      Exclude .svn sub directories.
870
 
871
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
872
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
873
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
874
      build errors.
875
 
876
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
877
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
878
 
879
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
880
      Shorthand for
881
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
882
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
883
 
884
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
885
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
886
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
887
      Examples: 
888
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
889
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
890
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
891
 
892
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
893
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
894
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
895
 
896
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
897
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
898
      build system.
899
 
900

901
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
902
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
903

------------------------------------------------------------------------
909
 
910
Minor changes:
911
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
912
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
913
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
914
 
915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
916
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
918
 
919
Minor changes:
920
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
921
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
922
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
923
 
924
    * Build Files
925
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
926
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
927
 
928
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
929
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
930
 
931
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
932
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
933
 
934
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
935
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
936
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
937
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
938
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
939
 
940
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
941
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
942
     different architectures.
943
 
944
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
945
     are directed to one or more machines.
946
 
947
     Intended uses:
948
        Windows: Creating installers. 
949
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
950
 
951
       All: Specialized packaging.
952
 
953
    * Makefiles
954
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
955
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
956
      Eg:
957
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
958
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
959
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
960
      It could also have been written as:
961
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
962
      but NOT as:
963
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
964
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
965
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
966
 
967
    * Utility: sandbox
968
      Subcommand info 
969
        - Added option to test fingerprints

      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
979
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
980
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
981
 
982
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
983
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
984
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
985
 
986
    * GenerateFiles directive
987
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

1009
 
1010
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1011
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1012
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1013
      machine may build the toolset.
1014
 
1015
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1016
      platform.

1038
 
1039
    * Utility: escrow
1040
      Added -skim option
1041
 
1042

1045
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1046
 
1047
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1048
 
1049
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1050
        if an error is detected.
1051

1053
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1054
 
1055
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1056
        skipped during the build.

1067
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1068
 
1069

1179
Minor changes:
1180
    * Makefile Package and Install directives
1181
      Addressed [JATS-405] - PackageFile does not handle files with a colon 
1182
                             in the name
1183
      Centralized handling of filename escaping.
1184
 
1185
      Note: The 'colon' character is not supported under Windows. This is a
1186
      limitation of Windows, not JATS. The use of a colon in a file name is
1187
      strongly discouraged. Such files can only be manipulated under Unix.
1188
 
1189
    * Make operations uninstall, unpackage and clobber
1190
      Improved the deletion of files such that only files that exist will 
1191
      be logged as deleted.

2310
Minor changes:
2311
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2312
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2313
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2314
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2315
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2316
 
2317
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2318
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

Minor changes:
2326
    * Utility: update_release
2327
      Added options:
2328
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2329
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2330
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2331
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2332
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2333
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2334
 
2335
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2336
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2337
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2338
 
2339
    * Build Target: UBUNTU12
2340
      Added missing LMOS aliases.

2344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2345
Major changes:
2346
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2347
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2348
      intended to build deployed software.
2349
 
2350
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2351
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2352
 
2353
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2354
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2355
 
2356
Minor changes:
2357
    * Jats wrapper script
2358
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2359
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2360
      Subversion instance of the command.
2361
 
2362
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2363
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2364
 
2365
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2366
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2367
 
2368
    * Utility: jats upddep
2369
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2370
      file under windows.
2371
 
2372
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2373
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2374
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2375
 
2376
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2377
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2378
 
2379
    * GCC Toolchain
2380
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2396
Major changes:
2397
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2398
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2399
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2400
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2401
 
2402
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2403
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2411
      family
3559 dpurdie 2412
 
2413
Minor changes:
2414
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2415
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2416
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2417
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2418
      line.
2419
 
2420
    * Jats Configuration
2421
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2422
 
2423
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2424
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2425
      and Linux.
2426
 
2427
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2428
      correctly rippled.

2435
Minor changes:
2436
    * Jats Core
2437
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2438
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2439
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2440
 
2441
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2442
      Used only by the build daemons.
2443
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2444
 
2445
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2446
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2447
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2452
Major changes:
2453
 
2454
Minor changes:
2455
    * svnrelease utility
2456
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2457
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2458
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2459
 
2460
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2461
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2462
      the named tag.
2463
 
2464
    * svnrelease utility
2465
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2466
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2477
        covered by the makefile.
2478
 
2479
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2480
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2481
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2482
 
2483
    * ALL Toolsets
2484
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2485
 
2486
    * Utility vcsdiff
2487
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2488
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2489
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2502
      repository.
2503
 
2504
    * Subversion Support
2505
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2506
      showing the user what to do.
2507
 
2508
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2509
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2510
      we have build support for this target.
2511
 
2512
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2513
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2514
 
2515
Internal:
2516
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2517
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2518
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2519
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

    * Makefile generation
2537
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2538
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2539
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots

      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2559
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2560
      windows path scheme.
2561
 
2562
Minor changes:
2563
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2564
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2565
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2566
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2567
 
2568
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2569
        jats make clobber
2570
      This operates as before.
2571
 
2572
    * Utility: escrow
2573
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2574
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2575
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2576
 
2577
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2578
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2579
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2580
 
2581
    * Utility: svn : url
2582
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2583
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2584
 
2585
    * Utility: svn : import
2586
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2587
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2588
 
2589
    * Subversion Support
2590
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2591
      showing the user what to do.
2592
 
2593
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2594
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2595
      repositories.

2601
Minor changes:
2602
    * Jats build
2603
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2604
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2605
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2606
 
2607
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2608
      command, with a sandbox.

      Added two subcommands
2619
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
2620
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2621
                 Can also display available branches.
2622
 
2054 dpurdie 2623
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2629
 
2630
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2631
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2632
      Modified two options:
2633
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2634
                        The named branch must not exist
2635
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2636
                        The named branch must exist
2637
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2647
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2648

2672
Major changes:
2673
    * Jats Version Number
2674
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2676
      significantly.
2677
 
2678

Major changes:
2689
    * Subversion support

      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2691
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2692
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2693
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2694
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2695
 
2696
Minor changes:
2697
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2698
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2699
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2700
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2701
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2702
 
2703
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2704
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2705
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2706
 
2707
    * Linux support utilities
2708
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2709
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
2710

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2715
Major changes:
2716
    * Subversion Repository location
2717
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2718
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2719
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2720
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2721
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2722
 
2723
Minor changes:
2724
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2725
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2726
 
2727
    * Utility: svnrelease
2728
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2729
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2730
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2731
 
2732
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2733
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2734
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2735
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2736
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2737
 
2738
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2739
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2740
 
2741
    * Utility: sandbox
2742
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2743
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2744
 
2745
      Subcommand: populate
2746
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2747
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2748
      sandbox.
2749
 
2750
    * Subversion Support
2751
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2752
      repository is not supported.
2753
 
2754
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2755
      a progress indication.
2756
 
2757
    * Jats Online Documentation
2758
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2759
      online documentation.
2760
 
2761
    * Generated makefiles
2762
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2839
Major changes:
2840
 
2841
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2842
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2843
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2844
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2845
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2846
 
2847
    * C# Toolchain
2848

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2860
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2861
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2862
 
2863
    * Utility ccrelease
2864
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2865
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2866
 
2867
    * Utility: svn
2868

2897
Major changes:
2898
 
2899
Minor changes:
2900
    * Command: jats clobber
2901
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2902
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2903
 
2904
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2905
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2906
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2907
 
2908
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2909
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2910
 
377 dpurdie 2911
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2912
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2913
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2914
 
2915
    * jats svnlabel
2916
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2917
 
2918
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2919
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2920
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2921
 
2922
    * Built Daemon support
2923
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2924
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2925

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2929
Major changes:
2930
    * GCC Toolset
2931
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2932
      New methodology is:
2933
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2934
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2935
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2936
        as the main binary.
2937
 
2938
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2939
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2940
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the

3076
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3077
 
3078
    * jats build -noforce
3079
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3080
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3081
      be forced.
3082
 
3083
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3084
 
3085
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3086
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3087
 
3088
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3089
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3090
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3091
 
3092
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3093
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3094
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3095
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3096

    * Utility: svnrelease
3098
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3099

3102
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3103
 
3104
    * Utility: svn
3105
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3106
      installed and can be used.
3107
 
3108
    * Toolset: CSharp
3109
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3110
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3111
      character.
3112
 
3113
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3114
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3115
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3116
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3117
      masking an error.
3118
 
3119
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3120
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3121
      enhancement.

