848
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
849
 
850
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
851
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
852
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
853
      build errors.
854
 
855
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
856
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
857
 
858
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
859
      Shorthand for
860
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
861
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
862
 
863
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
864
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
865
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
866
      Examples: 
867
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
868
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
869
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
870
 
871
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
872
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
873
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
874
 
875
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
876
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
877
      build system.
878
 
879
Experimental:
880
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
881
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
882
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
888
 
889
Minor changes:
890
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
891
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
892
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
893
 
894

895
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
896
------------------------------------------------------------------------
897
 
898
Minor changes:
899
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
900
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
901
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
902
 
903
    * Build Files
904
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
905
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
906
 
907
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
908
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
909
 
910
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
911
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
912
 
913
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
914
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
915
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
916
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
917
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
918
 
919
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
920
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
921
     different architectures.
922
 
923
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
924
     are directed to one or more machines.
925
 
926
     Intended uses:
927
        Windows: Creating installers. 
928
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
929
 
930
       All: Specialized packaging.
931
 
932
    * Makefiles
933
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
934
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
935
      Eg:
936
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
937
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
938
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
939
      It could also have been written as:
940
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
941
      but NOT as:
942
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
943
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
944
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
945
 
946
    * Utility: sandbox
947
      Subcommand info 
948
        - Added option to test fingerprints
949
        - Display status in a column for easy reading

954
 
955
Minor changes:
956
    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
957
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
958
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
959
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
960
 
961
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
962
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
963
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
964
 
965
    * GenerateFiles directive
966
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
967

986
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
987
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
988
 
989
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
990
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
991
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
992
      machine may build the toolset.
993
 
994
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
995
      platform.

1013
      It is not used.
1014
 
1015

1016
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1017
 
1018
    * Utility: escrow
1019
      Added -skim option
1020
 
1021
    * Utility: sandbox
1022
      Many improvements:
1023
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
1024
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1025
 
1026
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1027
 
1028
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1029
        if an error is detected.
1030
 
1031
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1032
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1033
 
1034
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1035
        skipped during the build.
1036
 
1037
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1042
 
1043
Minor changes:
1044
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1045
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1046
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1047
 
1048
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
1049
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

1161
                             in the name
1162
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1163
 
1164
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1165
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1166
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1167
 
1168
    * Make operations uninstall, unpackage and clobber
1169
      Improved the deletion of files such that only files that exist will 
1170
      be logged as deleted.

1997
 
1998
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh

      This has been added to support auperaunx01 as a general developer machine
2188
      Currently there are no supported compilers for this machine. It is only
2189
      the JATS tool chain. It allows the processing of subversion related 
2190
      commands.

2288
 
2289
Minor changes:
2290
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2291
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2292
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2293
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2294
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2295
 
2296
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2297
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

2304
Minor changes:
2305
    * Utility: update_release
2306
      Added options:
2307
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2308
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2309
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2310
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2311
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2312
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2313
 
2314
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2315
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2316
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2317
 
2318
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2319
      Added missing LMOS aliases.
2320

2323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2324
Major changes:
2325
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2326
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2327
      intended to build deployed software.
2328
 
2329
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2330
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2331
 
2332
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2333
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2334
 
2335
Minor changes:
2336
    * Jats wrapper script
2337
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2338
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2339
      Subversion instance of the command.
2340
 
2341
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2342
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2343
 
2344
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2345
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2346
 
2347
    * Utility: jats upddep
2348
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2349
      file under windows.
2350
 
2351
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2352
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2353
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2354
 
2355
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2356
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2357
 
2358
    * GCC Toolchain
2359
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2375
Major changes:
2376
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2377
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2378
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2379
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2380
 
2381
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2382
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2390
      family
3559 dpurdie 2391
 
2392
Minor changes:
2393
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2394
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2395
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2396
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2397
      line.
2398
 
2399
    * Jats Configuration
2400
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2401
 
2402
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2403
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2404
      and Linux.
2405
 
2406
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2407
      correctly rippled.

2414
Minor changes:
2415
    * Jats Core
2416
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2417
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2418
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2419
 
2420
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2421
      Used only by the build daemons.
2422
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2423
 
2424
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2425
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2426
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2431
Major changes:
2432
 
2433
Minor changes:
2434
    * svnrelease utility
2435
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2436
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2437
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2438
 
2439
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2440
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2441
      the named tag.
2442
 
2443
    * svnrelease utility
2444
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2445
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2456
        covered by the makefile.
2457
 
2458
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2459
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2460
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2461
 
2462
    * ALL Toolsets
2463
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2464
 
2465
    * Utility vcsdiff
2466
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2467
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2468
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2476
    * Subversion Extraction
2477
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2478
      directory of the tag.
2479
 
2480
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2481
      repository.
2482
 
2483
    * Subversion Support
2484
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2485
      showing the user what to do.
2486
 
2487
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2488
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2489
      we have build support for this target.
2490
 
2491
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2492
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2493
 
2494
Internal:
2495
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2496
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2497
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2498
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

2514
Minor changes:
2515
    * Makefile generation
2516
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2517
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2518
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2519
      of warnings.
2520
 
2521
    * Makefile Generation
2522
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2531
Major changes:
2532
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2533
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2534
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2535
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2536
 
2537
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2538
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2539
      windows path scheme.
2540
 
2541
Minor changes:
2542
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2543
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2544
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2545
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2546
 
2547
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2548
        jats make clobber
2549
      This operates as before.
2550
 
2551
    * Utility: escrow
2552
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2553
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2554
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2555
 
2556
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2557
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2558
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2559
 
2560
    * Utility: svn : url
2561
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2562
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2563
 
2564
    * Utility: svn : import
2565
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2566
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.

      showing the user what to do.
2571
 
2572
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2573
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2574
      repositories.

2580
Minor changes:
2581
    * Jats build
2582
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2583
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2584
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2585
 
2586
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2587
      command, with a sandbox.

2613
                        The named branch must not exist
2614
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2615
                        The named branch must exist

2650
 
2651
Major changes:
2652
    * Jats Version Number
2653
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2671
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2672
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2673
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2674
 
2675
Minor changes:
2676
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2677
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2678
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2679
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2680
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2681
 
2682
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2683
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2684
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2685
 
2686
    * Linux support utilities
2687
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2688

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2694
Major changes:
2695
    * Subversion Repository location
2696
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2697
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2698
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2699
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2700
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2701
 
2702
Minor changes:
2703
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2704
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2705
 
2706
    * Utility: svnrelease
2707
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2708
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2709
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2710
 
2711
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2712
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2713
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2714
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2715
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2716
 
2717
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2718
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2719
 
2720
    * Utility: sandbox
2721
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2722
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2723
 
2724
      Subcommand: populate
2725
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2726
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2727
      sandbox.
2728
 
2729
    * Subversion Support
2730
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2731
      repository is not supported.
2732
 
2733
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2734
      a progress indication.
2735
 
2736
    * Jats Online Documentation
2737
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2738
      online documentation.
2739
 
2740
    * Generated makefiles
2741
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2791
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2792
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2793
 
2794
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 2795

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2818
Major changes:
2819
 
2820
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2821
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2822
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2823
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2824
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2825
 
2826
    * C# Toolchain
2827

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2839
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2840
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2841
 
2842
    * Utility ccrelease
2843
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2844
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2845
 
2846
    * Utility: svn
2847
      Improved package import processing.
2848
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2876
Major changes:
2877
 
2878
Minor changes:
2879
    * Command: jats clobber
2880
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2881
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2882
 
2883
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2884
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2885
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2886
 
2887
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2888
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2889
 
377 dpurdie 2890
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2891
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2892
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2893
 
2894
    * jats svnlabel
2895
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2896
 
2897
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2898
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2899
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2900
 
2901
    * Built Daemon support
2902
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2903
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2904

2907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2908
Major changes:
2909
    * GCC Toolset
2910
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2911
      New methodology is:
2912
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2913
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2914
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2915
        as the main binary.
2916
 
2917
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2918
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2919
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2920
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2921
      both worlds.
2922
 
2923
Minor changes:
2924
    * HTML Documentation
2925
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
2926
 
2927
Internal changes:
2928
    * Generated makefiles

2930
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

2935
Major changes:
2936
    * Jats Sandbox
2937
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
2938
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
2939
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
2940
 
2941
    * RIORDS Platform
2942
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
2943
      This can be disabled with --NoVersion

3056
 
3057
    * jats build -noforce
3058
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3059
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3060
      be forced.
3061
 
3062
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3063
 
3064
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3065
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3066
 
3067
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3068
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3069
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3070
 
3071
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3072
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3073
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3074
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3075

3084
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3085
      installed and can be used.
3086
 
3087
    * Toolset: CSharp
3088
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3089
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3090
      character.
3091
 
3092
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3093
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3094
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3095
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3096
      masking an error.
3097
 
3098
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3099
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3100
      enhancement.

