
  * Jats utility wrapper
7218
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7219
 
5710 dpurdie 7220
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7221
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7222
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7223
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7224
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7225
 
5710 dpurdie 7226
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7227
    expect a build.pl file.
7228
 
7229
  * Jats utility wrapper
7230
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7231
 
7232
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7233
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7234
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7235
 
7236
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7237
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7238
 
7239
  * Build files
7240
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7241
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7242
 
7243

7244
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7245
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7246
Major changes:
7247
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7248
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7249
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7250
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7251
 
7252
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7253
 
7254
Minor changes:
7255
  * None
7256
 
7257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7258
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7260
Major changes:
7261
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7262
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7263
    ie:
7264
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7265
 
7266
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7267
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7268
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7269
    environments are compatible.
7270
 
7271
 
7272
Minor changes:
7273
  * BuildName option
7274
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7275
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7276
 
7277
  * jats.bat
7278
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7279
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7280
 
7281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7282
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7284
Major changes:
7285
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7286
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7287
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7288
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7289
 
7290
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7291
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7292
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7293
 
7294
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7295
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7296
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7297
 
7298
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7299
    transferred.
7300
 
7301
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7302
    See notes below.
7303
 
7304
  * WIN32 toolset
7305
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7306
    correctly.
7307
 
7308
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7309
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7310
 
7311
  * BuildVersion
7312
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7313
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7314
    other langauges as needed.
7315
 
7316
 
7317
Minor changes:
7318
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7319
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7320
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7321
    version strings.
7322
 
7323
  * GenerateFiles directive
7324
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7325
    package or an imported package.
7326
 
7327
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7328
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7329
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7330
 
7331
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7332
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7333
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7334
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7335
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7336
 
7337
Internal Changes
7338
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7339
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7340
    of utilities.
7341
 
7342
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7343
    functions.
7344

7346
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7348
Major changes:
7349
  * Generated makefiles
7350
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7351
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7352
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7353
 
7354
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7355
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7356
    incorrectly processing:
7357
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7358
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7359
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7360
    confused.
7361
 
7362
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7363
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7364
    The construct
7365
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7366
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7367
    then it works.
7368
 
7369
  * MakeAnt directive
7370
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7371
 
7372
    This option has the following effects
7373
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7374
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7375
 
7376
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7377
           early - in the generated files phase.
7378
 
7379
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7380
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7381
 
7382
 
7383
Minor changes:
7384
  * JATS post-installation script
7385
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7386
 
7387
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7388
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7389
    windows.
7390
 
7391
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7392
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7393
 
7394
  * Jats wrapper script
7395
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7396
        1) Contain spaces
7397
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7398
 
7399
  * Toolset
7400
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7401
 
7402
  * JAVA toolset
7403
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7404
    directive:
7405
 
7406
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7407
 
7408
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7409
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7410
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7411
 
7412
  * GCC Toolset
7413
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7414
 
7415
  * Makefile generation
7416
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7417
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7418
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7419
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7420
    package could not be used.
7421
 
7422
  * Unit Tests
7423
    The following environment variables are set:
7424
 
7425
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7426
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7427
 
7428
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7429
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7430
 
7431
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7432
 
7433
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7434
 
7435
 
7436
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7437
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7439
Major changes:
7440
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7441
 
7442
    Special features of this toolset.
7443
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7444
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7445
       incorporated within the target image.
7446
 
7447
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7448
       --Set=Name=Value
7449
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7450
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7451
 
7452
       --Ref=name
7453
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7454
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7455
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7456
                will be taken from the build version number.
7457
 
7458
Minor changes:
7459
  * MOS Toolset
7460
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7461
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7462
    packaged.
7463
 
7464
  * Src directive
7465
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7466
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7467
    specifier.
7468
 
7469
  * WIN32 runtime support
7470
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7471
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7472
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7473
 
7474
Internal:
7475
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7476
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7477
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7478
 
7479
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7480
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7482
Major changes:
7483
    * BuildAlias directive
7484
      Added options.
7485
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7486
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7487
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7488
                          targets.
7489
      Eg:
7490
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7491
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7492
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7493
 
7494
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7495
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7496
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7497
 
7498
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7499
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7500
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7501
 
7502
 
7503
Minor changes:
7504
  * Label utility
7505
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7506
    build.pl file
7507
 
7508
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7509
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7510
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7511
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7512
    --FilterIn option.
7513
 
7514
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7515
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7516
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7517
 
7518
  * Location of descpkg file
7519
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7520
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7521
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7522
 
