      The use of a 'local_dpkg_archive' is deprecated in favor of the jats 
776
      'sandbox', which does a much better job.

897
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
898
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
899
 
900
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
901
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
902
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
903
      build errors.
904
 
905
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
906
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
907
 
908
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
909
      Shorthand for
910
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
911
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
912
 
913
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
914
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
915
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
916
      Examples: 
917
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
918
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
919
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
920
 
921
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
922
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
923
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
924
 
925
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
926
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
927
      build system.
928
 
929
Experimental:
930
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
931
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
932
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
938
 
939
Minor changes:
940
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
941
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
942
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
943
 
944
------------------------------------------------------------------------
945
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
946
------------------------------------------------------------------------
947
 
948
Minor changes:
949
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
950
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
951
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
952
 
953
    * Build Files
954
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
955
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
956
 
957
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
958
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
959
 
960
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
961
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
962
 
963
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
964
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
965
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
966
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
967
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
968
 
969
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
970
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
971
     different architectures.
972
 
973
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
974
     are directed to one or more machines.
975
 
976
     Intended uses:
977
        Windows: Creating installers. 
978
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
979
 
980
       All: Specialized packaging.
981
 
982
    * Makefiles
983
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
984
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
985
      Eg:
986
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
987
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
988
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
989
      It could also have been written as:
990
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
991
      but NOT as:
992
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
993
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
994
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
995
 
996
    * Utility: sandbox
997
      Subcommand info 
998
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1008
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1009
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1010
 
1011
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1012
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1013
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1014
 
1015
    * GenerateFiles directive
1016
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

1035
 
1036
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1037
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1038
 
1039
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1040
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1041
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1042
      machine may build the toolset.
1043
 
1044
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1045
      platform.

1066
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1067
 
1068
    * Utility: escrow
1069
      Added -skim option
1070
 
1071
    * Utility: sandbox
1072
      Many improvements:

1074
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1075
 
1076
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1077
 
1078
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1079
        if an error is detected.
1080
 
1081
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1082
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1083
 
1084
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1085
        skipped during the build.
1086
 
1087
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1095
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1096
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1097
 
1098
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support

2043
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2044

      Ensure that each project creates a unique makefile target.
2183
      Previously, projects based on the same solution/project file would
2184
      only build the last project due to a name clash

Minor changes:
2340
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2341
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2342
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2343
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2344
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2345
 
2346
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2347
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

      Added options:
2357
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2358
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2359
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2360
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2361
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2362
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2363
 
2364
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2365
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.
2366
      Ignore 'Designer.cs' files that have zero length.
2367

2373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2374
Major changes:
2375
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2376
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2377
      intended to build deployed software.
2378
 
2379
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2380
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2381
 
2382
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2383
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2384
 
2385
Minor changes:
2386
    * Jats wrapper script
2387
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2388
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2389
      Subversion instance of the command.
2390
 
2391
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2392
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2393
 
2394
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2395
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.
2396

2398
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2399
      file under windows.
2400
 
2401
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2402
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2403
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2404
 
2405
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2406
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2407
 
2408
    * GCC Toolchain
2409
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2425
Major changes:
2426
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2427
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2428
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2429
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2430
 
2431
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2432
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2442
Minor changes:
2443
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2444
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2445
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2446
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2447
      line.
2448
 
2449
    * Jats Configuration
2450
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2451
 
2452
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2453
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2454
      and Linux.
2455
 
2456
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2457
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
2465
    * Jats Core
2466
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2467
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2468
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2469
 
2470
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2471
      Used only by the build daemons.
2472
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2473
 
2474
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2475
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2476
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

2481
Major changes:
2482
 
2483
Minor changes:
2484
    * svnrelease utility
2485
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2486
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2487
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2488
 
2489
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2490
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2491
      the named tag.
2492
 
2493
    * svnrelease utility
2494
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2495
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2509
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2510
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2511
 
2512
    * ALL Toolsets
2513
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2514
 
2515
    * Utility vcsdiff
2516
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2517
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2518
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2535
      showing the user what to do.

    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2538
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2539
      we have build support for this target.
2540
 
2541
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2542
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2543
 
2544
Internal:
2545
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2546
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

2561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2562
Major changes:
2563
 
2564
Minor changes:
2565
    * Makefile generation
2566
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2567
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2568
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2569
      of warnings.
2570
 
2571
    * Makefile Generation
2572
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2573
 
2574
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
2575
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

2429 dpurdie 2580
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2581
Major changes:
2582
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2583
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2584
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2585
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2586
 
2587
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2588
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2589
      windows path scheme.
2590
 
2591
Minor changes:
2592
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2593
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2594
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2595
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2596
 
2597
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2598
        jats make clobber
2599
      This operates as before.
2600
 
2601
    * Utility: escrow
2602
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2603
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2604
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2605
 
2606
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2607
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2608
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2609
 
2610
    * Utility: svn : url
2611
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2612
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2613
 
2614
    * Utility: svn : import
2615
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2616
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2617
 
2618
    * Subversion Support
2619
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2620
      showing the user what to do.
2621
 
2622
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2623
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2624
      repositories.

2629
 
2630
Minor changes:
2631
    * Jats build
2632
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2633
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2634
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2635
 
2636
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2637
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2638
 
2639
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

2649
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2650
                 Can also display available branches.
2651
 
2054 dpurdie 2652

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2658
 
2659
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2660
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2661
      Modified two options:
2662
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2663
                        The named branch must not exist
2664
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2665
                        The named branch must exist
2666
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2701
Major changes:
2702
    * Jats Version Number
2703
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2722
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2723
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2724
 
2725
Minor changes:
2726
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2727
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2728
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2729
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.

2731
 
2732
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2733
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.

2748
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2749

2752
Minor changes:
2753
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr

      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2755
 
2756
    * Utility: svnrelease
2757
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2758
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2759
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2760
 
2761
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2762
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2763
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2764
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2765
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2766
 
2767
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2768
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2769

2772
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2773
 
2774
      Subcommand: populate
2775
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2776
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2777
      sandbox.
2778
 
2779
    * Subversion Support
2780
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2781
      repository is not supported.
2782
 
2783
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2784
      a progress indication.
2785
 
2786
    * Jats Online Documentation
2787
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2788
      online documentation.

2870
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2871
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2872
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2873
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2874
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2938
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2939
 
377 dpurdie 2940
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2941
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2942
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2943
 
2944
    * jats svnlabel
2945
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2946
 
2947
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2948
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2949
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2950
 
2951
    * Built Daemon support
2952
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2953
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2958
Major changes:
2959
    * GCC Toolset
2960
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2961
      New methodology is:
2962
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2963
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2964
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2965
        as the main binary.
2966
 
2967
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2968
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2969
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2970
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2971
      both worlds.
2972
 
2973
Minor changes:
2974
    * HTML Documentation

3015
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3016
 
3017
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)

      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3019
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within

3102
 
3103
Minor changes:
3104
    * HTML Help
3105
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3106
 
3107
    * jats build -noforce
3108
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3109
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3110
      be forced.
3111
 
3112
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3113
 
3114
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3115
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3116
 
3117
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3118
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3119
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3120
 
3121
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3122
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3123
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3124
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3125
 
3126
    * Utility: svnrelease
3127
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3128
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3129
 
3130
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3131
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3132
 
3133
    * Utility: svn
3134
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3135
      installed and can be used.
3136
 
3137
    * Toolset: CSharp
3138
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3139
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3140
      character.
3141
 
3142
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3143
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3144
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3145
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3146
      masking an error.
3147
 
3148
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3149
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3150
      enhancement.

3152
    * Toolset: dafbr
3153
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing

3156
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3157
        - Return correct path to package
3158
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3159
 
3160
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3161
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3162
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3163
 
3164
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3165
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3166
      packages.
3167
 
3168
    * make command: show
3169
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3170
      'jats make show' command.
3171
 
3172
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3173
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3174
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3175
 
3176
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3177
      executed on Unix machines.

3213
 
3214
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3215
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3216
 
3217
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3218
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3219
      developers.

