Minor changes:
840
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
841
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
842
 
843
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
844
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
845
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
846
      build errors.
847
 
848
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
849
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
850
 
851
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
852
      Shorthand for
853
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
854
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
855
 
856
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
857
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
858
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
859
      Examples: 
860
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
861
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
862
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
863
 
864
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
865
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
866
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
867
 
868
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
869
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
870
      build system.
871
 
872
Experimental:
873
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
874
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
875
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

880
------------------------------------------------------------------------
881
 
882
Minor changes:
883
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
884
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
885
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
886
 
887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
888
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
890
 
891
Minor changes:
892
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
893
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
894
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
895
 
896
    * Build Files
897
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
898
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
899
 
900
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
901
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
902
 
903
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
904
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
905
 
906
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
907
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
908
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
909
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
910
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
911
 
912
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
913
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
914
     different architectures.
915
 
916
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
917
     are directed to one or more machines.
918
 
919
     Intended uses:
920
        Windows: Creating installers. 
921
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
922
 
923
       All: Specialized packaging.
924
 
925
    * Makefiles
926
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
927
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
928
      Eg:
929
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
930
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
931
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
932
      It could also have been written as:
933
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
934
      but NOT as:
935
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
936
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
937
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
938
 
939
    * Utility: sandbox
940
      Subcommand info 
941
        - Added option to test fingerprints

948
Minor changes:
949
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
950
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
951
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
952
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
953
 
954
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
955
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
956
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
957
 
958
    * GenerateFiles directive
959
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
960

978
 
979
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
980
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
981
 
982
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
983
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
984
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
985
      machine may build the toolset.
986
 
987
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
988
      platform.

1010
 
1011
    * Utility: escrow
1012
      Added -skim option
1013
 
1014
    * Utility: sandbox

1017
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1018
 
1019
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1020
 
1021
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1022
        if an error is detected.
1023
 
1024
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1025
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1026
 
1027
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1028
        skipped during the build.
1029
 
1030
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1035
 
1036
Minor changes:
1037
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1038
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1039
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1040
 
1041
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
1042
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

                             in the name
1155
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1156
 
1157
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1158
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1159
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1160
 
1161
    * Make operations uninstall, unpackage and clobber

1951
 
1952
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
1953
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

1985
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
1986
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
1987
 
1988
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
1989
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
1990
 
1991
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh

2281
 
2282
Minor changes:
2283
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2284
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2285
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2286
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2287
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2288
 
2289
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2290
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.
2291

2299
      Added options:
2300
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2301
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2302
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2303
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2304
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2305
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2306
 
2307
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2308
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2309
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2310
 
2311
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2312
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2317
Major changes:
2318
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2319
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2320
      intended to build deployed software.
2321
 
2322
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2323
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2324
 
2325
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2326
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2327
 
2328
Minor changes:
2329
    * Jats wrapper script
2330
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2331
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2332
      Subversion instance of the command.
2333
 
2334
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2335
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2336
 
2337
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2338
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2339
 
2340
    * Utility: jats upddep
2341
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2342
      file under windows.
2343
 
2344
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2345
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2346
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2347
 
2348
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2349
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2350
 
2351
    * GCC Toolchain
2352
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2368
Major changes:
2369
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2370
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2371
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2372
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2373
 
2374
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2375
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2383
      family
3559 dpurdie 2384
 
2385
Minor changes:
2386
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2387
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2388
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2389
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2390
      line.
2391
 
2392
    * Jats Configuration
2393
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2394
 
2395
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2396
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2397
      and Linux.
2398
 
2399
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2400
      correctly rippled.

2407
Minor changes:
2408
    * Jats Core
2409
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2410
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2411
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2412
 
2413
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2414
      Used only by the build daemons.
2415
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2416
 
2417
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2418
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2419
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2424
Major changes:
2425
 
2426
Minor changes:
2427
    * svnrelease utility
2428
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2429
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2430
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2431
 
2432
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2433
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2434
      the named tag.
2435
 
2436
    * svnrelease utility
2437
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2438
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2449
        covered by the makefile.
2450
 
2451
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2452
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2453
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2454
 
2455
    * ALL Toolsets
2456
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2457
 
2458
    * Utility vcsdiff
2459
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2460
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2461
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
2470
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2471
      directory of the tag.
2472
 
2473
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2474
      repository.
2475
 
2476
    * Subversion Support
2477
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2478
      showing the user what to do.
2479
 
2480
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2481
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2482
      we have build support for this target.
2483
 
2484
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2485
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2486
 
2487
Internal:
2488
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2489
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2490
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2491
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

Minor changes:
2508
    * Makefile generation
2509
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2510
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2511
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2512
      of warnings.
2513
 
2514
    * Makefile Generation
2515
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2524
Major changes:
2525
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2526
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2527
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2528
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2529
 
2530
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2531
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2532
      windows path scheme.
2533
 
2534
Minor changes:
2535
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2536
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2537
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2538
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2539
 
2540
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2541
        jats make clobber
2542
      This operates as before.
2543
 
2544
    * Utility: escrow
2545
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2546
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2547
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2548
 
2549
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2550
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2551
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2552
 
2553
    * Utility: svn : url
2554
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2555
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2556
 
2557
    * Utility: svn : import
2558
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2559
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2560
 
2561
    * Subversion Support
2562
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2563
      showing the user what to do.

2565
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2566
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2567
      repositories.

2572
 
2573
Minor changes:
2574
    * Jats build
2575
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2576
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2577
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2578
 
2579
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2580
      command, with a sandbox.

2605
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2606
                        The named branch must not exist
2607
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2608
                        The named branch must exist
2609
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2643
 
2644
Major changes:
2645
    * Jats Version Number
2646
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

Major changes:
2661
    * Subversion support

2664
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2665
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2666
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2667
 
2668
Minor changes:
2669
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2670
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2671
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2672
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2673
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2674
 
2675
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2676
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2677
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2678
 
2679
    * Linux support utilities
2680
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2681
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
2682

2686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2687
Major changes:
2688
    * Subversion Repository location
2689
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2690
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2691
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2692
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2693
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2694
 
2695
Minor changes:
2696
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2697
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2698
 
2699
    * Utility: svnrelease
2700
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2701
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2702
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2703
 
2704
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2705
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2706
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2707
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2708
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2709
 
2710
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2711
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2712
 
2713
    * Utility: sandbox
2714
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2715
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2716
 
2717
      Subcommand: populate
2718
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2719
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2720
      sandbox.
2721
 
2722
    * Subversion Support
2723
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2724
      repository is not supported.
2725
 
2726
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2727
      a progress indication.
2728
 
2729
    * Jats Online Documentation
2730
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2731
      online documentation.
2732
 
2733
    * Generated makefiles
2734
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2784
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2785
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2786
 
2787
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 2788

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2811
Major changes:
2812
 
2813
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2814
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2815
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2816
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2817
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2818
 
2819
    * C# Toolchain
2820

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2832
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2833
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2834
 
2835
    * Utility ccrelease
2836
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2837
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2838
 
2839
    * Utility: svn
2840
      Improved package import processing.
2841
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2869
Major changes:
2870
 
2871
Minor changes:
2872
    * Command: jats clobber
2873
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2874
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2875
 
2876
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2877
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2878
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2879
 
2880
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2881
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2882
 
377 dpurdie 2883
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2884
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2885
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2886
 
2887
    * jats svnlabel
2888
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2889
 
2890
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2891
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2892
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2893
 
2894
    * Built Daemon support
2895
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2896
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2897

2900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2901
Major changes:
2902
    * GCC Toolset
2903
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2904
      New methodology is:
2905
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2906
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2907
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2908
        as the main binary.
2909
 
2910
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2911
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2912
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2913
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2914
      both worlds.
2915
 
2916
Minor changes:
2917
    * HTML Documentation
2918
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2919
 
2920
Internal changes:
2921
    * Generated makefiles

2923
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

2928
Major changes:
2929
    * Jats Sandbox
2930
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2931
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2932
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2933
 
2934
    * RIORDS Platform
2935
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
2936
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion
2937
 
2938
      Package up the 'hex' file created when the .img file is processed.
2939

      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3049
 
3050
    * jats build -noforce
3051
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3052
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3053
      be forced.
3054
 
3055
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3056
 
3057
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3058
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3059
 
3060
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3061
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3062
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3063
 
3064
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3065
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3066
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3067
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3068

      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3071

3074
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.

3077
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3078
      installed and can be used.
3079
 
3080
    * Toolset: CSharp
3081
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3082
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3083
      character.
3084
 
3085
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3086
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3087
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3088
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3089
      masking an error.
3090
 
3091
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3092
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3093
      enhancement.

3102
 
3103
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3104
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3105
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3106
 
3107
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3108
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3109
      packages.
3110
 
3111
    * make command: show
3112
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3113
      'jats make show' command.
3114
 
3115
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3116
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3117
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.