3109
 
3110
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3111
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3112
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.

3114
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3115
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3116
      packages.
3117
 
3118
    * make command: show
3119
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3120
      'jats make show' command.
3121
 
3122
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3123
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3124
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.

      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
3346
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
3347
 
3348
    * BuildPlatform
3349
      New option: --NoToolSet
3350
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3351
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3352
 
3353
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3354
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3355
      need toolset specific information.
3356
 
3357
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3358
 
3359
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
3360
 
3361
Internal:
3362
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
3363
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
3364
      processing into jats.pl
3365
 
3366
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3367
      a ClearCase site.

3466
Minor changes:
3467
    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3468
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3469
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3470
      resulting in multiple builds.
3471
 
3472
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3473
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3474
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3475
 
3476
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3477
 
3478
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3479
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3480
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

3485
Major changes:
3486
 
3487
Minor changes:
3488
    * Jats label command
3489
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3490
      Not recommended for general use.
3491
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3492
      directories within the current view.
3493
 
3494
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3495
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3496
      elsewhere.
3497
 
3498
    * Jats save_build
3499
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3500
      the determination of a branch.
3501
 
3502
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3503
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3504
 
3505
    * Jats build
3506
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3507
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3508
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3509
 
3510
    * Borland6 toolset
3511
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3512
      to match the documented install location of:
3513
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3514
 
3515
    * Jats build
3516
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3517
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3518
      This is a very quick operation.
3519
 
3520
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3521
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3522
 
3523
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3524
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3525
      files are only recreated if need be.
3526
 
3527
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3528
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3529
      make the package.
3530
 
3531
    * Jats sandbox
3532
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3533
 
3534
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3535
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3536
 
3537
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3538
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3539
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3540
      is performed.
3541
 
3542
Internal:
3543
    * build.pl
3544

Minor changes:
3579
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3580
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3581
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3582
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3583
 
3584
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3585
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3586
 
3587
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3588
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3589
      platform builds.
3590
 
3591
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3592
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3593
      directory tree.
3594
 
3595
    * New command: jats man
3596
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3597

3608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3609
Major changes:
3610
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3611
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3612
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3613
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3614
 
3615
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3616
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3617
 
3618
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3619
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3620
 
3621
      Examples:
3622
            jats upddep -show
3623
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3624
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3625
 
3626
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3627
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3628
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3629
 
3630
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3631
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3632
 
3633
Minor changes:
3634
 
3635
Internal changes:
3636
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3641
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3642
Major changes:
3643
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3644
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3645
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3646
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3647
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3648
      stream.
3649
 
3650
      Example:
3651
 
3652
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3653
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3654
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3655
                     );
3656
Minor changes:
3657
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3658
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3659
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3660
      directive.
3661
 
3662
    * GCC Toolkit
3663
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3664
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3665
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3666
      the point of termination.
3667
 
3668
    * Jats save_build utility
3669
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3670
      under windows.
3671
 
3672
    * Jats sandbox
3673
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3674
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3675
      in different sandboxes.
3676
 
3677
    * Jats release
3678
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3679

319 dpurdie 3689
      directory.
3690
 
3691
    * jats label utility
3692
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3693
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3694
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3695
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3696
 
3697
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3698

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3708
        noExceptions            - Disable
3709
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3710
      Example:
3711
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3712
 
3713
    * Solaris targets
3714
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3715
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3716
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3717
      machine type.

      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3725
      project files.
3726
 
3727
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3728
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3729
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3730
 
3731
Minor changes:
3732

3740
      under windows.
3741
 
3742
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3743
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3744
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3745
      libraries.
3746
 
3747
    * Solaris builds
3748
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3749
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3750
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3751
      of the build failure.
3752
 
3753
 
3754
Internal changes:
3755
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3756
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3757
 
3758
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3759
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
3763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3764
Major changes:
3765
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3766
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3767
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3768
      existing 32-bit builds.
3769
 
3770
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3771
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3772
 
3773
Minor changes:
3774
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3775
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3776
 
3777
    * Package searching
3778
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3779
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3780
 
3781
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3782
 
3783
    * jats help
3784
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3785
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3786
 
3787
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3788
      with one of:
3789
        jats -h
3790
        jats help jats
3791
 
3792
Internal:
3793
    * cmdfile utility
3794
      Added macros:
3795
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3796
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3797
 
3798
      Corrected
3799
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3800
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3801
 
3802
      Extended
3803
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3804
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3805
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3806
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3811
Major changes:
3812
 
3813
Minor changes:
3814
 
3815
Internal changes
3816
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3817
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3818
      Useful side effects include:
3819
 
3820
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3821
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3822
 
3823
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3824
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3825
 
3826
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3827
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3828
        BuildPkgArchive
3829
 
313 dpurdie 3830
    * Perl Modules
3831
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3832
      release. This will:
3833
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3834
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3835
          reported by ERG.
3836
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3841
Major changes:
3842
 
3843
Minor changes:
3844
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3845
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3846
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3847
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3848
 
3849
    * Jats label utility
3850
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3851
 
3852
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3853
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3854
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3855
 
3856
    * Jats core
3857
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3858
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3859
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3868
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3869
      This is now fixed.
3870
 
309 dpurdie 3871
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3872
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3873
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3874
 
3875
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3876
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

3883
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3884
    * Generating makefiles
3885
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3886
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3887
      an error.
3888
 
3889
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3890
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3891
 
3892
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3893
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3899
Major changes:
3900
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3901
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3902
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3903
 
3904
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3905
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3906
 
3907
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3908
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3909
      Support includes
3910
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3911
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3912
 
3913
Minor changes:
3914
    * Build file processing
3915
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3916
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3917
 
3918
    * MOS builds
3919
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3920
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3921
 
3922
    * MOS builds
3923
      New 'known' product: PICP
3924
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3925
 
3926
    * GenerateFiles directive
3927
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3928
        under windows.
3929
 
3930
        .
3931
 
3932
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3933
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3934
 
3935
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3936
      to the output stream.
3937
 
3938
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3939
 
3940
    * Windows Shell
3941
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3942
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3943
 
3944
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3945
 
3946
    * H8S toolset
3947
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3948
 
3949
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3950
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3951
 
3952
Internal changes
3953
    * WinCe builds
3954
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3955
      content of the file.
3956
 
3957
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3958
 
3959
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3960
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3972
Major changes:
3973
 
3974
Minor changes:
3975
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3976
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3977
      Changes are transparent to users.
3978
 
3979
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
3980
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
3981
      this occurs.
3982
 
3983
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
3984
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
3985
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
3986
      automated build framework.
3987
 
3988
    * jats sandbox command
3989
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
3990
      'create' command.
3991
 
3992
    * jats command aliases. Added
3993
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
3994
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3999
Major changes:
4000
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4001
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4002
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4003
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4004
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4005
      will work as expected
4006
 
4007
Minor changes:
4008
    * VS2008 Toolset
4009
      Picking up incorrect config details
4010
      May result in a warning message.
4011
 
4012
    * gen_cots utility
4013
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4014
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4015
 
4016
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4017
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

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

Internal Changes:
4123
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4124
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4125
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4126
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4127
 
4128
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4129
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4130
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4134
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4135
Major changes:
4136
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4137
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4138
      information for purely C++ builds.
4139
 
289 dpurdie 4140
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4141
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4142
 
289 dpurdie 4143
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order

4145
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4146
 
4147
Minor changes:
4148
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

4151
    * updatenodespec utility
4152
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4153

4190
    * New command: jats make show
4191
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4192
      used in the build.
4193
 
4194
    * Escrow command
4195
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4196
 
4197
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4198
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4199
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4200
 
4201
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4202
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 4206
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4207
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4208
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4209
 
279 dpurdie 4210
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4211
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4212
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4213
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4214
 
4215
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4216
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4217
 
4218
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4219
 
4220
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4221
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4222
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4223
 
4224
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4225
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4226
        processed.
4227
 
4228
      Removed the '-delete' option
4229
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4230
 
277 dpurdie 4231
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4232
    * Sandbox command
4233
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4234
 
4235
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4236
      target from consideration in the build set.
4237
 
4238
    * MCR Toolset
4239
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4240
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4241
 
4242
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4243
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4244
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4245
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4246
 
4247
    * Jats run_test command
4248
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4249
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4250
 
4251
    * descpkg file
4252
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4253
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4254
 
4255
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4256
     Now contains build trace information
4257
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4258
 
4259
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4260
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4261
     it contains 'jar' files.
4262
 
4263
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4264
 
4265
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4266
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4267
 
4268
   * BuildVersion directive
4269
     Form:
4270
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4271
     now works as expected.
4272
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4273
 
4274
Internal Changes:
4275
 
4276
    * Error reporting mechanism
4277
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4278
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4279
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4291
    then starts.
4292
 
4293
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4294
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4295
 