      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
3381
 
3382
    * Jats MakeProject directive
3383
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
3384
      of the project builds to be specified.
3385
 
3386
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
3387
      to build a package.
3388
 
3389
    * MergeLibrary directive
3390
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain

3392
      suffix in the library name.
3393
 
3394
    * GenerateFiles directive
3395
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
3396
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
3397
 
3398
    * BuildPlatform
3399
      New option: --NoToolSet
3400
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3401
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3402
 
3403
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3404
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3405
      need toolset specific information.
3406
 
3407
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3408
 
3409
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

3414
      processing into jats.pl
3415
 
3416
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3417
      a ClearCase site.

3518
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
3519
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
3520
      resulting in multiple builds.
3521
 
3522
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3523
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
3524
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
3525
 
3526
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
3527
 
3528
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3529
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3530
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

3537
Minor changes:
3538
    * Jats label command
3539
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3540
      Not recommended for general use.
3541
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3542
      directories within the current view.
3543
 
3544
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3545
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3546
      elsewhere.
3547
 
3548
    * Jats save_build
3549
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3550
      the determination of a branch.
3551
 
3552
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3553
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3554
 
3555
    * Jats build
3556
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3557
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3558
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3559
 
3560
    * Borland6 toolset
3561
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3562
      to match the documented install location of:
3563
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3564
 
3565
    * Jats build
3566
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3567
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3568
      This is a very quick operation.
3569
 
3570
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3571
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3572
 
3573
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3574
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3575
      files are only recreated if need be.
3576
 
3577
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3578
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3579
      make the package.
3580
 
3581
    * Jats sandbox
3582
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3583
 
3584
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3585
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3586
 
3587
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3588
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3589
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3590
      is performed.
3591
 
3592
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3630
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3631
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3632
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3633
 
3634
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3635
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3636
 
3637
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3638
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3639
      platform builds.
3640
 
3641
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3642
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3643
      directory tree.
3644
 
3645

3659
Major changes:
3660
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3661
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3662
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3663
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3664
 
3665
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3666
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3667
 
3668
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3669
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3670
 
3671
      Examples:
3672
            jats upddep -show
3673
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3674
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3675
 
3676
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3677
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3678
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3679
 
3680
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3681
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3682
 
3683
Minor changes:
3684

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3692
Major changes:
3693
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3694
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3695
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3696
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3697
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3698
      stream.
3699
 
3700
      Example:
3701
 
3702
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3703
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3704
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3705
                     );
3706
Minor changes:
3707
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3708
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3709
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3710
      directive.
3711
 
3712
    * GCC Toolkit
3713
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3714
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3715
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3716
      the point of termination.
3717
 
3718
    * Jats save_build utility
3719
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3720
      under windows.
3721
 
3722
    * Jats sandbox
3723
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3724
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3725
      in different sandboxes.
3726
 
3727
    * Jats release
3728
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3729

3732
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3733
Major changes:
3734
 
3735
Minor changes:
3736
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3737
      Added -locatedir=name
3738
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3739
      directory.
3740
 
3741
    * jats label utility
3742
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3743
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3744
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3745
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3746
 
3747
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3748

Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 3751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3752
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3753
 
3754
Minor changes:
3755
    * WinCe Toolsets
3756
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3757
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3758
        noExceptions            - Disable
3759
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3760
      Example:
3761
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3762
 
3763
    * Solaris targets
3764
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3765
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3766
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3767
      machine type.
3768
 
3769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3770
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3772
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3773
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3774
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3775
      project files.
3776
 
3777
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3778
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3779
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3780
 
3781
Minor changes:
3782
    * Added more internal documentation
3783
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3784
 
3785
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3786
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3787
 
3788
    * Jats save_build utility
3789
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3790
      under windows.
3791
 
3792
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3793
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3794
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3795
      libraries.
3796
 
3797
    * Solaris builds
3798
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3799
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3800
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3801
      of the build failure.
3802
 
3803
 
3804
Internal changes:
3805
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3806
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3807
 
3808
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3809
      PkgArchive topics.

3813
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3814
Major changes:
3815
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3816
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3817
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3818
      existing 32-bit builds.
3819
 
3820
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3821
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3822
 
3823
Minor changes:
3824
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3825
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3826
 
3827
    * Package searching
3828
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3829
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3830
 
3831
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3832
 
3833
    * jats help
3834
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3835
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3836
 
3837
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3838
      with one of:
3839
        jats -h
3840
        jats help jats
3841
 
3842
Internal:
3843
    * cmdfile utility
3844
      Added macros:
3845
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3846
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3847
 
3848
      Corrected
3849
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3850
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3851
 
3852
      Extended
3853
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3854
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3855
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3856
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3861
Major changes:
3862
 
3863
Minor changes:
3864
 
3865
Internal changes
3866
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3867
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3868
      Useful side effects include:
3869
 
3870
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3871
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3872
 
3873
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3874
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3875
 
3876
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3877
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3878
        BuildPkgArchive
3879
 
313 dpurdie 3880
    * Perl Modules
3881
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3882
      release. This will:
3883
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3884
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3885
          reported by ERG.
3886
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3891
Major changes:
3892
 
3893
Minor changes:
3894
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3895
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3896
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3897
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3898
 
3899
    * Jats label utility
3900
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3901
 
3902
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3903
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3904
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3905
 
3906
    * Jats core
3907
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3908
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3909
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3917
    * CSHARP toolset
3918
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3919
      This is now fixed.
3920
 
309 dpurdie 3921
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3922
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3923
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3924
 
3925
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3926
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3927
 
3928

3933
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3934
    * Generating makefiles
3935
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3936
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3937
      an error.
3938
 
3939
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3940
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3941
 
3942
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3943
      Highly specialized directive.

Major changes:
3950
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3951
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3952
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3953
 
3954
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3955
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3956
 
3957
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3958
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3959
      Support includes
3960
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3961
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3962
 
3963
Minor changes:
3964
    * Build file processing
3965
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3966
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3967
 
3968
    * MOS builds
3969
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3970
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3971
 
3972
    * MOS builds
3973
      New 'known' product: PICP
3974
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3975
 
3976
    * GenerateFiles directive
3977
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
3978
        under windows.
3979
 
3980
        .
3981
 
3982
    * Verbose builds now show command files
3983
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
3984
 
3985
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
3986
      to the output stream.
3987
 
3988
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
3989
 
3990
    * Windows Shell
3991
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
3992
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
3993
 
3994
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
3995
 
3996
    * H8S toolset
3997
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
3998
 
3999
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4000
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4001
 
4002
Internal changes
4003
    * WinCe builds
4004
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4005
      content of the file.
4006
 
4007
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4008
 
4009
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4010
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4022
Major changes:
4023
 
4024
Minor changes:
4025
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4026
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4027
      Changes are transparent to users.
4028
 
4029
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4030
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4031
      this occurs.
4032
 
4033
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4034
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4035
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4036
      automated build framework.
4037
 
4038
    * jats sandbox command
4039
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4040
      'create' command.
4041
 
4042
    * jats command aliases. Added
4043
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4044
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4045

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4049
Major changes:
4050
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4051
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4052
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4053
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4054
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4055
      will work as expected
4056
 
4057
Minor changes:
4058
    * VS2008 Toolset
4059
      Picking up incorrect config details
4060
      May result in a warning message.
4061
 
4062
    * gen_cots utility
4063
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4064

Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
4114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4115
Major changes:
4116
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4117
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4118
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4119
 
4120
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4121
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4122
 
4123
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4124
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4125
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4126
           names cannot be changed.
4127
 
4128
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4129
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4130
 
4131
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4132
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4133
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4134
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4135
 
4136
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4137
      file.
4138
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4139
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4140
      MyPackage.dpk.
4141
 
4142
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4143
      file.
4144
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4145
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4146
      MyDll.dpr.
4147
 
4148
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4149
      file.
4150
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4151
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4152
      MyProg.dpr.
4153
 
4154
Minor changes:
4155
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4156
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4157
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4158
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4159
 
4160
    * BuildVersion directive
4161
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4162
      in a Delphi Unit.
4163
 
4164
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4165
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4166
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4167
      'know' the location of the files.
4168
 
4169
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4170
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4171
 
4172
Internal Changes:
4173
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4174
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4175
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4176
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4177
 
4178
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4179
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4180
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4181

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4184
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4185
Major changes:
4186
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4187
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4188
      information for purely C++ builds.
4189
 
289 dpurdie 4190
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4191
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4192
 
289 dpurdie 4193
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4194
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4195
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4196
 
4197
Minor changes:
4198
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4199
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4200
 
4201
    * updatenodespec utility
4202
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4203
      Manager database.

