981
 
982
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
983
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
984
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
985
      build errors.
986
 
987
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
988
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
989
 
990
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
991
      Shorthand for
992
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
993
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
994
 
995
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
996
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
997
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
998
      Examples: 
999
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
1000
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
1001
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
1002
 
1003
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
1004
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
1005
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
1006
 
1007
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1008
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
1009
      build system.
1010
 
1011
Experimental:
1012
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
1013
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
1014
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1020
 
1021
Minor changes:
1022
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
1023
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
1024
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
1025
 
1026

1027
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
1028
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1029
 
1030
Minor changes:
1031
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
1032
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1033
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1034
 
1035
    * Build Files
1036
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1037
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1038
 
1039
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1040
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1041
 
1042
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1043
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1044
 
1045
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1046
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1047
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1048
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1049
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1050
 
1051
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1052
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1053
     different architectures.
1054
 
1055
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1056
     are directed to one or more machines.
1057
 
1058
     Intended uses:
1059
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1060
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1061
 
1062
       All: Specialized packaging.
1063
 
1064
    * Makefiles
1065
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1066
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1067
      Eg:
1068
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1069
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1070
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1071
      It could also have been written as:
1072
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1073
      but NOT as:
1074
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1075
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1076
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1077
 
1078
    * Utility: sandbox
1079
      Subcommand info 
1080
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1090
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1091
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1092
 
1093
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1094
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1095
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1096
 
1097
    * GenerateFiles directive
1098
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1119
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1120
 
1121
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1122
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1123
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1124
      machine may build the toolset.
1125
 
1126
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1127
      platform.
1128

1149
 
1150
    * Utility: escrow
1151
      Added -skim option

1156
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1157
 
1158
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1159
 
1160

1161
        if an error is detected.
1162

        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1164
        needs to be rebuilt at all.

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

1862
        BuildProduct   ( PROD,--Alias=A1', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A2', 'PLATFORM1,--Alias=A3' );
1863
      Will result in A1 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1 and PROD_PLATFORM2
1864
                     A2 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM1
1865
                     A3 being an alias for PROD_PLATFORM2
1866
 
1867
    * GCC Toolset. New CompileOptions

Major changes:
1881
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1882
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1883
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1884
 
1885
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1886
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1887
      duplicates corrected.
1888
 
1889
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1890
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1891
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1892
 
1893
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1894
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1895
      displayed at the end of the build process.

2089
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
2090
 
2091
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
2092
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build

Minor changes:
2123
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2124
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2125
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2126
 
2127
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2128
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2129
 
2130
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2131
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
2132
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
2133
 
2134
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
2422
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2423
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2424
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2425
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2426
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2427
 
2428
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2429

2440
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2441
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2442
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh

2456
Major changes:
2457
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2458
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2459
      intended to build deployed software.
2460
 
2461
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2462
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2463
 
2464
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2465
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2466
 
2467
Minor changes:
2468
    * Jats wrapper script
2469
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2470
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2471
      Subversion instance of the command.
2472
 
2473
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2474
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2475
 
2476
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2477

      file under windows.
2482
 
2483
    * CSharp Toolset: Resx processing
2484
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2485
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2486
 
2487
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2488
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2489
 
2490
    * GCC Toolchain
2491
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

2508
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2509
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2510
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2511
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2512
 
2513
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2514
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2527
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2528
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2529
      line.
2530
 
2531

Minor changes:
2547
    * Jats Core
2548
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2549
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2550
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2551
 
2552
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2553
      Used only by the build daemons.
2554
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2555
 
2556
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2557
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2558
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

Major changes:
2564
 
2565
Minor changes:
2566
    * svnrelease utility
2567
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2568
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2569
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2570
 
2571
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2572
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2573
      the named tag.
2574
 
2575
    * svnrelease utility
2576
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2577
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2588
        covered by the makefile.
2589
 
2590
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2591
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2592
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2593
 
2594
    * ALL Toolsets
2595
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2596
 
2597
    * Utility vcsdiff
2598
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2599

2600
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2608
    * Subversion Extraction
2609
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2610
      directory of the tag.
2611
 
2612
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2613
      repository.
2614
 
2615
    * Subversion Support
2616
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2617
      showing the user what to do.
2618
 
2619
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2620
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2621
      we have build support for this target.
2622
 
2623
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2624
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2625
 
2626
Internal:
2627
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2628
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.