4296
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4297
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4298
    non-platform option.
4299
 
279 dpurdie 4300
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4455
 
4456
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
4457
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4458
 
4459
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]

4464
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4465
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4466
 
4467
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4468
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4469
      compatibility.
4470
 
4471

4475
            --InstallProg=list
4476
 
4477
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4478
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4479
      GenerateCab.
4480
 
4481

4530
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
4531
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
4532
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the

      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4614
      time.
4615
 
4616
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4617
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4633
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4634
      Previously was being done at two places
4635
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4636
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4637
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4638
 
4639
    * JATS make: Command line
4640
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4641

4650
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4651
        + Consistent use of option parsing

4698
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4699
 
4700
Minor changes:
4701
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4702
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

      The product must be installed in its default location.
4713
 
4714
      New platforms:
4715
        CSHARP2005
4716
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4717
         Support extends to allow:
4718
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4719
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4720
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4721
 
4722
        VS2005
4723
         Support extends to allow:
4724
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4725
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4726
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4727
 
4728
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4729
      through a version selector:
4730
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4731
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4732
 
4733
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4734
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4735
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4736
 
4737
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4738
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4739
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4740
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4741
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4742
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4743
          under VS2005.
4744
 
4745
Minor changes:
4746
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4750
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4751
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4752
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4753
 
4754
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4755
 
4756
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4757
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4758
 
4759
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4760
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4761
      a minimal value of perl.
4762
 
4763
      Removed excessive require statements.
4764
 
4765
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4766
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4767
      Include JATS specific files for
4768
        1) Windows
4769
        2) Linux
4770
 
4771
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4772
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4773
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4774
      machines.
4775
 
4776
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4777
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4778
 
4779
    * JATS Environment

4781
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4782
 
4783
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4784
      wrapper scripts.
4785
 
4786
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4787
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4788
      Spell check help and code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4841
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4842
  * New toolset and platform
4843
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4844
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4845
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4846
    this platform.
4847
 
4848
Minor changes:
4849
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4850
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4851
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4852
    work.
4853
 
4854
  * Jats utility: release
4855
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4856
    published to dpkg_archive.
4857
 
249 dpurdie 4858
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4859
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4860
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4861
    supported for ANT builds.
4862
 
4863
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4864
        releasemanager.releasename
4865
        releasemanager.projectname
4866
 
4867
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4868
    tagged data item of the form
4869
 
4870
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4871
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4872
 
4873
  * Mug File Generation
4874
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4875
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4876
 
4877
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4878
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4879
    required.
4880
 
4881
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4882
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4883
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4884
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4885
    the files in order to use them.
4886
 
4887
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4888
    locate the file.
4889
 
4890
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4891
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4892
 
4893
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4894
        * CSharp
4895
        * Properties
4896
        * WinRC
4897
 
4898
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4899
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4900
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4901
    Value is correctly assigned.

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4907
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4908
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4909
 
4910
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4911
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4912
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4913
 
4914
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4915
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4916
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4917
 
4918
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4919
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4920
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4921
 
4922
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4923
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4924
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4925
    correct.
4926
 
4927
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4928
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4929
 
4930
Minor changes:
4931
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4932
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4933
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4934
 
4935
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4936
    This will simplify new user setup.
4937
 
4938
  * All Unix Toolsets
4939
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4940
    on unix systems
4941
 
4942
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4943
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4944
    on some Solaris Machines.
4945
 
4946
  * JATS -version=<version>
4947
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4948
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4949

      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4957
 
4958
Minor changes:
4959
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4960
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4961
 
4962
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4963
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

4965
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4966
      Does not work with LMOS
4967
 
4968
    * Readme.txt file
4969
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4970
 
4971
    * Misc Cleanup
4972
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats

    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
4992
 
4993
  * JATS builds
4994
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
4995
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
4996
    mode.
4997
 
4998
  * JATS makefiles
4999
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5000
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5001
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5002
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5003
                            SetList directive.
5004

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
5013
 
5014
  * JATS buildfile processing
5015
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5016
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5017
    of JATS.
5018
 
5019
  * JATS save_build utility
5020
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
5021
    which may be reserved.

Minor changes:
239 dpurdie 5048
    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
5049
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5050
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5051
 
5052
    * MOS Toolset
5053
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5054
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5055
 
5056
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
5057
      can have production (PIC) components.
5058

5065
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
5066
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
5067
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
5068
      Previously only worked on Windows

231 dpurdie 5101
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 5102
    * Extract/Release utility.
5103
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
5104
      that can handle spaces
5105
 
5106
    * MOS Compiler
5107
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5108
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5109
 
5110
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5111
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5112
      descpkg files to be copied.
5113
 
5114
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5115
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
5116
 
5117
    * JATS ANT command
5118
      Better selection of the ant build file
5119
 
5120
    * Build directive: BuildVersion

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 5130
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5131
 
5132
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5133
      <project> field.
5134
 
5135

Major changes:
5148
 
5149
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5150
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5151
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5152
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5153
 
5154
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5155
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5156
 
5157
    * Jats wrapper
5158
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5159
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5160

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
5163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5164
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5165
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5166
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5167
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5168
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5169
 
5170
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5171
 
5172
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5173
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5174
 
5175
    * Running Jats
5176
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5177
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5178
      This may affect some windows developers.
5179
 
5180
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5181
      Future versions will generate an error.
5182
 
5183
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5184
 
5185
Minor changes:
5186
    * Perl Version Check
5187
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5188
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5189
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5190
 
5191
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5192
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5193
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5194
      build.
5195
 
5196
    * Jats Internals
5197
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5198
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5199
 
5200
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5201
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5202
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5203
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5204
      process.
5205
 
5206
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5207
      Only works under Windows.
5208
 
5209
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5210
 
5211
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5212
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5213
 
5214
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5215
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5216
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5217
 
5218
    * Jats eprog
5219
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5220
      directory.
5221
 
5222
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5223
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5224
      build metrics.
5225
 
5226

5228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5229
Major changes:
5230
 
5231
Minor changes:
5232
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5233
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5234
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5235
      automated build system. New options are:
5236
        -pname=Package_Name
5237
        -pversion=Package_Version
5238
 
5239
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5240
      transferring the package. New options are:
5241
        -test
5242
 
5243
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5244
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5245
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5246
 
5247
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5248
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5249
 
5250
    * Solaris Toolset
5251
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5252
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5253
      programs are still supported.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5258
Major changes:
5259
 
5260
Minor changes:
5261
    * WINCE toolsets
5262
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5263
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5264
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5265
      when header files cannot be found.
5266
 
5267
    * GenerateFiles directive
5268
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5269
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5270
      that are difficult to solve.
5271
 
5272
    * MakePerlModule directive
5273
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5274
      to the the module builder.
5275
 
5276
    * Jats Tool: label
5277
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5278
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5279
      -dirs=xxx options.
5280
 
5281
    * Jats Tool: release
5282
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5283
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5284
 
5285
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5286
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5287
 
5288
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5289
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5290
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5291
 
5292
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5351
 
5352
    * Makefile generation
5353
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5354
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5355
 
5356
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5357
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5358
 
5359
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5360
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild

5368
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5369
 
5370
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5371
      inconsistent packages.
5372
 
5373
    * jats make help
5374
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5375
      available within the current build.
5376
 
5377
    * jats makefiles
5378
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5379
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5380
 
5381
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5382
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5383
 
5384
    * gcc toolset
5385
      SharedLibries.
5386
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5387
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5388
 
5389
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5390
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5391
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5392
 
5393
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5394
        New options:
5395
            --MultiScan
5396
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5397
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5398
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Major changes:
5405
 
5406
Minor changes:
5407
    PackageLib directive
5408
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5409
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5410
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5411
 
5412
    MakefileGenerate directive
5413
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5414
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5415
 
5416
    Multiple Parent detection
5417
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5418
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5419
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5420
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5421
 
5422
    Solaris Toolset
5423
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5424
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5425
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5426
    link.
5427
 
5428
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5429
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5430
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5431
 
5432
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5433
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5434
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5435
    file.

5440
Major changes:
5441
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5442
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5443
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5444
 
5445
    Summary of changes:
5446
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5447
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5448
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5449
          flexibility.
5450
 
5451
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5452
 
5453
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5454
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5455
          interface directory and associated build information.
5456
 
5457
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5458
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5459
          than one second.
5460
 
5461
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5462
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5463
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5464
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5465
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5466
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5467
 
5468
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5469
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5470
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5471
 
5472
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5473
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5474
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5475
          building them.
5476
 
5477
        - Detection of build file changes
5478
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5479
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5480
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5481
 
5482
        - Quieter make output
5483
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5484
 
5485
 
5486
Minor changes:
5487
    MakeAnt Directive
5488
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5489
 
5490
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5491
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5492
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5493
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5494
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5495
 
5496
    CSHARP toolset
5497
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5498

    MakeAnt
5509
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5510
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5511
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5512
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5513

    New option: --PackageBase
5526
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5527
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5528
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5529
 
5530
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5531
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5532
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5533
        package image being created.