4226
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4227
 
4228
Minor changes:
4229
    * MergeLibrary directive
4230
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4231
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4232
 
4233

4238
 
4239
Minor changes:
4240
    * New command: jats make show
4241
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4242
      used in the build.
4243
 
4244
    * Escrow command
4245
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4246
 
4247
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4248
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4249
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4250
 
4251
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4252
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4253
 
4254

277 dpurdie 4256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4257
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4258
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4259
 
279 dpurdie 4260
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4261
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4262
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4263
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4264
 
4265
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4266
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4267
 
4268
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4269
 
4270
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4271
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4272
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4273
 
4274
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4275
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4276
        processed.
4277
 
4278
      Removed the '-delete' option
4279
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4280
 
277 dpurdie 4281
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4282
    * Sandbox command
4283
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4284
 
4285
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4286
      target from consideration in the build set.
4287
 
4288
    * MCR Toolset
4289
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4290
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4291
 
4292
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4293
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4294
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4295
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4296
 
4297
    * Jats run_test command
4298
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4299
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4300
 
4301
    * descpkg file
4302
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4303
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4304
 
4305
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4306
     Now contains build trace information
4307
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4308
 
4309
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4310
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4311
     it contains 'jar' files.
4312
 
4313
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4314
 
4315
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4316
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4317
 
4318
   * BuildVersion directive
4319
     Form:
4320
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4321
     now works as expected.
4322
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4323
 
4324
Internal Changes:
4325
 
4326
    * Error reporting mechanism
4327
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4328
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4329
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

4340
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4341
    then starts.
4342
 
4343
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4344
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4345
 
4346
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4347
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4348
    non-platform option.
4349
 
279 dpurdie 4350
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    * Jats Utility: dstatus
4364
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4365
 
4366
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4367
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4368
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4369
 
4370
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4371
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4372
 
4373
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4374
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4375
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform

4377
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4378
 
4379
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
4380
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4381
      to the invoked application.
4382
 
4383
Internal Changes:
4384
    * JatsCopy Package

      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4508
 
4509
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
4510
      New options:
4511
        no_define_source_file
4512
        define_source_file              (Default)
4513
 
4514
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4515
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4516
 
4517
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4518
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
4519
      compatibility.
4520
 
4521
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

4525
            --InstallProg=list
4526
 
4527
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4528
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4529
      GenerateCab.
4530
 
4531
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags
4532

4539
            --Comment=text
4540
            --Description=text
4541
            --Product=name
4542
 
4543
Internal Changes:
4544
    * These utility 'gen_winrc' now uses module used by the BuildVersion
4545
      directive to created the resource file.
4546
 
4547
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in
4548
      a standalone manner by gen_winrc.pl.

4641
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
4642
 
4643
      Suggested new usage:
4644

4663
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4664
      time.
4665
 
4666
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4667
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4683
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4684
      Previously was being done at two places
4685
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4686
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4687
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4688
 
4689
    * JATS make: Command line
4690
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4691

4699
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4700
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4701
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4702

4748
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4749
 
4750
Minor changes:

4763
 
4764
      New platforms:
4765
        CSHARP2005
4766
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4767
         Support extends to allow:
4768
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4769
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4770
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4771
 
4772
        VS2005
4773
         Support extends to allow:
4774
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4775
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4776
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4777
 
4778
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4779
      through a version selector:
4780
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4781
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4782
 
4783
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4784
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4785
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4786
 
4787
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4788
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4789
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4790
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4791
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4792
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4793
          under VS2005.
4794
 
4795
Minor changes:
4796
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4799
 
4800
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4801
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4802
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4803
 
4804
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4805
 
4806
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4807
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4808
 
4809
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4810
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4811
      a minimal value of perl.
4812
 
4813
      Removed excessive require statements.
4814
 
4815
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4816
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4817
      Include JATS specific files for
4818
        1) Windows
4819
        2) Linux
4820
 
4821
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4822
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4823
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4824
      machines.
4825
 
4826
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4827
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4828
 
4829
    * JATS Environment
4830
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4831
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4832
 
4833
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4834
      wrapper scripts.
4835
 
4836
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4837
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4838
      Spell check help and code.

4886
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name
4887
 
4888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4889
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4891
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4892
  * New toolset and platform
4893
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4894
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4895
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4896
    this platform.
4897
 
4898
Minor changes:
4899
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4900
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4901
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4902
    work.
4903
 
4904
  * Jats utility: release
4905
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4906
    published to dpkg_archive.
4907
 
249 dpurdie 4908
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4909
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4910
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4911
    supported for ANT builds.
4912
 
4913
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4914
        releasemanager.releasename
4915
        releasemanager.projectname
4916
 
4917
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4918
    tagged data item of the form
4919
 
4920
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4921
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4922
 
4923
  * Mug File Generation
4924
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4925
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4926
 
4927
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4928
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4929
    required.
4930
 
4931
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4932
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4933
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4934
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4935
    the files in order to use them.
4936
 
4937
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4938
    locate the file.
4939
 
4940
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4941
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4942
 
4943
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4944
        * CSharp
4945
        * Properties
4946
        * WinRC
4947
 
4948
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4949
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4950
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4951
    Value is correctly assigned.
4952
 
4953
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4954
Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4955
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4956
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4957
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4958
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4959
 
4960
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4961
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4962
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4963
 
4964
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4965
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4966
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4967
 
4968
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4969
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4970
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4971
 
4972
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4973
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4974
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4975
    correct.
4976
 
4977
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
4978
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
4979
 
4980
Minor changes:
4981
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
4982
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 4983
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 4984
 
4985
    This should improve build reproducibility.
4986
    This will simplify new user setup.
4987
 
4988
  * All Unix Toolsets
4989
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
4990
    on unix systems
4991
 
4992
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
4993
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
4994
    on some Solaris Machines.
4995
 
4996
  * JATS -version=<version>
4997
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
4998
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
4999

5042
 
5043
  * JATS builds
5044
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
5046
    mode.
5047
 
5048
  * JATS makefiles
5049
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5050
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5051
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5052
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5053
                            SetList directive.
5054

5063
 
5064
  * JATS buildfile processing
5065
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5066
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5067
    of JATS.
5068

    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
5099
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5100
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5101
 
5102
    * MOS Toolset
5103
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5104
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5105
 
5106
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

    * Extract/Release utility.
5153
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
5154
      that can handle spaces
5155
 
5156
    * MOS Compiler
5157
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5158
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5159
 
5160
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5161
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
5162

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 5180
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5181
 
5182
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5183
      <project> field.
5184
 
5185
    * CCdiff utility
5186
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.

5199
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5200
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5201
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5202
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5203
 
5204
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5205
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5206
 
5207
    * Jats wrapper
5208
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5209
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5210
 
5211

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5214
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5215
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5216
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5217
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5218
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5219
 
5220
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5221
 
5222
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5223
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5224
 
5225
    * Running Jats
5226
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5227
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5228
      This may affect some windows developers.
5229
 
5230
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5231
      Future versions will generate an error.
5232
 
5233
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5234
 
5235
Minor changes:
5236
    * Perl Version Check
5237
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5238
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5239
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5240
 
5241
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5242
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5243
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5244
      build.
5245
 
5246
    * Jats Internals
5247
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5248
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5249
 
5250
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5251
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5252
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5253
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5254
      process.
5255
 
5256
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5257
      Only works under Windows.
5258
 
5259
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5260
 
5261
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5262
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5263
 
5264
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5265
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5266
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5267
 
5268
    * Jats eprog
5269
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5270
      directory.
5271
 
5272
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5273
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5274
      build metrics.
5275
 
5276

Major changes:
5280
 
5281
Minor changes:
5282
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5283
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5284
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5285
      automated build system. New options are:
5286
        -pname=Package_Name
5287
        -pversion=Package_Version
5288
 
5289
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5290
      transferring the package. New options are:
5291
        -test
5292
 
5293
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5294
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5295
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5296
 
5297
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5298
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5299
 
5300
    * Solaris Toolset
5301
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5302
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5303
      programs are still supported.

