883
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
884
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
885
 
886
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
887
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
888
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
889
      build errors.
890
 
891
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
892
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
893
 
894
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
895
      Shorthand for
896
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
897
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
898
 
899
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
900
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
901
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
902
      Examples: 
903
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
904
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
905
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
906
 
907
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
908
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
909
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
910
 
911
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
912
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
913
      build system.
914
 
915

916
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
917
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
918
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
924
 
925
Minor changes:
926
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
927
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
928
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
929
 
930
------------------------------------------------------------------------
931
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
933
 
934
Minor changes:
935
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
936
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
937
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
938
 
939
    * Build Files
940
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
941
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
942
 
943
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
944
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
945
 
946
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
947
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
948
 
949
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
950
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
951
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
952
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
953
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
954
 
955
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
956
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
957
     different architectures.
958
 
959
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
960
     are directed to one or more machines.
961
 
962
     Intended uses:
963
        Windows: Creating installers. 
964
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
965
 
966
       All: Specialized packaging.
967
 
968
    * Makefiles
969
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
970
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
971
      Eg:
972
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
973
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
974
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
975
      It could also have been written as:
976
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
977
      but NOT as:
978
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
979
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
980
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
981
 
982
    * Utility: sandbox
983
      Subcommand info 
984
        - Added option to test fingerprints

      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
994
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
995
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
996
 
997
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
998
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
999
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1000
 
1001
    * GenerateFiles directive
1002

1022
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1023
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1024
 
1025
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1026
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1027
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1028
      machine may build the toolset.
1029
 
1030
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1031
      platform.

1053
 
1054
    * Utility: escrow
1055
      Added -skim option
1056
 
1057
    * Utility: sandbox
1058

1060
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1061
 
1062
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1063
 
1064
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1065
        if an error is detected.
1066

        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1068
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1069
 
1070
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1071

1081
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1082
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1083
 
1084
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support

    * Makefile Package and Install directives
1176
      Addressed [JATS-405] - PackageFile does not handle files with a colon 
1177
                             in the name
1178

5885 dpurdie 1264
      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to 
5882 dpurdie 1265

2325
Minor changes:
2326
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2327
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2328
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2329
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2330
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2331
 
2332
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2333
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2344
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2345
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2346
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2347
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2348
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2349
 
2350
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2351
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2352
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.

2359
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2360
Major changes:
2361
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2362
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2363
      intended to build deployed software.
2364
 
2365
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2366
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2367
 
2368
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2369
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2370
 
2371
Minor changes:
2372
    * Jats wrapper script
2373
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2374
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2375
      Subversion instance of the command.
2376
 
2377
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2378
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2379
 
2380
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2381
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2382

2384
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2385
      file under windows.
2386
 
2387
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2388
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2389
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2390
 
2391
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2392
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2393
 
2394
    * GCC Toolchain
2395
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2411
Major changes:
2412
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2413
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2414
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2415
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2416
 
2417
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2418
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2428
Minor changes:
2429
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2430
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2431
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2432
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2433
      line.
2434
 
2435
    * Jats Configuration
2436
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2437
 
2438
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2439
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2440
      and Linux.
2441
 
2442
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2443
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
2451
    * Jats Core
2452
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2453
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2454
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2455
 
2456
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2457
      Used only by the build daemons.
2458
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2459
 
2460
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2461
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2462
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2467
Major changes:
2468
 
2469
Minor changes:
2470
    * svnrelease utility
2471
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2472
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2473
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2474
 
2475
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2476
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2477
      the named tag.
2478
 
2479
    * svnrelease utility
2480
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2481
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2495
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2496

2498
    * ALL Toolsets
2499
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2500
 
2501
    * Utility vcsdiff
2502
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2503

2504
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2524
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2525
      we have build support for this target.
2526
 
2527
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2528
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.

      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2554
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2555
      of warnings.
2556
 
2557
    * Makefile Generation
2558
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2559
 
2560
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
2561
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2439 dpurdie 2565
Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 08-Nov-12
2429 dpurdie 2566
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2567
Major changes:
2568
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2569
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2570
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2571
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2572
 
2573
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2574
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2575
      windows path scheme.
2576
 
2577
Minor changes:
2578
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2579
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2580
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2581
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2582
 
2583
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2584
        jats make clobber
2585
      This operates as before.
2586
 
2587
    * Utility: escrow
2588
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2589
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2590
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2591
 
2592
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2593
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2594
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2595
 
2596
    * Utility: svn : url
2597
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2598
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2599
 
2600
    * Utility: svn : import
2601
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2602
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2603
 
2604
    * Subversion Support
2605
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2606
      showing the user what to do.
2607
 
2608
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2609
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2610
      repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2615
 
2616
Minor changes:
2617
    * Jats build
2618
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2619
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2620
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2621
 
2622
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2623
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2624

2635
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2636
                 Can also display available branches.
2637
 
2054 dpurdie 2638
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
2639
      Added '-keepgoing' option to allow the user to ignore errors

2641
    * Utility: rtag_extract
2642
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
2643
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2644
 
2645
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2646
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2647
      Modified two options:
2648
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2649
                        The named branch must not exist
2650
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2651
                        The named branch must exist
2652
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2661
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2662
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2663
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2686
 
2687
Major changes:
2688
    * Jats Version Number
2689
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2690
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2691
      significantly.
2692
 
2693

2708
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2709
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2710
 
2711
Minor changes:
2712
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2713
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2714
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2715
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2716
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2717
 
2718
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2719
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2720
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2721
 
2722
    * Linux support utilities
2723
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2730
Major changes:
2731
    * Subversion Repository location
2732
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2733
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2734
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2735
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2736
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2737
 
2738
Minor changes:
2739
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2740
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2741
 
2742
    * Utility: svnrelease
2743
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2744
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2745
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2746
 
2747
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2748
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2749
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2750
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2751
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2752
 
2753
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2754
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2755

      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2758
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2759
 
2760
      Subcommand: populate
2761
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2762
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2763
      sandbox.
2764
 
2765
    * Subversion Support
2766
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2767
      repository is not supported.
2768
 
2769
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2770
      a progress indication.
2771
 
2772
    * Jats Online Documentation
2773
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2774
      online documentation.
2775
 
2776
    * Generated makefiles
2777
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2827

2828
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2829
 
2830

2854
Major changes:
2855
 
2856
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2857
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2858
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2859
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2860
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2861
 
2862
    * C# Toolchain
2863

      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2876
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2877
 
2878
    * Utility ccrelease
2879
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2880
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2881
 
2882
    * Utility: svn
2883

Major changes:
2913
 
2914
Minor changes:
2915
    * Command: jats clobber
2916
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2917
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2918
 
2919
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2920
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2921
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2922
 
2923
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2924
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2925
 
377 dpurdie 2926
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2927
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2928
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2929
 
2930
    * jats svnlabel
2931
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2932
 
2933
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2934
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2935
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2936
 
2937

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2944
Major changes:
2945
    * GCC Toolset
2946
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2947
      New methodology is:
2948
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2949
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2950
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2951
        as the main binary.
2952
 
2953
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2954
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2955
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2956
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2957
      both worlds.
2958

3091
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3092
 
3093
    * jats build -noforce
3094
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3095
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3096
      be forced.
3097
 
3098
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3099
 
3100
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3101
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3102
 
3103
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3104
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3105
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3106
 
3107
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3108
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3109
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3110
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3111

    * Utility: svnrelease
3113
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3114
      provide a cleaner workspace name.

3117
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3118
 
3119
    * Utility: svn
3120
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3121
      installed and can be used.
3122
 
3123
    * Toolset: CSharp
3124
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3125
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3126
      character.
3127
 
3128
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3129
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3130
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3131
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3132
      masking an error.
3133
 
3134
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3135
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3136
      enhancement.

