791
        The --Uses=XXX and --Alias=XXX options support a comma and a colon 
792
        separated list. The colon seperated list will aviod parsing 
793
        confusion.
794

976
 
977
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
978
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
979
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
980
      build errors.
981
 
982
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
983
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
984
 
985
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
986
      Shorthand for
987
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
988
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
989
 
990
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
991
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
992
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
993
      Examples: 
994
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
995
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
996
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
997
 
998
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
999
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
1000
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
1001
 
1002
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1003
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
1004
      build system.
1005
 
1006
Experimental:
1007
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
1008
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
1009
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1015
 
1016
Minor changes:
1017
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
1018
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
1019
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
1020
 
1021

1022
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
1023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1024
 
1025
Minor changes:
1026
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
1027
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1028
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1029
 
1030
    * Build Files
1031
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1032
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1033
 
1034
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1035
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1036
 
1037
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1038
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1039
 
1040
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1041
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1042
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1043
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1044
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1045
 
1046
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1047
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1048
     different architectures.
1049
 
1050
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1051
     are directed to one or more machines.
1052
 
1053
     Intended uses:
1054
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1055
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1056
 
1057
       All: Specialized packaging.
1058
 
1059
    * Makefiles
1060
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1061
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1062
      Eg:
1063
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1064
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1065
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1066
      It could also have been written as:
1067
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1068
      but NOT as:
1069
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1070
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1071
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1072
 
1073
    * Utility: sandbox
1074
      Subcommand info 
1075
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1085
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1086
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1087
 
1088
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1089
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1090
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1091
 
1092
    * GenerateFiles directive
1093
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1114
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1115
 
1116
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1117
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1118
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1119
      machine may build the toolset.
1120
 
1121
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1122
      platform.
1123

1145
    * Utility: escrow
1146
      Added -skim option

1151
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1152
 
1153
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1154
 
1155

        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1159
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1160
 
1161
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1162
        skipped during the build.
1163
 
1164
        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

      Shared libraries, under Unix, are created with one or two symlinks to

1857
        BuildProduct   ( PROD,--Alias=A1', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A2', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A3' );
1858
      Will result in A1 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1 and PROD_PLATFORM2
1859
                     A2 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1
1860
                     A3 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM2
1861
 
1862

Major changes:
1876
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1877
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1878
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1879
 
1880
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1881
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1882
      duplicates corrected.
1883
 
1884
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1885
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1886
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1887
 
1888
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1889
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1890
      displayed at the end of the build process.

2084
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
2085
 
2086
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
2087
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

Minor changes:
2118
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2119
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2120
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2121
 
2122
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2123
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2124
 
2125
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2126
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'

Minor changes:
2417
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2418
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2419
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2420
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2421
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2422
 
2423
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2424

2451
Major changes:
2452
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2453
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2454
      intended to build deployed software.
2455
 
2456
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2457
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2458
 
2459
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2460
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2461
 
2462
Minor changes:
2463
    * Jats wrapper script
2464
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2465
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2466
      Subversion instance of the command.
2467
 
2468
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2469
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2470
 
2471
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2472

      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2480
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2481
 
2482
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2483
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2484
 
2485
    * GCC Toolchain
2486
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

2503
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2504
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2505
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2506
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2507
 
2508
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2509
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2522
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2523
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2524
      line.
2525
 
2526

      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2546
 
2547
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2548
      Used only by the build daemons.
2549
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2550
 
2551
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2552
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2553
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

Major changes:
2559
 
2560
Minor changes:
2561
    * svnrelease utility
2562
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2563
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2564
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2565
 
2566
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2567
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2568
      the named tag.
2569
 
2570
    * svnrelease utility
2571
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2572
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2583
        covered by the makefile.
2584
 
2585
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2586
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2587
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.

2589
    * ALL Toolsets
2590
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2591
 
2592
    * Utility vcsdiff
2593
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2594
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2595
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2603
    * Subversion Extraction
2604
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2605
      directory of the tag.
2606
 
2607
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2608
      repository.
2609
 
2610
    * Subversion Support
2611
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2612
      showing the user what to do.
2613
 
2614
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2615
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2616
      we have build support for this target.
2617
 
2618
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2619
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2620
 
2621
Internal:
2622
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2623
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

Major changes:
2640
 
2641
Minor changes:
2642
    * Makefile generation
2643
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2644
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2645
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2646
      of warnings.
2647
 
2648
    * Makefile Generation
2649
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2650

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2658
Major changes:
2659
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2660
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2661
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2662
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2663
 
2664
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2665
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2666
      windows path scheme.
2667
 
2668
Minor changes:
2669
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2670
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2671
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2672
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2673
 
2674
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2675
        jats make clobber
2676
      This operates as before.
2677
 
2678
    * Utility: escrow
2679
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2680
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2681
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2682
 
2683
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2684
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2685
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2686
 
2687
    * Utility: svn : url
2688
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2689
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2690
 
2691
    * Utility: svn : import
2692
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2693
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2694
 
2695
    * Subversion Support
2696
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2697
      showing the user what to do.
2698
 
2699
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2700
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2701
      repositories.

2706
 
2707
Minor changes:
2708
    * Jats build
2709
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2710
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2711
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2712
 
2713
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2714
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2715

2726
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2727
                 Can also display available branches.
2728
 
2054 dpurdie 2729
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2735
 
2736
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2737
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2738
      Modified two options:
2739
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2740
                        The named branch must not exist
2741
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2742
                        The named branch must exist
2743
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2753
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2754

2778
Major changes:
2779
    * Jats Version Number
2780
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2782
      significantly.

Major changes:
2795
    * Subversion support
2796
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2797
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2798
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2799
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2800
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2801
 
2802
Minor changes:
2803
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2804
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2805
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2806
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2807
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2808
 
2809
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2810
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2811
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2812
 
2813
    * Linux support utilities
2814
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2815
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

2824
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2825
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2826
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2827
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2828
 
2829
Minor changes:
2830
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2831
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2832
 
2833
    * Utility: svnrelease
2834
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2835
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2836
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2837
 
2838
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2839
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2840
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2841
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2842
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2843
 
2844
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2845
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2846
 
2847
    * Utility: sandbox
2848
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2849
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2850
 
2851
      Subcommand: populate
2852
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2853
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2854
      sandbox.
2855
 
2856
    * Subversion Support
2857
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2858
      repository is not supported.
2859
 
2860
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2861
      a progress indication.
2862
 
2863
    * Jats Online Documentation
2864
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2865
      online documentation.
2866
 
2867
    * Generated makefiles
2868
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2945
Major changes:
2946
 
2947
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2948
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2949
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2950
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2951
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2952

2967
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2968
 
2969
    * Utility ccrelease
2970
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2971
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2972
 
2973
    * Utility: svn
2974
      Improved package import processing.
2975
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

3002
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3003
Major changes:
3004
 
3005
Minor changes:
3006
    * Command: jats clobber
3007
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
3008
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
3009
 
3010
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
3011
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
3012
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
3013
 
3014
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
3015
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
3016
 
377 dpurdie 3017
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
3018
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
3019
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 3020
 
3021
    * jats svnlabel
3022
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
3023
 
3024
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
3025
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
3026
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
3027
 
3028
    * Built Daemon support
3029
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3030
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
3031

373 dpurdie 3033
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
3034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3035
Major changes:
3036
    * GCC Toolset
3037
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3038
      New methodology is:
3039
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3040
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3041
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3042
        as the main binary.
3043
 
3044
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3045
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3046
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3047
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3048
      both worlds.
3049
 
3050
Minor changes:
3051
    * HTML Documentation
3052
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
3053
 
3054
Internal changes:
3055
    * Generated makefiles

3061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3062
Major changes:
3063
    * Jats Sandbox
3064
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3065
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3066
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3067
 
3068
    * RIORDS Platform
3069
      Generate output files with the package version embedded in the name
3070

3090
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
3091

3092
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3093
 
3094
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3095
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3096
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3097
      a vob.
3098
 
3099
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
3164
      the clearcase label.
3165

3177
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
3178

3179
 
3180
Minor changes:
3181
    * HTML Help
3182
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3183
 
3184
    * jats build -noforce
3185
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3186
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3187
      be forced.
3188
 
3189
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3190
 
3191
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3192
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3193
 
3194
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3195
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3196
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3197
 
3198
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3199
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3200
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3201
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3202
 
3203
    * Utility: svnrelease
3204
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3205
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3206
 
3207
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3208
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3209
 
3210
    * Utility: svn
3211
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3212
      installed and can be used.
3213
 
3214
    * Toolset: CSharp
3215
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3216
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3217
      character.
3218
 
3219
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3220
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3221
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3222
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3223
      masking an error.
3224
 
3225
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3226
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3227
      enhancement.
3228
 
3229
    * Toolset: dafbr
3230
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3231
 
3232
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3233
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3234
        - Return correct path to package
3235
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3236
 
3237
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3238
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3239
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3240
 
3241
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3242
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3243
      packages.
3244
 
3245
    * make command: show
3246
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3247
      'jats make show' command.
3248
 
3249
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3250
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3251
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3252
 
3253
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3254
      executed on Unix machines.