5308
Major changes:
5309
 
5310
Minor changes:
5311
    * WINCE toolsets
5312
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5313
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5314
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5315
      when header files cannot be found.
5316
 
5317
    * GenerateFiles directive
5318
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5319
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5320
      that are difficult to solve.
5321
 
5322
    * MakePerlModule directive
5323
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5324
      to the the module builder.
5325
 
5326
    * Jats Tool: label
5327
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5328
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5329
      -dirs=xxx options.
5330
 
5331
    * Jats Tool: release
5332
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5333
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5334
 
5335
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5336
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5337
 
5338
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5339
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5340
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5341
 
5342
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5349
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5350
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5351
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5352
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5353
 
5354
Minor changes:
5355
    * label utility
5356
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5357
 
5358
    * make package and install operations
5359

5361
 
5362
    * make clean up
5363
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5364
 
5365
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5366
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5367
      minor file transformations such as:
5368
        Copy, with optional rename
5369
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5370
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5371
 
5372
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5373
 
5374
    * jats release utility
5375
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5376
      in place.
5377
 
5378
    * escrow utility
5379
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in

    * Makefile generation
5389
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5390
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5391
      generate phase early.

Major changes:
5397
 
5398
Minor changes:
5399
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5400
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5401
 
5402
    * Makefile generation
5403
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5404
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5405
 
5406
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5407
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5408
 
5409
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5410
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5411
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5412
 
5413
    * jats_rewrite utility
5414
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5415
 
5416
    * jats escrow utility
5417
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5418
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5419
 
5420
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5421
      inconsistent packages.
5422
 
5423
    * jats make help
5424
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5425
      available within the current build.
5426
 
5427
    * jats makefiles
5428
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5429
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5430
 
5431
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5432
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5433
 
5434
    * gcc toolset
5435
      SharedLibries.
5436
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5437
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5438
 
5439
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5440
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5441
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5442
 
5443
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5444
        New options:
5445
            --MultiScan
5446
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5447
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5448
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5454
Major changes:
5455
 
5456
Minor changes:
5457
    PackageLib directive
5458
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5459
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5460
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5461
 
5462
    MakefileGenerate directive
5463
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5464
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5465
 
5466
    Multiple Parent detection
5467
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5468
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5469
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5470
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5471
 
5472
    Solaris Toolset
5473
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5474
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5475
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5476
    link.
5477
 
5478
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5479
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5480
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5481
 
5482
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5483
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5484
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5485
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5490
Major changes:
5491
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5492
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5493
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5494
 
5495
    Summary of changes:
5496
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5497
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5498
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5499
          flexibility.
5500
 
5501
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5502
 
5503
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5504
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5505
          interface directory and associated build information.
5506
 
5507
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5508
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5509
          than one second.
5510
 
5511
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5512
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5513
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5514
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5515
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5516
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5517
 
5518
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5519
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5520
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5521
 
5522
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5523
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5524
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5525
          building them.
5526
 
5527
        - Detection of build file changes
5528
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5529
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5530
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5531
 
5532
        - Quieter make output
5533
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5534
 
5535
 
5536
Minor changes:
5537
    MakeAnt Directive
5538
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5539
 
5540
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5541
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5542
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5543
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5544
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5545
 
5546
    CSHARP toolset
5547
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5548

5555
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5556
    are generated.
5557
 
5558
    MakeAnt
5559
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5560
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5561
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5562
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5563
 
5564
    MCR platform
5565
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

Minor changes:
5574
    MakeAnt directive extended
5575
    New option: --PackageBase
5576
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5577
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5578
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5579
 
5580
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5581
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5582
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5583
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5603
 
5604
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5605
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5606
 
5607
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5608
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5609
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5610
 
5611
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5612
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5613
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5614
    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
5643
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5644
 
5645
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5646
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5647
      last.
5648
 
5649
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5650
 
5651
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5652
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5653
 
5654
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5655
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5656
 
5657
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5658
 
5659
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5660
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5661
 
5662
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5663
 
5664
 
5665
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5666

    * Solaris Toolset
5678
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5679
      dependent packages.
5680
 
5681
    * RunTest operation
5682
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5683
 
5684
    * Csharp toolkit
5685
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5686

5688
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5690
Major changes:
5691
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5692
 
5693
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5694
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5695
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5696
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5697
      path.
5698
 
5699
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5700
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5701
      reproducible.
5702
 
5703
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5704
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5705
 
5706
      There are several aspects to the change
5707
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5708
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5709
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5710
 
5711
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5712
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5713
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5714
          controlled separately.
5715
 
5716
Minor changes:
5717
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5718
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5719
        Remove duplicates
5720
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5721

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5725
Major changes:
5726
 
5727
Minor changes:
5728
    * Makefile sanity test
5729
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5730
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5731
 
5732
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5733
      x86 machine.
5734
 
5735
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5736
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5737
 
5738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5739
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5741
Major changes:
5742
    * RunTest directive
5743
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5744
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5745
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5746
 
5747
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5748
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5749
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5750
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5751
 
5752
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5753
        builder within the current toolset.
5754
 
5755
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5756
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5757
 
5758
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5759
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5760
      containing the RunTest directive.
5761
 
5762
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5763
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5764
 
5765
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5766
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5767
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5768
 
5769
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5770
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5771
                            P or D suffix.
5772
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5773
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5774
 
5775
Minor changes:
5776
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5777
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5778
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5779
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5780
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5781
 
5782
    * Save Build Utility
5783
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5784
      used in a ripple build.
5785
 
5786
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5787
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5788
 
5789
    * Release Utility
5790
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5791
      when an error is encountered.
5792
 
5793
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5794
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5795
 
5796
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5797
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5798
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5799
 
5800
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5801
      before the makefiles are created.
5802
 
5803
    * TestProg directive
5804
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5805
 
5806
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5807
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5808

Version: JATS_2.66.1                                Released: 20-Jul-07
5811
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5812
Major changes:
5813
    * New build target
5814
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5815
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5816
 
5817
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5818
            DEVLINUX
5819
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5820
 
5821
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5822
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5823
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5824
 
5825
Minor changes:
5826
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5827
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5828
 
5829
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5830
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5831
 
5832
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5833
      and .cs files.
5834
 
5835
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5836
      thing.
5837
 
5838
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5839
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5840
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5841
      were it places temp files.
5842
 
5843
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5844
      interaction with other builds.
5845
 
5846
    * Release utility command
5847
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5848
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5849
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5854
Major changes:
5855
  * Support for building CSHARP code
5856
    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
5857
 
5858
    Supports the handling of .resx files
5859
 
5860
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5861
    libraries
5862
 
5863
Minor changes:
5864
  * Unit Tests
5865
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5866
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5867
 
5868
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed
5869
    as a Script.

5900
  * WINCE Support
5901
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5902
 
5903
  * Removed the following targets
5904
        TP5600
5905
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5906
        TP5600_EMU
5907
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5908
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5909
 
5910
  * Deployment
5911
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5912
 
5913
  * build.pl
5914
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5915
 
5916
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5917
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5918
 
5919
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5920
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5921
    build.
5922
 
5923
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5924
 
5925
  * Tool: escrow
5926
     New features
5927
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5928
     are not in the SBOM.
5929
 
5930
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5931
 
5932
     Specify packages to be ignored.

5936
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5937
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5938
Major changes:
5939
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5940
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5941
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5942
 
5943
  * GenerateFiles
5944
    Added the options:
5945
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5946
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5947
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5948
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5949
 
5950
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5951
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5952
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5953
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5954
                                  required.
5955
 
5956
 
5957
Minor changes:
5958
  * GenerateFile directive
5959
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5960
 
5961
  * GCC Toolset
5962
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5963
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5964
    be rebuilt.
5965
 
5966
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5967
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5968
 
5969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5970
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5971
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5972
Major changes:
5973
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5974
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5975
    environment variables.
5976
 
5977
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
5978
            moved.
5979
 
5980
    This will affect users that:
5981
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
5982
           Some tools that build deployable packages
5983
 
5984
        2) Use the ABT system
5985
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
5986
           the required configuration
5987
 
5988
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
5989
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
5990
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
5991
    Windows
5992
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 5993
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
5994
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5995
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 5996
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 5997
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
5998
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 5999
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6000
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
6001
 
6002
 
6003
  * New build platforms
6004
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6005
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6006
 