Major changes:
2645
 
2646
Minor changes:
2647
    * Makefile generation
2648
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2649
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2650
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2651
      of warnings.
2652
 
2653
    * Makefile Generation
2654
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2655
 
2656

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2663
Major changes:
2664
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2665
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2666
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2667
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2668
 
2669
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2670
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2671
      windows path scheme.
2672
 
2673
Minor changes:
2674
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2675
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2676
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2677
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2678
 
2679
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2680
        jats make clobber
2681
      This operates as before.
2682
 
2683
    * Utility: escrow
2684
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2685
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2686
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2687
 
2688
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2689
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2690
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2691
 
2692
    * Utility: svn : url
2693
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2694
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2695
 
2696
    * Utility: svn : import
2697
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2698
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2699
 
2700
    * Subversion Support
2701
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2702
      showing the user what to do.
2703
 
2704
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2705
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2706
      repositories.

2711
 
2712
Minor changes:
2713
    * Jats build
2714
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2715
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2716
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2717
 
2718
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2719
      command, with a sandbox.

2731
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2732
                 Can also display available branches.
2733
 
2054 dpurdie 2734

2740
 
2741
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2742
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2743
      Modified two options:
2744
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2745
                        The named branch must not exist
2746
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2747
                        The named branch must exist
2748
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2758
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2759

2782
 
2783
Major changes:
2784
    * Jats Version Number
2785
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2786
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2787
      significantly.

Major changes:
2800
    * Subversion support
2801
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2802
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2803
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2804
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2805
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2806
 
2807
Minor changes:
2808
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2809
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2810
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2811
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2812
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2813
 
2814
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2815
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2816
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2817
 
2818
    * Linux support utilities
2819
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2820
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

2830
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2831
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.

      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2833
 
2834
Minor changes:
2835
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2836
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2837
 
2838
    * Utility: svnrelease
2839
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2840
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2841
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2842
 
2843
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2844
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2845
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2846
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2847
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2848
 
2849
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2850
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2851
 
2852
    * Utility: sandbox
2853
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2854
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2855
 
2856
      Subcommand: populate
2857
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2858
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2859
      sandbox.
2860
 
2861
    * Subversion Support
2862
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2863
      repository is not supported.
2864
 
2865
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2866
      a progress indication.
2867
 
2868
    * Jats Online Documentation
2869
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2870
      online documentation.
2871
 
2872
    * Generated makefiles
2873
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2950
Major changes:
2951
 
2952
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2953
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2954
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2955
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2956
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2957

2972
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2973
 
2974
    * Utility ccrelease
2975
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2976
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2977
 
2978
    * Utility: svn
2979
      Improved package import processing.
2980
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3008
Major changes:
3009
 
3010
Minor changes:
3011
    * Command: jats clobber
3012
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
3013
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
3014
 
3015
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
3016
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
3017
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
3018
 
3019
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
3020
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
3021
 
377 dpurdie 3022
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
3023
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
3024
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 3025
 
3026
    * jats svnlabel
3027
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
3028
 
3029
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
3030
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
3031
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
3032
 
3033
    * Built Daemon support
3034
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3035
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
3036

3039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3040
Major changes:
3041
    * GCC Toolset
3042
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3043
      New methodology is:
3044
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3045
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3046
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3047
        as the main binary.
3048
 
3049
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3050
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3051
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3052
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3053
      both worlds.
3054
 
3055
Minor changes:
3056
    * HTML Documentation
3057
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.

3067
Major changes:
3068
    * Jats Sandbox
3069
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3070
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3071
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3072
 
3073
    * RIORDS Platform
3074

3097
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3098
 
3099
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3100
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3101
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3102
      a vob.
3103
 
3104
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

3182
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
3183

3184
 
3185
Minor changes:
3186
    * HTML Help
3187
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3188
 
3189
    * jats build -noforce
3190
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3191
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3192
      be forced.
3193
 
3194
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3195
 
3196
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3197
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3198
 
3199
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3200
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3201
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3202
 
3203
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3204
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3205
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3206
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3207
 
3208
    * Utility: svnrelease
3209
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3210
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3211
 