3290
 
3291
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3292
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3293
 
3294
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3295
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3296
      developers.

3313
 
3314
    * Utility: sandbox
3315
      New sub command - populate. Beta Release of this command
3316
      This sub command can be used to populate a sandbox with a specific package
3317
      and (optionally) its dependents, that (optionally) are not available
3318
      in a package archive.
3319
 
3320
      Sub command: create
3321
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
3322
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
3323
      package version.
3324
 
3325
      Command specific help
3326
      Each sub command now has its own help.

3476
      New option: --NoToolSet
3477
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3478
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3479
 
3480
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3481
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3482
      need toolset specific information.
3483
 
3484
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3485
 
3486
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

3491
      processing into jats.pl
3492
 
3493
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
3494
      a ClearCase site.

Minor changes:
3615
    * Jats label command
3616
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3617
      Not recommended for general use.
3618

3619
      directories within the current view.
3620
 
3621
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3622
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3623
      elsewhere.
3624
 
3625
    * Jats save_build
3626
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3627
      the determination of a branch.
3628
 
3629
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3630
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3631
 
3632
    * Jats build
3633
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3634
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3635
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3636
 
3637
    * Borland6 toolset
3638
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3639
      to match the documented install location of:
3640
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3641
 
3642
    * Jats build
3643
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3644
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3645
      This is a very quick operation.
3646
 
3647
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3648
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3649
 
3650
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3651
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3652
      files are only recreated if need be.
3653
 
3654
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3655
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3656
      make the package.
3657
 
3658
    * Jats sandbox
3659
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3660
 
3661
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3662
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3663
 
3664
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3665
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3666
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3667
      is performed.
3668
 
3669

      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3708
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3709
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3710
 
3711

323 dpurdie 3734
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3736
Major changes:
3737
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3738
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3739
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3740
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3741
 
3742
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3743
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3744
 
3745
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3746
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3747
 
3748
      Examples:
3749
            jats upddep -show
3750
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3751
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3752
 
3753
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3754
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3755
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3756
 
3757
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3758
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3759
 
3760
Minor changes:
3761
 
3762
Internal changes:
3763
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3764
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3767
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3768
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3769
Major changes:
3770
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3771
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3772
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3773
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3774
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3775
      stream.
3776
 
3777
      Example:
3778
 
3779
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3780
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3781
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3782
                     );
3783
Minor changes:
3784
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3785
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3786
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3787
      directive.
3788
 
3789
    * GCC Toolkit
3790
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3791
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3792
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3793
      the point of termination.
3794
 
3795
    * Jats save_build utility
3796
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3797
      under windows.
3798
 
3799
    * Jats sandbox
3800
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3801
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3802
      in different sandboxes.
3803
 
3804
    * Jats release
3805
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3806
 
3807

Version:  2.83.1000.cr                               Released: 04-Feb-10
3809
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3810
Major changes:
3811
 
3812
Minor changes:
3813
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3814
      Added -locatedir=name
3815
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3816
      directory.
3817
 
3818
    * jats label utility
3819
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3820
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3821
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3822
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3823
 
3824
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3825
 
3826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
317 dpurdie 3827
Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 3828
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3829
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3830
 
3831
Minor changes:
3832
    * WinCe Toolsets
3833
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3834
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3835
        noExceptions            - Disable
3836
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3837
      Example:
3838
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3839
 
3840
    * Solaris targets
3841
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3842
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3843
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3844
      machine type.
3845
 
3846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3847
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3849
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3850
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3851
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3852
      project files.
3853
 
3854
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3855
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3856
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3857
 
3858
Minor changes:
3859
    * Added more internal documentation
3860
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3861
 
3862
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3863
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3864
 
3865
    * Jats save_build utility
3866
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3867
      under windows.
3868
 
3869
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3870
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3871
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3872
      libraries.
3873
 
3874
    * Solaris builds
3875
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3876
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3877
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3878
      of the build failure.
3879
 
3880
 
3881
Internal changes:
3882
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3883
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3884
 
3885
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3886
      PkgArchive topics.

3890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3891
Major changes:
3892
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3893
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3894
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3895
      existing 32-bit builds.
3896
 
3897
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3898
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3899
 
3900
Minor changes:
3901
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3902
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3903
 
3904
    * Package searching
3905
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3906
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3907
 
3908
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3909
 
3910
    * jats help
3911
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3912
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3913
 
3914
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3915
      with one of:
3916
        jats -h
3917
        jats help jats
3918
 
3919
Internal:
3920
    * cmdfile utility
3921
      Added macros:
3922
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3923
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3924
 
3925
      Corrected
3926
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3927
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3928
 
3929
      Extended
3930

3931
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3932
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3933
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Major changes:
3939
 
3940
Minor changes:
3941
 
3942
Internal changes
3943
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3944
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3945
      Useful side effects include:
3946
 
3947
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3948
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3949
 
3950
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3951
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3952
 
3953
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3954
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3955
        BuildPkgArchive
3956
 
313 dpurdie 3957
    * Perl Modules
3958
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3959
      release. This will:
3960
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3961
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3962
          reported by ERG.
3963
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3968
Major changes:
3969
 
3970
Minor changes:
3971
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3972
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3973
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3974
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3975
 
3976
    * Jats label utility
3977
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3978
 
3979
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3980
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3981
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3982
 
3983
    * Jats core
3984
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3985
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3986
      used to package ant based builds.

Minor changes:
307 dpurdie 3994
    * CSHARP toolset
3995
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
3996
      This is now fixed.
3997
 
309 dpurdie 3998
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 3999
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 4000
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 4001
 
4002
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4003
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
4004

Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 4011
    * Generating makefiles
4012
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 4013
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 4014
      an error.
4015
 
4016
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 4017
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 4018
 
4019
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 4020
      Highly specialized directive.
305 dpurdie 4021
      Refer the JATS Manual.

4026
Major changes:
4027
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4028
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4029
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4030
 
4031
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4032
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4033
 
4034
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4035
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4036
      Support includes
4037
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4038
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4039
 
4040
Minor changes:
4041
    * Build file processing
4042
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4043
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4044
 
4045
    * MOS builds
4046
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4047
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4048
 
4049
    * MOS builds
4050
      New 'known' product: PICP
4051
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4052
 
4053
    * GenerateFiles directive
4054
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4055
        under windows.
4056
 
4057
        .
4058
 
4059
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4060
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4061
 
4062
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4063
      to the output stream.
4064
 
4065
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4066
 
4067
    * Windows Shell
4068
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4069
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4070
 
4071
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4072
 
4073
    * H8S toolset
4074
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4075
 
4076
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4077
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4078
 
4079
Internal changes
4080
    * WinCe builds
4081
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4082
      content of the file.
4083
 
4084
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4085
 
4086
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4087
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4106
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4107
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4108
      this occurs.
4109
 
4110
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4111
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4112
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4113
      automated build framework.
4114
 
4115
    * jats sandbox command
4116
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4117
      'create' command.
4118
 
4119
    * jats command aliases. Added
4120
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4121
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4122

Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
4191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4192
Major changes:
4193
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4194
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4195
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4196
 
4197
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4198
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4199
 
4200
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4201
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4202
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4203
           names cannot be changed.
4204
 
4205
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4206
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4207
 
4208
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4209
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4210
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4211
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4212
 
4213
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4214
      file.
4215
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4216
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4217
      MyPackage.dpk.
4218
 
4219
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4220
      file.
4221
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4222
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4223
      MyDll.dpr.
4224
 
4225
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4226
      file.
4227
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4228
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4229
      MyProg.dpr.
4230
 
4231
Minor changes:
4232
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4233
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4234
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4235
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4236
 
4237
    * BuildVersion directive
4238
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4239
      in a Delphi Unit.
4240
 
4241
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4242
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4243
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4244
      'know' the location of the files.
4245
 
4246
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4247
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4248
 
4249
Internal Changes:
4250
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4251
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4252
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4253
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4254
 
4255
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4256
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4257
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4258

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4262
Major changes:
4263
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4264
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4265
      information for purely C++ builds.
4266
 
289 dpurdie 4267
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4268
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4269
 
289 dpurdie 4270
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4271
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4272
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4273
 
4274
Minor changes:
4275
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4276
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4277
 
4278
    * updatenodespec utility
4279
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4280
      Manager database.

