921
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
922
 
923
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
924
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
925
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
926
      build errors.
927
 
928
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
929
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
930
 
931
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
932
      Shorthand for
933
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
934
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
935
 
936
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
937
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
938
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
939
      Examples: 
940
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
941
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
942
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
943
 
944
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
945
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
946
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
947
 
948
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
949
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
950
      build system.
951
 
952
Experimental:
953
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
954
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
955
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
961
 
962
Minor changes:
963
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
964
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
965
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
966
 
967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
968
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
969
------------------------------------------------------------------------
970
 
971
Minor changes:
972
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
973
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
974
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
975
 
976
    * Build Files
977
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
978
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
979
 
980
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
981
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
982
 
983
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
984
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
985
 
986
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
987
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
988
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
989
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
990
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
991
 
992
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
993
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
994
     different architectures.
995
 
996
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
997
     are directed to one or more machines.
998
 
999
     Intended uses:
1000
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1001
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1002
 
1003
       All: Specialized packaging.
1004
 
1005
    * Makefiles
1006
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1007
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1008
      Eg:
1009
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1010
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1011
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1012
      It could also have been written as:
1013
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1014
      but NOT as:
1015
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1016
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1017
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1018
 
1019
    * Utility: sandbox
1020
      Subcommand info 
1021
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1030
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
1031
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1032
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1033
 
1034
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1035
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1036
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1037
 
1038
    * GenerateFiles directive
1039
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
1040

1058
 
1059
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1060
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1061
 
1062
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1063
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1064
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1065
      machine may build the toolset.
1066
 
1067
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1068
      platform.

1086
      It is not used.
1087
 
1088
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
1089
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1090
 
1091
    * Utility: escrow
1092
      Added -skim option
1093
 
1094
    * Utility: sandbox
1095
      Many improvements:

1097
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1098
 
1099
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1100
 
1101
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1102
        if an error is detected.
1103
 
1104
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1105
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1106
 
1107
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1108
        skipped during the build.
1109
 
1110
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1118
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1119
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1120
 
1121
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
1122
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

2065
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2066
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2067
 
2068
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file

      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2070
 
2071
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh

2362
Minor changes:
2363
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2364
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2365
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2366
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2367
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2368
 
2369
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2370
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

2380
        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2381
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2382
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2383
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2384
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2385
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2386
 
2387

2388
      Backward compatibility with badly formed packages.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2397
Major changes:
2398
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2399
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2400
      intended to build deployed software.
2401
 
2402
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2403
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2404
 
2405
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2406
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2407
 
2408
Minor changes:
2409
    * Jats wrapper script
2410
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2411
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2412
      Subversion instance of the command.
2413
 
2414
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2415
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2416
 
2417
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2418
      Added support for BeyondCompare3 under windows.

2421
      Corrected issue that prevented the results being written to the build.pl
2422
      file under windows.
2423
 
2424
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2425
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2426
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2427
 
2428
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2429
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2430
 
2431
    * GCC Toolchain
2432
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2448
Major changes:
2449
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2450
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2451
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2452
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2453
 
2454
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2455
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2465
Minor changes:
2466
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2467
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2468
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2469
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2470
      line.
2471
 
2472
    * Jats Configuration
2473
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2474
 
2475
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2476
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2477
      and Linux.
2478
 
2479
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2480
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
2488
    * Jats Core
2489
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2490
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2491
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2492
 
2493
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2494
      Used only by the build daemons.
2495
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2496
 
2497
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2498
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports

Major changes:
2505
 
2506
Minor changes:
2507
    * svnrelease utility
2508
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2509
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2510
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2511
 
2512
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2513
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2514
      the named tag.
2515
 
2516
    * svnrelease utility
2517
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2518
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2535
    * ALL Toolsets
2536
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2537
 
2538
    * Utility vcsdiff
2539
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2540

2550
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2551
      directory of the tag.
2552
 
2553
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2554
      repository.
2555
 
2556
    * Subversion Support
2557
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2558
      showing the user what to do.
2559
 
2560
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2561
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2562
      we have build support for this target.
2563
 
2564
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2565
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2566
 
2567
Internal:
2568

2585
Major changes:
2586
 
2587
Minor changes:
2588
    * Makefile generation
2589
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2590
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2591
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2592
      of warnings.
2593
 
2594
    * Makefile Generation
2595
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

2429 dpurdie 2603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2604
Major changes:
2605
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2606
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2607
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2608
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2609
 
2610
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2611
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2612
      windows path scheme.
2613
 
2614
Minor changes:
2615
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2616
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2617
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2618
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2619
 
2620
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2621
        jats make clobber
2622
      This operates as before.
2623
 
2624
    * Utility: escrow
2625
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2626
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2627
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2628
 
2629
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2630
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2631
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2632
 
2633
    * Utility: svn : url
2634
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2635
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2636
 
2637
    * Utility: svn : import
2638
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2639
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2640
 
2641
    * Subversion Support
2642
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2643
      showing the user what to do.
2644
 
2645
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2646
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2647
      repositories.

2652
 
2653
Minor changes:
2654
    * Jats build
2655
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2656
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2657
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2658
 
2659
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2660
      command, with a sandbox.

2681
 
2682
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2683
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2684
      Modified two options:
2685
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2686
                        The named branch must not exist
2687
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2688
                        The named branch must exist
2689
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2723
 
2724
Major changes:
2725
    * Jats Version Number
2726
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

2744
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2745
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2746
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2747
 
2748
Minor changes:
2749
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2750
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2751
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2752
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2753
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2754
 
2755
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2756
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2757
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2758
 
2759
    * Linux support utilities
2760
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2761

2770
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2771
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2772
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

2774
 
2775
Minor changes:
2776
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2777
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2778
 
2779
    * Utility: svnrelease
2780
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2781
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2782
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2783
 
2784
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2785
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2786
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2787
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2788
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2789
 
2790
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2791
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2792

2795
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2796
 
2797
      Subcommand: populate
2798
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2799
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2800
      sandbox.
2801
 
2802
    * Subversion Support
2803
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2804
      repository is not supported.
2805
 
2806
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2807
      a progress indication.
2808
 
2809
    * Jats Online Documentation
2810
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2811
      online documentation.

Major changes:
2892
 
2893
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2894
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2895
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2896
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2897
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

2948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2949
Major changes:
2950
 
2951
Minor changes:
2952
    * Command: jats clobber
2953
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2954
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2955
 
2956
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2957
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2958
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2959
 
2960
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2961
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2962
 
377 dpurdie 2963
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2964
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2965
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2966
 
2967
    * jats svnlabel
2968
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2969
 
2970
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2971
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2972
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2973
 
2974
    * Built Daemon support
2975
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
2976
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
2977

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
2980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2981
Major changes:
2982
    * GCC Toolset
2983
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
2984
      New methodology is:
2985
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
2986
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
2987
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
2988
        as the main binary.
2989
 
2990
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
2991
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
2992
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
2993
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
2994
      both worlds.
2995
 
2996
Minor changes:
2997
    * HTML Documentation
2998

Major changes:
3009
    * Jats Sandbox
3010
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3011
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3012
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3013
 
3014
    * RIORDS Platform

3038
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3039
 
3040
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3041
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3042
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3043
      a vob.
3044

3125
 
3126
Minor changes:
3127
    * HTML Help
3128
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3129
 
3130
    * jats build -noforce
3131
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3132
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3133
      be forced.
3134
 
3135
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3136
 
3137
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3138
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3139
 
3140
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3141
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3142
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3143
 
3144
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3145
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3146
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3147
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3148
 
3149
    * Utility: svnrelease
3150
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3151
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3152
 
3153
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3154
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3155
 
3156
    * Utility: svn
3157
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3158
      installed and can be used.
3159
 
3160
    * Toolset: CSharp
3161
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3162
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3163
      character.
3164
 
3165
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3166
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3167
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3168
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3169
      masking an error.
3170
 
3171
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3172
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3173
      enhancement.
3174
 
3175
    * Toolset: dafbr
3176
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3177
 
3178
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3179
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3180
        - Return correct path to package
3181
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3182
 
3183
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3184
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3185
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3186
 
3187
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3188
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3189
      packages.
3190
 
3191
    * make command: show
3192
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3193
      'jats make show' command.
3194
 
3195
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3196
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3197
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3198
 
3199
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3200
      executed on Unix machines.

