      Exclude .svn sub directories.
948
 
949
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
950
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
951
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
952
      build errors.
953
 
954
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
955
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
956
 
957
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
958
      Shorthand for
959
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
960
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
961
 
962
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
963
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
964
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
965
      Examples: 
966
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
967
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
968
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
969
 
970
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
971
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
972
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
973
 
974
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
975
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
976
      build system.
977
 
978
Experimental:
979
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
980
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
981
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

986
------------------------------------------------------------------------
987
 
988
Minor changes:
989
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
990
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
991
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
992
 
993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
994
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
996
 
997
Minor changes:
998
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
999
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1000
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1001
 
1002
    * Build Files
1003
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1004
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1005
 
1006
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1007
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1008
 
1009
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1010
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1011
 
1012
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1013
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1014
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1015
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1016
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1017
 
1018
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1019
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1020
     different architectures.
1021
 
1022
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1023
     are directed to one or more machines.
1024
 
1025
     Intended uses:
1026
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1027
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1028
 
1029
       All: Specialized packaging.
1030
 
1031
    * Makefiles
1032
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1033
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1034
      Eg:
1035
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1036
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1037
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1038
      It could also have been written as:
1039
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1040
      but NOT as:
1041
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1042
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1043
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1044
 
1045
    * Utility: sandbox
1046
      Subcommand info 
1047
        - Added option to test fingerprints

    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
1056
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
1057
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1058
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1059
 
1060
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1061
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1062
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1063
 
1064
    * GenerateFiles directive
1065
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
1066

      all Instrumented builds.
1084
 
1085
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1086
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1087
 
1088
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1089
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1090
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1091
      machine may build the toolset.
1092
 
1093
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1094
      platform.
1095

1112
      It is not used.
1113
 
1114
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
1115
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1116
 
1117
    * Utility: escrow
1118
      Added -skim option
1119
 
1120
    * Utility: sandbox
1121
      Many improvements:

1123
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1124
 
1125
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1126
 
1127
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1128
        if an error is detected.
1129
 
1130
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1131
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1132
 
1133
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1134
        skipped during the build.
1135
 
1136
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1141
 
1142
Minor changes:
1143
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1144
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1145
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1146
 
1147
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
1148
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

5109 dpurdie 1847
Major changes:
1848
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1849
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1850
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1851
 
1852
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1853
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1854
      duplicates corrected.
1855
 
1856
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1857
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1858
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1859
 
1860
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1861
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1862
      displayed at the end of the build process.

2056
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
2057
 
2058
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
2059
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2091
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2092
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2093
 
2094
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2095
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2096
 
2097
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2098
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

Minor changes:
2389
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2390
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2391
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2392
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2393
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2394
 
2395
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2396
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

        -addfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2407
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2408
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2409
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh
2410
      Allow filters without wildcard characters to work correctly.
2411
      Report filter elements that are not used.
2412

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2423
Major changes:
2424
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2425
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2426
      intended to build deployed software.
2427
 
2428
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2429
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2430
 
2431
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2432
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2433
 
2434
Minor changes:
2435
    * Jats wrapper script
2436
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2437
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2438
      Subversion instance of the command.
2439
 
2440
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2441
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2442
 
2443
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2444

2448
      file under windows.
2449
 
2450
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2451
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2452
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2453
 
2454
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2455
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2456
 
2457
    * GCC Toolchain
2458
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2474
Major changes:
2475
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2476
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2477
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2478
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2479
 
2480
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2481
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

2491
Minor changes:
2492
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2493
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2494
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2495
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2496
      line.
2497
 
2498
    * Jats Configuration
2499
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2500
 
2501
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2502
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2503
      and Linux.
2504
 
2505
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2506
      correctly rippled.

Minor changes:
2514
    * Jats Core
2515
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2516
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2517
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2518
 
2519
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2520
      Used only by the build daemons.
2521
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2522
 
2523
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2524
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2525
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

Major changes:
2531
 
2532
Minor changes:
2533
    * svnrelease utility
2534
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2535
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2536
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2537
 
2538
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2539
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2540
      the named tag.
2541
 
2542
    * svnrelease utility
2543
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2544
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2587
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2588
      we have build support for this target.
2589
 
2590
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.

2610
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2611
Major changes:
2612
 
2613
Minor changes:
2614
    * Makefile generation
2615
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2616
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2617
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2618
      of warnings.
2619
 
2620
    * Makefile Generation
2621
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

2429 dpurdie 2629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2630
Major changes:
2631
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2632
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2633
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2634
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2635
 
2636
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2637
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2638
      windows path scheme.
2639
 
2640
Minor changes:
2641
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2642
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2643
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2644
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2645
 
2646
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2647
        jats make clobber
2648
      This operates as before.
2649
 
2650
    * Utility: escrow
2651
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2652
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2653
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2654
 
2655
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2656
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2657
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2658
 
2659
    * Utility: svn : url
2660
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2661
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2662
 
2663
    * Utility: svn : import
2664
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2665
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2666
 
2667
    * Subversion Support
2668
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2669
      showing the user what to do.
2670
 
2671
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2672
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2673
      repositories.
2674

2677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2678
 
2679
Minor changes:
2680
    * Jats build
2681
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2682
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2683
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2684
 
2685
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2686
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2687
 
2688
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

2698
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2699
                 Can also display available branches.
2700
 
2054 dpurdie 2701
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd
2702

2704
    * Utility: rtag_extract
2705
        * Added -[no]log option to control the output
2706
        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2707
 
2708
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2709
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2710
      Modified two options:
2711
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2712
                        The named branch must not exist
2713
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2714
                        The named branch must exist
2715
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2724
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2725
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2726
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2749
 
2750
Major changes:
2751
    * Jats Version Number
2752
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2753
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2754
      significantly.
2755
 
2756

Major changes:
2767
    * Subversion support

      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2769
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2770
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2771
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2772
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2773
 
2774
Minor changes:
2775
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2776
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2777
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2778
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2779
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2780
 
2781
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2782
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2783
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2784
 
2785
    * Linux support utilities
2786
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2787

2797
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2798
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2800
 
2801
Minor changes:
2802
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2803
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2804
 
2805
    * Utility: svnrelease
2806
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2807
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2808
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2809
 
2810
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2811
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2812
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2813
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2814
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2815
 
2816
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2817
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2818
 
2819
    * Utility: sandbox
2820
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2821
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2822
 
2823
      Subcommand: populate
2824
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2825
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2826
      sandbox.
2827
 
2828
    * Subversion Support
2829
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2830
      repository is not supported.
2831
 
2832
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2833
      a progress indication.
2834
 
2835
    * Jats Online Documentation
2836
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2837
      online documentation.
2838
 
2839
    * Generated makefiles
2840
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2917
Major changes:
2918
 
2919
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2920
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2921
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2922
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2923
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

2940
 
2941
    * Utility ccrelease
2942
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2943
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2944
 
2945
    * Utility: svn

2974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2975
Major changes:
2976
 
2977
Minor changes:
2978
    * Command: jats clobber
2979
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2980
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2981
 