      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3344
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3345
 
3346
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3347
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3348
      need toolset specific information.
3349
 
3350
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3351
 
3352
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
3353
 
3354
Internal:
3355
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
3356
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
3357
      processing into jats.pl
3358
 
3359
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3360
      a ClearCase site.

3424
Major changes:
3425
    * [DEVI-062103]

3459
Minor changes:
3460
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3461
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3462
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3463
      resulting in multiple builds.
3464
 
3465
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3466
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3467
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3468
 
3469
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3470
 
3471
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3472
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3473
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Major changes:
3479
 
3480
Minor changes:
3481
    * Jats label command
3482
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3483
      Not recommended for general use.
3484
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3485
      directories within the current view.
3486
 
3487
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3488
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3489
      elsewhere.
3490
 
3491
    * Jats save_build
3492
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3493
      the determination of a branch.
3494
 
3495
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3496
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3497
 
3498
    * Jats build
3499
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3500
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3501
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3502
 
3503
    * Borland6 toolset
3504
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3505
      to match the documented install location of:
3506
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3507
 
3508
    * Jats build
3509
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3510
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3511
      This is a very quick operation.
3512
 
3513
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3514
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3515
 
3516
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3517
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3518
      files are only recreated if need be.
3519
 
3520
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3521
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3522
      make the package.
3523
 
3524
    * Jats sandbox
3525
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3526
 
3527
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3528
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3529
 
3530
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3531
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3532
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3533
      is performed.
3534
 
3535
Internal:
3536
    * build.pl
3537

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3573
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3574
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3575
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3576
 
3577
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3578
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3579
 
3580
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3581
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3582
      platform builds.
3583
 
3584
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3585
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3586
      directory tree.
3587
 
3588
    * New command: jats man
3589
      Produces full help on a specified item.

3601
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3602
Major changes:
3603
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3604
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3605
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3606
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3607
 
3608
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3609
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3610
 
3611
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3612
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3613
 
3614
      Examples:
3615
            jats upddep -show
3616
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3617
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3618
 
3619
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3620
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3621
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3622
 
3623
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3624
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3625
 
3626
Minor changes:
3627
 
3628
Internal changes:
3629
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3634
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3635
Major changes:
3636
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3637
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3638
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3639
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3640
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3641
      stream.
3642
 
3643
      Example:
3644
 
3645
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3646
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3647
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3648
                     );
3649
Minor changes:
3650
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3651
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3652
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3653
      directive.
3654
 
3655
    * GCC Toolkit
3656
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3657
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3658
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3659
      the point of termination.
3660
 
3661
    * Jats save_build utility
3662
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3663
      under windows.
3664
 
3665
    * Jats sandbox
3666
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3667
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3668
      in different sandboxes.
3669
 
3670
    * Jats release
3671
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

      directory.
3683
 
3684
    * jats label utility
3685
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3686
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3687
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3688
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3689
 
3690
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3701
        noExceptions            - Disable
3702
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3703
      Example:
3704
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3705
 
3706
    * Solaris targets
3707
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3708
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3709
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3710
      machine type.

    * New Build Platform: VB6
3717
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3718
      project files.
3719
 
3720
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3721
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3722
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3723
 
3724
Minor changes:
3725
    * Added more internal documentation
3726
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3727
 
3728

3731
    * Jats save_build utility
3732
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3733
      under windows.
3734
 
3735
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3736
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3737
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3738
      libraries.
3739
 
3740
    * Solaris builds
3741
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3742
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3743
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3744
      of the build failure.
3745
 
3746
 
3747
Internal changes:
3748
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3749
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3750
 
3751
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3752
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
3756
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3757
Major changes:
3758
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3759
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3760
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3761
      existing 32-bit builds.
3762
 
3763
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3764
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3765
 
3766
Minor changes:
3767
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3768
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3769
 
3770
    * Package searching
3771
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3772
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3773
 
3774
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3775
 
3776
    * jats help
3777
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3778
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3779
 
3780
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3781
      with one of:
3782
        jats -h
3783
        jats help jats
3784
 
3785
Internal:
3786
    * cmdfile utility
3787
      Added macros:
3788
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3789
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3790
 
3791
      Corrected
3792
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3793
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3794
 
3795
      Extended
3796
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3797
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3798
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3799
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Version:  2.80.4000.cr                               Released: 17-Dec-09
3803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3804
Major changes:
3805
 
3806
Minor changes:
3807
 
3808
Internal changes
3809
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3810
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3811
      Useful side effects include:
3812
 
3813
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3814
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3815
 
3816
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3817
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3818
 
3819
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3820
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3821
        BuildPkgArchive
3822
 
313 dpurdie 3823
    * Perl Modules
3824
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3825
      release. This will:
3826
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3827
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3828
          reported by ERG.
3829
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3834
Major changes:
3835
 
3836
Minor changes:
3837
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3838
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3839
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3840
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3841
 
3842
    * Jats label utility
3843
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3844
 
3845
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3846
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3847
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3848
 
3849
    * Jats core
3850
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3851
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3852
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3861
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3862
      This is now fixed.
3863
 
309 dpurdie 3864
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3865
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3866
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3867
 
3868
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3869
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

3876
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3877
    * Generating makefiles
3878
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3879
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3880
      an error.
3881
 
3882
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3883
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3884
 
3885
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3886
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3892
Major changes:
3893
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3894
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3895
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3896
 
3897
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3898
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3899
 
3900
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3901
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3902
      Support includes
3903
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3904
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3905
 
3906
Minor changes:
3907
    * Build file processing
3908
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3909
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3910
 
3911
    * MOS builds
3912
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3913
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3914
 
3915
    * MOS builds
3916
      New 'known' product: PICP
3917
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3918
 
3919
    * GenerateFiles directive
3920
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3921
        under windows.
3922
 
3923
        .
3924
 
3925
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3926
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3927
 
3928
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3929
      to the output stream.
3930
 
3931
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3932
 
3933
    * Windows Shell
3934
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3935
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3936
 
3937
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3938
 
3939
    * H8S toolset
3940
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3941
 
3942
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3943
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3944
 
3945
Internal changes
3946
    * WinCe builds
3947
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3948
      content of the file.
3949
 
3950
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3951
 
3952
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3953
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3965
Major changes:
3966
 
3967
Minor changes:
3968
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3969
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3970
      Changes are transparent to users.
3971
 
3972
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3973
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3974
      this occurs.
3975
 
3976
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3977
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3978
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3979
      automated build framework.
3980
 
3981
    * jats sandbox command
3982
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3983
      'create' command.
3984
 
3985
    * jats command aliases. Added
3986
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3987
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3992
Major changes:
3993
    * Jats Command line and -java option
3994
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
3995
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
3996
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
3997
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
3998
      will work as expected
3999
 
4000
Minor changes:
4001
    * VS2008 Toolset
4002
      Picking up incorrect config details
4003
      May result in a warning message.
4004
 
4005
    * gen_cots utility
4006
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4007
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4008
 
4009
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4010
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
4011
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4058
Major changes:
4059
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4060
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4061
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4062
 
4063
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4064
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4065
 
4066
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4067
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4068
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4069
           names cannot be changed.
4070
 
4071
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4072
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4073
 
4074
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4075
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4076
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4077
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4078
 
4079
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4080
      file.
4081
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4082
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4083
      MyPackage.dpk.
4084
 
4085
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4086
      file.
4087
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4088
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4089
      MyDll.dpr.
4090
 
4091
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4092
      file.
4093
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4094
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4095
      MyProg.dpr.
4096
 
4097
Minor changes:
4098
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4099
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4100
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4101
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4102
 
4103
    * BuildVersion directive
4104
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4105
      in a Delphi Unit.
4106
 
4107
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4108
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4109
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4110
      'know' the location of the files.
4111
 
4112
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4113
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4114
 
4115
Internal Changes:
4116
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4117
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4118
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4119
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4120
 
4121
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4122
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4123
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4128
Major changes:
4129
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4130
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4131
      information for purely C++ builds.
4132
 
289 dpurdie 4133
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4134
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4135
 
289 dpurdie 4136
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4137
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4138
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4139
 
4140
Minor changes:
4141
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

4143
 
4144
    * updatenodespec utility
4145
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4146

4183
    * New command: jats make show
4184
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4185
      used in the build.
4186
 
4187
    * Escrow command
4188
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4189
 
4190
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4191
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4192
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4193
 
4194
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4195
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 4199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4200
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4201
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4202
 
279 dpurdie 4203
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4204
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4205
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4206
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4207
 
4208
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4209
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4210
 
4211
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4212
 
4213
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4214
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4215
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4216
 
4217
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4218
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4219
        processed.
4220
 
4221
      Removed the '-delete' option
4222
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4223
 
277 dpurdie 4224
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4225
    * Sandbox command
4226
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4227
 
4228
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4229
      target from consideration in the build set.
4230
 
4231
    * MCR Toolset
4232
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4233
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4234
 
4235
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4236
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4237
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4238
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4239
 
4240
    * Jats run_test command
4241
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4242
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4243
 
4244
    * descpkg file
4245
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4246
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4247
 
4248
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4249
     Now contains build trace information
4250
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4251
 
4252
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4253
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4254
     it contains 'jar' files.
4255
 
4256
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4257
 
4258
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4259
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4260
 
4261
   * BuildVersion directive
4262
     Form:
4263
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4264
     now works as expected.
4265
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4266
 
4267
Internal Changes:
4268
 
4269
    * Error reporting mechanism
4270
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4271
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4272
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4283
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4284
    then starts.
4285
 
4286
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4287
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4288
 
4289
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4290
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4291
    non-platform option.
4292
 
279 dpurdie 4293
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4457
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4458
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4459
 
4460
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4461
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4462
      compatibility.
4463
 
4464

4468
            --InstallProg=list
4469
 
4470
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4471
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4472
      GenerateCab.
4473
 
4474

4515
    * Windows utilities  [DEVI-051360]
4516
      Added rpccpp to assist in the creation of rcpgen based modules under
4517
      windows.
4518
 
4519
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolsets
4520
      Made used of rpccpp. These platforms can now support the creation
4521
      of XDR based modules.
4522
 
4523
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
4524
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
4525
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the
4526
      generator process does not operate if the output files already exist,
4527
      such as the rpcgen utility.
4528
 
4529
    * Jats MakeAnt directive
4530
      Correct problem where unit_tests could not be run.