      Used by some COTS packages.
3217
 
3218
    * Windows utilities used by jats
3219

3220
      libraries as these are not present for all users.
3221
 
3222
    * Jats utility: dstatus
3223

3235
      the server by name, rather than IP address: 'frbesasvn01'
3236
 
3237
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3238
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3239
 
3240
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3241
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3242
      developers.

3264
      in a package archive.
3265
 
3266
      Sub command: create
3267
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package

      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
3269
      package version.
3270
 
3271
      Command specific help
3272
      Each sub command now has its own help.

      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
3419
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
3420
 
3421
    * BuildPlatform
3422
      New option: --NoToolSet
3423
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3424
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3425
 
3426
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3427
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3428
      need toolset specific information.
3429
 
3430
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3431
 
3432
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

3438
 
3439
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3440
      a ClearCase site.

      resulting in multiple builds.
3544
 
3545
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
3546

3551
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
3552
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
3553
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Minor changes:
3561
    * Jats label command
3562
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3563
      Not recommended for general use.
3564
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3565
      directories within the current view.
3566
 
3567
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3568
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3569
      elsewhere.
3570
 
3571
    * Jats save_build
3572
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3573
      the determination of a branch.
3574
 
3575
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3576
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3577
 
3578
    * Jats build
3579
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3580
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3581
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3582
 
3583
    * Borland6 toolset
3584
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3585
      to match the documented install location of:
3586
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3587
 
3588
    * Jats build
3589
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3590
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3591
      This is a very quick operation.
3592
 
3593
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3594
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3595
 
3596
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3597
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3598
      files are only recreated if need be.
3599
 
3600
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3601
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3602
      make the package.
3603
 
3604
    * Jats sandbox
3605
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3606
 
3607
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3608
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3609
 
3610
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3611
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3612
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3613
      is performed.
3614
 
3615
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3653
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3654
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3655
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3656
 
3657
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3658
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3659
 
3660
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3661
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3662
      platform builds.

3682
Major changes:
3683
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3684
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3685
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3686
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3687
 
3688
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3689
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3690
 
3691
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3692
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3693
 
3694
      Examples:
3695
            jats upddep -show
3696
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3697
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3698
 
3699
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3700
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3701
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3702
 
3703
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3704
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3717
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3718
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3719
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3720
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3721
      stream.
3722
 
3723
      Example:
3724
 
3725
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3726

                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3728
                     );
3729
Minor changes:
3730
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3731
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3732
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3733
      directive.
3734
 
3735
    * GCC Toolkit
3736
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3737
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3738
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3739
      the point of termination.
3740
 
3741
    * Jats save_build utility
3742
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3743
      under windows.
3744
 
3745
    * Jats sandbox
3746
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3747
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3748
      in different sandboxes.
3749
 
3750
    * Jats release
3751
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

3756
Major changes:
3757
 
3758
Minor changes:
3759
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3760
      Added -locatedir=name
3761
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3762
      directory.
3763
 
3764
    * jats label utility
3765
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3766
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3767
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3768
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3769
 
3770
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3771
 
3772

315 dpurdie 3774
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3775
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3776
 
3777
Minor changes:
3778
    * WinCe Toolsets
3779
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3780
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3781
        noExceptions            - Disable
3782
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3783
      Example:
3784
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3785
 
3786
    * Solaris targets
3787
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3788
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3789
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3790
      machine type.
3791
 
3792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3793
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3795
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3796
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3797
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3798
      project files.
3799
 
3800
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3801
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3802
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3803
 
3804
Minor changes:
3805
    * Added more internal documentation
3806
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3807
 
3808
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3809
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3810
 
3811
    * Jats save_build utility
3812
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3813
      under windows.
3814
 
3815
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3816
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3817
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3818
      libraries.
3819
 
3820
    * Solaris builds
3821
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3822
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3823
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3824
      of the build failure.
3825
 
3826
 
3827
Internal changes:
3828
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3829
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3830
 
3831
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3832
      PkgArchive topics.

3836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3837
Major changes:
3838
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3839
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3840
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3841
      existing 32-bit builds.
3842
 
3843
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3844
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3845
 
3846
Minor changes:
3847
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3848
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3849
 
3850
    * Package searching
3851
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3852
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3853
 
3854
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3855
 
3856
    * jats help
3857
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3858
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3859
 
3860
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3861
      with one of:
3862
        jats -h
3863
        jats help jats
3864
 
3865
Internal:
3866
    * cmdfile utility
3867
      Added macros:
3868
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3869
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3870
 
3871
      Corrected
3872
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3873
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3874
 
3875
      Extended
3876
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3877
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3878
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3879
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3888
Internal changes
3889
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3890
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3891
      Useful side effects include:
3892
 
3893
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3894
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3895
 
3896
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3897
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3898
 
3899
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3900
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3901
        BuildPkgArchive
3902
 
313 dpurdie 3903
    * Perl Modules
3904
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3905
      release. This will:
3906
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3907
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3908
          reported by ERG.
3909
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
3917
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3918
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3919
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3920
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3921
 
3922
    * Jats label utility
3923
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3924
 
3925
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3926
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3927
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3928
 
3929
    * Jats core
3930
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3931
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3932
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
3941
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3942
      This is now fixed.
3943
 
309 dpurdie 3944
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3945
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3946
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3947
 
3948
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3949
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3957
    * Generating makefiles
3958
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3959
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3960
      an error.
3961
 
3962
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3963
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3964
 
3965
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3966
      Highly specialized directive.

3973
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3974
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
3975
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
3976
 
3977
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
3978
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
3979
 
3980
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
3981
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
3982
      Support includes
3983
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
3984
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
3985
 
3986
Minor changes:
3987
    * Build file processing
3988
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
3989
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
3990
 
3991
    * MOS builds
3992
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
3993
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
3994
 
3995
    * MOS builds
3996
      New 'known' product: PICP
3997
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
3998
 
3999
    * GenerateFiles directive
4000
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4001
        under windows.
4002
 
4003
        .
4004
 
4005
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4006
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4007
 
4008
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4009
      to the output stream.
4010
 
4011
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4012
 
4013
    * Windows Shell
4014
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4015
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4016
 
4017
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4018
 
4019
    * H8S toolset
4020
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4021
 
4022
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4023
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4024
 
4025
Internal changes
4026
    * WinCe builds
4027
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4028
      content of the file.
4029
 
4030
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4031
 
4032
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4033
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4045
Major changes:
4046
 
4047
Minor changes:
4048
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4049
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4050
      Changes are transparent to users.
4051
 
4052
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4053
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4054
      this occurs.
4055
 
4056
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4057
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4058
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4059
      automated build framework.
4060
 
4061
    * jats sandbox command
4062
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4063
      'create' command.
4064
 
4065
    * jats command aliases. Added
4066
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4067
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4068

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4072
Major changes:
4073
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4074
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4075
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4076
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4077
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4078
      will work as expected
4079
 
4080
Minor changes:
4081
    * VS2008 Toolset
4082
      Picking up incorrect config details
4083
      May result in a warning message.
4084
 
4085
    * gen_cots utility
4086
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4087
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4088
 
4089
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4090
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'

4137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4138
Major changes:
4139
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4140
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4141
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4142
 
4143
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4144
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4145
 
4146
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4147
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4148
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4149
           names cannot be changed.
4150
 
4151
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4152
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4153
 
4154
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4155
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4156
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4157
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4158
 
4159
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4160
      file.
4161
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4162
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4163
      MyPackage.dpk.
4164
 
4165
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4166
      file.
4167
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4168
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4169
      MyDll.dpr.
4170
 
4171
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4172
      file.
4173
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4174
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4175
      MyProg.dpr.
4176
 
4177
Minor changes:
4178
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4179
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4180
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4181
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4182
 
4183
    * BuildVersion directive
4184
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4185
      in a Delphi Unit.
4186
 
4187
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4188
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4189
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4190
      'know' the location of the files.
4191
 
4192
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4193
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4194
 
4195
Internal Changes:
4196
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4197
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4198
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4199
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4200
 
4201
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4202
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4203
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4204

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4208
Major changes:
4209
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4210
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4211
      information for purely C++ builds.
4212
 
289 dpurdie 4213
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4214
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4215
 
289 dpurdie 4216
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4217
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4218
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4219
 
4220
Minor changes:
4221
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4222
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4223
 
4224
    * updatenodespec utility
4225
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4226
      Manager database.