2982
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2983
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2984
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2985
 
2986
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2987
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2988
 
377 dpurdie 2989
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2990
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2991
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 2992
 
2993
    * jats svnlabel
2994
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
2995
 
2996
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
2997
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
2998
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
2999
 
3000
    * Built Daemon support
3001
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3002
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches

373 dpurdie 3005
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
3006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3007
Major changes:
3008
    * GCC Toolset
3009
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3010
      New methodology is:
3011
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3012
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3013
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3014
        as the main binary.
3015
 
3016
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3017
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3018
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3019
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3020
      both worlds.
3021
 
3022
Minor changes:
3023
    * HTML Documentation
3024

Major changes:
3035
    * Jats Sandbox
3036
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3037
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3038
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3039

3064
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3065
 
3066
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3067
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3068
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3069
      a vob.
3070
 
3071

3149
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
3150

3151
 
3152
Minor changes:
3153
    * HTML Help
3154
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3155
 
3156
    * jats build -noforce
3157
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3158
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3159
      be forced.
3160
 
3161
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3162
 
3163
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3164
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3165
 
3166
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3167
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3168
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3169
 
3170
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3171
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3172
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3173
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3174
 
3175
    * Utility: svnrelease
3176
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3177
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3178
 
3179
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3180
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3181
 
3182
    * Utility: svn
3183
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3184
      installed and can be used.
3185
 
3186
    * Toolset: CSharp
3187
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3188
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3189
      character.
3190
 
3191
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3192
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3193
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3194
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3195
      masking an error.
3196
 
3197
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3198
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3199
      enhancement.
3200
 
3201
    * Toolset: dafbr
3202
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3203
 
3204
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3205
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3206
        - Return correct path to package
3207
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3208
 
3209
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3210
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3211
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3212
 
3213
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3214
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3215
      packages.
3216
 
3217
    * make command: show
3218
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3219
      'jats make show' command.
3220
 
3221
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3222
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3223
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3224
 
3225
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3226
      executed on Unix machines.

3262
 
3263
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3264
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3265
 
3266
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3267
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3268
      developers.

3290
      in a package archive.
3291
 
3292
      Sub command: create
3293
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
3294
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
3295
      package version.
3296
 
3297
      Command specific help
3298
      Each sub command now has its own help.

3448
      New option: --NoToolSet
3449
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3450
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3451
 
3452
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3453
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3454
      need toolset specific information.
3455
 
3456
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3457
 
3458
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

3587
    * Jats label command
3588
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3589
      Not recommended for general use.
3590
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3591
      directories within the current view.
3592
 
3593
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3594
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3595
      elsewhere.
3596
 
3597
    * Jats save_build
3598
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3599
      the determination of a branch.
3600
 
3601
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3602
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3603
 
3604
    * Jats build
3605
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3606
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3607
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3608
 
3609
    * Borland6 toolset
3610
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3611

3612
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3613
 
3614
    * Jats build
3615
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3616
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3617
      This is a very quick operation.
3618
 
3619
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3620
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3621
 
3622
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3623
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3624
      files are only recreated if need be.
3625
 
3626
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3627
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3628
      make the package.
3629
 
3630
    * Jats sandbox
3631
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3632
 
3633
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3634
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3635
 
3636
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3637
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3638
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3639
      is performed.
3640
 
3641

3679
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3680
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3681
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3682
 
3683
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3684
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly

    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3710
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be

3712
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3713
 
3714
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3715
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3716
 
3717
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help

3729
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3730
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3731
 
3732
Minor changes:
3733
 
3734
Internal changes:
3735
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3736
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3739
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3741
Major changes:
3742
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3743
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3744
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3745
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3746
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3747
      stream.
3748
 
3749
      Example:
3750
 
3751
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3752
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3753
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3754
                     );
3755
Minor changes:
3756
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3757
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3758
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3759
      directive.
3760
 
3761
    * GCC Toolkit
3762
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3763
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3764
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3765
      the point of termination.
3766
 
3767
    * Jats save_build utility
3768
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3769
      under windows.
3770
 
3771
    * Jats sandbox
3772
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3773
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3774
      in different sandboxes.
3775
 
3776
    * Jats release
3777
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3778

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
3781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3782
Major changes:
3783
 
3784
Minor changes:
3785
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3786
      Added -locatedir=name
3787
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3788
      directory.
3789
 
3790
    * jats label utility
3791
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3792
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3793
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3794
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3795
 
3796
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3797

Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 3800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3801
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3802
 
3803
Minor changes:
3804
    * WinCe Toolsets
3805
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3806
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3807
        noExceptions            - Disable
3808
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3809
      Example:
3810
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3811
 
3812
    * Solaris targets
3813
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3814
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3815
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3816
      machine type.
3817
 
3818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3819
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3821
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3822
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3823
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3824
      project files.
3825
 
3826
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3827
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3828
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3829
 
3830
Minor changes:
3831
    * Added more internal documentation
3832
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3833
 
3834
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3835
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3836
 
3837
    * Jats save_build utility
3838
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3839
      under windows.
3840
 
3841
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3842
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3843
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3844
      libraries.
3845
 
3846
    * Solaris builds
3847
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3848
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3849
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3850
      of the build failure.
3851
 
3852
 
3853
Internal changes:
3854
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3855
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3856
 
3857
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3858
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
3862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3863
Major changes:
3864
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3865
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3866
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3867
      existing 32-bit builds.
3868
 
3869
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3870
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3871
 
3872
Minor changes:
3873
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3874
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3875
 
3876
    * Package searching
3877
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3878
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3879
 
3880
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3881
 
3882
    * jats help
3883
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3884
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3885
 
3886
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3887
      with one of:
3888
        jats -h
3889
        jats help jats
3890
 
3891
Internal:
3892
    * cmdfile utility
3893
      Added macros:
3894
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3895
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3896
 
3897
      Corrected
3898
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3899
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3900
 
3901
      Extended
3902
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3903
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3904
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3905
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3910
Major changes:
3911
 
3912
Minor changes:
3913
 
3914
Internal changes
3915
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3916
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3917
      Useful side effects include:
3918
 
3919
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3920
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3921
 
3922
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3923
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3924
 
3925
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3926
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3927
        BuildPkgArchive
3928
 
313 dpurdie 3929
    * Perl Modules
3930
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3931
      release. This will:
3932
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3933
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3934
          reported by ERG.
3935
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3940
Major changes:
3941
 
3942
Minor changes:
3943
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3944
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3945
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3946
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3947
 
3948
    * Jats label utility
3949
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3950
 
3951
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3952
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3953
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3954
 
3955
    * Jats core
3956
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3957
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3958
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3966
    * CSHARP toolset
3967
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3968
      This is now fixed.
3969
 
309 dpurdie 3970
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3971
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3972
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3973
 
3974
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3975
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3976
 
3977

3982
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3983
    * Generating makefiles
3984
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3985
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3986
      an error.
3987
 
3988
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3989
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3990
 
3991
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 3992
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 3993
      Refer the JATS Manual.