7523
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7524
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7525
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7526
Major changes:
7527
  * RunTest directive
7528
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7529
    Additional options
7530
      --CopyIn=file
7531
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7532
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7533
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7534
        the test area.
7535
 
7536
    Additional operations
7537
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7538
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7539
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7540
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7541
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7542
    Allows flags:
7543
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7544
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7545
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7546
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7547
 
7548
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7549
    existence is tested.
7550
 
7551
  * Packaging Directives
7552
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7553
    such as LMOS.
7554
 
7555
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7556
 
7557
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7558
 
7559
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7560
 
7561
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7562
 
7563
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7564
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7565
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7566
 
7567
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7568
 
7569
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7570
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7571
 
7572
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7573
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7574
 
7575
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7576
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7577
 
7578
Minor changes:
7579
  * Script directive
7580
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7581
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7582
 
7583
  * JATS environment
7584
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7585
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7586
    the JATS wrapper script.
7587
 
7588
  * Label utility
7589
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7590
    There are three modes of operation:
7591
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7592
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7593
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7594
 
7595
 
7596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7597
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7599
Major changes:
7600
 
7601
Minor changes:
7602
  * label utility
7603
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7604
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7605
 
7606
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7607
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7608
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7609
      --ProgLoader=name
7610
 
7611
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7612
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7613
    Options to do this are:
7614
        --TreeDir=name
7615
        --FilterOut=regexp
7616
        --FilterIn=regexp
7617
        --StripDir
7618
 
7619
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7620
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7621
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7622
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7623
 
7624
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7625
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7626
 
7627
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7628
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7629
 
7630
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7631
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7632
 
7633
 
7634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7635
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7637
Major changes:
7638
    * Make commands
7639
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7640
 
7641
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7642
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7643
 
7644
    * Label utility
7645
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7646
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7647
 
7648
Minor changes:
7649
    * Toolsets
7650
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7651
      variables and overrides.
7652
 
7653
      The make_init target is always run.
7654
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7655
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7656
 
7657
    * Deployment
7658
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7659
      with deployment operations.
7660
 
7661
    * Release utility
7662
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7663
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7664
      restricted by options within the build.
7665
 
7666
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7667
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7668
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7669
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7670
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7671
 
7672
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7673
      directives.
7674
 
7675
    * MakeProject directive
7676
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7677
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7678
 
7679
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7680
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7681
      is preserved.
7682
 
7683
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7684
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7685
      statements.
7686
 
7687
    * Mugfile generation
7688
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7689
      be placed in the target package.
7690
 
7691
 
7692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7693
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7695
Major changes:
7696
    * BuildVersion directive
7697
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7698
      number as well as a patch number.
7699
 
7700
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7701
      number.
7702
 
7703
Minor changes:
7704
    * AddFlags directives
7705
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7706
      duplicate flags being added.
7707
 
7708
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7709
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7710
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7711
 
7712
    * Mug File Generation
7713
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7714
 
7715
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7716
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7717
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7718
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7719
     directory.
7720
 
7721
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7722
     reproducible.
7723
 
7724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7725
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7727
Major changes:
7728
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7729
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7730
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7731
      longer a list of directories.
7732
 
7733
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7734
      done within the toolset.
7735
 
7736
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7737
 
7738
    * JATS environment variables
7739
      Redefined variable
7740
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7741
                          Previously was a list that included the
7742
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7743
 
7744
      New variable
7745
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7746
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7747
 
7748
 
7749
Minor changes:
7750
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7751
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7752
      target platforms to be extracted.
7753
 
7754
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7755
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7756
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7757
 
7758
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7759
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7760
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7761
 
7762
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7763
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7764
 
7765
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7766
      Support ANT based XML files
7767
 
7768
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7769
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7770
      structure.
7771
 
7772
    * makefile.pl's
7773
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7774
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7775
 
7776
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7777
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7778
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7779
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7780
 
7781
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7782
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7783
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7784
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7785
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7786
      -- Auto.
7787
 
7788
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7789
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7790
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7791
 
7792
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7793
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7794
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7795
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7796
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7797
 
7798
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7799
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7800
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7801
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7802
      installed on the machine.
7803
 
7804
    * WINCE Targets
7805
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7806
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7807
 
7808
 
7809
 
7810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7811
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7812
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7813
Major changes:
7814
    * WIN32 platforms
7815
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7816
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7817
      and installed packages.
7818
 
7819
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7820
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7821
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7822
 
7823
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7824
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7825
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7826
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7827
      searched when looking for libraries.
7828
 