      Merged files that exist in the target archive are now compared
4539
      against the local file. A difference is considered to be an error.
4540
 
4541
Internal Changes:
4542
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
4543
      the modules in other modules. This is now a package
4544
 
4545
    * JatsSystem Module
4546
      Resolved issues when 'shell' is used to invoke a 'system' command.
4547
      Now quote the command string being passed to the shell.
4548
 
4549
      Resolved issues with JatsCmd
4550
      Now takes an array of arguments.
4551
 
4552
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
4553
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4554
      programs.
4555
 
4556
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
4557
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

4605
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4606
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4607
      time.
4608
 
4609
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4610
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4623
 
4624
Internal Changes:
4625
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4626
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4627
      Previously was being done at two places
4628
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4629
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4630
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4631
 
4632
    * JATS make: Command line
4633
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4634

4642
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4643
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4644
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4645

4668
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4669
 
4670
    * FileUtils package.
4671
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.
4672
      Provides consistent error messages and simplifies creation of small files.

4691
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4692
 
4693
Minor changes:
4694
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4695
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4705
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4706
 
4707
      New platforms:
4708
        CSHARP2005
4709
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4710
         Support extends to allow:
4711
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4712
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4713
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4714
 
4715
        VS2005
4716
         Support extends to allow:
4717
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4718
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4719
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4720
 
4721
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4722
      through a version selector:
4723
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4724
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4725
 
4726
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4727
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4728
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4729
 
4730
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4731
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4732
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4733
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4734
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4735
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4736
          under VS2005.
4737
 
4738
Minor changes:
4739
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4743
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4744
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4745
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4746
 
4747
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4748
 
4749
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4750
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4751
 
4752
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4753
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4754
      a minimal value of perl.
4755
 
4756
      Removed excessive require statements.
4757
 
4758
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4759
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4760
      Include JATS specific files for
4761
        1) Windows
4762
        2) Linux
4763
 
4764
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4765
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4766
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4767
      machines.
4768
 
4769
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4770
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4771
 
4772

4774
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4775
 
4776
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4777
      wrapper scripts.
4778
 
4779
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4780
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4781
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4834
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4835
  * New toolset and platform
4836
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4837
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4838
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4839
    this platform.
4840
 
4841
Minor changes:
4842
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4843
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4844
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4845
    work.
4846
 
4847
  * Jats utility: release
4848
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4849
    published to dpkg_archive.
4850
 
249 dpurdie 4851
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4852
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4853
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4854
    supported for ANT builds.
4855
 
4856
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4857
        releasemanager.releasename
4858
        releasemanager.projectname
4859
 
4860
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4861
    tagged data item of the form
4862
 
4863
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4864
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4865
 
4866
  * Mug File Generation
4867
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4868
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4869
 
4870
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4871
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4872
    required.
4873
 
4874
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4875
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4876
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4877
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4878
    the files in order to use them.
4879
 
4880
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4881
    locate the file.
4882
 
4883
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4884
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4885
 
4886
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4887
        * CSharp
4888
        * Properties
4889
        * WinRC
4890
 
4891
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4892
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4893
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4894
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4899
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4900
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4901
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4902
 
4903
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4904
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4905
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4906
 
4907
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4908
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4909
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4910
 
4911
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4912
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4913
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4914
 
4915
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4916
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4917
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4918
    correct.
4919
 
4920
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4921
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4922
 
4923
Minor changes:
4924
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4925
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4926
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4927
 
4928
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4929
    This will simplify new user setup.
4930
 
4931
  * All Unix Toolsets
4932
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4933
    on unix systems
4934
 
4935
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4936
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4937
    on some Solaris Machines.
4938
 
4939
  * JATS -version=<version>
4940
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4941
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4942

      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4950
 
4951
Minor changes:
4952
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4953
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4954
 
4955
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4956
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4959
      Does not work with LMOS
4960
 
4961
    * Readme.txt file
4962
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4963
 
4964
    * Misc Cleanup
4965
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4985
 
4986
  * JATS builds
4987
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4988
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4989
    mode.
4990
 
4991
  * JATS makefiles
4992
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
4993
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
4994
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
4995
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
4996
                            SetList directive.
4997

5006
 
5007
  * JATS buildfile processing
5008
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5009
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5010
    of JATS.
5011
 
5012
  * JATS save_build utility
5013
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
5014
    which may be reserved.

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
5042
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5043
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5044
 
5045
    * MOS Toolset
5046
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5047
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5048
 
5049
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

5096
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
5097
      that can handle spaces
5098
 
5099
    * MOS Compiler
5100
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5101
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5102
 
5103
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5104
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5105
      descpkg files to be copied.
5106
 
5107
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5108
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

233 dpurdie 5123
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5124
 
5125
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5126
      <project> field.
5127

5142
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5143
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5144
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5145
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5146
 
5147
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5148
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5149
 
5150
    * Jats wrapper
5151
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5152
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5157
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5158
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5159
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5160
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5161
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5162
 
5163
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5164
 
5165
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5166
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5167
 
5168
    * Running Jats
5169
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5170
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5171
      This may affect some windows developers.
5172
 
5173
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5174
      Future versions will generate an error.
5175
 
5176
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5177
 
5178
Minor changes:
5179
    * Perl Version Check
5180
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5181
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5182
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5183
 
5184
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5185
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5186
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5187
      build.
5188
 
5189
    * Jats Internals
5190
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5191
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5192
 
5193
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5194
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5195
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5196
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5197
      process.
5198
 
5199
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5200
      Only works under Windows.
5201
 
5202
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5203
 
5204
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5205
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5206
 
5207
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5208
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5209
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5210
 
5211
    * Jats eprog
5212
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5213
      directory.
5214
 
5215
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5216
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5217
      build metrics.
5218
 
5219

5221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5222
Major changes:
5223
 
5224
Minor changes:
5225
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5226
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5227
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5228
      automated build system. New options are:
5229
        -pname=Package_Name
5230
        -pversion=Package_Version
5231
 
5232
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5233
      transferring the package. New options are:
5234
        -test
5235
 
5236
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5237
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5238
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5239
 
5240
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5241
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5242
 
5243
    * Solaris Toolset
5244
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5245
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5246
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5251
Major changes:
5252
 
5253
Minor changes:
5254
    * WINCE toolsets
5255
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5256
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5257
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5258
      when header files cannot be found.
5259
 
5260
    * GenerateFiles directive
5261
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5262
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5263
      that are difficult to solve.
5264
 
5265
    * MakePerlModule directive
5266
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5267
      to the the module builder.
5268
 
5269
    * Jats Tool: label
5270
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5271
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5272
      -dirs=xxx options.
5273
 
5274
    * Jats Tool: release
5275
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5276
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5277
 
5278
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5279
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5280
 
5281
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5282
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5283
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5284
 
5285
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5332
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5333
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the

5341
Minor changes:
5342
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5343
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5344
 
5345
    * Makefile generation
5346
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5347
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5348
 
5349
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5350
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5351
 
5352
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5353
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5354

5357
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5358
 
5359
    * jats escrow utility
5360
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5361
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5362
 
5363
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5364
      inconsistent packages.
5365
 
5366
    * jats make help
5367
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5368
      available within the current build.
5369
 
5370
    * jats makefiles
5371
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5372
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5373
 
5374
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5375
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5376
 
5377
    * gcc toolset
5378
      SharedLibries.
5379
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5380
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5381
 
5382
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5383
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5384
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5385
 
5386
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5387
        New options:
5388
            --MultiScan
5389
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5390
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5391
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5399
Minor changes:
5400
    PackageLib directive
5401
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5402
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5403
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5404
 
5405
    MakefileGenerate directive
5406
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5407
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5408
 
5409
    Multiple Parent detection
5410
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5411
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5412
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5413
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5414
 
5415
    Solaris Toolset
5416
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5417
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5418
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5419
    link.
5420
 
5421
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5422
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5423
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5424
 
5425
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5426
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5427
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5428
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5433
Major changes:
5434
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5435
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5436
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5437
 
5438
    Summary of changes:
5439
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5440
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5441
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5442
          flexibility.
5443
 
5444
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5445
 
5446
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5447
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5448
          interface directory and associated build information.
5449
 
5450
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5451
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5452
          than one second.
5453
 
5454
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5455
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5456
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5457
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5458
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5459
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5460
 
5461
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5462
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5463
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5464
 
5465
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5466
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5467
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5468
          building them.
5469
 
5470
        - Detection of build file changes
5471
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5472
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5473
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5474
 
5475
        - Quieter make output
5476
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5477
 
5478
 
5479
Minor changes:
5480
    MakeAnt Directive
5481
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5482
 
5483
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5484
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5485
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5486
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5487
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5488
 
5489
    CSHARP toolset
5490
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5491

5501
    MakeAnt
5502
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5503
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5504
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5505
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5506

        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5520
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5521
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5522
 
5523
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5524
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5525
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5526
        package image being created.