3998
Major changes:
3999
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4000
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4001
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4002
 
4003
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4004
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4005
 
4006
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4007
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4008
      Support includes
4009
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4010
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4011
 
4012
Minor changes:
4013
    * Build file processing
4014
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4015
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4016
 
4017
    * MOS builds
4018
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4019
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4020
 
4021
    * MOS builds
4022
      New 'known' product: PICP
4023
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4024
 
4025
    * GenerateFiles directive
4026
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4027
        under windows.
4028
 
4029
        .
4030
 
4031
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4032
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4033
 
4034
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4035
      to the output stream.
4036
 
4037
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4038
 
4039
    * Windows Shell
4040
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4041
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4042
 
4043
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4044
 
4045
    * H8S toolset
4046
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4047
 
4048
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4049
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4050
 
4051
Internal changes
4052
    * WinCe builds
4053
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4054
      content of the file.
4055
 
4056
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4057
 
4058
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4059
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4070
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4071
Major changes:
4072
 
4073
Minor changes:
4074
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4075
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4076
      Changes are transparent to users.
4077
 
4078
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4079
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4080
      this occurs.
4081
 
4082
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4083
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4084
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4085
      automated build framework.
4086
 
4087
    * jats sandbox command
4088
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4089
      'create' command.
4090
 
4091
    * jats command aliases. Added
4092
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4093
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4094

297 dpurdie 4096
Version:  2.79.4000.cr                               Released: 29-Jul-09
4097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4098
Major changes:
4099
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4100
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4101
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4102
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4103
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4104
      will work as expected
4105
 
4106
Minor changes:

4163
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4164
Major changes:
4165
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4166
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4167
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4168
 
4169
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4170
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4171
 
4172
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4173
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4174
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4175
           names cannot be changed.
4176
 
4177
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4178
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4179
 
4180
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4181
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4182
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4183
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4184
 
4185
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4186
      file.
4187
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4188
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4189
      MyPackage.dpk.
4190
 
4191
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4192
      file.
4193
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4194
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4195
      MyDll.dpr.
4196
 
4197
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4198
      file.
4199
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4200
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4201
      MyProg.dpr.
4202
 
4203
Minor changes:
4204
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4205
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4206
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4207
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4208
 
4209
    * BuildVersion directive
4210
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4211
      in a Delphi Unit.
4212
 
4213
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4214
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4215
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4216
      'know' the location of the files.
4217
 
4218
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4219
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4220
 
4221
Internal Changes:
4222
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4223
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4224
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4225
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4226
 
4227
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4228
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4229
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4234
Major changes:
4235
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4236
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4237
      information for purely C++ builds.
4238
 
289 dpurdie 4239
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4240
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4241
 
289 dpurdie 4242
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4243
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4244
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4245
 
4246
Minor changes:
4247
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4248
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4249
 
4250
    * updatenodespec utility
4251
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4252
      Manager database.

4276
 
4277
Minor changes:
4278
    * MergeLibrary directive
4279

4280
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.

4288
Minor changes:
4289
    * New command: jats make show
4290
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4291
      used in the build.
4292
 
4293
    * Escrow command
4294
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4295
 
4296
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4297
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4298
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4299
 
4300
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4301
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4302
 
4303
------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 dpurdie 4304

277 dpurdie 4305
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4306
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4307
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4308
 
279 dpurdie 4309
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4310
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4311
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4312
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4313
 
4314
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4315
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4316
 
4317
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4318
 
4319
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4320
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4321
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4322
 
4323
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4324
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4325
        processed.
4326
 
4327
      Removed the '-delete' option
4328
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4329
 
277 dpurdie 4330
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4331
    * Sandbox command
4332
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4333
 
4334
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4335
      target from consideration in the build set.
4336
 
4337
    * MCR Toolset
4338
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4339
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4340
 
4341
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4342
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4343
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4344
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4345
 
4346
    * Jats run_test command
4347
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4348
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4349
 
4350
    * descpkg file
4351
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4352
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4353
 
4354
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4355
     Now contains build trace information
4356
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4357
 
4358
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4359
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4360
     it contains 'jar' files.
4361
 
4362
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4363
 
4364
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4365
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4366
 
4367
   * BuildVersion directive
4368
     Form:
4369
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4370
     now works as expected.
4371
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4372
 
4373
Internal Changes:
4374
 
4375
    * Error reporting mechanism
4376
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4377
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4378
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4388
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4389
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4390
    then starts.
4391
 
4392
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4393
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4394
 
4395
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4396
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4397
    non-platform option.
4398
 
279 dpurdie 4399
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    * Jats Utility: dstatus
4413
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4414
 
4415
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4416
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4417
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4418
 
4419
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4420
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4421
 
4422
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4423
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4424
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4425
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
4426
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4427
 
4428
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh

      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4430
      to the invoked application.
4431
 
4432
Internal Changes:
4433
    * JatsCopy Package

4508
    * makelib.pl2
4509
      Added mechanism to allow toolsets to register for notification
4510
      of specific source files present in the build.
4511
 
4512
      Improved readability of the generated makefiles.
4513

4524
 
4525
    * JatsSvnCore.pm
4526
      Made use of a new binary utility ('stdmux') to multiplex stdout and

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
4538
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4539
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4540
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation
4541
    of the ClearCase related metrics.

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
4554
 
4555
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
4556
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
4557

        define_source_file              (Default)
4562
 
4563
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4564
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4565
 
4566
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
4567
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward

4574
            --InstallProg=list
4575
 
4576
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
4577
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
4578
      GenerateCab.
4579
 
4580
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

Internal Changes:
4593
    * These utility 'gen_winrc' now uses module used by the BuildVersion
4594
      directive to created the resource file.
4595
 
4596
      The BuildVersion.pm module has been modified to allows it to be used in
4597
      a standalone manner by gen_winrc.pl.

4629
    * Jats GenerateFiles directive
4630
      New option '--PreDelete' will delete all generated files before
4631
      the generator process is run. This may be used in cases where the

4647
Internal Changes:
4648
    * Resolved issues with JatsEnv modules that make it difficult to include
4649
      the modules in other modules. This is now a package

4657
 
4658
      Added JatsTool to be more efficient where a known JATS tool is being
4659
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4660
      programs.
4661
 
4662
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.
4663
      Changes is not visible to the users, assist they go through the 'jats'

      After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
4676
      Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
4677
      been increased.
4678
 
4679

4689
 
4690
      This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".
4691
 
4692
      Suggested new usage:
4693
        jats etool jats_save_build
4694
                        -pname=xxxx

4709
      object files and the makefile to be ignored.
4710
 
4711
      Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
4712
      default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
4713
      time.
4714
 
4715
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4716
      Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

4729
 
4730
Internal Changes:
4731
    * JATS make: Detection of makefile dependencies
4732
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4733
      Previously was being done at two places
4734
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4735
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4736
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4737
 
4738
    * JATS make: Command line
4739
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4740
      Improved use of "options=args|allargs"
4741
 
4742
      It didn't work on all platforms.

4747
      to allow:
4748
        + Direct level specification (-verbose=3)
4749
        + Better use of Perl Option Parsing Utilities
4750
        + Consistent use of option parsing
4751

4774
      Many files where incorrectly tagged and were not being cleaned up.
4775
 
4776
    * FileUtils package.
4777
      Added functions to create and append text to small text files.