7829
Minor changes:
7830
    * GenerateFiles directive
7831
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7832
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7833
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7834
                          and drive letter
7835
 
7836
    * Src directive
7837
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7838
      directory of a package.
7839
 
7840
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7841
 
7842
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7843
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7844
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7845
 
7846
    * jats_rewrite utility
7847
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7848
 
7849
 
7850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7851
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7853
Major changes:
7854
    * SunWorks production builds
7855
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7856
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7857
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7858
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7859
      compiler documentation.
7860
 
7861
    * MOS Toolset
7862
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7863
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7864
 
7865
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7866
 
7867
Minor changes:
7868
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7869
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7870
      This should not affect current users.
7871
 
7872
    * Mugfile generation
7873
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7874
      specified.
7875
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7876
 
7877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7878
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7880
Major changes:
7881
    MOS Toolset
7882
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7883
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7884
 
7885
Minor changes:
7886
    * Jats wrapper script
7887
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7888
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7889
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7890
 
7891
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7892
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7893
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7894
      may be suspect.
7895
 
7896
    * GenerateFiles directive
7897
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7898
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7899
 
7900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7901
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7903
Major changes:
7904
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7905
      build.xml files.
7906
 
7907
Minor changes:
7908
    * WIN32 toolset.
7909
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7910
 
7911
    * MakeAnt
7912
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7913
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7914
 
7915
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7916
 
7917
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7918
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7919
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7920
 
7921
    * MakeAnt directive
7922
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7923
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7924
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7925
 
7926
      Recommended usage:
7927
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7928
 
7929
Internal Changes
7930
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7931
 
7932

7934
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7936
Major changes:
7937
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7938
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7939
      files packaged into the release.
7940
 
7941
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7942
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7945
 
7946
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7947
      The recommended platform is:
7948
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7949
 
7950
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7951
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7952
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7953
      components.
7954
 
7955
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
7956

7959
 
7960
Minor changes:
7961
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7962
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7963
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7964
      by the package to be accessed.
7965
 
7966
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7967
      application or visual studio.
7968
 
7969
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7970
      and the JATS Core path.
7971
 
7972
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7973
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7974
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7975
 
7976
    * MOS Toolset
7977
      Add support for the TPT device
7978
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7979
 
7980
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7981
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7982
 
7983
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
7984
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
7985
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
7986
 
7987
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
7988
 
7989
Internal Changes
7990
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
7991
      in jats.pl
7992
 
7993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7994
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
7995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7996
Major changes:
7997
    * JATS wrapper script
7998
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
7999
 
8000
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8001
 
8002
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8003
 
8004
Minor changes:
8005
    * Deployment support
8006
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8007
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8008
 
8009
    * 'build'
8010
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8011
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8012
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8013
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8014
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8015
 
8016
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8017
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8018
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8019
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8020
                                      the link phase.
8021
 
8022
    * BuildPkgArchive
8023
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8024
      Previously these were ignored.
8025
      Minor code cleanup
8026
 
8027
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8028
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8029
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8030
 
8031
    * SOLARIS targets
8032
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8033
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8034
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8035
 
8036
    * MugFile generation
8037
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8038
      included in the final package.
8039
 
8040
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8041
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8042
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8043
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8044
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8045
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8046
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8047
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8048
 
8049
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8050
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8051
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8052
            --Option=(some_text)
8053
            --Option=[some_text]
8054
            --Option={some_text}
8055
 
8056
Internal Changes
8057
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8058
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8059
      code.
8060
 
8061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8062
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8064
Major changes:
8065
    * JATS wrapper script
8066
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8067
 
8068
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8069
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8070
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8071
      other components.
8072
 
8073
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8074
 
8075
    * JATS
8076
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8077
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8078
 
8079
    * Build operations
8080
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8081
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8082
      packages.
8083
 
8084
    * Make operations
8085
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8086
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8087
 
8088
Minor changes:
8089
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8090
      deployment builds.
8091
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8092
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8093
 
8094
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8095
 
8096
    * build.pl
8097
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8098
        processed. Allows
8099
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8100
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8101
        production.
8102
 
8103
    * MOS toolset
8104
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8105
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8106
 
8107
    * create_dpkg utility
8108
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8109
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8110
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8111
      progress of the build.
8112
 
8113
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8114
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8115
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8116
      system.
8117

Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8121
Major changes:
8122
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8123
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8124
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8125
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8126
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8127
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8128
 
8129
    * WCEX86A500 target
8130
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8131
 
8132
    * MOS Toolsets
8133
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8134
      the compiler.
8135
 
