Version:  3.13.5000.cr                              Released: 13-Apr-17
792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
793
 
794
Minor changes:
795
    * Makefiles: Enhanced platform specifier
796
      Allows mixed use of included and excluded platform names.
797
        ie: Src ('DEVLINUX,!UBUNUT12', .... )
798
 
799
    * New Utilities: jats_generate_deployable, jats_generate_bom
800
      Experimental utilities for generation of BOMS
801

803
Version:  3.13.4000.cr                              Released: 31-Mar-17 
804

805
 
806
Minor changes:
807
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
808
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
809
 
810
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
811
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
812
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
813
      build errors.
814
 
815
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
816
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
817
 
818
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
819
      Shorthand for
820
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
821
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
822
 
823
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
824
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
825
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
826
      Examples: 
827
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
828
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
829
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
830
 
831
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
832
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
833
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
834
 
835
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
836
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
837
      build system.
838
 
839
Experimental:
840
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
841
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
842
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17
847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
848
 
849
Minor changes:
850
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
851
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
852
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
853
 
854
------------------------------------------------------------------------
855
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
857
 
858
Minor changes:
859
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
860
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
861
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
862
 
863
    * Build Files
864
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
865
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
866
 
867
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
868
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
869
 
870
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
871
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
872
 
873
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
874
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
875
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
876
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
877
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
878
 
879
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
880
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
881
     different architectures.
882
 
883
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
884
     are directed to one or more machines.
885
 
886
     Intended uses:
887
        Windows: Creating installers. 
888
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
889
 
890
       All: Specialized packaging.
891
 
892
    * Makefiles
893
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
894
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
895
      Eg:
896
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
897
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
898
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
899
      It could also have been written as:
900
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
901
      but NOT as:
902
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
903
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
904
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
905
 
906
    * Utility: sandbox
907
      Subcommand info 
908
        - Added option to test fingerprints
909
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

914
 
915
Minor changes:
916
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
917
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
918
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
919
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
920
 
921
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
922
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
923
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
924
 
925
    * GenerateFiles directive
926
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
927

    * Utility: sandbox
929
      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.
930
 
931
      Sped up the location of build files. The results are cached and 
932
      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.
933
 
934
Internal changes:
935
    * Centralizing build platform information.

945
 
946
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
947
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
948
 
949
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
950
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
951
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
952
      machine may build the toolset.
953
 
954
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
955
      platform.

973
      It is not used.
974
 
975
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
976
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
977
 
978
    * Utility: escrow
979
      Added -skim option
980
 
981
    * Utility: sandbox
982
      Many improvements:
983
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
984
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
985
 
986
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
987
 
988
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
989
        if an error is detected.
990
 
991
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
992
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
993
 
994
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
995
        skipped during the build.
996
 
997
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1002
 
1003
Minor changes:
1004
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1005
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1006
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1007
 
1008

1122
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1123
 
1124
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1125
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1126
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1127

1952
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1953
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1954
 
1955
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1956
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1957
 
1958
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
1959
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

2185
      This uses a gcc-based cross compiler and can be run on linux development
2186
      machines. The compiler and associated SDKs are provided by 'You Transactor'
2187
      Controlled in the VIX package named 'arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnueabi'. This package
2188
      addresses issues in the 'You Transactor' provided installer.

4036 dpurdie 2227
      Improved the process that creates symbolic links between a Shared
4034 dpurdie 2228
      Libraries 'RealName' and its 'soname' and 'link name'
2229

Major changes:
2248
 
2249
Minor changes:
2250
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2251
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2252
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2253
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2254
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2255
 
2256
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2257
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Major changes:
2263
 
2264
Minor changes:
2265
    * Utility: update_release
2266
      Added options:
2267
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2268
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2269
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2270
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2271
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2272
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2273
 
2274
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2275
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2276
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2277
 
2278
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2279
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2284
Major changes:
2285
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2286
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2287
      intended to build deployed software.
2288
 
2289
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2290
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2291
 
2292
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2293
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2294
 
2295
Minor changes:
2296
    * Jats wrapper script
2297
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2298
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2299
      Subversion instance of the command.
2300
 
2301
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2302
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2303
 
2304
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2305
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2306
 
2307
    * Utility: jats upddep
2308
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2309
      file under windows.
2310
 
2311
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2312
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2313
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2314
 
2315
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2316
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2317
 
2318
    * GCC Toolchain
2319
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2335
Major changes:
2336
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2337
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2338
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2339
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2340
 
2341
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2342
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

      family
3559 dpurdie 2351
 
2352
Minor changes:
2353
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2354
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2355
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2356
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2357
      line.
2358
 
2359
    * Jats Configuration
2360
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2361
 
2362
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2363
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2364
      and Linux.
2365
 
2366
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2367
      correctly rippled.

Major changes:
2373
 
2374
Minor changes:
2375
    * Jats Core
2376
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2377
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2378
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2379
 
2380
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2381
      Used only by the build daemons.
2382
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2383
 
2384
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2385
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2386
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.
2387

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2391
Major changes:
2392
 
2393
Minor changes:
2394
    * svnrelease utility
2395
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2396
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2397
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2398
 
2399
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2400
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2401
      the named tag.
2402
 
2403
    * svnrelease utility
2404
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2405
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2416
        covered by the makefile.
2417
 
2418
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2419
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2420
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2421
 
2422
    * ALL Toolsets
2423
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2424
 
2425
    * Utility vcsdiff
2426
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2427
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2428
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2436
    * Subversion Extraction
2437
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2438
      directory of the tag.
2439
 
2440
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2441
      repository.
2442
 
2443
    * Subversion Support
2444
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2445
      showing the user what to do.
2446
 
2447
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2448
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2449
      we have build support for this target.
2450
 
2451
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2452
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2453
 
2454
Internal:
2455
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2456
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2457
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2458
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

2474
Minor changes:
2475
    * Makefile generation
2476
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2477
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2478
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2479
      of warnings.
2480
 
2481
    * Makefile Generation
2482
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2491
Major changes:
2492
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2493
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2494
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2495
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2496
 
2497
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2498
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2499
      windows path scheme.
2500
 
2501
Minor changes:
2502
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2503
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2504
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2505
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2506
 
2507
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2508
        jats make clobber
2509
      This operates as before.
2510
 
2511
    * Utility: escrow
2512
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2513
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2514
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2515
 
2516
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2517
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2518
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2519
 
2520
    * Utility: svn : url
2521
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2522
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2523
 
2524
    * Utility: svn : import
2525
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2526
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2527
 
2528
    * Subversion Support
2529
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2530
      showing the user what to do.
2531
 
2532
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2533
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2534
      repositories.

2539
 
2540
Minor changes:
2541
    * Jats build
2542
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2543
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2544
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2545
 
2546
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2547
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
2558
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2559
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2560
                 Can also display available branches.

2570
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2571
      Modified two options:
2572
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2573
                        The named branch must not exist
2574
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2575
                        The named branch must exist
2576
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2610
 
2611
Major changes:
2612
    * Jats Version Number
2613
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2631
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2632
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2633
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2634
 
2635
Minor changes:
2636
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2637
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2638
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2639
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2640
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2641
 
2642
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2643
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2644
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2645
 
2646
    * Linux support utilities
2647
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

2653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2654
Major changes:
2655
    * Subversion Repository location
2656
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2657
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2658
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2659
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

2661
 
2662
Minor changes:
2663
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2664
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2665
 
2666
    * Utility: svnrelease
2667
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2668
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2669
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2670
 
2671
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2672
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2673
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2674
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2675
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2676
 
2677
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2678
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2679
 
2680
    * Utility: sandbox
2681
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2682
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2683
 
2684
      Subcommand: populate
2685
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2686
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2687
      sandbox.
2688
 
2689
    * Subversion Support
2690
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2691
      repository is not supported.
2692
 
2693
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2694
      a progress indication.
2695
 
2696
    * Jats Online Documentation
2697
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2698
      online documentation.
2699
 
2700
    * Generated makefiles
2701
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2749
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2750
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2751
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2752
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2753
 
2754
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 2755

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2778
Major changes:
2779
 
2780
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2781
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2782
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2783
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2784
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2785
 
2786
    * C# Toolchain
2787
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

2797
 
2798
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2799
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2800
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2801
 
2802
    * Utility ccrelease
2803
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2804
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2805
 
2806
    * Utility: svn
2807
      Improved package import processing.
2808
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2836
Major changes:
2837
 