4797
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4798
 
4799
Minor changes:
4800
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4801
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

    * Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 [DEVI-049017]
4811
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4812
 
4813
      New platforms:
4814
        CSHARP2005
4815
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4816
         Support extends to allow:
4817
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4818
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4819
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4820
 
4821
        VS2005
4822
         Support extends to allow:
4823
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4824
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4825
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4826
 
4827
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4828
      through a version selector:
4829
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4830
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4831
 
4832
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4833
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4834
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4835
 
4836
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4837
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4838
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4839
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4840
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4841
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4842
          under VS2005.
4843
 
4844
Minor changes:
4845
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4846
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4847
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4848
 
4849
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4850
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4851
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4852
 
4853
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4854
 
4855
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4856
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4857
 
4858
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4859
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4860
      a minimal value of perl.
4861
 
4862
      Removed excessive require statements.
4863
 
4864
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4865
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4866
      Include JATS specific files for
4867
        1) Windows
4868
        2) Linux
4869
 
4870
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4871
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4872
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4873
      machines.
4874
 
4875
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4876
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4877
 
4878
    * JATS Environment
4879
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4880
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4881
 
4882
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4883
      wrapper scripts.

4919
      reviewing a new package.
4920
 
4921

4939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4940
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4941
  * New toolset and platform
4942
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4943
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4944
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4945
    this platform.
4946
 
4947
Minor changes:
4948
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4949
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4950
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4951
    work.
4952
 
4953
  * Jats utility: release
4954
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4955
    published to dpkg_archive.
4956
 
249 dpurdie 4957
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4958
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4959
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4960
    supported for ANT builds.
4961
 
4962
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4963
        releasemanager.releasename
4964
        releasemanager.projectname
4965
 
4966
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4967
    tagged data item of the form
4968
 
4969
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4970
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4971
 
4972
  * Mug File Generation
4973
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4974
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4975
 
4976
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4977
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4978
    required.
4979
 
4980
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4981
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4982
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4983
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4984
    the files in order to use them.
4985
 
4986
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4987
    locate the file.
4988
 
4989
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4990
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4991
 
4992
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
4993
        * CSharp
4994
        * Properties
4995
        * WinRC
4996
 
4997
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
4998
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
4999
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5000
    Value is correctly assigned.

5004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5005
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5006
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5007
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5008
 
5009
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5010
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5011
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5012
 
5013
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5014
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5015
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5016
 
5017
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5018
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5019
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5020
 
5021
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5022
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5023
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5024
    correct.
5025
 
5026
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5027
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5028
 
5029
Minor changes:
5030
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5031
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5032
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5033
 
5034
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5035
    This will simplify new user setup.
5036
 
5037
  * All Unix Toolsets
5038
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5039
    on unix systems
5040
 
5041
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5042
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5043
    on some Solaris Machines.
5044
 
5045
  * JATS -version=<version>
5046
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5047
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
5048

5092
  * JATS builds
5093
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging

5095
    mode.
5096
 
5097
  * JATS makefiles
5098
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5099
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5100
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5101
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5102
                            SetList directive.
5103

5112
 
5113
  * JATS buildfile processing
5114
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS

    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5250
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5251
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5252
 
5253
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5254
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5255
 
5256
    * Jats wrapper
5257
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5258

Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5264
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5265
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5266
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5267
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5268
 
5269
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5270
 
5271
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5272
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5273
 
5274
    * Running Jats
5275
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5276
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5277
      This may affect some windows developers.
5278
 
5279
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5280
      Future versions will generate an error.

      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5283
 
5284
Minor changes:
5285
    * Perl Version Check
5286
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5287
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5288
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5289
 
5290
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5291
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5292
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5293
      build.
5294
 
5295
    * Jats Internals
5296
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5297
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5298
 
5299
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5300
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5301
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5302
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5303
      process.
5304
 
5305
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5306
      Only works under Windows.
5307
 
5308
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5309
 
5310
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5311
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5312
 
5313
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5314
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5315
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5316
 
5317
    * Jats eprog
5318
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5319
      directory.
5320
 
5321
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5322
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5323
      build metrics.
5324

5328
Major changes:
5329
 
5330
Minor changes:
5331
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5332
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5333
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5334
      automated build system. New options are:
5335
        -pname=Package_Name
5336
        -pversion=Package_Version
5337
 
5338
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5339
      transferring the package. New options are:
5340
        -test
5341
 
5342
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5343
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5344
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5345
 
5346
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5347
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5348
 
5349
    * Solaris Toolset
5350
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5351
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5352
      programs are still supported.

5357
Major changes:
5358
 
5359
Minor changes:
5360
    * WINCE toolsets
5361
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5362
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5363
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5364
      when header files cannot be found.
5365
 
5366
    * GenerateFiles directive
5367
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5368
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5369
      that are difficult to solve.
5370
 
5371
    * MakePerlModule directive
5372
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5373
      to the the module builder.
5374
 
5375
    * Jats Tool: label
5376
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5377
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5378
      -dirs=xxx options.
5379
 
5380
    * Jats Tool: release
5381
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5382
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5383
 
5384
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5385
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5386
 
5387
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5388
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5389
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5390
 
5391
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

Major changes:
5398
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5399
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5400
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5401
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5402
 
5403
Minor changes:
5404
    * label utility
5405
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5406
 
5407
    * make package and install operations
5408
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5409
      transfer.
5410
 
5411
    * make clean up
5412
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5413
 
5414
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5415
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5416
      minor file transformations such as:
5417
        Copy, with optional rename
5418
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5419
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5420
 
5421
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5422
 
5423
    * jats release utility
5424
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5425
      in place.
5426
 
5427
    * escrow utility
5428
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5429
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
5437
    * Makefile generation
5438
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5439
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5440
      generate phase early.
5441
 
5442

5443
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
5444
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5445
Major changes:
5446
 
5447
Minor changes:
5448
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5449
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5450
 
5451
    * Makefile generation
5452
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5453
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5454
 
5455
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5456
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5457
 
5458
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5459
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5460
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5461
 
5462
    * jats_rewrite utility
5463
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5464
 
5465
    * jats escrow utility
5466
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5467
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5468
 
5469
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5470
      inconsistent packages.
5471
 
5472
    * jats make help
5473
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5474
      available within the current build.
5475
 
5476
    * jats makefiles
5477
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5478
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5479
 
5480
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5481
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5482
 
5483
    * gcc toolset
5484
      SharedLibries.
5485
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5486
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5487
 
5488
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5489
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5490
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5491
 
5492
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5493
        New options:
5494
            --MultiScan
5495
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5496
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5497
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5503
Major changes:
5504
 
5505
Minor changes:
5506
    PackageLib directive
5507
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5508
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5509
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5510
 
5511
    MakefileGenerate directive
5512
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5513
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5514
 
5515
    Multiple Parent detection
5516
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5517
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5518
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5519
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5520
 
5521
    Solaris Toolset
5522
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5523
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5524
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5525
    link.
5526
 
5527
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5528
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5529
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5530
 
5531
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5532
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5533
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5534
    file.