6007
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6008
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6009
 
6010
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6011
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6012
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6013
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6014
 
6015
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6016
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6017
    release.
6018
 
6019
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6020
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6021
 
6022
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6023
    need to be converted.
6024
 
6025
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6026
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6027
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6028
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6029
    used for different targets platforms.
6030
 
6031
  * Sandbox support
6032
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6033
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6034
 
6035
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6036

Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6043
Major changes:
6044
  * MakeAnt directive
6045
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6046
 
6047
    New options
6048
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6049
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6050
 
6051
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6052
    run_unit_tests phase.
6053
 
6054
  * Sandbox support
6055
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6056
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6057
 
6058
Minor changes:
6059
  * jats build
6060
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6061
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6062
 
6063
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6064
 
6065
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6066
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6067
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6068
 
6069
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6070
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6071
 
6072
  * JATS.BAT
6073
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6074
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6075
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6076
 
6077
  * jats label
6078
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6079
 
6080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6081
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6083
Major changes:
6084
  * New build platform:
6085
        LMOS_TP5600
6086
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6087
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6088
 
6089
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6090
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6091
    describe the group of platforms.
6092
 
6093
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6094
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6095
    build these targets.
6096
 
6097
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6098
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6099
 
6100
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6101
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6102
 
6103
  * New build platform: WINCE
6104
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6105
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6106
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6107
 
6108
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6109
            WCEIT3000
6110
            WCEPA961
6111
            WCEPA962
6112
            WCEPCM7220
6113
            WCEPSION_420
6114
            WCEPSPC_arm
6115
            WCEPSPC_emu
6116
            WCEX86A420
6117
            WCEX86A500
6118
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6119
 
6120
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6121
 
6122
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6123
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6124
    that contain packaging directives.
6125
 
6126
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6127
    very unusual configurations.
6128
 
6129
Minor changes:
6130
  * Directive: PackageFile
6131
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6132
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6133
    an '='.
6134
 
6135
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6136
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6137
 
6138
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6139
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6140
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6141
 
6142
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6143
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6144
 
6145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6146
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6147
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6148
Major changes:
6149
 
6150
  * JATS release command
6151
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6152
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6153
 
6154
    Rules are:
6155
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6156
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6157
                            File will be placed on a branch
6158
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6159
                            New directory will branch
6160
 
6161
Minor changes:
6162
  * JATS release command
6163
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6164
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6165
 
6166
  * JATS label command
6167
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6168
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6169
 
6170
  * JATS make
6171
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6172
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6173
    was re-packaged.
6174
 
6175
  * JATS escrow
6176
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6177
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6178
 
6179
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6180
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6181
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6182
 
6183
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6184
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6185
    interface directory.
6186
 
6187
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6188
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6189
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6190
    directory as seen by the package.
6191
 
6192
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6193
 
6194
  * JAVA 6
6195
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6196
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6197
 
6198
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6199
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6200
 
6201
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6202
 
6203
  * Jats command: vars
6204
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6205
    These indicate potential problems.
6206
 
6207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6208
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6209
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6210
Major changes:
6211
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6212
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6213
    libarry is also created.
6214
 
6215
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6216
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6217
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6218
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6219
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6220
    information contained within the file.
6221
 
6222
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6223
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6224
 
6225
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6226
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6227
 
6228
  * Building Perl Modules
6229
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6230
    documentation on the build machine.
6231
 
6232
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6233
 
6234
Minor changes:
6235
  * jats create_dpkg
6236
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6237
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6238
 
6239
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6240
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6242
Major changes:
6243
  * JATS JAVA build target
6244
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6245
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6246
 
6247
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6248
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6249
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6250
    is then picked up as the default version.
6251
 
6252
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6253
    build.pl file.
6254
 
6255
Minor changes:
6256
  * jats release
6257
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6258
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6259
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6260
 
6261
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6262
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6263
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6264
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6265
    the name of the view.
6266
 
6267
  * GenerateFiles directive
6268
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6269
 
6270
  * MOS Toolset
6271
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6272
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6273
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6274
 
6275
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6276
 
6277
 
6278
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6279
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6281
Major changes:
6282
 
6283
Minor changes:
6284
  * JATS environment
6285
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6286
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6287
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6288
 
6289
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6290
 
6291
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6292
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6293
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6294
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6295
    to be packaged.
6296
 
6297
  * Generated makefiles
6298
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6299
 
6300
  * Generating MOS THX files
6301
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6302
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6303
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6304
 
6305
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6306
 
6307
  * JATS release
6308
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6309
 
6310
  * JATS extract
6311
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6312
 
6313
  * JATS Toolset
6314
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6315
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6316
 
6317
 
6318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6319
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6320
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6321
Major changes:
6322
 
6323
Minor changes:
6324
  * jats label
6325
    Added a -vob=name option
6326
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6327
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6328
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6329
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6330
 
6331
    Added a -user=name option
6332
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6333
    label to the named user.
6334
 
6335
  * jats release
6336
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6337
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6338
 
6339
  * JATS build.pl
6340
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6341
    ie:
6342
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6343
 
6344
 
6345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6346
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6348
Major changes:
6349
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6350
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6351
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6352
    the makefile internals. ie:
6353
        --Var(BuildName)
6354
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6355
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6356
 
6357
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6358
 
6359
  * GenerateFiles
6360
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6361
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6362
 
6363
  * BuildPlatforms
6364
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6365
 
6366
Minor changes:
6367
  * GCC Toolset
6368
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6369
 
6370
Internal changes:
6371
  * GenerateFiles
6372
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6373
 
6374
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6375
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6376
 
6377
 
6378
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6379
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6380
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6381
Major changes:
6382
  * Caching JATS
6383
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6384
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6385
 
6386
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6387
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6388
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6389
 
6390
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6391
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6392
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6393
 
6394
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6395
 
6396
Minor changes:
6397
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6398
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6399
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6400
 
6401
  * jats build
6402
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6403
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6404
    processed by the build.
6405
 
6406
  * jats build
6407
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6408
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6409
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6410
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6411
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6412
 
6413
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6414
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6415
    Path is not specified.
6416
 
6417
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6418
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6419
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6420
        --Dir=$Pinc
6421
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6422
 
6423
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6424
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6425
    Windows platform.
6426
 
6427
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6428
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6429
            by 'purecov.
6430
 
6431
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6432
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6433
 
6434
        - OPTIONS=purify
6435
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6436
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6437
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6438

6441
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6442
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6443
Major changes:
6444
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6445
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6446
    Example:
6447
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6448
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6449
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6450
 
6451
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6452
    been determined.
6453
 
6454
Minor changes:
6455
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6456
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6457
    located at build-time.

6459
  * Unix based systems

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6562
 
6563
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6564
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6565
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6566
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6567
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6568
 
6569
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6570
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6571
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6572
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6573
 
6574
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6575
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
6590
  * JATS wrapper script
6591
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6592
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6593
    to setup links to system programs.
6594

6616
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6617
        no_misalign         - Default
6618
 
6619
        multithread         - Default

    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6637
    Theses are:
6638
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6639
        SOLARIS_AMD
6640
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6641
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6642
 
6643
Minor changes:
6644

Major changes:
6655
 
6656
Minor changes:
6657
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6658
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6659
    messages
6660
 
6661
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6662
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6663
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6664
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6665
 
6666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6667
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
6668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6669
Major changes:
6670
 
6671
Minor changes:
6672
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6673
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6674
    library without creating the body of the library:
6675
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6676
 
6677
 
6678
  * MOS toolsets
6679
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6680
    library without creating the body of the library:
6681
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6682
 
6683
  * JATS BIN directories
6684
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6685
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6686
    using autoconf.
6687
 
6688
  * Generate directive
6689
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6690
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6691
 
6692
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6693

6698
Major changes:
6699
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6700
    Initial release.

6706
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6708
Major changes:
6709
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6710
    Initial release.
6711
 
6712
  * Packaging directives
6713
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6714
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6715
 
6716
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6717
        SOLARIS
6718
        WIN32
6719
 
6720
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6721
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6722
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6723
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6724
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6725
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6726
 
6727
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6728
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6729
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6730
 
6731
 
6732
Minor changes:
6733
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6734
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6735
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6736
 
6737
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6738
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6739
    location
6740
 
6741
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6742
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6743
 
6744
  * Utility genrc
6745
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6746
 
6747
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6748
    Added option: -new
6749
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6750
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6751
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6752
 
6753
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6754
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6755
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6756
 
6757
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6758
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6759
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6760
 
6761
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6762
   features - in a uniform manner.
6763
 
6764
 
6765
Internal Changes:
6766
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6767
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6768
 
6769
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6770
        1) Platform information available at build time
6771
        2) Dynamic platform names
6772
 
6773
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6774
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6775
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6776
 
6777
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6778
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6779
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6780
 
6781
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6782
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6783
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6784
    needed.
6785
 
6786
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6787
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6788
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6789
    files from all of these.