3212
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3213
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3214
 
3215
    * Utility: svn
3216
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3217
      installed and can be used.
3218
 
3219
    * Toolset: CSharp
3220
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3221
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3222
      character.
3223
 
3224
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3225
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3226
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3227
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3228
      masking an error.
3229
 
3230
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3231
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3232
      enhancement.
3233
 
3234
    * Toolset: dafbr
3235
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3236
 
3237
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3238
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3239
        - Return correct path to package
3240
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3241
 
3242
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3243
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3244
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3245
 
3246
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3247
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3248
      packages.
3249
 
3250
    * make command: show
3251
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3252
      'jats make show' command.
3253
 
3254
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3255
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3256
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3257
 
3258
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3259
      executed on Unix machines.

3294
      the server by name, rather than IP address: 'frbesasvn01'
3295
 
3296
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3297
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3298
 
3299
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3300
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3301
      developers.

3318
 
3319
    * Utility: sandbox
3320
      New sub command - populate. Beta Release of this command
3321
      This sub command can be used to populate a sandbox with a specific package
3322
      and (optionally) its dependents, that (optionally) are not available
3323
      in a package archive.
3324
 
3325
      Sub command: create
3326
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
3327
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
3328
      package version.
3329
 
3330
      Command specific help
3331
      Each sub command now has its own help.

      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
3483
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
3484
 
3485
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
3486
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3487
      need toolset specific information.
3488
 
3489
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3490
 
3491
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );

Minor changes:
3620
    * Jats label command
3621
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3622
      Not recommended for general use.
3623
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3624
      directories within the current view.
3625
 
3626
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3627
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3628
      elsewhere.
3629
 
3630
    * Jats save_build
3631
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3632
      the determination of a branch.
3633
 
3634
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3635
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3636
 
3637
    * Jats build
3638
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3639
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3640
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3641
 
3642
    * Borland6 toolset
3643
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3644
      to match the documented install location of:
3645
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3646
 
3647
    * Jats build
3648
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3649
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3650
      This is a very quick operation.
3651
 
3652
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3653
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3654
 
3655
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3656
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3657
      files are only recreated if need be.
3658
 
3659
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3660
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3661
      make the package.
3662
 
3663
    * Jats sandbox
3664
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3665
 
3666
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3667
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3668
 
3669
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3670
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3671
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3672
      is performed.
3673
 
3674

3712
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3713
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3714
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3715
 
3716
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3717
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly

Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3740
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3741
Major changes:
3742
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3743
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3744
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3745
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3746
 
3747
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3748
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3749
 
3750
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3751
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3752
 
3753
      Examples:
3754
            jats upddep -show
3755
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3756
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3757
 
3758
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3759
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3760
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3761
 
3762
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3763
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3764
 
3765
Minor changes:
3766
 
3767
Internal changes:
3768
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3769
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3772
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3774
Major changes:
3775
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3776
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3777
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3778
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3779
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3780
      stream.
3781
 
3782
      Example:
3783
 
3784
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3785
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3786
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3787
                     );
3788
Minor changes:
3789
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3790
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3791
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3792
      directive.
3793
 
3794
    * GCC Toolkit
3795
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3796
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3797
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3798
      the point of termination.
3799
 
3800
    * Jats save_build utility
3801
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3802
      under windows.
3803
 
3804
    * Jats sandbox
3805
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3806
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3807
      in different sandboxes.
3808
 
3809
    * Jats release
3810
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3811

3814
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3815
Major changes:
3816
 
3817
Minor changes:
3818
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3819
      Added -locatedir=name
3820
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3821
      directory.
3822
 
3823
    * jats label utility
3824
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3825
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3826
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3827
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3828
 
3829
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3830

315 dpurdie 3833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3834
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3835
 
3836
Minor changes:
3837
    * WinCe Toolsets
3838
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3839
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3840
        noExceptions            - Disable
3841
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3842
      Example:
3843
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3844
 
3845
    * Solaris targets
3846
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3847
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3848
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3849
      machine type.
3850
 
3851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3852
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3854
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3855
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3856
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3857
      project files.
3858
 
3859
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3860
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3861
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3862
 
3863
Minor changes:
3864
    * Added more internal documentation
3865
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3866
 
3867
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3868
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3869
 
3870
    * Jats save_build utility
3871
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3872
      under windows.
3873
 
3874
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3875
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3876
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3877
      libraries.
3878
 
3879
    * Solaris builds
3880
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3881
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3882
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3883
      of the build failure.
3884
 
3885
 
3886
Internal changes:
3887
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3888
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3889
 
3890
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3891
      PkgArchive topics.