5539
Major changes:
5540
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5541
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5542
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5543
 
5544
    Summary of changes:
5545
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5546
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5547
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5548
          flexibility.
5549
 
5550
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5551
 
5552
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5553
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5554
          interface directory and associated build information.
5555
 
5556
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5557
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5558
          than one second.
5559
 
5560
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5561
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5562
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5563
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5564
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5565
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5566
 
5567
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5568
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5569
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5570
 
5571
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5572
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5573
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5574
          building them.
5575
 
5576
        - Detection of build file changes
5577
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5578
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5579
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5580
 
5581
        - Quieter make output
5582
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5583
 
5584
 
5585
Minor changes:
5586
    MakeAnt Directive
5587
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5588
 
5589
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5590
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5591
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5592
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5593
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5594
 
5595
    CSHARP toolset
5596
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5597

5604
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5605
    are generated.
5606
 
5607
    MakeAnt
5608
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5609
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5610
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5611
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5612
 
5613
    MCR platform

5622
Minor changes:
5623
    MakeAnt directive extended
5624
    New option: --PackageBase
5625
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5626
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5627
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5628
 
5629
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5630
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5631
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5632
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5652
 
5653
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5654
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5655
 
5656
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5657
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5658
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5659
 
5660
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5661
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5662
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5663
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command

      Added a WIN32 specific compiler option to control the pre compiled
5679
      headers.
5680
 
5681
        CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'PreCompileHdrs' );        (default)

Minor changes:
5691
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5692
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5693
 
5694
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5695
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5696
      last.
5697
 
5698
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5699
 
5700
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5701
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5702
 
5703
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5704
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5705
 
5706
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5707
 
5708
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5709
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5710
 
5711
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5712
 
5713
 
5714
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5715
           with the --System option
5716
 
5717
    * LMOS target platform
5718
      Includes LINUX_ETX

5723
Major changes:
5724
 
5725
Minor changes:
5726
    * Solaris Toolset
5727
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5728
      dependent packages.
5729
 
5730
    * RunTest operation
5731
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5732
 
5733
    * Csharp toolkit
5734
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5735
 
5736

5737
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5738
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5739
Major changes:
5740
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5741
 
5742
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5743
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5744
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5745
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5746
      path.
5747
 
5748
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5749
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5750
      reproducible.
5751
 
5752
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5753
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5754
 
5755
      There are several aspects to the change
5756
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5757
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5758
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5759
 
5760
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5761
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5762
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5763
          controlled separately.
5764
 
5765
Minor changes:
5766
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5767
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5768
        Remove duplicates
5769
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5770

5772
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5774
Major changes:
5775
 
5776
Minor changes:
5777
    * Makefile sanity test
5778
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5779
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5780
 
5781
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5782
      x86 machine.
5783
 
5784
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5785
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5786
 
5787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5788
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5790
Major changes:
5791
    * RunTest directive
5792
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5793
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5794
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5795
 
5796
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5797
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5798
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5799
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5800
 
5801
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5802
        builder within the current toolset.
5803
 
5804
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5805
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5806
 
5807
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5808
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5809
      containing the RunTest directive.
5810
 
5811
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5812
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5813
 
5814
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5815
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5816
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5817
 
5818
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5819
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5820
                            P or D suffix.
5821
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5822
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5823
 
5824
Minor changes:
5825
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5826
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5827
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5828
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5829
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5830
 
5831
    * Save Build Utility
5832
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5833
      used in a ripple build.
5834
 
5835
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5836
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5837
 
5838
    * Release Utility
5839
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5840
      when an error is encountered.
5841
 
5842
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5843
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5844
 
5845
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5846
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5847
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5848
 
5849
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5850
      before the makefiles are created.
5851
 
5852
    * TestProg directive
5853
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5854
 
5855
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5856
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5857

5861
Major changes:
5862
    * New build target
5863
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5864
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5865
 
5866
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5867
            DEVLINUX
5868
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5869
 
5870
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5871
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5872
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5873
 
5874
Minor changes:
5875
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5876
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5877
 
5878
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5879
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5880
 
5881
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5882
      and .cs files.
5883
 
5884
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5885
      thing.
5886
 
5887
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5888
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5889
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5890
      were it places temp files.
5891
 
5892
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5893
      interaction with other builds.
5894
 
5895
    * Release utility command
5896
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5897
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5898
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5959
  * Deployment
5960
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5961
 
5962
  * build.pl
5963
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5964
 
5965
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5966
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5967
 
5968
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5969
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5970
    build.
5971
 
5972
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5973
 
5974
  * Tool: escrow
5975

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

6455
  * jats build
6456
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6457
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6458
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6459
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6460
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6461
 
6462
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6463
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6464
    Path is not specified.
6465
 
6466
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6467
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6468
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6469
        --Dir=$Pinc
6470
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6471
 
6472
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6473
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6474
    Windows platform.
6475
 
6476
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6477
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6478
            by 'purecov.
6479
 
6480
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6481
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6482
 
6483
        - OPTIONS=purify
6484
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6485
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6486
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6487

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6491
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6492
Major changes:
6493
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6494
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6495
    Example:
6496
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6497
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6498
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6499
 
6500
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6501
    been determined.
6502
 
6503
Minor changes:
6504
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6505
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6506
    located at build-time.
6507
 
6508
  * Unix based systems
6509
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6510
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6511
 
6512
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6513
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6514
    driver being built.
6515

    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6530
 
6531
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6532
    dependancy information within a package.
6533
 
6534
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6535
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6545
 
6546
    GenerateFiles.
6547
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6548
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6549
                      be run on every invocation.
6550
 
6551
 
6552

6557
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6558
  There are two mechanism:
6559
 
6560
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6561
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6562
 
6563
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6564
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6565
 
6566
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6567
  default.