5546
 
5547
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5548
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5549
 
5550
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5551
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5552
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5553
 
5554
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5555
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5556
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5557

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5586
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5587
 
5588
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5589
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5590
      last.
5591
 
5592
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5593
 
5594
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5595
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5596
 
5597
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5598
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5599
 
5600
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5601
 
5602
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5603
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5604
 
5605
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5606
 
5607
 
5608
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5609

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5633
Major changes:
5634
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5635
 
5636
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5637
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5638
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5639
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5640
      path.
5641
 
5642
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5643
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5644
      reproducible.
5645
 
5646
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5647
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5648
 
5649
      There are several aspects to the change
5650
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5651
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5652
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5653
 
5654
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5655
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5656
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5657
          controlled separately.
5658
 
5659
Minor changes:
5660
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5661
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5662
        Remove duplicates
5663
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5664

Minor changes:
5671
    * Makefile sanity test
5672
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5673
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5674
 
5675
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5676
      x86 machine.
5677
 
5678
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5679
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

5683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5684
Major changes:
5685
    * RunTest directive
5686
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5687
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5688
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5689
 
5690
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5691
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5692
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5693
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5694
 
5695
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5696
        builder within the current toolset.
5697
 
5698
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5699
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5700
 
5701
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5702
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5703
      containing the RunTest directive.
5704
 
5705
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5706
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5707
 
5708
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5709
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5710
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5711
 
5712
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5713
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5714
                            P or D suffix.
5715
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5716
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5717
 
5718
Minor changes:
5719
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5720
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5721
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5722
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5723
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5724
 
5725
    * Save Build Utility
5726
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5727
      used in a ripple build.
5728
 
5729
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5730
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5731
 
5732
    * Release Utility
5733
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5734
      when an error is encountered.
5735
 
5736
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5737
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5738
 
5739
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5740
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5741
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5742
 
5743
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5744
      before the makefiles are created.
5745
 
5746
    * TestProg directive
5747
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5748
 
5749
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5750
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5751

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5755
Major changes:
5756
    * New build target
5757
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5758
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5759
 
5760
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5761
            DEVLINUX
5762
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5763
 
5764
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5765
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5766
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5767
 
5768
Minor changes:
5769
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5770
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5771
 
5772
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5773
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5774
 
5775
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5776
      and .cs files.
5777
 
5778
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5779
      thing.
5780
 
5781
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5782
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5783
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5784
      were it places temp files.
5785
 
5786
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5787
      interaction with other builds.
5788
 
5789
    * Release utility command
5790
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5791
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5792
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Minor changes:
5843
  * WINCE Support
5844
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5845
 
5846
  * Removed the following targets
5847
        TP5600
5848
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5849
        TP5600_EMU
5850
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5851

5853
  * Deployment
5854
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5855
 
5856
  * build.pl
5857
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5858
 
5859
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5860
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5861
 
5862
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5863
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5864
    build.
5865
 
5866
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5867
 
5868
  * Tool: escrow
5869
     New features
5870
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5871
     are not in the SBOM.
5872
 
5873
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5874
 
5875
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5879
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5880
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5881
Major changes:
5882
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5883
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5884
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5885
 
5886
  * GenerateFiles
5887
    Added the options:
5888
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5889
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5890
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5891
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5892
 
5893
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5894
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5895
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5896
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5897
                                  required.
5898
 
5899
 
5900
Minor changes:
5901
  * GenerateFile directive
5902
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5903
 
5904
  * GCC Toolset
5905
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5906
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5907
    be rebuilt.
5908
 
5909
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5910
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5911
 
5912
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5913
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5914
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5915
Major changes:
5916
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5917
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5918
    environment variables.
5919
 
5920
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5921
            moved.
5922
 
5923
    This will affect users that:
5924
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5925
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5926
 
5927
        2) Use the ABT system
5928
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5929
           the required configuration
5930
 
5931
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5932
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5933
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5934
    Windows
5935
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5936
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5937
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5938
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5939
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5940
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5941
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5942
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5943
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5944
 
5945
 
5946
  * New build platforms
5947
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5948
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5949
 
5950
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5951
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5952
 
5953
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5954
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5955
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5956
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5957
 
5958
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5959
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5960
    release.
5961
 
5962
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5963
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5964
 
5965
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5966
    need to be converted.
5967
 
5968
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5969
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5970
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5971
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5972
    used for different targets platforms.
5973
 
5974
  * Sandbox support
5975
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5976
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5977
 
5978
    New command: jats sandbox ...

5984
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5986
Major changes:
5987
  * MakeAnt directive
5988
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5989
 
5990
    New options
5991
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5992
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
5993
 
5994
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
5995
    run_unit_tests phase.
5996
 
5997
  * Sandbox support
5998
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5999
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6000
 
6001
Minor changes:
6002
  * jats build
6003
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6004
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6005
 
6006
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6007
 
6008
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6009
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6010
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6011
 
6012
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6013
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6014
 
6015
  * JATS.BAT
6016
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6017
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6018
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6019
 
6020
  * jats label
6021
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6022
 
6023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6024
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6026
Major changes:
6027
  * New build platform:
6028
        LMOS_TP5600
6029
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6030
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6031
 
6032
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6033
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6034
    describe the group of platforms.
6035
 
6036
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6037
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6038
    build these targets.
6039
 
6040
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6041
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6042
 
6043
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6044
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6045
 
6046
  * New build platform: WINCE
6047
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6048
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6049
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6050
 
6051
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6052
            WCEIT3000
6053
            WCEPA961
6054
            WCEPA962

6063
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6064
 
6065
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6066
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6067
    that contain packaging directives.
6068
 
6069
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6070
    very unusual configurations.
6071
 
6072
Minor changes:
6073
  * Directive: PackageFile
6074
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6075
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6076
    an '='.
6077
 
6078
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6079
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6080
 
6081
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6082
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6083
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6084
 
6085
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6086
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6087

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6089
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6090
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6091
Major changes:
6092
 
6093
  * JATS release command
6094
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6095
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6096
 
6097
    Rules are:
6098
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6099
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6100
                            File will be placed on a branch
6101
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6102
                            New directory will branch
6103
 
6104
Minor changes:
6105
  * JATS release command
6106
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6107
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6108
 
6109
  * JATS label command
6110
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6111
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6112
 
6113
  * JATS make
6114
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6115
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6116
    was re-packaged.
6117
 
6118
  * JATS escrow
6119
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6120
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6121
 
6122
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6123
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6124
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6125
 
6126
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6127
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6128
    interface directory.
6129
 
6130
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6131
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6132
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6133
    directory as seen by the package.
6134
 
6135
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6136
 
6137
  * JAVA 6
6138
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6139
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6140
 
6141
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6142
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6143
 
6144
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6145
 
6146
  * Jats command: vars
6147
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6148
    These indicate potential problems.
6149
 
6150
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6151
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6153
Major changes:
6154
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6155
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6156
    libarry is also created.
6157
 
6158
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6159
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6160
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6161
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6162
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6163
    information contained within the file.
6164
 
6165
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6166
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6167
 
6168
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6169
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6170
 
6171
  * Building Perl Modules
6172
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6173
    documentation on the build machine.
6174
 
6175
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6176
 
6177
Minor changes:
6178
  * jats create_dpkg
6179
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6180
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6181
 
6182
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6183
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6185
Major changes:
6186
  * JATS JAVA build target
6187
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6188
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6189
 
6190
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6191
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6192
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6193
    is then picked up as the default version.
6194
 
6195
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6196
    build.pl file.
6197
 
6198
Minor changes:
6199
  * jats release
6200
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6201
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6202
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6203
 
6204
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6205
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6206
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6207
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6208
    the name of the view.
6209
 
6210
  * GenerateFiles directive
6211
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6212
 
6213
  * MOS Toolset
6214
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6215
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6216
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6217
 