2838
Minor changes:
2839
    * Command: jats clobber
2840
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2841
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2842
 
2843
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2844
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2845
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2846
 
2847
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2848
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2849
 
377 dpurdie 2850
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2851
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2852
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2853
 
2854
    * jats svnlabel
2855
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2856
 
2857
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2858
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2859
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2860
 
2861
    * Built Daemon support
2862
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2863
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2864

373 dpurdie 2866
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2868
Major changes:
2869
    * GCC Toolset
2870
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2871
      New methodology is:
2872
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2873
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2874
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2875
        as the main binary.
2876
 
2877
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2878
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2879
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2880
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2881
      both worlds.
2882
 
2883
Minor changes:
2884
    * HTML Documentation
2885
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2886
 
2887
Internal changes:
2888
    * Generated makefiles

2890
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.
2891

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2895
Major changes:
2896
    * Jats Sandbox
2897
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2898
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2899
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2900
 
2901
    * RIORDS Platform
2902
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name

2922
 
2923
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
2924
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
2925
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
2926
 
2927
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
2928
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
2929
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
2930
      a vob.
2931
 
2932
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

2943
        tag   - Convert a path or URL to a Release Manager Tag
2944
        url   - Convert Release Manager tag to URL
2945
 
2946
    * COBRA Toolset
2947
      Suppress compiler warning on incompatible ABI
2948

    * HTML Help
3015
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3016
 
3017
    * jats build -noforce
3018
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3019
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3020
      be forced.
3021
 
3022
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3023
 
3024
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3025
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3026
 
3027
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3028
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3029
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3030
 
3031
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3032
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3033
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3034
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3035
 
3036
    * Utility: svnrelease
3037
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3038

3044
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3045
      installed and can be used.
3046
 
3047
    * Toolset: CSharp
3048
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3049
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3050
      character.
3051
 
3052
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3053
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3054
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3055
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3056
      masking an error.
3057
 
3058
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3059
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3060
      enhancement.

3067
        - Return correct path to package
3068
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3069
 
3070
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3071
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3072
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3073
 
3074
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3075
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3076
      packages.
3077
 
3078
    * make command: show
3079
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3080
      'jats make show' command.
3081
 
3082
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3083
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3084
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3085

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3391
Major changes:
3392
    * [DEVI-062103]

3400
      files for Production and Debug builds.
3401
 
3402
Minor changes:
3403
    * Jats sandbox command
3404
      The 'info' subcommand will highlight external packages that cannot be
3405

3407
    * Jats release -extract
3408
      The ClearCase view that is created will have a comment tag added that
3409

3425
 
3426
Minor changes:
3427
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3428
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3429
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3430
      resulting in multiple builds.
3431
 
3432
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3433
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3434
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3435
 
3436
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3437
 
3438
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3439
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3440
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3445
Major changes:
3446
 
3447
Minor changes:
3448
    * Jats label command
3449
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3450
      Not recommended for general use.
3451
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3452
      directories within the current view.
3453
 
3454
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3455
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3456
      elsewhere.
3457
 
3458
    * Jats save_build
3459
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3460
      the determination of a branch.
3461
 
3462
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3463
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3464
 
3465
    * Jats build
3466
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3467
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3468
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3469
 
3470
    * Borland6 toolset
3471
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3472
      to match the documented install location of:
3473
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3474
 
3475
    * Jats build
3476
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3477
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3478
      This is a very quick operation.
3479
 
3480
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3481
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3482
 
3483
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3484
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3485
      files are only recreated if need be.
3486
 
3487
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3488
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3489
      make the package.
3490
 
3491
    * Jats sandbox
3492
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3493
 
3494
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3495
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3496
 
3497
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3498
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3499
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3500
      is performed.
3501
 
3502
Internal:
3503
    * build.pl
3504

3537
 
3538
Minor changes:
3539
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3540
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3541
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3542
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3543
 
3544
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3545
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3546
 
3547
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3548
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3549
      platform builds.
3550
 
3551
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3552
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3553
      directory tree.
3554
 
3555
    * New command: jats man
3556
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3557
 
3558
Internal changes:
3559
    * jats upddep
3560
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3561
 
3562

3568
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3569
Major changes:
3570
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3571
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3572
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3573
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3574
 
3575
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3576
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3577
 
3578
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3579
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3580
 
3581
      Examples:
3582
            jats upddep -show
3583
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3584
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3585
 
3586
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3587
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3588
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3589
 
3590
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3591
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3592
 
3593
Minor changes:
3594
 
3595
Internal changes:
3596
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3601
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3602
Major changes:
3603
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3604
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3605
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3606
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3607
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3608
      stream.
3609
 
3610
      Example:
3611
 
3612
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3613
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3614
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3615
                     );
3616
Minor changes:
3617
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3618
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3619
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3620
      directive.
3621
 
3622
    * GCC Toolkit
3623
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3624
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3625
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3626
      the point of termination.
3627
 
3628
    * Jats save_build utility
3629
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3630
      under windows.
3631
 
3632
    * Jats sandbox
3633
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3634
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3635
      in different sandboxes.
3636
 
3637
    * Jats release
3638
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3639

    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3647
      Added -locatedir=name
3648
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3649
      directory.
3650
 
3651
    * jats label utility
3652
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3653
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3654
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3655
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3656
 
3657
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3658

Minor changes:
3665
    * WinCe Toolsets
3666
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3667
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3668
        noExceptions            - Disable
3669
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3670
      Example:
3671
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3672
 
3673
    * Solaris targets
3674
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3675
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3676
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3677
      machine type.
3678

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3682
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3683
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3684
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3685
      project files.
3686
 
3687
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3688
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3689
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3690
 
3691
Minor changes:
3692
    * Added more internal documentation
3693
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3694
 
3695
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3696
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3697
 
3698
    * Jats save_build utility
3699
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3700
      under windows.
3701
 
3702
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3703
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3704
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3705
      libraries.
3706
 
3707
    * Solaris builds
3708
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3709
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3710
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3711
      of the build failure.
3712
 
3713
 
3714
Internal changes:
3715
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3716
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3717
 
3718
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3719
      PkgArchive topics.

3726
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3727
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3728
      existing 32-bit builds.
3729
 
3730
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1

    * Package searching
3738
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3739
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3740
 
3741
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3742
 
3743
    * jats help
3744
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3745
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3746
 
3747
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3748
      with one of:
3749
        jats -h
3750
        jats help jats
3751
 
3752
Internal:
3753
    * cmdfile utility
3754
      Added macros:
3755
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3756
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3757
 
3758
      Corrected
3759
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3760
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3761
 
3762
      Extended
3763
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3764
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3765
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3771
Major changes:
3772
 
3773
Minor changes:
3774
 
3775
Internal changes
3776
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3777
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3778
      Useful side effects include:
3779
 
3780
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3781
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3782
 
3783
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3784
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3785
 
3786
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3787
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3788
        BuildPkgArchive
3789
 
313 dpurdie 3790
    * Perl Modules
3791
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3792
      release. This will:
3793
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3794
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3795
          reported by ERG.
3796
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3801
Major changes:
3802
 
3803
Minor changes:
3804
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3805
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3806
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3807
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3808
 
3809
    * Jats label utility
3810
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3811
 
3812
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3813
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3814
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3815
 
3816
    * Jats core
3817
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3818
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3819
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3828
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3829
      This is now fixed.
3830
 
309 dpurdie 3831
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3832
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3833
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3834
 
3835
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3836
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
3845
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3846
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3847
      an error.
3848
 
3849
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3850
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3851
 
3852
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3853
      Highly specialized directive.

