        separated list. The colon seperated list will aviod parsing 
773
        confusion.
774
 
775
        The following all have the same effect:
776
            BuildPlatforms ('P1', '--Uses=P2:P3' );
777
            BuildPlatforms ('P1', '--Uses=P2,P3' );

            BuildPlatforms ('P1,--Uses=P2:P3' );
779
            BuildPlatforms ('P1','--Uses=P2', '--Uses=P3' );
780
 
781
       The folling will not:
782
            BuildPlatforms ('P1,--Uses=P2,P3' );
783
 
784
    * Utility: sandbox
785

      Exclude .svn sub directories.
956
 
957
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
958
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
959
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
960
      build errors.
961
 
962
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
963
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
964
 
965
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
966
      Shorthand for
967
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
968
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
969
 
970
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
971
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
972
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
973
      Examples: 
974
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
975
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
976
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
977
 
978
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
979
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
980
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
981
 
982
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
983
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
984
      build system.
985
 
986
Experimental:
987
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
988
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
989
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
995
 
996
Minor changes:
997
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
998
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
999
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

1003
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1004
 
1005
Minor changes:
1006
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
1007
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1008
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1009
 
1010
    * Build Files
1011
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1012
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1013
 
1014
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1015
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1016
 
1017
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1018
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1019
 
1020
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1021
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1022
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1023
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1024
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1025
 
1026
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1027
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1028
     different architectures.
1029
 
1030
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1031
     are directed to one or more machines.
1032
 
1033
     Intended uses:
1034
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1035
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1036
 
1037
       All: Specialized packaging.
1038
 
1039
    * Makefiles
1040
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1041
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1042
      Eg:
1043
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1044
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1045
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1046
      It could also have been written as:
1047
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1048
      but NOT as:
1049
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1050
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1051
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1052
 
1053
    * Utility: sandbox
1054
      Subcommand info 
1055
        - Added option to test fingerprints

    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.
1064
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
1065
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1066
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1067
 
1068
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1069
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1070
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1071
 
1072
    * GenerateFiles directive
1073
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

1093
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1094
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1095
 
1096
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1097
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1098
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1099
      machine may build the toolset.
1100
 
1101
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1102
      platform.

1120
      It is not used.
1121
 
1122
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
1123
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1124
 
1125
    * Utility: escrow
1126
      Added -skim option
1127
 
1128
    * Utility: sandbox
1129
      Many improvements:
1130
        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required
1131
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1132
 
1133
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1134
 
1135
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1136
        if an error is detected.
1137
 
1138
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1139
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1140
 
1141
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1142
        skipped during the build.
1143
 
1144
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

1149
 
1150
Minor changes:
1151
    * New build Alias - TOOLSET
1152
      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 
1153
      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.
1154
 
1155
      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support
1156
      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.

    * JATS Wrapper
1164
      Changes to the package location library to allow JATS to locate
1165
      build files in very deep directory trees. Windows path limits
1166
      were causing some issues.

5109 dpurdie 1855
Major changes:
1856
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1857
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1858
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1859
 
1860
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1861
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1862
      duplicates corrected.
1863
 
1864
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1865
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1866
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1867
 
1868
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1869
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1870
      displayed at the end of the build process.

2064
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
2065
 
2066
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
2067
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

Minor changes:
2098
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2099
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2100
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2101
 
2102
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2103
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2104
 
2105
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2106
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
2108
 
2109
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
2397
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2398
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2399
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2400
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2401
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2402
 
2403
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2404

2415
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2416

2431
Major changes:
2432
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2433
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2434
      intended to build deployed software.
2435
 
2436
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2437
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2438
 
2439
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2440
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2441
 
2442
Minor changes:
2443
    * Jats wrapper script
2444
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2445
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2446
      Subversion instance of the command.
2447
 
2448
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2449
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2450
 
2451
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2452

2459
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2460
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2461
 
2462
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2463
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2464
 
2465
    * GCC Toolchain
2466
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

Major changes:
2483
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2484
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2485
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2486
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2487
 
2488
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2489
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

    * Utility: jats sandbox
2501
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2502
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2503
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2504
      line.
2505
 
2506
    * Jats Configuration

2531
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract

      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2544
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2545
 
2546
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2547
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2548
      the named tag.
2549
 
2550
    * svnrelease utility
2551
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2552
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

    * Subversion Extraction
2584
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2585
      directory of the tag.
2586

2588
      repository.
2589
 
2590
    * Subversion Support
2591
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2592
      showing the user what to do.
2593
 
2594
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2595
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2596
      we have build support for this target.
2597
 
2598
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2599
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.

2618
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2619
Major changes:
2620
 
2621
Minor changes:
2622
    * Makefile generation
2623
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2624
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2625
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2626
      of warnings.
2627
 
2628
    * Makefile Generation
2629
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2630

2429 dpurdie 2637
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2638
Major changes:
2639
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2640
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2641
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2642
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2643
 
2644
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2645
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2646
      windows path scheme.
2647
 
2648
Minor changes:
2649
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2650
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2651
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2652
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2653
 
2654
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2655
        jats make clobber
2656
      This operates as before.
2657
 
2658
    * Utility: escrow
2659
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2660
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2661
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2662
 
2663
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2664
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2665
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2666
 
2667
    * Utility: svn : url
2668
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2669
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2670
 
2671
    * Utility: svn : import
2672
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2673
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2674
 
2675
    * Subversion Support
2676
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2677
      showing the user what to do.
2678
 
2679
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2680
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2681
      repositories.

2686
 
2687
Minor changes:
2688
    * Jats build
2689
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2690
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2691
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2692
 
2693
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2694
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2695

2706
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2707
                 Can also display available branches.
2708
 
2054 dpurdie 2709
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2715
 
2716
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2717
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2718
      Modified two options:
2719
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2720
                        The named branch must not exist
2721
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2722
                        The named branch must exist
2723
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2732
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2733
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2734
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2757
 
2758
Major changes:
2759
    * Jats Version Number
2760
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2761
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2762
      significantly.
2763
 
2764

Major changes:
2775
    * Subversion support

      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2777
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2778
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2779
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2780
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2781
 
2782
Minor changes:
2783
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2784
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2785
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2786
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2787
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2788
 
2789
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2790
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2791
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2792
 
2793
    * Linux support utilities
2794
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2795

2805
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2806
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

2808
 
2809
Minor changes:
2810
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2811
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2812
 
2813
    * Utility: svnrelease
2814
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2815
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2816
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2817
 
2818
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2819
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2820
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2821
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2822
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2823
 
2824
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2825
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2826
 
2827
    * Utility: sandbox
2828
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2829
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2830
 
2831
      Subcommand: populate
2832
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2833
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2834
      sandbox.
2835
 
2836
    * Subversion Support
2837
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2838
      repository is not supported.
2839
 
2840
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2841
      a progress indication.
2842
 
2843
    * Jats Online Documentation
2844
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2845
      online documentation.
2846
 
2847
    * Generated makefiles
2848
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2928
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2929
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2930
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2931
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2932
 
2933
    * C# Toolchain

2946
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2947
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2948
 
2949
    * Utility ccrelease
2950
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2951
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2952
 
2953
    * Utility: svn
2954
      Improved package import processing.
2955
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

2982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2983
Major changes:
2984
 
2985
Minor changes:
2986
    * Command: jats clobber
2987
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
2988
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
2989
 
2990
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
2991
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
2992
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
2993
 
2994
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
2995
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
2996
 
377 dpurdie 2997
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
2998
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
2999
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 3000
 
3001
    * jats svnlabel
3002
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
3003
 
3004
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
3005
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
3006
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
3007
 
3008
    * Built Daemon support
3009
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3010
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
3011

3014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3015
Major changes:
3016
    * GCC Toolset
3017
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3018
      New methodology is:
3019
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3020
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3021
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3022
        as the main binary.
3023
 