5553
 
5554
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5555
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5556
 
5557
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5558
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5559
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5560
 
5561
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5562
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5563
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5564

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5593
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5594
 
5595
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5596
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5597
      last.
5598
 
5599
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5600
 
5601
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5602
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5603
 
5604
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5605
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5606
 
5607
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5608
 
5609
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5610
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5611
 
5612
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5613
 
5614
 
5615
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5616

5640
Major changes:
5641
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5642
 
5643
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5644
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5645
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5646
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5647
      path.
5648
 
5649
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5650
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5651
      reproducible.
5652
 
5653
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5654
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5655
 
5656
      There are several aspects to the change
5657
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5658
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5659
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5660
 
5661
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5662
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5663
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5664
          controlled separately.
5665
 
5666
Minor changes:
5667
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5668
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5669
        Remove duplicates
5670
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5671

Minor changes:
5678
    * Makefile sanity test
5679
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5680
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5681
 
5682
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5683
      x86 machine.
5684
 
5685
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5686
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory

Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5690
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5691
Major changes:
5692
    * RunTest directive
5693
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5694
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5695
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5696
 
5697
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5698
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5699
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5700
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5701
 
5702
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5703
        builder within the current toolset.
5704
 
5705
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5706
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5707
 
5708
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5709
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5710
      containing the RunTest directive.
5711
 
5712
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5713
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5714
 
5715
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5716
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5717
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5718
 
5719
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5720
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5721
                            P or D suffix.
5722
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5723
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5724
 
5725
Minor changes:
5726
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5727
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5728
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5729
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5730
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5731
 
5732
    * Save Build Utility
5733
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5734
      used in a ripple build.
5735
 
5736
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5737
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5738
 
5739
    * Release Utility
5740
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5741
      when an error is encountered.
5742
 
5743
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5744
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5745
 
5746
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5747
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5748
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5749
 
5750
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5751
      before the makefiles are created.
5752
 
5753
    * TestProg directive
5754
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5755
 
5756
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5757
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5758
 
5759

5760
Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5761
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5762
Major changes:
5763
    * New build target
5764
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5765
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5766
 
5767
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5768
            DEVLINUX
5769
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5770
 
5771
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5772
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5773
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5774
 
5775
Minor changes:
5776
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5777
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5778
 
5779
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5780
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5781
 
5782
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5783
      and .cs files.
5784
 
5785
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5786
      thing.
5787
 
5788
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5789
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5790
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5791
      were it places temp files.
5792
 
5793
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5794
      interaction with other builds.
5795
 
5796
    * Release utility command
5797
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5798
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5799
      component in the clearcase tag name.

Major changes:
5848
 
5849
Minor changes:
5850
  * WINCE Support
5851
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5852
 
5853
  * Removed the following targets
5854
        TP5600
5855
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5856
        TP5600_EMU
5857
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5858
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5859
 
5860
  * Deployment
5861
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5862
 
5863
  * build.pl
5864
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5865
 
5866
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5867
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5868
 
5869
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5870
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5871
    build.
5872
 
5873
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5874
 
5875
  * Tool: escrow
5876
     New features
5877
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5878
     are not in the SBOM.
5879
 
5880
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5881
 
5882
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5886
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5888
Major changes:
5889
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5890
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5891
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5892
 
5893
  * GenerateFiles
5894
    Added the options:
5895
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5896
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5897
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5898
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5899
 
5900
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5901
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5902
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5903
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5904
                                  required.
5905
 
5906
 
5907
Minor changes:
5908
  * GenerateFile directive
5909
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5910
 
5911
  * GCC Toolset
5912
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5913
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5914
    be rebuilt.
5915
 
5916
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5917
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5918
 
5919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5920
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5922
Major changes:
5923
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5924
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5925
    environment variables.
5926
 
5927
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5928
            moved.
5929
 
5930
    This will affect users that:
5931
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5932
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5933
 
5934
        2) Use the ABT system
5935
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5936
           the required configuration
5937
 
5938
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5939
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5940
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5941
    Windows
5942
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5943
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5944
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5945
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5946
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5947
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5948
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5949
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5950
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5951
 
5952
 
5953
  * New build platforms
5954
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5955
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5956
 
5957
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5958
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5959
 
5960
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5961
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5962
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5963
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5964
 
5965
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5966
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5967
    release.
5968
 
5969
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5970
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5971
 
5972
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5973
    need to be converted.
5974
 
5975
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5976
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5977
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5978
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
5979
    used for different targets platforms.
5980
 
5981
  * Sandbox support
5982
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
5983
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
5984
 
5985
    New command: jats sandbox ...
5986

5991
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
5992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5993
Major changes:
5994
  * MakeAnt directive
5995
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
5996
 
5997
    New options
5998
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
5999
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6000
 
6001
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6002
    run_unit_tests phase.
6003
 
6004
  * Sandbox support
6005
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6006
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6007
 
6008
Minor changes:
6009
  * jats build
6010
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6011
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6012
 
6013
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6014
 
6015
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6016
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6017
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6018
 
6019
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6020
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6021
 
6022
  * JATS.BAT
6023
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6024
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6025
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6026
 
6027
  * jats label
6028
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6029
 
6030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6031
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6033
Major changes:
6034
  * New build platform:
6035
        LMOS_TP5600
6036
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6037
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6038
 
6039
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6040
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6041
    describe the group of platforms.
6042
 
6043
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6044
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6045
    build these targets.
6046
 
6047
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6048
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6049
 
6050
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6051
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6052
 
6053
  * New build platform: WINCE
6054
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6055
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6056
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6057
 
6058
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6059
            WCEIT3000
6060
            WCEPA961
6061
            WCEPA962

6070
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6071
 
6072
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6073
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6074
    that contain packaging directives.
6075
 
6076
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6077
    very unusual configurations.
6078
 
6079
Minor changes:
6080
  * Directive: PackageFile
6081
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6082
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6083
    an '='.
6084
 
6085
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6086
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6087
 
6088
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6089
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6090
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6091
 
6092
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6093
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6094

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6096
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6098
Major changes:
6099
 
6100
  * JATS release command
6101
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6102
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6103
 
6104
    Rules are:
6105
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6106
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6107
                            File will be placed on a branch
6108
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6109
                            New directory will branch
6110
 
6111
Minor changes:
6112
  * JATS release command
6113
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6114
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6115
 
6116
  * JATS label command
6117
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6118
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6119
 
6120
  * JATS make
6121
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6122
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6123
    was re-packaged.
6124
 
6125
  * JATS escrow
6126
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6127
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6128
 
6129
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6130
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6131
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6132
 
6133
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6134
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6135
    interface directory.
6136
 
6137
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6138
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6139
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6140
    directory as seen by the package.
6141
 
6142
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6143
 
6144
  * JAVA 6
6145
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6146
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6147
 
6148
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6149
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6150
 
6151
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6152
 
6153
  * Jats command: vars
6154
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6155
    These indicate potential problems.
6156
 
6157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6158
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6160
Major changes:
6161
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6162
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6163
    libarry is also created.
6164
 
6165
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6166
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6167
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6168
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6169
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6170
    information contained within the file.
6171
 
6172
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6173
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6174
 
6175
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6176
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6177
 
6178
  * Building Perl Modules
6179
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6180
    documentation on the build machine.
6181
 
6182
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6183
 
6184
Minor changes:
6185
  * jats create_dpkg
6186
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6187
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6188
 
6189
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6190
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6192
Major changes:
6193
  * JATS JAVA build target
6194
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6195
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6196
 
6197
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6198
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6199
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6200
    is then picked up as the default version.
6201
 
6202
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6203
    build.pl file.
6204
 
6205
Minor changes:
6206
  * jats release
6207
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6208
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6209
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6210
 
6211
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6212
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6213
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6214
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6215
    the name of the view.
6216
 
6217
  * GenerateFiles directive
6218
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6219
 
6220
  * MOS Toolset
6221
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6222
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6223
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6224
 
6225
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6226
 
6227
 
6228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6229
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6231
Major changes:
6232
 
6233
Minor changes:
6234
  * JATS environment
6235
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6236
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6237
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6238
 
6239
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6240
 
6241
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6242
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6243
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6244
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6245
    to be packaged.
6246
 
6247
  * Generated makefiles
6248
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6249
 
6250
  * Generating MOS THX files
6251
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6252
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6253
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6254
 
6255
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6256
 
6257
  * JATS release
6258
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6259
 
6260
  * JATS extract
6261
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6262
 
6263
  * JATS Toolset
6264
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6265
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6266
 
6267
 
6268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6269
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6271
Major changes:
6272
 
6273
Minor changes:
6274
  * jats label
6275
    Added a -vob=name option
6276
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6277
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6278
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6279
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6280
 