3859
Major changes:
3860
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3861
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3862
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3863
 
3864
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3865
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3866
 
3867
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3868
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3869
      Support includes
3870
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3871
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3872
 
3873
Minor changes:
3874
    * Build file processing
3875
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3876
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3877
 
3878
    * MOS builds
3879
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3880
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3881
 
3882
    * MOS builds
3883
      New 'known' product: PICP
3884
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3885
 
3886
    * GenerateFiles directive
3887
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3888
        under windows.
3889
 
3890
        .
3891
 
3892
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3893
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3894
 
3895
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3896
      to the output stream.
3897
 
3898
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3899
 
3900
    * Windows Shell
3901
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3902
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3903
 
3904
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3905
 
3906
    * H8S toolset
3907
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3908
 
3909
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3910
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3911
 
3912
Internal changes
3913
    * WinCe builds
3914
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3915
      content of the file.
3916
 
3917
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3918
 
3919
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3920
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3932
Major changes:
3933
 
3934
Minor changes:
3935
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3936
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3937
      Changes are transparent to users.
3938
 
3939
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3940
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3941
      this occurs.
3942
 
3943
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3944
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3945
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3946
      automated build framework.
3947
 
3948
    * jats sandbox command
3949
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3950
      'create' command.
3951
 
3952
    * jats command aliases. Added
3953
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3954

3959
Major changes:
3960
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3961
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3962
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3963
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3964
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3965
      will work as expected
3966
 
3967
Minor changes:
3968
    * VS2008 Toolset
3969
      Picking up incorrect config details
3970
      May result in a warning message.
3971
 
3972
    * gen_cots utility
3973
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
3974
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
3975
 
3976
    * DELPHI7 toolset
3977
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
3978

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4025
Major changes:
4026
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4027
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4028
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4029
 
4030
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4031
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4032
 
4033
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4034
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4035
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4036
           names cannot be changed.
4037
 
4038
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4039
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4040
 
4041
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4042
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4043
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4044
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4045
 
4046
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4047
      file.
4048
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4049
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4050
      MyPackage.dpk.
4051
 
4052
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4053
      file.
4054
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4055
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4056
      MyDll.dpr.
4057
 
4058
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4059
      file.
4060
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4061
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4062
      MyProg.dpr.
4063
 
4064
Minor changes:
4065
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4066
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4067
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4068
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4069
 
4070
    * BuildVersion directive
4071
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4072
      in a Delphi Unit.
4073
 
4074
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4075
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4076
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4077
      'know' the location of the files.
4078
 
4079
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4080
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4081
 
4082
Internal Changes:
4083
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4084
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4085
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4086
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4087
 
4088
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4089
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4090
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4095
Major changes:
4096
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4097
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4098
      information for purely C++ builds.
4099
 
289 dpurdie 4100
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4101
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4102
 
289 dpurdie 4103
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4104
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4105
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4106
 
4107
Minor changes:
4108
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4109
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4110
 
4111
    * updatenodespec utility
4112
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4113
      Manager database.

4149
Minor changes:
4150
    * New command: jats make show
4151
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4152
      used in the build.
4153
 
4154
    * Escrow command
4155
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4156
 
4157
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4158
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4159
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4160
 
4161
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4162
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4167
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4168
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4169
 
279 dpurdie 4170
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4171
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4172
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4173
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4174
 
4175
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4176
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4177
 
4178
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4179
 
4180
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4181
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4182
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4183
 
4184
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4185
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4186
        processed.
4187
 
4188
      Removed the '-delete' option
4189
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4190
 
277 dpurdie 4191
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4192
    * Sandbox command
4193
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4194
 
4195
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4196
      target from consideration in the build set.
4197
 
4198
    * MCR Toolset
4199
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4200
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4201
 
4202
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4203
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4204
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4205
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4206
 
4207
    * Jats run_test command
4208
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4209
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4210
 
4211
    * descpkg file
4212
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4213
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4214
 
4215
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4216
     Now contains build trace information
4217
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4218
 
4219
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4220
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4221
     it contains 'jar' files.
4222
 
4223
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4224
 
4225
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4226
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4227
 
4228
   * BuildVersion directive
4229
     Form:
4230
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4231
     now works as expected.
4232
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4233
 
4234
Internal Changes:
4235
 
4236
    * Error reporting mechanism
4237
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4238
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4239
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4251
    then starts.
4252
 
4253
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4254
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4255
 
4256
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4257
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4258
    non-platform option.
4259
 
279 dpurdie 4260
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4325
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
4326
 
4327
Internal Changes:
4328
    * Environment
4329
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
4330
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4400
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4401

        define_source_file              (Default)
4423
 
4424
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4425
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4426
 
4427
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4428
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4429
      compatibility.
4430

4435
            --InstallProg=list
4436
 
4437
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4438
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4439
      GenerateCab.
4440
 
4441
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

4457
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in
4458
      a standalone manner by gen_winrc.pl.

4490
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
4491
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
4492
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
4493

4494
      such as the rpcgen utility.
4495
 
4496

4508
Internal Changes:
4509
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
4510
      the modules in other modules. This is now a package

      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4521
      programs.
4522
 
4523
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
4524
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'
4525
      wrapper. Internally the changes is in preparation to alternate version
4526
      control systems.

4575
 
4576
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4577
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4591
Internal Changes:
4592
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4593
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4594
      Previously was being done at two places
4595
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4596
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4597
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4598
 
4599
    * JATS make: Command line
4600
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4601

4609
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4610
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4611
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4612
 
4613

4614
      Simplifies creation of internal rules
4615
      Improved readability of the generation process
4616
      Improved readability of the generated makefile
4617
      Removed dead code
4618
      Improved the creation of Progs
4619
 
4620
    * JATS error reporting
4621
      Added a Fatal call to allow utilities to report infrastructure
4622
      problems.
4623
 
4624

4634
    * Corrected tagging  of files generated by the various toolsets
4635
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4636
 
4637
    * FileUtils package.
4638
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4639
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.

4656
      Convert relative pathnames to absolute pathnames before passing
4657
      to copy command. This makes the most of Windows limited path length
4658
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4659
 
4660
Minor changes:
4661
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4662
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.
4663
 
4664
      Needed to support badly formed legacy packages when used with
4665
      some windows tools.

4670
Major changes:
4671
    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4672
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4673
 
4674
      New platforms:
4675
        CSHARP2005
4676
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4677
         Support extends to allow:
4678
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4679
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4680
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4681
 
4682
        VS2005
4683
         Support extends to allow:
4684
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4685
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4686
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4687
 
4688
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4689
      through a version selector:
4690
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4691
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4692
 
4693
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4694
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4695
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4696
 
4697
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4698
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4699
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4700
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4701
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4702
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4703
          under VS2005.
4704
 
4705
Minor changes:
4706
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4707
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4708
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4709
 
4710
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4711
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4712
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4713
 
4714
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4715
 
4716
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4717
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4718
 
4719
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4720
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4721
      a minimal value of perl.
4722
 
4723
      Removed excessive require statements.
4724
 
4725
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4726
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4727
      Include JATS specific files for
4728
        1) Windows
4729
        2) Linux
4730
 
4731
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4732
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4733
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4734
      machines.
4735
 
4736
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4737
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4738
 
4739
    * JATS Environment
4740
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4741
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4742
 
4743
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4744
      wrapper scripts.
4745
 
4746
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4747
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4748
      Spell check help and code.

      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4776
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4777
      was added.
4778
 
4779
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4780
      reviewing a new package.
4781
 
4782
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4783
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4784
      automatically included in the source file list.
4785
 
253 dpurdie 4786

4800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4801
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4802
  * New toolset and platform
4803
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4804
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4805
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4806
    this platform.
4807
 
4808
Minor changes:
4809
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4810
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4811
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4812
    work.
4813
 
4814
  * Jats utility: release
4815
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4816
    published to dpkg_archive.
4817
 
249 dpurdie 4818
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4819
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4820
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4821
    supported for ANT builds.
4822
 
4823
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4824
        releasemanager.releasename
4825
        releasemanager.projectname
4826
 
4827
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4828
    tagged data item of the form
4829
 
4830
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4831
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4832
 
4833
  * Mug File Generation
4834
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4835
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4836
 
4837
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4838
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4839
    required.
4840
 
4841
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4842
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4843
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4844
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4845
    the files in order to use them.
4846
 
4847
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4848
    locate the file.
4849
 
4850
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4851
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4852
 
4853
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4854
        * CSharp
4855
        * Properties
4856
        * WinRC
4857
 
4858
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4859
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4860
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4861
    Value is correctly assigned.
4862

4865
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4866
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4867
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4868
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4869
 
4870
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4871
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4872
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4873
 
4874
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4875
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4876
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4877
 
4878
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4879
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4880
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4881
 
4882
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4883
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4884
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4885
    correct.
4886
 
4887
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4888
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4889
 
4890
Minor changes:
4891
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4892
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4893
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4894
 
4895
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4896
    This will simplify new user setup.
4897
 
4898
  * All Unix Toolsets
4899
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4900
    on unix systems
4901
 
4902
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4903

5066
    * MOS Compiler
5067
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5068
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5069
 
5070
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5071
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5072
      descpkg files to be copied.
5073
 
5074
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5075
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

5109
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5110
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5111
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5112
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5113
 
5114
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5115
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5116
 