3144
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3145
 
3146
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3147
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3148
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3149
 
3150
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3151
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3152
      packages.
3153
 
3154
    * make command: show
3155
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3156
      'jats make show' command.
3157
 
3158
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3159
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3160
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3161
 
3162

3163
      executed on Unix machines.

      the processing of PHP artifacts by the ZendGaurd.
3338
 
3339
    * Utility: cache_dpkg
3340
      Used internally to cache packages to a local archive.
3341
      When an error is encountered in the transfer the utility will now
347 dpurdie 3342
      correctly delete the package that it was transferring. Previously it
345 dpurdie 3343
      could leave a partially transferred package.
3344
 
3345
    * Utility: create_dpkg [DEVI-063950 ]
3346
      Creates build.<MachineName> marker files as well as built.<MachType>.

3348
 
3349
    * makefile.pl directives
3350
      Corrects and extended the operation of the platform-specifier.
3351
      All non-platform options must be true, while the platform names are
3352
      treated as before - any of them may be true. See MASS-00166 for full
3353
      details.
3354
 
3355
Internal:
3356

    * Jats Sandbox operation
3366
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
3367
 
3368
    * Jats MakeProject directive
3369
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
3370
      of the project builds to be specified.
3371
 
3372
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
3373
      to build a package.
3374
 
3375
    * MergeLibrary directive
3376
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
3377
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
3378
      suffix in the library name.
3379
 
3380
    * GenerateFiles directive
3381
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
3382
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
3383
 
3384
    * BuildPlatform
3385
      New option: --NoToolSet
3386
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3387
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3388
 
3389
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3390
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3391
      need toolset specific information.
3392
 
3393
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3394
 
3395
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
3396
 
3397
Internal:

    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
3399
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
3400
      processing into jats.pl
3401
 
3402
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3403
      a ClearCase site.

3478
Minor changes:
3479
    * Jats sandbox command

3504
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3505
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3506
      resulting in multiple builds.
3507
 
3508
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3509
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3510
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3511
 
3512
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3513
 
3514
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3515
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3516
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

3523
Minor changes:
3524
    * Jats label command
3525
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3526
      Not recommended for general use.
3527
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3528
      directories within the current view.
3529
 
3530
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3531
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3532
      elsewhere.
3533
 
3534
    * Jats save_build
3535
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3536
      the determination of a branch.
3537
 
3538
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3539
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3540
 
3541
    * Jats build
3542
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3543
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3544
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3545
 
3546
    * Borland6 toolset
3547
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3548
      to match the documented install location of:
3549
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3550
 
3551
    * Jats build
3552
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3553
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3554
      This is a very quick operation.
3555
 
3556
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3557
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3558
 
3559
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3560
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3561
      files are only recreated if need be.
3562
 
3563
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3564
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3565
      make the package.
3566
 
3567
    * Jats sandbox
3568
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3569
 
3570
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3571
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3572
 
3573
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3574
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3575
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3576
      is performed.
3577
 
3578
Internal:
3579
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3616
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3617
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3618
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3619
 
3620
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3621
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3622
 
3623
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3624
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3625
      platform builds.
3626
 
3627
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3628
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3629
      directory tree.
3630
 
3631

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3645
Major changes:
3646
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3647
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3648
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3649
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3650
 
3651
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3652
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3653
 
3654
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3655
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3656
 
3657
      Examples:
3658
            jats upddep -show
3659
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3660
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3661
 
3662
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3663
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3664
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3665
 
3666
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3667
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3668
 
3669
Minor changes:
3670
 
3671
Internal changes:
3672
    * Utility: jats_rewrite

3677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3678
Major changes:
3679
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3680
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3681
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3682
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3683
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3684
      stream.
3685
 
3686
      Example:
3687
 
3688
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3689
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3690
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3691
                     );
3692
Minor changes:
3693
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3694
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3695
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3696
      directive.
3697
 
3698
    * GCC Toolkit
3699
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3700
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3701
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3702
      the point of termination.
3703
 
3704
    * Jats save_build utility
3705
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3706
      under windows.
3707
 
3708
    * Jats sandbox
3709
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3710
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3711
      in different sandboxes.
3712
 
3713
    * Jats release
3714
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

3726
 
3727
    * jats label utility
3728
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3729
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3730
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3731
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3732
 
3733
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

3738
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3739
 
3740
Minor changes:
3741
    * WinCe Toolsets
3742
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3743
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3744
        noExceptions            - Disable
3745
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3746
      Example:
3747
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3748
 
3749
    * Solaris targets
3750
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3751
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3752
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3753
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3757
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3758
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3759
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3760
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3761
      project files.
3762
 
3763
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3764
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3765
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3766
 
3767
Minor changes:
3768
    * Added more internal documentation
3769
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3770
 
3771
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3772
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3773
 
3774
    * Jats save_build utility
3775
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3776
      under windows.
3777
 
3778
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3779
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3780
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3781
      libraries.
3782
 
3783
    * Solaris builds
3784
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3785
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3786
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3787
      of the build failure.
3788
 
3789
 
3790
Internal changes:
3791
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3792
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3793
 
3794
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3795
      PkgArchive topics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3800
Major changes:
3801
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3802
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3803
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3804
      existing 32-bit builds.
3805
 
3806
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3807
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3808
 
3809
Minor changes:
3810
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3811
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3812
 
3813
    * Package searching
3814
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3815
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3816
 
3817
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3818
 
3819
    * jats help
3820
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3821
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3822
 
3823
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3824
      with one of:
3825
        jats -h
3826
        jats help jats
3827
 
3828
Internal:
3829
    * cmdfile utility
3830
      Added macros:
3831
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3832
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3833
 
3834
      Corrected
3835
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3836
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3837
 
3838

3839
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3840
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3841
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3842
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Major changes:
3848
 
3849
Minor changes:
3850
 
3851
Internal changes
3852
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3853
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3854
      Useful side effects include:
3855
 
3856
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3857
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3858
 
3859
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3860
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3861
 
3862
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3863
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3864
        BuildPkgArchive
3865
 
313 dpurdie 3866
    * Perl Modules
3867
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3868
      release. This will:
3869
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3870
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3871
          reported by ERG.
3872
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
3880
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3881
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3882
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3883
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3884
 
3885
    * Jats label utility
3886
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3887
 
3888
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3889
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3890
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3891
 
3892
    * Jats core
3893
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3894
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3895
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3904
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3905
      This is now fixed.
3906
 
309 dpurdie 3907
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3908
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3909
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3910
 
3911
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3912
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
3921
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3922
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3923
      an error.
3924
 
3925
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3926
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3927
 
3928
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3929
      Highly specialized directive.

    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3937
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3938
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3939
 
3940
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3941
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3942
 
3943
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3944
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3945
      Support includes
3946
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3947
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3948
 
3949
Minor changes:
3950
    * Build file processing
3951
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3952
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3953
 
3954
    * MOS builds
3955
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3956
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3957
 
3958
    * MOS builds
3959
      New 'known' product: PICP
3960
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3961
 
3962
    * GenerateFiles directive
3963
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3964
        under windows.
3965
 
3966
        .
3967
 
3968
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3969
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3970
 
3971
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3972
      to the output stream.
3973
 
3974
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3975
 
3976
    * Windows Shell
3977
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3978
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3979
 
3980
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3981
 
3982
    * H8S toolset
3983
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3984
 
3985
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
3986
      handle macros that use line continuation.
3987
 
3988
Internal changes
3989
    * WinCe builds
3990
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
3991
      content of the file.
3992
 
3993
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
3994
 
3995
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
3996
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4012
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4013
      Changes are transparent to users.
4014
 
4015
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4016
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4017
      this occurs.
4018
 
4019
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4020
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4021
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4022
      automated build framework.
4023
 
4024
    * jats sandbox command
4025
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4026
      'create' command.
4027
 
4028
    * jats command aliases. Added
4029
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4030
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4035
Major changes:
4036
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4037
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4038
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4039
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4040
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4041
      will work as expected
4042
 