8136
    * RunTest directive
8137
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8138
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8139
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8140
 
8141
Minor changes:
8142
    * JATS BUILD
8143
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8144
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8145
      highlight bad settings.
8146
 
8147
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8148
      access to extensions.
8149
 
8150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8151
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8153
Major changes:
8154
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8155
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8156
 
8157
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8158
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8159
      under unix.
8160
 
8161
Minor changes:
8162
    * label utility
8163
      Added options to:
8164
        o Delete a label
8165
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8166
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8167
 
8168
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8169
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8170
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8171
      Package directives.
8172
 
8173
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8174
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8175
      system.
8176
 
8177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8178
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8180
Major changes:
8181
    * MOS Toolset
8182
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8183
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8184
 
8185
    * WIN32 Toolset
8186
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8187
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8188
      list.
8189
 
8190
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8191
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8192
 
8193
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8194
 
8195
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8196
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8197
 
8198
 
8199
Minor changes:
8200
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8201
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8202
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8203
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8204
      corrected.
8205
 
8206
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8207
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8208
 
8209
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8210
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8211
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8212
 
8213
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8214
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8215
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8216
Major changes:
8217
    * WIN32 Toolset
8218
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8219
      use with multithreaded modes.
8220
 
8221
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8222
      --OnlyProd.
8223
 
8224
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8225
      within the makefile.pl.
8226
 
8227
Minor changes:
8228
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8229
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8230
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8231
      platforms.
8232
 
8233
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8234
 
8235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8236
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8237
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8238
Major changes:
8239
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8240
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8241
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8242
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8243
 
8244
    * Preliminary Support
8245
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8246
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8247
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8248
 
8249
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8250
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8251
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8252
 
8253
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8254
      building. The default build will build both.
8255
 
8256
Minor changes:
8257
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8258
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8259
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8260
 
8261
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8262
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8263
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8264
 
8265
 
8266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8267
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8269
Major changes:
8270
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8271
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8272
      or all.
8273
 
8274
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8275
      the library or program.
8276
 
8277
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8278
 
8279
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8280
      library or any debug files.
8281
 
8282
    * GenerateFiles
8283
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8284
 
8285
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8286
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8287
 
8288
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8289
              The filename of the prereq file
8290
 
8291
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8292
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8293
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8294
 
8295
 
8296
Minor changes:
8297
    * create_dpkg utility
8298
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8299
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8300
      the package has been altered.
8301
 
8302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8303
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8305
Major changes:
8306
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8307
      This is a WINCE target
8308
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8309
 
8310
    * New toolset
8311
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8312
 
8313
    * Modified toolset
8314
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8315
 
8316
    * Modified toolset
8317
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8318
 
8319
Minor changes:
8320
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8321
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8322
 
8323
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8324
 
8325
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8326
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8327
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8328
 
8329
      The change allows the construct
8330
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8331
      to be replaced by the simpler
8332
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8333
 
8334
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8335
      specified name.    
8336

8341
Major changes:
8342
    * Dependancy generator
8343
      Extend the number of header files that can be included
8344
      to allow for 4096 included files.

8355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8356
Major changes:
8357
    * The "package.pl" file.
8358
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8359
      package name being taken from the build name
8360
 
8361
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8362
      package Build Name.
8363
 
8364
Minor changes:
8365
    * create_dpkg utility
8366
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8367
 
8368

8371
Major changes:
8372
 
8373
Minor changes:
8374
    * Dependancy generator
8375
      Correct two common situations
8376
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8377
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8378
           ansi, but is often done.
8379
 
8380
    * GCC toolset
8381
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8382
      being created in the correct place.
8383
 
8384
    * jats "label"
8385
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8386
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8387
 
8388
 
8389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8390
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8392
Major changes:
8393
 
8394
Minor changes:
8395
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8396
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8397
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8398
 
8399
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8400
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8401
 
8402
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8403
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8404
      package was not being transferred.
8405
 
8406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8407
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8409
Major changes:
8410
    * Support for solaris_i386
8411
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8412
      binaries for this target.
8413
 
8414
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8415
      with the GCC compiler.
8416
 
8417
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8418
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8419
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8420
 
8421
Minor changes:
8422
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8423
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8424
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8425
 
8426
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8427
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8428
 
8429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8430
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8431
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8432
Major changes:
8433
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8434
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8435
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8436
 
8437
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8438
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8439
 
8440
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8441
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8442
      with either " or ' characters.
8443
 
8444
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8445
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8446
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8447
 
8448
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8449
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8450
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8451
 
8452
    * Jats wrapper
8453
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8454
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8455
      further commands.
8456
 