5117
    * Jats wrapper
5118
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5119
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5124
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5125
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5126
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5127
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5128
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5129
 
5130
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5131
 
5132
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5133
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5134
 
5135
    * Running Jats
5136
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5137
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5138
      This may affect some windows developers.
5139
 
5140
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5141
      Future versions will generate an error.
5142
 
5143
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5144
 
5145
Minor changes:
5146
    * Perl Version Check
5147
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5148
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5149
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5150
 
5151
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5152
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5153
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5154
      build.
5155
 
5156
    * Jats Internals
5157
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5158
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5159
 
5160
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5161
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5162
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5163
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5164
      process.
5165
 
5166
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5167
      Only works under Windows.
5168
 
5169
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5170
 
5171
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5172
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5173
 
5174
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5175
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5176
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5177
 
5178
    * Jats eprog
5179
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5180
      directory.
5181
 
5182
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5183
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5184
      build metrics.
5185
 
5186

5189
Major changes:
5190
 
5191
Minor changes:
5192
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5193
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5194
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5195
      automated build system. New options are:
5196
        -pname=Package_Name
5197
        -pversion=Package_Version
5198
 
5199
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5200
      transferring the package. New options are:
5201
        -test
5202
 
5203
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5204
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5205
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5206
 
5207
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5208
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5209
 
5210
    * Solaris Toolset
5211
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5212
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5213
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5218
Major changes:
5219
 
5220
Minor changes:
5221
    * WINCE toolsets
5222
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5223
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5224
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5225
      when header files cannot be found.
5226
 
5227
    * GenerateFiles directive
5228
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5229
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5230
      that are difficult to solve.
5231
 
5232
    * MakePerlModule directive
5233
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5234
      to the the module builder.
5235
 
5236
    * Jats Tool: label
5237
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5238
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5239
      -dirs=xxx options.
5240
 
5241
    * Jats Tool: release
5242
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5243
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5244
 
5245
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5246
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5247
 
5248
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5249
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5250
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5251
 
5252
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5272
    * make clean up
5273
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5274
 
5275
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5276
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5277
      minor file transformations such as:
5278
        Copy, with optional rename
5279
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5280
        Perform simple TAG replacement

    * Makefile generation
5299
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target

5306
Major changes:
5307
 
5308
Minor changes:
5309
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5310
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5311
 
5312
    * Makefile generation
5313
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5314
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5315
 
5316
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5317
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5318
 
5319
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5320
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5321
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5322
 
5323
    * jats_rewrite utility
5324
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5325
 
5326
    * jats escrow utility
5327
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5328
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5329
 
5330
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5331
      inconsistent packages.
5332
 
5333
    * jats make help
5334
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5335
      available within the current build.
5336
 
5337
    * jats makefiles
5338
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5339
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5340
 
5341
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5342
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5343
 
5344
    * gcc toolset
5345
      SharedLibries.
5346
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5347
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5348
 
5349
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5350
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5351
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5352
 
5353
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5354
        New options:
5355
            --MultiScan
5356
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5357
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5358
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5364
Major changes:
5365
 
5366
Minor changes:
5367
    PackageLib directive
5368
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5369
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5370
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5371
 
5372
    MakefileGenerate directive
5373
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5374
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5375
 
5376
    Multiple Parent detection
5377
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5378
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5379
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5380
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5381
 
5382
    Solaris Toolset
5383
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5384
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5385
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5386
    link.
5387
 
5388
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5389
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5390
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5391
 
5392
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5393
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5394
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5395
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5400
Major changes:
5401
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5402
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5403
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5404
 
5405
    Summary of changes:
5406
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5407
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5408
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5409
          flexibility.
5410
 
5411
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5412
 
5413
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5414
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5415
          interface directory and associated build information.
5416
 
5417
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5418
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5419
          than one second.
5420
 
5421
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5422
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5423
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5424
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5425
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5426
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5427
 
5428
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5429
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5430
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5431
 
5432
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5433
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5434
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5435
          building them.
5436
 
5437
        - Detection of build file changes
5438
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5439
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5440
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5441
 
5442
        - Quieter make output
5443
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5444
 
5445
 
5446
Minor changes:
5447
    MakeAnt Directive
5448
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5449
 
5450
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5451
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5452
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5453
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5454
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5455
 
5456
    CSHARP toolset
5457
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5458

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5466
    are generated.
5467
 
5468
    MakeAnt
5469
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5470
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5471
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5472
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5473
 
5474
    MCR platform

    MakeAnt directive extended
5485
    New option: --PackageBase
5486
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5487
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5488
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5489
 
5490
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5491
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5492
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5493
        package image being created.

5513
 
5514
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5515
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5516
 
5517
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5518
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5519
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5520
 
5521
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5522
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5523
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5553
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5554
 
5555
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5556
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5557
      last.
5558
 
5559
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5560
 
5561
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5562
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5563
 
5564
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5565
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5566
 
5567
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5568
 
5569
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5570
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5571
 
5572
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5573
 
5574
 
5575
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5576

      dependent packages.
5590
 
5591

5600
Major changes:
5601
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5602
 
5603
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5604
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5605
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5606
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5607
      path.
5608
 
5609
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5610
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5611
      reproducible.
5612
 
5613
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5614
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5615
 
5616
      There are several aspects to the change
5617
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5618
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5619
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5620
 
5621
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5622
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5623
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5624
          controlled separately.
5625
 
5626
Minor changes:
5627
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5628
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5629
        Remove duplicates
5630
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH

5637
Minor changes:
5638
    * Makefile sanity test
5639
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5640
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5641
 
5642
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5643
      x86 machine.
5644
 
5645
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5646
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5651
Major changes:
5652
    * RunTest directive
5653
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5654
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5655
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5656
 
5657
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5658
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5659
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5660
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5661
 
5662
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5663
        builder within the current toolset.
5664
 
5665
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5666
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5667
 
5668
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5669
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5670
      containing the RunTest directive.
5671
 
5672
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5673
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5674
 
5675
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5676
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5677
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5678
 
5679
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5680
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5681
                            P or D suffix.
5682
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5683
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5684
 
5685
Minor changes:
5686
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5687
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5688
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5689
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5690
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5691
 
5692
    * Save Build Utility
5693
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5694
      used in a ripple build.
5695
 
5696
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5697
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5698
 
5699
    * Release Utility
5700
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5701
      when an error is encountered.
5702
 
5703
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5704
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5705
 
5706
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5707
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5708
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5709
 
5710
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5711
      before the makefiles are created.
5712
 
5713
    * TestProg directive
5714
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5715
 
5716
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5717
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5718

5720
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5721
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5722
Major changes:
5723
    * New build target
5724
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5725
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5726
 
5727
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5728
            DEVLINUX
5729
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5730
 
5731
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5732
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5733
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5734
 
5735
Minor changes:
5736
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5737
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5738
 
5739
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5740
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5741
 
5742
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5743
      and .cs files.
5744
 
5745
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5746
      thing.
5747
 
5748
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5749
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5750
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5751
      were it places temp files.
5752
 
5753
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5754
      interaction with other builds.
5755
 
5756
    * Release utility command
5757
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5758
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5759
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Version: JATS_2.66.0                                Released: 27-Jun-07
5763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5764
Major changes:
5765
  * Support for building CSHARP code
5766
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
5767
 
5768
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5769
 
5770
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5771
    libraries
5772
 
5773
Minor changes:
5774
  * Unit Tests
5775
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5776
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5777
 
5778
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5779
    as a Script.