3129
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3130
 
3131
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3132
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3133
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3134
 
3135
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3136
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3137
      packages.
3138
 
3139
    * make command: show
3140
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3141
      'jats make show' command.
3142
 
3143
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3144
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3145
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.

Minor changes:
3350
    * Jats Sandbox operation
3351
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
3352
 
3353
    * Jats MakeProject directive
3354
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
3355
      of the project builds to be specified.
3356
 
3357
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
3358
      to build a package.
3359
 
3360
    * MergeLibrary directive
3361
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
3362
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
3363
      suffix in the library name.
3364
 
3365
    * GenerateFiles directive
3366
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
3367
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
3368
 
3369
    * BuildPlatform
3370
      New option: --NoToolSet
3371
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3372
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3373
 
3374
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3375
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3376
      need toolset specific information.
3377
 
3378
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3379
 
3380
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

3386
 
3387
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3388
      a ClearCase site.

3461
      files for Production and Debug builds.
3462
 
3463
Minor changes:
3464
    * Jats sandbox command

    * Dependency Generation Tool - mkdepend
3489
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3490
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3491
      resulting in multiple builds.
3492
 
3493
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3494
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3495
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3496
 
3497
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3498
 
3499
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3500
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3501
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

3508
Minor changes:
3509
    * Jats label command
3510
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3511
      Not recommended for general use.
3512
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3513
      directories within the current view.
3514
 
3515
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3516
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3517
      elsewhere.
3518
 
3519
    * Jats save_build
3520
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3521
      the determination of a branch.
3522
 
3523
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3524
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3525
 
3526
    * Jats build
3527
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3528
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3529
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3530
 
3531
    * Borland6 toolset
3532
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3533
      to match the documented install location of:
3534
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3535
 
3536
    * Jats build
3537
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3538
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3539
      This is a very quick operation.
3540
 
3541
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3542
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3543
 
3544
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3545
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3546
      files are only recreated if need be.
3547
 
3548
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3549
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3550
      make the package.
3551
 
3552
    * Jats sandbox
3553
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3554
 
3555
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3556
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3557
 
3558
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3559
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3560
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3561
      is performed.
3562
 
3563
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3601
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3602
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3603
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3604
 
3605
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3606
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3607
 
3608
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3609
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3610
      platform builds.
3611
 
3612
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3613
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3614
      directory tree.
3615
 
3616

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3630
Major changes:
3631
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3632
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3633
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3634
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3635
 
3636
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3637
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3638
 
3639
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3640
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3641
 
3642
      Examples:
3643
            jats upddep -show
3644
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3645
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3646
 
3647
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3648
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3649
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3650
 
3651
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3652
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3653
 
3654
Minor changes:
3655

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3663
Major changes:
3664
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3665
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3666
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3667
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3668
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3669
      stream.
3670
 
3671
      Example:
3672
 
3673
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3674
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3675
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3676
                     );
3677
Minor changes:
3678
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3679
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3680
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3681
      directive.
3682
 
3683
    * GCC Toolkit
3684
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3685
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3686
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3687
      the point of termination.
3688
 
3689
    * Jats save_build utility
3690
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3691
      under windows.
3692
 
3693
    * Jats sandbox
3694
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3695
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3696
      in different sandboxes.
3697
 
3698
    * Jats release
3699
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

      directory.
3711
 
3712
    * jats label utility
3713
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3714
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3715
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3716
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3717

      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3736
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3737
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3738
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3742
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3743
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3744
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3745
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3746
      project files.
3747
 
3748
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3749
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3750
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3751
 
3752
Minor changes:
3753
    * Added more internal documentation
3754
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3755
 
3756
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3757
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3758
 
3759
    * Jats save_build utility
3760
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3761
      under windows.
3762
 
3763
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3764
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3765
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3766
      libraries.
3767
 
3768
    * Solaris builds
3769
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3770
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3771
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3772
      of the build failure.
3773
 
3774
 
3775
Internal changes:
3776
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3777
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3778
 
3779
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3780
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
3784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3785
Major changes:
3786
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3787
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3788
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3789
      existing 32-bit builds.
3790
 
3791
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3792
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3793
 
3794
Minor changes:
3795
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3796
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3797
 
3798
    * Package searching
3799
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3800
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3801
 
3802
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3803
 
3804
    * jats help
3805
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3806
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3807
 
3808
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3809
      with one of:
3810
        jats -h
3811
        jats help jats
3812
 
3813
Internal:
3814
    * cmdfile utility
3815
      Added macros:
3816
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3817
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3818
 
3819
      Corrected
3820
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3821
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3822
 
3823
      Extended
3824
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3825
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3826
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3827
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3832
Major changes:
3833
 
3834
Minor changes:
3835
 
3836
Internal changes
3837
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3838
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3839
      Useful side effects include:
3840
 
3841
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3842
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3843
 
3844
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3845
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3846
 
3847
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3848
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3849
        BuildPkgArchive
3850
 
313 dpurdie 3851
    * Perl Modules
3852
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3853
      release. This will:
3854
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3855
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3856
          reported by ERG.
3857
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3862
Major changes:
3863
 
3864
Minor changes:
3865
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3866
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3867
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3868
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3869
 
3870
    * Jats label utility
3871
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3872
 
3873
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3874
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3875
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3876
 
3877
    * Jats core
3878
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3879
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3880
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3889
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3890
      This is now fixed.
3891
 
309 dpurdie 3892
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3893
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3894
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3895
 
3896
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3897
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3905
    * Generating makefiles
3906
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3907
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3908
      an error.
3909
 
3910
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3911
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3912
 
3913
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3914
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3920
Major changes:
3921
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3922
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3923
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3924
 
3925
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3926
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3927
 
3928
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3929
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3930
      Support includes
3931
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3932
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3933
 
3934
Minor changes:
3935
    * Build file processing
3936
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3937
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3938
 
3939
    * MOS builds
3940
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3941
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3942
 
3943
    * MOS builds
3944
      New 'known' product: PICP
3945
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3946
 
3947
    * GenerateFiles directive
3948
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3949
        under windows.
3950
 
3951
        .
3952
 
3953
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3954
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3955
 
3956
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3957
      to the output stream.
3958
 
3959
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3960
 
3961
    * Windows Shell
3962
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3963
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3964
 
3965
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3966
 
3967
    * H8S toolset
3968
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3969
 
3970
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3971
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3972
 
3973
Internal changes
3974
    * WinCe builds
3975
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3976
      content of the file.
3977
 
3978
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3979
 
3980
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3981
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

3995
Minor changes:
3996
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
3997
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
3998
      Changes are transparent to users.
3999
 
4000
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4001
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4002
      this occurs.
4003
 
4004
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4005
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4006
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4007
      automated build framework.
4008
 
4009
    * jats sandbox command
4010
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4011
      'create' command.
4012
 
4013
    * jats command aliases. Added
4014
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4015
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4020
Major changes:
4021
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4022
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4023
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4024
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4025
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4026
      will work as expected
4027
 
4028
Minor changes:
4029
    * VS2008 Toolset
4030
      Picking up incorrect config details
4031
      May result in a warning message.
4032
 
4033
    * gen_cots utility
4034
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4035
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4036
 
4037
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4038
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4086
Major changes:
4087
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4088
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4089
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4090
 
4091
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4092
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4093
 
4094
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4095
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4096
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4097
           names cannot be changed.
4098
 
4099
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4100
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4101
 
4102
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4103
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4104
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4105
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4106
 
4107
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4108
      file.
4109
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4110
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4111
      MyPackage.dpk.
4112
 
4113
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4114
      file.
4115
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4116
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4117
      MyDll.dpr.
4118
 
4119
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4120
      file.
4121
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4122
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4123
      MyProg.dpr.
4124
 
4125
Minor changes:
4126
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4127
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4128
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4129
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4130
 
4131
    * BuildVersion directive
4132
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4133
      in a Delphi Unit.
4134
 
4135
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4136
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4137
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4138
      'know' the location of the files.
4139
 