3024
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3025
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3026
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3027
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3028
      both worlds.
3029
 
3030
Minor changes:
3031
    * HTML Documentation
3032
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

Major changes:
3043
    * Jats Sandbox
3044
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3045
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3046
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3047
 
3048
    * RIORDS Platform
3049

3072
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3073
 
3074
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3075
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3076
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3077
      a vob.
3078
 
3079
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

3159
 
3160
Minor changes:
3161
    * HTML Help
3162
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3163
 
3164
    * jats build -noforce
3165
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3166
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3167
      be forced.
3168
 
3169
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3170
 
3171
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3172
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3173
 
3174
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3175
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3176
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3177
 
3178
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3179
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3180
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3181
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3182
 
3183
    * Utility: svnrelease
3184
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3185
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3186
 
3187
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3188
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3189
 
3190
    * Utility: svn
3191
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3192
      installed and can be used.
3193
 
3194
    * Toolset: CSharp
3195
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3196
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3197
      character.
3198
 
3199
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3200
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3201
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3202
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3203
      masking an error.
3204
 
3205
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3206
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3207
      enhancement.
3208
 
3209
    * Toolset: dafbr
3210
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3211
 
3212
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3213
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3214
        - Return correct path to package
3215
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3216
 
3217
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3218
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3219
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3220
 
3221
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3222
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3223
      packages.
3224
 
3225
    * make command: show
3226
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3227
      'jats make show' command.
3228
 
3229
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3230
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3231
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3232
 
3233
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3234
      executed on Unix machines.

3269
      the server by name, rather than IP address: 'frbesasvn01'
3270
 
3271
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3272
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3273
 
3274
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3275
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3276
      developers.

3295
      New sub command - populate. Beta Release of this command
3296
      This sub command can be used to populate a sandbox with a specific package
3297
      and (optionally) its dependents, that (optionally) are not available
3298
      in a package archive.
3299
 
3300
      Sub command: create
3301
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
3302
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
3303
      package version.
3304
 
3305
      Command specific help
3306
      Each sub command now has its own help.

3456
      New option: --NoToolSet
3457
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3458
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3459
 
3460
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3461
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3462
      need toolset specific information.
3463
 
3464
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3465
 
3466
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

3472
 
3473
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3474
      a ClearCase site.

3593
 
3594
Minor changes:
3595
    * Jats label command
3596
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3597
      Not recommended for general use.
3598
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3599
      directories within the current view.
3600
 
3601
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3602
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3603
      elsewhere.
3604
 
3605
    * Jats save_build
3606
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3607
      the determination of a branch.
3608
 
3609
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3610
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3611
 
3612
    * Jats build
3613
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3614
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3615
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3616
 
3617
    * Borland6 toolset
3618
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3619
      to match the documented install location of:
3620
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3621
 
3622
    * Jats build
3623
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3624
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3625
      This is a very quick operation.
3626
 
3627
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3628
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3629
 
3630
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3631
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3632
      files are only recreated if need be.
3633
 
3634
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3635
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3636
      make the package.
3637
 
3638
    * Jats sandbox
3639
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3640
 
3641
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3642
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3643
 
3644
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3645
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3646
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3647
      is performed.
3648
 
3649
Internal:

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3687
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3688
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3689
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3690
 
3691
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3692
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3693
 
3694
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3695
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi

    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3718
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3719
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3720
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3721
 
3722
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a

    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3734
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3735
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3736
 
3737
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3738
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.

321 dpurdie 3747
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3748
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3749
Major changes:
3750
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3751
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3752
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3753
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3754
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3755
      stream.
3756
 
3757
      Example:
3758
 
3759
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3760
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3761
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3762
                     );
3763
Minor changes:
3764
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3765
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3766
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3767
      directive.
3768
 
3769
    * GCC Toolkit
3770
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3771
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3772
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3773
      the point of termination.
3774
 
3775
    * Jats save_build utility
3776
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3777
      under windows.
3778
 
3779
    * Jats sandbox
3780
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3781
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3782
      in different sandboxes.
3783
 
3784
    * Jats release
3785
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3786

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
3789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3790
Major changes:
3791
 
3792
Minor changes:
3793
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3794
      Added -locatedir=name
3795
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3796
      directory.
3797
 
3798
    * jats label utility
3799
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3800
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3801
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3802
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3803
 
3804
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3805
 
3806

317 dpurdie 3807
Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 3808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3809
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3810
 
3811
Minor changes:
3812
    * WinCe Toolsets
3813
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3814
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3815
        noExceptions            - Disable
3816
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3817
      Example:
3818
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3819
 
3820
    * Solaris targets
3821
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3822
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3823
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3824
      machine type.
3825
 
3826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3827
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3828
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3829
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3830
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3831
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3832
      project files.
3833
 
3834
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3835
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3836
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3837
 
3838
Minor changes:
3839
    * Added more internal documentation
3840
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3841
 
3842
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3843
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3844
 
3845
    * Jats save_build utility
3846
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3847
      under windows.
3848
 
3849
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3850
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3851
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3852
      libraries.
3853
 
3854
    * Solaris builds
3855
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3856
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3857
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3858
      of the build failure.
3859
 
3860
 
3861
Internal changes:
3862
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3863
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3864
 
3865
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3866
      PkgArchive topics.

3870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3871
Major changes:
3872
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3873
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3874
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3875
      existing 32-bit builds.
3876
 
3877
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3878
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3879
 
3880
Minor changes:
3881
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3882
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3883
 
3884
    * Package searching
3885
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3886
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3887
 
3888
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3889
 
3890
    * jats help
3891
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3892
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3893
 
3894
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3895
      with one of:
3896
        jats -h
3897
        jats help jats
3898
 
3899
Internal:
3900
    * cmdfile utility
3901
      Added macros:
3902
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3903
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3904
 
3905
      Corrected
3906
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3907
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3908
 
3909
      Extended
3910
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3911
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3912
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3913
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Major changes:
3919
 
3920
Minor changes:
3921
 
3922
Internal changes
3923
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3924
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3925
      Useful side effects include:
3926
 
3927
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3928
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3929
 
3930
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3931
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3932
 
3933
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3934
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3935
        BuildPkgArchive
3936
 
313 dpurdie 3937
    * Perl Modules
3938
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3939
      release. This will:
3940
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3941
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3942
          reported by ERG.
3943
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3948
Major changes:
3949
 
3950
Minor changes:
3951
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3952
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3953
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3954
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3955
 
3956
    * Jats label utility
3957
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3958
 
3959
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3960
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3961
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3962
 
3963
    * Jats core
3964
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3965
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3966
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3974
    * CSHARP toolset
3975
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3976
      This is now fixed.
3977
 
309 dpurdie 3978
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3979
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 3980
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 3981
 
3982
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
3983
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
3984
 
3985

3990
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 3991
    * Generating makefiles
3992
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 3993
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 3994
      an error.
3995
 
3996
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 3997
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 3998
 
3999
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 4000
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 4001
      Refer the JATS Manual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4006
Major changes:
4007
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4008
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4009
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4010
 
4011
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4012
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4013
 
4014
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4015
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4016
      Support includes
4017
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4018
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4019
 
4020
Minor changes:
4021
    * Build file processing
4022
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4023
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4024
 
4025
    * MOS builds
4026
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4027
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4028
 
4029
    * MOS builds
4030
      New 'known' product: PICP
4031
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4032
 
4033
    * GenerateFiles directive
4034
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4035
        under windows.
4036
 
4037
        .
4038
 
4039
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4040
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4041
 
4042
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4043
      to the output stream.
4044
 
4045
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4046
 
4047
    * Windows Shell
4048
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4049
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4050
 
4051
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4052
 
4053
    * H8S toolset
4054
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4055
 
4056
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4057
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4058
 
4059
Internal changes
4060
    * WinCe builds
4061
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4062
      content of the file.
4063
 