4043
Minor changes:
4044
    * VS2008 Toolset
4045
      Picking up incorrect config details
4046
      May result in a warning message.
4047
 
4048
    * gen_cots utility
4049
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4050
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4051
 
4052
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4053
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4110
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4111
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4112
           names cannot be changed.
4113
 
4114
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4115
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4116
 
4117
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4118
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4119
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4120
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4121
 
4122
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4123
      file.
4124
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4125
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4126
      MyPackage.dpk.
4127
 
4128
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4129
      file.
4130
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4131
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4132
      MyDll.dpr.
4133
 
4134
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4135
      file.
4136
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4137
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4138
      MyProg.dpr.
4139
 
4140
Minor changes:
4141
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4142
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4143
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4144
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4145
 
4146
    * BuildVersion directive
4147
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4148
      in a Delphi Unit.
4149
 
4150
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4151
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4152
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4153
      'know' the location of the files.
4154
 
4155
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4156
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4157
 
4158
Internal Changes:
4159
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4160
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4161
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4162
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4163
 
4164
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4165
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4166
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4171
Major changes:
4172
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4173
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4174
      information for purely C++ builds.
4175
 
289 dpurdie 4176
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4177
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4178
 
289 dpurdie 4179
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4180
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4181
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4182
 
4183
Minor changes:
4184
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4185

4186
 
4187
    * updatenodespec utility
4188
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4189

4211
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
4212
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4213
 
4214
Minor changes:
4215
    * MergeLibrary directive
4216
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4217
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.

4225
Minor changes:
4226
    * New command: jats make show
4227
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4228
      used in the build.
4229
 
4230
    * Escrow command
4231
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4232
 
4233
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4234
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4235
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4236
 
4237
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4238
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4239
 
4240

277 dpurdie 4242
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4243
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4244
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4245
 
279 dpurdie 4246
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4247
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4248
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4249
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4250
 
4251
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4252
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4253
 
4254
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4255
 
4256
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4257
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4258
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4259
 
4260
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4261
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4262
        processed.
4263
 
4264
      Removed the '-delete' option
4265
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4266
 
277 dpurdie 4267
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4268
    * Sandbox command
4269
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4270
 
4271
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4272
      target from consideration in the build set.
4273
 
4274
    * MCR Toolset
4275
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4276
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4277
 
4278
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4279
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4280
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4281
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4282
 
4283
    * Jats run_test command
4284
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4285
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4286
 
4287
    * descpkg file
4288
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4289
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4290
 
4291
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4292
     Now contains build trace information
4293
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4294
 
4295
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4296
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4297
     it contains 'jar' files.
4298
 
4299
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4300
 
4301
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4302
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4303
 
4304
   * BuildVersion directive
4305
     Form:
4306
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4307
     now works as expected.
4308
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4309
 
4310
Internal Changes:
4311
 
4312
    * Error reporting mechanism
4313
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4314
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4315
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4325
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4326
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4327
    then starts.
4328
 
4329
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4330
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4331
 
4332
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4333
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4334
    non-platform option.
4335
 
279 dpurdie 4336
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4354
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4355
 
4356
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4357
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4358
 
4359
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4360
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4361
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4362
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
4363
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4364
 
4365

4376
      build target.
4377
 
4378
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
4379

4395
      Removed warning on the use of --OnlyProd and --OnlyDebug
4396
 
4397

4398
      Minor enhancements to this internal package
4399
        CopyFile operation returns path to target file
4400
        CopyDir can, if asked, returns an array of files copied
4401
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
4402
 
4403
Internal Changes:
4404
    * Environment
4405
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
4406
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4494
 
4495
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
4496
      New options:
4497
        no_define_source_file
4498
        define_source_file              (Default)
4499
 
4500
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4501
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4502
 
4503
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4669
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4670
      Previously was being done at two places
4671
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4672
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4735
 
4736
Minor changes:
4737
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4738
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4752
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4753
         Support extends to allow:
4754
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4755
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4756
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4757
 
4758
        VS2005
4759
         Support extends to allow:
4760
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4761
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4762
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4763
 
4764
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4765
      through a version selector:
4766
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4767
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4768
 
4769
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4770
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4771
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4772
 
4773
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4774
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4775
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4776
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4777
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4778
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4779
          under VS2005.
4780
 
4781
Minor changes:
4782
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
4787
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4788
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4789
 
4790
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4791
 
4792
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4793
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4794
 
4795
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4796
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4797
      a minimal value of perl.
4798
 
4799
      Removed excessive require statements.
4800

4805
        2) Linux
4806
 
4807
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4808
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4809
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4810
      machines.
4811
 
4812
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4813

4817
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4818
 
4819
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4820
      wrapper scripts.
4821
 
4822
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4823
      Correct problem with location of build files.

4885
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4886
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4887
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4888
    work.
4889
 
4890
  * Jats utility: release
4891
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4892
    published to dpkg_archive.
4893
 
249 dpurdie 4894
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4895
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4896
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4897
    supported for ANT builds.
4898
 
4899
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4900
        releasemanager.releasename
4901
        releasemanager.projectname
4902
 
4903
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4904
    tagged data item of the form
4905
 
4906
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4907
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4908
 
4909
  * Mug File Generation
4910
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4911
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4912
 
4913
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4914
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4915
    required.
4916
 
4917
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4918
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4919
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4920
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4921
    the files in order to use them.
4922
 
4923
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4924
    locate the file.
4925
 
4926
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4927
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4928
 
4929
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4930
        * CSharp
4931
        * Properties
4932
        * WinRC
4933
 
4934
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4935
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4936
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4937
    Value is correctly assigned.
4938

4940
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4942
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4943
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4944
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4945
 
4946
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4947
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4948
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4949
 
4950
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4951
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4952
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4953
 
4954
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4955
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4956
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4957
 
4958
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4959
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4960
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4961
    correct.
4962
 
4963
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4964
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4965
 
4966
Minor changes:
4967
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4968
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4969
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4970
 
4971
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4972
    This will simplify new user setup.
4973
 
4974
  * All Unix Toolsets
4975
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4976
    on unix systems
4977
 
4978
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4979
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4980
    on some Solaris Machines.
4981
 
4982
  * JATS -version=<version>
4983
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4984
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4985
 
4986

245 dpurdie 4991
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 4992
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
4993
 
4994
Minor changes:
4995
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
4996
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
4997
 
4998
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
4999

    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
5002
      Does not work with LMOS
5003
 
5004
    * Readme.txt file
5005
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
5006
 
5007
    * Misc Cleanup
5008
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
5009
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
5016
    Force compiler option -nOj
5017
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
5018
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.

    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
5027
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
5028
 
5029
  * JATS builds
5030
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
5031
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
5032
    mode.
5033
 
5034
  * JATS makefiles
5035
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5036
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5037
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5038
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5039
                            SetList directive.
5040
 
5041

5048
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
5049
 
5050
  * JATS buildfile processing
5051
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5052
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5053
    of JATS.
5054
 
5055
  * JATS save_build utility
5056
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of

    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
5061
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
5062
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
5063
 
5064
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
5065

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
5085
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5086
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5087
 
5088
    * MOS Toolset
5089
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5090
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5091
 
5092
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

    * Extract/Release utility.
5139
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
5140
      that can handle spaces
5141
 
5142
    * MOS Compiler
5143
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5144
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5145
 
5146
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5147
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5148
      descpkg files to be copied.
5149
 
5150
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
5151
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 5166
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5167
 
5168
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5169
      <project> field.
5170
 
5171
    * CCdiff utility
5172
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
5173
 
5174
    * Escrow utility

5183
Major changes:
5184
 
5185
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5186
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5187
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5188
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5189
 
5190
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5191
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5192
 
5193
    * Jats wrapper
5194
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5195
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5196

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5200
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5201
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5202
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5203
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5204
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5205
 
5206
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5207
 
5208
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5209
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5210
 
5211
    * Running Jats
5212
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5213
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5214
      This may affect some windows developers.
5215
 
5216
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5217
      Future versions will generate an error.
5218
 
5219
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5220
 
5221
Minor changes:
5222
    * Perl Version Check
5223
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5224
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5225
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5226
 
5227
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5228
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5229
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5230
      build.
5231
 
5232
    * Jats Internals
5233
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5234
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5235
 
5236
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5237
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5238
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5239
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5240
      process.
5241
 
5242
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5243
      Only works under Windows.
5244
 
5245
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5246
 
5247
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5248
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5249
 
5250
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5251
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5252
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5253
 
5254
    * Jats eprog
5255
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5256
      directory.
5257
 
5258
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5259
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5260
      build metrics.
5261
 
5262

Major changes:
5266
 
5267
Minor changes:
5268
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5269
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5270
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5271
      automated build system. New options are:
5272
        -pname=Package_Name
5273
        -pversion=Package_Version
5274
 
5275
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5276
      transferring the package. New options are:
5277
        -test
5278
 
5279
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5280
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5281
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5282
 
5283
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5284
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5285
 
5286
    * Solaris Toolset
5287
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5288
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5289
      programs are still supported.