4140
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4141
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4142
 
4143
Internal Changes:
4144
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4145
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4146
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4147
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4148
 
4149
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4150
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4151
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4156
Major changes:
4157
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4158
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4159
      information for purely C++ builds.
4160
 
289 dpurdie 4161
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4162
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4163
 
289 dpurdie 4164
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4165
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4166
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4167
 
4168
Minor changes:
4169
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

4171
 
4172
    * updatenodespec utility
4173
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4174

4198
 
4199
Minor changes:
4200
    * MergeLibrary directive
4201

4211
    * New command: jats make show
4212
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4213
      used in the build.
4214
 
4215
    * Escrow command
4216
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4217
 
4218
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4219
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4220
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4221
 
4222
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4223
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

277 dpurdie 4227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4228
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4229
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4230
 
279 dpurdie 4231
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4232
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4233
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4234
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4235
 
4236
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4237
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4238
 
4239
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4240
 
4241
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4242
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4243
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4244
 
4245
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4246
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4247
        processed.
4248
 
4249
      Removed the '-delete' option
4250
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4251
 
277 dpurdie 4252
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4253
    * Sandbox command
4254
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4255
 
4256
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4257
      target from consideration in the build set.
4258
 
4259
    * MCR Toolset
4260
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4261
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4262
 
4263
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4264
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4265
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4266
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4267
 
4268
    * Jats run_test command
4269
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4270
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4271
 
4272
    * descpkg file
4273
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4274
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4275
 
4276
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4277
     Now contains build trace information
4278
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4279
 
4280
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4281
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4282
     it contains 'jar' files.
4283
 
4284
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4285
 
4286
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4287
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4288
 
4289
   * BuildVersion directive
4290
     Form:
4291
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4292
     now works as expected.
4293
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4294
 
4295
Internal Changes:
4296
 
4297
    * Error reporting mechanism
4298
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4299
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4300
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4311
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4312
    then starts.
4313
 
4314
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4315
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4316
 
4317
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4318
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4319
    non-platform option.
4320
 
279 dpurdie 4321
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4340
 
4341
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4342
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4343
 
4344
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars

4386
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
4387
 
4388
Internal Changes:
4389
    * Environment
4390
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
4391
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
4460
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4461
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4462

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
4476
 
4477
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
4478
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4479
 
4480
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
4481
      New options:

        no_define_source_file
4483
        define_source_file              (Default)
4484
 
4485
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4486
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4487
 
4488
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4489
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4490
      compatibility.
4491
 
4492
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

            --InstallProgProd=list
4496
            --InstallProg=list
4497
 
4498
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4499
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4500
      GenerateCab.
4501
 
4502
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

4654
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4655
      Previously was being done at two places
4656
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4657
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

4738
         Support extends to allow:
4739
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4740
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4741
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4742
 
4743
        VS2005
4744
         Support extends to allow:
4745
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4746
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4747
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4748
 
4749
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4750
      through a version selector:
4751
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4752
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4753
 
4754
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4755
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4756
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4757
 
4758
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4759
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4760
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4761
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4762
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4763
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4764
          under VS2005.
4765
 
4766
Minor changes:
4767
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
4772
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4773
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4774
 
4775
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4776
 
4777
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4778
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4779
 
4780
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4781
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4782
      a minimal value of perl.
4783
 
4784
      Removed excessive require statements.
4785

4790
        2) Linux
4791
 
4792
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4793
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4794
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4795
      machines.
4796
 
4797
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4798

4802
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4803
 
4804
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4805
      wrapper scripts.
4806
 
4807
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4808
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4809
      Spell check help and code.

4894
  * Mug File Generation
4895
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4896
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4897
 
4898
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4899
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4900
    required.
4901
 
4902
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4903
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4904
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4905
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4906
    the files in order to use them.
4907
 
4908
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4909
    locate the file.
4910
 
4911
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4912
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4913
 
4914
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4915
        * CSharp
4916
        * Properties
4917
        * WinRC
4918
 
4919
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4920
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4921
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4922
    Value is correctly assigned.
4923

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4926
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4927
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4928
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4929
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4930
 
4931
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4932
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4933
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4934
 
4935
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4936
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4937
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4938
 
4939
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4940
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4941
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4942
 
4943
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4944
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4945
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4946
    correct.
4947
 
4948
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4949
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4950
 
4951
Minor changes:
4952
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4953
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4954
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4955
 
4956
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4957
    This will simplify new user setup.
4958
 
4959
  * All Unix Toolsets
4960
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4961
    on unix systems
4962
 
4963
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4964
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4965
    on some Solaris Machines.
4966
 
4967
  * JATS -version=<version>
4968
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4969
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4970
 
4971

    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 4976
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 4977
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4978
 
4979
Minor changes:
4980
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4981
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4982
 
4983
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4984
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets

4986
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
4987
      Does not work with LMOS
4988
 
4989
    * Readme.txt file
4990
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
4991
 
4992
    * Misc Cleanup
4993
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
4994
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
5001
    Force compiler option -nOj
5002
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
5003
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
5012
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
5013
 
5014
  * JATS builds
5015
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
5016
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
5017
    mode.
5018
 
5019
  * JATS makefiles
5020
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5021
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5022
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5023
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5024
                            SetList directive.
5025
 
5026

5033
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
5034
 
5035
  * JATS buildfile processing
5036
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5037
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5038
    of JATS.
5039
 
5040
  * JATS save_build utility
5041
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
5042
    which may be reserved.
5043
 
5044

5045
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
5046
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
5047
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
5048
 
5049
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
5050

    * Escrow tool
5060
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
5061
      description.

Minor changes:
239 dpurdie 5069
    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
5070
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5071
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5072
 
5073
    * MOS Toolset
5074
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5075
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5076
 
5077
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
5078
      can have production (PIC) components.
5079

5085
 
5086
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
5087
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
5088
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
5089
      Previously only worked on Windows

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
5115
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
5116
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 5117
 
235 dpurdie 5118
      In this release there is no support for native compilation and linking.

231 dpurdie 5122
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 5123
    * Extract/Release utility.
5124
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
5125
      that can handle spaces
5126
 
5127
    * MOS Compiler
5128
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5129
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5130
 
5131
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5132
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5133
      descpkg files to be copied.
5134
 
5135
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5136
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
5137
 
5138
    * JATS ANT command
5139
      Better selection of the ant build file
5140
 
5141
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
5142
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
5143
      embedded in the .RC file.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 5151
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5152
 
5153
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5154
      <project> field.
5155
 
5156
    * CCdiff utility
5157
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
5158
 
5159
    * Escrow utility
5160
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
5161
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

Major changes:
5169
 
5170
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5171
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5172
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5173
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5174
 
5175
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5176
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5177
 
5178
    * Jats wrapper
5179
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5180
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5181

Version: 2.72.00000.cr                                Released: 11-Jan-08
5184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5185
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5186
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5187
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5188
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5189
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5190
 
5191
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5192
 
5193
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5194
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5195
 
5196
    * Running Jats
5197
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5198
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5199
      This may affect some windows developers.
5200
 
5201
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5202
      Future versions will generate an error.
5203
 
5204
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5205
 
5206
Minor changes:
5207
    * Perl Version Check
5208
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5209
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5210
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5211
 
5212
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5213
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5214
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5215
      build.
5216
 
5217
    * Jats Internals
5218
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5219
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5220
 
5221
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5222
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5223
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5224
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5225
      process.
5226
 
5227
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5228
      Only works under Windows.
5229
 
5230
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5231
 
5232
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5233
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5234
 
5235
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5236
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5237
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5238
 
5239
    * Jats eprog
5240
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5241
      directory.
5242
 
5243
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5244
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5245
      build metrics.
5246
 
5247

227 dpurdie 5248
Version: 2.71.6.cr                                Released: 18-Dec-07
5249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5250
Major changes:
5251
 
5252
Minor changes:
5253
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5254
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5255
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5256
      automated build system. New options are:
5257
        -pname=Package_Name
5258
        -pversion=Package_Version
5259
 
5260
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5261
      transferring the package. New options are:
5262
        -test
5263
 
5264
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5265
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5266
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5267
 
5268
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5269
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5270
 
5271
    * Solaris Toolset
5272
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5273
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5274
      programs are still supported.
5275

5277
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
5278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5279
Major changes:
5280
 
5281
Minor changes:
5282
    * WINCE toolsets
5283
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5284
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5285
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5286
      when header files cannot be found.
5287
 
5288
    * GenerateFiles directive
5289
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5290
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5291
      that are difficult to solve.