6218
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6219
 
6220
 
6221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6222
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6224
Major changes:
6225
 
6226
Minor changes:
6227
  * JATS environment
6228
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6229
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6230
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6231
 
6232
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6233
 
6234
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6235
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6236
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6237
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6238
    to be packaged.
6239
 
6240
  * Generated makefiles
6241
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6242
 
6243
  * Generating MOS THX files
6244
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6245
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6246
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6247
 
6248
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6249
 
6250
  * JATS release
6251
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6252
 
6253
  * JATS extract
6254
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6255
 
6256
  * JATS Toolset
6257
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6258
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6259
 
6260

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6262
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6264
Major changes:
6265
 
6266
Minor changes:
6267
  * jats label
6268
    Added a -vob=name option
6269
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6270
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6271
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6272
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6273
 
6274
    Added a -user=name option
6275
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6276
    label to the named user.
6277
 
6278
  * jats release
6279
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6280
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6281
 
6282
  * JATS build.pl
6283
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6284
    ie:
6285
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6286

6289
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6290
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6291
Major changes:
6292
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6293
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6294
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6295
    the makefile internals. ie:
6296
        --Var(BuildName)
6297
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6298
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6299
 
6300
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6301
 
6302
  * GenerateFiles
6303
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6304
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6305
 
6306
  * BuildPlatforms
6307
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6308
 
6309
Minor changes:
6310
  * GCC Toolset
6311
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6312
 
6313
Internal changes:
6314
  * GenerateFiles
6315
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6316
 
6317
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6318
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6319
 
6320
 
6321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6322
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6324
Major changes:
6325
  * Caching JATS
6326
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6327
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6328
 
6329
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6330
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6331
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6332
 
6333
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6334
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6335
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6336
 
6337
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6338
 
6339
Minor changes:
6340
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6341
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6342
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6343
 
6344
  * jats build
6345
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6346
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6347
    processed by the build.
6348
 
6349
  * jats build
6350
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6351
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6352
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6353
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6354
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6355
 
6356
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6357
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6358
    Path is not specified.
6359
 
6360
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6361
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6362
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6363
        --Dir=$Pinc
6364
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6365
 
6366
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6367
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6368
    Windows platform.
6369
 
6370
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6371
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6372
            by 'purecov.
6373
 
6374
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6375
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6376
 
6377
        - OPTIONS=purify
6378
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6379
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6380
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6381

6384
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6386
Major changes:
6387
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6388
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6389
    Example:
6390
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6391
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6392
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6393
 
6394
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6395
    been determined.
6396
 
6397
Minor changes:
6398
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6399
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6400
    located at build-time.
6401
 
6402
  * Unix based systems
6403
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6404
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6405
 
6406
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6407
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6408
    driver being built.
6409
 
6410
 
6411

6416
 
6417
Minor changes:
6418
  * jats_rewrite tool
6419
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6420
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6421
 
6422
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6423
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6424
 
6425
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6426
    dependancy information within a package.
6427
 
6428
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6429
    messages.
6430
 
6431
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6432
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6433
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6434
Major changes:
6435
  * makefile.pl directives
6436
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6437
 
6438
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6439
 
6440
    GenerateFiles.
6441
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6442
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6443
                      be run on every invocation.
6444
 
6445
 
6446
Minor changes:
6447
  * Added the jats version command
6448
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6449
 
6450
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6451
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6452
  There are two mechanism:
6453
 
6454
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6455
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6456
 
6457
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6458
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6459
 
6460
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6461
  default.
6462
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6463
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6464

    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6471
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6472
    It is based on machine type.
6473
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6474
 
6475
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6476
 
6477
Minor changes:
6478
  * Perl DBI interface
6479
    Removed the message showing database connection
6480
 
6481
  * JATS internal library
6482
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6483
 
6484

6485
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6487
Major changes:
6488
  * GCC Toolset
6489
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6490
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6491
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6492
 
6493
  * Added platforms
6494
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6495
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6496
    TP5600_EMU
6497
 
6498
Minor changes:
6499
  * descpkg file reader
6500
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6501
    field separator.
6502
 
6503
  * JATS eprog command
6504
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6505
 
6506
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6507
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6508
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6509
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6510
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6511
 
6512
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6513
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6514
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6515
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6516
 
6517
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6518
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
6519

6530
 
6531
 
6532
Minor changes:
6533
  * JATS wrapper script
6534
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6535
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6536
    to setup links to system programs.
6537
 
6538

6556
Major changes:
6557
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6558
    Added CompileOptions
6559
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6560
        no_misalign         - Default
6561
 
6562
        multithread         - Default
6563
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6564

  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6566
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6567
 
6568

6577
 
6578
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6579
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6580
    Theses are:
6581
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6582
        SOLARIS_AMD
6583
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6584
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6585
 
6586
Minor changes:
6587
  * AT3232 toolset
6588
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6597
Major changes:
6598
 
6599
Minor changes:
6600
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6601
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6602
    messages
6603
 
6604
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6605
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6606
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6607
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6608
 
6609
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6610
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6611
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6612
Major changes:
6613
 
6614
Minor changes:
6615
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6616
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6617
    library without creating the body of the library:
6618
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6619
 
6620
 
6621
  * MOS toolsets
6622
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6623
    library without creating the body of the library:
6624
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6625
 
6626
  * JATS BIN directories
6627
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6628
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6629
    using autoconf.
6630
 
6631
  * Generate directive
6632
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6633
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6634
 
6635
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6636
 
6637
 
6638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6639
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6640
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6641
Major changes:
6642
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6643
    Initial release.
6644
 
6645
Minor changes:
6646
 
6647
 
6648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6649
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6651
Major changes:
6652
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6653
    Initial release.
6654
 
6655
  * Packaging directives
6656
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6657
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6658
 
6659
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6660
        SOLARIS
6661
        WIN32
6662
 
6663
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6664
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6665
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6666
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6667
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6668
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6669
 
6670
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6671
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6672
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6673
 
6674
 
6675
Minor changes:
6676
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6677
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6678
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6679
 
6680
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6681
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6682
    location
6683
 
6684
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6685
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6686
 
6687
  * Utility genrc
6688
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6689
 
6690
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6691
    Added option: -new
6692
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6693
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6694
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6695
 
6696
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6697
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6698
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6699
 
6700
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6701
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6702
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6703
 
6704
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6705
   features - in a uniform manner.
6706
 
6707
 
6708
Internal Changes:
6709
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6710
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6711
 
6712
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6713
        1) Platform information available at build time
6714
        2) Dynamic platform names
6715
 
6716
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6717
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6718
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6719
 
6720
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6721
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6722
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6723
 
6724
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6725
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6726
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6727
    needed.
6728
 
6729
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6730
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6731
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6732
    files from all of these.
6733

6735
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6737
Major changes:
6738
 
6739
Minor changes:
6740
  * WinCE toolset
6741
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6742
 
6743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6744
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6746
Major changes:
6747
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6748
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6749
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6750
 
6751
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6752
 
6753
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6754
    the operations.
6755
 
6756
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6757
 
6758
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6759
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6760
 
6761
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6762
 
6763
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6764
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6765
 
6766
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6767
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6768
    Extended the built-in help
6769
    Added useful error messages
6770
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6771
 
6772
  * WinCE toolset
6773
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6774
 
6775
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6776
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6777
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6778
 
6779
Minor changes:
6780
  * JATS wrapper script
6781
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6782
    the command line.
6783
 
6784
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6785
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6786
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6787
 
6788
Internal Changes:
6789
  * Common Error Reporting
6790
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6791
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6792
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6793
    level.
6794
 
6795
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6796
    displayed.
6797
 
6798
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6799
 
6800
  * Added JatsSystem module
6801
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6803
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

Major changes:
6806
 
6807
Minor changes:
6808
  * BR Compiler toolset
6809
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6810
    .def files to include other files.
6811
 
6812
  * IAR toolset
6813
    Added AT7272 support
6814
 
6815
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6816
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6817
 
6818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6819
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6821
Major changes:
6822
 
6823
Minor changes:
6824
  * BR Compiler toolset
6825
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6826
    use.
6827
 
6828
 
6829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6830
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6832
Major changes:
6833
 
6834
Minor changes:
6835
  * Mictotec toolset
6836
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6837
    builds.
6838
 
6839
  * JATS Core
6840
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6841
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6842
    behaviour.
6843
 
6844
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6845
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6847
Major changes:
6848
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6849
    Deployment package will be affected.
6850
 
6851
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6852
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6853
 
6854
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6855
 
6856
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6857
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6858
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6859
    packages.
6860
 
6861
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6862
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6863
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6864
 
6865
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6866
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6867
 
6868
Minor changes:
6869
  * SubDir directive
6870
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6871
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6872
 
6873
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6874
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6875
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6876
    of the file usage.
6877
 
6878
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6879
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6880
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6881
 
6882
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6883
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6884
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6885
 
6886
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6887
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6888
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6889
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6890
 
6891
 
6892
Internal Changes:
6893
  * Code refactor
6894
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6895
 
6896
  * Deployment utilities
6897
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6898
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6899
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6900
    the module can locate the file.
6901
 