4250
 
4251
Minor changes:
4252
    * MergeLibrary directive
4253

4261
 
4262
Minor changes:
4263
    * New command: jats make show
4264
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4265
      used in the build.
4266
 
4267
    * Escrow command
4268
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4269
 
4270
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4271
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4272
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4273
 
4274
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4275
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4276
 
4277

277 dpurdie 4279
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4280
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4281
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4282
 
279 dpurdie 4283
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4284
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4285
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4286
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4287
 
4288
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4289
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4290
 
4291
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4292
 
4293
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4294
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4295
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4296
 
4297
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4298
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4299
        processed.
4300
 
4301
      Removed the '-delete' option
4302
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4303
 
277 dpurdie 4304
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4305
    * Sandbox command
4306
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4307
 
4308
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4309
      target from consideration in the build set.
4310
 
4311
    * MCR Toolset
4312
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4313
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4314
 
4315
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4316
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4317
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4318
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4319
 
4320
    * Jats run_test command
4321
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4322
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4323
 
4324
    * descpkg file
4325
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4326
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4327
 
4328
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4329
     Now contains build trace information
4330
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4331
 
4332
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4333
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4334
     it contains 'jar' files.
4335
 
4336
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4337
 
4338
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4339
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4340
 
4341
   * BuildVersion directive
4342
     Form:
4343
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4344
     now works as expected.
4345
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4346
 
4347
Internal Changes:
4348
 
4349
    * Error reporting mechanism
4350
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4351
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4352
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4362
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4363
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4364
    then starts.
4365
 
4366
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4367
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4368
 
4369
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4370
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4371
    non-platform option.
4372
 
279 dpurdie 4373
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4387
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4388
 
4389
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4390
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4391
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4392
 
4393
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4394
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4395
 
4396
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars

4400
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4401
 
4402

      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4404
      to the invoked application.
4405
 
4406
Internal Changes:
4407
    * JatsCopy Package

4512
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4513
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4514
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation
4515
    of the ClearCase related metrics.

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
4528
 
4529
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
4530
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4531
 
4532
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
4533

        define_source_file              (Default)
4536
 
4537
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4538
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4539
 
4540
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4541

4548
            --InstallProg=list
4549
 
4550
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4551
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4552
      GenerateCab.
4553
 
4554
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

4568
      directive to created the resource file.
4569
 
4570
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in
4571
      a standalone manner by gen_winrc.pl.

4631
 
4632
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
4633
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4634
      programs.
4635
 
4636
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
4637
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

      After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
4650
      Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
4651
      been increased.
4652

4663
 
4664
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
4665
 
4666
      Suggested new usage:
4667
        jats etool jats_save_build
4668
                        -pname=xxxx

4683
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
4684
 
4685
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4686
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4687
      time.
4688
 
4689
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4690
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4703
 
4704
Internal Changes:
4705
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4706
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4707
      Previously was being done at two places
4708
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4709
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4710
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4711
 
4712
    * JATS make: Command line
4713
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4714

4722
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4723
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4724
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4725

4748
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4749
 
4750
    * FileUtils package.
4751
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

4771
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4772
 
4773
Minor changes:
4774
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4775
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4785
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4786
 
4787
      New platforms:
4788
        CSHARP2005
4789
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4790
         Support extends to allow:
4791
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4792
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4793
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4794
 
4795
        VS2005
4796
         Support extends to allow:
4797
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4798
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4799
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4800
 
4801
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4802
      through a version selector:
4803
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4804
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4805
 
4806
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4807
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4808
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4809
 
4810
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4811
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4812
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4813
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4814
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4815
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4816
          under VS2005.
4817
 
4818
Minor changes:
4819
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4820
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4821
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4822
 
4823
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4824
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4825
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4826
 
4827
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4828
 
4829
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4830
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4831
 
4832
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4833
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4834
      a minimal value of perl.
4835
 
4836
      Removed excessive require statements.
4837
 
4838
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4839
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4840
      Include JATS specific files for
4841
        1) Windows
4842
        2) Linux
4843
 
4844
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4845
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4846
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4847
      machines.
4848
 
4849
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4850
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4851
 
4852
    * JATS Environment
4853
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4854
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4855
 
4856
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4857
      wrapper scripts.
4858
 
4859
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4860
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4861
      Spell check help and code.

      Correct the operation of the assembler interface to 'gas' such that
4885
      options are passed correctly.
4886
 
4887
    * Jats utility: CCdiff [DEVI-048127] [DEVI-048439]
4888
      Sped up the label-label comparison.
4889
      Restored speed to that of observed before the label-view comparison
4890
      was added.
4891
 
4892
      Restored ability to perform a one-sided comparison. This is used when
4893
      reviewing a new package.
4894
 
4895
    * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4896
      Better handling of the generated files such that they are
4897
      automatically included in the source file list.
4898

4907
Minor changes:
4908
    * PackageFile directive [DEVI-048037][DEVI-047541]
4909
      Now supports the packaging of files with ( or ) in the name

4912
Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4914
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4915
  * New toolset and platform
4916
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4917
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4918
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4919
    this platform.
4920
 
4921
Minor changes:
4922
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4923
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4924
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4925
    work.
4926
 
4927
  * Jats utility: release
4928
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4929
    published to dpkg_archive.
4930
 
249 dpurdie 4931
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4932
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4933
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4934
    supported for ANT builds.
4935
 
4936
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4937
        releasemanager.releasename
4938
        releasemanager.projectname
4939
 
4940
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4941
    tagged data item of the form
4942
 
4943
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4944
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4945
 
4946
  * Mug File Generation
4947
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4948
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4949
 
4950
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4951
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4952
    required.
4953
 
4954
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4955
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4956
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4957
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4958
    the files in order to use them.
4959
 
4960
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4961
    locate the file.
4962
 
4963
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4964
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4965
 
4966
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4967
        * CSharp
4968
        * Properties
4969
        * WinRC
4970
 
4971
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4972
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4973
    The case of the value is now preserved.
4974
    Value is correctly assigned.
4975

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
4978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4979
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 4980
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
4981
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
4982
 
4983
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
4984
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
4985
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
4986
 
4987
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
4988
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
4989
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
4990
 
4991
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
4992
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
4993
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
4994
 
4995
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
4996
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
4997
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
4998
    correct.
4999
 
5000
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5001
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5002
 
5003
Minor changes:
5004
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5005
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5006
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5007
 
5008
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5009
    This will simplify new user setup.
5010
 
5011
  * All Unix Toolsets
5012
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5013
    on unix systems
5014
 
5015
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5016
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5017
    on some Solaris Machines.
5018
 
5019
  * JATS -version=<version>
5020
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5021
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
5022

    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
5065
 
5066
  * JATS builds
5067
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

5069
    mode.
5070
 
5071
  * JATS makefiles
5072
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5073
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5074
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5075
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5076
                            SetList directive.
5077
 
5078

        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
5086
 
5087
  * JATS buildfile processing
5088
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
5089
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
5090
    of JATS.
5091
 
5092

      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
5123
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
5124
 
5125
    * MOS Toolset
5126
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
5127
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
5128
 
5129
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but

5177
      that can handle spaces
5178
 
5179
    * MOS Compiler
5180
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
5181
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
5182
 
5183
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5184
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5223
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5224
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5225
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5226
 
5227
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5228
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5229
 
5230
    * Jats wrapper
5231
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5232
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5237
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5238
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5239
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5240
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5241
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5242
 
5243
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5244
 
5245
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5246
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5247
 
5248
    * Running Jats
5249
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5250
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5251
      This may affect some windows developers.
5252
 
5253
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5254
      Future versions will generate an error.
5255
 
5256
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5257
 
5258
Minor changes:
5259
    * Perl Version Check
5260
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5261
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5262
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5263
 
5264
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5265
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5266
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5267
      build.
5268
 
5269
    * Jats Internals
5270
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5271
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5272
 
5273
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5274
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5275
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5276
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5277
      process.
5278
 
5279
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5280
      Only works under Windows.
5281
 
5282
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5283
 
5284
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5285
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5286
 
5287
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5288
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5289
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5290
 
5291
    * Jats eprog
5292
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5293
      directory.
5294
 
5295
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5296
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5297
      build metrics.