4064
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4065
 
4066
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4067
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4079
Major changes:
4080
 
4081
Minor changes:
4082
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4083
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4084
      Changes are transparent to users.
4085
 
4086
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4087
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4088
      this occurs.
4089
 
4090
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4091
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4092
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4093
      automated build framework.
4094
 
4095
    * jats sandbox command
4096
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4097
      'create' command.
4098
 
4099
    * jats command aliases. Added
4100
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4101
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4102

289 dpurdie 4170
Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
4171
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4172
Major changes:
4173
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4174
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4175
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4176
 
4177
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4178
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4179
 
4180
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4181
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4182
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4183
           names cannot be changed.
4184
 
4185
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4186
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4187
 
4188
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4189
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4190
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4191
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4192
 
4193
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4194
      file.
4195
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4196
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4197
      MyPackage.dpk.
4198
 
4199
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4200
      file.
4201
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4202
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4203
      MyDll.dpr.
4204
 
4205
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4206
      file.
4207
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4208
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4209
      MyProg.dpr.
4210
 
4211
Minor changes:
4212
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4213
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4214
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4215
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4216
 
4217
    * BuildVersion directive
4218
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4219
      in a Delphi Unit.
4220
 
4221
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4222
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4223
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4224
      'know' the location of the files.
4225
 
4226
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4227
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4228
 
4229
Internal Changes:
4230
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4231
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4232
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4233
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4234
 
4235
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4236
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4237
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4238

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4241
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4242
Major changes:
4243
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4244
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4245
      information for purely C++ builds.
4246
 
289 dpurdie 4247
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4248
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4249
 
289 dpurdie 4250
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4251
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4252
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4253
 
4254
Minor changes:
4255
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4256
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4257
 
4258
    * updatenodespec utility
4259
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4260
      Manager database.

4284
 
4285
Minor changes:
4286
    * MergeLibrary directive
4287

4295
 
4296
Minor changes:
4297
    * New command: jats make show
4298
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4299
      used in the build.
4300
 
4301
    * Escrow command
4302
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4303
 
4304
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4305
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4306
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4307
 
4308
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4309
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4310
 
4311

279 dpurdie 4312

277 dpurdie 4313
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4314
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4315
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4316
 
279 dpurdie 4317
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4318
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4319
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4320
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4321
 
4322
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4323
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4324
 
4325
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4326
 
4327
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4328
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4329
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4330
 
4331
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4332
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4333
        processed.
4334
 
4335
      Removed the '-delete' option
4336
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4337
 
277 dpurdie 4338
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4339
    * Sandbox command
4340
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4341
 
4342
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4343
      target from consideration in the build set.
4344
 
4345
    * MCR Toolset
4346
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4347
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4348
 
4349
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4350
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4351
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4352
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4353
 
4354
    * Jats run_test command
4355
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4356
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4357
 
4358
    * descpkg file
4359
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4360
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4361
 
4362
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4363
     Now contains build trace information
4364
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4365
 
4366
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4367
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4368
     it contains 'jar' files.
4369
 
4370
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4371
 
4372
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4373
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4374
 
4375
   * BuildVersion directive
4376
     Form:
4377
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4378
     now works as expected.
4379
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4380
 
4381
Internal Changes:
4382
 
4383
    * Error reporting mechanism
4384
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4385
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4386
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4396
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4397
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4398
    then starts.
4399
 
4400
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4401
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4402
 
4403
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4404
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4405
    non-platform option.
4406
 
279 dpurdie 4407
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4419
 
4420
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
4421
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4422
 
4423
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4424
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4425
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4426
 
4427
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4428
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4429
 
4430
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4431
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4432
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4433
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
4434
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4435
 
4436
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
4437
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4438
      to the invoked application.
4439
 
4440
Internal Changes:
4441
    * JatsCopy Package

      Added class to read in the parsed makefile.pl data for the current
4447
      build target.
4448
 
4449
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
4450

4472
        Wildcard correctly supports the [0-9] construct
4473
 
4474
Internal Changes:
4475
    * Environment
4476
      Export EnvVar GBE_HOSTMACH
4477
      This is the same as GBE_MACHTYPE, but it is not modified by legacy

4546
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4547
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4548

4571
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4572
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4573
 
4574
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4667
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4668
      programs.
4669
 
4670
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.

4740
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4741
      Previously was being done at two places
4742
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4743
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4744
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.
4745
 
4746
    * JATS make: Command line
4747
      Removed the use of the un used "VERBOSE=1" operation
4748

4820
 
4821
      New platforms:
4822
        CSHARP2005
4823
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4824
         Support extends to allow:
4825
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4826
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4827
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4828
 
4829
        VS2005
4830
         Support extends to allow:
4831
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4832
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4833
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4834
 
4835
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4836
      through a version selector:
4837
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4838
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4839
 
4840
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4841
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4842
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4843
 
4844
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4845
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4846
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4847
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4848
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4849
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4850
          under VS2005.
4851
 
4852
Minor changes:
4853
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
4858
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4859
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4860
 
4861
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4862
 
4863
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4864
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4865
 
4866
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4867
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4868
      a minimal value of perl.
4869
 
4870
      Removed excessive require statements.
4871
 
4872

      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4879
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4880
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4881
      machines.
4882
 
4883
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4884
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4885
 
4886
    * JATS Environment
4887
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4888
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4889
 
4890
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4891
      wrapper scripts.
4892
 
4893
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4894
      Correct problem with location of build files.

4924
      was added.
4925

Version:  2.75.0000.cr                               Released: 07-May-08
4947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4948
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4949
  * New toolset and platform
4950
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4951
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4952
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4953
    this platform.
4954
 
4955
Minor changes:
4956
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4957
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4958
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4959
    work.
4960
 
4961
  * Jats utility: release
4962
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4963
    published to dpkg_archive.
4964
 
249 dpurdie 4965
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4966
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4967
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4968
    supported for ANT builds.
4969
 
4970
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4971
        releasemanager.releasename
4972
        releasemanager.projectname
4973
 
4974
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4975
    tagged data item of the form
4976
 
4977
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4978
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4979
 
4980
  * Mug File Generation
4981
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
4982
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
4983
 
4984
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
4985
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
4986
    required.
4987
 
4988
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
4989
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
4990
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
4991
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
4992
    the files in order to use them.
4993
 
4994
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
4995
    locate the file.
4996
 
4997
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
4998
    to ensure backward compatibility.
4999
 
5000
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
5001
        * CSharp
5002
        * Properties
5003
        * WinRC
5004
 
5005
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
5006
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
5007
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5008
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5013
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5014
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5015
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5016
 
5017
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5018
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5019
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5020
 
5021
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5022
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5023
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5024
 
5025
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5026
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5027
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5028
 
5029
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5030
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5031
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5032
    correct.
5033
 
5034
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5035
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5036
 
5037
Minor changes:
5038
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5039
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5040
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5041
 
5042
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5043
    This will simplify new user setup.
5044
 
5045
  * All Unix Toolsets
5046
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5047
    on unix systems
5048
 
5049
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5050
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5051
    on some Solaris Machines.
5052
 
5053
  * JATS -version=<version>
5054
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5055
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

5106
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
5107
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5108
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5109
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5276
 
5277
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5278
 
5279
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5280
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5281
 
5282
    * Running Jats
5283
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5284
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5285
      This may affect some windows developers.
5286
 
5287
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5288
      Future versions will generate an error.
5289
 
5290
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5291
 
5292
Minor changes:
5293
    * Perl Version Check
5294
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5295
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5296
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5297
 
5298
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5299
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5300
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5301
      build.
5302
 
5303
    * Jats Internals
5304
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5305
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5306
 
5307
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5308
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5309
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5310
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5311
      process.
5312
 
5313
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5314
      Only works under Windows.
5315
 
5316
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5317
 
5318
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5319
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5320
 
5321
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5322
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5323
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5324
 