4293
      Remove warning created during normal operation
4294

      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
4303
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4304
 
4305
Minor changes:
4306
    * MergeLibrary directive
4307
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4308
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4309

Minor changes:
4317
    * New command: jats make show
4318
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4319
      used in the build.
4320
 
4321
    * Escrow command
4322
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4323
 
4324
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4325
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4326
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4327
 
4328
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4329
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4330
 
4331

277 dpurdie 4333
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4334
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4335
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4336
 
279 dpurdie 4337
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4338
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4339
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4340
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4341
 
4342
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4343
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4344
 
4345
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4346
 
4347
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4348
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4349
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4350
 
4351
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4352
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4353
        processed.
4354
 
4355
      Removed the '-delete' option
4356
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4357
 
277 dpurdie 4358
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4359
    * Sandbox command
4360
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4361
 
4362
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4363
      target from consideration in the build set.
4364
 
4365
    * MCR Toolset
4366
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4367
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4368
 
4369
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4370
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4371
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4372
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4373
 
4374
    * Jats run_test command
4375
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4376
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4377
 
4378
    * descpkg file
4379
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4380
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4381
 
4382
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4383
     Now contains build trace information
4384
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4385
 
4386
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4387
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4388
     it contains 'jar' files.
4389
 
4390
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4391
 
4392
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4393
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4394
 
4395
   * BuildVersion directive
4396
     Form:
4397
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4398
     now works as expected.
4399
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4400
 
4401
Internal Changes:
4402
 
4403
    * Error reporting mechanism
4404
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4405
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4406
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4416
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4417
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4418
    then starts.
4419
 
4420
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4421
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4422
 
4423
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4424
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4425
    non-platform option.
4426
 
279 dpurdie 4427
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4440
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
4441
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4442
 
4443
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4444
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4445
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4446
 
4447
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4448
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4449
 
4450
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4451
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4452
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4453

4454
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4455
 
4456
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh

      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4458
      to the invoked application.
4459
 
4460
Internal Changes:

4469
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
4470

4566
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4567
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool

4591
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4592
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4593
 
4594
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4760
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4761
      Previously was being done at two places
4762
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4763
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4764
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.

4825
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4826
 
4827
Minor changes:
4828
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4829
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4840
 
4841
      New platforms:
4842
        CSHARP2005
4843
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4844
         Support extends to allow:
4845
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4846
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4847
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4848
 
4849
        VS2005
4850
         Support extends to allow:
4851
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4852
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4853
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4854
 
4855
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4856
      through a version selector:
4857
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4858
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4859
 
4860
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4861
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4862
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4863
 
4864
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4865
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4866
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4867
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4868
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4869
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4870
          under VS2005.
4871
 
4872
Minor changes:
4873
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4878
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4879
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4880
 
4881
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4882
 
4883
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4884
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4885
 
4886
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4887
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4888
      a minimal value of perl.
4889
 
4890
      Removed excessive require statements.
4891
 
4892
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4893
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4894
      Include JATS specific files for
4895
        1) Windows
4896
        2) Linux
4897
 
4898
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4899
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4900
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4901
      machines.
4902
 
4903
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4904
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4905
 
4906
    * JATS Environment
4907
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4908
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4909
 
4910
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4911
      wrapper scripts.
4912
 
4913
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4914
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4915
      Spell check help and code.

4967
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4968
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4969
  * New toolset and platform
4970
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4971
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4972
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4973
    this platform.
4974
 
4975
Minor changes:
4976
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4977
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4978
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4979
    work.
4980
 
4981
  * Jats utility: release
4982
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4983
    published to dpkg_archive.
4984
 
249 dpurdie 4985
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4986
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4987
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4988
    supported for ANT builds.
4989
 
4990
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4991
        releasemanager.releasename
4992
        releasemanager.projectname
4993
 
4994
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
4995
    tagged data item of the form
4996
 
4997
        releasemanager.releasename = value
4998
        releasemanager.projectname = value
4999
 
5000
  * Mug File Generation
5001
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
5002
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
5003
 
5004
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
5005
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
5006
    required.
5007
 
5008
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
5009
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
5010
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
5011
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
5012
    the files in order to use them.
5013
 
5014
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
5015
    locate the file.
5016
 
5017
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
5018
    to ensure backward compatibility.
5019
 
5020
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
5021
        * CSharp
5022
        * Properties
5023
        * WinRC
5024
 
5025
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
5026
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
5027
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5028
    Value is correctly assigned.

5033
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5034
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5035
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5036
 
5037
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5038
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5039
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5040
 
5041
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5042
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5043
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5044
 
5045
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5046
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5047
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5048
 
5049
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5050
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5051
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5052
    correct.
5053
 
5054
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5055
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5056
 
5057
Minor changes:
5058
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5059
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5060
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5061
 
5062
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5063
    This will simplify new user setup.
5064
 
5065
  * All Unix Toolsets
5066
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5067
    on unix systems
5068
 
5069
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5070
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5071
    on some Solaris Machines.
5072
 
5073
  * JATS -version=<version>
5074
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5075
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

5128
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5129
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or

5281
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5282
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5283
 
5284
    * Jats wrapper
5285
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5286
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

Major changes:

    * Jats Release Mechanism
5293
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5294
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5295
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5296
 
5297
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5298
 
5299
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5300
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5301
 
5302
    * Running Jats
5303
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5304
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5305
      This may affect some windows developers.
5306
 
5307
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5308
      Future versions will generate an error.
5309
 
5310
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5311
 
5312
Minor changes:
5313
    * Perl Version Check
5314
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5315
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5316
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5317
 
5318
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5319
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5320
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5321
      build.
5322
 
5323
    * Jats Internals
5324
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5325
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5326
 
5327
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5328
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5329
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5330
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5331
      process.
5332
 
5333
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5334
      Only works under Windows.
5335
 
5336
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5337
 
5338
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5339
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5340
 
5341
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5342
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5343
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5344
 
5345
    * Jats eprog
5346
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5347
      directory.
5348
 
5349
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5350
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5351
      build metrics.
5352

5356
Major changes:
5357
 
5358
Minor changes:
5359
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5360
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5361
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5362
      automated build system. New options are:
5363
        -pname=Package_Name
5364
        -pversion=Package_Version
5365
 
5366
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5367
      transferring the package. New options are:
5368
        -test
5369
 
5370
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5371
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5372
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5373
 
5374
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5375
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5376
 
5377
    * Solaris Toolset
5378
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5379
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5380
      programs are still supported.

5385
Major changes:
5386
 
5387
Minor changes:
5388
    * WINCE toolsets
5389
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5390
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5391
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5392
      when header files cannot be found.
5393
 
5394
    * GenerateFiles directive
5395
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5396
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5397
      that are difficult to solve.
5398
 
5399
    * MakePerlModule directive
5400
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5401
      to the the module builder.
5402
 
5403
    * Jats Tool: label
5404
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5405
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5406
      -dirs=xxx options.
5407
 
5408
    * Jats Tool: release
5409
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5410
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5411
 
5412
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5413
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5414
 
5415
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5416
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5417
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5418
 
5419
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5425
Major changes:
5426
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5427
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5428
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5429
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5430
 
5431
Minor changes:
5432
    * label utility
5433
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5434
 
5435
    * make package and install operations
5436
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5437
      transfer.
5438
 
5439
    * make clean up
5440
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5441
 
5442
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5443
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5444
      minor file transformations such as:
5445
        Copy, with optional rename
5446
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5447
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5448
 
5449
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5450
 
5451
    * jats release utility
5452
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5453
      in place.
5454
 
5455
    * escrow utility
5456
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5457
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

5464
Minor changes:
5465
    * Makefile generation
5466
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5467
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5468
      generate phase early.