5301
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5302
Major changes:
5303
 
5304
Minor changes:
5305
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5306
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5307
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5308
      automated build system. New options are:
5309
        -pname=Package_Name
5310
        -pversion=Package_Version
5311
 
5312
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5313
      transferring the package. New options are:
5314
        -test
5315
 
5316
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5317
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5318
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5319
 
5320
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5321
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5322
 
5323
    * Solaris Toolset
5324
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5325
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5326
      programs are still supported.

5331
Major changes:
5332
 
5333
Minor changes:
5334
    * WINCE toolsets
5335
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5336
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5337
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5338
      when header files cannot be found.
5339
 
5340
    * GenerateFiles directive
5341
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5342
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5343
      that are difficult to solve.
5344
 
5345
    * MakePerlModule directive
5346
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5347
      to the the module builder.
5348
 
5349
    * Jats Tool: label
5350
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5351
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5352
      -dirs=xxx options.
5353
 
5354
    * Jats Tool: release
5355
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5356
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5357
 
5358
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5359
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5360
 
5361
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5362
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5363
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5364
 
5365
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
5372
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5373
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5374
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5375
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5376
 
5377
Minor changes:
5378
    * label utility
5379
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5380
 
5381
    * make package and install operations
5382
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5383
      transfer.
5384
 
5385
    * make clean up
5386
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5387
 
5388
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5389
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5390
      minor file transformations such as:
5391
        Copy, with optional rename
5392
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5393
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5394
 
5395
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5396
 
5397
    * jats release utility
5398
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5399
      in place.
5400
 
5401
    * escrow utility
5402
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5403
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
5411
    * Makefile generation
5412
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5413
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5414
      generate phase early.
5415
 
5416

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5419
Major changes:
5420
 
5421
Minor changes:
5422
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5423
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5424
 
5425
    * Makefile generation
5426
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5427
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5428
 
5429
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5430
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5431
 
5432
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5433
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5434
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5435
 
5436
    * jats_rewrite utility
5437
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5438
 
5439
    * jats escrow utility
5440
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5441
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5442
 
5443
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5444
      inconsistent packages.
5445
 
5446
    * jats make help
5447
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5448
      available within the current build.
5449
 
5450
    * jats makefiles
5451
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5452
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5453
 
5454
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5455
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5456
 
5457
    * gcc toolset
5458
      SharedLibries.
5459
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5460
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5461
 
5462
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5463
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5464
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5465
 
5466
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5467
        New options:
5468
            --MultiScan
5469
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5470
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5471
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5477
Major changes:
5478
 
5479
Minor changes:
5480
    PackageLib directive
5481
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5482
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5483
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5484
 
5485
    MakefileGenerate directive
5486
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5487
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5488
 
5489
    Multiple Parent detection
5490
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5491
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5492
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5493
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5494
 
5495
    Solaris Toolset
5496
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5497
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5498
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5499
    link.
5500
 
5501
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5502
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5503
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5504
 
5505
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5506
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5507
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5508
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5513
Major changes:
5514
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5515
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5516
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5517
 
5518
    Summary of changes:
5519
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5520
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5521
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5522
          flexibility.
5523
 
5524
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5525
 
5526
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5527
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5528
          interface directory and associated build information.
5529
 
5530
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5531
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5532
          than one second.
5533
 
5534
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5535
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5536
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5537
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5538
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5539
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5540
 
5541
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5542
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5543
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5544
 
5545
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5546
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5547
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5548
          building them.
5549
 
5550
        - Detection of build file changes
5551
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5552
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5553
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5554
 
5555
        - Quieter make output
5556
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5557
 
5558
 
5559
Minor changes:
5560
    MakeAnt Directive
5561
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5562
 
5563
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5564
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5565
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5566
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5567
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5568
 
5569
    CSHARP toolset
5570
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5571

Minor changes:
5578
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5579
    are generated.
5580
 
5581
    MakeAnt
5582
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5583
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5584
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5585
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5586
 
5587
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
5597
    MakeAnt directive extended
5598
    New option: --PackageBase
5599
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5600
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5601
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5602
 
5603
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5604
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5605
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5606
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5626
 
5627
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5628
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5629
 
5630
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5631
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5632
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5633
 
5634
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5635
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5636
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5637
    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
5666
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5667
 
5668
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5669
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5670
      last.

5697
Major changes:
5698
 
5699
Minor changes:
5700
    * Solaris Toolset
5701
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5702
      dependent packages.
5703
 
5704
    * RunTest operation
5705
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5706
 
5707
    * Csharp toolkit
5708

5712
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5713
Major changes:
5714
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5715
 
5716
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5717
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5718
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5719
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5720
      path.
5721
 
5722
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5723
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5724
      reproducible.
5725
 
5726
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5727
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5728
 
5729
      There are several aspects to the change
5730
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5731
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5732
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5733
 
5734
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5735
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5736
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5737
          controlled separately.
5738
 
5739
Minor changes:
5740
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5741
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5742
        Remove duplicates
5743
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5744

5748
Major changes:
5749
 
5750
Minor changes:
5751
    * Makefile sanity test
5752
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5753
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5754
 
5755
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5756
      x86 machine.
5757
 
5758
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5759
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5760
 
5761
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5762
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5764
Major changes:
5765
    * RunTest directive
5766
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5767
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5768
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5769
 
5770
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5771
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5772
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5773
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5774
 
5775
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5776
        builder within the current toolset.
5777
 
5778
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5779
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5780
 
5781
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5782
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5783
      containing the RunTest directive.
5784
 
5785
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5786
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5787
 
5788
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5789
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5790
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5791
 
5792
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5793
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5794
                            P or D suffix.
5795
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5796
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5797
 
5798
Minor changes:
5799
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5800
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5801
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5802
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5803
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5804
 
5805
    * Save Build Utility
5806
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5807
      used in a ripple build.
5808
 
5809
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5810
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5811
 
5812
    * Release Utility
5813
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5814
      when an error is encountered.
5815
 
5816
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5817
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5818
 
5819
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5820
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5821
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5822
 
5823
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5824
      before the makefiles are created.
5825
 
5826
    * TestProg directive
5827
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5828
 
5829
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5830
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5831

5835
Major changes:
5836
    * New build target
5837
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5838
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5839
 
5840
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5841
            DEVLINUX
5842
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5843
 
5844
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5845
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5846
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5847
 
5848
Minor changes:
5849
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5850
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5851
 
5852
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5853
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5854
 
5855
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5856
      and .cs files.
5857
 
5858
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5859
      thing.
5860
 
5861
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5862
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5863
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5864
      were it places temp files.
5865
 
5866
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5867
      interaction with other builds.
5868
 
5869
    * Release utility command
5870
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5871
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5872
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5883
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
5884
    libraries
5885
 
5886
Minor changes:
5887
  * Unit Tests
5888
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
5889
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
5890
 
5891
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
5925
 
5926
  * Removed the following targets
5927
        TP5600
5928
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5929
        TP5600_EMU

        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
5931
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
5932
 
5933
  * Deployment
5934
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5935
 
5936
  * build.pl
5937
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5938
 
5939
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5940
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5941
 
5942
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5943
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5944
    build.
5945
 