3895
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3896
Major changes:
3897
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3898
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3899
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3900
      existing 32-bit builds.
3901
 
3902
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3903
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3904
 
3905
Minor changes:
3906
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3907
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3908
 
3909
    * Package searching
3910
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3911
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3912
 
3913
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3914
 
3915
    * jats help
3916
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3917
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3918
 
3919
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3920
      with one of:
3921
        jats -h
3922
        jats help jats
3923
 
3924
Internal:
3925
    * cmdfile utility
3926
      Added macros:
3927
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3928
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3929
 
3930
      Corrected
3931
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3932
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3933
 
3934
      Extended
3935
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3936
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3937
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3938
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

3944
 
3945
Minor changes:
3946
 
3947
Internal changes
3948
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3949
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3950
      Useful side effects include:
3951
 
3952
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3953
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3954
 
3955
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3956
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3957
 
3958
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3959
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3960
        BuildPkgArchive
3961
 
313 dpurdie 3962
    * Perl Modules
3963
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3964
      release. This will:
3965
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3966
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3967
          reported by ERG.
3968
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3973
Major changes:
3974
 
3975
Minor changes:
3976
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3977
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3978
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3979
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3980
 
3981
    * Jats label utility
3982
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3983
 
3984
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3985
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3986
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3987
 
3988
    * Jats core
3989
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3990
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3991
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
4000
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
4001
      This is now fixed.
4002
 
309 dpurdie 4003
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 4004
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 4005
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 4006
 
4007
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4008
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
4017
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 4018
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 4019
      an error.
4020
 
4021
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 4022
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 4023
 
4024
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 4025
      Highly specialized directive.

4031
Major changes:
4032
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4033
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4034
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4035
 
4036
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4037
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4038
 
4039
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4040
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4041
      Support includes
4042
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4043
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4044
 
4045
Minor changes:
4046
    * Build file processing
4047
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4048
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4049
 
4050
    * MOS builds
4051
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4052
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4053
 
4054
    * MOS builds
4055
      New 'known' product: PICP
4056
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4057
 
4058
    * GenerateFiles directive
4059
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4060
        under windows.
4061
 
4062
        .
4063
 
4064
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4065
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4066
 
4067
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4068
      to the output stream.
4069
 
4070
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4071
 
4072
    * Windows Shell
4073
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4074
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4075
 
4076
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4077
 
4078
    * H8S toolset
4079
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4080
 
4081
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4082
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4083
 
4084
Internal changes
4085
    * WinCe builds
4086
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4087
      content of the file.
4088
 
4089
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4090
 
4091
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4092
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4108
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4109
      Changes are transparent to users.
4110
 
4111
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4112
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4113
      this occurs.
4114
 
4115
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4116
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4117
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4118
      automated build framework.
4119
 
4120
    * jats sandbox command
4121
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4122
      'create' command.
4123
 
4124
    * jats command aliases. Added
4125
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4126
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4127

4196
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4197
Major changes:
4198
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4199
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4200
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4201
 
4202
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4203
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4204
 
4205
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4206
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4207
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4208
           names cannot be changed.
4209
 
4210
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4211
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4212
 
4213
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4214
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4215
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4216
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4217
 
4218
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4219
      file.
4220
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4221
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4222
      MyPackage.dpk.
4223
 
4224
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4225
      file.
4226
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4227
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4228
      MyDll.dpr.
4229
 
4230
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4231
      file.
4232
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4233
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4234
      MyProg.dpr.
4235
 
4236
Minor changes:
4237
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4238
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4239
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4240
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4241
 
4242
    * BuildVersion directive
4243
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4244
      in a Delphi Unit.
4245
 
4246
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4247
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4248
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4249
      'know' the location of the files.
4250
 
4251
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4252
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4253
 
4254
Internal Changes:
4255
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4256
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4257
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4258
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4259
 
4260
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4261
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4262
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

4266
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4267
Major changes:
4268
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4269
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4270
      information for purely C++ builds.
4271
 
289 dpurdie 4272
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4273
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4274
 
289 dpurdie 4275
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4276
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4277
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4278
 
4279
Minor changes:
4280
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4281
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4282
 
4283
    * updatenodespec utility
4284
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4285
      Manager database.