5473
Major changes:
5474
 
5475
Minor changes:
5476
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5477
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5478
 
5479
    * Makefile generation
5480
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5481
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5482
 
5483
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5484
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5485
 
5486
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5487
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5488
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5489
 
5490
    * jats_rewrite utility
5491
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5492
 
5493
    * jats escrow utility
5494
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5495
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5496
 
5497
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5498
      inconsistent packages.
5499
 
5500
    * jats make help
5501
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5502
      available within the current build.
5503
 
5504
    * jats makefiles
5505
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5506
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5507
 
5508
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5509
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5510
 
5511
    * gcc toolset
5512
      SharedLibries.
5513
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5514
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5515
 
5516
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5517
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5518
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5519
 
5520
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5521
        New options:
5522
            --MultiScan
5523
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5524
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5525
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5531
Major changes:
5532
 
5533
Minor changes:
5534
    PackageLib directive
5535
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5536
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5537
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5538
 
5539
    MakefileGenerate directive
5540
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5541
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5542
 
5543
    Multiple Parent detection
5544
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5545
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5546
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5547
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5548
 
5549
    Solaris Toolset
5550
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5551
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5552
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5553
    link.
5554
 
5555
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5556
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5557
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5558
 
5559
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5560
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5561
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5562
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5567
Major changes:
5568
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5569
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5570
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5571
 
5572
    Summary of changes:
5573
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5574
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5575
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5576
          flexibility.
5577
 
5578
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5579
 
5580
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5581
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5582
          interface directory and associated build information.
5583
 
5584
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5585
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5586
          than one second.
5587
 
5588
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5589
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5590
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5591
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5592
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5593
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5594
 
5595
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5596
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5597
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5598
 
5599
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5600
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5601
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5602
          building them.
5603
 
5604
        - Detection of build file changes
5605
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5606
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5607
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5608
 
5609
        - Quieter make output
5610
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5611
 
5612
 
5613
Minor changes:
5614
    MakeAnt Directive
5615
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5616
 
5617
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5618
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5619
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5620
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5621
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5622
 
5623
    CSHARP toolset
5624
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5625

Minor changes:
5632
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5633
    are generated.
5634
 
5635
    MakeAnt
5636
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5637
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5638
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5639
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5640
 
5641
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
5651
    MakeAnt directive extended
5652
    New option: --PackageBase
5653
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5654
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5655
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5656
 
5657
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5658
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5659
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5660
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5680
 
5681
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5682
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5683
 
5684
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5685
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5686
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5687
 
5688
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5689
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5690
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5691
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
5692
         tar -xjf /net/auperaunx26/export/devl/dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots/

5718
Minor changes:
5719
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5720
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5721
 
5722
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5723
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5724
      last.
5725
 
5726
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5727
 
5728
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5729
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5730
 
5731
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5732
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5733
 
5734
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5735
 
5736
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5737
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5738
 
5739
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5740
 
5741
 
5742
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5743
           with the --System option
5744
 
5745
    * LMOS target platform
5746
      Includes LINUX_ETX

5751
Major changes:
5752
 
5753
Minor changes:
5754
    * Solaris Toolset
5755
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5756
      dependent packages.
5757
 
5758
    * RunTest operation
5759
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5760
 
5761
    * Csharp toolkit
5762
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5763

5765
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5766
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5767
Major changes:
5768
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5769
 
5770
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5771
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5772
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5773
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5774
      path.
5775
 
5776
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5777
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5778
      reproducible.
5779
 
5780
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5781
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5782
 
5783
      There are several aspects to the change
5784
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5785
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5786
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5787
 
5788
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5789
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5790
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5791
          controlled separately.
5792
 
5793
Minor changes:
5794
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5795
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5796
        Remove duplicates
5797
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5798

5801
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5802
Major changes:
5803
 
5804
Minor changes:
5805
    * Makefile sanity test
5806
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5807
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5808
 
5809
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5810
      x86 machine.
5811
 
5812
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5813
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5814
 
5815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5816
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5818
Major changes:
5819
    * RunTest directive
5820
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5821
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5822
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5823
 
5824
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5825
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5826
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5827
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5828
 
5829
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5830
        builder within the current toolset.
5831
 
5832
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5833
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5834
 
5835
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5836
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5837
      containing the RunTest directive.
5838
 
5839
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5840
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5841
 
5842
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5843
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5844
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5845
 
5846
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5847
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5848
                            P or D suffix.
5849
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5850
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5851
 
5852
Minor changes:
5853
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5854
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5855
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5856
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5857
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5858
 
5859
    * Save Build Utility
5860
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5861
      used in a ripple build.
5862
 
5863
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5864
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5865
 
5866
    * Release Utility
5867
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5868
      when an error is encountered.
5869
 
5870
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5871
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5872
 
5873
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5874
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5875
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5876
 
5877
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5878
      before the makefiles are created.
5879
 
5880
    * TestProg directive
5881
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5882
 
5883
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5884
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5885

5889
Major changes:
5890
    * New build target
5891
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5892
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5893
 
5894
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5895
            DEVLINUX
5896
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5897
 
5898
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5899
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5900
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5901
 
5902
Minor changes:
5903
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5904
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5905
 
5906
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5907
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5908
 
5909
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5910
      and .cs files.
5911
 
5912
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5913
      thing.
5914
 
5915
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5916
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5917
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5918
      were it places temp files.
5919
 
5920
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5921
      interaction with other builds.
5922
 
5923
    * Release utility command
5924
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5925
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5926
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5987
  * Deployment
5988
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5989
 
5990
  * build.pl
5991
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5992
 
5993
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5994
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
5995
 
5996
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
5997
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
5998
    build.
5999
 
6000
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
6001
 
6002

6004
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
6005
     are not in the SBOM.
6006
 
6007
     Prune "patch" package versions.

6014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6015
Major changes:
6016
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
6017
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
6018
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
6019
 
6020
  * GenerateFiles
6021
    Added the options:
6022
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
6023
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
6024
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
6025
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
6026
 
6027
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
6028
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
6029
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
6030
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
6031
                                  required.
6032
 
6033
 
6034
Minor changes:
6035
  * GenerateFile directive
6036
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
6037
 
6038
  * GCC Toolset
6039
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
6040
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
6041
    be rebuilt.
6042
 
6043
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
6044
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
6045
 
6046

Major changes:
6050
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
6051
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
6052
    environment variables.
6053
 
6054
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6055
            moved.
6056
 
6057
    This will affect users that:
6058
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6059
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6060
 
6061
        2) Use the ABT system
6062
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6063
           the required configuration
6064
 
6065
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6066
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6067
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
6068
    Windows
6069
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 6070
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
6071
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6072
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 6073
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 6074
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
6075
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6076
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6077
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.

6080
  * New build platforms
6081
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6082
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6083
 
6084
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6085
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6086
 
6087
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6088
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6089
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6090
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6091
 
6092
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6093
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6094
    release.
6095
 
6096
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6097
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6098
 
6099
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6100
    need to be converted.
6101
 
6102
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6103
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6104
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6105
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6106
    used for different targets platforms.
6107
 
6108
  * Sandbox support
6109
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6110
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6111
 
6112
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6113
 
6114
Minor changes:
6115
 
6116
 
6117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6118
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6120
Major changes:
6121
  * MakeAnt directive
6122
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6123
 
6124
    New options
6125
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6126
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6127
 
6128
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6129
    run_unit_tests phase.
6130
 
6131
  * Sandbox support
6132
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6133
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6134
 
6135
Minor changes:
6136
  * jats build
6137
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6138
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6139
 
6140
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6141
 
6142
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6143
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6144
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6145
 
6146
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6147
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6148
 
6149
  * JATS.BAT
6150
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6151
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6152
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6153
 
6154
  * jats label
6155
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6156
 
6157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6158
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6159
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6160
Major changes:
6161
  * New build platform:
6162
        LMOS_TP5600
6163
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6164
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6165
 
6166
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6167
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6168
    describe the group of platforms.
6169
 
6170
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6171
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6172
    build these targets.
6173
 
6174
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6175
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6176
 
6177
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6178
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6179
 
6180
  * New build platform: WINCE
6181
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6182
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6183
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6184
 
6185
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6186
            WCEIT3000
6187
            WCEPA961
6188
            WCEPA962
6189
            WCEPCM7220
6190
            WCEPSION_420
6191
            WCEPSPC_arm
6192
            WCEPSPC_emu
6193
            WCEX86A420
6194
            WCEX86A500
6195
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6196
 