5946
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5947
 
5948
  * Tool: escrow
5949
     New features
5950
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5951
     are not in the SBOM.
5952
 
5953
     Prune "patch" package versions.
5954

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
5960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5961
Major changes:
5962
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5963
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5964
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5965
 
5966
  * GenerateFiles
5967
    Added the options:
5968
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
5969
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
5970
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
5971
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
5972
 
5973
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
5974
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
5975
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
5976
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
5977
                                  required.
5978
 
5979
 
5980
Minor changes:
5981
  * GenerateFile directive
5982
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
5983
 
5984
  * GCC Toolset
5985
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
5986
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
5987
    be rebuilt.
5988
 
5989
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
5990
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
5991
 
5992
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5993
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
5994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5995
Major changes:
5996
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
5997
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
5998
    environment variables.
5999
 
6000
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6001
            moved.
6002
 
6003
    This will affect users that:
6004
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6005
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6006
 
6007
        2) Use the ABT system
6008
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6009
           the required configuration
6010
 
6011
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6012
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6013
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
6014
    Windows
6015
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 6016
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
6017
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6018
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 6019
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 6020
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
6021
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6022
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6023
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
6024
 
6025
 
6026
  * New build platforms
6027
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6028
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6029
 
6030
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6031
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6032
 
6033
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6034
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6035
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6036
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6037
 
6038
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6039
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6040
    release.
6041
 
6042
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6043
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6044
 
6045
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6046
    need to be converted.
6047
 
6048
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6049
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6050
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6051
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6052
    used for different targets platforms.
6053
 
6054
  * Sandbox support
6055
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6056
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6057
 
6058
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6059
 
6060
Minor changes:
6061
 
6062
 
6063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6064
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6065
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6066
Major changes:
6067
  * MakeAnt directive
6068
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6069
 
6070
    New options
6071
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6072
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6073
 
6074
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6075
    run_unit_tests phase.
6076
 
6077
  * Sandbox support
6078
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6079
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6080
 
6081
Minor changes:
6082
  * jats build
6083
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6084
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6085
 
6086
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6087
 
6088
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6089
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6090
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6091
 
6092
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6093
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6094
 
6095
  * JATS.BAT
6096
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6097
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6098
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6099
 
6100
  * jats label
6101
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6102
 
6103
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6104
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6105
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6106
Major changes:
6107
  * New build platform:
6108
        LMOS_TP5600
6109
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6110
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6111
 
6112
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6113
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6114
    describe the group of platforms.
6115
 
6116
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6117
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6118
    build these targets.
6119
 
6120
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6121
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6122
 
6123
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6124
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6125
 
6126
  * New build platform: WINCE
6127
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6128
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6129
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6130
 
6131
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6132
            WCEIT3000
6133
            WCEPA961
6134
            WCEPA962
6135
            WCEPCM7220
6136
            WCEPSION_420
6137
            WCEPSPC_arm
6138
            WCEPSPC_emu
6139
            WCEX86A420
6140
            WCEX86A500
6141
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6142
 
6143
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6144
 
6145
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6146
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6147
    that contain packaging directives.
6148
 
6149
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6150
    very unusual configurations.
6151
 
6152
Minor changes:
6153
  * Directive: PackageFile
6154
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6155
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6156
    an '='.
6157
 
6158
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6159
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6160
 
6161
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6162
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6163
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6164
 
6165
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6166
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6167
 
6168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6169
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6171
Major changes:
6172
 
6173
  * JATS release command
6174
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6175
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6176
 
6177
    Rules are:
6178
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6179
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6180
                            File will be placed on a branch
6181
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6182
                            New directory will branch
6183
 
6184
Minor changes:
6185
  * JATS release command
6186
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6187
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6188
 
6189
  * JATS label command
6190
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6191
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6192
 
6193
  * JATS make
6194
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6195
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6196
    was re-packaged.
6197
 
6198
  * JATS escrow
6199
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6200
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6201
 
6202
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6203
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6204
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6205
 
6206
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6207
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6208
    interface directory.
6209
 
6210
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6211
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6212
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6213
    directory as seen by the package.
6214
 
6215
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6216
 
6217
  * JAVA 6
6218
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6219
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6220
 
6221
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6222
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6223
 
6224
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6225
 
6226
  * Jats command: vars
6227
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6228
    These indicate potential problems.
6229
 
6230
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6231
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6232
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6233
Major changes:
6234
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6235
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6236
    libarry is also created.
6237
 
6238
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6239
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6240
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6241
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6242
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6243
    information contained within the file.
6244
 
6245
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6246
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6247
 
6248
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6249
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6250
 
6251
  * Building Perl Modules
6252
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6253
    documentation on the build machine.
6254
 
6255
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6256
 
6257
Minor changes:
6258
  * jats create_dpkg
6259
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6260
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6261
 
6262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6263
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6265
Major changes:
6266
  * JATS JAVA build target
6267
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6268
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6269
 
6270
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6271
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6272
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6273
    is then picked up as the default version.
6274
 
6275
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6276
    build.pl file.
6277
 
6278
Minor changes:
6279
  * jats release
6280
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6281
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6282
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6283
 
6284
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6285
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6286
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6287
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6288
    the name of the view.
6289
 
6290
  * GenerateFiles directive
6291
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6292
 
6293
  * MOS Toolset
6294
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6295
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6296
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6297
 
6298
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6299
 
6300
 
6301
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6302
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6304
Major changes:
6305
 
6306
Minor changes:
6307
  * JATS environment
6308
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6309
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6310
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6311
 
6312
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6313
 
6314
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6315
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6316
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6317
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6318
    to be packaged.
6319
 
6320
  * Generated makefiles
6321
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6322
 
6323
  * Generating MOS THX files
6324
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6325
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6326
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6327
 
6328
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6329
 
6330
  * JATS release
6331
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6332
 
6333
  * JATS extract
6334
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6335
 
6336
  * JATS Toolset
6337
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6338
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6339
 
6340
 
6341
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6342
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6344
Major changes:
6345
 
6346
Minor changes:
6347
  * jats label
6348
    Added a -vob=name option
6349
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6350
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6351
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6352
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6353
 
6354
    Added a -user=name option
6355
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6356
    label to the named user.
6357
 
6358
  * jats release
6359
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6360
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6361
 
6362
  * JATS build.pl
6363
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6364
    ie:
6365
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6366
 
6367
 
6368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6369
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6371
Major changes:
6372
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6373
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6374
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6375
    the makefile internals. ie:
6376
        --Var(BuildName)
6377
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6378
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6379
 
6380
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6381
 
6382
  * GenerateFiles
6383
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6384
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6385
 
6386
  * BuildPlatforms
6387
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6388
 
6389
Minor changes:
6390
  * GCC Toolset
6391
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6392
 
6393
Internal changes:
6394
  * GenerateFiles
6395
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6396
 
6397
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6398
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6399
 
6400
 
6401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6402
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6403
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6404
Major changes:
6405
  * Caching JATS
6406
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6407
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6408
 
6409
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6410
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6411
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6412
 
6413
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6414
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6415
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6416
 
6417
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6418
 
6419
Minor changes:
6420
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6421
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6422
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6423
 
6424
  * jats build
6425
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6426
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6427
    processed by the build.
6428
 
6429
  * jats build
6430
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6431
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6432
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6433
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6434
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6435
 
6436
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6437
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6438
    Path is not specified.
6439
 
6440
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6441
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6442
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6443
        --Dir=$Pinc
6444
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6445
 
6446
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6447
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6448
    Windows platform.
6449
 
6450
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6451
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6452
            by 'purecov.
6453
 
6454
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6455
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6456
 
6457
        - OPTIONS=purify
6458
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6459
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6460
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6466
Major changes:
6467
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6468
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6469
    Example:
6470
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6471
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6472
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6473
 
6474
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6475
    been determined.
6476
 
6477
Minor changes:
6478
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6479
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6480
    located at build-time.
6481
 
6482
  * Unix based systems
6483
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6484
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6485
 
6486
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6487
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6488
    driver being built.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6519
 