6281
    Added a -user=name option
6282
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6283
    label to the named user.
6284
 
6285
  * jats release
6286
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6287
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6288
 
6289
  * JATS build.pl
6290
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6291
    ie:
6292
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6293

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6296
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6298
Major changes:
6299
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6300
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6301
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6302
    the makefile internals. ie:
6303
        --Var(BuildName)
6304
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6305
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6306
 
6307
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6308
 
6309
  * GenerateFiles
6310
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6311
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6312
 
6313
  * BuildPlatforms
6314
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6315
 
6316
Minor changes:
6317
  * GCC Toolset
6318
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6319
 
6320
Internal changes:
6321
  * GenerateFiles
6322
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6323
 
6324
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6325
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6326
 
6327
 
6328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6329
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6331
Major changes:
6332
  * Caching JATS
6333
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6334
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6335
 
6336
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6337
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6338
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6339
 
6340
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6341
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6342
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6343
 
6344
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6345
 
6346
Minor changes:
6347
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6348
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6349
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6350
 
6351
  * jats build
6352
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6353
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6354
    processed by the build.
6355
 
6356
  * jats build
6357
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6358
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6359
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6360
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6361
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6362
 
6363
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6364
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6365
    Path is not specified.
6366
 
6367
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6368
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6369
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6370
        --Dir=$Pinc
6371
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6372
 
6373
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6374
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6375
    Windows platform.
6376
 
6377
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6378
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6379
            by 'purecov.
6380
 
6381
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6382
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6383
 
6384
        - OPTIONS=purify
6385
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6386
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6387
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6388

6391
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6392
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6393
Major changes:
6394
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6395
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6396
    Example:
6397
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6398
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6399
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6400
 
6401
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6402
    been determined.
6403
 
6404
Minor changes:
6405
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6406
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6407
    located at build-time.
6408
 
6409
  * Unix based systems
6410
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6411
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6412
 
6413
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6414
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6415
    driver being built.
6416
 
6417
 
6418
------------------------------------------------------------------------

6423
 
6424
Minor changes:
6425
  * jats_rewrite tool
6426
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6427
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6428
 
6429
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6430
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6431
 
6432
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6433
    dependancy information within a package.
6434
 
6435
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6436
    messages.
6437
 
6438
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6439
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6441
Major changes:
6442
  * makefile.pl directives
6443
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6444
 
6445
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6446
 
6447
    GenerateFiles.
6448
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6449
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6450
                      be run on every invocation.
6451
 
6452
 
6453
Minor changes:
6454
  * Added the jats version command
6455
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6456
 
6457
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6458
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6459
  There are two mechanism:
6460
 
6461
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6462
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6463
 
6464
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6465
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6466
 
6467
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6468
  default.
6469
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6470
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6471

6477
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6478
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6479
    It is based on machine type.
6480
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6481
 
6482
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6483
 
6484
Minor changes:
6485
  * Perl DBI interface
6486
    Removed the message showing database connection
6487
 
6488
  * JATS internal library
6489
    Better handling of badly formed version numbers
6490
 
6491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6492
Version: JATS_2.59.0                                Released: 30-Oct-06
6493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6494
Major changes:
6495
  * GCC Toolset
6496
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6497
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6498
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6499
 
6500
  * Added platforms
6501
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6502
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6503
    TP5600_EMU
6504
 
6505
Minor changes:
6506
  * descpkg file reader
6507
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6508
    field separator.
6509
 
6510
  * JATS eprog command
6511
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6512
 
6513
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6514
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6515
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6516
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6517
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6518
 
6519
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6520
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6521
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6522
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6523
 
6524
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6525
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
6526

6537
 
6538
 
6539
Minor changes:
6540
  * JATS wrapper script
6541
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6542
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6543
    to setup links to system programs.
6544
 
6545

Major changes:
6564
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6565
    Added CompileOptions
6566
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6567
        no_misalign         - Default
6568
 
6569
        multithread         - Default
6570
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6573
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6574
 
6575

6584
 
6585
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6586
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6587
    Theses are:
6588
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6589
        SOLARIS_AMD
6590
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6591
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6592
 
6593
Minor changes:
6594

6604
Major changes:
6605
 
6606
Minor changes:
6607
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6608
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6609
    messages
6610
 
6611
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6612
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6613
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6614
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6615
 
6616
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6617
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6619
Major changes:
6620
 
6621
Minor changes:
6622
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6623
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6624
    library without creating the body of the library:
6625
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6626
 
6627
 
6628
  * MOS toolsets
6629
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6630
    library without creating the body of the library:
6631
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6632
 
6633
  * JATS BIN directories
6634
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6635
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6636
    using autoconf.
6637
 
6638
  * Generate directive
6639
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6640
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6641
 
6642
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6643
 
6644
 
6645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6646
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6648
Major changes:
6649
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6650
    Initial release.
6651
 
6652
Minor changes:
6653
 
6654
 
6655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6656
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6658
Major changes:
6659
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6660
    Initial release.
6661
 
6662
  * Packaging directives
6663
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6664
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6665
 
6666
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6667
        SOLARIS
6668
        WIN32
6669
 
6670
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6671
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6672
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6673
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6674
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6675
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6676
 
6677
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6678
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6679
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6680
 
6681
 
6682
Minor changes:
6683
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6684
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6685
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6686
 
6687
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6688
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6689
    location
6690
 
6691
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6692
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6693
 
6694
  * Utility genrc
6695
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6696
 
6697
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6698
    Added option: -new
6699
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6700
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6701
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6702
 
6703
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6704
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6705
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6706
 
6707
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6708
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6709
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6710
 
6711
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6712
   features - in a uniform manner.
6713
 
6714
 
6715
Internal Changes:
6716
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6717
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6718
 
6719
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6720
        1) Platform information available at build time
6721
        2) Dynamic platform names
6722
 
6723
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6724
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6725
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6726
 
6727
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6728
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6729
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6730
 
6731
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6732
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6733
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6734
    needed.
6735
 
6736
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6737
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6738
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6739
    files from all of these.
6740

6742
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6744
Major changes:
6745
 
6746
Minor changes:
6747
  * WinCE toolset
6748
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6749
 
6750
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6751
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6752
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6753
Major changes:
6754
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6755
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6756
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6757
 
6758
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6759
 
6760
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6761
    the operations.
6762
 
6763
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6764
 
6765
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6766
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6767
 
6768
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6769
 
6770
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6771
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6772
 
6773
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6774
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6775
    Extended the built-in help
6776
    Added useful error messages
6777
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6778
 
6779
  * WinCE toolset
6780
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6781
 
6782
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6783
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6784
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6785
 
6786
Minor changes:
6787
  * JATS wrapper script
6788
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6789
    the command line.
6790
 
6791
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6792
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6793
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6794
 
6795
Internal Changes:
6796
  * Common Error Reporting
6797
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6798
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6799
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6800
    level.
6801
 
6802
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6803
    displayed.
6804
 
6805
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6806
 
6807
  * Added JatsSystem module
6808
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6810
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

Major changes:
6813
 
6814
Minor changes:
6815
  * BR Compiler toolset
6816
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6817
    .def files to include other files.
6818
 
6819
  * IAR toolset
6820
    Added AT7272 support
6821
 
6822
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6823
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6824
 
6825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6826
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6828
Major changes:
6829
 
6830
Minor changes:
6831
  * BR Compiler toolset
6832
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6833
    use.
6834
 
6835
 
6836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6837
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6838
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6839
Major changes:
6840
 
6841
Minor changes:
6842
  * Mictotec toolset
6843
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6844
    builds.
6845
 
6846
  * JATS Core
6847
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6848
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6849
    behaviour.
6850
 
6851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6852
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6854
Major changes:
6855
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6856
    Deployment package will be affected.
6857
 
6858
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6859
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6860
 
6861
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6862
 
6863
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6864
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6865
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6866
    packages.
6867
 
6868
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6869
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6870
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6871
 
6872
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6873
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6874
 
6875
Minor changes:
6876
  * SubDir directive
6877
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6878
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6879
 
6880
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6881
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6882
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6883
    of the file usage.
6884
 
6885
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6886
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6887
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6888
 
6889
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6890
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6891
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6892
 
6893
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6894
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6895
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6896
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6897
 
6898
 
6899
Internal Changes:
6900
  * Code refactor
6901
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6902
 
6903
  * Deployment utilities
6904
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6905
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6906
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6907
    the module can locate the file.
6908
 
6909
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6910
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6911
 
6912
  * JATS core
6913
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6914
 
6915
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6916
 
6917
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6918
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6919
    through the use of environment variables.
6920
 
6921
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6922
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6923
 
6924
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6925
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6926
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6927
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6928
 
6929
  * Make environment
6930
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6931
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6932

6935
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6937
Major changes:
6938
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6939
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6940
 