6902
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6903
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6904
 
6905
  * JATS core
6906
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6907
 
6908
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6909
 
6910
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6911
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6912
    through the use of environment variables.
6913
 
6914
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6915
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6916
 
6917
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6918
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6919
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6920
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6921
 
6922
  * Make environment
6923
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6924
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6925

6928
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6929
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6930
Major changes:
6931
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6932
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6933
 
6934
 
6935
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6936
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6938
 
6939
Not Released.
6940
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6941
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6942
 
6943
 
6944
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6945
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6946
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6947
Major changes:
6948
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6949
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6950
    radically replaced.
6951
 
6952
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6953
    Usage:
6954
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6955
 
6956
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6957
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6958
    this solution:
6959
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6960
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6961
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6962
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6963
 
6964
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6965
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6966
    order to work.
6967
 
6968
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6969
    reduced functionality.
6970
 
6971
 
6972
Minor changes:
6973
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6974
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6975
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6976
 
6977
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6978
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6979
    within the makefiles.
6980
        Options:
6981
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6982
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6983
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6984
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6985
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6986
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6987
        Useage:
6988
 
6989
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6990
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6991
 
6992
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
6993
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
6994
    is not in the current directory.
6995
 
6996
  * Jats Command: ant'
6997
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
6998
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
6999
 
7000
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7001
 
7002
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7003
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7004
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7005
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7006
 
7007
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7008
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7009
    Thus
7010
 
7011
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7012
 
7013
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7014
 
7015
 
7016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7017
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7019
Major changes:
7020
 
7021
Minor changes:
7022
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7023
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7024
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7025
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7026
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7027
 
7028
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7029
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7030
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7031
 
7032
Internal changes:
7033
  * JATS toolsets
7034
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7035
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7036
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7037
 
7038
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7039
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7040
 
7041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7042
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7044
Major changes:
7045
  * Jats command: etool
7046
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7047
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7048
 
7049
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7050
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7051
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7052
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7053
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7054
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7055
 
7056
Minor changes:
7057
 
7058
 
7059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7060
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7062
Major changes:
7063
  * JATS environment variables
7064
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7065
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7066
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7067
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7068
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7069
 
7070
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7071
              Remote repository
7072
 
7073
    Added GBE_DPLY
7074
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7075
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7076
 
7077
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7078
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7079
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7080
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7081
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7082
 
7083
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7084
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7085
 
7086
 
7087
Minor changes:
7088
  * JATS utility: build
7089
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7090
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7091
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7092
 
7093
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7094
    Ensure label is not locked
7095
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7096
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7097
 
7098
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7099
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7100
    to a specific type of build.
7101
 
7102
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7103
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7104
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7105
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7106
 
7107
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7108
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7109
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7110
 
7111
  * JATS utility: release
7112
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7113
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7114
 
7115
  * JATS utility: label
7116
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7117
    when it is being created.
7118
 
7119
Internal Changes
7120
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7121
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7122
 
7123
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7124
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7125
 
7126
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7127
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7128
    different results.
7129
 
7130
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7131
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7132
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7133
 
7134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7135
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7137
Major changes:
7138
 
7139
  * MCR toolset
7140
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7141
 
7142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7143
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7144
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7145
Major changes:
7146
  * WIN32 utilities
7147
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7148
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7149
 
7150
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7151
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7152
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7153
 
7154
Minor changes:
7155
  * BuildVersion
7156
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7157
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7158
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7159
 
7160
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7161
 
7162
  * Unix Builds
7163
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7164
    library or a shared library.
7165
 
7166
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7167
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7168
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7169
    start with 'lib'.
7170
 
7171
  * BuildPkgArchive
7172
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7173
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7174
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7175
 
7176
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7177
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7179
Major changes:
7180
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7181
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7182
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7183
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7184
    being manually maintained.
7185
 
7186
 
7187
Minor changes:
7188
  * MakeAnt directive
7189
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7190
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7191
    supports ANT builds.
7192
 
7193
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7194
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7195
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7196
 
7197
  * Label utility
7198
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7199
    files to be labeled.
7200
 
7201
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7202
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7203
    on Solaris.
7204
 
7205
  * Generated makefiles
7206
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7207
    nothing.
7208
 
7209
  * MOS Toolset
7210
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7211
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7212
    modules.
7213
 
7214
  * Utility: gen_cots
7215
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7216
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7217
 
7218
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7219
 
7220
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7221
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7222
 
7223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7224
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7226
Major changes:
7227
  None
7228
 
7229
Minor changes:
7230
  * DEVI addressed
7231
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7232
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7233
 
7234
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7235
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7236
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7237
 
7238
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7239
 
7240
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7241
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7242
 
7243
  * RunTest directive
7244
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7245
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7246
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7247
 
7248
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7249
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7250
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7251
    packaged under JATS
7252
 
7253
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7254
          supported within JATS.
7255
 
7256
  * Jats utility wrapper
7257
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7258
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7259
 
7260
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7261
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7262
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7263
 
7264
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7265
    Eg: jats ant
7266
 
7267
  * Jats utility wrapper
7268
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7269
 
5710 dpurdie 7270
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7271
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7272
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7273
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7274
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7275
 
5710 dpurdie 7276
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7277
    expect a build.pl file.
7278
 
7279
  * Jats utility wrapper
7280
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7281
 
7282
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7283
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7284
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7285
 
7286
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7287
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7288
 
7289
  * Build files
7290
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7291
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7292

7295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7296
Major changes:
7297
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7298
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7299
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7300
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7301
 
7302
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7303
 
7304
Minor changes:
7305
  * None
7306
 
7307
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7308
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7310
Major changes:
7311
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7312
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7313
    ie:
7314
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7315
 
7316
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7317
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7318
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7319
    environments are compatible.
7320
 
7321
 
7322
Minor changes:
7323
  * BuildName option
7324
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7325
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7326
 
7327
  * jats.bat
7328
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7329
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7330
 
7331
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7332
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7334
Major changes:
7335
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7336
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7337
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7338
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7339
 
7340
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7341
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7342
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7343
 
7344
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7345
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7346
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7347
 
7348
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7349
    transferred.
7350
 
7351
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7352
    See notes below.
7353
 
7354
  * WIN32 toolset
7355
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7356
    correctly.
7357
 
7358
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7359
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7360
 
7361
  * BuildVersion
7362
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7363
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7364
    other langauges as needed.
7365
 
7366
 
7367
Minor changes:
7368
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7369
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7370
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7371
    version strings.
7372
 
7373
  * GenerateFiles directive
7374
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7375
    package or an imported package.
7376
 
7377
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7378
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7379
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7380
 
7381
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7382
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7383
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7384
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7385
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7386
 
7387
Internal Changes
7388
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7389
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7390
    of utilities.
7391
 
7392
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7393
    functions.
7394
 
7395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7396
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7398
Major changes:
7399
  * Generated makefiles
7400
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7401
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7402
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7403
 
7404
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7405
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7406
    incorrectly processing:
7407
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7408
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7409
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7410
    confused.
7411
 
7412
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7413
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7414
    The construct
7415
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7416
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7417
    then it works.
7418
 
7419
  * MakeAnt directive
7420
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7421
 
7422
    This option has the following effects
7423
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7424
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7425
 
7426
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7427
           early - in the generated files phase.
7428
 
7429
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7430
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7431
 
7432
 
7433
Minor changes:
7434
  * JATS post-installation script
7435
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7436
 
7437
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7438
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7439
    windows.
7440
 
7441
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7442
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7443
 
7444
  * Jats wrapper script
7445
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7446
        1) Contain spaces
7447
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7448
 
7449
  * Toolset
7450
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7451
 
7452
  * JAVA toolset
7453
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7454
    directive:
7455
 
7456
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7457
 
7458
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7459
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7460
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7461
 
7462
  * GCC Toolset
7463
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7464
 
7465
  * Makefile generation
7466
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7467
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7468
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7469
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7470
    package could not be used.
7471
 
7472
  * Unit Tests
7473
    The following environment variables are set:
7474
 
7475
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7476
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7477
 
7478
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7479
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7480
 
7481
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7482
 
7483
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7484
 
7485
 
7486
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7487
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7488
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7489
Major changes:
7490
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7491
 
7492
    Special features of this toolset.
7493
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7494
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7495
       incorporated within the target image.
7496
 
7497
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7498
       --Set=Name=Value
7499
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7500
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7501
 
7502
       --Ref=name
7503
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7504
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7505
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7506
                will be taken from the build version number.
7507
 
7508
Minor changes:
7509
  * MOS Toolset
7510
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7511
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7512
    packaged.
7513
 
7514
  * Src directive
7515
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7516
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7517
    specifier.
7518
 
7519
  * WIN32 runtime support
7520
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7521
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7522
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7523
 
7524
Internal:
7525
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7526
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7527
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7528
 