6520
    GenerateFiles.
6521
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6522
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6523
                      be run on every invocation.
6524
 
6525
 
6526

  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6535
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6536
 
6537
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6538
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6539
 
6540

6549
  * SunWorks Toolset
6550
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6551
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6552
    It is based on machine type.
6553
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6554
 
6555
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6556
 
6557
Minor changes:
6558

6584
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6585
 
6586
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6587
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6588
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6589
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6590
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6591
 
6592
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6593
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6594
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6595
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6596
 
6597
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6598
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.
6599

6610
 
6611
 
6612
Minor changes:
6613
  * JATS wrapper script
6614
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6615
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6616
    to setup links to system programs.
6617

    Added CompileOptions
6639
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6640
        no_misalign         - Default
6641
 
6642
        multithread         - Default
6643
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6644
 
6645
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6646
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6647
 
6648

        debug_debuginfo
6657
 
6658
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6659
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6660
    Theses are:
6661
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6662
        SOLARIS_AMD
6663
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6664
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6665
 
6666
Minor changes:
6667
  * AT3232 toolset
6668
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6677
Major changes:
6678
 
6679
Minor changes:
6680
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6681
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6682
    messages
6683
 
6684
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6685
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6686
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6687
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6688

6692
Major changes:
6693
 
6694
Minor changes:
6695
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6696
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6697
    library without creating the body of the library:
6698
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6699
 
6700
 
6701
  * MOS toolsets
6702
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6703
    library without creating the body of the library:
6704
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6705
 
6706
  * JATS BIN directories
6707
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6708
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6709
    using autoconf.
6710
 
6711
  * Generate directive
6712
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6713
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6714
 
6715
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6716
 
6717

Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
6720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6721
Major changes:
6722
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
6723
    Initial release.
6724
 
6725

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6729
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
6730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6731
Major changes:
6732
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6733
    Initial release.
6734
 
6735
  * Packaging directives
6736
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6737
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6738
 
6739
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6740
        SOLARIS
6741
        WIN32
6742
 
6743
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6744
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6745
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6746
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6747
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6748
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6749
 
6750
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6751
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6752
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6753
 
6754
 
6755
Minor changes:
6756
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6757
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6758
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6759
 
6760
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6761
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6762
    location
6763
 
6764
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6765
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6766
 
6767
  * Utility genrc
6768
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6769
 
6770
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6771
    Added option: -new
6772
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6773
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6774
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6775
 
6776
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6777
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6778
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6779
 
6780
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6781
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6782
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6783
 
6784
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6785
   features - in a uniform manner.
6786
 
6787
 
6788
Internal Changes:
6789
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6790
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6791
 
6792
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6793
        1) Platform information available at build time
6794
        2) Dynamic platform names
6795
 
6796
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6797
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6798
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6799
 
6800
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6801
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6802
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6803
 
6804
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6805
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6806
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6807
    needed.
6808
 
6809
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6810
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6811
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6812
    files from all of these.
6813

6815
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6817
Major changes:
6818
 
6819
Minor changes:
6820
  * WinCE toolset
6821
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6822
 
6823
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6824
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6826
Major changes:
6827
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6828
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6829
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6830
 
6831
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6832
 
6833
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6834
    the operations.
6835
 
6836
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6837
 
6838
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6839
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6840
 
6841
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6842
 
6843
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6844
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6845
 
6846
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6847
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6848
    Extended the built-in help
6849
    Added useful error messages
6850
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6851
 
6852
  * WinCE toolset
6853
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6854
 
6855
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6856
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6857
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6858
 
6859
Minor changes:
6860
  * JATS wrapper script
6861
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6862
    the command line.
6863
 
6864
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6865
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6866
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6867
 
6868
Internal Changes:
6869
  * Common Error Reporting
6870
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6871
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6872
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6873

6876
    displayed.
6877
 
6878
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6879

6901
Major changes:
6902
 
6903
Minor changes:
6904
  * BR Compiler toolset
6905
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6906
    use.
6907
 
6908
 
6909
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6910
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6911
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6912
Major changes:
6913
 
6914
Minor changes:
6915
  * Mictotec toolset
6916
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6917
    builds.
6918
 
6919
  * JATS Core
6920
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6921
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6922
    behaviour.
6923
 
6924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6925
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6926
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6927
Major changes:
6928
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6929
    Deployment package will be affected.
6930
 
6931
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6932
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6933
 
6934
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6935
 
6936
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6937
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6938
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6939
    packages.
6940
 
6941
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6942
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6943
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6944
 
6945
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6946
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6947
 
6948
Minor changes:
6949
  * SubDir directive
6950
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6951
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6952
 
6953
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6954
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6955
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6956
    of the file usage.
6957
 
6958
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6959
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6960
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6961
 
6962
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6963
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6964
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6965
 
6966
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
6967
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
6968
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
6969
    will execute a JATS extended command.
6970
 
6971
 
6972
Internal Changes:
6973
  * Code refactor
6974
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
6975
 
6976
  * Deployment utilities
6977
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
6978
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
6979
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
6980
    the module can locate the file.
6981
 
6982
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
6983
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
6984
 
6985
  * JATS core
6986
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
6987
 
6988
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
6989
 
6990
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
6991
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
6992
    through the use of environment variables.
6993
 
6994
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
6995
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
6996
 
6997
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6998
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
6999
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7000
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7001
 
7002
  * Make environment
7003
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7004
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7005
 
7006
 
7007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7008
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7010
Major changes:
7011
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7012
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7013
 
7014
 
7015
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7016
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7017
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7018
 
7019
Not Released.
7020
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7021
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7022
 
7023
 
7024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7025
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7026
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7027
Major changes:
7028
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7029
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7030
    radically replaced.
7031
 
7032
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7033
    Usage:
7034
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7035
 
7036
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7037
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7038
    this solution:
7039
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7040
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7041
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7042
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7043
 
7044
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7045
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7046
    order to work.
7047
 
7048
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7049
    reduced functionality.
7050
 
7051
 
7052
Minor changes:
7053
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7054
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7055
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7056
 
7057
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7058
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7059
    within the makefiles.
7060
        Options:
7061
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7062
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7063
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7064
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7065
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7066
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7067
        Useage:
7068
 
7069
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7070
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7071
 
7072
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7073
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7074
    is not in the current directory.
7075
 
7076
  * Jats Command: ant'
7077
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7078
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7079
 
7080
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7081
 
7082
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7083
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7084
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7085
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7086
 
7087
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7088
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7089
    Thus
7090
 
7091
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7092
 
7093
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7094
 
7095
 
7096
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7097
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7098
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7099
Major changes:
7100
 
7101
Minor changes:
7102
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7103
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7104
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7105
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7106
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7107
 
7108
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7109
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7110
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7111
 
7112
Internal changes:
7113
  * JATS toolsets
7114
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7115
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7116
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7117
 
7118
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7119
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7120
 
7121
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7122
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7124
Major changes:
7125
  * Jats command: etool
7126
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7127
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7128
 
7129
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7130
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7131
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7132
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7133
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7134
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7135
 
7136
Minor changes:
7137
 
7138
 
7139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7140
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7141
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7142
Major changes:
7143
  * JATS environment variables
7144
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7145
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7146
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7147
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7148
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7149
 
7150
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7151
              Remote repository
7152
 
7153
    Added GBE_DPLY
7154
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7155
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7156
 
7157
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7158
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7159
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7160
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7161
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7162
 
7163
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7164
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7165
 
7166
 
7167
Minor changes:
7168
  * JATS utility: build
7169
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7170
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7171
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7172
 
7173
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7174
    Ensure label is not locked
7175
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7176
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7177
 
7178
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7179
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7180
    to a specific type of build.
7181
 
7182
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7183
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7184
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7185
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7186
 
7187
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7188
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7189
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7190
 
7191
  * JATS utility: release
7192
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7193
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7194
 
7195
  * JATS utility: label
7196
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7197
    when it is being created.
7198
 
7199
Internal Changes
7200
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7201
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7202
 
7203
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7204
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7205
 
7206
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7207
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7208
    different results.
7209
 