5297
    * Jats Tool: label
5298
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5299
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5300
      -dirs=xxx options.
5301
 
5302
    * Jats Tool: release
5303
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5304
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5305
 
5306
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5307
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5308
 
5309
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5310
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5311
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5312
 
5313

      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5379
 
5380
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'

5389
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5390
 
5391
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5392
      inconsistent packages.
5393
 
5394
    * jats make help
5395
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5396
      available within the current build.
5397
 
5398
    * jats makefiles
5399
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5400
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5401
 
5402
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5403
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5404
 
5405
    * gcc toolset
5406
      SharedLibries.
5407
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5408
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5409
 
5410
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5411
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5412
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5413
 
5414
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5415
        New options:
5416
            --MultiScan
5417
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5418
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5419
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5425
Major changes:
5426
 
5427
Minor changes:
5428
    PackageLib directive
5429
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5430
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5431
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5432
 
5433
    MakefileGenerate directive
5434
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5435
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5436
 
5437
    Multiple Parent detection
5438
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5439
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5440
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5441
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5442
 
5443
    Solaris Toolset
5444
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5445
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5446
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5447
    link.
5448
 
5449
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5450
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5451
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5452
 
5453
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5454
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5455
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5456
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5461
Major changes:
5462
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5463
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5464
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5465
 
5466
    Summary of changes:
5467
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5468
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5469
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5470
          flexibility.
5471
 
5472
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5473
 
5474
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5475
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5476
          interface directory and associated build information.
5477
 
5478
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5479
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5480
          than one second.
5481
 
5482
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5483
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5484
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5485
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5486
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5487
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5488
 
5489
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5490
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5491
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5492
 
5493
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5494
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5495
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5496
          building them.
5497
 
5498
        - Detection of build file changes
5499
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5500
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5501
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5502
 
5503
        - Quieter make output
5504
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5505
 
5506
 
5507
Minor changes:
5508
    MakeAnt Directive
5509
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5510
 
5511
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5512
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5513
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5514
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5515
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5516
 
5517
    CSHARP toolset
5518
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories

5528
 
5529
    MakeAnt
5530
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5531
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5532
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5533
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5534

    New option: --PackageBase
5547
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5548
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5549
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5550
 
5551
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5552
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5553
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5554
        package image being created.

    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5576
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5577
 
5578
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5579
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5580
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5581

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5614
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5615
 
5616
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5617
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5618
      last.
5619
 
5620
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5621
 
5622
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5623
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5624
 
5625
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5626
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5627
 
5628
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5629
 
5630
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5631
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5632
 
5633
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5634
 
5635
 
5636
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5637

5661
Major changes:
5662
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5663
 
5664
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5665
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5666
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5667
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5668
      path.
5669
 
5670
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5671
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5672
      reproducible.
5673
 
5674
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5675
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5676
 
5677
      There are several aspects to the change
5678
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5679
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5680
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5681
 
5682
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5683
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5684
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5685
          controlled separately.
5686
 
5687
Minor changes:
5688
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5689
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5690
        Remove duplicates
5691
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5695
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5696
Major changes:
5697
 
5698
Minor changes:
5699
    * Makefile sanity test
5700
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5701
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5702
 
5703
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5704
      x86 machine.
5705
 
5706
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5707
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5708
 
5709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5710
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5711
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5712
Major changes:
5713
    * RunTest directive
5714
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5715
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5716
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5717
 
5718
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5719
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5720
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5721
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5722
 
5723
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5724
        builder within the current toolset.
5725
 
5726
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5727
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5728
 
5729
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5730
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5731
      containing the RunTest directive.
5732
 
5733
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5734
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5735
 
5736
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5737
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5738
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5739
 
5740
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5741
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5742
                            P or D suffix.
5743
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5744
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5745
 
5746
Minor changes:
5747
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5748
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5749
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5750
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5751
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5752
 
5753
    * Save Build Utility
5754
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5755
      used in a ripple build.
5756
 
5757
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5758
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5759
 
5760
    * Release Utility
5761
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5762
      when an error is encountered.
5763
 
5764
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5765
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5766
 
5767
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5768
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5769
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5770
 
5771
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5772
      before the makefiles are created.
5773
 
5774
    * TestProg directive
5775
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5776
 
5777
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5778
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5779

5782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5783
Major changes:
5784
    * New build target
5785
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5786
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5787
 
5788
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5789
            DEVLINUX
5790
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5791
 
5792
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5793
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5794
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5795
 
5796
Minor changes:
5797
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5798
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5799
 
5800
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5801
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5802
 
5803
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5804
      and .cs files.
5805
 
5806
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5807
      thing.
5808
 
5809
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5810
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5811
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5812
      were it places temp files.
5813
 
5814
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5815
      interaction with other builds.
5816
 
5817
    * Release utility command
5818
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5819
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5820
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
5828
 
5829
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5830
 
5831
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5832
    libraries
5833
 
5834
Minor changes:
5835
  * Unit Tests
5836
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5837
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5838
 
5839
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

5875
        TP5600
5876
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5877
        TP5600_EMU

        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5879
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5880
 
5881
  * Deployment
5882
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5883
 
5884
  * build.pl
5885
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5886
 
5887
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5888
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5889
 
5890
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5891
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5892
    build.
5893
 
5894
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5895
 
5896
  * Tool: escrow
5897
     New features
5898
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5899
     are not in the SBOM.
5900
 
5901
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5902

5907
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5909
Major changes:
5910
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5911
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5912
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5913
 
5914
  * GenerateFiles
5915
    Added the options:
5916
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5917
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5918
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5919
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5920
 
5921
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5922
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5923
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5924
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5925
                                  required.
5926
 
5927
 
5928
Minor changes:
5929
  * GenerateFile directive
5930
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5931
 
5932
  * GCC Toolset
5933
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5934
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5935
    be rebuilt.
5936
 
5937
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5938
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5939
 
5940
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5941
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5943
Major changes:
5944
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5945
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5946
    environment variables.
5947
 
5948
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5949
            moved.
5950
 
5951
    This will affect users that:
5952
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5953
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5954
 
5955
        2) Use the ABT system
5956
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5957
           the required configuration
5958
 
5959
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5960
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5961
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5962
    Windows
5963
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5964
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5965
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5966
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5967
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5968
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5969
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5970
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5971
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5972
 
5973
 
5974
  * New build platforms
5975
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5976
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5977
 
5978
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5979
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5980
 
5981
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5982
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5983
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5984
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
5985
 
5986
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
5987
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
5988
    release.
5989
 
5990
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
5991
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
5992
 
5993
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
5994
    need to be converted.
5995
 
5996
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
5997
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
5998
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
5999
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6000
    used for different targets platforms.
6001
 
6002
  * Sandbox support
6003
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6004
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6005
 
6006
    New command: jats sandbox ...

6014
Major changes:
6015
  * MakeAnt directive
6016
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6017
 
6018
    New options
6019
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6020
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6021
 
6022
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6023
    run_unit_tests phase.
6024
 
6025
  * Sandbox support
6026
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6027
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6028
 
6029
Minor changes:
6030
  * jats build
6031
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6032
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6033
 
6034
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6035
 
6036
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6037
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6038
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6039
 
6040
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6041
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6042
 
6043
  * JATS.BAT
6044
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6045
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6046
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6047
 
6048
  * jats label
6049
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6050
 
6051

    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6061
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6062
    describe the group of platforms.
6063
 
6064
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6065
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6066
    build these targets.
6067
 
6068
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6069
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6070
 
6071
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6072
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6073
 
6074
  * New build platform: WINCE
6075
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6076
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6077
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6078
 
6079
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6080
            WCEIT3000
6081
            WCEPA961
6082
            WCEPA962
6083
            WCEPCM7220
6084
            WCEPSION_420
6085
            WCEPSPC_arm
6086
            WCEPSPC_emu
6087
            WCEX86A420
6088
            WCEX86A500
6089
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6090
 