6197
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6198
 
6199
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6200
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6201
    that contain packaging directives.
6202
 
6203
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6204
    very unusual configurations.
6205
 
6206
Minor changes:
6207
  * Directive: PackageFile
6208
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6209
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6210
    an '='.
6211
 
6212
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6213
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6214
 
6215
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6216
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6217
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6218
 
6219
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6220
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6221
 
6222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6223
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6224
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6225
Major changes:
6226
 
6227
  * JATS release command
6228
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6229
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6230
 
6231
    Rules are:
6232
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6233
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6234
                            File will be placed on a branch
6235
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6236
                            New directory will branch
6237
 
6238
Minor changes:
6239
  * JATS release command
6240
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6241
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6242
 
6243
  * JATS label command
6244
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6245
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6246
 
6247
  * JATS make
6248
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6249
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6250
    was re-packaged.
6251
 
6252
  * JATS escrow
6253
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6254
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6255
 
6256
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6257
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6258
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6259
 
6260
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6261
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6262
    interface directory.
6263
 
6264
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6265
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6266
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6267
    directory as seen by the package.
6268
 
6269
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6270
 
6271
  * JAVA 6
6272
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6273
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6274
 
6275
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6276
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6277
 
6278
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6279
 
6280
  * Jats command: vars
6281
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6282
    These indicate potential problems.
6283
 
6284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6285
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6287
Major changes:
6288
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6289
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6290
    libarry is also created.
6291
 
6292
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6293
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6294
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6295
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6296
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6297
    information contained within the file.
6298
 
6299
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6300
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6301
 
6302
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6303
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6304
 
6305
  * Building Perl Modules
6306
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6307
    documentation on the build machine.
6308
 
6309
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6310
 
6311
Minor changes:
6312
  * jats create_dpkg
6313
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6314
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6315
 
6316
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6317
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6318
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6319
Major changes:
6320
  * JATS JAVA build target
6321
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6322
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6323
 
6324
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6325
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6326
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6327
    is then picked up as the default version.
6328
 
6329
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6330
    build.pl file.
6331
 
6332
Minor changes:
6333
  * jats release
6334
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6335
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6336
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6337
 
6338
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6339
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6340
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6341
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6342
    the name of the view.
6343
 
6344
  * GenerateFiles directive
6345
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6346
 
6347
  * MOS Toolset
6348
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6349
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6350
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6351
 
6352
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6353
 
6354
 
6355
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6356
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6358
Major changes:
6359
 
6360
Minor changes:
6361
  * JATS environment
6362
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6363
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6364
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6365
 
6366
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6367
 
6368
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6369
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6370
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6371
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6372
    to be packaged.
6373
 
6374
  * Generated makefiles
6375
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6376
 
6377
  * Generating MOS THX files
6378
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6379
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6380
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6381
 
6382
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6383
 
6384
  * JATS release
6385
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6386
 
6387
  * JATS extract
6388
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6389
 
6390
  * JATS Toolset
6391
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6392
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6393
 
6394
 
6395
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6396
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6397
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6398
Major changes:
6399
 
6400
Minor changes:
6401
  * jats label
6402
    Added a -vob=name option
6403
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6404
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6405
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6406
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6407
 
6408
    Added a -user=name option
6409
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6410
    label to the named user.
6411
 
6412
  * jats release
6413
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6414
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6415
 
6416
  * JATS build.pl
6417
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6418
    ie:
6419
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6420

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6423
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6424
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6425
Major changes:
6426
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6427
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6428
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6429
    the makefile internals. ie:
6430
        --Var(BuildName)
6431
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6432
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6433
 
6434
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6435
 
6436
  * GenerateFiles
6437
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6438
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6439
 
6440
  * BuildPlatforms
6441
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6442
 
6443
Minor changes:
6444
  * GCC Toolset
6445
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6446
 
6447
Internal changes:
6448
  * GenerateFiles
6449
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6450
 
6451
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6452
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.

6456
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6458
Major changes:
6459
  * Caching JATS
6460
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6461
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6462
 
6463
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6464
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6465
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6466
 
6467
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6468
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6469
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6470
 
6471
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6472
 
6473
Minor changes:
6474
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6475
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6476
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6477
 
6478
  * jats build
6479
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6480
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6481
    processed by the build.
6482
 
6483
  * jats build
6484
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6485
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6486
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6487
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6488
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6489
 
6490
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6491
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6492
    Path is not specified.
6493
 
6494
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6495
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6496
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6497
        --Dir=$Pinc
6498
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6499
 
6500
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6501
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6502
    Windows platform.
6503
 
6504
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6505
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6506
            by 'purecov.
6507
 
6508
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6509
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6510
 
6511
        - OPTIONS=purify
6512
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6513
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6514
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6515

6518
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6519
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6520
Major changes:
6521
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6522
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6523
    Example:
6524
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6525
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6526
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6527
 
6528
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6529
    been determined.
6530
 
6531
Minor changes:
6532
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6533
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6534
    located at build-time.
6535
 
6536
  * Unix based systems
6537
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6538
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6539
 
6540
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6541
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6542
    driver being built.
6543
 
6544

6554
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6555
 
6556
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6557
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6558
 
6559
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6560
    dependancy information within a package.
6561
 
6562
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6563
    messages.
6564

6571
 
6572
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6573
 
6574
    GenerateFiles.
6575
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6576
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6577
                      be run on every invocation.
6578
 
6579
 
6580
Minor changes:

6583
 
6584
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6585
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6586
  There are two mechanism:
6587
 
6588
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6589
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6590
 
6591
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6592
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6593
 
6594
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6595
  default.
6596
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6597
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
6598

6603
  * SunWorks Toolset
6604
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6605
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6606
    It is based on machine type.
6607
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6608
 
6609
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6610
 
6611
Minor changes:
6612
  * Perl DBI interface
6613
    Removed the message showing database connection
6614
 
6615

6621
Major changes:
6622
  * GCC Toolset
6623
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6624
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6625

6626
 
6627
  * Added platforms
6628
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6629
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6630
    TP5600_EMU
6631
 
6632
Minor changes:
6633
  * descpkg file reader
6634
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6635
    field separator.
6636
 
6637
  * JATS eprog command
6638
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6639
 
6640
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6641
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6642
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6643
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6644
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6645
 
6646
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6647
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6648
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6649
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6650
 
6651
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6652
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6659
 
6660
  * GCC Toolset (Shared Library Generation)
6661
    Added option --Def=file_name to the shared library definitions
6662
 
6663
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6664
 
6665
 
6666
Minor changes:
6667
  * JATS wrapper script
6668
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6669
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6670
    to setup links to system programs.
6671

6691
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6692
    Added CompileOptions
6693
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6694
        no_misalign         - Default
6695
 
6696
        multithread         - Default
6697
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6698
 
6699
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6700
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6701
 
6702

6710
        debug_debuginfo
6711
 
6712
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6713
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6714
    Theses are:
6715
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6716
        SOLARIS_AMD
6717
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6718
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6719
 
6720
Minor changes:
6721
  * AT3232 toolset
6722
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6723
 
6724
  * Jats build

6731
Major changes:
6732
 
6733
Minor changes:
6734
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6735
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6736
    messages
6737
 
6738
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6739
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6740
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6741
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6742

Major changes:
6747
 
6748
Minor changes:
6749
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6750
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6751
    library without creating the body of the library:
6752
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6753
 
6754
 
6755
  * MOS toolsets
6756
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6757
    library without creating the body of the library:
6758
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6759
 
6760
  * JATS BIN directories
6761
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6762
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6763
    using autoconf.
6764
 
6765
  * Generate directive
6766
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6767
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6768
 
6769
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

6784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6785
Major changes:
6786
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6787
    Initial release.
6788
 
6789
  * Packaging directives
6790
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6791
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6792
 
6793
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6794
        SOLARIS
6795
        WIN32
6796
 
6797
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6798
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6799
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6800
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6801
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6802
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6803
 
6804
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6805
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6806
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6807
 
6808
 
6809
Minor changes:
6810
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6811
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6812
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6813
 
6814
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6815
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6816
    location
6817
 
6818
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6819
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6820
 
6821
  * Utility genrc
6822
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6823
 
6824
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6825
    Added option: -new
6826
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6827
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6828
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6829
 
6830
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6831
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6832
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6833
 
6834
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6835
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6836
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6837
 
6838
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6839
   features - in a uniform manner.
6840
 
6841
 
6842
Internal Changes:
6843
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6844
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6845
 
6846
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6847
        1) Platform information available at build time
6848
        2) Dynamic platform names
6849
 
6850
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6851
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6852
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6853
 
6854
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6855
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6856
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6857
 
6858
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6859
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6860
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6861
    needed.
6862
 
6863
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6864
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6865
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6866
    files from all of these.

Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6871
Major changes:
6872
 
6873
Minor changes:
6874
  * WinCE toolset
6875
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6876
 
6877
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6878
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6879
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6880
Major changes:
6881
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6882
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6883
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6884
 
6885
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6886
 
6887
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6888
    the operations.
6889
 
6890
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6891
 
6892
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6893
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6894
 
6895
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6896
 
6897
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6898
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6899
 
6900
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6901
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6902
    Extended the built-in help
6903
    Added useful error messages
6904
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6905
 
6906
  * WinCE toolset
6907
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6908
 
6909
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6910
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6911
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6912
 
6913
Minor changes:
6914
  * JATS wrapper script
6915
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6916
    the command line.
6917
 
6918
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6919
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6920
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6921
 
6922
Internal Changes:
6923
  * Common Error Reporting
6924
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6925
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6926
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6927
    level.
6928
 
6929
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6930
    displayed.
6931
 
6932
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6933
 
6934
  * Added JatsSystem module
6935
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6937
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

6939
Major changes:
6940
 
6941
Minor changes:
6942
  * BR Compiler toolset
6943
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6944
    .def files to include other files.
6945
 
6946
  * IAR toolset
6947
    Added AT7272 support
6948
 
6949
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6950
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6951
 
6952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6953
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6954
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6955
Major changes:
6956
 
6957
Minor changes:
6958
  * BR Compiler toolset
6959
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6960
    use.
6961
 
6962
 
6963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6964
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6966
Major changes:
6967
 
6968
Minor changes:
6969
  * Mictotec toolset
6970
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6971
    builds.
6972
 
6973
  * JATS Core
6974
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6975
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6976
    behaviour.
6977
 
6978
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6979
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6981
Major changes:
6982
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6983
    Deployment package will be affected.
6984
 
6985
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6986
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6987
 
6988
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6989
 
6990
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6991
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6992
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6993
    packages.
6994
 
6995
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
6996
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
6997
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
6998
 
6999
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
7000
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
7001
 
7002
Minor changes:
7003
  * SubDir directive
7004
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
7005
    a directory from two different makefiles.
7006
 
7007
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
7008
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
7009
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
7010
    of the file usage.
7011
 
7012
  * New utility: jats_manifest
7013
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
7014
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
7015
 
7016
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
7017
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
7018
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
7019
 
7020
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
7021
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
7022
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
7023
    will execute a JATS extended command.
7024
 
7025
 
7026
Internal Changes:
7027
  * Code refactor
7028
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
7029
 
7030
  * Deployment utilities
7031
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
7032
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
7033
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
7034
    the module can locate the file.
7035
 
7036
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
7037
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
7038
 
7039
  * JATS core
7040
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
7041
 
7042
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
7043
 
7044
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
7045
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
7046
    through the use of environment variables.
7047
 
7048
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
7049
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
7050
 
7051
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
7052
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
7053
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7054
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7055
 
7056
  * Make environment
7057
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7058
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7059
 
7060
 
7061
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7062
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7064
Major changes:
7065
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7066
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7067
 
7068
 
7069
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7070
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7071
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7072
 
7073
Not Released.
7074
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7075
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7076
 
7077
 
7078
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7079
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7081
Major changes:
7082
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7083
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7084
    radically replaced.
7085
 
7086
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7087
    Usage:
7088
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7089
 
7090
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7091
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7092
    this solution:
7093
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7094
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7095
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7096
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7097
 
7098
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7099
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7100
    order to work.
7101
 
7102
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7103
    reduced functionality.
7104
 
7105
 
7106
Minor changes:
7107
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7108
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7109
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7110
 
7111
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7112
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7113
    within the makefiles.
7114
        Options:
7115
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7116
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7117
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7118
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7119
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7120
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7121
        Useage:
7122
 
7123
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7124
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7125
 
7126
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7127
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7128
    is not in the current directory.
7129
 
7130
  * Jats Command: ant'
7131
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7132
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7133
 
7134
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7135
 
7136
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7137
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7138
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7139
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7140
 
7141
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7142
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7143
    Thus
7144
 
7145
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7146
 
7147
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7148
 
7149

7151
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7152
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7153
Major changes:
7154
 
7155
Minor changes:
7156
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7157
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7158
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7159
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7160
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7161
 
7162
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7163
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7164
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7165
 
7166
Internal changes:
7167
  * JATS toolsets
7168
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7169
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7170
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7171
 
7172
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7173
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7174
 
7175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7176
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7177
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7178
Major changes:
7179
  * Jats command: etool
7180
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7181
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7182
 
7183
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7184
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7185
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7186
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7187
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7188
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7189
 
7190
Minor changes:
7191
 
7192
 
7193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7194
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7196
Major changes:
7197
  * JATS environment variables
7198
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7199
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7200
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7201
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7202
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7203
 
7204
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7205
              Remote repository
7206
 
7207
    Added GBE_DPLY
7208
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7209
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7210
 
7211
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7212
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7213
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7214
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7215
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7216
 
7217
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7218
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7219
 
7220
 
7221
Minor changes:
7222
  * JATS utility: build
7223
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7224
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7225
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7226
 
7227
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7228
    Ensure label is not locked
7229
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7230
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7231
 
7232
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7233
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7234
    to a specific type of build.
7235
 
7236
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7237
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7238
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7239
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7240
 
7241
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7242
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7243
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7244
 
7245
  * JATS utility: release
7246
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7247
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7248
 
7249
  * JATS utility: label
7250
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7251
    when it is being created.
7252
 
7253
Internal Changes
7254
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7255
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7256
 
7257
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7258
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7259
 
7260
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7261
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7262
    different results.
7263
 
7264
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7265
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7266
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7267
 
7268

    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7282
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7283
 
7284
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7285
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7286
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7287
 
7288
Minor changes:
7289
  * BuildVersion
7290
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7291
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7292
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7293
 
7294
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7295
 
7296
  * Unix Builds
7297
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7298
    library or a shared library.
7299
 
7300
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7301
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7302
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7303
    start with 'lib'.
7304
 
7305
  * BuildPkgArchive
7306
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7307
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7308
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7309
 
7310
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7311
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7313
Major changes:
7314
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7315
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7316
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7317
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7318
    being manually maintained.
7319
 
7320
 
7321
Minor changes:
7322
  * MakeAnt directive
7323
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7324
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7325
    supports ANT builds.
7326
 
7327
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7328
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7329
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7330
 
7331
  * Label utility
7332
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7333
    files to be labeled.
7334
 
7335
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7336
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7337
    on Solaris.
7338
 
7339
  * Generated makefiles
7340
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7341
    nothing.
7342
 
7343
  * MOS Toolset
7344
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7345
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7346
    modules.
7347
 
7348
  * Utility: gen_cots
7349
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7350
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7351
 
7352
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7353
 
7354
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7355
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7356
 
7357
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7358
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7359
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7360
Major changes:
7361
  None
7362
 
7363
Minor changes:
7364
  * DEVI addressed
7365
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7366
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7367
 
7368
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7369
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7370
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7371
 
7372
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7373
 
7374
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7375
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7376
 
7377
  * RunTest directive
7378
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7379
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7380
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7381
 
7382
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7383
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7384
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7385
    packaged under JATS
7386
 
7387
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7388
          supported within JATS.
7389
 
7390
  * Jats utility wrapper
7391
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7392
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7393
 
7394
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7395
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7396
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7397
 
7398
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7399
    Eg: jats ant
7400
 
7401
  * Jats utility wrapper
7402
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7403
 
5710 dpurdie 7404
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7405
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7406
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7407
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7408
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7409
 
5710 dpurdie 7410
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7411
    expect a build.pl file.
7412
 
7413
  * Jats utility wrapper
7414
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7415
 
7416
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7417
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7418
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7419
 
7420
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7421
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7422
 
7423
  * Build files
7424
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7425
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7426
 
7427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7428
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7430
Major changes:
7431
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7432
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7433
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7434
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7435
 