5325
    * Jats eprog
5326
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5327
      directory.
5328
 
5329
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5330
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5331
      build metrics.
5332

Version: 2.71.6.cr                                Released: 18-Dec-07
5335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5336
Major changes:
5337
 
5338
Minor changes:
5339
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5340
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5341
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5342
      automated build system. New options are:
5343
        -pname=Package_Name
5344
        -pversion=Package_Version
5345
 
5346
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5347
      transferring the package. New options are:
5348
        -test
5349
 
5350
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5351
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5352
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5353
 
5354
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5355
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5356
 
5357
    * Solaris Toolset
5358
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5359
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5360
      programs are still supported.
5361

5364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5365
Major changes:
5366
 
5367
Minor changes:
5368
    * WINCE toolsets
5369
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5370
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5371
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5372
      when header files cannot be found.
5373
 
5374
    * GenerateFiles directive
5375
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5376
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5377
      that are difficult to solve.
5378
 
5379
    * MakePerlModule directive
5380
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5381
      to the the module builder.
5382
 
5383
    * Jats Tool: label
5384
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5385
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5386
      -dirs=xxx options.
5387
 
5388
    * Jats Tool: release
5389
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5390
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5391
 
5392
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5393
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5394
 
5395
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5396
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5397
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5398
 
5399
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5405
Major changes:
5406
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5407
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5408
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5409
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5410
 
5411
Minor changes:
5412
    * label utility
5413
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5414
 
5415
    * make package and install operations
5416
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5417
      transfer.
5418
 
5419
    * make clean up
5420
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5421
 
5422
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5423
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5424
      minor file transformations such as:
5425
        Copy, with optional rename
5426
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5427
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5428
 
5429
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5430
 
5431
    * jats release utility
5432
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5433
      in place.
5434
 
5435
    * escrow utility
5436
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5437
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

5442
Major changes:
5443
 
5444
Minor changes:
5445
    * Makefile generation
5446
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5447
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5448
      generate phase early.
5449
 
5450
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5451
Version: 2.71.2.cr                                Released: 09-Nov-07
5452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5453
Major changes:
5454
 
5455
Minor changes:
5456
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5457
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5458
 
5459
    * Makefile generation
5460
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5461
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5462
 
5463
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5464
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5465
 
5466
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5467
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5468
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5469
 
5470
    * jats_rewrite utility
5471
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5472
 
5473
    * jats escrow utility
5474
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5475
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5476
 
5477
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5478
      inconsistent packages.
5479
 
5480
    * jats make help
5481
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5482
      available within the current build.
5483
 
5484
    * jats makefiles
5485
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5486
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5487
 
5488
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5489
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5490
 
5491
    * gcc toolset
5492
      SharedLibries.
5493
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5494
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5495
 
5496
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5497
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5498
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5499
 
5500
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5501
        New options:
5502
            --MultiScan
5503
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5504
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5505
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5511
Major changes:
5512
 
5513
Minor changes:
5514
    PackageLib directive
5515
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5516
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5517
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5518
 
5519
    MakefileGenerate directive
5520
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5521
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5522
 
5523
    Multiple Parent detection
5524
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5525
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5526
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5527
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5528
 
5529
    Solaris Toolset
5530
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5531
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5532
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5533
    link.
5534
 
5535
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5536
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5537
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5538
 
5539
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5540
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5541
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5542
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5547
Major changes:
5548
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5549
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5550
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5551
 
5552
    Summary of changes:
5553
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5554
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5555
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5556
          flexibility.
5557
 
5558
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5559
 
5560
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5561
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5562
          interface directory and associated build information.
5563
 
5564
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5565
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5566
          than one second.
5567
 
5568
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5569
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5570
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5571
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5572
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5573
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5574
 
5575
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5576
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5577
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5578
 
5579
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5580
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5581
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5582
          building them.
5583
 
5584
        - Detection of build file changes
5585
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5586
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5587
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5588
 
5589
        - Quieter make output
5590
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5591
 
5592
 
5593
Minor changes:
5594
    MakeAnt Directive
5595
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5596
 
5597
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5598
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5599
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5600
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5601
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5602
 
5603
    CSHARP toolset
5604
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5605

Minor changes:
5612
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5613
    are generated.
5614
 
5615
    MakeAnt
5616
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5617
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5618
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5619
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5620
 
5621
    MCR platform
5622
    Create '.mod' files from the generated THX files.

5630
Minor changes:
5631
    MakeAnt directive extended
5632
    New option: --PackageBase
5633
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5634
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5635
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5636
 
5637
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5638
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5639
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5640
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5660
 
5661
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5662
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5663
 
5664
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5665
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5666
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5667
 
5668
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5669

Minor changes:
5699
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5700
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5701
 
5702
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5703
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5704
      last.
5705
 
5706
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5707
 
5708
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5709
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5710
 
5711
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5712
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5713
 
5714
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5715
 
5716
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5717
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5718
 
5719
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5720
 
5721
 
5722
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5723
           with the --System option
5724
 
5725
    * LMOS target platform

5731
Major changes:
5732
 
5733
Minor changes:
5734
    * Solaris Toolset
5735
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5736
      dependent packages.
5737
 
5738
    * RunTest operation
5739
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5740
 
5741
    * Csharp toolkit
5742
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

5746
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5747
Major changes:
5748
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5749
 
5750
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5751
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5752
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5753
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5754
      path.
5755
 
5756
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5757
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5758
      reproducible.
5759
 
5760
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5761
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5762
 
5763
      There are several aspects to the change
5764
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5765
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5766
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5767
 
5768
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5769
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5770
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5771
          controlled separately.
5772
 
5773
Minor changes:
5774
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5775
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5776
        Remove duplicates
5777
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5778

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5781
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5782
Major changes:
5783
 
5784
Minor changes:
5785
    * Makefile sanity test
5786
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5787
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5788
 
5789
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5790
      x86 machine.
5791
 
5792
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5793
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5794
 
5795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5796
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5797
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5798
Major changes:
5799
    * RunTest directive
5800
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5801
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5802
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5803
 
5804
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5805
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5806
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5807
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5808
 
5809
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5810
        builder within the current toolset.
5811
 
5812
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5813
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5814
 
5815
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5816
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5817
      containing the RunTest directive.
5818
 
5819
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5820
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5821
 
5822
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5823
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5824
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5825
 
5826
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5827
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5828
                            P or D suffix.
5829
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5830
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5831
 
5832
Minor changes:
5833
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5834
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5835
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5836
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5837
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5838
 
5839
    * Save Build Utility
5840
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5841
      used in a ripple build.
5842
 
5843
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5844
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5845
 
5846
    * Release Utility
5847
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5848
      when an error is encountered.
5849
 
5850
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5851
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5852
 
5853
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5854
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5855
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5856
 
5857
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5858
      before the makefiles are created.
5859
 
5860
    * TestProg directive
5861
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5862
 
5863
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5864
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5865

5869
Major changes:
5870
    * New build target
5871
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5872
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5873
 
5874
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5875
            DEVLINUX
5876
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5877
 
5878
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5879
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5880
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5881
 
5882
Minor changes:
5883
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5884
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5885
 
5886
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5887
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5888
 
5889
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5890
      and .cs files.
5891
 
5892
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5893
      thing.
5894
 
5895
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5896
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5897
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5898
      were it places temp files.
5899
 
5900
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5901
      interaction with other builds.
5902
 
5903
    * Release utility command
5904
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5905
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5906
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5967
  * Deployment
5968
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5969
 
5970
  * build.pl
5971
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5972
 
5973
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5974
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5975
 
5976
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5977
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5978
    build.
5979
 
5980
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
5981
 
5982
  * Tool: escrow
5983
     New features

     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
5985
     are not in the SBOM.
5986
 
5987
     Prune "patch" package versions.

5994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5995
Major changes:
5996
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
5997
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
5998
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
5999
 
6000
  * GenerateFiles
6001
    Added the options:
6002
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
6003
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
6004
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
6005
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
6006
 
6007
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
6008
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
6009
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
6010
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
6011
                                  required.
6012
 
6013
 
6014
Minor changes:
6015
  * GenerateFile directive
6016
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
6017
 
6018
  * GCC Toolset
6019
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
6020
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
6021
    be rebuilt.
6022
 
6023
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
6024
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
6025
 
6026

6029
Major changes:
6030
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
6031
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
6032
    environment variables.
6033
 
6034
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6035
            moved.
6036
 
6037
    This will affect users that:
6038
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6039
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6040
 
6041
        2) Use the ABT system
6042
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6043
           the required configuration
6044
 
6045
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6046
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6047
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.