4309
 
4310
Minor changes:
4311
    * MergeLibrary directive

4313
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.

      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4324
      used in the build.
4325
 
4326
    * Escrow command
4327
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4328
 
4329
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4330
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4331
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4332
 
4333
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4334
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4339
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4340
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4341
 
279 dpurdie 4342
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4343
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4344
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4345
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4346
 
4347
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4348
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4349
 
4350
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4351
 
4352
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4353
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4354
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4355
 
4356
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4357
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4358
        processed.
4359
 
4360
      Removed the '-delete' option
4361
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4362
 
277 dpurdie 4363
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4364
    * Sandbox command
4365
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4366
 
4367
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4368
      target from consideration in the build set.
4369
 
4370
    * MCR Toolset
4371
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4372
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4373
 
4374
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4375
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4376
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4377
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4378
 
4379
    * Jats run_test command
4380
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4381
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4382
 
4383
    * descpkg file
4384
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4385
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4386
 
4387
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4388
     Now contains build trace information
4389
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4390
 
4391
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4392
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4393
     it contains 'jar' files.
4394
 
4395
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4396
 
4397
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4398
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4399
 
4400
   * BuildVersion directive
4401
     Form:
4402
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4403
     now works as expected.
4404
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4405
 
4406
Internal Changes:
4407
 
4408
    * Error reporting mechanism
4409
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4410
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4411
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4421
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4422
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4423
    then starts.
4424
 
4425
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4426
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4427
 
4428
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4429
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4430
    non-platform option.
4431
 
279 dpurdie 4432
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4444
 
4445
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
4446
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4447
 
4448
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4449
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4450
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4451
 
4452
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4453
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4454
 
4455
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4456
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4457
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4458
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
4459
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4460
 
4461
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
4462
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4463
      to the invoked application.
4464
 
4465
Internal Changes:
4466
    * JatsCopy Package

      Added class to read in the parsed makefile.pl data for the current
4472
      build target.
4473
 
4474
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
4475

4596
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4597
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4598
 
4599
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4692
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4693
      programs.
4694
 
4695
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.

      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4766
      Previously was being done at two places
4767
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4768
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but

4830
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4831
 
4832
Minor changes:
4833
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4834
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4845
 
4846
      New platforms:
4847
        CSHARP2005
4848
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4849
         Support extends to allow:
4850
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4851
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4852
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4853
 
4854
        VS2005
4855
         Support extends to allow:
4856
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4857
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4858
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4859
 
4860
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4861
      through a version selector:
4862
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4863
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4864
 
4865
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4866
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4867
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4868
 
4869
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4870
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4871
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4872
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4873
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4874
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4875
          under VS2005.
4876
 
4877
Minor changes:
4878
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

    * PPC_603E Toolset
4883
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4884
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4885
 
4886
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4887
 
4888
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4889
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4890
 
4891
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4892
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4893
      a minimal value of perl.
4894
 
4895
      Removed excessive require statements.
4896
 
4897
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4898

4899
      Include JATS specific files for
4900
        1) Windows
4901
        2) Linux
4902
 
4903
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4904
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4905
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4906
      machines.
4907
 
4908
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4909
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4910
 
4911
    * JATS Environment
4912
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4913
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4914
 
4915
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4916
      wrapper scripts.
4917
 
4918
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4919
      Correct problem with location of build files.