6792
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6801
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6802
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6803
Major changes:
6804
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6805
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6806
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6807
 
6808
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6809
 
6810
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6811
    the operations.
6812
 
6813
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6814
 
6815
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6816
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6817
 
6818
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6819
 
6820
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6821
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6822
 
6823
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6824
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6825
    Extended the built-in help
6826
    Added useful error messages
6827
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6828
 
6829
  * WinCE toolset
6830
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6831
 
6832
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6833
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6834
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6835
 
6836
Minor changes:
6837
  * JATS wrapper script
6838
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6839
    the command line.
6840
 
6841
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6842
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6843
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6844
 
6845
Internal Changes:
6846
  * Common Error Reporting
6847
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6848
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6849
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6850
    level.
6851
 
6852
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6853
    displayed.
6854
 
6855
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6856
 
6857
  * Added JatsSystem module
6858
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6859

6868
 
6869
  * IAR toolset
6870
    Added AT7272 support
6871
 
6872

    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6883
    use.
6884
 
6885
 
6886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6887
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6889
Major changes:
6890
 
6891
Minor changes:
6892
  * Mictotec toolset
6893
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6894
    builds.
6895
 
6896
  * JATS Core
6897
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6898
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6899
    behaviour.
6900
 
6901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6902
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6904
Major changes:
6905
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6906
    Deployment package will be affected.
6907
 
6908
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6909
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6910
 
6911
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6912
 
6913
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6914
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6915
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6916
    packages.
6917
 
6918
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6919
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6920
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6921
 
6922
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6923
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6924
 
6925
Minor changes:
6926
  * SubDir directive
6927
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6928
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6929
 
6930
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6931
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6932
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6933
    of the file usage.
6934
 
6935
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6936
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6937
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6938
 
6939
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6940
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6941
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6942
 
6943
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6944
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6945
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6946
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6947
 
6948
 
6949
Internal Changes:
6950
  * Code refactor
6951
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6952
 
6953
  * Deployment utilities
6954
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6955
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6956
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6957
    the module can locate the file.
6958
 
6959
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6960
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6961
 
6962
  * JATS core
6963
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6964
 
6965
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6966
 
6967
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6968
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6969
    through the use of environment variables.
6970
 
6971
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6972
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6973
 
6974
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6975
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6976
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
6977
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
6978
 
6979
  * Make environment
6980
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
6981
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
6982
 
6983
 
6984

6985
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
6986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6987
Major changes:
6988
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
6989
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
6990
 
6991
 
6992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6993
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
6994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6995
 
6996
Not Released.
6997
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
6998
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
6999

7001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7002
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7003
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7004
Major changes:
7005
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7006
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7007
    radically replaced.
7008
 
7009
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7010
    Usage:
7011
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7012
 
7013
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7014
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7015
    this solution:
7016
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7017
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7018
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7019
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7020
 
7021
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7022
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7023
    order to work.
7024
 
7025
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7026
    reduced functionality.
7027
 
7028
 
7029
Minor changes:
7030
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7031
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7032
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7033
 
7034
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7035
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7036
    within the makefiles.
7037
        Options:
7038
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7039
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7040
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7041
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7042
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7043
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7044
        Useage:
7045
 
7046
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7047
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7048
 
7049
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7050
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7051
    is not in the current directory.
7052
 
7053
  * Jats Command: ant'
7054
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7055
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7056
 
7057
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7058
 
7059
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7060
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7061
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7062
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7063
 
7064
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7065
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7066
    Thus
7067
 
7068
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7069
 
7070
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7071
 
7072
 
7073

7074
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7075
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7076
Major changes:
7077
 
7078
Minor changes:
7079
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7080
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7081
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7082
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7083
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7084
 
7085
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7086
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7087
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7088
 
7089
Internal changes:
7090
  * JATS toolsets
7091
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7092
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7093
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7094
 
7095
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7096
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7097
 
7098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7099
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7100
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7101
Major changes:
7102
  * Jats command: etool
7103
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7104
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7105
 
7106
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7107
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7108
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7109
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7110
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7111
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7112
 
7113
Minor changes:
7114
 
7115
 
7116
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7117
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7118
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7119
Major changes:
7120
  * JATS environment variables
7121
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7122
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7123
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7124
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7125
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7126
 
7127
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7128
              Remote repository
7129
 
7130
    Added GBE_DPLY
7131
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7132
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7133
 
7134
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7135
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7136
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7137
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7138
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7139
 
7140
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7141
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7142
 
7143
 
7144
Minor changes:
7145
  * JATS utility: build
7146
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7147
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7148
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7149
 
7150
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7151
    Ensure label is not locked
7152
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7153
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7154
 
7155
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7156
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7157
    to a specific type of build.
7158
 
7159
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7160
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7161
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7162
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7163
 
7164
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7165
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7166
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7167
 
7168
  * JATS utility: release
7169
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7170
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7171
 
7172
  * JATS utility: label
7173
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7174
    when it is being created.
7175
 
7176
Internal Changes
7177
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7178
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7179
 
7180
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7181
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7182
 
7183
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7184
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7185
    different results.
7186
 
7187
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7188
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7189
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7190
 
7191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7192
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7194
Major changes:
7195
 
7196
  * MCR toolset
7197
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7198
 
7199
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7200
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7201
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7202
Major changes:
7203
  * WIN32 utilities
7204
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7205
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7206
 
7207
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7208
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7209
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7210
 
7211
Minor changes:
7212
  * BuildVersion
7213
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7214
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7215
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7216
 
7217
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7218
 
7219
  * Unix Builds
7220
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7221
    library or a shared library.
7222
 
7223
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7224
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7225
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7226
    start with 'lib'.
7227
 
7228
  * BuildPkgArchive
7229
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7230
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7231
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7232
 
7233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7234
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7236
Major changes:
7237
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7238
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7239
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7240
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7241
    being manually maintained.
7242
 
7243
 
7244
Minor changes:
7245
  * MakeAnt directive
7246
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7247
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7248
    supports ANT builds.
7249
 
7250
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7251
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7252
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7253
 
7254
  * Label utility
7255
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7256
    files to be labeled.
7257
 
7258
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7259
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7260
    on Solaris.
7261
 
7262
  * Generated makefiles
7263
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7264
    nothing.
7265
 
7266
  * MOS Toolset
7267
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7268
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7269
    modules.
7270
 
7271
  * Utility: gen_cots
7272
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7273
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7274
 
7275
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7276
 
7277
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7278
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7279
 
7280

  None
7285
 
7286
Minor changes:
7287
  * DEVI addressed
7288
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7289
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7290
 
7291
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7292
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7293
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7294
 
7295
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7296
 
7297
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7298
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7299
 
7300
  * RunTest directive
7301
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7302
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7303
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7304
 
7305
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7306
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7307
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7308
    packaged under JATS
7309
 
7310
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7311
          supported within JATS.
7312
 
7313
  * Jats utility wrapper
7314
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7315
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7316
 
7317
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7318
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7319
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7320
 
7321
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7322
    Eg: jats ant
7323
 
7324
  * Jats utility wrapper
7325
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7326
 
5710 dpurdie 7327
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7328
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7329
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7330
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7331
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7332
 
5710 dpurdie 7333
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7334
    expect a build.pl file.
7335
 
7336
  * Jats utility wrapper
7337
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7338
 
7339
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7340
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7341
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7342
 
7343
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7344
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7345
 
7346
  * Build files
7347
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7348
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7349
 
7350

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

7704
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7705
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7706
Major changes:
7707
 
7708
Minor changes:
7709
  * label utility
7710
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7711
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7712
 