6091
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6092
 
6093
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6094
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6095
    that contain packaging directives.
6096
 
6097
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6098
    very unusual configurations.
6099
 
6100
Minor changes:
6101
  * Directive: PackageFile
6102
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6103
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6104
    an '='.
6105
 
6106
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6107
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6108
 
6109
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6110
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6111
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6112
 
6113
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6114
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6115
 
6116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6117
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6119
Major changes:
6120
 
6121
  * JATS release command
6122
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6123
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6124
 
6125
    Rules are:
6126
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6127
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6128
                            File will be placed on a branch
6129
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6130
                            New directory will branch
6131
 
6132
Minor changes:
6133
  * JATS release command
6134
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6135
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6136
 
6137
  * JATS label command
6138
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6139
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6140
 
6141
  * JATS make
6142
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6143
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6144
    was re-packaged.
6145
 
6146
  * JATS escrow
6147
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6148
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6149
 
6150
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6151
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6152
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6153
 
6154
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6155
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6156
    interface directory.
6157
 
6158
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6159
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6160
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6161
    directory as seen by the package.
6162
 
6163
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6164
 
6165
  * JAVA 6
6166
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6167
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6168
 
6169
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6170
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6171
 
6172
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6173
 
6174
  * Jats command: vars
6175
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6176
    These indicate potential problems.
6177
 
6178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6179
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6181
Major changes:
6182
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6183
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6184
    libarry is also created.
6185
 
6186
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6187
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6188
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6189
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6190
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6191
    information contained within the file.
6192
 
6193
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6194
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6195
 
6196
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6197
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6198
 
6199
  * Building Perl Modules
6200
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6201
    documentation on the build machine.
6202
 
6203
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6204
 
6205
Minor changes:
6206
  * jats create_dpkg
6207
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6208
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6209
 
6210
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6211
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6212
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6213
Major changes:
6214
  * JATS JAVA build target
6215
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6216
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6217
 
6218
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6219
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6220
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6221
    is then picked up as the default version.
6222
 
6223
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6224
    build.pl file.
6225
 
6226
Minor changes:
6227
  * jats release
6228
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6229
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6230
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6231
 
6232
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6233
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6234
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6235
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6236
    the name of the view.
6237
 
6238
  * GenerateFiles directive
6239
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6240
 
6241
  * MOS Toolset
6242
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6243
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6244
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6245
 
6246
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6247
 
6248
 
6249
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6250
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6252
Major changes:
6253
 
6254
Minor changes:
6255
  * JATS environment
6256
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6257
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6258
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6259
 
6260
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6261
 
6262
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6263
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6264
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6265
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6266
    to be packaged.
6267
 
6268
  * Generated makefiles
6269
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6270
 
6271
  * Generating MOS THX files
6272
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6273
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6274
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6275
 
6276
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6277
 
6278
  * JATS release
6279
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6280
 
6281
  * JATS extract
6282
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6283
 
6284
  * JATS Toolset
6285
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6286
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6287
 
6288
 
6289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6290
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6292
Major changes:
6293
 
6294
Minor changes:
6295
  * jats label
6296
    Added a -vob=name option
6297
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6298
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6299
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6300
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6301
 
6302
    Added a -user=name option
6303
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6304
    label to the named user.
6305
 
6306
  * jats release
6307
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6308
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6309
 
6310
  * JATS build.pl
6311
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6312
    ie:
6313
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6314
 
6315
 
6316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6317
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6319
Major changes:
6320
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6321
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6322
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6323
    the makefile internals. ie:
6324
        --Var(BuildName)
6325
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6326
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6327
 
6328
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6329
 
6330
  * GenerateFiles
6331
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6332
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6333
 
6334
  * BuildPlatforms
6335
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6336
 
6337
Minor changes:
6338
  * GCC Toolset
6339
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6340
 
6341
Internal changes:
6342
  * GenerateFiles
6343
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6344
 
6345
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6346
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6347
 
6348
 
6349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6350
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6351
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6352
Major changes:
6353
  * Caching JATS
6354
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6355
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6356
 
6357
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6358
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6359
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6360
 
6361
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6362
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6363
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6364
 
6365
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6366
 
6367
Minor changes:
6368
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6369
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6370
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6371
 
6372
  * jats build
6373
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6374
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6375
    processed by the build.
6376
 
6377
  * jats build
6378
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6379
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6380
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6381
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6382
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6383
 
6384
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6385
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6386
    Path is not specified.
6387
 
6388
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6389
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6390
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6391
        --Dir=$Pinc
6392
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6393
 
6394
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6395
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6396
    Windows platform.
6397
 
6398
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6399
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6400
            by 'purecov.
6401
 
6402
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6403
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6404
 
6405
        - OPTIONS=purify
6406
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6407
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6408
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6409

6412
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6414
Major changes:
6415
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6416
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6417
    Example:
6418
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6419
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6420
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6421
 
6422
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6423
    been determined.
6424
 
6425
Minor changes:
6426
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6427
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6428
    located at build-time.
6429
 
6430
  * Unix based systems
6431
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6432
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6433
 
6434
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6435
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6436
    driver being built.
6437
 
6438
 
6439
------------------------------------------------------------------------

6442
Major changes:
6443
 
6444
 
6445
Minor changes:
6446
  * jats_rewrite tool
6447
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
6448
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6449
 
6450
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6451
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6452
 
6453
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6454
    dependancy information within a package.
6455
 
6456
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6457
    messages.
6458
 
6459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6460
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
6461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6462
Major changes:
6463
  * makefile.pl directives
6464
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
6465
 
6466
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6467
 
6468
    GenerateFiles.
6469
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6470
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6471
                      be run on every invocation.
6472
 
6473
 
6474
Minor changes:
6475
  * Added the jats version command
6476
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
6477
 
6478
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6479
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6480
  There are two mechanism:
6481
 
6482
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6483
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6484
 
6485
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6486
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6487
 
6488
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6489
  default.
6490
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6491
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6492

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6496
Major changes:
6497
  * SunWorks Toolset
6498
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6499
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6500
    It is based on machine type.
6501
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6502
 
6503
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6504
 
6505
Minor changes:
6506

6514
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6515
Major changes:
6516
  * GCC Toolset
6517
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6518
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6519

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6529
    field separator.
6530
 
6531
  * JATS eprog command
6532
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6533
 
6534
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6535
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6536
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6537
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6538
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6539
 
6540
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6541
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6542
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6543
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6544
 
6545
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6546
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6558
 
6559
 
6560
Minor changes:
6561
  * JATS wrapper script
6562
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6563
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6564
    to setup links to system programs.
6565

6585
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6586
    Added CompileOptions
6587
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6588
        no_misalign         - Default
6589
 
6590
        multithread         - Default
6591
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6592
 
6593
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6594
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6595
 
6596
        prod_no_optimise
6597
        prod_no_debuginfo

        debug_debuginfo
6605
 
6606
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6607
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6608
    Theses are:
6609
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6610
        SOLARIS_AMD
6611
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6612
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6613
 
6614
Minor changes:
6615
  * AT3232 toolset
6616
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6625
Major changes:
6626
 
6627
Minor changes:
6628
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6629
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6630
    messages
6631
 
6632
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6633
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6634
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6635
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6636
 
6637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6638
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6639
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6640
Major changes:
6641
 
6642
Minor changes:
6643
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6644
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6645
    library without creating the body of the library:
6646
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6647
 
6648
 
6649
  * MOS toolsets
6650
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6651
    library without creating the body of the library:
6652
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6653
 
6654
  * JATS BIN directories
6655
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6656
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6657
    using autoconf.
6658
 
6659
  * Generate directive
6660
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6661
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6662
 
6663
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6664
 
6665
 
6666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6667
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6669
Major changes:
6670
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6671
    Initial release.
6672
 
6673
Minor changes:
6674

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6677
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6679
Major changes:
6680
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6681
    Initial release.
6682
 
6683
  * Packaging directives
6684
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6685
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6686
 
6687
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6688
        SOLARIS
6689
        WIN32
6690
 
6691
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6692
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6693
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6694
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6695
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6696
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6697
 
6698
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6699
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6700
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6701
 