5294
Major changes:
5295
 
5296
Minor changes:
5297
    * WINCE toolsets
5298
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5299
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5300
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5301
      when header files cannot be found.
5302
 
5303
    * GenerateFiles directive
5304
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5305
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5306
      that are difficult to solve.
5307
 
5308
    * MakePerlModule directive
5309
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5310
      to the the module builder.
5311
 
5312
    * Jats Tool: label
5313
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5314
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5315
      -dirs=xxx options.
5316
 
5317
    * Jats Tool: release
5318
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5319
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5320
 
5321
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5322
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5323
 
5324
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5325
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5326
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5327
 
5328
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
5335
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5336
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5337
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5338
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5339
 
5340
Minor changes:
5341
    * label utility
5342
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5343
 
5344
    * make package and install operations
5345
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5346
      transfer.
5347
 
5348
    * make clean up
5349
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5350
 
5351
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5352
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5353
      minor file transformations such as:
5354
        Copy, with optional rename
5355
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5356
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5357
 
5358
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5359
 
5360
    * jats release utility
5361
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5362
      in place.
5363
 
5364
    * escrow utility
5365
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5366
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

    * Makefile generation
5375
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5376
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5377
      generate phase early.

Major changes:
5383
 
5384
Minor changes:
5385
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5386
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5387
 
5388
    * Makefile generation
5389
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5390
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5391
 
5392
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5393
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5394
 
5395
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5396
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5397
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5398
 
5399
    * jats_rewrite utility
5400
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5401
 
5402
    * jats escrow utility
5403
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5404
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5405
 
5406
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5407
      inconsistent packages.
5408
 
5409
    * jats make help
5410
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5411
      available within the current build.
5412
 
5413
    * jats makefiles
5414
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5415
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5416
 
5417
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5418
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5419
 
5420
    * gcc toolset
5421
      SharedLibries.
5422
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5423
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5424
 
5425
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5426
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5427
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5428
 
5429
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5430
        New options:
5431
            --MultiScan
5432
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5433
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5434
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5440
Major changes:
5441
 
5442
Minor changes:
5443
    PackageLib directive
5444
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5445
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5446
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5447
 
5448
    MakefileGenerate directive
5449
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5450
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5451
 
5452
    Multiple Parent detection
5453
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5454
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5455
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5456
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5457
 
5458
    Solaris Toolset
5459
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5460
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5461
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5462
    link.
5463
 
5464
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5465
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5466
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5467
 
5468
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5469
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5470
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5471
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5476
Major changes:
5477
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5478
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5479
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5480
 
5481
    Summary of changes:
5482
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5483
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5484
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5485
          flexibility.
5486
 
5487
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5488
 
5489
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5490
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5491
          interface directory and associated build information.
5492
 
5493
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5494
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5495
          than one second.
5496
 
5497
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5498
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5499
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5500
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5501
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5502
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5503
 
5504
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5505
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5506
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5507
 
5508
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5509
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5510
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5511
          building them.
5512
 
5513
        - Detection of build file changes
5514
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5515
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5516
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5517
 
5518
        - Quieter make output
5519
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5520
 
5521
 
5522
Minor changes:
5523
    MakeAnt Directive
5524
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5525
 
5526
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5527
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5528
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5529
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5530
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5531
 
5532
    CSHARP toolset
5533
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5534

5541
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5542
    are generated.
5543
 
5544
    MakeAnt
5545
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5546
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5547
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5548
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5549
 
5550
    MCR platform
5551
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

Minor changes:
5560
    MakeAnt directive extended
5561
    New option: --PackageBase
5562
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5563
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5564
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5565
 
5566
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5567
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5568
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5569
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5589
 
5590
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5591
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5592
 
5593
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5594
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5595
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5596
 
5597
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5598
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5599
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5600
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5629
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5630
 
5631
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5632
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5633
      last.
5634
 
5635
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5636
 
5637
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5638
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5639
 
5640
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5641
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5642
 
5643
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5644
 
5645
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5646
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5647
 
5648
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5649
 
5650
 
5651
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5652
           with the --System option
5653
 
5654

      dependent packages.
5666
 
5667
    * RunTest operation
5668
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.

      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5680
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5681
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5682
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5683
      path.
5684
 
5685
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5686
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5687
      reproducible.
5688
 
5689
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5690
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5691
 
5692
      There are several aspects to the change
5693
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5694
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5695
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5696
 
5697
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5698
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5699
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5700
          controlled separately.
5701
 
5702
Minor changes:
5703
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5704
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5705
        Remove duplicates
5706
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5707

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5711
Major changes:
5712
 
5713
Minor changes:
5714
    * Makefile sanity test
5715
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5716
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5717
 
5718
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5719
      x86 machine.
5720
 
5721
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5722
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5723
 
5724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5725
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5726
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5727
Major changes:
5728
    * RunTest directive
5729
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5730
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5731
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5732
 
5733
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5734
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5735
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5736
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5737
 
5738
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5739
        builder within the current toolset.
5740
 
5741
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5742
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5743
 
5744
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5745
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5746
      containing the RunTest directive.
5747
 
5748
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5749
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5750
 
5751
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5752
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5753
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5754
 
5755
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5756
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5757
                            P or D suffix.
5758
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5759
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5760
 
5761
Minor changes:
5762
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5763
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5764
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5765
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5766
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5767
 
5768
    * Save Build Utility
5769
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5770
      used in a ripple build.
5771
 
5772
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5773
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5774
 
5775
    * Release Utility
5776
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5777
      when an error is encountered.
5778
 
5779
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5780
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5781
 
5782
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5783
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5784
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5785
 
5786
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5787
      before the makefiles are created.
5788
 
5789
    * TestProg directive
5790
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5791
 
5792
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5793
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5794

5797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5798
Major changes:
5799
    * New build target
5800
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5801
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5802
 
5803
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5804
            DEVLINUX
5805
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5806
 
5807
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5808
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5809
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5810
 
5811
Minor changes:
5812
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5813
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5814
 
5815
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5816
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5817
 
5818
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5819
      and .cs files.
5820
 
5821
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5822
      thing.
5823
 
5824
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5825
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5826
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5827
      were it places temp files.
5828
 
5829
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5830
      interaction with other builds.
5831
 
5832
    * Release utility command
5833
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5834
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5835
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5841
  * Support for building CSHARP code
5842
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
5843
 
5844
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5845
 
5846
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5847
    libraries
5848
 
5849
Minor changes:
5850
  * Unit Tests
5851
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5852
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5853
 
5854
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5855
    as a Script.