7713
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7714
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7715
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7716
      --ProgLoader=name
7717
 
7718
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7719
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7720
    Options to do this are:
7721
        --TreeDir=name
7722
        --FilterOut=regexp
7723
        --FilterIn=regexp
7724
        --StripDir
7725
 
7726
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7727
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7728
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7729
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7730
 
7731
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7732
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7733
 
7734
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7735
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7736
 
7737
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7738
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7739
 
7740
 
7741
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7742
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7743
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7744
Major changes:
7745
    * Make commands
7746
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7747
 
7748
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7749
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7750
 
7751
    * Label utility
7752
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7753
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7754
 
7755
Minor changes:
7756
    * Toolsets
7757
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7758
      variables and overrides.
7759
 
7760
      The make_init target is always run.
7761
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7762
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7763
 
7764
    * Deployment
7765
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7766
      with deployment operations.
7767
 
7768
    * Release utility
7769
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7770
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7771
      restricted by options within the build.
7772
 
7773
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7774
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7775
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7776
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7777
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7778
 
7779
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7780
      directives.
7781
 
7782
    * MakeProject directive
7783
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7784
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7785
 
7786
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7787
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7788
      is preserved.
7789
 
7790
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7791
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7792
      statements.
7793
 
7794
    * Mugfile generation
7795
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7796
      be placed in the target package.
7797
 
7798
 
7799
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7800
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7802
Major changes:
7803
    * BuildVersion directive
7804
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7805
      number as well as a patch number.
7806
 
7807
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7808
      number.
7809
 
7810
Minor changes:
7811
    * AddFlags directives
7812
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7813
      duplicate flags being added.
7814
 
7815
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7816
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7817
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7818
 
7819
    * Mug File Generation
7820
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7821
 
7822
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7823
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7824
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7825
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7826
     directory.
7827
 
7828
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7829
     reproducible.
7830
 
7831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7832
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7834
Major changes:
7835
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7836
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7837
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7838
      longer a list of directories.
7839
 
7840
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7841
      done within the toolset.
7842
 
7843
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7844
 
7845
    * JATS environment variables
7846
      Redefined variable
7847
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7848
                          Previously was a list that included the
7849
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7850
 
7851
      New variable
7852
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7853
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7854
 
7855
 
7856
Minor changes:
7857
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7858
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7859
      target platforms to be extracted.
7860
 
7861
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7862
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7863
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7864
 
7865
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7866
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7867
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7868
 
7869
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7870
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7871
 
7872
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7873
      Support ANT based XML files
7874
 
7875
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7876
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7877
      structure.
7878
 
7879
    * makefile.pl's
7880
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7881
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7882
 
7883
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7884
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7885
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7886
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7887
 
7888
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7889
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7890
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7891
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7892
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7893
      -- Auto.
7894
 
7895
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7896
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7897
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7898
 
7899
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7900
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7901
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7902
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7903
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7904
 
7905
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7906
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7907
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7908
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7909
      installed on the machine.
7910
 
7911
    * WINCE Targets
7912
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7913
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7914
 
7915
 
7916
 
7917
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7918
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7920
Major changes:
7921
    * WIN32 platforms
7922
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7923
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7924
      and installed packages.
7925
 
7926
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7927
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7928
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7929
 
7930
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7931
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7932
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7933
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7934
      searched when looking for libraries.
7935
 
7936
Minor changes:
7937
    * GenerateFiles directive
7938
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7939
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7940
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7941
                          and drive letter
7942
 
7943
    * Src directive
7944
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7945
      directory of a package.
7946
 
7947
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7948
 
7949
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7950
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7951
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7952
 
7953
    * jats_rewrite utility
7954
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7955
 
7956
 
7957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7958
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7960
Major changes:
7961
    * SunWorks production builds
7962
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7963
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7964
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7965
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7966
      compiler documentation.
7967
 
7968
    * MOS Toolset
7969
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7970
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7971
 
7972
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7973
 
7974
Minor changes:
7975
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7976
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
7977
      This should not affect current users.
7978
 
7979
    * Mugfile generation
7980
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
7981
      specified.
7982
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
7983

7986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7987
Major changes:
7988
    MOS Toolset
7989
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
7990
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
7991
 
7992
Minor changes:
7993
    * Jats wrapper script
7994
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
7995
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
7996
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
7997
 
7998
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
7999
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8000
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8001
      may be suspect.
8002
 
8003
    * GenerateFiles directive
8004
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8005
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8006
 
8007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8008
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8010
Major changes:
8011
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8012
      build.xml files.
8013
 
8014
Minor changes:
8015
    * WIN32 toolset.
8016
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8017
 
8018
    * MakeAnt
8019
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8020
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8021
 
8022
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8023
 
8024
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8025
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8026
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8027
 
8028
    * MakeAnt directive
8029
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8030
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8031
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8032
 
8033
      Recommended usage:
8034
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8035
 
8036
Internal Changes
8037
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8043
Major changes:
8044
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8045
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8046
      files packaged into the release.
8047
 
8048
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8052
 
8053
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8054
      The recommended platform is:
8055
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8056
 
8057
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8058
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8059
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8060
      components.

8066
 
8067
Minor changes:
8068
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8069
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8070
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8071
      by the package to be accessed.
8072
 
8073
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8074
      application or visual studio.
8075
 
8076
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8077
      and the JATS Core path.
8078
 
8079
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8080
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8081
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8082
 
8083
    * MOS Toolset
8084
      Add support for the TPT device
8085
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8086
 
8087
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8088
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8089
 
8090
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8091
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8092
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8093
 
8094
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8095
 
8096
Internal Changes
8097
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained

Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8103
Major changes:
8104
    * JATS wrapper script
8105
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8106
 
8107
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8108
 
8109
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8110
 
8111
Minor changes:
8112
    * Deployment support
8113
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8114
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8115
 
8116
    * 'build'
8117
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8118
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8119
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8120
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8121
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8122
 
8123
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8124
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8125
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8126
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8127
                                      the link phase.
8128
 
8129
    * BuildPkgArchive
8130
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8131
      Previously these were ignored.
8132
      Minor code cleanup
8133
 
8134
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8135
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8136
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8137
 
8138
    * SOLARIS targets
8139
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8140
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8141
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8142
 
8143
    * MugFile generation
8144
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8145
      included in the final package.
8146
 
8147
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8148
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8149
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8150
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8151
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8152
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8153
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8154
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8155
 
8156
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8157
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8158
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8159
            --Option=(some_text)
8160
            --Option=[some_text]
8161
            --Option={some_text}
8162
 
8163
Internal Changes
8164
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8165
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8166
      code.
8167
 
8168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8169
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8171
Major changes:
8172
    * JATS wrapper script
8173
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8174
 
8175
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8176
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8177
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8178
      other components.
8179
 
8180
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8181
 
8182
    * JATS
8183
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8184
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8185
 
8186
    * Build operations
8187
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8188
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8189
      packages.
8190
 
8191
    * Make operations
8192
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8193
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8194
 
8195
Minor changes:
8196
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8197
      deployment builds.
8198
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8199
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8200
 
8201
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8202
 
8203
    * build.pl
8204
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8205
        processed. Allows
8206
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8207
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8208
        production.
8209
 
8210
    * MOS toolset
8211
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8212
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8213
 
8214
    * create_dpkg utility
8215
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8216
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8217
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8218
      progress of the build.
8219
 
8220
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8221
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8222
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8223
      system.
8224
 
8225
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8226
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8228
Major changes:
8229
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8230
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8231
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8232
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8233
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8234
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8235
 
8236
    * WCEX86A500 target
8237
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8238
 
8239
    * MOS Toolsets
8240
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8241
      the compiler.
8242
 
8243
    * RunTest directive
8244
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8245
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8246
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8247
 
8248
Minor changes:
8249
    * JATS BUILD
8250
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8251
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8252
      highlight bad settings.
8253
 
8254
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8255
      access to extensions.
8256
 
8257
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8258
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8259
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8260
Major changes:
8261
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8262
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8263
 
8264
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8265
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8266
      under unix.
8267
 
8268
Minor changes:
8269
    * label utility
8270
      Added options to:
8271
        o Delete a label
8272
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8273
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8274
 
8275
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8276
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8277
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8278
      Package directives.
8279
 
8280
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8281
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8282
      system.
8283
 