6702
 
6703
Minor changes:
6704
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6705
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6706
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6707
 
6708
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6709
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6710
    location
6711
 
6712
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6713
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6714
 
6715
  * Utility genrc
6716
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6717
 
6718
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6719
    Added option: -new
6720
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6721
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6722
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6723
 
6724
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6725
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6726
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6727
 
6728
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6729
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6730
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6731
 
6732
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6733
   features - in a uniform manner.
6734
 
6735
 
6736
Internal Changes:
6737
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6738
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6739
 
6740
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6741
        1) Platform information available at build time
6742
        2) Dynamic platform names
6743
 
6744
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6745
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6746
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6747
 
6748
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6749
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6750
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6751
 
6752
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6753
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6754
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6755
    needed.
6756
 
6757
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6758
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6759
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6760
    files from all of these.
6761
 
6762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6763
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6765
Major changes:
6766
 
6767
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6772
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6774
Major changes:
6775
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6776
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6777
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6778
 
6779
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6780
 
6781
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6782
    the operations.
6783
 
6784
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6785
 
6786
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6787
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6788
 
6789
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6790
 
6791
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6792
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6793
 
6794
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6795
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6796
    Extended the built-in help
6797
    Added useful error messages
6798
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6799
 
6800
  * WinCE toolset
6801
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6802
 
6803
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6804
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6805
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6806
 
6807
Minor changes:
6808
  * JATS wrapper script
6809
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6810
    the command line.
6811
 
6812
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6813
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6814
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6815
 
6816
Internal Changes:
6817
  * Common Error Reporting
6818
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6819
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6820
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6821
    level.
6822
 
6823
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6824
    displayed.
6825
 
6826
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6827
 
6828
  * Added JatsSystem module
6829
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6830
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6838
    .def files to include other files.
6839
 
6840
  * IAR toolset
6841
    Added AT7272 support
6842
 
6843
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6844
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6845
 
6846

6852
  * BR Compiler toolset
6853
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6854
    use.
6855
 
6856
 
6857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6858
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6860
Major changes:
6861
 
6862
Minor changes:
6863
  * Mictotec toolset
6864
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6865
    builds.
6866
 
6867
  * JATS Core
6868
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6869
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6870
    behaviour.
6871
 
6872
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6873
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6875
Major changes:
6876
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6877
    Deployment package will be affected.
6878
 
6879
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6880
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6881
 
6882
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6883
 
6884
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6885
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6886
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6887
    packages.
6888
 
6889
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6890
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6891
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6892
 
6893
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6894
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6895
 
6896
Minor changes:
6897
  * SubDir directive
6898
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6899
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6900
 
6901
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6902
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6903
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6904
    of the file usage.
6905
 
6906
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6907
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6908
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6909
 
6910
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6911
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6912
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6913
 
6914
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6915
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6916
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6917
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6918
 
6919
 
6920
Internal Changes:
6921
  * Code refactor
6922
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6923
 
6924
  * Deployment utilities
6925
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6926
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6927
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6928
    the module can locate the file.
6929
 
6930
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6931
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6932
 
6933
  * JATS core
6934
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6935
 
6936
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6937
 
6938
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6939
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6940
    through the use of environment variables.
6941
 
6942
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6943
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6944
 
6945
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6946
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6947
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6948
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6949
 
6950
  * Make environment
6951
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6952
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6953
 
6954

6956
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6958
Major changes:
6959
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6960
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6961
 
6962
 
6963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6964
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6966
 
6967
Not Released.
6968
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6969
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6970
 
6971
 
6972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6973
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6975
Major changes:
6976
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6977
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6978
    radically replaced.
6979
 
6980
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6981
    Usage:
6982
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6983
 
6984
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
6985
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
6986
    this solution:
6987
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
6988
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
6989
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
6990
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
6991
 
6992
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
6993
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
6994
    order to work.
6995
 
6996
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
6997
    reduced functionality.
6998
 
6999
 
7000
Minor changes:
7001
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7002
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7003
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7004
 
7005
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7006
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7007
    within the makefiles.
7008
        Options:
7009
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7010
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7011
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7012
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7013
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7014
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7015
        Useage:
7016
 
7017
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7018
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7019
 
7020
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7021
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7022
    is not in the current directory.
7023
 
7024
  * Jats Command: ant'
7025
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7026
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7027
 
7028
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7029
 
7030
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7031
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7032
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7033
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7034
 
7035
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7036
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7037
    Thus
7038
 
7039
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7040
 
7041
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7042
 
7043
 
7044
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7045
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7046
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7047
Major changes:
7048
 
7049
Minor changes:
7050
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7051
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7052
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7053
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7054
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7055
 
7056
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7057
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7058
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7059
 
7060
Internal changes:
7061
  * JATS toolsets
7062
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7063
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7064
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7065
 
7066
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7067
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7068
 
7069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7070
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7072
Major changes:
7073
  * Jats command: etool
7074
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7075
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7076
 
7077
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7078
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7079
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7080
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7081
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7082
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7083
 
7084
Minor changes:
7085
 
7086
 
7087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7088
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7090
Major changes:
7091
  * JATS environment variables
7092
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7093
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7094
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7095
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7096
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7097
 
7098
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7099
              Remote repository
7100
 
7101
    Added GBE_DPLY
7102
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7103
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7104
 
7105
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7106
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7107
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7108
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7109
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7110
 
7111
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7112
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7113
 
7114
 
7115
Minor changes:
7116
  * JATS utility: build
7117
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7118
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7119
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7120
 
7121
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7122
    Ensure label is not locked
7123
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7124
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7125
 
7126
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7127
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7128
    to a specific type of build.
7129
 
7130
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7131
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7132
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7133
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7134
 
7135
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7136
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7137
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7138
 
7139
  * JATS utility: release
7140
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7141
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7142
 
7143
  * JATS utility: label
7144
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7145
    when it is being created.
7146
 
7147
Internal Changes
7148
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7149
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7150
 
7151
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7152
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7153
 
7154
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7155
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7156
    different results.
7157
 
7158
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7159
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7160
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7161
 
7162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7163
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7165
Major changes:
7166
 
7167
  * MCR toolset
7168
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7169
 
7170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7171
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7172
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7173
Major changes:
7174
  * WIN32 utilities
7175
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7176
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7177
 
7178
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7179
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7180
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7181
 
7182
Minor changes:
7183
  * BuildVersion
7184
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7185
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7186
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7187
 
7188
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7189
 
7190
  * Unix Builds
7191
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7192
    library or a shared library.
7193
 
7194
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7195
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7196
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7197
    start with 'lib'.
7198
 
7199
  * BuildPkgArchive
7200
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7201
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7202
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7203
 
7204
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7205
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7206
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7207
Major changes:
7208
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7209
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7210
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7211
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7212
    being manually maintained.
7213
 
7214
 
7215
Minor changes:
7216
  * MakeAnt directive
7217
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7218
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7219
    supports ANT builds.
7220
 
7221
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7222
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7223
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7224
 
7225
  * Label utility
7226
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7227
    files to be labeled.
7228
 
7229
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7230
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7231
    on Solaris.
7232
 
7233
  * Generated makefiles
7234
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7235
    nothing.
7236
 
7237
  * MOS Toolset
7238
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7239
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7240
    modules.
7241
 
7242
  * Utility: gen_cots
7243
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7244
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7245
 
7246
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7247
 
7248
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7249
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7250
 
7251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7252
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7254
Major changes:
7255
  None
7256
 
7257
Minor changes:
7258
  * DEVI addressed
7259
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7260
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7261
 
7262
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7263
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7264
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7265
 
7266
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7267
 
7268
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7269
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7270
 
7271
  * RunTest directive
7272
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7273
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7274
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7275
 
7276
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7277
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7278
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7279
    packaged under JATS
7280
 
7281
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7282
          supported within JATS.
7283
 
7284
  * Jats utility wrapper
7285
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7286
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7287
 
7288
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7289
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7290
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7291
 
7292
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7293
    Eg: jats ant
7294
 
7295
  * Jats utility wrapper
7296
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7297
 
5710 dpurdie 7298
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7299
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7300
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7301
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7302
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7303
 
5710 dpurdie 7304
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7305
    expect a build.pl file.
7306
 
7307
  * Jats utility wrapper
7308
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7309
 
7310
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7311
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7312
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7313
 
7314
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7315
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7316
 
7317
  * Build files
7318
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7319
    VIX extensions.