4972
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4973
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4974
  * New toolset and platform
4975
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4976
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4977
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4978
    this platform.
4979
 
4980
Minor changes:
4981
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4982
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4983
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4984
    work.
4985
 
4986
  * Jats utility: release
4987
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4988
    published to dpkg_archive.
4989
 
249 dpurdie 4990
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4991
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4992
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4993
    supported for ANT builds.
4994
 
4995
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
4996
        releasemanager.releasename
4997
        releasemanager.projectname
4998
 
4999
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
5000
    tagged data item of the form
5001
 
5002
        releasemanager.releasename = value
5003
        releasemanager.projectname = value
5004
 
5005
  * Mug File Generation
5006
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
5007
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
5008
 
5009
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
5010
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
5011
    required.
5012
 
5013
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
5014
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
5015
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
5016
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
5017
    the files in order to use them.
5018
 
5019
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
5020
    locate the file.
5021
 
5022
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
5023
    to ensure backward compatibility.
5024
 
5025
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
5026
        * CSharp
5027
        * Properties
5028
        * WinRC
5029
 
5030
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
5031
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
5032
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5033
    Value is correctly assigned.
5034

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5038
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5039
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5040
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5041
 
5042
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5043
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5044
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5045
 
5046
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5047
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5048
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5049
 
5050
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5051
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5052
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5053
 
5054
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5055
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5056
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5057
    correct.
5058
 
5059
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5060
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5061
 
5062
Minor changes:
5063
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5064
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5065
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5066
 
5067
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5068
    This will simplify new user setup.
5069
 
5070
  * All Unix Toolsets
5071
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5072
    on unix systems
5073
 
5074
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5075
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5076
    on some Solaris Machines.
5077
 
5078
  * JATS -version=<version>
5079
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5080
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

5283
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5284
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5285
 
5286
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5287
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5288
 
5289
    * Jats wrapper
5290
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5291
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

Major changes:

    * Jats Release Mechanism
5298
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5299
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5300
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5301
 
5302
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5303
 
5304
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5305
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5306
 
5307
    * Running Jats
5308
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5309
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5310
      This may affect some windows developers.
5311
 
5312
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5313
      Future versions will generate an error.
5314
 
5315
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5316
 
5317
Minor changes:
5318
    * Perl Version Check
5319
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5320
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5321
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5322
 
5323
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5324
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5325
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5326
      build.
5327
 
5328
    * Jats Internals
5329
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5330
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5331
 
5332
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5333
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5334
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5335
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5336
      process.
5337
 
5338
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5339
      Only works under Windows.
5340
 
5341
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5342
 
5343
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5344
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5345
 
5346
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5347
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5348
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5349
 
5350
    * Jats eprog
5351
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5352
      directory.
5353
 
5354
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5355
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5356
      build metrics.
5357

5361
Major changes:
5362
 
5363
Minor changes:
5364
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5365
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5366
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5367
      automated build system. New options are:
5368
        -pname=Package_Name
5369
        -pversion=Package_Version
5370
 
5371
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5372
      transferring the package. New options are:
5373
        -test
5374
 
5375
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5376
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5377
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5378
 
5379
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5380
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5381
 
5382
    * Solaris Toolset
5383
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5384
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5385
      programs are still supported.

5390
Major changes:
5391
 
5392
Minor changes:
5393
    * WINCE toolsets
5394
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5395
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5396
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5397
      when header files cannot be found.
5398
 
5399
    * GenerateFiles directive
5400
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5401
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5402
      that are difficult to solve.
5403
 
5404
    * MakePerlModule directive
5405
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5406
      to the the module builder.
5407
 
5408
    * Jats Tool: label
5409
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5410
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5411
      -dirs=xxx options.
5412
 
5413
    * Jats Tool: release
5414
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5415
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5416
 
5417
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5418
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5419
 
5420
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5421
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5422
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5423
 
5424
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5430
Major changes:
5431
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5432
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5433
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5434
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5435
 
5436
Minor changes:
5437
    * label utility
5438
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5439
 
5440
    * make package and install operations
5441
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5442
      transfer.
5443
 
5444
    * make clean up
5445
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5446
 
5447
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5448
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5449
      minor file transformations such as:
5450
        Copy, with optional rename
5451
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5452
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5453
 
5454
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5455
 
5456
    * jats release utility
5457
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5458
      in place.
5459
 
5460
    * escrow utility
5461
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5462
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
5470
    * Makefile generation
5471
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5472
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5473
      generate phase early.