8284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8285
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8287
Major changes:
8288
    * MOS Toolset
8289
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8290
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8291
 
8292
    * WIN32 Toolset
8293
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8294
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8295
      list.
8296
 
8297
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8298
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8299
 
8300
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8301
 
8302
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8303
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8304
 
8305
 
8306
Minor changes:
8307
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8308
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8309
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8310
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8311
      corrected.
8312
 
8313
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8314
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8315
 
8316
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8317
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8318
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8319
 
8320
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8321
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8322
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8323
Major changes:
8324
    * WIN32 Toolset
8325
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8326
      use with multithreaded modes.
8327
 
8328
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8329
      --OnlyProd.
8330
 
8331
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8332
      within the makefile.pl.
8333
 
8334
Minor changes:
8335
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8336
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8337
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8338
      platforms.
8339
 
8340
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8341
 
8342
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8343
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8345
Major changes:
8346
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8347
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8348
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8349
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8350
 
8351
    * Preliminary Support
8352
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8353
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8354
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8355
 
8356
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8357
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8358
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8359
 
8360
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8361
      building. The default build will build both.
8362
 
8363
Minor changes:
8364
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8365
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8366
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8367
 
8368
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8369
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8370
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8371
 
8372
 
8373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8374
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8376
Major changes:
8377
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8378
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8379
      or all.
8380
 
8381
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8382
      the library or program.
8383
 
8384
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8385
 
8386
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8387
      library or any debug files.
8388
 
8389
    * GenerateFiles
8390
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8391
 
8392
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8393
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8394
 
8395
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8396
              The filename of the prereq file
8397
 
8398
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8399
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8400
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8401
 
8402
 
8403
Minor changes:
8404
    * create_dpkg utility
8405
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8406
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8407
      the package has been altered.
8408
 
8409
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8410
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8411
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8412
Major changes:
8413
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8414
      This is a WINCE target
8415
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8416
 
8417
    * New toolset
8418
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8419
 
8420
    * Modified toolset
8421
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8422
 
8423
    * Modified toolset
8424
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8425
 
8426
Minor changes:
8427
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8428
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8429
 
8430
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8431
 
8432
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8433
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8434
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8435
 
8436
      The change allows the construct
8437
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8438
      to be replaced by the simpler
8439
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8440
 
8441
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8442
      specified name.    
8443

8462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8463
Major changes:
8464
    * The "package.pl" file.
8465
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8466
      package name being taken from the build name
8467
 
8468
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8469
      package Build Name.
8470
 
8471
Minor changes:
8472
    * create_dpkg utility
8473
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8474
 
8475

Major changes:
8479
 
8480
Minor changes:
8481
    * Dependancy generator
8482
      Correct two common situations
8483
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8484
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8485
           ansi, but is often done.
8486
 
8487
    * GCC toolset
8488
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8489
      being created in the correct place.
8490
 
8491
    * jats "label"
8492
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8493
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8494
 
8495
 
8496

8498
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8499
Major changes:
8500
 
8501
Minor changes:
8502
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8503
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8504
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8505
 
8506
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8507
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8508
 
8509
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8510
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8511
      package was not being transferred.
8512
 
8513
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8514
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8515
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8516
Major changes:
8517
    * Support for solaris_i386
8518
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8519
      binaries for this target.
8520
 
8521
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8522
      with the GCC compiler.
8523
 
8524
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8525
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8526
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8527
 
8528
Minor changes:
8529
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8530
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8531
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8532
 
8533
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8534
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8535
 
8536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8537
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8539
Major changes:
8540
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8541
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8542
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8543
 
8544
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8545
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8546
 
8547
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8548
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8549
      with either " or ' characters.
8550
 
8551
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8552
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8553
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8554
 
8555
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8556
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8557
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8558
 
8559
    * Jats wrapper
8560
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8561
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8562
      further commands.
8563
 
8564
Minor changes:
8565
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8566
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8567
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8568
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8569
 
8570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8571
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8573
Major changes:
8574
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8575
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8576
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8577
 
8578
      These options operation affect all components within the
8579
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8580
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8581
 
8582
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8583
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8584
 
8585
Minor changes:
8586
 
8587
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8588
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8590
Major changes:
8591
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8592
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8593
 
8594
Minor changes:
8595
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8596
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8597
 
8598
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8599
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8600
 
8601
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8602
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8604
Major changes:
8605
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8606
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8607
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8608
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8609
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8610
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8611
      installed.
8612
 
8613
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8614
      libraries that depend on each other.
8615
 
8616
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8617
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8618
 
8619
Minor changes:
8620
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8621
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8622
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8623
 
8624
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8625
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8626
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8627
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8628
 
8629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8630
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8632
Major changes:
8633
 
8634
Minor changes:
8635
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8636
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8637
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8638
      file.
8639
 
8640
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8641
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8642
 
8643
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8644
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8645
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8646
 
8647
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8648
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8649
 
8650
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8651
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8652
 
8653
    * WinCE toolsets
8654
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8655
      compiler specific libraries.
8656
 
8657
    * SOLARIS toolset
8658
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8659
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8660
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8661
 
8662
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8663
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8664
      cleaned up.
8665
 
8666
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8667
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8668
 
8669
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8670
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8671
      with either " or ' characters.
8672
 
8673
 
8674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8675
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8677
Major changes:
8678
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8679
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8680
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8681
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8682
 
8683
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8684
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8685
 
8686
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8687
      user.
8688
 
8689
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8690
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8691
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8692
 
8693
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8694
      for the   -Gf option.
8695
 
8696
Minor changes:
8697
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8698
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8699
 
8700
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8701
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8702
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8703
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8704
 
8705
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8706
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8708
Major changes:
8709
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8710
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8711
 
8712
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8713
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8714
      data addresses for the board.
8715
 
8716
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8717
 
8718
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8719
 
8720
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8721
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8722
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8723
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8724
         PackageFile
8725
 
8726
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8727
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8728
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8729
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8730
 
8731
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8732
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8733
      to be installed and packaged.
8734
 
8735
Minor changes:
8736
 
8737
    * cache_dpkg utility
8738
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8739
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8740
 
8741
    * label utility
8742
      New option -auto to create and label
8743
 
8744
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8745
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8746
 
8747
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8748
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8749
      directory. ie:
8750
 
8751
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8752
 
8753
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8754
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8755
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8756
 
8757
 
8758
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8759
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8760
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8761
Major changes:
8762
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8763
 
8764
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8765
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8766
 
8767
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8768
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8769
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8770
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8771
 
8772
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8773
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8774
      compilation.
8775
 
8776
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8777
 
8778
Minor changes:
8779
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8780
      one is being produced.
8781
 
8782
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8783
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8784
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8785
 
8786
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8787
 
8788
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8789
 
8790
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8791
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8792
 
8793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8794
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8796
Major changes:
8797
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8798
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8799
 
8800
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8801
 
8802
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8803
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8804
      same directory
8805
 
8806
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8807
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8808
      documenattion.
8809
 
8810
Minor changes:
8811
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8812
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8813
 
8814
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8815
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8816
 
8817
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8818
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8819
 
8820
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8821
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8822
 
8823
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8824
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8825
      be exempt from this test.
8826
 
8827
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8828
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8829
 
8830
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8831
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8832
 
8833
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8834
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8835
      does.
8836
 
8837
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8838
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8839
 
8840
 
8841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8842
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8844
Major changes:
8845
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8846
 
8847
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8848
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8849
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8850
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8851
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8852
 
8853
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8854
      operations.
8855
 
8856
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8857
 
8858
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8859
 
8860
Minor changes
8861
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8862
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8863
 
8864
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8865
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8866
      directory is not added to the library path.
8867
 
8868
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8869
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8870
 
8871
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8872
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8873
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8874
 
8875
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8876
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8877
      specific flags.
8878
 
8879
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8880
 
8881
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8882
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8883
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8884
 
8885
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8886
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8887
      JATS.

    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8890
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8891
 
8892
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8893
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8894
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8895
 
8896
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8897
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8898
 
8899
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8900
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8901
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8902
 
8903
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8904
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8905
 
8906
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8907
 
8908
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8909
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8910
 
8911
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8912
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8913
      objects.
8914
 
8915
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8916
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8917
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8918
      build defendants.