6576
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6577
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6578
    It is based on machine type.
6579
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6580
 
6581
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6582
 
6583
Minor changes:
6584

6595
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6596
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6607
    field separator.
6608
 
6609
  * JATS eprog command
6610
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6611
 
6612
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6613
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6614
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6615
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6616
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6617
 
6618
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6619
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6620
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6621
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6622
 
6623
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6624
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6636
 
6637
 
6638
Minor changes:
6639
  * JATS wrapper script
6640
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6641
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6642
    to setup links to system programs.
6643

6665
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6666
        no_misalign         - Default
6667
 
6668
        multithread         - Default
6669
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking

6682
        debug_debuginfo
6683
 
6684
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6685
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6686
    Theses are:
6687
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6688
        SOLARIS_AMD
6689
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6690
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6691
 
6692
Minor changes:
6693
  * AT3232 toolset
6694
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6695
 
6696
  * Jats build

Major changes:
6704
 
6705
Minor changes:
6706
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6707
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6708
    messages
6709
 
6710
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6711
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6712
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6713
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6714

6718
Major changes:
6719
 
6720
Minor changes:
6721
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6722
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6723
    library without creating the body of the library:
6724
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6725
 
6726
 
6727
  * MOS toolsets
6728
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6729
    library without creating the body of the library:
6730
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6731
 
6732
  * JATS BIN directories
6733
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6734
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6735
    using autoconf.
6736
 
6737
  * Generate directive
6738
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6739
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6740
 
6741
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6742

6756
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6757
Major changes:
6758
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6759
    Initial release.
6760
 
6761
  * Packaging directives
6762
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6763
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6764
 
6765
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6766
        SOLARIS
6767
        WIN32
6768
 
6769
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6770
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6771
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6772
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6773
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6774
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6775
 
6776
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6777
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6778
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6779
 
6780
 
6781
Minor changes:
6782
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6783
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6784
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6785
 
6786
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6787
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6788
    location
6789
 
6790
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6791
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6792
 
6793
  * Utility genrc
6794
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6795
 
6796
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6797
    Added option: -new
6798
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6799
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6800
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6801
 
6802
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6803
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6804
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6805
 
6806
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6807
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6808
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6809
 
6810
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6811
   features - in a uniform manner.
6812
 
6813
 
6814
Internal Changes:
6815
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6816
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6817
 
6818
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6819
        1) Platform information available at build time
6820
        2) Dynamic platform names
6821
 
6822
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6823
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6824
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6825
 
6826
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6827
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6828
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6829
 
6830
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6831
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6832
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6833
    needed.
6834
 
6835
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6836
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6837
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6838
    files from all of these.
6839

6841
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

6843
Major changes:
6844
 
6845
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6850
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6852
Major changes:
6853
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6854
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6855
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6856
 
6857
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6858
 
6859
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6860
    the operations.
6861
 
6862
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6863
 
6864
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6865
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6866
 
6867
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6868
 
6869
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6870
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6871
 
6872

6884
 
6885
Minor changes:
6886
  * JATS wrapper script
6887
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6888
    the command line.
6889
 
6890
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6891
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6892
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6893
 
6894
Internal Changes:
6895
  * Common Error Reporting
6896
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6897
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6898
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6899
    level.
6900
 
6901
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6902
    displayed.

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

Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7285
Major changes:
7286
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7287
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7288
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7289
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7290
    being manually maintained.
7291
 
7292
 
7293
Minor changes:
7294
  * MakeAnt directive
7295
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7296
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7297
    supports ANT builds.
7298
 
7299
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7300
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7301
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7302
 
7303
  * Label utility
7304
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7305
    files to be labeled.
7306
 
7307
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7308
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7309
    on Solaris.
7310
 
7311
  * Generated makefiles
7312
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7313
    nothing.
7314
 
7315
  * MOS Toolset
7316
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7317
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7318
    modules.
7319
 
7320
  * Utility: gen_cots
7321
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7322
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7323
 
7324
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7325
 
7326
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7327
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7328

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7330
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7331
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7332
Major changes:
7333
  None
7334
 
7335
Minor changes:
7336
  * DEVI addressed
7337
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7338
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7339
 
7340
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7341
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7342
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7343
 
7344
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7345
 
7346
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7347
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7348
 
7349
  * RunTest directive
7350
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7351
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7352
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7353
 
7354
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7355
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7356
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7357
    packaged under JATS
7358
 
7359
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7360
          supported within JATS.
7361
 
7362
  * Jats utility wrapper
7363
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7364
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7365
 
7366
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7367
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7368
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7369
 
7370
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7371
    Eg: jats ant
7372
 
7373
  * Jats utility wrapper
7374
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7375
 
5710 dpurdie 7376
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7377
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7378
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7379
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7380
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7381
 
5710 dpurdie 7382
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7383
    expect a build.pl file.
7384
 
7385
  * Jats utility wrapper
7386
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7387
 
7388
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7389
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7390
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7391
 
7392
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7393
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7394
 
7395
  * Build files
7396
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7397
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7398

7400
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7401
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7402
Major changes:
7403
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7404
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7405
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7406
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7407
 
7408
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7409
 
7410
Minor changes:
7411
  * None
7412
 
7413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7414
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7415
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7416
Major changes:
7417
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7418
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7419
    ie:
7420
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7421
 
7422
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7423
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7424
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7425
    environments are compatible.
7426
 
7427
 
7428
Minor changes:
7429
  * BuildName option
7430
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7431
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7432
 
7433
  * jats.bat
7434
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7435
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7436
 
7437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7438
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7439
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7440
Major changes:
7441
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7442
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7443
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7444
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7445
 
7446
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7447
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7448
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7449
 
7450
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7451
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7452
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7453
 
7454
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7455
    transferred.
7456
 
7457
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7458
    See notes below.
7459
 
7460
  * WIN32 toolset
7461
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7462
    correctly.
7463
 
7464
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7465
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7466
 
7467
  * BuildVersion
7468
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7469
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7470
    other langauges as needed.
7471
 
7472
 
7473
Minor changes:
7474
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7475
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7476
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7477
    version strings.
7478
 
7479
  * GenerateFiles directive
7480
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7481
    package or an imported package.
7482
 
7483
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7484
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7485
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7486
 
7487
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7488
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7489
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7490
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7491
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7492
 
7493
Internal Changes
7494
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7495
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7496
    of utilities.
7497
 
7498
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7499
    functions.
7500
 
7501
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7502
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7503
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7504
Major changes:
7505
  * Generated makefiles
7506
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7507
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7508
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7509
 
7510
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7511
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7512
    incorrectly processing:
7513
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7514
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7515
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7516
    confused.
7517
 
7518
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7519
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7520
    The construct
7521
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7522
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7523
    then it works.
7524
 
7525
  * MakeAnt directive
7526
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7527
 
7528
    This option has the following effects
7529
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7530
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7531
 
7532
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7533
           early - in the generated files phase.
7534
 
7535
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7536
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7537
 
7538
 
7539
Minor changes:
7540
  * JATS post-installation script
7541
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7542
 
7543
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7544
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7545
    windows.
7546
 
7547
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7548
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7549
 
7550
  * Jats wrapper script
7551
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7552
        1) Contain spaces
7553
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7554
 
7555
  * Toolset
7556
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7557
 
7558
  * JAVA toolset
7559
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7560
    directive:
7561
 
7562
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7563
 
7564
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7565
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7566
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7567
 
7568
  * GCC Toolset
7569
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7570
 
7571
  * Makefile generation
7572
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7573
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7574
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7575
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7576
    package could not be used.
7577
 
7578
  * Unit Tests
7579
    The following environment variables are set:
7580
 
7581
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7582
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7583
 
7584
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7585
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7586
 
7587
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7588
 
7589
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7590
 
7591
 
7592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7593
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7594
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7595
Major changes:
7596
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7597
 
7598
    Special features of this toolset.
7599
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7600
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7601
       incorporated within the target image.
7602
 
7603
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7604
       --Set=Name=Value
7605
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7606
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7607
 
7608
       --Ref=name
7609
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7610
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7611
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7612
                will be taken from the build version number.
7613
 