6060
  * New build platforms
6061
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6062
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6063
 
6064
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6065
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6066
 
6067
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6068
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6069
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6070
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6071
 
6072
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6073
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6074
    release.
6075
 
6076
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6077
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6078
 
6079
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6080
    need to be converted.
6081
 
6082
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6083
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6084
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6085
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6086
    used for different targets platforms.
6087
 
6088
  * Sandbox support
6089
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6090
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6091
 
6092
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6093
 
6094
Minor changes:
6095
 
6096
 
6097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6098
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6100
Major changes:
6101
  * MakeAnt directive
6102
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6103
 
6104
    New options
6105
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6106
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6107
 
6108
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6109
    run_unit_tests phase.
6110
 
6111
  * Sandbox support
6112
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6113
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6114
 
6115
Minor changes:
6116
  * jats build
6117
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6118
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6119
 
6120
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6121
 
6122
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6123
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6124
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6125
 
6126
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6127
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6128
 
6129
  * JATS.BAT
6130
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6131
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6132
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6133
 
6134
  * jats label
6135
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6136
 
6137
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6138
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6139
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6140
Major changes:
6141
  * New build platform:
6142
        LMOS_TP5600
6143
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6144
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6145
 
6146
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6147
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6148
    describe the group of platforms.
6149
 
6150
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6151
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6152
    build these targets.
6153
 
6154
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6155
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6156
 
6157
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6158
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6159
 
6160
  * New build platform: WINCE
6161
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6162
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6163
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6164
 
6165
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6166
            WCEIT3000
6167
            WCEPA961
6168
            WCEPA962
6169
            WCEPCM7220
6170
            WCEPSION_420
6171
            WCEPSPC_arm
6172
            WCEPSPC_emu
6173
            WCEX86A420
6174
            WCEX86A500
6175
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6176
 
6177
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6178
 
6179
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6180
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6181
    that contain packaging directives.
6182
 
6183
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6184
    very unusual configurations.
6185
 
6186
Minor changes:
6187
  * Directive: PackageFile
6188
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6189
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6190
    an '='.
6191
 
6192
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6193
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6194
 
6195
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6196
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6197
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6198
 
6199
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6200
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6201
 
6202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6203
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6204
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6205
Major changes:
6206
 
6207
  * JATS release command
6208
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6209
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6210
 
6211
    Rules are:
6212
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6213
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6214
                            File will be placed on a branch
6215
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6216
                            New directory will branch
6217
 
6218
Minor changes:
6219
  * JATS release command
6220
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6221
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6222
 
6223
  * JATS label command
6224
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6225
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6226
 
6227
  * JATS make
6228
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6229
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6230
    was re-packaged.
6231
 
6232
  * JATS escrow
6233
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6234
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6235
 
6236
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6237
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6238
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6239
 
6240
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6241
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6242
    interface directory.
6243
 
6244
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6245
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6246
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6247
    directory as seen by the package.
6248
 
6249
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6250
 
6251
  * JAVA 6
6252
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6253
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6254
 
6255
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6256
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6257
 
6258
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6259
 
6260
  * Jats command: vars
6261
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6262
    These indicate potential problems.
6263
 
6264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6265
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6267
Major changes:
6268
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6269
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6270
    libarry is also created.
6271
 
6272
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6273
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6274
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6275
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6276
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6277
    information contained within the file.
6278
 
6279
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6280
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6281
 
6282
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6283
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6284
 
6285
  * Building Perl Modules
6286
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6287
    documentation on the build machine.
6288
 
6289
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6290
 
6291
Minor changes:
6292
  * jats create_dpkg
6293
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6294
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6295
 
6296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6297
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6298
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6299
Major changes:
6300
  * JATS JAVA build target
6301
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6302
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6303
 
6304
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6305
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6306
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6307
    is then picked up as the default version.
6308
 
6309
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6310
    build.pl file.
6311
 
6312
Minor changes:
6313
  * jats release
6314
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6315
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6316
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6317
 
6318
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6319
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6320
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6321
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6322
    the name of the view.
6323
 
6324
  * GenerateFiles directive
6325
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6326
 
6327
  * MOS Toolset
6328
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6329
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6330
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6331
 
6332
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6333
 
6334
 
6335
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6336
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6338
Major changes:
6339
 
6340
Minor changes:
6341
  * JATS environment
6342
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6343
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6344
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6345
 
6346
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6347
 
6348
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6349
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6350
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6351
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6352
    to be packaged.
6353
 
6354
  * Generated makefiles
6355
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6356
 
6357
  * Generating MOS THX files
6358
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6359
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6360
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6361
 
6362
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6363
 
6364
  * JATS release
6365
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6366
 
6367
  * JATS extract
6368
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6369
 
6370
  * JATS Toolset
6371
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6372
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6373
 
6374
 
6375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6376
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6378
Major changes:
6379
 
6380
Minor changes:
6381
  * jats label
6382
    Added a -vob=name option
6383
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6384
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6385
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6386
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6387
 
6388
    Added a -user=name option
6389
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6390
    label to the named user.
6391
 
6392
  * jats release
6393
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6394
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6395
 
6396
  * JATS build.pl
6397
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6398
    ie:
6399
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6400

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6403
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6404
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6405
Major changes:
6406
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6407
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6408
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6409
    the makefile internals. ie:
6410
        --Var(BuildName)
6411
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6412
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6413
 
6414
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6415
 
6416
  * GenerateFiles
6417
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6418
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6419
 
6420
  * BuildPlatforms
6421
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6422
 
6423
Minor changes:
6424
  * GCC Toolset
6425
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6426
 
6427
Internal changes:
6428
  * GenerateFiles
6429
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6430
 
6431
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6432
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6433
 
6434
 
6435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6436
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6438
Major changes:
6439
  * Caching JATS
6440
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6441
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6442
 
6443
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6444
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6445
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6446
 
6447
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6448
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6449
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6450
 
6451
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6452
 
6453
Minor changes:
6454
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6455
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6456
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6457
 
6458
  * jats build
6459
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6460
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6461
    processed by the build.
6462
 
6463
  * jats build
6464
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6465
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6466
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6467
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6468
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6469
 
6470
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6471
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6472
    Path is not specified.
6473
 
6474
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6475
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6476
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6477
        --Dir=$Pinc
6478
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6479
 
6480
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6481
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6482
    Windows platform.
6483
 
6484
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6485
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6486
            by 'purecov.
6487
 
6488
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6489
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6490
 
6491
        - OPTIONS=purify
6492
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6493
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6494
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

6499
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6500
Major changes:
6501
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6502
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6503
    Example:
6504
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6505
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6506
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6507
 
6508
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6509
    been determined.
6510
 
6511
Minor changes:
6512
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6513
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6514
    located at build-time.
6515
 
6516
  * Unix based systems
6517
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6518
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6519
 
6520
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6521
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6522
    driver being built.
6523

6540
    dependancy information within a package.
6541
 
6542
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6543
    messages.