7210
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7211
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7212
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7213
 
7214
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7215
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7216
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7217
Major changes:
7218
 
7219
  * MCR toolset
7220
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7221
 
7222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7223
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7225
Major changes:
7226
  * WIN32 utilities
7227
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7228
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7229
 
7230
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7231
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7232
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7233
 
7234
Minor changes:
7235
  * BuildVersion
7236
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7237
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7238
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7239
 
7240
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7241
 
7242
  * Unix Builds
7243
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7244
    library or a shared library.
7245
 
7246
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7247
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7248
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7249
    start with 'lib'.
7250
 
7251
  * BuildPkgArchive
7252
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7253
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7254
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7255
 
7256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7257
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7259
Major changes:
7260
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7261
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7262
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7263
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7264
    being manually maintained.
7265
 
7266
 
7267
Minor changes:
7268
  * MakeAnt directive
7269
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7270
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7271
    supports ANT builds.
7272
 
7273
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7274
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7275
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7276
 
7277
  * Label utility
7278
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7279
    files to be labeled.
7280
 
7281
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7282
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7283
    on Solaris.
7284
 
7285
  * Generated makefiles
7286
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7287
    nothing.
7288
 
7289
  * MOS Toolset
7290
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7291
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7292
    modules.
7293
 
7294
  * Utility: gen_cots
7295
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7296
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7297
 
7298
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7299
 
7300
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7301
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.

7304
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7306
Major changes:
7307
  None
7308
 
7309
Minor changes:
7310
  * DEVI addressed
7311
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7312
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7313
 
7314
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7315
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7316
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7317
 
7318
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7319
 
7320
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7321
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7322
 
7323
  * RunTest directive
7324
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7325
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7326
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7327
 
7328
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7329
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7330
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7331
    packaged under JATS
7332
 
7333
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7334
          supported within JATS.
7335
 
7336
  * Jats utility wrapper
7337
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7338
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7339
 
7340
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7341
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7342
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7343
 
7344
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7345
    Eg: jats ant
7346
 
7347
  * Jats utility wrapper
7348
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7349
 
5710 dpurdie 7350
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7351
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7352
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7353
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7354
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7355
 
5710 dpurdie 7356
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7357
    expect a build.pl file.
7358
 
7359
  * Jats utility wrapper
7360
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7361
 
7362
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7363
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7364
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7365
 
7366
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7367
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7368
 
7369
  * Build files
7370
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7371
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7372
 
7373

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

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7941
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7942
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7943
Major changes:
7944
    * WIN32 platforms
7945
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7946
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7947
      and installed packages.
7948
 
7949
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7950
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7951
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7952
 
7953
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7954
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7955
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7956
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7957
      searched when looking for libraries.
7958
 
7959
Minor changes:
7960
    * GenerateFiles directive
7961
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7962
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7963
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7964
                          and drive letter
7965
 
7966
    * Src directive
7967
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7968
      directory of a package.
7969
 
7970
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7971
 
7972
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7973
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
7974
      found in the package and the interface directory.
7975
 
7976
    * jats_rewrite utility
7977
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
7978
 
7979
 
7980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7981
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
7982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7983
Major changes:
7984
    * SunWorks production builds
7985
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
7986
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
7987
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
7988
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
7989
      compiler documentation.
7990
 
7991
    * MOS Toolset
7992
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
7993
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
7994
 
7995
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
7996
 
7997
Minor changes:
7998
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
7999
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8000
      This should not affect current users.
8001
 
8002
    * Mugfile generation
8003
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8004
      specified.
8005
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8006

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
8009
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8010
Major changes:
8011
    MOS Toolset
8012
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8013
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8014
 
8015
Minor changes:
8016
    * Jats wrapper script
8017
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8018
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8019
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8020
 
8021
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8022
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8023
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8024
      may be suspect.
8025
 
8026
    * GenerateFiles directive
8027
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8028
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8029
 
8030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8031
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8032
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8033
Major changes:
8034
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8035
      build.xml files.
8036
 
8037
Minor changes:
8038
    * WIN32 toolset.
8039
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8040
 
8041
    * MakeAnt
8042
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8043
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8044
 
8045
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8046
 
8047
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8048
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8049
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8050
 
8051
    * MakeAnt directive
8052
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8053
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8054
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8055
 
8056
      Recommended usage:
8057
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8058
 
8059
Internal Changes
8060
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

8066
Major changes:
8067
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8068
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8069
      files packaged into the release.

8075
 
8076
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8077
      The recommended platform is:
8078
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8079
 
8080
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8081
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8082
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8083
      components.

Minor changes:
8091
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8092
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8093
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8094
      by the package to be accessed.
8095
 
8096
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8097
      application or visual studio.
8098
 
8099
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8100
      and the JATS Core path.
8101
 
8102
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8103
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8104
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8105
 
8106
    * MOS Toolset
8107
      Add support for the TPT device
8108
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8109
 
8110
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8111
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8112
 
8113
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8114
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8115
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8116
 
8117
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8118
 
8119
Internal Changes
8120
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8121
      in jats.pl
8122
 
8123
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8124
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8125
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8126
Major changes:
8127
    * JATS wrapper script
8128
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8129
 
8130
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8131
 
8132
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8133
 
8134
Minor changes:
8135
    * Deployment support
8136
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8137
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8138
 
8139
    * 'build'
8140
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8141
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8142
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8143
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8144
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8145
 
8146
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8147
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8148
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8149
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8150
                                      the link phase.
8151
 
8152
    * BuildPkgArchive
8153
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8154
      Previously these were ignored.
8155
      Minor code cleanup
8156
 
8157
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8158
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8159
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8160
 
8161
    * SOLARIS targets
8162
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8163
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8164
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8165
 
8166
    * MugFile generation
8167
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8168
      included in the final package.
8169
 
8170
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8171
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8172
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8173
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8174
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8175
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8176
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8177
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8178
 
8179
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8180
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8181
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8182
            --Option=(some_text)
8183
            --Option=[some_text]
8184
            --Option={some_text}
8185
 
8186
Internal Changes
8187
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8188
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8189
      code.
8190
 
8191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8192
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8194
Major changes:
8195
    * JATS wrapper script
8196
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8197
 
8198
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8199
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8200
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8201
      other components.
8202
 
8203
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8204
 
8205
    * JATS
8206
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8207
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8208
 
8209
    * Build operations
8210
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8211
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8212
      packages.
8213
 
8214
    * Make operations
8215
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8216
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8217
 
8218
Minor changes:
8219
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8220
      deployment builds.
8221
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8222
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8223
 
8224
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8225
 
8226
    * build.pl
8227
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8228
        processed. Allows
8229
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8230
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8231
        production.
8232
 
8233
    * MOS toolset
8234
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8235
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8236
 
8237
    * create_dpkg utility
8238
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8239
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8240
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8241
      progress of the build.
8242
 
8243
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8244
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8245
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8246
      system.
8247
 
8248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8249
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8251
Major changes:
8252
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8253
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8254
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8255
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8256
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8257
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8258
 
8259
    * WCEX86A500 target
8260
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8261
 
8262
    * MOS Toolsets
8263
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8264
      the compiler.
8265
 
8266
    * RunTest directive
8267
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8268
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8269
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8270
 
8271
Minor changes:
8272
    * JATS BUILD
8273
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8274
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8275
      highlight bad settings.
8276
 
8277
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8278
      access to extensions.
8279
 
8280
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8281
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8283
Major changes:
8284
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8285
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8286
 
8287
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8288
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8289
      under unix.
8290
 
8291
Minor changes:
8292
    * label utility
8293
      Added options to:
8294
        o Delete a label
8295
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8296
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8297
 
8298
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8299
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8300
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8301
      Package directives.
8302
 
8303
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8304
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8305
      system.
8306
 
8307
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8308
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8309
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8310
Major changes:
8311
    * MOS Toolset
8312
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8313
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8314
 
8315
    * WIN32 Toolset
8316
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8317
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8318
      list.
8319
 
8320
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8321
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8322
 
8323
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8324
 
8325
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8326
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8327
 