Minor changes:
5810
  * WINCE Support
5811
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5812
 
5813
  * Removed the following targets
5814
        TP5600
5815
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5816
        TP5600_EMU
5817
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5818
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5819
 
5820
  * Deployment
5821
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5822
 
5823
  * build.pl
5824
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5825
 
5826
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5827
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5828
 
5829
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5830
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5831
    build.
5832
 
5833
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5834
 
5835
  * Tool: escrow
5836
     New features
5837
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5838
     are not in the SBOM.
5839
 
5840
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5841
 
5842
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5846
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5847
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5848
Major changes:
5849
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5850
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5851
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5852
 
5853
  * GenerateFiles
5854
    Added the options:
5855
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5856
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5857
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5858
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5859
 
5860
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5861
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5862
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5863
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5864
                                  required.
5865
 
5866
 
5867
Minor changes:
5868
  * GenerateFile directive
5869
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5870
 
5871
  * GCC Toolset
5872
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5873
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5874
    be rebuilt.
5875
 
5876
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5877
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5878
 
5879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5880
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5882
Major changes:
5883
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5884
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5885
    environment variables.
5886
 
5887
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5888
            moved.
5889
 
5890
    This will affect users that:
5891
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5892
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5893
 
5894
        2) Use the ABT system
5895
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5896
           the required configuration
5897
 
5898
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5899
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5900
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5901
    Windows
5902
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5903
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5904
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5905
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5906
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5907
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5908
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5909
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5910
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5911
 
5912
 
5913
  * New build platforms
5914
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5915
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5916
 
5917
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5918
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5919
 
5920
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5921
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5922
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5923
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5924
 
5925
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5926
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5927
    release.
5928
 
5929
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5930
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5931
 
5932
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5933
    need to be converted.
5934
 
5935
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5936
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5937
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5938
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5939
    used for different targets platforms.
5940
 
5941
  * Sandbox support
5942
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5943
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5944
 
5945
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5946
 
5947
Minor changes:
5948
 
5949
 
5950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5951
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5953
Major changes:
5954
  * MakeAnt directive
5955
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5956
 
5957
    New options
5958
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5959
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5960
 
5961
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5962
    run_unit_tests phase.
5963
 
5964
  * Sandbox support
5965
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5966
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
5967
 
5968
Minor changes:
5969
  * jats build
5970
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
5971
    platforms that will be 'built'.
5972
 
5973
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
5974
 
5975
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
5976
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
5977
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
5978
 
5979
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
5980
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
5981
 
5982
  * JATS.BAT
5983
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
5984
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
5985
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
5986
 
5987
  * jats label
5988
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
5989
 
5990
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5991
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
5992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5993
Major changes:
5994
  * New build platform:
5995
        LMOS_TP5600
5996
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5997
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5998
 
5999
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6000
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6001
    describe the group of platforms.
6002
 
6003
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6004
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6005
    build these targets.
6006
 
6007
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6008
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6009
 
6010
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6011
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6012
 
6013
  * New build platform: WINCE
6014
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6015
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6016
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6017
 
6018
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6019
            WCEIT3000
6020
            WCEPA961
6021
            WCEPA962
6022
            WCEPCM7220
6023
            WCEPSION_420
6024
            WCEPSPC_arm
6025
            WCEPSPC_emu
6026
            WCEX86A420
6027
            WCEX86A500
6028
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6029
 
6030
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6031
 
6032
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6033
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6034
    that contain packaging directives.
6035
 
6036
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6037
    very unusual configurations.
6038
 
6039
Minor changes:
6040
  * Directive: PackageFile
6041
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6042
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6043
    an '='.
6044
 
6045
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6046
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6047
 
6048
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6049
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6050
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6051
 
6052
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6053
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6054
 
6055
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6056
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6057
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6058
Major changes:
6059
 
6060
  * JATS release command
6061
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6062
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6063
 
6064
    Rules are:
6065
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6066
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6067
                            File will be placed on a branch
6068
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6069
                            New directory will branch
6070
 
6071
Minor changes:
6072
  * JATS release command
6073
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6074
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6075
 
6076
  * JATS label command
6077
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6078
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6079
 
6080
  * JATS make
6081
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6082
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6083
    was re-packaged.
6084
 
6085
  * JATS escrow
6086
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6087
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6088
 
6089
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6090
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6091
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6092
 
6093
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6094
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6095
    interface directory.
6096
 
6097
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6098
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6099
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6100
    directory as seen by the package.
6101
 
6102
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6103
 
6104
  * JAVA 6
6105
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6106
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6107
 
6108
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6109
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6110
 
6111
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6112
 
6113
  * Jats command: vars
6114
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6115
    These indicate potential problems.
6116
 
6117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6118
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6120
Major changes:
6121
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6122
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6123
    libarry is also created.
6124
 
6125
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6126
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6127
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6128
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6129
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6130
    information contained within the file.
6131
 
6132
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6133
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6134
 
6135
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6136
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6137
 
6138
  * Building Perl Modules
6139
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6140
    documentation on the build machine.
6141
 
6142
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6143
 
6144
Minor changes:
6145
  * jats create_dpkg
6146
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6147
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6148
 
6149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6150
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6152
Major changes:
6153
  * JATS JAVA build target
6154
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6155
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6156
 
6157
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6158
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6159
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6160
    is then picked up as the default version.
6161
 
6162
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6163
    build.pl file.
6164
 
6165
Minor changes:
6166
  * jats release
6167
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6168
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6169
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6170
 
6171
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6172
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6173
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6174
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6175
    the name of the view.
6176
 
6177
  * GenerateFiles directive
6178
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6179
 
6180
  * MOS Toolset
6181
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6182
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6183
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6184
 
6185
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6186
 
6187
 
6188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6189
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6191
Major changes:
6192
 
6193
Minor changes:
6194
  * JATS environment
6195
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6196
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6197
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6198
 
6199
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6200
 
6201
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6202
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6203
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6204
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6205
    to be packaged.
6206
 
6207
  * Generated makefiles
6208
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6209
 
6210
  * Generating MOS THX files
6211
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6212
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6213
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6214
 
6215
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6216
 
6217
  * JATS release
6218
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6219
 
6220
  * JATS extract
6221
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6222
 
6223
  * JATS Toolset
6224
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6225
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6226
 
6227
 
6228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6229
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6231
Major changes:
6232
 
6233
Minor changes:
6234
  * jats label
6235
    Added a -vob=name option
6236
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6237
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6238
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6239
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6240
 
6241
    Added a -user=name option
6242
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6243
    label to the named user.
6244
 
6245
  * jats release
6246
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6247
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6248
 
6249
  * JATS build.pl
6250
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6251
    ie:
6252
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6253
 
6254
 
6255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6256
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6258
Major changes:
6259
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6260
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6261
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6262
    the makefile internals. ie:
6263
        --Var(BuildName)
6264
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6265
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6266
 
6267
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6268
 
6269
  * GenerateFiles
6270
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6271
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6272
 
6273
  * BuildPlatforms
6274
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6275
 
6276
Minor changes:
6277
  * GCC Toolset
6278
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6279
 
6280
Internal changes:
6281
  * GenerateFiles
6282
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6283
 
6284
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6285
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6286
 
6287
 
6288
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6289
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6290
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6291
Major changes:
6292
  * Caching JATS
6293
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6294
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6295
 
6296
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6297
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6298
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6299
 
6300
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6301
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6302
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6303
 
6304
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6305
 
6306
Minor changes:
6307
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6308
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6309
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6310
 
6311
  * jats build
6312
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6313
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6314
    processed by the build.
6315
 
6316
  * jats build
6317
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6318
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6319
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6320
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6321
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6322
 
6323
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6324
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6325
    Path is not specified.
6326
 
6327
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6328
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6329
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6330
        --Dir=$Pinc
6331
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6332
 
6333
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6334
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6335
    Windows platform.
6336
 
6337
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6338
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6339
            by 'purecov.
6340
 
6341
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6342
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6343
 
6344
        - OPTIONS=purify
6345
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6346
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6347
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6348

6351
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6353
Major changes:
6354
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6355
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6356
    Example:
6357
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6358
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6359
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6360
 
6361
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6362
    been determined.
6363
 
6364
Minor changes:
6365
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6366
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6367
    located at build-time.
6368
 
6369
  * Unix based systems
6370
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6371
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6372
 
6373
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6374
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6375
    driver being built.
6376
 
6377
 
6378
------------------------------------------------------------------------

6383
 
6384
Minor changes:
6385
  * jats_rewrite tool
6386
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6387
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6388
 
6389
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6390
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6391
 
6392
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6393
    dependancy information within a package.
6394
 
6395
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6396
    messages.
6397
 
6398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6399
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6400
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6401
Major changes:
6402
  * makefile.pl directives
6403
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6404
 
6405
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6406
 
6407
    GenerateFiles.
6408
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6409
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6410
                      be run on every invocation.
6411
 
6412
 
6413
Minor changes:
6414
  * Added the jats version command
6415
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6416
 
6417
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6418
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6419
  There are two mechanism:
6420
 
6421
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6422
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6423
 
6424
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6425
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6426
 
6427
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6428
  default.
6429
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6430
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6431

Version: JATS_2.60.0                                Released: 03-Nov-06
6434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6435
Major changes:
6436
  * SunWorks Toolset
6437
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6438
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6439
    It is based on machine type.
6440
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6441
 
6442
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6443
 
6444
Minor changes:
6445
  * Perl DBI interface
6446
    Removed the message showing database connection
6447
 
6448
  * JATS internal library
6449
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6450
 
6451
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6452
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6453
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6454
Major changes:
6455
  * GCC Toolset
6456
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6457
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6458
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6459
 
6460
  * Added platforms
6461
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6462
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6463
    TP5600_EMU
6464
 
6465
Minor changes:
6466
  * descpkg file reader
6467
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6468
    field separator.
6469
 
6470
  * JATS eprog command
6471
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6472
 
6473
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6474
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6475
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6476
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6477
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6478
 
6479
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6480
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6481
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6482
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6483
 
6484
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6485
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
6500
  * JATS wrapper script
6501
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6502
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6503
    to setup links to system programs.