  * WINCE Support
5887
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5888
 
5889
  * Removed the following targets
5890
        TP5600
5891
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5892
        TP5600_EMU
5893
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5894
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5895
 
5896
  * Deployment
5897
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5898
 
5899
  * build.pl
5900
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5901
 
5902
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5903
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5904
 
5905
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5906
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5907
    build.
5908
 
5909
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5910
 
5911
  * Tool: escrow
5912
     New features
5913
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5914
     are not in the SBOM.
5915
 
5916
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5917
 
5918
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5922
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5924
Major changes:
5925
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5926
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5927
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5928
 
5929
  * GenerateFiles
5930
    Added the options:
5931
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5932
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5933
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5934
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5935
 
5936
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5937
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5938
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5939
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5940
                                  required.
5941
 
5942
 
5943
Minor changes:
5944
  * GenerateFile directive
5945
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5946
 
5947
  * GCC Toolset
5948
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5949
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5950
    be rebuilt.
5951
 
5952
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5953
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5954
 
5955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5956
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5958
Major changes:
5959
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5960
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5961
    environment variables.
5962
 
5963
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5964
            moved.
5965
 
5966
    This will affect users that:
5967
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5968
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5969
 
5970
        2) Use the ABT system
5971
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5972
           the required configuration
5973
 
5974
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5975
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5976
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5977
    Windows
5978
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5979
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5980
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5981
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5982
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5983
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5984
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5985
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 5986
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
5987
 
5988
 
5989
  * New build platforms
5990
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5991
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
5992
 
5993
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5994
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5995
 
5996
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
5997
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
5998
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
5999
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6000
 
6001
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6002
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6003
    release.
6004
 
6005
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6006
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6007
 
6008
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6009
    need to be converted.
6010
 
6011
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6012
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6013
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6014
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6015
    used for different targets platforms.
6016
 
6017
  * Sandbox support
6018
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6019
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6020
 
6021
    New command: jats sandbox ...

6028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6029
Major changes:
6030
  * MakeAnt directive
6031
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6032
 
6033
    New options
6034
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6035
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6036
 
6037
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6038
    run_unit_tests phase.
6039
 
6040
  * Sandbox support
6041
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6042
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6043
 
6044
Minor changes:
6045
  * jats build
6046
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6047
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6048
 
6049
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6050
 
6051
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6052
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6053
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6054
 
6055
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6056
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6057
 
6058
  * JATS.BAT
6059
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6060
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6061
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6062
 
6063
  * jats label
6064
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6065
 
6066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6067
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6069
Major changes:
6070
  * New build platform:
6071
        LMOS_TP5600
6072
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6073
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6074
 
6075
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6076
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6077
    describe the group of platforms.
6078
 
6079
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6080
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6081
    build these targets.
6082
 
6083
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6084
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6085
 
6086
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6087
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6088
 
6089
  * New build platform: WINCE
6090
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6091
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6092
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6093
 
6094
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6095
            WCEIT3000
6096
            WCEPA961
6097
            WCEPA962
6098
            WCEPCM7220
6099
            WCEPSION_420
6100
            WCEPSPC_arm
6101
            WCEPSPC_emu
6102
            WCEX86A420
6103
            WCEX86A500
6104
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6105
 
6106
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6107
 
6108
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6109
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6110
    that contain packaging directives.
6111
 
6112
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6113
    very unusual configurations.
6114
 
6115
Minor changes:
6116
  * Directive: PackageFile
6117
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6118
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6119
    an '='.
6120
 
6121
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6122
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6123
 
6124
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6125
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6126
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6127
 
6128
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6129
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6130
 
6131
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6132
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6133
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6134
Major changes:
6135
 
6136
  * JATS release command
6137
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6138
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6139
 
6140
    Rules are:
6141
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6142
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6143
                            File will be placed on a branch
6144
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6145
                            New directory will branch
6146
 
6147
Minor changes:
6148
  * JATS release command
6149
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6150
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6151
 
6152
  * JATS label command
6153
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6154
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6155
 
6156
  * JATS make
6157
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6158
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6159
    was re-packaged.
6160
 
6161
  * JATS escrow
6162
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6163
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6164
 
6165
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6166
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6167
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6168
 
6169
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6170
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6171
    interface directory.
6172
 
6173
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6174
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6175
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6176
    directory as seen by the package.
6177
 
6178
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6179
 
6180
  * JAVA 6
6181
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6182
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6183
 
6184
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6185
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6186
 
6187
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6188
 
6189
  * Jats command: vars
6190
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6191
    These indicate potential problems.
6192
 
6193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6194
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6196
Major changes:
6197
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6198
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6199
    libarry is also created.
6200
 
6201
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6202
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6203
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6204
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6205
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6206
    information contained within the file.
6207
 
6208
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6209
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6210
 
6211
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6212
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6213
 
6214
  * Building Perl Modules
6215
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6216
    documentation on the build machine.
6217
 
6218
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6219
 
6220
Minor changes:
6221
  * jats create_dpkg
6222
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6223
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6224
 
6225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6226
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6228
Major changes:
6229
  * JATS JAVA build target
6230
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6231
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6232
 
6233
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6234
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6235
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6236
    is then picked up as the default version.
6237
 
6238
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6239
    build.pl file.
6240
 
6241
Minor changes:
6242
  * jats release
6243
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6244
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6245
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6246
 
6247
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6248
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6249
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6250
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6251
    the name of the view.
6252
 
6253
  * GenerateFiles directive
6254
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6255
 
6256
  * MOS Toolset
6257
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6258
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6259
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6260
 
6261
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6262
 
6263
 
6264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6265
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6267
Major changes:
6268
 
6269
Minor changes:
6270
  * JATS environment
6271
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6272
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6273
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6274
 
6275
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6276
 
6277
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6278
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6279
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6280
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6281
    to be packaged.
6282
 
6283
  * Generated makefiles
6284
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6285
 
6286
  * Generating MOS THX files
6287
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6288
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6289
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6290
 
6291
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6292
 
6293
  * JATS release
6294
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6295
 
6296
  * JATS extract
6297
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6298
 
6299
  * JATS Toolset
6300
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6301
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6302
 
6303

6305
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6307
Major changes:
6308
 
6309
Minor changes:
6310
  * jats label
6311
    Added a -vob=name option
6312
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6313
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6314
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6315
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6316
 
6317
    Added a -user=name option
6318
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6319
    label to the named user.
6320
 
6321
  * jats release
6322
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6323
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6324
 
6325
  * JATS build.pl
6326
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6327
    ie:
6328
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6329

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6332
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6334
Major changes:
6335
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6336
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6337
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6338
    the makefile internals. ie:
6339
        --Var(BuildName)
6340
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6341
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6342
 
6343
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6344
 
6345
  * GenerateFiles
6346
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6347
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6348
 
6349
  * BuildPlatforms
6350
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6351
 
6352
Minor changes:
6353
  * GCC Toolset
6354
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6355
 
6356
Internal changes:
6357
  * GenerateFiles
6358
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6359
 
6360
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6361
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6362
 
6363
 
6364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6365
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6367
Major changes:
6368
  * Caching JATS
6369
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6370
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6371
 
6372
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6373
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6374
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6375
 
6376
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6377
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6378
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6379
 
6380
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6381
 
6382
Minor changes:
6383
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6384
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6385
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6386
 
6387
  * jats build
6388
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6389
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6390
    processed by the build.
6391
 
6392
  * jats build
6393
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6394
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6395
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6396
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6397
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6398
 
6399
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6400
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6401
    Path is not specified.
6402
 
6403
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6404
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6405
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6406
        --Dir=$Pinc
6407
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6408
 
6409
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6410
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6411
    Windows platform.
6412
 
6413
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6414
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6415
            by 'purecov.
6416
 
6417
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6418
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6419
 
6420
        - OPTIONS=purify
6421
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6422
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6423
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6424

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6429
Major changes:
6430
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6431
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6432
    Example:
6433
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6434
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6435
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6436
 
6437
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6438
    been determined.
6439
 
6440
Minor changes:
6441
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6442
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6443
    located at build-time.
6444
 
6445
  * Unix based systems
6446
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6447
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6448
 
6449
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6450
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6451
    driver being built.
6452
 
6453

        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6485
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6486
                      be run on every invocation.
6487
 
6488

6513
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6514
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6515
    It is based on machine type.