8328
 
8329
Minor changes:
8330
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8331
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8332
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8333
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8334
      corrected.
8335
 
8336
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8337
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8338
 
8339
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8340
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8341
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8342
 
8343
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8344
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8346
Major changes:
8347
    * WIN32 Toolset
8348
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8349
      use with multithreaded modes.
8350
 
8351
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8352
      --OnlyProd.
8353
 
8354
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8355
      within the makefile.pl.
8356
 
8357
Minor changes:
8358
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8359
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8360
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8361
      platforms.
8362
 
8363
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8364
 
8365
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8366
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8367
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8368
Major changes:
8369
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8370
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8371
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8372
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8373
 
8374
    * Preliminary Support
8375
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8376
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8377
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8378
 
8379
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8380
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8381
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8382
 
8383
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8384
      building. The default build will build both.
8385
 
8386
Minor changes:
8387
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8388
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8389
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8390
 
8391
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8392
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8393
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8394
 
8395
 
8396
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8397
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8398
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8399
Major changes:
8400
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8401
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8402
      or all.
8403
 
8404
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8405
      the library or program.
8406
 
8407
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8408
 
8409
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8410
      library or any debug files.
8411
 
8412
    * GenerateFiles
8413
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8414
 
8415
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8416
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8417
 
8418
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8419
              The filename of the prereq file
8420
 
8421
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8422
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8423
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8424
 
8425
 
8426
Minor changes:
8427
    * create_dpkg utility
8428
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8429
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8430
      the package has been altered.
8431
 
8432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8433
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8435
Major changes:
8436
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8437
      This is a WINCE target
8438
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8439
 
8440
    * New toolset
8441
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8442
 
8443
    * Modified toolset
8444
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8445
 
8446
    * Modified toolset
8447
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8448
 
8449
Minor changes:
8450
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8451
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8452
 
8453
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8454
 
8455
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8456
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8457
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8458
 
8459
      The change allows the construct
8460
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8461
      to be replaced by the simpler
8462
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8463
 
8464
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8465
      specified name.    
8466

8486
Major changes:
8487
    * The "package.pl" file.
8488
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8489
      package name being taken from the build name

8491
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8492
      package Build Name.
8493
 
8494
Minor changes:
8495
    * create_dpkg utility
8496
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8497

8500
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8501
Major changes:
8502
 
8503
Minor changes:
8504
    * Dependancy generator
8505
      Correct two common situations
8506
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8507
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8508
           ansi, but is often done.
8509
 
8510
    * GCC toolset
8511
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8512
      being created in the correct place.
8513
 
8514
    * jats "label"
8515
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8516
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8517
 
8518
 
8519
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8520
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8521
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8522
Major changes:
8523
 
8524
Minor changes:
8525
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8526
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8527
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8528
 
8529
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8530
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8531
 
8532
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8533
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8534
      package was not being transferred.
8535
 
8536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8537
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8538
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8539
Major changes:
8540
    * Support for solaris_i386
8541
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8542
      binaries for this target.
8543
 
8544
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8545
      with the GCC compiler.
8546
 
8547
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8548
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8549
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8550
 
8551
Minor changes:
8552
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8553
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8554
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8555
 
8556
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8557
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8558
 
8559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8560
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8561
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8562
Major changes:
8563
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8564
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8565
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8566
 
8567
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8568
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8569
 
8570
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8571
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8572
      with either " or ' characters.
8573
 
8574
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8575
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8576
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8577
 
8578
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8579
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8580
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8581
 
8582
    * Jats wrapper
8583
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8584
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8585
      further commands.
8586
 
8587
Minor changes:
8588
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8589
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8590
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8591
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8592
 
8593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8594
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8596
Major changes:
8597
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8598
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8599
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8600
 
8601
      These options operation affect all components within the
8602
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8603
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8604
 
8605
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8606
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8607
 
8608
Minor changes:
8609
 
8610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8611
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8612
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8613
Major changes:
8614
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8615
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8616
 
8617
Minor changes:
8618
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8619
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8620
 
8621
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8622
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8623
 
8624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8625
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8627
Major changes:
8628
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8629
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8630
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8631
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8632
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8633
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8634
      installed.
8635
 
8636
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8637
      libraries that depend on each other.
8638
 
8639
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8640
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8641
 
8642
Minor changes:
8643
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8644
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8645
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8646
 
8647
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8648
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8649
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8650
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8651
 
8652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8653
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8654
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8655
Major changes:
8656
 
8657
Minor changes:
8658
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8659
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8660
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8661
      file.
8662
 
8663
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8664
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8665
 
8666
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8667
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8668
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8669
 
8670
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8671
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8672
 
8673
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8674
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8675
 
8676
    * WinCE toolsets
8677
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8678
      compiler specific libraries.
8679
 
8680
    * SOLARIS toolset
8681
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8682
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8683
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8684
 
8685
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8686
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8687
      cleaned up.
8688
 
8689
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8690
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8691
 
8692
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8693
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8694
      with either " or ' characters.
8695
 
8696
 
8697
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8698
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8699
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8700
Major changes:
8701
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8702
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8703
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8704
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8705
 
8706
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8707
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8708
 
8709
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8710
      user.
8711
 
8712
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8713
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8714
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8715
 
8716
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8717
      for the   -Gf option.
8718
 
8719
Minor changes:
8720
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8721
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8722
 
8723
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8724
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8725
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8726
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8727
 
8728
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8729
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8731
Major changes:
8732
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8733
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8734
 
8735
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8736
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8737
      data addresses for the board.
8738
 
8739
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8740
 
8741
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8742
 
8743
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8744
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8745
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8746
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8747
         PackageFile
8748
 
8749
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8750
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8751
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8752
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8753
 
8754
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8755
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8756
      to be installed and packaged.
8757
 
8758
Minor changes:
8759
 
8760
    * cache_dpkg utility
8761
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8762
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8763
 
8764
    * label utility
8765
      New option -auto to create and label
8766
 
8767
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8768
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8769
 
8770
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8771
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8772
      directory. ie:
8773
 
8774
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8775
 
8776
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8777
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8778
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8779
 
8780
 
8781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8782
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8783
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8784
Major changes:
8785
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8786
 
8787
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8788
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8789
 
8790
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8791
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8792
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8793
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8794
 
8795
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8796
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8797
      compilation.
8798
 
8799
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8800
 
8801
Minor changes:
8802
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8803
      one is being produced.
8804
 
8805
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8806
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8807
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8808
 
8809
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8810
 
8811
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8812
 
8813
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8814
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8815
 
8816
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8817
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8819
Major changes:
8820
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8821
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8822
 
8823
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8824
 
8825
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8826
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8827
      same directory
8828
 
8829
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8830
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8831
      documenattion.
8832
 
8833
Minor changes:
8834
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8835
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8836
 
8837
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8838
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8839
 
8840
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8841
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8842
 
8843
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8844
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8845
 
8846
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8847
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8848
      be exempt from this test.
8849
 
8850
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8851
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8852
 
8853
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8854
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8855
 
8856
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8857
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8858
      does.
8859
 
8860
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8861
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8862
 
8863
 
8864
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8865
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8866
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8867
Major changes:
8868
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8869
 
8870
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8871
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8872
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8873
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8874
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8875
 
8876
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8877
      operations.
8878
 
8879
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8880
 
8881
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8882
 
8883
Minor changes
8884
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8885
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8886
 
8887
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8888
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8889
      directory is not added to the library path.
8890
 
8891
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8892
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8893
 
8894
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8895
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8896
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8897
 
8898
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8899
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8900
      specific flags.
8901
 
8902
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8903
 
8904
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8905
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8906
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8907
 
8908
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8909
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8910
      JATS.
8911
 
8912
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8913
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8914
 
8915
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8916
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8917
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8918
 
8919
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8920
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8921
 
8922
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8923
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8924
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8925
 
8926
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8927
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8928
 
8929
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8930
 
8931
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8932
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8933
 
8934
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8935
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8936
      objects.
8937
 
8938
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8939
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8940
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8941
      build defendants.