6551
 
6552
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6553
 
6554
    GenerateFiles.
6555
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6556
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6557
                      be run on every invocation.
6558
 
6559
 
6560
Minor changes:

6563
 
6564
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6565
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6566
  There are two mechanism:
6567
 
6568
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6569
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6570
 
6571
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6572
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6573
 
6574
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6575
  default.
6576
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6577
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

6583
  * SunWorks Toolset
6584
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6585
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6586
    It is based on machine type.
6587
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6588
 
6589
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6590
 
6591
Minor changes:
6592

6600
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6601
Major changes:
6602
  * GCC Toolset
6603
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6604
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6605
    Removed the use of `uname`.
6606
 
6607
  * Added platforms
6608
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6609
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6610
    TP5600_EMU
6611
 
6612
Minor changes:
6613
  * descpkg file reader
6614
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6615
    field separator.
6616
 
6617
  * JATS eprog command
6618
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6619
 
6620
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6621
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6622
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6623
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6624
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6625
 
6626
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6627
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6628
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6629
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6630
 
6631
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6632
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6642
 
6643
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6644
 
6645
 
6646
Minor changes:
6647
  * JATS wrapper script
6648
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6649
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6650
    to setup links to system programs.

6671
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6672
    Added CompileOptions
6673
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6674
        no_misalign         - Default
6675
 
6676
        multithread         - Default
6677
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6678
 
6679
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6680
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6681
 
6682

        debug_debuginfo
6691
 
6692
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6693
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6694
    Theses are:
6695
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6696
        SOLARIS_AMD
6697
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6698
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6699
 
6700
Minor changes:
6701
  * AT3232 toolset
6702
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files

6713
Minor changes:
6714
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6715
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6716
    messages
6717
 
6718
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6719
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6720
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6721
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6722

6726
Major changes:
6727
 
6728
Minor changes:
6729
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6730
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6731
    library without creating the body of the library:
6732
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6733
 
6734
 
6735
  * MOS toolsets
6736
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6737
    library without creating the body of the library:
6738
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6739
 
6740
  * JATS BIN directories
6741
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6742
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6743
    using autoconf.
6744
 
6745
  * Generate directive
6746
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6747
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6748
 
6749
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

6764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6765
Major changes:
6766
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6767
    Initial release.
6768
 
6769
  * Packaging directives
6770
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6771
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6772
 
6773
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6774
        SOLARIS
6775
        WIN32
6776
 
6777
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6778
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6779
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6780
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6781
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6782
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6783
 
6784
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6785
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6786
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6787
 
6788
 
6789
Minor changes:
6790
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6791
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6792
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6793
 
6794
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6795
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6796
    location
6797
 
6798
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6799
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6800
 
6801
  * Utility genrc
6802
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6803
 
6804
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6805
    Added option: -new
6806
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6807
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6808
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6809
 
6810
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6811
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6812
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6813
 
6814
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6815
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6816
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6817
 
6818
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6819
   features - in a uniform manner.
6820
 
6821
 
6822
Internal Changes:
6823
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6824
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6825
 
6826
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6827
        1) Platform information available at build time
6828
        2) Dynamic platform names
6829
 
6830
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6831
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6832
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6833
 
6834
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6835
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6836
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6837
 
6838
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6839
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6840
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6841
    needed.
6842
 
6843
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6844
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6845
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6846
    files from all of these.

Major changes:
6861
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6862
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6863
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6864
 
6865
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6866
 
6867
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6868
    the operations.
6869
 
6870
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6871
 
6872
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6873
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6874
 
6875
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6876
 
6877
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6878
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6879
 
6880
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6881
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6882
    Extended the built-in help
6883
    Added useful error messages
6884
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6885
 
6886
  * WinCE toolset
6887
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6888
 
6889
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6890
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6891
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6892
 
6893
Minor changes:
6894
  * JATS wrapper script
6895
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6896
    the command line.
6897
 
6898
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6899
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6900
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6901
 
6902
Internal Changes:
6903
  * Common Error Reporting
6904
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6905
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6906
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6907
    level.
6908
 
6909
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6910
    displayed.
6911
 
6912
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6913
 
6914
  * Added JatsSystem module
6915
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6916
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6917
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6919
Major changes:
6920
 
6921
Minor changes:
6922
  * BR Compiler toolset
6923
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6924
    .def files to include other files.
6925
 
6926
  * IAR toolset
6927
    Added AT7272 support
6928
 
6929
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6930
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6931
 
6932
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6933
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6935
Major changes:
6936
 
6937
Minor changes:
6938
  * BR Compiler toolset
6939
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6940
    use.
6941
 
6942
 
6943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6944
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6945
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6946
Major changes:
6947
 
6948
Minor changes:
6949
  * Mictotec toolset
6950
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6951
    builds.
6952
 
6953
  * JATS Core
6954
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6955
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6956
    behaviour.
6957
 
6958
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6959
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6960
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6961
Major changes:
6962
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6963
    Deployment package will be affected.
6964
 
6965
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6966
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6967
 
6968
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6969
 
6970
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6971
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6972
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6973
    packages.
6974
 
6975
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6976
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6977
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6978
 
6979
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
6980
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
6981
 
6982
Minor changes:
6983
  * SubDir directive
6984
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
6985
    a directory from two different makefiles.
6986
 
6987
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
6988
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
6989
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
6990
    of the file usage.
6991
 
6992
  * New utility: jats_manifest
6993
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
6994
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
6995
 
6996
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
6997
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
6998
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
6999
 
7000
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
7001
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
7002
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
7003
    will execute a JATS extended command.
7004
 
7005
 
7006
Internal Changes:
7007
  * Code refactor
7008
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
7009
 
7010
  * Deployment utilities
7011
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
7012
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
7013
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
7014
    the module can locate the file.
7015
 
7016
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
7017
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
7018
 
7019
  * JATS core
7020
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
7021
 
7022
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
7023
 
7024
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
7025
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
7026
    through the use of environment variables.
7027
 
7028
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
7029
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
7030
 
7031
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
7032
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
7033
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7034
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7035
 
7036
  * Make environment
7037
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7038
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7039
 
7040
 
7041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7042
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7043
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7044
Major changes:
7045
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7046
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7047
 
7048
 
7049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7050
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7052
 
7053
Not Released.
7054
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7055
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7056
 
7057
 
7058
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7059
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7060
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7061
Major changes:
7062
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7063
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7064
    radically replaced.
7065
 
7066
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7067
    Usage:
7068
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7069
 
7070
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7071
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7072
    this solution:
7073
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7074
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7075
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7076
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7077
 
7078
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7079
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7080
    order to work.
7081
 
7082
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7083
    reduced functionality.
7084
 
7085
 
7086
Minor changes:
7087
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7088
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7089
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7090
 
7091
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7092
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7093
    within the makefiles.
7094
        Options:
7095
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7096
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7097
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7098
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7099
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7100
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7101
        Useage:
7102
 
7103
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7104
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7105
 
7106
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7107
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7108
    is not in the current directory.
7109
 
7110
  * Jats Command: ant'
7111
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7112
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7113
 
7114
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7115
 
7116
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7117
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7118
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7119
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7120
 
7121
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7122
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7123
    Thus
7124
 
7125
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7126
 
7127
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7128
 
7129
 
7130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7131
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7132
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7133
Major changes:
7134
 
7135
Minor changes:
7136
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7137
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7138
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7139
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7140
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7141
 
7142
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7143
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7144
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7145
 
7146
Internal changes:
7147
  * JATS toolsets
7148
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7149
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7150
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7151
 
7152
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7153
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7154
 
7155
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7156
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7158
Major changes:
7159
  * Jats command: etool
7160
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7161
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7162
 
7163
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7164
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7165
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7166
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7167
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7168
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7169
 
7170
Minor changes:
7171
 
7172
 
7173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7174
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7176
Major changes:
7177
  * JATS environment variables
7178
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7179
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7180
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7181
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7182
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7183
 
7184
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7185
              Remote repository
7186
 
7187
    Added GBE_DPLY
7188
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7189
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7190
 