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6548
 
6549
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6550
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6551
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6552
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6553
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6554
 
6555
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6556
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6557
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6558
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6559
 
6560
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6561
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
6576
  * JATS wrapper script
6577
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6578
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6579
    to setup links to system programs.

6602
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6603
        no_misalign         - Default
6604
 
6605
        multithread         - Default

    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6623
    Theses are:
6624
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6625
        SOLARIS_AMD
6626
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6627
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6628
 
6629
Minor changes:
6630

Major changes:
6641
 
6642
Minor changes:
6643
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6644
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6645
    messages
6646
 
6647
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6648
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6649
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6650
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6651
 
6652

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6655
Major changes:
6656
 
6657
Minor changes:
6658
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6659
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6660
    library without creating the body of the library:
6661
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6662
 
6663
 
6664
  * MOS toolsets
6665
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6666
    library without creating the body of the library:
6667
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6668
 
6669
  * JATS BIN directories
6670
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6671
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6672
    using autoconf.
6673
 
6674
  * Generate directive
6675
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6676
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6677
 
6678
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6679

6683
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6684
Major changes:
6685
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6686
    Initial release.
6687
 
6688

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6692
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6694
Major changes:
6695
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6696
    Initial release.
6697
 
6698
  * Packaging directives
6699
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6700
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6701
 
6702
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6703
        SOLARIS
6704
        WIN32
6705
 
6706
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6707
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6708
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6709
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6710
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6711
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6712
 
6713
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6714
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6715
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6716
 
6717
 
6718
Minor changes:
6719
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6720
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6721
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6722
 
6723
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6724
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6725
    location
6726
 
6727
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6728
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6729
 
6730
  * Utility genrc
6731
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6732
 
6733
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6734
    Added option: -new
6735
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6736
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6737
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6738
 
6739
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6740
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6741
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6742
 
6743
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6744
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6745
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6746
 
6747
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6748
   features - in a uniform manner.
6749
 
6750
 
6751
Internal Changes:
6752
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6753
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6754
 
6755
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6756
        1) Platform information available at build time
6757
        2) Dynamic platform names
6758
 
6759
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6760
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6761
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6762
 
6763
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6764
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6765
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6766
 
6767
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6768
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6769
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6770
    needed.
6771
 
6772
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6773
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6774
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6775
    files from all of these.
6776
 
6777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6778
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6787
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6788
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6789
Major changes:
6790
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6791
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6792
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6793
 
6794
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6795
 
6796
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6797
    the operations.
6798
 
6799
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6800
 
6801
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6802
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6803
 
6804
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6805
 
6806
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6807
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6808
 
6809
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6810
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6811
    Extended the built-in help
6812
    Added useful error messages
6813
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6814
 
6815
  * WinCE toolset
6816
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6817
 
6818
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6819
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6820
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6821
 
6822
Minor changes:
6823
  * JATS wrapper script
6824
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6825
    the command line.
6826
 
6827
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6828
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6829
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6830
 
6831
Internal Changes:
6832
  * Common Error Reporting
6833
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6834
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6835
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6836
    level.
6837
 
6838
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6839
    displayed.
6840
 
6841
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6842
 
6843
  * Added JatsSystem module
6844
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6845

6856
    Added AT7272 support
6857
 
6858
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6859
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6860

  * Mictotec toolset
6879
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6880
    builds.
6881
 
6882
  * JATS Core
6883
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6884
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6885
    behaviour.
6886
 
6887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6888
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6890
Major changes:
6891
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6892
    Deployment package will be affected.
6893
 
6894
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6895
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6896
 
6897
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6898
 
6899
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6900
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6901
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6902
    packages.
6903
 
6904
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6905
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6906
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6907
 
6908
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6909
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6910
 
6911
Minor changes:
6912
  * SubDir directive
6913
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6914
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6915
 
6916
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6917
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6918
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6919
    of the file usage.
6920
 
6921
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6922
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6923
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6924
 
6925
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6926
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6927
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6928
 
6929
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6930
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6931
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6932
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6933
 
6934
 
6935
Internal Changes:
6936
  * Code refactor
6937
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6938
 
6939
  * Deployment utilities
6940
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6941
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6942
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6943
    the module can locate the file.
6944
 
6945
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6946
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6947
 
6948
  * JATS core
6949
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6950
 
6951
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6952
 
6953
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6954
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6955
    through the use of environment variables.
6956
 
6957
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6958
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6959
 
6960
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6961
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6962
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6963
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6964
 
6965
  * Make environment
6966
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6967
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6968
 
6969
 
6970
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6971
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6973
Major changes:
6974
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6975
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6976
 
6977
 
6978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6979
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6981
 
6982
Not Released.
6983
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6984
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6985
 
6986
 
6987
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6988
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
6989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6990
Major changes:
6991
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
6992
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
6993
    radically replaced.
6994
 
6995
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
6996
    Usage:
6997
        jats etool test_rmconnection
6998
 
6999
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7000
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7001
    this solution:
7002
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7003
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7004
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7005
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7006
 
7007
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7008
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7009
    order to work.
7010
 
7011
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7012
    reduced functionality.
7013
 
7014
 
7015
Minor changes:
7016
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7017
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7018
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7019
 
7020
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7021
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7022
    within the makefiles.
7023
        Options:
7024
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7025
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7026
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7027
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7028
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7029
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7030
        Useage:
7031
 
7032
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7033
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7034
 
7035
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7036
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7037
    is not in the current directory.
7038
 
7039
  * Jats Command: ant'
7040
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7041
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7042
 
7043
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7044
 
7045
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7046
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7047
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7048
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7049
 
7050
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7051
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7052
    Thus
7053
 
7054
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7055
 
7056
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7057
 
7058
 
7059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7060
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7062
Major changes:
7063
 
7064
Minor changes:
7065
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7066
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7067
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7068
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7069
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7070
 
7071
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7072
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7073
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7074
 
7075
Internal changes:
7076
  * JATS toolsets
7077
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7078
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7079
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7080
 
7081
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7082
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7083
 
7084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7085
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7087
Major changes:
7088
  * Jats command: etool
7089
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7090
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7091
 
7092
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7093
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7094
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7095
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7096
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7097
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7098
 
7099
Minor changes:
7100
 
7101
 
7102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7103
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7105
Major changes:
7106
  * JATS environment variables
7107
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7108
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7109
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7110
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7111
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7112
 
7113
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7114
              Remote repository
7115
 
7116
    Added GBE_DPLY
7117
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7118
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7119
 
7120
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7121
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7122
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7123
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7124
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7125
 
7126
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7127
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7128
 
7129
 
7130
Minor changes:
7131
  * JATS utility: build
7132
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7133
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7134
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7135
 
7136
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7137
    Ensure label is not locked
7138
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7139
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7140
 
7141
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7142
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7143
    to a specific type of build.
7144
 
7145
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7146
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7147
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7148
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7149
 
7150
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7151
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7152
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7153
 
7154
  * JATS utility: release
7155
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7156
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7157
 
7158
  * JATS utility: label
7159
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7160
    when it is being created.
7161
 
7162
Internal Changes
7163
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7164
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7165
 
7166
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7167
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7168
 
7169
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7170
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7171
    different results.
7172
 
7173
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7174
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7175
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7176
 
7177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7178
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7179
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7180
Major changes:
7181
 
7182
  * MCR toolset
7183
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7184
 
7185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7186
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7187
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7188
Major changes:
7189
  * WIN32 utilities
7190
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7191
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7192
 
7193
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7194
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7195
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7196
 
7197
Minor changes:
7198
  * BuildVersion
7199
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7200
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7201
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7202
 