7529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7530
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7532
Major changes:
7533
    * BuildAlias directive
7534
      Added options.
7535
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7536
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7537
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7538
                          targets.
7539
      Eg:
7540
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7541
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7542
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7543
 
7544
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7545
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7546
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7547
 
7548
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7549
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7550
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7551
 
7552
 
7553
Minor changes:
7554
  * Label utility
7555
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7556
    build.pl file
7557
 
7558
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7559
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7560
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7561
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7562
    --FilterIn option.
7563
 
7564
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7565
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7566
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7567
 
7568
  * Location of descpkg file
7569
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7570
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7571
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7572
 
7573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7574
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7576
Major changes:
7577
  * RunTest directive
7578
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7579
    Additional options
7580
      --CopyIn=file
7581
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7582
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7583
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7584
        the test area.
7585
 
7586
    Additional operations
7587
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7588
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7589
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7590
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7591
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7592
    Allows flags:
7593
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7594
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7595
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7596
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7597
 
7598
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7599
    existence is tested.
7600
 
7601
  * Packaging Directives
7602
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7603
    such as LMOS.
7604
 
7605
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7606
 
7607
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7608
 
7609
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7610
 
7611
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7612
 
7613
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7614
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7615
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7616
 
7617
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7618
 
7619
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7620
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7621
 
7622
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7623
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7624
 
7625
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7626
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7627
 
7628
Minor changes:
7629
  * Script directive
7630
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7631
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7632
 
7633
  * JATS environment
7634
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7635
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7636
    the JATS wrapper script.
7637
 
7638
  * Label utility
7639
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7640
    There are three modes of operation:
7641
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7642
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7643
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7644
 
7645
 
7646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7647
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7649
Major changes:
7650
 
7651
Minor changes:
7652
  * label utility
7653
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7654
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7655
 
7656
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7657
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7658
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7659
      --ProgLoader=name
7660
 
7661
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7662
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7663
    Options to do this are:
7664
        --TreeDir=name
7665
        --FilterOut=regexp
7666
        --FilterIn=regexp
7667
        --StripDir
7668
 
7669
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7670
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7671
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7672
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7673
 
7674
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7675
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7676
 
7677
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7678
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7679
 
7680
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7681
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7682
 
7683
 
7684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7685
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7687
Major changes:
7688
    * Make commands
7689
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7690
 
7691
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7692
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7693
 
7694
    * Label utility
7695
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7696
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7697
 
7698
Minor changes:
7699
    * Toolsets
7700
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7701
      variables and overrides.
7702
 
7703
      The make_init target is always run.
7704
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7705
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7706
 
7707
    * Deployment
7708
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7709
      with deployment operations.
7710
 
7711
    * Release utility
7712
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7713
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7714
      restricted by options within the build.
7715
 
7716
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7717
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7718
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7719
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7720
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7721
 
7722
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7723
      directives.
7724
 
7725
    * MakeProject directive
7726
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7727
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7728
 
7729
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7730
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7731
      is preserved.
7732
 
7733
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7734
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7735
      statements.
7736
 
7737
    * Mugfile generation
7738
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7739
      be placed in the target package.
7740
 
7741
 
7742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7743
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7744
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7745
Major changes:
7746
    * BuildVersion directive
7747
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7748
      number as well as a patch number.
7749
 
7750
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7751
      number.
7752
 
7753
Minor changes:
7754
    * AddFlags directives
7755
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7756
      duplicate flags being added.
7757
 
7758
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7759
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7760
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7761
 
7762
    * Mug File Generation
7763
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7764
 
7765
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7766
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7767
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7768
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7769
     directory.
7770
 
7771
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7772
     reproducible.
7773
 
7774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7775
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7776
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7777
Major changes:
7778
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7779
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7780
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7781
      longer a list of directories.
7782
 
7783
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7784
      done within the toolset.
7785
 
7786
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7787
 
7788
    * JATS environment variables
7789
      Redefined variable
7790
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7791
                          Previously was a list that included the
7792
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7793
 
7794
      New variable
7795
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7796
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7797
 
7798
 
7799
Minor changes:
7800
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7801
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7802
      target platforms to be extracted.
7803
 
7804
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7805
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7806
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7807
 
7808
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7809
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7810
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7811
 
7812
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7813
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7814
 
7815
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7816
      Support ANT based XML files
7817
 
7818
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7819
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7820
      structure.
7821
 
7822
    * makefile.pl's
7823
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7824
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7825
 
7826
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7827
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7828
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7829
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7830
 
7831
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7832
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7833
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7834
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7835
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7836
      -- Auto.
7837
 
7838
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7839
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7840
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7841
 
7842
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7843
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7844
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7845
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7846
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7847
 
7848
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7849
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7850
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7851
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7852
      installed on the machine.
7853
 
7854
    * WINCE Targets
7855
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7856
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7857
 
7858
 
7859
 
7860
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7861
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7863
Major changes:
7864
    * WIN32 platforms
7865
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7866
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7867
      and installed packages.
7868
 
7869
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7870
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7871
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7872
 
7873
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7874
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7875
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7876
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7877
      searched when looking for libraries.
7878
 
7879
Minor changes:
7880
    * GenerateFiles directive
7881
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7882
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7883
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7884
                          and drive letter
7885
 
7886
    * Src directive
7887
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7888
      directory of a package.
7889
 
7890
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7891
 
7892
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7893
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7894
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7895
 
7896
    * jats_rewrite utility
7897
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7898
 
7899
 
7900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7901
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7902
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7903
Major changes:
7904
    * SunWorks production builds
7905
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7906
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7907
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7908
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7909
      compiler documentation.
7910
 
7911
    * MOS Toolset
7912
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7913
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7914
 
7915
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7916
 
7917
Minor changes:
7918
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7919
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7920
      This should not affect current users.
7921
 
7922
    * Mugfile generation
7923
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7924
      specified.
7925
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7926
 
7927
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7928
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7929
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7930
Major changes:
7931
    MOS Toolset
7932
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7933
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7934
 
7935
Minor changes:
7936
    * Jats wrapper script
7937
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7938
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7939
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7940
 
7941
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7942
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7943
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7944
      may be suspect.
7945
 
7946
    * GenerateFiles directive
7947
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7948
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7949
 
7950
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7951
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7953
Major changes:
7954
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7955
      build.xml files.
7956
 
7957
Minor changes:
7958
    * WIN32 toolset.
7959
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7960
 
7961
    * MakeAnt
7962
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7963
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7964
 
7965
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7966
 
7967
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7968
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7969
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7970
 
7971
    * MakeAnt directive
7972
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7973
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7974
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7975
 
7976
      Recommended usage:
7977
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7978
 
7979
Internal Changes
7980
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7981

7984
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7986
Major changes:
7987
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7988
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7989
      files packaged into the release.
7990
 
7991
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
7995
 
7996
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
7997
      The recommended platform is:
7998
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
7999
 
8000
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8001
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8002
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8003
      components.
8004
 
8005
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

8009
 
8010
Minor changes:
8011
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8012
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8013
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8014
      by the package to be accessed.
8015
 
8016
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8017
      application or visual studio.
8018
 
8019
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8020
      and the JATS Core path.
8021
 
8022
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8023
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8024
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8025
 
8026
    * MOS Toolset
8027
      Add support for the TPT device
8028
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8029
 
8030
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8031
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8032
 
8033
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8034
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8035
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8036
 
8037
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8038
 
8039
Internal Changes
8040
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8041
      in jats.pl
8042
 
8043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8044
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8046
Major changes:
8047
    * JATS wrapper script
8048
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8049
 
8050
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8051
 
8052
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8053
 
8054
Minor changes:
8055
    * Deployment support
8056
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8057
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8058
 
8059
    * 'build'
8060
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8061
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8062
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8063
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8064
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8065
 
8066
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8067
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8068
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8069
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8070
                                      the link phase.
8071
 
8072
    * BuildPkgArchive
8073
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8074
      Previously these were ignored.
8075
      Minor code cleanup
8076
 
8077
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8078
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8079
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8080
 
8081
    * SOLARIS targets
8082
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8083
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8084
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8085
 
8086
    * MugFile generation
8087
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8088
      included in the final package.
8089
 
8090
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8091
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8092
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8093
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8094
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8095
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8096
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8097
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8098
 
8099
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8100
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8101
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8102
            --Option=(some_text)
8103
            --Option=[some_text]
8104
            --Option={some_text}
8105
 
8106
Internal Changes
8107
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8108
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8109
      code.
8110

Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8113
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8114
Major changes:
8115
    * JATS wrapper script
8116
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8117
 
8118
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8119
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8120
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8121
      other components.
8122
 
8123
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8124
 
8125
    * JATS
8126
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8127
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8128
 
8129
    * Build operations
8130
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8131
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8132
      packages.
8133
 
8134
    * Make operations
8135
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8136
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8137
 
8138
Minor changes:
8139
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8140
      deployment builds.
8141
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8142
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8143
 
8144
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8145
 
8146
    * build.pl
8147
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8148
        processed. Allows
8149
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8150
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8151
        production.
8152
 