6941
 
6942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6943
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6944
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6945
 
6946
Not Released.
6947
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6948
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6949
 
6950
 
6951
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6952
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6954
Major changes:
6955
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6956
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6957
    radically replaced.
6958
 
6959
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6960
    Usage:
6961
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6962
 
6963
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6964
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6965
    this solution:
6966
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6967
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6968
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6969
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6970
 
6971
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6972
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6973
    order to work.
6974
 
6975
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6976
    reduced functionality.
6977
 
6978
 
6979
Minor changes:
6980
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
6981
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
6982
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
6983
 
6984
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
6985
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
6986
    within the makefiles.
6987
        Options:
6988
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
6989
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
6990
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
6991
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
6992
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
6993
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
6994
        Useage:
6995
 
6996
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
6997
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
6998
 
6999
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7000
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7001
    is not in the current directory.
7002
 
7003
  * Jats Command: ant'
7004
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7005
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7006
 
7007
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7008
 
7009
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7010
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7011
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7012
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7013
 
7014
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7015
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7016
    Thus
7017
 
7018
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7019
 
7020
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7021
 
7022
 
7023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7024
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7026
Major changes:
7027
 
7028
Minor changes:
7029
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7030
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7031
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7032
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7033
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7034
 
7035
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7036
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7037
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7038
 
7039
Internal changes:
7040
  * JATS toolsets
7041
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7042
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7043
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7044
 
7045
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7046
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7047
 
7048
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7049
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7051
Major changes:
7052
  * Jats command: etool
7053
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7054
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7055
 
7056
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7057
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7058
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7059
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7060
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7061
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7062
 
7063
Minor changes:
7064
 
7065
 
7066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7067
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7069
Major changes:
7070
  * JATS environment variables
7071
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7072
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7073
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7074
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7075
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7076
 
7077
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7078
              Remote repository
7079
 
7080
    Added GBE_DPLY
7081
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7082
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7083
 
7084
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7085
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7086
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7087
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7088
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7089
 
7090
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7091
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7092
 
7093
 
7094
Minor changes:
7095
  * JATS utility: build
7096
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7097
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7098
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7099
 
7100
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7101
    Ensure label is not locked
7102
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7103
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7104
 
7105
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7106
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7107
    to a specific type of build.
7108
 
7109
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7110
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7111
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7112
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7113
 
7114
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7115
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7116
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7117
 
7118
  * JATS utility: release
7119
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7120
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7121
 
7122
  * JATS utility: label
7123
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7124
    when it is being created.
7125
 
7126
Internal Changes
7127
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7128
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7129
 
7130
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7131
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7132
 
7133
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7134
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7135
    different results.
7136
 
7137
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7138
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7139
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7140
 
7141
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7142
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7143
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7144
Major changes:
7145
 
7146
  * MCR toolset
7147
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7148
 
7149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7150
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7152
Major changes:
7153
  * WIN32 utilities
7154
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7155
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7156
 
7157
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7158
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7159
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7160
 
7161
Minor changes:
7162
  * BuildVersion
7163
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7164
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7165
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7166
 
7167
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7168
 
7169
  * Unix Builds
7170
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7171
    library or a shared library.
7172
 
7173
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7174
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7175
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7176
    start with 'lib'.
7177
 
7178
  * BuildPkgArchive
7179
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7180
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7181
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7182
 
7183
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7184
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7186
Major changes:
7187
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7188
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7189
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7190
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7191
    being manually maintained.
7192
 
7193
 
7194
Minor changes:
7195
  * MakeAnt directive
7196
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7197
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7198
    supports ANT builds.
7199
 
7200
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7201
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7202
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7203
 
7204
  * Label utility
7205
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7206
    files to be labeled.
7207
 
7208
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7209
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7210
    on Solaris.
7211
 
7212
  * Generated makefiles
7213
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7214
    nothing.
7215
 
7216
  * MOS Toolset
7217
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7218
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7219
    modules.
7220
 
7221
  * Utility: gen_cots
7222
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7223
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7224
 
7225
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7226
 
7227
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7228
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7229
 
7230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7231
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7233
Major changes:
7234
  None
7235
 
7236
Minor changes:
7237
  * DEVI addressed
7238
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7239
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7240
 
7241
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7242
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7243
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7244
 
7245
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7246
 
7247
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7248
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7249
 
7250
  * RunTest directive
7251
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7252
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7253
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7254
 
7255
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7256
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7257
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7258
    packaged under JATS
7259
 
7260
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7261
          supported within JATS.
7262
 
7263
  * Jats utility wrapper
7264
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7265
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7266
 
7267
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7268
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7269
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7270
 
7271
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7272
    Eg: jats ant
7273
 
7274
  * Jats utility wrapper
7275
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7276
 
5710 dpurdie 7277
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7278
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7279
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7280
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7281
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7282
 
5710 dpurdie 7283
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7284
    expect a build.pl file.
7285
 
7286
  * Jats utility wrapper
7287
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7288
 
7289
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7290
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7291
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7292
 
7293
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7294
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7295
 
7296
  * Build files
7297
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7298
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7299

7302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7303
Major changes:
7304
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7305
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7306
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7307
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7308
 
7309
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7310
 
7311
Minor changes:
7312
  * None
7313
 
7314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7315
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7317
Major changes:
7318
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7319
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7320
    ie:
7321
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7322
 
7323
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7324
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7325
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7326
    environments are compatible.
7327
 
7328
 
7329
Minor changes:
7330
  * BuildName option
7331
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7332
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7333
 
7334
  * jats.bat
7335
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7336
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7337
 
7338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7339
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7340
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7341
Major changes:
7342
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7343
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7344
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7345
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7346
 
7347
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7348
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7349
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7350
 
7351
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7352
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7353
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7354
 
7355
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7356
    transferred.
7357
 
7358
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7359
    See notes below.
7360
 
7361
  * WIN32 toolset
7362
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7363
    correctly.
7364
 
7365
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7366
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7367
 
7368
  * BuildVersion
7369
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7370
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7371
    other langauges as needed.
7372
 
7373
 
7374
Minor changes:
7375
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7376
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7377
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7378
    version strings.
7379
 
7380
  * GenerateFiles directive
7381
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7382
    package or an imported package.
7383
 
7384
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7385
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7386
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7387
 
7388
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7389
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7390
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7391
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7392
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7393
 
7394
Internal Changes
7395
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7396
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7397
    of utilities.
7398
 
7399
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7400
    functions.
7401
 
7402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7403
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7405
Major changes:
7406
  * Generated makefiles
7407
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7408
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7409
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7410
 
7411
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7412
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7413
    incorrectly processing:
7414
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7415
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7416
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7417
    confused.
7418
 
7419
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7420
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7421
    The construct
7422
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7423
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7424
    then it works.
7425
 
7426
  * MakeAnt directive
7427
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7428
 
7429
    This option has the following effects
7430
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7431
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7432
 
7433
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7434
           early - in the generated files phase.
7435
 
7436
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7437
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7438
 
7439
 
7440
Minor changes:
7441
  * JATS post-installation script
7442
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7443
 
7444
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7445
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7446
    windows.
7447
 
7448
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7449
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7450
 
7451
  * Jats wrapper script
7452
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7453
        1) Contain spaces
7454
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7455
 
7456
  * Toolset
7457
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7458
 
7459
  * JAVA toolset
7460
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7461
    directive:
7462
 
7463
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7464
 
7465
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7466
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7467
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7468
 
7469
  * GCC Toolset
7470
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7471
 
7472
  * Makefile generation
7473
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7474
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7475
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7476
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7477
    package could not be used.
7478
 
7479
  * Unit Tests
7480
    The following environment variables are set:
7481
 
7482
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7483
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7484
 
7485
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7486
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7487
 
7488
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7489
 
7490
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7491
 
7492
 
7493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7494
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7496
Major changes:
7497
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7498
 
7499
    Special features of this toolset.
7500
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7501
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7502
       incorporated within the target image.
7503
 
7504
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7505
       --Set=Name=Value
7506
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7507
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7508
 
7509
       --Ref=name
7510
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7511
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7512
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7513
                will be taken from the build version number.
7514
 
7515
Minor changes:
7516
  * MOS Toolset
7517
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7518
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7519
    packaged.
7520
 
7521
  * Src directive
7522
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7523
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7524
    specifier.
7525
 
7526
  * WIN32 runtime support
7527
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7528
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7529
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7530
 
7531
Internal:
7532
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7533
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7534
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7535
 
7536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7537
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7539
Major changes:
7540
    * BuildAlias directive
7541
      Added options.
7542
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7543
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7544
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7545
                          targets.
7546
      Eg:
7547
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7548
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7549
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7550
 
7551
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7552
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7553
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7554
 
7555
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7556
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7557
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7558
 
7559
 
7560
Minor changes:
7561
  * Label utility
7562
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7563
    build.pl file
7564
 