7614
Minor changes:
7615
  * MOS Toolset
7616
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7617
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7618
    packaged.
7619
 
7620
  * Src directive
7621
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7622
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7623
    specifier.
7624
 
7625
  * WIN32 runtime support
7626
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7627
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7628
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7629
 
7630
Internal:
7631
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7632
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7633
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7634
 
7635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7636
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7638
Major changes:
7639
    * BuildAlias directive
7640
      Added options.
7641
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7642
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7643
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7644
                          targets.
7645
      Eg:
7646
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7647
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7648
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7649
 
7650
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7651
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7652
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7653
 
7654
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7655
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7656
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7657
 
7658
 
7659
Minor changes:
7660
  * Label utility
7661
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7662
    build.pl file
7663
 
7664
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7665
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7666
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7667
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7668
    --FilterIn option.
7669
 
7670
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7671
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7672
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7673
 
7674
  * Location of descpkg file
7675
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7676
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7677
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7678
 
7679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7680
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7682
Major changes:
7683
  * RunTest directive
7684
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7685
    Additional options
7686
      --CopyIn=file
7687
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7688
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7689
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7690
        the test area.
7691
 
7692
    Additional operations
7693
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7694
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7695
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7696
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7697
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7698
    Allows flags:
7699
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7700
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7701
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7702
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7703
 
7704
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7705
    existence is tested.
7706
 
7707
  * Packaging Directives
7708
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7709
    such as LMOS.
7710
 
7711
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7712
 
7713
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7714
 
7715
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7716
 
7717
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7718
 
7719
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7720
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7721
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7722
 
7723
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7724
 
7725
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7726
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7727
 
7728
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7729
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7730
 
7731
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7732
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7733
 
7734
Minor changes:
7735
  * Script directive
7736
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7737
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7738
 
7739
  * JATS environment
7740
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7741
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7742
    the JATS wrapper script.
7743
 
7744
  * Label utility
7745
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7746
    There are three modes of operation:
7747
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7748
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7749
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7750

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7753
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7754
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7755
Major changes:
7756
 
7757
Minor changes:
7758
  * label utility
7759
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7760
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7761
 
7762
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7763
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7764
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7765
      --ProgLoader=name
7766
 
7767
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7768
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7769
    Options to do this are:
7770
        --TreeDir=name
7771
        --FilterOut=regexp
7772
        --FilterIn=regexp
7773
        --StripDir
7774
 
7775
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7776
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7777
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7778
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7779
 
7780
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7781
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7782
 
7783
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7784
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7785
 
7786
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7787
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7788
 
7789
 
7790
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7791
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7792
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7793
Major changes:
7794
    * Make commands
7795
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7796
 
7797
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7798
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7799
 
7800
    * Label utility
7801
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7802
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7803
 
7804
Minor changes:
7805
    * Toolsets
7806
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7807
      variables and overrides.
7808
 
7809
      The make_init target is always run.
7810
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7811
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7812
 
7813
    * Deployment
7814
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7815
      with deployment operations.
7816
 
7817
    * Release utility
7818
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7819
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7820
      restricted by options within the build.
7821
 
7822
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7823
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7824
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7825
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7826
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7827
 
7828
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7829
      directives.
7830
 
7831
    * MakeProject directive
7832
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7833
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7834
 
7835
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7836
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7837
      is preserved.
7838
 
7839
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7840
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7841
      statements.
7842
 
7843
    * Mugfile generation
7844
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7845
      be placed in the target package.
7846
 
7847
 
7848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7849
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7851
Major changes:
7852
    * BuildVersion directive
7853
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7854
      number as well as a patch number.
7855
 
7856
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7857
      number.
7858
 
7859
Minor changes:
7860
    * AddFlags directives
7861
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7862
      duplicate flags being added.
7863
 
7864
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7865
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7866
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7867
 
7868
    * Mug File Generation
7869
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7870
 
7871
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7872
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7873
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7874
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7875
     directory.
7876
 
7877
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7878
     reproducible.
7879

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7881
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7883
Major changes:
7884
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7885
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7886
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7887
      longer a list of directories.
7888
 
7889
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7890
      done within the toolset.
7891
 
7892
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7893
 
7894
    * JATS environment variables
7895
      Redefined variable
7896
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7897
                          Previously was a list that included the
7898
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7899
 
7900
      New variable
7901
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7902
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7903
 
7904
 
7905
Minor changes:
7906
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7907
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7908
      target platforms to be extracted.
7909
 
7910
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7911
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7912
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7913
 
7914
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7915
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7916
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7917
 
7918
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7919
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7920
 
7921
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7922
      Support ANT based XML files
7923
 
7924
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7925
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7926
      structure.
7927
 
7928
    * makefile.pl's
7929
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7930
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7931
 
7932
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7933
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7934
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7935
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7936
 
7937
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7938
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7939
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7940
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7941
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7942
      -- Auto.
7943
 
7944
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7945
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7946
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7947
 
7948
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7949
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7950
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7951
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7952
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7953
 
7954
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7955
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7956
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7957
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7958
      installed on the machine.
7959
 
7960
    * WINCE Targets
7961
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7962
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7963
 
7964
 
7965

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7967
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7969
Major changes:
7970
    * WIN32 platforms
7971
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7972
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7973
      and installed packages.
7974
 
7975
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7976
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7977
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7978
 
7979
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7980
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7981
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7982
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7983
      searched when looking for libraries.
7984
 
7985
Minor changes:
7986
    * GenerateFiles directive
7987
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7988
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7989
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7990
                          and drive letter
7991
 
7992
    * Src directive
7993
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
7994
      directory of a package.
7995
 
7996
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
7997
 
7998
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
7999
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8000
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8001
 
8002
    * jats_rewrite utility
8003
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8004
 
8005
 
8006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8007
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8009
Major changes:
8010
    * SunWorks production builds
8011
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8012
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8013
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8014
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8015
      compiler documentation.
8016
 
8017
    * MOS Toolset
8018
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8019
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8020
 
8021
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8022
 
8023
Minor changes:
8024
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8025
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8026
      This should not affect current users.
8027
 
8028
    * Mugfile generation
8029
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8030
      specified.
8031
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8032

Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
8035
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8036
Major changes:
8037
    MOS Toolset
8038
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8039
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8040
 
8041
Minor changes:
8042
    * Jats wrapper script
8043
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8044
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8045
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8046
 
8047
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8048
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8049
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8050
      may be suspect.
8051
 
8052
    * GenerateFiles directive
8053
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8054
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8055
 
8056
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8057
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8058
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8059
Major changes:
8060
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8061
      build.xml files.
8062
 
8063
Minor changes:
8064
    * WIN32 toolset.
8065
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8066
 
8067
    * MakeAnt
8068
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8069
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8070
 
8071
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8072
 
8073
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8074
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8075
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8076
 
8077
    * MakeAnt directive
8078
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8079
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8080
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8081
 
8082
      Recommended usage:
8083
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8084
 
8085
Internal Changes
8086
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
8087

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8092
Major changes:
8093
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8094
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8095
      files packaged into the release.