5478
Major changes:
5479
 
5480
Minor changes:
5481
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5482
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5483
 
5484
    * Makefile generation
5485
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5486
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5487
 
5488
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5489
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5490
 
5491
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5492
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5493
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5494
 
5495
    * jats_rewrite utility
5496
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5497
 
5498
    * jats escrow utility
5499
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5500
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5501
 
5502
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5503
      inconsistent packages.
5504
 
5505
    * jats make help
5506
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5507
      available within the current build.
5508
 
5509
    * jats makefiles
5510
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5511
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5512
 
5513
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5514
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5515
 
5516
    * gcc toolset
5517
      SharedLibries.
5518
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5519
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5520
 
5521
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5522
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5523
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5524
 
5525
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5526
        New options:
5527
            --MultiScan
5528
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5529
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5530
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5536
Major changes:
5537
 
5538
Minor changes:
5539
    PackageLib directive
5540
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5541
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5542
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5543
 
5544
    MakefileGenerate directive
5545
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5546
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5547
 
5548
    Multiple Parent detection
5549
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5550
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5551
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5552
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5553
 
5554
    Solaris Toolset
5555
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5556
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5557
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5558
    link.
5559
 
5560
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5561
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5562
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5563
 
5564
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5565
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5566
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5567
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5572
Major changes:
5573
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5574
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5575
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5576
 
5577
    Summary of changes:
5578
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5579
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5580
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5581
          flexibility.
5582
 
5583
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5584
 
5585
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5586
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5587
          interface directory and associated build information.
5588
 
5589
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5590
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5591
          than one second.
5592
 
5593
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5594
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5595
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5596
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5597
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5598
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5599
 
5600
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5601
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5602
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5603
 
5604
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5605
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5606
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5607
          building them.
5608
 
5609
        - Detection of build file changes
5610
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5611
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5612
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5613
 
5614
        - Quieter make output
5615
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5616
 
5617
 
5618
Minor changes:
5619
    MakeAnt Directive
5620
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5621
 
5622
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5623
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5624
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5625
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5626
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5627
 
5628
    CSHARP toolset
5629
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5630

5637
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5638
    are generated.
5639
 
5640
    MakeAnt
5641
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5642
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5643
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5644
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5645
 
5646
    MCR platform

Minor changes:
5656
    MakeAnt directive extended
5657
    New option: --PackageBase
5658
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5659
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5660
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5661
 
5662
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5663
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5664
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5665
        package image being created.

    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5685
 
5686
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5687
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5688
 
5689
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5690
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5691
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5692
 
5693
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5694
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5695
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5696
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
5697
         tar -xjf /net/auperaunx26/export/devl/dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots/

5723
Minor changes:
5724
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5725
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5726
 
5727
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5728
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5729
      last.
5730
 
5731
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5732
 
5733
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5734
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5735
 
5736
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5737
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5738
 
5739
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5740
 
5741
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5742
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5743
 
5744
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5745
 
5746
 
5747
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5748
           with the --System option
5749
 
5750
    * LMOS target platform
5751
      Includes LINUX_ETX

5756
Major changes:
5757
 
5758
Minor changes:
5759
    * Solaris Toolset
5760
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5761
      dependent packages.
5762
 
5763
    * RunTest operation
5764
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5765
 
5766
    * Csharp toolkit
5767
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5768

5770
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5772
Major changes:
5773
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5774
 
5775
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5776
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5777
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5778
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5779
      path.
5780
 
5781
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5782
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5783
      reproducible.
5784
 
5785
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5786
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5787
 
5788
      There are several aspects to the change
5789
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5790
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5791
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5792
 
5793
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5794
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5795
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5796
          controlled separately.
5797
 
5798
Minor changes:
5799
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5800
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5801
        Remove duplicates
5802
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5803

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5806
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5807
Major changes:
5808
 
5809
Minor changes:
5810
    * Makefile sanity test
5811
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5812
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5813
 
5814
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5815
      x86 machine.
5816
 
5817
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5818
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5819
 
5820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5821
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5822
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5823
Major changes:
5824
    * RunTest directive
5825
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5826
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5827
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5828
 
5829
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5830
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5831
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5832
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5833
 
5834
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5835
        builder within the current toolset.
5836
 
5837
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5838
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5839
 
5840
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5841
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5842
      containing the RunTest directive.
5843
 
5844
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5845
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5846
 
5847
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5848
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5849
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5850
 
5851
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5852
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5853
                            P or D suffix.
5854
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5855
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5856
 