6524
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6525
    Added CompileOptions
6526
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6527
        no_misalign         - Default
6528
 
6529
        multithread         - Default
6530
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6547
    Theses are:
6548
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6549
        SOLARIS_AMD
6550
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6551
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6552
 
6553
Minor changes:
6554

6564
Major changes:
6565
 
6566
Minor changes:
6567
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6568
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6569
    messages
6570
 
6571
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6572
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6573
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6574
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6575
 
6576
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6577
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6578
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6579
Major changes:
6580
 
6581
Minor changes:
6582
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6583
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6584
    library without creating the body of the library:
6585
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6586
 
6587
 
6588
  * MOS toolsets
6589
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6590
    library without creating the body of the library:
6591
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6592
 
6593
  * JATS BIN directories
6594
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6595
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6596
    using autoconf.
6597
 
6598
  * Generate directive
6599
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6600
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6601
 
6602
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6603
 
6604
 
6605
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6606
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6607
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6608
Major changes:
6609
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6610
    Initial release.
6611
 
6612
Minor changes:
6613
 
6614
 
6615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6616
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6618
Major changes:
6619
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6620
    Initial release.
6621
 
6622
  * Packaging directives
6623
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6624
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6625
 
6626
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6627
        SOLARIS
6628
        WIN32
6629
 
6630
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6631
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6632
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6633
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6634
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6635
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6636
 
6637
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6638
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6639
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6640
 
6641
 
6642
Minor changes:
6643
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6644
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6645
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6646
 
6647
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6648
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6649
    location
6650
 
6651
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6652
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6653
 
6654
  * Utility genrc
6655
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6656
 
6657
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6658
    Added option: -new
6659
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6660
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6661
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6662
 
6663
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6664
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6665
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6666
 
6667
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6668
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6669
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6670
 
6671
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6672
   features - in a uniform manner.
6673
 
6674
 
6675
Internal Changes:
6676
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6677
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6678
 
6679
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6680
        1) Platform information available at build time
6681
        2) Dynamic platform names
6682
 
6683
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6684
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6685
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6686
 
6687
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6688
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6689
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6690
 
6691
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6692
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6693
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6694
    needed.
6695
 
6696
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6697
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6698
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6699
    files from all of these.

Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6704
Major changes:
6705
 
6706
Minor changes:
6707
  * WinCE toolset
6708
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6709
 
6710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6711
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6713
Major changes:
6714
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6715
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6716
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6717
 
6718
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6719
 
6720
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6721
    the operations.
6722
 
6723
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6724
 
6725
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6726
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6727
 
6728
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6729
 
6730
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6731
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6732
 
6733
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6734
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6735
    Extended the built-in help
6736
    Added useful error messages
6737
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6738
 
6739
  * WinCE toolset
6740
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6741
 
6742
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6743
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6744
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6745
 
6746
Minor changes:
6747
  * JATS wrapper script
6748
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6749
    the command line.
6750
 
6751
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6752
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6753
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6754
 
6755
Internal Changes:
6756
  * Common Error Reporting
6757
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6758
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6759
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6760
    level.
6761
 
6762
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6763
    displayed.
6764
 
6765
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6766
 
6767
  * Added JatsSystem module
6768
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6769
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major changes:
6773
 
6774
Minor changes:
6775
  * BR Compiler toolset
6776
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6777
    .def files to include other files.
6778
 
6779
  * IAR toolset
6780
    Added AT7272 support
6781
 
6782
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6783
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6784
 
6785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6786
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

6788
Major changes:
6789
 
6790
Minor changes:
6791
  * BR Compiler toolset
6792
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6793
    use.
6794
 
6795
 
6796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6797
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6799
Major changes:
6800
 
6801
Minor changes:
6802
  * Mictotec toolset
6803
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6804
    builds.
6805
 
6806
  * JATS Core
6807
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6808
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6809
    behaviour.
6810
 
6811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6812
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6814
Major changes:
6815
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6816
    Deployment package will be affected.
6817
 
6818
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6819
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6820
 
6821
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6822
 
6823
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6824
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6825
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6826
    packages.
6827
 
6828
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6829
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6830
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6831
 
6832
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6833
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6834
 
6835
Minor changes:
6836
  * SubDir directive
6837
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6838
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6839
 
6840
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6841
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6842
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6843
    of the file usage.
6844
 
6845
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6846
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6847
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6848
 
6849
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6850
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6851
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6852
 
6853
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6854
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6855
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6856
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6857
 
6858
 
6859
Internal Changes:
6860
  * Code refactor
6861
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6862
 
6863
  * Deployment utilities
6864
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6865
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6866
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6867
    the module can locate the file.
6868
 
6869
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6870
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6871
 
6872
  * JATS core
6873
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6874
 
6875
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6876
 
6877
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6878
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6879
    through the use of environment variables.
6880
 
6881
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6882
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6883
 
6884
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6885
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6886
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6887
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6888
 
6889
  * Make environment
6890
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6891
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6892
 
6893
 
6894

Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6904
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6905
 
6906
Not Released.
6907
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6908
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.

6912
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6914
Major changes:
6915
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6916
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6917
    radically replaced.
6918
 
6919
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6920
    Usage:
6921
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6922
 
6923
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6924
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6925
    this solution:
6926
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6927
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6928
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6929
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6930
 
6931
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6932
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6933
    order to work.
6934
 
6935
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6936
    reduced functionality.
6937
 
6938
 
6939
Minor changes:
6940
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6941
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6942
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6943
 
6944
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6945
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6946
    within the makefiles.
6947
        Options:
6948
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6949
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6950
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6951
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6952
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6953
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6954
        Useage:
6955
 
6956
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6957
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6958
 
6959
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6960
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6961
    is not in the current directory.
6962
 
6963
  * Jats Command: ant'
6964
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6965
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6966
 
6967
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
6968
 
6969
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
6970
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
6971
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
6972
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
6973
 
6974
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
6975
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
6976
    Thus
6977
 
6978
        set_WIN32.bat prog
6979
 
6980
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
6981
 
6982

6984
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
6985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6986
Major changes:
6987
 
6988
Minor changes:
6989
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
6990
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
6991
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
6992
    extension. It was bad. Now:
6993
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
6994
 
6995
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
6996
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
6997
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
6998
 
6999
Internal changes:
7000
  * JATS toolsets
7001
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7002
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7003
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7004
 
7005
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7006
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7007
 
7008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7009
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7011
Major changes:
7012
  * Jats command: etool
7013
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7014
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7015
 
7016
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7017
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7018
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7019
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7020
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7021
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7022
 
7023
Minor changes:
7024
 
7025
 
7026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7027
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7029
Major changes:
7030
  * JATS environment variables
7031
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7032
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7033
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7034
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7035
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7036
 
7037
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7038
              Remote repository
7039
 
7040
    Added GBE_DPLY
7041
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7042
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7043
 
7044
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7045
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7046
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7047
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7048
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7049
 
7050
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7051
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7052
 
7053
 
7054
Minor changes:
7055
  * JATS utility: build
7056
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7057
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7058
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7059
 
7060
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7061
    Ensure label is not locked
7062
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7063
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7064
 
7065
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7066
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7067
    to a specific type of build.
7068
 
7069
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7070
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7071
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7072
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7073
 
7074
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7075
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7076
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7077
 
7078
  * JATS utility: release
7079
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7080
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7081
 
7082
  * JATS utility: label
7083
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7084
    when it is being created.
7085
 
7086
Internal Changes
7087
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7088
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7089
 
7090
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7091
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7092
 
7093
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7094
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7095
    different results.
7096
 
7097
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7098
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7099
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7100
 
7101
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7102
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7104
Major changes:
7105
 
7106
  * MCR toolset
7107
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7108
 