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

7713
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7715
Major changes:
7716
    * Make commands
7717
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7718
 
7719
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7720
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7721
 
7722
    * Label utility
7723
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7724
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7725
 
7726
Minor changes:
7727
    * Toolsets
7728
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7729
      variables and overrides.
7730
 
7731
      The make_init target is always run.
7732
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7733
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7734
 
7735
    * Deployment
7736
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7737
      with deployment operations.
7738
 
7739
    * Release utility
7740
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7741
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7742
      restricted by options within the build.
7743
 
7744
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7745
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7746
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7747
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7748
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7749
 
7750
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7751
      directives.
7752
 
7753
    * MakeProject directive
7754
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7755
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7756
 
7757
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7758
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7759
      is preserved.
7760
 
7761
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7762
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7763
      statements.
7764
 
7765
    * Mugfile generation
7766
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7767
      be placed in the target package.
7768
 
7769
 
7770
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7771
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7772
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7773
Major changes:
7774
    * BuildVersion directive
7775
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7776
      number as well as a patch number.
7777
 
7778
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7779
      number.
7780
 
7781
Minor changes:
7782
    * AddFlags directives
7783
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7784
      duplicate flags being added.
7785
 
7786
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7787
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7788
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7789
 
7790
    * Mug File Generation
7791
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7792
 
7793
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7794
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7795
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7796
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7797
     directory.
7798
 
7799
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7800
     reproducible.
7801

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7803
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7804
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7805
Major changes:
7806
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7807
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7808
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7809
      longer a list of directories.
7810
 
7811
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7812
      done within the toolset.
7813
 
7814
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7815
 
7816
    * JATS environment variables
7817
      Redefined variable
7818
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7819
                          Previously was a list that included the
7820
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7821
 
7822
      New variable
7823
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7824
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7825
 
7826
 
7827
Minor changes:
7828
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7829
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7830
      target platforms to be extracted.
7831
 
7832
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7833
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7834
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7835
 
7836
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7837
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7838
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7839
 
7840
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7841
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7842
 
7843
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7844
      Support ANT based XML files
7845
 
7846
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7847
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7848
      structure.
7849
 
7850
    * makefile.pl's
7851
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7852
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7853
 
7854
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7855
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7856
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7857
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7858
 
7859
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7860
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7861
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7862
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7863
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7864
      -- Auto.
7865
 
7866
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7867
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7868
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7869
 
7870
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7871
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7872
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7873
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7874
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7875
 
7876
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7877
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7878
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7879
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7880
      installed on the machine.
7881
 
7882
    * WINCE Targets
7883
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7884
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7885
 
7886
 
7887
 
7888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7889
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7891
Major changes:
7892
    * WIN32 platforms
7893
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7894
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7895
      and installed packages.
7896
 
7897
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7898
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7899
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7900
 
7901
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7902
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7903
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7904
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7905
      searched when looking for libraries.
7906
 
7907
Minor changes:
7908
    * GenerateFiles directive
7909
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7910
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7911
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7912
                          and drive letter
7913
 
7914
    * Src directive
7915
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7916
      directory of a package.
7917
 
7918
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7919
 
7920
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7921
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7922
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7923
 
7924
    * jats_rewrite utility
7925
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7926
 
7927
 
7928
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7929
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7931
Major changes:
7932
    * SunWorks production builds
7933
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7934
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7935
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7936
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7937
      compiler documentation.
7938
 
7939
    * MOS Toolset
7940
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7941
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7942
 
7943
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7944
 
7945
Minor changes:
7946
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7947
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7948
      This should not affect current users.
7949
 
7950
    * Mugfile generation
7951
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7952
      specified.
7953
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7954
 
7955
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7958
Major changes:
7959
    MOS Toolset
7960
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7961
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7962
 
7963
Minor changes:
7964
    * Jats wrapper script
7965
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7966
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7967
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7968
 
7969
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7970
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7971
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7972
      may be suspect.
7973
 
7974
    * GenerateFiles directive
7975
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7976
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7977
 
7978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7979
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7981
Major changes:
7982
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7983
      build.xml files.
7984
 
7985
Minor changes:
7986
    * WIN32 toolset.
7987
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
7988
 
7989
    * MakeAnt
7990
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
7991
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
7992
 
7993
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
7994
 
7995
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
7996
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
7997
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
7998
 
7999
    * MakeAnt directive
8000
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8001
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8002
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8003
 
8004
      Recommended usage:
8005
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8006
 
8007
Internal Changes
8008
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
8009

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8013
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8014
Major changes:
8015
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8016
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8017
      files packaged into the release.
8018
 
8019
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8023
 
8024
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8025
      The recommended platform is:
8026
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8027
 
8028
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8029
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8030
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8031
      components.
8032
 
8033
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

8037
 
8038
Minor changes:
8039
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8040
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8041
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8042
      by the package to be accessed.
8043
 
8044
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8045
      application or visual studio.
8046
 
8047
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8048
      and the JATS Core path.
8049
 
8050
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8051
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8052
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8053
 
8054
    * MOS Toolset
8055
      Add support for the TPT device
8056
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8057
 
8058
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8059
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8060
 
8061
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8062
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8063
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8064
 
8065
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8066
 
8067
Internal Changes
8068
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8069
      in jats.pl
8070
 
8071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8072
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8073
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8074
Major changes:
8075
    * JATS wrapper script
8076
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8077
 
8078
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8079
 
8080
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8081
 
8082
Minor changes:
8083
    * Deployment support
8084
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8085
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8086
 
8087
    * 'build'
8088
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8089
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8090
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8091
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8092
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8093
 
8094
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8095
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8096
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8097
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8098
                                      the link phase.
8099
 
8100
    * BuildPkgArchive
8101
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8102
      Previously these were ignored.
8103
      Minor code cleanup
8104
 
8105
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8106
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8107
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8108
 
8109
    * SOLARIS targets
8110
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8111
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8112
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8113
 
8114
    * MugFile generation
8115
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8116
      included in the final package.
8117
 
8118
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8119
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8120
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8121
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8122
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8123
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8124
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8125
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8126
 
8127
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8128
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8129
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8130
            --Option=(some_text)
8131
            --Option=[some_text]
8132
            --Option={some_text}
8133
 
8134
Internal Changes
8135
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8136
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8137
      code.
8138
 
8139

8140
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8141
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8142
Major changes:
8143
    * JATS wrapper script
8144
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8145
 
8146
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8147
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8148
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8149
      other components.
8150
 
8151
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8152
 
8153
    * JATS
8154
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8155
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8156
 
8157
    * Build operations
8158
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8159
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8160
      packages.
8161
 
8162
    * Make operations
8163
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8164
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8165
 
8166
Minor changes:
8167
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8168
      deployment builds.
8169
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8170
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8171
 
8172
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8173
 
8174
    * build.pl
8175
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8176
        processed. Allows
8177
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8178
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8179
        production.
8180
 
8181
    * MOS toolset
8182
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8183
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8184
 
8185
    * create_dpkg utility
8186
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8187
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8188
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8189
      progress of the build.
8190
 
8191
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8192
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8193
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8194
      system.
8195
 
8196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8197
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8199
Major changes:
8200
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8201
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8202
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8203
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8204
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8205
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8206
 
8207
    * WCEX86A500 target
8208
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8209
 
8210
    * MOS Toolsets
8211
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8212
      the compiler.
8213
 
8214
    * RunTest directive
8215
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8216
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8217
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8218
 
8219
Minor changes:
8220
    * JATS BUILD
8221
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8222
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8223
      highlight bad settings.
8224
 
8225
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8226
      access to extensions.
8227
 
8228
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8229
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8231
Major changes:
8232
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8233
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8234
 
8235
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8236
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8237
      under unix.
8238
 
8239
Minor changes:
8240
    * label utility
8241
      Added options to:
8242
        o Delete a label
8243
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8244
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8245
 
8246
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8247
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8248
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8249
      Package directives.
8250
 
8251
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8252
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8253
      system.
8254
 