8457
Minor changes:
8458
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8459
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8460
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8461
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8462
 
8463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8464
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8466
Major changes:
8467
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8468
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8469
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8470
 
8471
      These options operation affect all components within the
8472
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8473
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8474
 
8475
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8476
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8477
 
8478
Minor changes:
8479

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8481
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8483
Major changes:
8484
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8485
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8486
 
8487
Minor changes:
8488
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8489
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8490
 
8491
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8492
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8493
 
8494
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8495
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8496
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8497
Major changes:
8498
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8499
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8500
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8501
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8502
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8503
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8504
      installed.
8505
 
8506
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8507
      libraries that depend on each other.
8508
 
8509
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8510
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8511
 
8512
Minor changes:
8513
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8514
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8515
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8516
 
8517
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8518
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8519
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8520
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.

8523
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8525
Major changes:
8526
 
8527
Minor changes:
8528
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8529
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8530
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8531
      file.
8532
 
8533
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8534
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8535
 
8536
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8537
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8538
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8539
 
8540
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8541
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8542
 
8543
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8544
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8545
 
8546
    * WinCE toolsets
8547
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8548
      compiler specific libraries.
8549
 
8550
    * SOLARIS toolset
8551
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8552
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8553
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8554
 
8555
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8556
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8557
      cleaned up.
8558
 
8559
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8560
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8561
 
8562
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8563
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8564
      with either " or ' characters.
8565
 
8566
 
8567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8568
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8569
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8570
Major changes:
8571
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8572
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8573
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8574
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8575
 
8576
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8577
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8578
 
8579
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8580
      user.
8581
 
8582
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8583
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8584
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8585
 
8586
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8587
      for the   -Gf option.
8588
 
8589
Minor changes:
8590
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8591
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8592
 
8593
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8594
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8595
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8596
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8597
 
8598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8599
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8601
Major changes:
8602
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8603
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8604
 
8605
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8606
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8607
      data addresses for the board.
8608
 
8609
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8610
 
8611
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8612
 
8613
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8614
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8615
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8616
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8617
         PackageFile
8618
 
8619
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8620
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8621
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8622
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8623
 
8624
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8625
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8626
      to be installed and packaged.
8627
 
8628
Minor changes:
8629
 
8630
    * cache_dpkg utility
8631
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8632
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8633
 
8634
    * label utility
8635
      New option -auto to create and label
8636
 
8637
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8638
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8639
 
8640
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8641
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8642
      directory. ie:
8643
 
8644
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8645
 
8646
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8647
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8648
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8649
 
8650
 
8651
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8652
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8654
Major changes:
8655
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8656
 
8657
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8658
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8659
 
8660
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8661
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8662
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8663
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8664
 
8665
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8666
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8667
      compilation.
8668
 
8669
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8670
 
8671
Minor changes:
8672
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8673
      one is being produced.
8674
 
8675
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8676
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8677
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8678
 
8679
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8680
 
8681
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8682
 
8683
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8684
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8685
 
8686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8687
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8689
Major changes:
8690
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8691
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8692
 
8693
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8694
 
8695
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8696
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8697
      same directory
8698
 
8699
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8700
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8701
      documenattion.
8702
 
8703
Minor changes:
8704
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8705
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8706
 
8707
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8708
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8709
 
8710
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8711
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8712
 
8713
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8714
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8715
 
8716
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8717
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8718
      be exempt from this test.
8719
 
8720
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8721
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8722
 
8723
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8724
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8725
 
8726
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8727
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8728
      does.
8729
 
8730
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8731
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8732
 
8733
 
8734
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8735
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8737
Major changes:
8738
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8739
 
8740
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8741
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8742
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8743
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8744
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8745
 
8746
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8747
      operations.
8748
 
8749
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8750
 
8751
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8752
 
8753
Minor changes
8754
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8755
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8756
 
8757
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8758
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8759
      directory is not added to the library path.
8760
 
8761
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8762
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8763
 
8764
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8765
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8766
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8767
 
8768
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8769
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8770
      specific flags.
8771
 
8772
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8773
 
8774
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8775
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8776
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8777
 
8778
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8779
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8780
      JATS.
8781
 
8782
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8783
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8784
 
8785
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8786
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8787
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8788
 
8789
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8790
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8791
 
8792
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8793
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8794
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8795
 
8796
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8797
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8798
 
8799
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8800
 
8801
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8802
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8803
 
8804
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8805
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8806
      objects.
8807
 
8808
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8809
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8810
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8811
      build defendants.