7203
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7204
 
7205
  * Unix Builds
7206
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7207
    library or a shared library.
7208
 
7209
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7210
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7211
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7212
    start with 'lib'.
7213
 
7214
  * BuildPkgArchive
7215
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7216
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7217
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7218
 
7219
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7220
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7222
Major changes:
7223
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7224
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7225
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7226
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7227
    being manually maintained.
7228
 
7229
 
7230
Minor changes:
7231
  * MakeAnt directive
7232
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7233
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7234
    supports ANT builds.
7235
 
7236
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7237
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7238
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7239
 
7240
  * Label utility
7241
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7242
    files to be labeled.
7243
 
7244
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7245
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7246
    on Solaris.
7247
 
7248
  * Generated makefiles
7249
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7250
    nothing.
7251
 
7252
  * MOS Toolset
7253
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7254
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7255
    modules.
7256
 
7257
  * Utility: gen_cots
7258
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7259
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7260
 
7261
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7262
 
7263
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7264
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7265
 
7266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7267
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7269
Major changes:
7270
  None
7271
 
7272
Minor changes:
7273
  * DEVI addressed
7274
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7275
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7276
 
7277
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7278
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7279
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7280
 
7281
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7282
 
7283
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7284
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7285
 
7286
  * RunTest directive
7287
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7288
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7289
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7290
 
7291
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7292
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7293
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7294
    packaged under JATS
7295
 
7296
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7297
          supported within JATS.
7298
 
7299
  * Jats utility wrapper
7300
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7301
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7302
 
7303
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7304
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7305
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7306
 
7307
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7308
    Eg: jats ant
7309
 
7310
  * Jats utility wrapper
7311
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7312
 
5710 dpurdie 7313
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7314
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7315
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7316
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7317
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7318
 
5710 dpurdie 7319
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7320
    expect a build.pl file.
7321
 
7322
  * Jats utility wrapper
7323
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7324
 
7325
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7326
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7327
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7328
 
7329
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7330
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7331
 
7332
  * Build files
7333
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7334
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7335

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

7728
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7730
Major changes:
7731
    * Make commands
7732
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7733
 
7734
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7735
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7736
 
7737
    * Label utility
7738
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7739
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7740
 
7741
Minor changes:
7742
    * Toolsets
7743
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7744
      variables and overrides.
7745
 
7746
      The make_init target is always run.
7747
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7748
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7749
 
7750
    * Deployment
7751
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7752
      with deployment operations.
7753
 
7754
    * Release utility
7755
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7756
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7757
      restricted by options within the build.
7758
 
7759
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7760
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7761
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7762
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7763
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7764
 
7765
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7766
      directives.
7767
 
7768
    * MakeProject directive
7769
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7770
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7771
 
7772
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7773
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7774
      is preserved.
7775
 
7776
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7777
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7778
      statements.
7779
 
7780
    * Mugfile generation
7781
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7782
      be placed in the target package.
7783
 
7784
 
7785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7786
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7788
Major changes:
7789
    * BuildVersion directive
7790
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7791
      number as well as a patch number.
7792
 
7793
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7794
      number.
7795
 
7796
Minor changes:
7797
    * AddFlags directives
7798
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7799
      duplicate flags being added.
7800
 
7801
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7802
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7803
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7804
 
7805
    * Mug File Generation
7806
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7807
 
7808
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7809
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7810
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7811
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7812
     directory.
7813
 
7814
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7815
     reproducible.
7816
 
7817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7818
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7819
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7820
Major changes:
7821
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7822
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7823
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7824
      longer a list of directories.
7825
 
7826
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7827
      done within the toolset.
7828
 
7829
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7830
 
7831
    * JATS environment variables
7832
      Redefined variable
7833
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7834
                          Previously was a list that included the
7835
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7836
 
7837
      New variable
7838
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7839
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7840
 
7841
 
7842
Minor changes:
7843
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7844
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7845
      target platforms to be extracted.
7846
 
7847
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7848
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7849
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7850
 
7851
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7852
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7853
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7854
 
7855
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7856
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7857
 
7858
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7859
      Support ANT based XML files
7860
 
7861
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7862
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7863
      structure.
7864
 
7865
    * makefile.pl's
7866
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7867
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7868
 
7869
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7870
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7871
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7872
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7873
 
7874
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7875
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7876
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7877
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7878
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7879
      -- Auto.
7880
 
7881
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7882
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7883
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7884
 
7885
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7886
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7887
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7888
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7889
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7890
 
7891
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7892
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7893
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7894
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7895
      installed on the machine.
7896
 
7897
    * WINCE Targets
7898
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7899
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7900
 
7901
 
7902
 
7903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7904
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7906
Major changes:
7907
    * WIN32 platforms
7908
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7909
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7910
      and installed packages.
7911
 
7912
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7913
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7914
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7915
 
7916
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7917
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7918
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7919
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7920
      searched when looking for libraries.
7921
 
7922
Minor changes:
7923
    * GenerateFiles directive
7924
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7925
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7926
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7927
                          and drive letter
7928
 
7929
    * Src directive
7930
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7931
      directory of a package.
7932
 
7933
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7934
 
7935
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7936
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7937
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7938
 
7939
    * jats_rewrite utility
7940
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7941
 
7942
 
7943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7944
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7946
Major changes:
7947
    * SunWorks production builds
7948
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7949
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7950
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7951
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7952
      compiler documentation.
7953
 
7954
    * MOS Toolset
7955
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7956
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7957
 
7958
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7959
 
7960
Minor changes:
7961
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7962
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7963
      This should not affect current users.
7964
 
7965
    * Mugfile generation
7966
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7967
      specified.
7968
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7969
 
7970
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
7972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7973
Major changes:
7974
    MOS Toolset
7975
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7976
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7977
 
7978
Minor changes:
7979
    * Jats wrapper script
7980
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7981
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7982
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7983
 
7984
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7985
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
7986
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
7987
      may be suspect.
7988
 
7989
    * GenerateFiles directive
7990
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
7991
      the pathname to the specified package.  
7992
 
7993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7994
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
7995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7996
Major changes:
7997
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
7998
      build.xml files.
7999
 
8000
Minor changes:
8001
    * WIN32 toolset.
8002
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8003
 
8004
    * MakeAnt
8005
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8006
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8007
 
8008
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8009
 
8010
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8011
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8012
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8013
 
8014
    * MakeAnt directive
8015
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8016
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8017
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8018
 
8019
      Recommended usage:
8020
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8021
 
8022
Internal Changes
8023
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
8024

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8029
Major changes:
8030
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8031
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8032
      files packaged into the release.
8033
 
8034
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8038
 
8039
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8040
      The recommended platform is:
8041
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8042
 
8043
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8044
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8045
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8046
      components.
8047
 
8048
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

8052
 
8053
Minor changes:
8054
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8055
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8056
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8057
      by the package to be accessed.
8058
 
8059
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8060
      application or visual studio.
8061
 
8062
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8063
      and the JATS Core path.
8064
 
8065
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8066
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8067
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8068
 
8069
    * MOS Toolset
8070
      Add support for the TPT device
8071
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8072
 
8073
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8074
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8075
 
8076
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8077
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8078
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8079
 
8080
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8081
 
8082
Internal Changes
8083
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8084
      in jats.pl

8092
 
8093
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8094
 
8095
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8096
 
8097
Minor changes:
8098
    * Deployment support
8099
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8100
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8101
 
8102
    * 'build'
8103
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8104
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8105
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8106
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8107
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8108
 
8109
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8110
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8111
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8112
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8113
                                      the link phase.
8114
 
8115
    * BuildPkgArchive
8116
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8117
      Previously these were ignored.
8118
      Minor code cleanup
8119
 
8120
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8121
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8122
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8123
 
8124
    * SOLARIS targets
8125
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8126
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8127
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8128
 
8129
    * MugFile generation
8130
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8131
      included in the final package.
8132
 