8101
 
8102
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8103
      The recommended platform is:
8104
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8105
 
8106
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8107
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8108
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8109
      components.

8115
 
8116
Minor changes:
8117
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8118
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8119
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8120
      by the package to be accessed.
8121
 
8122
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8123
      application or visual studio.
8124
 
8125
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8126
      and the JATS Core path.
8127
 
8128
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8129
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8130
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8131
 
8132
    * MOS Toolset
8133
      Add support for the TPT device
8134
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8135
 
8136
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8137
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8138
 
8139
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8140
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8141
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8142
 
8143
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8144
 
8145
Internal Changes
8146
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8147
      in jats.pl
8148
 
8149
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8150
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8151
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8152
Major changes:
8153
    * JATS wrapper script
8154
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8155
 
8156
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8157
 
8158
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8159
 
8160
Minor changes:
8161
    * Deployment support
8162
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8163
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8164
 
8165
    * 'build'
8166
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8167
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8168
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8169
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8170
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8171
 
8172
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8173
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8174
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8175
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8176
                                      the link phase.
8177
 
8178
    * BuildPkgArchive
8179
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8180
      Previously these were ignored.
8181
      Minor code cleanup
8182
 
8183
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8184
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8185
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8186
 
8187
    * SOLARIS targets
8188
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8189
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8190
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8191
 
8192
    * MugFile generation
8193
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8194
      included in the final package.
8195
 
8196
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8197
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8198
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8199
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8200
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8201
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8202
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8203
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8204
 
8205
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8206
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8207
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8208
            --Option=(some_text)
8209
            --Option=[some_text]
8210
            --Option={some_text}
8211
 
8212
Internal Changes
8213
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8214
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8215
      code.
8216
 
8217
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8218
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8219
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8220
Major changes:
8221
    * JATS wrapper script
8222
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8223
 
8224
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8225
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8226
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8227
      other components.
8228
 
8229
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8230
 
8231
    * JATS
8232
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8233
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8234
 
8235
    * Build operations
8236
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8237
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8238
      packages.
8239
 
8240
    * Make operations
8241
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8242
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8243
 
8244
Minor changes:
8245
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8246
      deployment builds.
8247
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8248
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8249
 
8250
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8251
 
8252
    * build.pl
8253
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8254
        processed. Allows
8255
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8256
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8257
        production.
8258
 
8259
    * MOS toolset
8260
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8261
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8262
 
8263
    * create_dpkg utility
8264
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8265
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8266
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8267
      progress of the build.
8268
 
8269
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8270
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8271
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8272
      system.
8273
 
8274
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8275
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8276
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8277
Major changes:
8278
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8279
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8280
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8281
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8282
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8283
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8284
 
8285
    * WCEX86A500 target
8286
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8287
 
8288
    * MOS Toolsets
8289
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8290
      the compiler.
8291
 
8292
    * RunTest directive
8293
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8294
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8295
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8296
 
8297
Minor changes:
8298
    * JATS BUILD
8299
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8300
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8301
      highlight bad settings.
8302
 
8303
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8304
      access to extensions.
8305
 
8306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8307
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8308
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8309
Major changes:
8310
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8311
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8312
 
8313
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8314
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8315
      under unix.
8316
 
8317
Minor changes:
8318
    * label utility
8319
      Added options to:
8320
        o Delete a label
8321
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8322
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8323
 
8324
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8325
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8326
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8327
      Package directives.
8328
 
8329
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8330
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8331
      system.
8332
 
8333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8334
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8336
Major changes:
8337
    * MOS Toolset
8338
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8339
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8340
 
8341
    * WIN32 Toolset
8342
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8343
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8344
      list.
8345
 
8346
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8347
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8348
 
8349
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8350
 
8351
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8352
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8353
 
8354
 
8355
Minor changes:
8356
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8357
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8358
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8359
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8360
      corrected.
8361
 
8362
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8363
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8364
 
8365
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8366
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8367
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8368
 
8369
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8370
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8371
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8372
Major changes:
8373
    * WIN32 Toolset
8374
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8375
      use with multithreaded modes.
8376
 
8377
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8378
      --OnlyProd.
8379
 
8380
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8381
      within the makefile.pl.
8382
 
8383
Minor changes:
8384
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8385
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8386
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8387
      platforms.
8388
 
8389
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8390
 
8391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8392
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8393
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8394
Major changes:
8395
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8396
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8397
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8398
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8399
 
8400
    * Preliminary Support
8401
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8402
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8403
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8404
 
8405
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8406
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8407
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8408
 
8409
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8410
      building. The default build will build both.
8411
 
8412
Minor changes:
8413
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8414
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8415
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8416
 
8417
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8418
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8419
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8420
 
8421
 
8422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8423
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8425
Major changes:
8426
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8427
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8428
      or all.
8429
 
8430
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8431
      the library or program.
8432
 
8433
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8434
 
8435
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8436
      library or any debug files.
8437
 
8438
    * GenerateFiles
8439
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8440
 
8441
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8442
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8443
 
8444
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8445
              The filename of the prereq file
8446
 
8447
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8448
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8449
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8450
 
8451
 
8452
Minor changes:
8453
    * create_dpkg utility
8454
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8455
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8456
      the package has been altered.
8457
 
8458
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8459
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8460
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8461
Major changes:
8462
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8463
      This is a WINCE target
8464
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8465
 
8466
    * New toolset
8467
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8468
 
8469
    * Modified toolset
8470
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8471
 
8472
    * Modified toolset
8473
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8474
 
8475
Minor changes:
8476
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8477
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8478
 
8479
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8480
 
8481
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8482
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8483
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8484
 
8485
      The change allows the construct
8486
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8487
      to be replaced by the simpler
8488
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8489
 
8490
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8491

Version: JATS_2.20.0                                Released: 12-Apr-05
8511
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8512
Major changes:
8513
    * The "package.pl" file.
8514
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8515
      package name being taken from the build name
8516
 
8517
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8518
      package Build Name.
8519
 
8520
Minor changes:
8521
    * create_dpkg utility
8522
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8523
 
8524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8525

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

8886
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8887
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.

Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8893
Major changes:
8894
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8895
 
8896
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8897
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8898
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8899
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8900
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8901
 
8902
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8903
      operations.
8904
 
8905
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8906
 
8907
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8908
 
8909
Minor changes
8910
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8911
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8912
 
8913
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8914
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8915
      directory is not added to the library path.
8916
 
8917
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8918
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8919
 
8920
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8921
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8922
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8923
 
8924
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8925
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8926
      specific flags.
8927
 
8928
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8929
 
8930
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8931
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8932
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8933
 
8934
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8935
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8936
      JATS.
8937
 
8938
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8939
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8940
 
8941
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8942
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8943
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8944
 
8945
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8946
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8947
 
8948
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8949
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8950
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8951
 
8952
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8953
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8954
 
8955
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8956
 
8957
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8958
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8959
 
8960
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8961
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8962
      objects.
8963
 
8964
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8965
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8966
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8967
      build defendants.