7565
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7566
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7567
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7568
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7569
    --FilterIn option.
7570
 
7571
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7572
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7573
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7574
 
7575
  * Location of descpkg file
7576
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7577
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7578
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7579
 
7580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7581
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7582
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7583
Major changes:
7584
  * RunTest directive
7585
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7586
    Additional options
7587
      --CopyIn=file
7588
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7589
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7590
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7591
        the test area.
7592
 
7593
    Additional operations
7594
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7595
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7596
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7597
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7598
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7599
    Allows flags:
7600
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7601
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7602
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7603
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7604
 
7605
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7606
    existence is tested.
7607
 
7608
  * Packaging Directives
7609
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7610
    such as LMOS.
7611
 
7612
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7613
 
7614
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7615
 
7616
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7617
 
7618
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7619
 
7620
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7621
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7622
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7623
 
7624
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7625
 
7626
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7627
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7628
 
7629
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7630
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7631
 
7632
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7633
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7634
 
7635
Minor changes:
7636
  * Script directive
7637
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7638
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7639
 
7640
  * JATS environment
7641
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7642
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7643
    the JATS wrapper script.
7644
 
7645
  * Label utility
7646
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7647
    There are three modes of operation:
7648
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7649
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7650
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7651
 
7652
 
7653
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7654
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7656
Major changes:
7657
 
7658
Minor changes:
7659
  * label utility
7660
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7661
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7662
 
7663
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7664
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7665
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7666
      --ProgLoader=name
7667
 
7668
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7669
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7670
    Options to do this are:
7671
        --TreeDir=name
7672
        --FilterOut=regexp
7673
        --FilterIn=regexp
7674
        --StripDir
7675
 
7676
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7677
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7678
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7679
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7680
 
7681
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7682
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7683
 
7684
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7685
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7686
 
7687
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7688
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7689
 
7690
 
7691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7692
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7694
Major changes:
7695
    * Make commands
7696
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7697
 
7698
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7699
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7700
 
7701
    * Label utility
7702
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7703
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7704
 
7705
Minor changes:
7706
    * Toolsets
7707
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7708
      variables and overrides.
7709
 
7710
      The make_init target is always run.
7711
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7712
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7713
 
7714
    * Deployment
7715
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7716
      with deployment operations.
7717
 
7718
    * Release utility
7719
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7720
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7721
      restricted by options within the build.
7722
 
7723
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7724
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7725
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7726
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7727
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7728
 
7729
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7730
      directives.
7731
 
7732
    * MakeProject directive
7733
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7734
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7735
 
7736
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7737
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7738
      is preserved.
7739
 
7740
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7741
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7742
      statements.
7743
 
7744
    * Mugfile generation
7745
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7746
      be placed in the target package.
7747
 
7748
 
7749
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7750
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7752
Major changes:
7753
    * BuildVersion directive
7754
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7755
      number as well as a patch number.
7756
 
7757
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7758
      number.
7759
 
7760
Minor changes:
7761
    * AddFlags directives
7762
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7763
      duplicate flags being added.
7764
 
7765
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7766
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7767
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7768
 
7769
    * Mug File Generation
7770
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7771
 
7772
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7773
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7774
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7775
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7776
     directory.
7777
 
7778
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7779
     reproducible.
7780
 
7781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7782
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7784
Major changes:
7785
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7786
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7787
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7788
      longer a list of directories.
7789
 
7790
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7791
      done within the toolset.
7792
 
7793
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7794
 
7795
    * JATS environment variables
7796
      Redefined variable
7797
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7798
                          Previously was a list that included the
7799
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7800
 
7801
      New variable
7802
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7803
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7804
 
7805
 
7806
Minor changes:
7807
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7808
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7809
      target platforms to be extracted.
7810
 
7811
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7812
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7813
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7814
 
7815
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7816
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7817
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7818
 
7819
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7820
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7821
 
7822
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7823
      Support ANT based XML files
7824
 
7825
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7826
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7827
      structure.
7828
 
7829
    * makefile.pl's
7830
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7831
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7832
 
7833
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7834
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7835
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7836
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7837
 
7838
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7839
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7840
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7841
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7842
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7843
      -- Auto.
7844
 
7845
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7846
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7847
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7848
 
7849
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7850
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7851
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7852
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7853
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7854
 
7855
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7856
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7857
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7858
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7859
      installed on the machine.
7860
 
7861
    * WINCE Targets
7862
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7863
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7864
 
7865
 
7866
 
7867
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7868
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7869
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7870
Major changes:
7871
    * WIN32 platforms
7872
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7873
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7874
      and installed packages.
7875
 
7876
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7877
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7878
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7879
 
7880
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7881
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7882
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7883
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7884
      searched when looking for libraries.
7885
 
7886
Minor changes:
7887
    * GenerateFiles directive
7888
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7889
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7890
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7891
                          and drive letter
7892
 
7893
    * Src directive
7894
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7895
      directory of a package.
7896
 
7897
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7898
 
7899
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7900
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7901
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7902
 
7903
    * jats_rewrite utility
7904
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7905
 
7906
 
7907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7908
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7910
Major changes:
7911
    * SunWorks production builds
7912
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7913
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7914
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7915
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7916
      compiler documentation.
7917
 
7918
    * MOS Toolset
7919
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7920
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7921
 
7922
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7923
 
7924
Minor changes:
7925
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7926
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7927
      This should not affect current users.
7928
 
7929
    * Mugfile generation
7930
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7931
      specified.
7932
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7933
 
7934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7935
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7937
Major changes:
7938
    MOS Toolset
7939
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7940
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7941
 
7942
Minor changes:
7943
    * Jats wrapper script
7944
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7945
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7946
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7947
 
7948
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7949
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7950
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7951
      may be suspect.
7952
 
7953
    * GenerateFiles directive
7954
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7955
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7956
 
7957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7958
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7960
Major changes:
7961
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7962
      build.xml files.
7963
 
7964
Minor changes:
7965
    * WIN32 toolset.
7966
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7967
 
7968
    * MakeAnt
7969
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7970
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7971
 
7972
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7973
 
7974
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7975
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7976
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7977
 
7978
    * MakeAnt directive
7979
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
7980
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
7981
      conjunction with the JAVA target
7982
 
7983
      Recommended usage:
7984
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
7985
 
7986
Internal Changes
7987
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
7988

7991
Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
7992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7993
Major changes:
7994
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
7995
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
7996
      files packaged into the release.

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8002
 
8003
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8004
      The recommended platform is:
8005
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8006
 
8007
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8008
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8009
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8010
      components.

8016
 
8017
Minor changes:
8018
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8019
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8020
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8021
      by the package to be accessed.
8022
 
8023
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8024
      application or visual studio.
8025
 
8026
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8027
      and the JATS Core path.
8028
 
8029
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8030
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8031
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8032
 
8033
    * MOS Toolset
8034
      Add support for the TPT device
8035
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8036
 
8037
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8038
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8039
 
8040
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8041
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8042
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8043
 
8044
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8045
 
8046
Internal Changes
8047
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8048
      in jats.pl
8049
 
8050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8051
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8053
Major changes:
8054
    * JATS wrapper script
8055
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8056
 
8057
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8058
 
8059
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8060
 
8061
Minor changes:
8062
    * Deployment support
8063
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8064
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8065
 
8066
    * 'build'
8067
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8068
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8069
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8070
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8071
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8072
 
8073
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8074
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8075
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8076
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8077
                                      the link phase.
8078
 
8079
    * BuildPkgArchive
8080
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8081
      Previously these were ignored.
8082
      Minor code cleanup
8083
 
8084
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8085
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8086
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8087
 
8088
    * SOLARIS targets
8089
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8090
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8091
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8092
 
8093
    * MugFile generation
8094
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8095
      included in the final package.
8096
 
8097
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8098
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8099
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8100
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8101
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8102
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8103
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8104
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8105
 
8106
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8107
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8108
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8109
            --Option=(some_text)
8110
            --Option=[some_text]
8111
            --Option={some_text}
8112
 
8113
Internal Changes
8114
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8115
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8116
      code.
8117

8119
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8120
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8121
Major changes:
8122
    * JATS wrapper script
8123
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8124
 
8125
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8126
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8127
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8128
      other components.
8129
 
8130
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8131
 
8132
    * JATS
8133
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8134
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8135
 
8136
    * Build operations
8137
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8138
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8139
      packages.
8140
 
8141
    * Make operations
8142
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8143
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8144
 
8145
Minor changes:
8146
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8147
      deployment builds.
8148
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8149
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8150
 
8151
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8152
 
8153
    * build.pl
8154
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8155
        processed. Allows
8156
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8157
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8158
        production.
8159
 
8160
    * MOS toolset
8161
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8162
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8163
 
8164
    * create_dpkg utility
8165
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8166
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8167
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8168
      progress of the build.
8169
 
8170
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8171
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8172
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8173
      system.
8174
 