8133
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8134
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8135
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8136
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8137
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8138
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8139
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8140
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8141
 
8142
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8143
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8144
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8145
            --Option=(some_text)
8146
            --Option=[some_text]
8147
            --Option={some_text}
8148
 
8149
Internal Changes
8150
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8151
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8152
      code.
8153
 
8154

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

8307
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8309
Major changes:
8310
    * WIN32 Toolset
8311
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8312
      use with multithreaded modes.
8313
 
8314
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8315
      --OnlyProd.
8316
 
8317
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8318
      within the makefile.pl.
8319
 
8320
Minor changes:
8321
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8322
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8323
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8324
      platforms.
8325
 
8326
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8327
 
8328

8329
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8330
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8331
Major changes:
8332
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8333
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8334
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8335
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8336
 
8337
    * Preliminary Support
8338
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8339
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8340
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8341
 
8342
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8343
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8344
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8345
 
8346
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8347
      building. The default build will build both.
8348
 
8349
Minor changes:
8350
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8351
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8352
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8353
 
8354
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8355
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8356
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8357
 
8358
 
8359
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8360
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8361
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8362
Major changes:
8363
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8364
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8365
      or all.
8366
 
8367
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8368
      the library or program.
8369
 
8370
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8371
 
8372
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8373
      library or any debug files.
8374
 
8375
    * GenerateFiles
8376
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8377
 
8378
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8379
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8380
 
8381
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8382
              The filename of the prereq file
8383
 
8384
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8385
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8386
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8387
 
8388
 
8389
Minor changes:
8390
    * create_dpkg utility
8391
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8392
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8393
      the package has been altered.
8394

8398
Major changes:
8399
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8400
      This is a WINCE target
8401
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8402
 
8403
    * New toolset
8404
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8405
 
8406
    * Modified toolset
8407
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8408
 
8409
    * Modified toolset
8410
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8411
 
8412
Minor changes:
8413
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8414
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8415
 
8416
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8417
 
8418
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8419
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8420
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8421
 
8422
      The change allows the construct
8423
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8424
      to be replaced by the simpler
8425
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8426
 
8427
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8428
      specified name.    
8429

8448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8449
Major changes:
8450
    * The "package.pl" file.
8451
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8452
      package name being taken from the build name
8453
 
8454
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8455
      package Build Name.
8456
 
8457
Minor changes:
8458
    * create_dpkg utility
8459
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8460
 
8461

8466
Minor changes:
8467
    * Dependancy generator
8468
      Correct two common situations
8469
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8470
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8471
           ansi, but is often done.
8472
 
8473
    * GCC toolset
8474
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8475
      being created in the correct place.
8476
 
8477
    * jats "label"
8478
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8479
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8480
 
8481
 
8482

Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8484
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8485
Major changes:
8486
 
8487
Minor changes:
8488
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8489
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8490
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8491
 
8492
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8493
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8494
 
8495
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8496
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8497
      package was not being transferred.
8498

Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8501
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8502
Major changes:
8503
    * Support for solaris_i386
8504
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8505
      binaries for this target.
8506
 
8507
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8508
      with the GCC compiler.
8509
 
8510
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8511
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8512
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8513
 
8514
Minor changes:
8515
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8516
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8517
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8518
 
8519
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8520
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8521
 
8522
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8523
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8525
Major changes:
8526
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8527
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8528
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8529
 
8530
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8531
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8532
 
8533
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8534
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8535
      with either " or ' characters.
8536
 
8537
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8538
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8539
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8540
 
8541
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8542
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8543
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8544
 
8545
    * Jats wrapper
8546
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8547
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8548
      further commands.
8549
 
8550
Minor changes:
8551
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8552
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8553
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8554
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8555
 
8556
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8557
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8558
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8559
Major changes:
8560
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8561
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8562
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8563
 
8564
      These options operation affect all components within the
8565
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8566
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8567
 
8568
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8569
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8570
 
8571
Minor changes:
8572
 
8573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8574
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8576
Major changes:
8577
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8578
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8579
 
8580
Minor changes:
8581
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8582
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8583
 
8584
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8585
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8586
 
8587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8588
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8590
Major changes:
8591
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8592
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8593
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8594
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8595
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8596
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8597
      installed.
8598
 
8599
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8600
      libraries that depend on each other.
8601
 
8602
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8603
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8604
 
8605
Minor changes:
8606
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8607
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8608
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8609
 
8610
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8611
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8612
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8613
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8614
 
8615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8616
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8617
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8618
Major changes:
8619
 
8620
Minor changes:
8621
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8622
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8623
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8624
      file.
8625
 
8626
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8627
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8628
 
8629
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8630
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8631
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8632
 
8633
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8634
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8635
 
8636
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8637
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8638
 
8639
    * WinCE toolsets
8640
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8641
      compiler specific libraries.
8642
 
8643
    * SOLARIS toolset
8644
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8645
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8646
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8647
 
8648
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8649
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8650
      cleaned up.
8651
 
8652
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8653
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8654
 
8655
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8656
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8657
      with either " or ' characters.
8658
 
8659
 
8660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8661
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8662
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8663
Major changes:
8664
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8665
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8666
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8667
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8668
 
8669
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8670
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8671
 
8672
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8673
      user.
8674
 
8675
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8676
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8677
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8678
 
8679
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8680
      for the   -Gf option.
8681
 
8682
Minor changes:
8683
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8684
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8685
 
8686
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8687
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8688
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8689
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8690
 
8691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8692
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8694
Major changes:
8695
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8696
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8697
 
8698
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8699
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8700
      data addresses for the board.
8701
 
8702
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8703
 
8704
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8705
 
8706
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8707
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8708
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8709
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8710
         PackageFile
8711
 
8712
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8713
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8714
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8715
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8716
 
8717
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8718
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8719
      to be installed and packaged.
8720
 
8721
Minor changes:
8722
 
8723
    * cache_dpkg utility
8724
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8725
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8726
 
8727
    * label utility
8728
      New option -auto to create and label
8729
 
8730
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8731
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8732
 
8733
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8734
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8735
      directory. ie:
8736
 
8737
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8738
 
8739
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8740
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8741
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8742
 
8743
 
8744
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8745
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8746
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8747
Major changes:
8748
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8749
 
8750
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8751
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8752
 
8753
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8754
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8755
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8756
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8757
 
8758
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8759
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8760
      compilation.
8761
 
8762
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8763
 
8764
Minor changes:
8765
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8766
      one is being produced.
8767
 
8768
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8769
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8770
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8771
 
8772
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8773
 
8774
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8775
 
8776
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8777
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8778
 
8779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8780
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8782
Major changes:
8783
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8784
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8785
 
8786
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8787
 
8788
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8789
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8790
      same directory
8791
 
8792
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8793
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8794
      documenattion.
8795
 
8796
Minor changes:
8797
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8798
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8799
 
8800
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8801
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8802
 
8803
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8804
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8805
 
8806
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8807
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8808
 
8809
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8810
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8811
      be exempt from this test.
8812
 
8813
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8814
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8815
 
8816
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8817
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8818
 
8819
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8820
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8821
      does.
8822
 
8823
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8824
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8825
 
8826
 
8827
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8828
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8830
Major changes:
8831
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8832
 
8833
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8834
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8835
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8836
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8837
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8838
 
8839
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8840
      operations.
8841
 
8842
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8843
 
8844
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8845
 
8846
Minor changes
8847
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8848
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8849
 
8850
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8851
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8852
      directory is not added to the library path.
8853
 
8854
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8855
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8856
 
8857
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8858
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8859
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8860
 
8861
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8862
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8863
      specific flags.
8864
 
8865
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8866
 
8867
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8868
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8869
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8870
 
8871
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8872
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8873
      JATS.
8874
 
8875
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8876
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8877
 
8878
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8879
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8880
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8881
 
8882
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8883
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8884
 
8885
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8886
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8887
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8888
 
8889
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8890
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8891