7109
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7110
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7111
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7112
Major changes:
7113
  * WIN32 utilities
7114
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7115
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7116
 
7117
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7118
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7119
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7120
 
7121
Minor changes:
7122
  * BuildVersion
7123
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7124
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7125
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7126
 
7127
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7128
 
7129
  * Unix Builds
7130
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7131
    library or a shared library.
7132
 
7133
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7134
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7135
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7136
    start with 'lib'.
7137
 
7138
  * BuildPkgArchive
7139
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7140
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7141
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7142
 
7143
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7144
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7146
Major changes:
7147
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7148
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7149
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7150
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7151
    being manually maintained.
7152
 
7153
 
7154
Minor changes:
7155
  * MakeAnt directive
7156
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7157
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7158
    supports ANT builds.
7159
 
7160
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7161
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7162
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7163
 
7164
  * Label utility
7165
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7166
    files to be labeled.
7167
 
7168
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7169
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7170
    on Solaris.
7171
 
7172
  * Generated makefiles
7173
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7174
    nothing.
7175
 
7176
  * MOS Toolset
7177
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7178
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7179
    modules.
7180
 
7181
  * Utility: gen_cots
7182
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7183
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7184
 
7185
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7186
 
7187
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7188
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7189
 
7190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7191
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7192
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7193
Major changes:
7194
  None
7195
 
7196
Minor changes:
7197
  * DEVI addressed
7198
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7199
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7200
 
7201
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7202
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7203
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7204
 
7205
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7206
 
7207
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7208
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7209
 
7210
  * RunTest directive
7211
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7212
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7213
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7214
 
7215
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7216
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7217
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7218
    packaged under JATS
7219
 
7220
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7221
          supported within JATS.
7222
 
7223
  * Jats utility wrapper
7224
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7225
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7226
 
7227
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7228
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7229
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7230
 
7231
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7232
    Eg: jats ant
7233
 
7234
  * Jats utility wrapper
7235
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7236
 
5710 dpurdie 7237
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7238
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7239
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7240
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7241
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7242
 
5710 dpurdie 7243
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7244
    expect a build.pl file.
7245
 
7246
  * Jats utility wrapper
7247
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7248
 
7249
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7250
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7251
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7252
 
7253
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7254
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7255
 
7256
  * Build files
7257
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7258
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7259

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

7742
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7744
Major changes:
7745
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7746
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7747
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7748
      longer a list of directories.
7749
 
7750
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7751
      done within the toolset.
7752
 
7753
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7754
 
7755
    * JATS environment variables
7756
      Redefined variable
7757
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7758
                          Previously was a list that included the
7759
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7760
 
7761
      New variable
7762
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7763
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7764
 
7765
 
7766
Minor changes:
7767
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7768
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7769
      target platforms to be extracted.
7770
 
7771
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7772
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7773
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7774
 
7775
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7776
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7777
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7778
 
7779
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7780
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7781
 
7782
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7783
      Support ANT based XML files
7784
 
7785
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7786
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7787
      structure.
7788
 
7789
    * makefile.pl's
7790
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7791
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7792
 
7793
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7794
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7795
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7796
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7797
 
7798
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7799
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7800
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7801
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7802
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7803
      -- Auto.
7804
 
7805
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7806
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7807
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7808
 
7809
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7810
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7811
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7812
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7813
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7814
 
7815
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7816
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7817
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7818
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7819
      installed on the machine.
7820
 
7821
    * WINCE Targets
7822
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7823
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7824
 
7825
 
7826
 
7827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7828
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7830
Major changes:
7831
    * WIN32 platforms
7832
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7833
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7834
      and installed packages.
7835
 
7836
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7837
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7838
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7839
 
7840
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7841
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7842
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7843
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7844
      searched when looking for libraries.
7845
 
7846
Minor changes:
7847
    * GenerateFiles directive
7848
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7849
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7850
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7851
                          and drive letter
7852
 
7853
    * Src directive
7854
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7855
      directory of a package.
7856
 
7857
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7858
 
7859
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7860
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7861
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7862
 
7863
    * jats_rewrite utility
7864
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7865
 
7866
 
7867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7868
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7870
Major changes:
7871
    * SunWorks production builds
7872
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7873
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7874
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7875
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7876
      compiler documentation.
7877
 
7878
    * MOS Toolset
7879
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7880
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7881
 
7882
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7883
 
7884
Minor changes:
7885
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7886
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7887
      This should not affect current users.
7888
 
7889
    * Mugfile generation
7890
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7891
      specified.
7892
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7893
 
7894
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7895
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7896
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7897
Major changes:
7898
    MOS Toolset
7899
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7900
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7901
 
7902
Minor changes:
7903
    * Jats wrapper script
7904
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7905
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7906
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7907
 
7908
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7909
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7910
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7911
      may be suspect.
7912
 
7913
    * GenerateFiles directive
7914
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7915
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7916
 
7917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7918
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7920
Major changes:
7921
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7922
      build.xml files.
7923
 
7924
Minor changes:
7925
    * WIN32 toolset.
7926
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7927
 
7928
    * MakeAnt
7929
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7930
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7931
 
7932
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7933
 
7934
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7935
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7936
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7937
 
7938
    * MakeAnt directive
7939
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7940
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7941
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7942
 
7943
      Recommended usage:
7944
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7945
 
7946
Internal Changes
7947
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7948

7951
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7953
Major changes:
7954
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7955
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7956
      files packaged into the release.
7957
 
7958
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
7959
            MASS-00166 JATS Reference Manual

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7962
 
7963
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7964
      The recommended platform is:
7965
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7966
 
7967
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
7968
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
7969
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
7970
      components.
7971
 
7972
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in
7973

7976
 
7977
Minor changes:
7978
    * Support for Windows DLLs
7979
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
7980
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
7981
      by the package to be accessed.
7982
 
7983
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
7984
      application or visual studio.
7985
 
7986
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
7987
      and the JATS Core path.
7988
 
7989
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
7990
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
7991
      directive or if no directories where specified.
7992
 
7993
    * MOS Toolset
7994
      Add support for the TPT device
7995
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
7996
 
7997
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
7998
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
7999
 
8000
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8001
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8002
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8003
 
8004
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8005
 
8006
Internal Changes
8007
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8008
      in jats.pl
8009
 
8010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8011
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8013
Major changes:
8014
    * JATS wrapper script
8015
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8016
 
8017
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8018
 
8019
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8020
 
8021
Minor changes:
8022
    * Deployment support
8023
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8024
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8025
 
8026
    * 'build'
8027
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8028
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8029
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8030
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8031
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8032
 
8033
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8034
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8035
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8036
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8037
                                      the link phase.
8038
 
8039
    * BuildPkgArchive
8040
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8041
      Previously these were ignored.
8042
      Minor code cleanup
8043
 
8044
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8045
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8046
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8047
 
8048
    * SOLARIS targets
8049
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8050
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8051
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8052
 
8053
    * MugFile generation
8054
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8055
      included in the final package.
8056
 
8057
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8058
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8059
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8060
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8061
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8062
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8063
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8064
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8065
 
8066
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8067
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8068
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8069
            --Option=(some_text)
8070
            --Option=[some_text]
8071
            --Option={some_text}
8072
 
8073
Internal Changes
8074
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8075
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8076
      code.
8077
 
8078

8079
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8081
Major changes:
8082
    * JATS wrapper script
8083
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8084
 
8085
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8086
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8087
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8088
      other components.
8089
 
8090
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8091
 
8092
    * JATS
8093
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8094
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8095
 
8096
    * Build operations
8097
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8098
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8099
      packages.
8100
 
8101
    * Make operations
8102
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8103
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8104
 
8105
Minor changes:
8106
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8107
      deployment builds.
8108
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8109
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8110
 
8111
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8112
 
8113
    * build.pl
8114
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8115
        processed. Allows
8116
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8117
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8118
        production.
8119
 
8120
    * MOS toolset
8121
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8122
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8123
 
8124
    * create_dpkg utility
8125
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8126
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8127
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8128
      progress of the build.
8129
 
8130
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8131
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8132
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8133
      system.
8134

8137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8138
Major changes:
8139
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8140
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8141
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8142
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8143
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8144
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8145
 
8146
    * WCEX86A500 target
8147
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8148
 
8149
    * MOS Toolsets
8150
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8151
      the compiler.
8152
 
8153
    * RunTest directive
8154
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8155
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8156
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8157
 
8158
Minor changes:
8159
    * JATS BUILD
8160
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8161
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8162
      highlight bad settings.
8163
 