7191
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7192
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7193
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7194
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7195
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7196
 
7197
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7198
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7199
 
7200
 
7201
Minor changes:
7202
  * JATS utility: build
7203
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7204
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7205
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7206
 
7207
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7208
    Ensure label is not locked
7209
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7210
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7211
 
7212
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7213
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7214
    to a specific type of build.
7215
 
7216
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7217
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7218
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7219
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7220
 
7221
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7222
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7223
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7224
 
7225
  * JATS utility: release
7226
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7227
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7228
 
7229
  * JATS utility: label
7230
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7231
    when it is being created.
7232
 
7233
Internal Changes
7234
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7235
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7236
 
7237
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7238
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7239
 
7240
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7241
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7242
    different results.
7243
 
7244
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7245
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7246
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7247
 
7248
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7249
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7251
Major changes:
7252
 
7253
  * MCR toolset
7254
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7255
 
7256
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7257
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7259
Major changes:
7260
  * WIN32 utilities
7261
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7262
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7263
 
7264
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7265
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7266
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7267
 
7268
Minor changes:
7269
  * BuildVersion
7270
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7271
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7272
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7273
 
7274
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7275
 
7276
  * Unix Builds
7277
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7278
    library or a shared library.
7279
 
7280
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7281
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7282
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7283
    start with 'lib'.
7284
 
7285
  * BuildPkgArchive
7286
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7287
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7288
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7289

7291
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7293
Major changes:
7294
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7295
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7296
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7297
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7298
    being manually maintained.
7299
 
7300
 
7301
Minor changes:
7302
  * MakeAnt directive
7303
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7304
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7305
    supports ANT builds.
7306
 
7307
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7308
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7309
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7310
 
7311
  * Label utility
7312
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7313
    files to be labeled.
7314
 
7315
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7316
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7317
    on Solaris.
7318
 
7319
  * Generated makefiles
7320
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7321
    nothing.
7322
 
7323
  * MOS Toolset
7324
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7325
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7326
    modules.
7327
 
7328
  * Utility: gen_cots
7329
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7330
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7331
 
7332
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7333
 
7334
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7335
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7336
 
7337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7338
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7340
Major changes:
7341
  None
7342
 
7343
Minor changes:
7344
  * DEVI addressed
7345
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7346
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7347
 
7348
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7349
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7350
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7351
 
7352
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7353
 
7354
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7355
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7356
 
7357
  * RunTest directive
7358
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7359
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7360
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7361
 
7362
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7363
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7364
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7365
    packaged under JATS
7366
 
7367
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7368
          supported within JATS.
7369
 
7370
  * Jats utility wrapper
7371
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7372
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7373
 
7374
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7375
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7376
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7377
 
7378
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7379
    Eg: jats ant
7380
 
7381
  * Jats utility wrapper
7382
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7383
 
5710 dpurdie 7384
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7385
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7386
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7387
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7388
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7389
 
5710 dpurdie 7390
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7391
    expect a build.pl file.
7392
 
7393
  * Jats utility wrapper
7394
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7395
 
7396
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7397
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7398
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7399
 
7400
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7401
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7402
 
7403
  * Build files
7404
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7405
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7406

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

Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7690
Major changes:
7691
  * RunTest directive
7692
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7693
    Additional options
7694
      --CopyIn=file
7695
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7696
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7697
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7698
        the test area.
7699
 
7700
    Additional operations
7701
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7702
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7703
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7704
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7705
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7706
    Allows flags:
7707
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7708
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7709
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7710
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7711
 
7712
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7713
    existence is tested.
7714
 
7715
  * Packaging Directives
7716
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7717
    such as LMOS.
7718
 
7719
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7720
 
7721
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7722
 
7723
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7724
 
7725
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7726
 
7727
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7728
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7729
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7730
 
7731
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7732
 
7733
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7734
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7735
 
7736
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7737
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7738
 
7739
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7740
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7741
 
7742
Minor changes:
7743
  * Script directive
7744
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7745
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7746
 
7747
  * JATS environment
7748
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7749
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7750
    the JATS wrapper script.
7751
 
7752
  * Label utility
7753
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7754
    There are three modes of operation:
7755
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7756
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7757
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7758
 
7759
 
7760
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7761
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7763
Major changes:
7764
 
7765
Minor changes:
7766
  * label utility
7767
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7768
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7769
 
7770
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7771
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7772
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7773
      --ProgLoader=name
7774
 
7775
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7776
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7777
    Options to do this are:
7778
        --TreeDir=name
7779
        --FilterOut=regexp
7780
        --FilterIn=regexp
7781
        --StripDir
7782
 
7783
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7784
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7785
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7786
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7787
 
7788
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7789
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7790
 
7791
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7792
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7793
 
7794
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7795
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7796
 
7797
 
7798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7799
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7801
Major changes:
7802
    * Make commands
7803
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7804
 
7805
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7806
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7807
 
7808
    * Label utility
7809
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7810
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7811
 
7812
Minor changes:
7813
    * Toolsets
7814
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7815
      variables and overrides.
7816
 
7817
      The make_init target is always run.
7818
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7819
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7820
 
7821
    * Deployment
7822
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7823
      with deployment operations.
7824
 
7825
    * Release utility
7826
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7827
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7828
      restricted by options within the build.
7829
 
7830
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7831
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7832
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7833
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7834
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7835
 
7836
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7837
      directives.
7838
 
7839
    * MakeProject directive
7840
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7841
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7842
 
7843
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7844
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7845
      is preserved.
7846
 
7847
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7848
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7849
      statements.
7850
 
7851
    * Mugfile generation
7852
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7853
      be placed in the target package.
7854
 
7855
 
7856
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7857
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7858
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7859
Major changes:
7860
    * BuildVersion directive
7861
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7862
      number as well as a patch number.
7863
 
7864
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7865
      number.
7866
 
7867
Minor changes:
7868
    * AddFlags directives
7869
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7870
      duplicate flags being added.
7871
 
7872
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7873
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7874
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7875
 
7876
    * Mug File Generation
7877
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7878
 
7879
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7880
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7881
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7882
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7883
     directory.
7884
 
7885
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7886
     reproducible.
7887

7889
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7891
Major changes:
7892
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7893
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7894
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7895
      longer a list of directories.
7896
 
7897
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7898
      done within the toolset.
7899
 
7900
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7901
 
7902
    * JATS environment variables
7903
      Redefined variable
7904
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7905
                          Previously was a list that included the
7906
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7907
 
7908
      New variable
7909
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7910
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7911
 
7912
 
7913
Minor changes:
7914
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7915
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7916
      target platforms to be extracted.
7917
 
7918
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7919
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7920
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7921
 
7922
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7923
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7924
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7925
 
7926
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7927
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7928
 
7929
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7930
      Support ANT based XML files
7931
 
7932
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7933
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7934
      structure.
7935
 
7936
    * makefile.pl's
7937
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7938
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7939
 
7940
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7941
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7942
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7943
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7944
 
7945
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7946
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7947
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7948
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7949
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7950
      -- Auto.
7951
 
7952
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7953
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7954
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7955
 
7956
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7957
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7958
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7959
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7960
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7961
 
7962
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7963
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7964
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7965
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7966
      installed on the machine.
7967
 
7968
    * WINCE Targets
7969
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7970
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7971
 
7972
 
7973
 
7974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7975
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7977
Major changes:
7978
    * WIN32 platforms
7979
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
7980
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
7981
      and installed packages.
7982
 
7983
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
7984
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
7985
      create CV style debug information in the target.
7986
 
7987
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
7988
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
7989
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
7990
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
7991
      searched when looking for libraries.
7992
 
7993
Minor changes:
7994
    * GenerateFiles directive
7995
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
7996
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
7997
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
7998
                          and drive letter
7999
 
8000
    * Src directive
8001
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
8002
      directory of a package.
8003
 