7436
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7437
 
7438
Minor changes:
7439
  * None
7440
 
7441
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7442
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7444
Major changes:
7445
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7446
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7447
    ie:
7448
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7449
 
7450
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7451
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7452
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7453
    environments are compatible.
7454
 
7455
 
7456
Minor changes:
7457
  * BuildName option
7458
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7459
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7460
 
7461
  * jats.bat
7462
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7463
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7464
 
7465
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7466
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7467
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7468
Major changes:
7469
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7470
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7471
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7472
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7473
 
7474
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7475
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7476
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7477
 
7478
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7479
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7480
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7481
 
7482
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7483
    transferred.
7484
 
7485
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7486
    See notes below.
7487
 
7488
  * WIN32 toolset
7489
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7490
    correctly.
7491
 
7492
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7493
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7494
 
7495
  * BuildVersion
7496
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7497
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7498
    other langauges as needed.
7499
 
7500
 
7501
Minor changes:
7502
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7503
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7504
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7505
    version strings.
7506
 
7507
  * GenerateFiles directive
7508
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7509
    package or an imported package.
7510
 
7511
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7512
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7513
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7514
 
7515
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7516
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7517
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7518
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7519
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7520
 
7521
Internal Changes
7522
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7523
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7524
    of utilities.
7525
 
7526
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7527
    functions.
7528
 
7529
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7530
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7532
Major changes:
7533
  * Generated makefiles
7534
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7535
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7536
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7537
 
7538
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7539
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7540
    incorrectly processing:
7541
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7542
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7543
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7544
    confused.
7545
 
7546
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7547
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7548
    The construct
7549
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7550
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7551
    then it works.
7552
 
7553
  * MakeAnt directive
7554
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7555
 
7556
    This option has the following effects
7557
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7558
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7559
 
7560
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7561
           early - in the generated files phase.
7562
 
7563
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7564
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7565
 
7566
 
7567
Minor changes:
7568
  * JATS post-installation script
7569
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7570
 
7571
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7572
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7573
    windows.
7574
 
7575
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7576
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7577
 
7578
  * Jats wrapper script
7579
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7580
        1) Contain spaces
7581
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7582
 
7583
  * Toolset
7584
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7585
 
7586
  * JAVA toolset
7587
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7588
    directive:
7589
 
7590
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7591
 
7592
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7593
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7594
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7595
 
7596
  * GCC Toolset
7597
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7598
 
7599
  * Makefile generation
7600
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7601
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7602
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7603
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7604
    package could not be used.
7605
 
7606
  * Unit Tests
7607
    The following environment variables are set:
7608
 
7609
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7610
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7611
 
7612
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7613
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7614
 
7615
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7616
 
7617
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7618
 
7619
 
7620
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7621
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7622
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7623
Major changes:
7624
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7625
 
7626
    Special features of this toolset.
7627
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7628
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7629
       incorporated within the target image.
7630
 
7631
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7632
       --Set=Name=Value
7633
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7634
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7635
 
7636
       --Ref=name
7637
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7638
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7639
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7640
                will be taken from the build version number.
7641
 
7642
Minor changes:
7643
  * MOS Toolset
7644
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7645
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7646
    packaged.
7647
 
7648
  * Src directive
7649
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7650
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7651
    specifier.
7652
 
7653
  * WIN32 runtime support
7654
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7655
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7656
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7657
 
7658
Internal:
7659
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7660
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7661
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7662
 
7663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7664
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7666
Major changes:
7667
    * BuildAlias directive
7668
      Added options.
7669
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7670
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7671
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7672
                          targets.
7673
      Eg:
7674
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7675
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7676
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7677
 
7678
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7679
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7680
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7681
 
7682
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7683
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7684
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7685
 
7686
 
7687
Minor changes:
7688
  * Label utility
7689
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7690
    build.pl file
7691
 
7692
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7693
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7694
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7695
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7696
    --FilterIn option.
7697
 
7698
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7699
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7700
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7701
 
7702
  * Location of descpkg file
7703
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7704
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7705
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7706

------------------------------------------------------------------------
7708
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7709
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7710
Major changes:
7711
  * RunTest directive
7712
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7713
    Additional options
7714
      --CopyIn=file
7715
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7716
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7717
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7718
        the test area.
7719
 
7720
    Additional operations
7721
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7722
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7723
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7724
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7725
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7726
    Allows flags:
7727
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7728
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7729
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7730
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7731
 
7732
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7733
    existence is tested.
7734
 
7735
  * Packaging Directives
7736
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7737
    such as LMOS.
7738
 
7739
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7740
 
7741
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7742
 
7743
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7744
 
7745
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7746
 
7747
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7748
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7749
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7750
 
7751
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7752
 
7753
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7754
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7755
 
7756
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7757
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7758
 
7759
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7760
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7761
 
7762
Minor changes:
7763
  * Script directive
7764
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7765
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7766
 
7767
  * JATS environment
7768
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7769
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7770
    the JATS wrapper script.
7771
 
7772
  * Label utility
7773
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7774
    There are three modes of operation:
7775
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7776
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7777
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7778
 
7779
 
7780
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7781
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7783
Major changes:
7784
 
7785
Minor changes:
7786
  * label utility
7787
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7788
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7789
 
7790
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7791
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7792
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7793
      --ProgLoader=name
7794
 
7795
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7796
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7797
    Options to do this are:
7798
        --TreeDir=name
7799
        --FilterOut=regexp
7800
        --FilterIn=regexp
7801
        --StripDir
7802
 
7803
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7804
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7805
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7806
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7807
 
7808
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7809
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7810
 
7811
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7812
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7813
 
7814
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7815
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7816
 
7817
 
7818
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7819
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7821
Major changes:
7822
    * Make commands
7823
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7824
 
7825
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7826
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7827
 
7828
    * Label utility
7829
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7830
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7831
 
7832
Minor changes:
7833
    * Toolsets
7834
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7835
      variables and overrides.
7836
 
7837
      The make_init target is always run.
7838
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7839
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7840
 
7841
    * Deployment
7842
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7843
      with deployment operations.
7844
 
7845
    * Release utility
7846
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7847
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7848
      restricted by options within the build.
7849
 
7850
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7851
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7852
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7853
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7854
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7855
 
7856
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7857
      directives.
7858
 
7859
    * MakeProject directive
7860
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7861
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7862
 
7863
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7864
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7865
      is preserved.
7866
 
7867
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7868
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7869
      statements.
7870
 
7871
    * Mugfile generation
7872
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7873
      be placed in the target package.
7874
 
7875
 
7876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7877
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7878
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7879
Major changes:
7880
    * BuildVersion directive
7881
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7882
      number as well as a patch number.
7883
 
7884
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7885
      number.
7886
 
7887
Minor changes:
7888
    * AddFlags directives
7889
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7890
      duplicate flags being added.
7891
 
7892
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7893
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7894
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7895
 
7896
    * Mug File Generation
7897
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7898
 
7899
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7900
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7901
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7902
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7903
     directory.
7904
 
7905
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7906
     reproducible.
7907
 
7908
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7909
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7910
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7911
Major changes:
7912
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7913
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7914
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7915
      longer a list of directories.
7916
 
7917
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7918
      done within the toolset.
7919
 
7920
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7921
 
7922
    * JATS environment variables
7923
      Redefined variable
7924
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7925
                          Previously was a list that included the
7926
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7927
 
7928
      New variable
7929
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7930
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7931
 
7932
 
7933
Minor changes:
7934
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7935
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7936
      target platforms to be extracted.
7937
 
7938
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7939
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7940
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7941
 
7942
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7943
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7944
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7945
 
7946
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7947
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7948
 
7949
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7950
      Support ANT based XML files
7951
 
7952
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7953
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7954
      structure.
7955
 
7956
    * makefile.pl's
7957
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7958
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7959
 
7960
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7961
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7962
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7963
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7964
 
7965
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7966
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7967
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7968
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7969
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7970
      -- Auto.
7971
 
7972
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7973
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7974
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7975
 
7976
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7977
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7978
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7979
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7980
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7981
 
7982
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7983
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7984
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7985
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7986
      installed on the machine.
7987
 
7988
    * WINCE Targets
7989
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7990
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7991
 
7992
 
7993

7995
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
7996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7997
Major changes:
7998
    * WIN32 platforms
7999
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
8000
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
8001
      and installed packages.
8002
 
8003
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
8004
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
8005
      create CV style debug information in the target.
8006
 