8255
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8256
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8258
Major changes:
8259
    * MOS Toolset
8260
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8261
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8262
 
8263
    * WIN32 Toolset
8264
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8265
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8266
      list.
8267
 
8268
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8269
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8270
 
8271
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8272
 
8273
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8274
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8275
 
8276
 
8277
Minor changes:
8278
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8279
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8280
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8281
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8282
      corrected.
8283
 
8284
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8285
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8286
 
8287
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8288
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8289
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8290
 
8291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8292
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8293
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8294
Major changes:
8295
    * WIN32 Toolset
8296
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8297
      use with multithreaded modes.
8298
 
8299
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8300
      --OnlyProd.
8301
 
8302
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8303
      within the makefile.pl.
8304
 
8305
Minor changes:
8306
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8307
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8308
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8309
      platforms.
8310
 
8311
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8312
 
8313

8314
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8315
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8316
Major changes:
8317
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8318
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8319
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8320
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8321
 
8322
    * Preliminary Support
8323
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8324
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8325
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8326
 
8327
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8328
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8329
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8330
 
8331
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8332
      building. The default build will build both.
8333
 
8334
Minor changes:
8335
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8336
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8337
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8338
 
8339
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8340
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8341
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8342
 
8343
 
8344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8345
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8347
Major changes:
8348
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8349
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8350
      or all.
8351
 
8352
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8353
      the library or program.
8354
 
8355
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8356
 
8357
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8358
      library or any debug files.
8359
 
8360
    * GenerateFiles
8361
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8362
 
8363
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8364
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8365
 
8366
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8367
              The filename of the prereq file
8368
 
8369
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8370
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8371
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8372
 
8373
 
8374
Minor changes:
8375
    * create_dpkg utility
8376
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8377
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8378
      the package has been altered.
8379

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8381
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8383
Major changes:
8384
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8385
      This is a WINCE target
8386
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8387
 
8388
    * New toolset
8389
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8390
 
8391
    * Modified toolset
8392
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8393
 
8394
    * Modified toolset
8395
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8396
 
8397
Minor changes:
8398
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8399
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8400
 
8401
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8402
 
8403
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8404
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8405
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8406
 
8407
      The change allows the construct
8408
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8409
      to be replaced by the simpler
8410
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8411
 
8412
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8413
      specified name.    
8414

8433
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8434
Major changes:
8435
    * The "package.pl" file.
8436
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8437
      package name being taken from the build name
8438
 
8439
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8440
      package Build Name.
8441
 
8442
Minor changes:
8443
    * create_dpkg utility
8444
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8445
 
8446

8452
    * Dependancy generator
8453
      Correct two common situations
8454
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8455
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8456
           ansi, but is often done.
8457
 
8458
    * GCC toolset
8459
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8460
      being created in the correct place.
8461
 
8462
    * jats "label"
8463
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8464
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8465
 
8466
 
8467
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8469
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8470
Major changes:
8471
 
8472
Minor changes:
8473
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8474
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8475
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8476
 
8477
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8478
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8479
 
8480
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8481
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8482
      package was not being transferred.
8483
 
8484

8487
Major changes:
8488
    * Support for solaris_i386
8489
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8490
      binaries for this target.
8491
 
8492
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8493
      with the GCC compiler.
8494
 
8495
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8496
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8497
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8498
 
8499
Minor changes:
8500
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8501
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8502
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8503
 
8504
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8505
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8506
 
8507
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8508
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8509
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8510
Major changes:
8511
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8512
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8513
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8514
 
8515
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8516
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8517
 
8518
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8519
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8520
      with either " or ' characters.
8521
 
8522
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8523
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8524
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8525
 
8526
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8527
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8528
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8529
 
8530
    * Jats wrapper
8531
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8532
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8533
      further commands.
8534
 
8535
Minor changes:
8536
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8537
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8538
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8539
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8540
 
8541
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8542
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8543
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8544
Major changes:
8545
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8546
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8547
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8548
 
8549
      These options operation affect all components within the
8550
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8551
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8552
 
8553
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8554
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8555
 
8556
Minor changes:
8557
 
8558
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8559
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8560
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8561
Major changes:
8562
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8563
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8564
 
8565
Minor changes:
8566
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8567
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8568
 
8569
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8570
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8571
 
8572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8573
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8574
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8575
Major changes:
8576
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8577
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8578
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8579
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8580
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8581
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8582
      installed.
8583
 
8584
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8585
      libraries that depend on each other.
8586
 
8587
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8588
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8589
 
8590
Minor changes:
8591
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8592
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8593
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8594
 
8595
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8596
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8597
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8598
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8599
 
8600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8601
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8602
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8603
Major changes:
8604
 
8605
Minor changes:
8606
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8607
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8608
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8609
      file.
8610
 
8611
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8612
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8613
 
8614
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8615
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8616
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8617
 
8618
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8619
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8620
 
8621
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8622
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8623
 
8624
    * WinCE toolsets
8625
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8626
      compiler specific libraries.
8627
 
8628
    * SOLARIS toolset
8629
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8630
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8631
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8632
 
8633
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8634
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8635
      cleaned up.
8636
 
8637
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8638
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8639
 
8640
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8641
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8642
      with either " or ' characters.
8643
 
8644
 
8645
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8646
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8648
Major changes:
8649
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8650
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8651
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8652
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8653
 
8654
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8655
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8656
 
8657
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8658
      user.
8659
 
8660
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8661
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8662
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8663
 
8664
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8665
      for the   -Gf option.
8666
 
8667
Minor changes:
8668
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8669
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8670
 
8671
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8672
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8673
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8674
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8675
 
8676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8677
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8679
Major changes:
8680
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8681
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8682
 
8683
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8684
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8685
      data addresses for the board.
8686
 
8687
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8688
 
8689
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8690
 
8691
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8692
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8693
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8694
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8695
         PackageFile
8696
 
8697
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8698
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8699
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8700
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8701
 
8702
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8703
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8704
      to be installed and packaged.
8705
 
8706
Minor changes:
8707
 
8708
    * cache_dpkg utility
8709
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8710
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8711
 
8712
    * label utility
8713
      New option -auto to create and label
8714
 
8715
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8716
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8717
 
8718
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8719
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8720
      directory. ie:
8721
 
8722
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8723
 
8724
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8725
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8726
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8727
 
8728
 
8729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8730
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8731
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8732
Major changes:
8733
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8734
 
8735
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8736
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8737
 
8738
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8739
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8740
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8741
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8742
 
8743
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8744
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8745
      compilation.
8746
 
8747
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8748
 
8749
Minor changes:
8750
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8751
      one is being produced.
8752
 
8753
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8754
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8755
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8756
 
8757
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8758
 
8759
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8760
 
8761
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8762
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8763
 
8764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8765
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8767
Major changes:
8768
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8769
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8770
 
8771
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8772
 
8773
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8774
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8775
      same directory
8776
 
8777
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8778
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8779
      documenattion.
8780
 
8781
Minor changes:
8782
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8783
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8784
 
8785
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8786
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8787
 
8788
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8789
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8790
 
8791
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8792
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8793
 
8794
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8795
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8796
      be exempt from this test.
8797
 
8798
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8799
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8800
 
8801
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8802
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8803
 
8804
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8805
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8806
      does.
8807
 
8808
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8809
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8810
 
8811
 
8812
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8813
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8814
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8815
Major changes:
8816
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8817
 
8818
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8819
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8820
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8821
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8822
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8823
 
8824
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8825
      operations.
8826
 
8827
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8828
 
8829
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8830
 
8831
Minor changes
8832
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8833
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8834
 
8835
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8836
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8837
      directory is not added to the library path.
8838
 
8839
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8840
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8841
 
8842
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8843
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8844
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8845
 
8846
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8847
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8848
      specific flags.
8849
 
8850
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8851
 
8852
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8853
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8854
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8855
 
8856
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8857
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8858
      JATS.
8859
 
8860
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8861
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8862
 
8863
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8864
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8865
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8866
 
8867
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8868
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8869
 
8870
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8871
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8872
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8873
 
8874
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8875
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8876
 
8877
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8878
 
8879
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8880
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8881
 
8882
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8883
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8884
      objects.
8885
 
8886
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8887
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8888
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8889
      build defendants.