8004
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
8005
 
8006
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
8007
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8008
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8009
 
8010
    * jats_rewrite utility
8011
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8012
 
8013
 
8014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8015
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8016
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8017
Major changes:
8018
    * SunWorks production builds
8019
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8020
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8021
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8022
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8023
      compiler documentation.
8024
 
8025
    * MOS Toolset
8026
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8027
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8028
 
8029
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8030
 
8031
Minor changes:
8032
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8033
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8034
      This should not affect current users.
8035
 
8036
    * Mugfile generation
8037
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8038
      specified.
8039
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8040

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8044
Major changes:
8045
    MOS Toolset
8046
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8047
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8048
 
8049
Minor changes:
8050
    * Jats wrapper script
8051
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8052
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8053
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8054
 
8055
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8056
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8057
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8058
      may be suspect.
8059
 
8060
    * GenerateFiles directive
8061
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8062
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8063
 
8064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8065
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8067
Major changes:
8068
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8069
      build.xml files.
8070
 
8071
Minor changes:
8072
    * WIN32 toolset.
8073
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8074
 
8075
    * MakeAnt
8076
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8077
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8078
 
8079
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8080
 
8081
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8082
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8083
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8084
 
8085
    * MakeAnt directive
8086
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8087
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8088
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8089
 
8090
      Recommended usage:
8091
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8092
 
8093
Internal Changes
8094
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8100
Major changes:
8101
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8102
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8103
      files packaged into the release.
8104
 
8105

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8109
 
8110
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8111
      The recommended platform is:
8112
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8113
 
8114
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8115
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8116
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8117
      components.
8118

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

      This is a WINCE target
8472
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8473
 
8474
    * New toolset
8475
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8476

Minor changes:
8484
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8485
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8486
 
8487
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8488
 
8489
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8490
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8491
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8492
 
8493
      The change allows the construct
8494
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8495
      to be replaced by the simpler
8496
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8497
 
8498
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8499
      specified name.

8519
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8520
Major changes:
8521
    * The "package.pl" file.
8522
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8523
      package name being taken from the build name
8524
 
8525
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8526
      package Build Name.
8527
 
8528
Minor changes:
8529
    * create_dpkg utility
8530
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

8535
Major changes:
8536
 
8537
Minor changes:
8538
    * Dependancy generator
8539
      Correct two common situations
8540
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8541
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8542
           ansi, but is often done.
8543
 
8544
    * GCC toolset
8545
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8546
      being created in the correct place.
8547
 
8548
    * jats "label"
8549
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8550
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8551
 
8552
 
8553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8554
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8556
Major changes:
8557
 
8558
Minor changes:
8559
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8560
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8561
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8562
 
8563
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8564
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8565
 
8566
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8567
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8568
      package was not being transferred.
8569
 
8570
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8571
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8572
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8573
Major changes:
8574
    * Support for solaris_i386
8575
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8576
      binaries for this target.
8577
 
8578
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8579
      with the GCC compiler.
8580
 
8581
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8582
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8583
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8584
 
8585
Minor changes:
8586
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8587
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8588
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8589
 
8590
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8591
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8592
 
8593
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8594
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8595
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8596
Major changes:
8597
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8598
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8599
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8600
 
8601
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8602
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8603
 
8604
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8605
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8606
      with either " or ' characters.
8607
 
8608
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8609
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8610
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8611
 
8612
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8613
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8614
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8615
 
8616
    * Jats wrapper
8617
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8618
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8619
      further commands.
8620
 
8621
Minor changes:
8622
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8623
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8624
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8625
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8626
 
8627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8628
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8630
Major changes:
8631
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8632
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8633
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8634
 
8635
      These options operation affect all components within the
8636
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8637
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8638
 
8639
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8640
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8641
 
8642
Minor changes:
8643
 
8644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8645
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8646
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8647
Major changes:
8648
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8649
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8650
 
8651
Minor changes:
8652
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8653
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8654
 
8655
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8656
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8657
 
8658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8659
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8661
Major changes:
8662
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8663
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8664
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8665
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8666
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8667
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8668
      installed.
8669
 
8670
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8671
      libraries that depend on each other.
8672
 
8673
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8674
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8675
 
8676
Minor changes:
8677
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8678
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8679
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8680
 
8681
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8682
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8683
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8684
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8685
 
8686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8687
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8688
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8689
Major changes:
8690
 
8691
Minor changes:
8692
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8693
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8694
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8695
      file.
8696
 
8697
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8698
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8699
 
8700
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8701
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8702
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8703
 
8704
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8705
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8706
 
8707
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8708
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8709
 
8710
    * WinCE toolsets
8711
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8712
      compiler specific libraries.
8713
 
8714
    * SOLARIS toolset
8715
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8716
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8717
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8718
 
8719
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8720
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8721
      cleaned up.
8722
 
8723
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8724
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8725
 
8726
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8727
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8728
      with either " or ' characters.
8729

8732
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8734
Major changes:
8735
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8736
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8737
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8738
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8739
 
8740
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8741
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8742
 
8743
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8744
      user.
8745
 
8746
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8747
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8748
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8749
 
8750
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8751
      for the   -Gf option.
8752
 
8753
Minor changes:
8754
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8755
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8756
 
8757
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8758
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8759
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8760
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8761
 
8762
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8763
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8765
Major changes:
8766
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8767
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8768
 
8769
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8770
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8771
      data addresses for the board.
8772
 
8773
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8774
 
8775
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8776
 
8777
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8778
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8779
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8780
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8781
         PackageFile
8782
 
8783
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8784
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8785
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8786
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8787
 
8788
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8789
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8790
      to be installed and packaged.
8791
 
8792
Minor changes:
8793
 
8794
    * cache_dpkg utility
8795
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8796
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8797
 
8798
    * label utility
8799
      New option -auto to create and label
8800
 
8801
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8802
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8803
 
8804
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8805
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8806
      directory. ie:
8807
 
8808
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8809
 
8810
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8811
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8812
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8813
 
8814
 
8815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8816
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8818
Major changes:
8819
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8820
 
8821
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8822
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8823
 
8824
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8825
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8826
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8827
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8828
 
8829
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8830
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8831
      compilation.
8832
 
8833
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8834
 
8835
Minor changes:
8836
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8837
      one is being produced.
8838
 
8839
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8840
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8841
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8842
 
8843
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8844
 
8845
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8846
 
8847
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8848
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8849
 
8850
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8851
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8852
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8853
Major changes:
8854
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8855
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8856
 
8857
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8858
 
8859
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8860
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8861
      same directory
8862
 
8863
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8864
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8865
      documenattion.
8866
 
8867
Minor changes:
8868
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8869
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8870
 
8871
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8872
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8873
 
8874
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8875
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8876
 
8877
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8878
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8879
 
8880
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8881
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8882
      be exempt from this test.
8883
 
8884
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8885
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8886
 
8887
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8888
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8889
 
8890
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8891
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8892
      does.
8893
 
8894
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8895
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.

Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8901
Major changes:
8902
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8903
 
8904
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8905
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8906
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8907
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8908
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8909
 
8910
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8911
      operations.
8912
 
8913
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8914
 
8915
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8916
 
8917
Minor changes
8918
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8919
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8920
 
8921
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8922
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8923
      directory is not added to the library path.
8924
 
8925
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8926
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8927
 
8928
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8929
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8930
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8931
 
8932
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8933
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8934
      specific flags.
8935
 
8936
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8937
 
8938
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8939
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8940
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8941
 
8942
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8943
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8944
      JATS.
8945
 
8946
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8947
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8948
 
8949
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8950
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8951
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8952
 
8953
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8954
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8955
 
8956
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8957
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8958
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8959
 
8960
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8961
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8962
 
8963
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8964
 
8965
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8966
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8967
 
8968
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8969
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8970
      objects.
8971
 
8972
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8973
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8974
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8975
      build defendants.