8175

8176
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8178
Major changes:
8179
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8180
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8181
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8182
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8183
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8184
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8185
 
8186
    * WCEX86A500 target
8187
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8188
 
8189
    * MOS Toolsets
8190
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8191
      the compiler.
8192
 
8193
    * RunTest directive
8194
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8195
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8196
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8197
 
8198
Minor changes:
8199
    * JATS BUILD
8200
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8201
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8202
      highlight bad settings.
8203
 
8204
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8205
      access to extensions.
8206
 
8207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8208
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8209
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8210
Major changes:
8211
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8212
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8213
 
8214
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8215
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8216
      under unix.
8217
 
8218
Minor changes:
8219
    * label utility
8220
      Added options to:
8221
        o Delete a label
8222
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8223
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8224
 
8225
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8226
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8227
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8228
      Package directives.
8229
 
8230
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8231
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8232
      system.
8233
 
8234
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8235
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8236
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8237
Major changes:
8238
    * MOS Toolset
8239
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8240
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8241
 
8242
    * WIN32 Toolset
8243
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8244
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8245
      list.
8246
 
8247
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8248
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8249
 
8250
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8251
 
8252
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8253
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8254
 
8255
 
8256
Minor changes:
8257
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8258
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8259
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8260
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8261
      corrected.
8262
 
8263
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8264
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8265
 
8266
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8267
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8268
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8269
 
8270
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8271
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8272
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8273
Major changes:
8274
    * WIN32 Toolset
8275
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8276
      use with multithreaded modes.
8277
 
8278
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8279
      --OnlyProd.
8280
 
8281
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8282
      within the makefile.pl.
8283
 
8284
Minor changes:
8285
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8286
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8287
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8288
      platforms.
8289
 
8290
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8291
 
8292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8293
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8295
Major changes:
8296
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8297
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8298
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8299
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8300
 
8301
    * Preliminary Support
8302
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8303
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8304
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8305
 
8306
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8307
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8308
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8309
 
8310
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8311
      building. The default build will build both.
8312
 
8313
Minor changes:
8314
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8315
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8316
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8317
 
8318
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8319
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8320
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8321
 
8322
 
8323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8324
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8325
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8326
Major changes:
8327
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8328
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8329
      or all.
8330
 
8331
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8332
      the library or program.
8333
 
8334
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8335
 
8336
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8337
      library or any debug files.
8338
 
8339
    * GenerateFiles
8340
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8341
 
8342
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8343
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8344
 
8345
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8346
              The filename of the prereq file
8347
 
8348
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8349
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8350
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8351
 
8352
 
8353
Minor changes:
8354
    * create_dpkg utility
8355
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8356
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8357
      the package has been altered.
8358

8362
Major changes:
8363
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8364
      This is a WINCE target
8365
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8366
 
8367
    * New toolset
8368
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8369
 
8370
    * Modified toolset
8371
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8372
 
8373
    * Modified toolset
8374
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8375
 
8376
Minor changes:
8377
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8378
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8379
 
8380
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8381
 
8382
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8383
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8384
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8385
 
8386
      The change allows the construct
8387
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8388
      to be replaced by the simpler
8389
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8390
 
8391
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8392
      specified name.    
8393

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8413
Major changes:
8414
    * The "package.pl" file.
8415
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8416
      package name being taken from the build name
8417
 
8418
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8419
      package Build Name.
8420
 
8421
Minor changes:
8422
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
8432
      Correct two common situations
8433
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8434
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8435
           ansi, but is often done.
8436
 
8437
    * GCC toolset
8438
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8439
      being created in the correct place.
8440
 
8441
    * jats "label"
8442
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8443
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8444
 
8445
 
8446
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8449
Major changes:
8450
 
8451
Minor changes:
8452
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8453
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8454
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8455
 
8456
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8457
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8458
 
8459
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8460
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the

8466
Major changes:
8467
    * Support for solaris_i386
8468
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8469
      binaries for this target.
8470
 
8471
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8472
      with the GCC compiler.
8473
 
8474
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8475
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8476
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8477
 
8478
Minor changes:
8479
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8480
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8481
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8482
 
8483
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8484
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8489
Major changes:
8490
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8491
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8492
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8493
 
8494
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8495
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8496
 
8497
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8498
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8499
      with either " or ' characters.
8500
 
8501
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8502
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8503

8508
 
8509
    * Jats wrapper
8510
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8511
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8512
      further commands.
8513
 
8514
Minor changes:
8515
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8516
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8517
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8518
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8519

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8521
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8523
Major changes:
8524
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8525
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8526
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8527
 
8528
      These options operation affect all components within the
8529
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8530
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8531
 
8532
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8533
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8534
 
8535
Minor changes:
8536
 
8537
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8538
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8540
Major changes:
8541
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8542
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8543
 
8544
Minor changes:
8545
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8546
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8547
 
8548
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8549
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8550
 
8551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8552
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8554
Major changes:
8555
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8556
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8557
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8558
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8559
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8560
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8561
      installed.
8562
 
8563
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8564
      libraries that depend on each other.
8565
 
8566
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8567
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8568
 
8569
Minor changes:
8570
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8571
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8572
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8573
 
8574
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8575
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8576
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8577
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8578
 
8579
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8580
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8581
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8582
Major changes:
8583
 
8584
Minor changes:
8585
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8586
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8587
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8588
      file.
8589
 
8590
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8591
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8592
 
8593
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8594
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8595
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8596
 
8597
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8598
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8599
 
8600
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8601
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8602
 
8603
    * WinCE toolsets
8604
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8605
      compiler specific libraries.
8606
 
8607
    * SOLARIS toolset
8608
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8609
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8610
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8611
 
8612
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8613
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8614
      cleaned up.
8615
 
8616
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8617
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8618
 
8619
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8620
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8621
      with either " or ' characters.
8622
 
8623
 
8624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8625
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8627
Major changes:
8628
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8629
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8630
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8631
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8632
 
8633
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8634
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8635
 
8636
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8637
      user.
8638
 
8639
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8640
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8641
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8642
 
8643
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8644
      for the   -Gf option.
8645
 
8646
Minor changes:
8647
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8648
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8649
 
8650
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8651
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8652
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8653
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8654
 
8655
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8656
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8657
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8658
Major changes:
8659
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8660
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8661
 
8662
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8663
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8664
      data addresses for the board.
8665
 
8666
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8667
 
8668
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8669
 
8670
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8671
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8672
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8673
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8674
         PackageFile
8675
 
8676
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8677
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8678
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8679
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8680
 
8681
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8682
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8683
      to be installed and packaged.
8684
 
8685
Minor changes:
8686
 
8687
    * cache_dpkg utility
8688
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8689
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8690
 
8691
    * label utility
8692
      New option -auto to create and label
8693
 
8694
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8695
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8696
 
8697
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8698
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8699
      directory. ie:
8700
 
8701
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8702
 
8703
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8704
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8705
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8706
 
8707
 
8708
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8709
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8711
Major changes:
8712
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8713
 
8714
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8715
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8716
 
8717
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8718
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8719
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8720
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8721
 
8722
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8723
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8724
      compilation.
8725
 
8726
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8727
 
8728
Minor changes:
8729
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8730
      one is being produced.
8731
 
8732
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8733
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8734
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8735
 
8736
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8737
 
8738
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8739
 
8740
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8741
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8742
 
8743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8744
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8745
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8746
Major changes:
8747
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8748
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8749
 
8750
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8751
 
8752
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8753
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8754
      same directory
8755
 
8756
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8757
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8758
      documenattion.
8759
 
8760
Minor changes:
8761
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8762
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8763
 
8764
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8765
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8766
 
8767
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8768
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8769
 
8770
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8771
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8772
 
8773
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8774
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8775
      be exempt from this test.
8776
 
8777
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8778
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8779
 
8780
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8781
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8782
 
8783
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8784
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8785
      does.
8786
 
8787
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8788
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8789
 
8790
 
8791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8792
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8794
Major changes:
8795
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8796
 
8797
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8798
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8799
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8800
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8801
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8802
 
8803
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8804
      operations.
8805
 
8806
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8807
 
8808
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8809
 
8810
Minor changes
8811
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8812
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8813
 
8814
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8815
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8816
      directory is not added to the library path.
8817
 
8818
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8819
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8820
 
8821
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8822
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8823
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8824
 
8825
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8826
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8827
      specific flags.
8828
 
8829
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8830
 
8831
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8832
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8833
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8834
 
8835
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8836
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8837
      JATS.
8838
 
8839
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8840
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8841
 
8842
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8843
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8844
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8845
 
8846
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8847
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8848
 
8849
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8850
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8851
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8852
 
8853
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8854
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8855
 
8856
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8857
 
8858
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8859
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8860
 
8861
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8862
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8863
      objects.
8864
 
8865
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8866
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8867
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8868
      build defendants.