8153
    * MOS toolset
8154
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8155
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8156
 
8157
    * create_dpkg utility
8158
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8159
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8160
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8161
      progress of the build.
8162
 
8163
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8164
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8165
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8166
      system.
8167
 
8168

8169
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8171
Major changes:
8172
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8173
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8174
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8175
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8176
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8177
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8178
 
8179
    * WCEX86A500 target
8180
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8181
 
8182
    * MOS Toolsets
8183
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8184
      the compiler.
8185
 
8186
    * RunTest directive
8187
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8188
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8189
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8190
 
8191
Minor changes:
8192
    * JATS BUILD
8193
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8194
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8195
      highlight bad settings.
8196
 
8197
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8198
      access to extensions.
8199
 
8200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8201
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8203

8204
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8205
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8206
 
8207
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8208
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8209
      under unix.
8210
 
8211
Minor changes:
8212
    * label utility
8213
      Added options to:
8214
        o Delete a label
8215
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8216
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8217
 
8218
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8219
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8220
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8221
      Package directives.
8222
 
8223
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8224
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8225
      system.
8226
 
8227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8228
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8230
Major changes:
8231
    * MOS Toolset
8232
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8233
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8234
 
8235
    * WIN32 Toolset
8236
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8237
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8238
      list.
8239
 
8240
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8241
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8242
 
8243
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8244
 
8245
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8246
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8247
 
8248
 
8249
Minor changes:
8250
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8251
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8252
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8253
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8254
      corrected.
8255
 
8256
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8257
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8258
 
8259
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8260
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8261
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8262
 
8263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8264
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8265
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8266
Major changes:
8267
    * WIN32 Toolset
8268
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8269
      use with multithreaded modes.
8270
 
8271
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8272
      --OnlyProd.
8273
 
8274
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8275
      within the makefile.pl.
8276
 
8277
Minor changes:
8278
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8279
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8280
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8281
      platforms.
8282
 
8283
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8284
 
8285
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8286
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8287
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8288
Major changes:
8289
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8290
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8291
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8292
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8293
 
8294
    * Preliminary Support
8295
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8296
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8297
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8298
 
8299
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8300
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8301
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8302
 
8303
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8304
      building. The default build will build both.
8305
 
8306
Minor changes:
8307
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8308
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8309
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8310
 
8311
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8312
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8313
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8314
 
8315
 
8316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8317
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8319
Major changes:
8320
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8321
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8322
      or all.
8323
 
8324
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8325
      the library or program.
8326
 
8327
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8328
 
8329
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8330
      library or any debug files.
8331
 
8332
    * GenerateFiles
8333
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8334
 
8335
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8336
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8337
 
8338
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8339
              The filename of the prereq file
8340
 
8341
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8342
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8343
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8344
 
8345
 
8346
Minor changes:
8347
    * create_dpkg utility
8348
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8349
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8350
      the package has been altered.
8351

8355
Major changes:
8356
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8357
      This is a WINCE target
8358
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8359
 
8360
    * New toolset
8361
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8362
 
8363
    * Modified toolset
8364
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8365
 
8366
    * Modified toolset
8367
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8368
 
8369
Minor changes:
8370
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8371
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8372
 
8373
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8374
 
8375
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8376
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8377
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8378
 
8379
      The change allows the construct
8380
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8381
      to be replaced by the simpler
8382
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8383
 
8384
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8385
      specified name.    
8386

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8406
Major changes:
8407
    * The "package.pl" file.
8408
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8409
      package name being taken from the build name
8410
 
8411
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8412
      package Build Name.
8413
 
8414
Minor changes:
8415
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
8425
      Correct two common situations
8426
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8427
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8428
           ansi, but is often done.
8429
 
8430
    * GCC toolset
8431
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8432
      being created in the correct place.
8433
 
8434
    * jats "label"
8435
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8436
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8437
 
8438
 
8439

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8442
Major changes:
8443
 
8444
Minor changes:
8445
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8446
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8447
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8448
 
8449
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8450
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8451
 
8452
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8453
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the

8459
Major changes:
8460
    * Support for solaris_i386
8461
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8462
      binaries for this target.
8463
 
8464
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8465
      with the GCC compiler.
8466
 
8467
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8468
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8469
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8470
 
8471
Minor changes:
8472
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8473
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8474
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8475
 
8476
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8477

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8482
Major changes:
8483
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8484
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8485
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8486
 
8487
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8488
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8489
 
8490
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8491
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8492
      with either " or ' characters.
8493
 
8494
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8495

8501
 
8502
    * Jats wrapper
8503
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8504
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8505
      further commands.
8506
 
8507
Minor changes:
8508
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8509
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8510
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8511
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8512
 
8513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8514
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8516
Major changes:
8517
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8518
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8519
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8520
 
8521
      These options operation affect all components within the
8522
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8523
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8524
 
8525
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8526
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8527
 
8528
Minor changes:
8529
 
8530
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8531
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8532
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8533
Major changes:
8534
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8535
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8536
 
8537
Minor changes:
8538
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8539
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8540
 
8541
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8542
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8543
 
8544
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8545
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8546
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8547
Major changes:
8548
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8549
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8550
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8551
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8552
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8553
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8554
      installed.
8555
 
8556
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8557
      libraries that depend on each other.
8558
 
8559
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8560
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8561
 
8562
Minor changes:
8563
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8564
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8565
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8566
 
8567
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8568
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8569
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8570
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8571
 
8572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8573
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8575
Major changes:
8576
 
8577
Minor changes:
8578
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8579
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8580
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8581
      file.
8582
 
8583
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8584
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8585
 
8586
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8587
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8588
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8589
 
8590
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8591
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8592
 
8593
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8594
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8595
 
8596
    * WinCE toolsets
8597
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8598
      compiler specific libraries.
8599
 
8600
    * SOLARIS toolset
8601
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8602
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8603
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8604
 
8605
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8606
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8607
      cleaned up.
8608
 
8609
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8610
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8611
 
8612
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8613
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8614
      with either " or ' characters.
8615
 
8616
 
8617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8618
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8619
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8620
Major changes:
8621
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8622
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8623
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8624
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8625
 
8626
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8627
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8628
 
8629
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8630
      user.
8631
 
8632
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8633
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8634
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8635
 
8636
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8637
      for the   -Gf option.
8638
 
8639
Minor changes:
8640
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8641
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8642
 
8643
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8644
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8645
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8646
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8647
 
8648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8649
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8651
Major changes:
8652
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8653
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8654
 
8655
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8656
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8657
      data addresses for the board.
8658
 
8659
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8660
 
8661
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8662
 
8663
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8664
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8665
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8666
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8667
         PackageFile
8668
 
8669
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8670
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8671
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8672
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8673
 
8674
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8675
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8676
      to be installed and packaged.
8677
 
8678
Minor changes:
8679
 
8680
    * cache_dpkg utility
8681
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8682
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8683
 
8684
    * label utility
8685
      New option -auto to create and label
8686
 
8687
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8688
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8689
 
8690
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8691
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8692
      directory. ie:
8693
 
8694
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8695
 
8696
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8697
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8698
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8699
 
8700
 
8701
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8702
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8703
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8704
Major changes:
8705
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8706
 
8707
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8708
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8709
 
8710
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8711
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8712
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8713
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8714
 
8715
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8716
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8717
      compilation.
8718
 
8719
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8720
 
8721
Minor changes:
8722
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8723
      one is being produced.
8724
 
8725
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8726
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8727
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8728
 
8729
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8730
 
8731
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8732
 
8733
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8734
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8735
 
8736
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8737
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8739
Major changes:
8740
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8741
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8742
 
8743
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8744
 
8745
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8746
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8747
      same directory
8748
 
8749
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8750
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8751
      documenattion.
8752
 
8753
Minor changes:
8754
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8755
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8756
 
8757
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8758
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8759
 
8760
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8761
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8762
 
8763
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8764
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8765
 
8766
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8767
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8768
      be exempt from this test.
8769
 
8770
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8771
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8772
 
8773
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8774
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8775
 
8776
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8777
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8778
      does.
8779
 
8780
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8781
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8782
 
8783
 
8784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8785
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8786
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8787
Major changes:
8788
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8789
 
8790
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8791
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8792
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8793
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8794
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8795
 
8796
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8797
      operations.
8798
 
8799
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8800
 
8801
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8802
 
8803
Minor changes
8804
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8805
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8806
 
8807
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8808
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8809
      directory is not added to the library path.
8810
 
8811
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8812
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8813
 
8814
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8815
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8816
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8817
 
8818
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8819
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8820
      specific flags.
8821
 
8822
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8823
 
8824
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8825
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8826
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8827
 
8828
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8829
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8830
      JATS.
8831
 
8832
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8833
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8834
 
8835
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8836
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8837
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8838
 
8839
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8840
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8841
 
8842
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8843
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8844
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8845
 
8846
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8847
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8848
 
8849
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8850
 
8851
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8852
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8853
 
8854
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8855
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8856
      objects.
8857
 
8858
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8859
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8860
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8861
      build defendants.