8007
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
8008
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
8009
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
8010
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
8011
      searched when looking for libraries.
8012
 
8013
Minor changes:
8014
    * GenerateFiles directive
8015
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
8016
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
8017
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
8018
                          and drive letter
8019
 
8020
    * Src directive
8021
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
8022
      directory of a package.
8023
 
8024
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
8025
 
8026
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
8027
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8028
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8029
 
8030
    * jats_rewrite utility
8031
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8032
 
8033
 
8034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8035
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8036
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8037
Major changes:
8038
    * SunWorks production builds
8039
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8040
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8041
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8042
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8043
      compiler documentation.
8044
 
8045
    * MOS Toolset
8046
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8047
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8048
 
8049
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8050
 
8051
Minor changes:
8052
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8053
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8054
      This should not affect current users.
8055
 
8056
    * Mugfile generation
8057
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8058
      specified.
8059
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8060

8063
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8064
Major changes:
8065
    MOS Toolset
8066
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8067
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8068
 
8069
Minor changes:
8070
    * Jats wrapper script
8071
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8072
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8073
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8074
 
8075
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8076
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8077
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8078
      may be suspect.
8079
 
8080
    * GenerateFiles directive
8081
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8082
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8083
 
8084
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8085
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8086
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8087
Major changes:
8088
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8089
      build.xml files.
8090
 
8091
Minor changes:
8092
    * WIN32 toolset.
8093
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8094
 
8095
    * MakeAnt
8096
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8097
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8098
 
8099
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8100
 
8101
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8102
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8103
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8104
 
8105
    * MakeAnt directive
8106
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8107
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8108
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8109
 
8110
      Recommended usage:
8111
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8112
 
8113
Internal Changes
8114
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8120
Major changes:
8121
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8122
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8123
      files packaged into the release.
8124
 
8125
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8129
 
8130
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8131
      The recommended platform is:
8132
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8133
 
8134
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8135
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8136
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8137
      components.
8138

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

    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8491
      This is a WINCE target
8492
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8493
 
8494
    * New toolset
8495
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8496
 
8497
    * Modified toolset
8498
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8499
 
8500
    * Modified toolset
8501
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8502
 
8503
Minor changes:
8504
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8505
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8506
 
8507
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8508
 
8509
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8510
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8511
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8512
 
8513
      The change allows the construct
8514
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8515
      to be replaced by the simpler
8516
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8517
 
8518
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8519
      specified name.

8539
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8540
Major changes:
8541
    * The "package.pl" file.
8542
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8543
      package name being taken from the build name
8544
 
8545
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8546
      package Build Name.
8547
 
8548
Minor changes:
8549
    * create_dpkg utility
8550
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8551

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8555
Major changes:
8556
 
8557
Minor changes:
8558
    * Dependancy generator
8559
      Correct two common situations
8560
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8561
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8562
           ansi, but is often done.
8563
 
8564
    * GCC toolset
8565
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8566
      being created in the correct place.
8567
 
8568
    * jats "label"
8569
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8570
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8571
 
8572
 
8573
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8574
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8575
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8576
Major changes:
8577
 
8578
Minor changes:
8579
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8580
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8581
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8582
 
8583
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8584
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8585
 
8586
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8587
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8588
      package was not being transferred.
8589
 
8590
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8591
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8592
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8593
Major changes:
8594
    * Support for solaris_i386
8595
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8596
      binaries for this target.
8597
 
8598
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8599
      with the GCC compiler.
8600
 
8601
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8602
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8603
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8604
 
8605
Minor changes:
8606
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8607
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8608
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8609
 
8610
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8611
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8612
 
8613
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8614
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8615
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8616
Major changes:
8617
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8618
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8619
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8620
 
8621
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8622
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8623
 
8624
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8625
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8626
      with either " or ' characters.
8627
 
8628
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8629
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8630
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8631
 
8632
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8633
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8634
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8635
 
8636
    * Jats wrapper
8637
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8638
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8639
      further commands.
8640
 
8641
Minor changes:
8642
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8643
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8644
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8645
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8646
 
8647
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8648
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8649
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8650
Major changes:
8651
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8652
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8653
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8654
 
8655
      These options operation affect all components within the
8656
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8657
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8658
 
8659
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8660
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8661
 
8662
Minor changes:
8663
 
8664
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8665
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8666
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8667
Major changes:
8668
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8669
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8670
 
8671
Minor changes:
8672
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8673
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8674
 
8675
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8676
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8677
 
8678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8679
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8681
Major changes:
8682
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8683
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8684
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8685
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8686
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8687
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8688
      installed.
8689
 
8690
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8691
      libraries that depend on each other.
8692
 
8693
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8694
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8695
 
8696
Minor changes:
8697
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8698
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8699
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8700
 
8701
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8702
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8703
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8704
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8705
 
8706
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8707
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8708
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8709
Major changes:
8710
 
8711
Minor changes:
8712
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8713
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8714
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8715
      file.
8716
 
8717
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8718
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8719
 
8720
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8721
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8722
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8723
 
8724
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8725
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8726
 
8727
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8728
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8729
 
8730
    * WinCE toolsets
8731
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8732
      compiler specific libraries.
8733
 
8734
    * SOLARIS toolset
8735
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8736
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8737
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8738
 
8739
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8740
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8741
      cleaned up.
8742
 
8743
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8744
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8745
 
8746
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8747
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8748
      with either " or ' characters.
8749
 
8750

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8752
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8753
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8754
Major changes:
8755
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8756
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8757
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8758
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8759
 
8760
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8761
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8762
 
8763
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8764
      user.
8765
 
8766
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8767
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8768
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8769
 
8770
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8771
      for the   -Gf option.
8772
 
8773
Minor changes:
8774
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8775
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8776
 
8777
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8778
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8779
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8780
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8781
 
8782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8783
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8785
Major changes:
8786
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8787
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8788
 
8789
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8790
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8791
      data addresses for the board.
8792
 
8793
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8794
 
8795
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8796
 
8797
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8798
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8799
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8800
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8801
         PackageFile
8802
 
8803
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8804
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8805
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8806
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8807
 
8808
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8809
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8810
      to be installed and packaged.
8811
 
8812
Minor changes:
8813
 
8814
    * cache_dpkg utility
8815
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8816
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8817
 
8818
    * label utility
8819
      New option -auto to create and label
8820
 
8821
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8822
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8823
 
8824
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8825
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8826
      directory. ie:
8827
 
8828
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8829
 
8830
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8831
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8832
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8833
 
8834
 
8835
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8836
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8837
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8838
Major changes:
8839
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8840
 
8841
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8842
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8843
 
8844
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8845
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8846
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8847
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8848
 
8849
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8850
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8851
      compilation.
8852
 
8853
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8854
 
8855
Minor changes:
8856
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8857
      one is being produced.
8858
 
8859
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8860
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8861
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8862
 
8863
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8864
 
8865
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8866
 
8867
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8868
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
8869
 
8870
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8871
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8872
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8873
Major changes:
8874
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8875
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8876
 
8877
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8878
 
8879
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8880
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8881
      same directory
8882
 
8883
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8884
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8885
      documenattion.
8886
 
8887
Minor changes:
8888
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8889
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8890
 
8891
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8892
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8893
 
8894
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8895
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8896
 
8897
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8898
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8899
 
8900
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8901
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8902
      be exempt from this test.
8903
 
8904
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8905
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8906
 
8907
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8908
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8909
 
8910
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8911
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8912
      does.
8913
 
8914
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8915
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8916

8918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8919
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8920
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8921
Major changes:
8922
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8923
 
8924
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8925
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8926
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8927
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8928
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8929
 
8930
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8931
      operations.
8932
 
8933
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8934
 
8935
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8936
 
8937
Minor changes
8938
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8939
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8940
 
8941
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8942
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8943
      directory is not added to the library path.
8944
 
8945
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8946
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8947
 
8948
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8949
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8950
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8951
 
8952
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8953
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8954
      specific flags.
8955
 
8956
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8957
 
8958
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8959
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8960
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8961
 
8962
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8963
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8964
      JATS.
8965
 
8966
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8967
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8968
 
8969
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8970
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8971
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8972
 
8973
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8974
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8975
 
8976
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8977
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8978
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8979
 
8980
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8981
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8982
 
8983
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8984
 
8985
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8986
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8987
 
8988
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8989
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8990
      objects.
8991
 
8992
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8993
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8994
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
8995
      build defendants.