8164
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8165
      access to extensions.
8166
 
8167
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8168
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8169
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8170
Major changes:
8171
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8172
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8173
 
8174
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8175
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8176
      under unix.
8177
 
8178
Minor changes:
8179
    * label utility
8180
      Added options to:
8181
        o Delete a label
8182
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8183
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8184
 
8185
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8186
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8187
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8188
      Package directives.
8189
 
8190
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8191
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8192
      system.
8193
 
8194
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8195
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8197
Major changes:
8198
    * MOS Toolset
8199
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8200
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8201
 
8202
    * WIN32 Toolset
8203
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8204
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8205
      list.
8206
 
8207
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8208
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8209
 
8210
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8211
 
8212
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8213
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8214
 
8215
 
8216
Minor changes:
8217
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8218
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8219
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8220
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8221
      corrected.
8222
 
8223
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8224
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8225
 
8226
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8227
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8228
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8229

8231
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8233
Major changes:
8234
    * WIN32 Toolset
8235
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8236
      use with multithreaded modes.
8237
 
8238
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8239
      --OnlyProd.
8240
 
8241
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8242
      within the makefile.pl.
8243
 
8244
Minor changes:
8245
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8246
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8247
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8248
      platforms.
8249
 
8250
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8251
 
8252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8253
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8254
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8255
Major changes:
8256
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8257
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8258
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8259
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8260
 
8261
    * Preliminary Support
8262
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8263
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8264
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8265
 
8266
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8267
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8268
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8269
 
8270
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8271
      building. The default build will build both.
8272
 
8273
Minor changes:
8274
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8275
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8276
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8277
 
8278
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8279
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8280
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8281
 
8282
 
8283

8284
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8286
Major changes:
8287
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8288
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8289
      or all.
8290
 
8291
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8292
      the library or program.
8293
 
8294
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8295
 
8296
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8297
      library or any debug files.
8298
 
8299
    * GenerateFiles
8300
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8301
 
8302
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8303
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8304
 
8305
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8306
              The filename of the prereq file
8307
 
8308
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8309
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8310
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8311
 
8312
 
8313
Minor changes:
8314
    * create_dpkg utility
8315
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8316
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8317
      the package has been altered.
8318

8322
Major changes:
8323
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420

      This is a WINCE target
8325
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8326
 
8327
    * New toolset
8328
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8329
 
8330
    * Modified toolset
8331
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8332
 
8333
    * Modified toolset
8334
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8335
 
8336
Minor changes:
8337
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8338
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8339
 
8340
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8341
 
8342
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8343
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8344
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8345
 
8346
      The change allows the construct
8347
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8348
      to be replaced by the simpler
8349
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8350
 
8351
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8352
      specified name.    
8353

8372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8373
Major changes:
8374
    * The "package.pl" file.
8375
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8376
      package name being taken from the build name
8377
 
8378
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8379
      package Build Name.
8380
 
8381
Minor changes:
8382
    * create_dpkg utility
8383
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

8391
    * Dependancy generator
8392
      Correct two common situations
8393
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8394
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8395
           ansi, but is often done.
8396
 
8397
    * GCC toolset
8398
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8399
      being created in the correct place.
8400
 
8401
    * jats "label"
8402
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8403
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8404
 
8405
 
8406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8407
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8409
Major changes:
8410
 
8411
Minor changes:
8412
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8413
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8414
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8415
 
8416
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8417
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8418
 
8419
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8420
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8421
      package was not being transferred.
8422
 
8423

8426
Major changes:
8427
    * Support for solaris_i386
8428
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8429
      binaries for this target.
8430
 
8431
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8432
      with the GCC compiler.
8433
 
8434
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8435
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8436
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8437
 
8438
Minor changes:
8439
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8440
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8441
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8442
 
8443
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8444
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8445
 
8446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8447
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8449
Major changes:
8450
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8451
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8452
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8453
 
8454
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8455
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8456
 
8457
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8458
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8459
      with either " or ' characters.
8460
 
8461
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8462
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8463
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8464
 
8465
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8466
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8467
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8468
 
8469
    * Jats wrapper
8470
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8471
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8472
      further commands.
8473
 
8474
Minor changes:
8475
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8476
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8477
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8478
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8479
 
8480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8481
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8482
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8483
Major changes:
8484
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8485
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8486
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8487
 
8488
      These options operation affect all components within the
8489
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8490
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8491
 
8492
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8493
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.

    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8506
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8507
 
8508
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8509
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8510
 
8511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8512
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8514
Major changes:
8515
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8516
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8517
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8518
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8519
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8520
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8521
      installed.
8522
 
8523
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8524
      libraries that depend on each other.
8525
 
8526
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8527
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8528
 
8529
Minor changes:
8530
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8531
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8532
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8533
 
8534
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8535
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8536
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8537
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8538
 
8539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8540
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8542
Major changes:
8543
 
8544
Minor changes:
8545
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8546
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8547
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8548
      file.
8549
 
8550
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8551
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8552
 
8553
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8554
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8555
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8556
 
8557
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8558
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8559
 
8560
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8561
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8562
 
8563
    * WinCE toolsets
8564
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8565
      compiler specific libraries.
8566
 
8567
    * SOLARIS toolset
8568
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8569
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8570
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8571
 
8572
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8573
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8574
      cleaned up.
8575
 
8576
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8577
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8578
 
8579
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8580
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8581
      with either " or ' characters.
8582
 
8583
 
8584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8585
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8587
Major changes:
8588
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8589
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8590
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8591
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8592
 
8593
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8594
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8595
 
8596
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8597
      user.
8598
 
8599
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8600
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8601
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8602
 
8603
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8604
      for the   -Gf option.
8605
 
8606
Minor changes:
8607
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8608
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8609
 
8610
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8611
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8612
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8613
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8614
 
8615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8616
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8618
Major changes:
8619
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8620
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8621
 
8622
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8623
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8624
      data addresses for the board.
8625
 
8626
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8627
 
8628
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8629
 
8630
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8631
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8632
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8633
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8634
         PackageFile
8635
 
8636
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8637
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8638
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8639
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8640
 
8641
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8642
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8643
      to be installed and packaged.
8644
 
8645
Minor changes:
8646
 
8647
    * cache_dpkg utility
8648
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8649
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8650
 
8651
    * label utility
8652
      New option -auto to create and label
8653
 
8654
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8655
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8656
 
8657
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8658
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8659
      directory. ie:
8660
 
8661
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8662
 
8663
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8664
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8665
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8666
 
8667
 
8668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8669
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8670
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8671
Major changes:
8672
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8673
 
8674
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8675
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8676
 
8677
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8678
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8679
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8680
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8681
 
8682
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8683
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8684
      compilation.
8685
 
8686
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8687
 
8688
Minor changes:
8689
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8690
      one is being produced.
8691
 
8692
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8693
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8694
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8695
 
8696
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8697
 
8698
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8699
 
8700
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8701
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8702
 
8703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8704
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8705
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8706
Major changes:
8707
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8708
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8709
 
8710
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8711
 
8712
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8713
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8714
      same directory
8715
 
8716
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8717
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8718
      documenattion.
8719
 
8720
Minor changes:
8721
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8722
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8723
 
8724
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8725
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8726
 
8727
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8728
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8729
 
8730
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8731
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8732
 
8733
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8734
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8735
      be exempt from this test.
8736
 
8737
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8738
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8739
 
8740
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8741
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8742
 
8743
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8744
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8745
      does.
8746
 
8747
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8748
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8749
 
8750
 
8751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8752
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8754
Major changes:
8755
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8756
 
8757
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8758
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8759
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8760
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8761
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8762
 
8763
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8764
      operations.
8765
 
8766
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8767
 
8768
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8769
 
8770
Minor changes
8771
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8772
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8773
 
8774
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8775
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8776
      directory is not added to the library path.
8777
 
8778
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8779
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8780
 
8781
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8782
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8783
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8784
 
8785
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8786
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8787
      specific flags.
8788
 
8789
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8790
 
8791
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8792
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8793
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8794
 
8795
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8796
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8797
      JATS.
8798
 
8799
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8800
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8801
 
8802
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8803
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8804
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8805
 
8806
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8807
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8808
 
8809
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8810
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8811
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8812
 
8813
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8814
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8815
 
8816
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8817
 
8818
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8819
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8820
 
8821
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8822
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8823
      objects.
8824
 
8825
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8826
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8827
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8828
      build defendants.