5857
Minor changes:
5858
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5859
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5860
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5861
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5862
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5863
 
5864
    * Save Build Utility
5865
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5866
      used in a ripple build.
5867
 
5868
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5869
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5870
 
5871
    * Release Utility
5872
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5873
      when an error is encountered.
5874
 
5875
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5876
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5877
 
5878
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5879
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5880
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5881
 
5882
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5883
      before the makefiles are created.
5884
 
5885
    * TestProg directive
5886
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5887
 
5888
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5889
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5890

5894
Major changes:
5895
    * New build target
5896
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5897
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5898
 
5899
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5900
            DEVLINUX
5901
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5902
 
5903
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5904
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5905
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5906
 
5907
Minor changes:
5908
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5909
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5910
 
5911
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5912
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5913
 
5914
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5915
      and .cs files.
5916
 
5917
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5918
      thing.
5919
 
5920
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5921
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5922
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5923
      were it places temp files.
5924
 
5925
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5926
      interaction with other builds.
5927
 
5928
    * Release utility command
5929
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5930
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5931
      component in the clearcase tag name.

  * Deployment
5993
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
5994
 
5995
  * build.pl
5996
    Better error check on a packages version number.
5997
 
5998
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
5999
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
6000
 
6001
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
6002
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
6003
    build.
6004
 
6005
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
6006

6019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6020
Major changes:
6021
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
6022
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
6023
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
6024
 
6025
  * GenerateFiles
6026
    Added the options:
6027
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
6028
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
6029
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
6030
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
6031
 
6032
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
6033
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
6034
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
6035
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
6036
                                  required.
6037
 
6038
 
6039
Minor changes:
6040
  * GenerateFile directive
6041
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
6042
 
6043
  * GCC Toolset
6044
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
6045
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
6046
    be rebuilt.
6047
 
6048
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
6049
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
6050

6057
    environment variables.
6058
 
6059
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6060
            moved.
6061
 
6062
    This will affect users that:
6063
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6064
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6065
 
6066
        2) Use the ABT system
6067
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6068
           the required configuration
6069
 
6070
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6071
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6072
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
6073
    Windows
6074
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 6075
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
6076
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6077
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 6078
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 6079
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
6080
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6081
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6082
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.

6084
 
6085
  * New build platforms
6086
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6087
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6088
 
6089
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6090
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6091
 
6092
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6093
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6094
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6095
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6096
 
6097
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6098
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6099
    release.
6100
 
6101
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6102
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6103
 
6104
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6105
    need to be converted.
6106
 
6107
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6108
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6109
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6110
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6111
    used for different targets platforms.
6112
 
6113
  * Sandbox support
6114
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6115
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6116
 
6117
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6118
 
6119
Minor changes:
6120
 
6121
 
6122
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6123
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6125
Major changes:
6126
  * MakeAnt directive
6127
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6128
 
6129
    New options
6130
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6131
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6132
 
6133
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6134
    run_unit_tests phase.
6135
 
6136
  * Sandbox support
6137
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6138
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6139
 
6140
Minor changes:
6141
  * jats build
6142
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6143
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6144
 
6145
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6146
 
6147
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6148
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6149
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6150
 
6151
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6152
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6153
 
6154
  * JATS.BAT
6155
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6156
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6157
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6158
 
6159
  * jats label
6160
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6161
 
6162
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6163
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6164
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6165
Major changes:
6166
  * New build platform:
6167
        LMOS_TP5600
6168
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6169
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6170
 
6171
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6172
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6173
    describe the group of platforms.
6174
 
6175
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6176
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6177
    build these targets.
6178
 
6179
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6180
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6181
 
6182
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6183
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6184
 
6185
  * New build platform: WINCE
6186
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6187
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6188
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6189
 
6190
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6191
            WCEIT3000
6192
            WCEPA961
6193
            WCEPA962
6194
            WCEPCM7220
6195
            WCEPSION_420
6196
            WCEPSPC_arm
6197
            WCEPSPC_emu
6198
            WCEX86A420
6199
            WCEX86A500
6200
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6201
 
6202
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6203
 
6204
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6205
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6206
    that contain packaging directives.
6207
 
6208
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6209
    very unusual configurations.
6210
 
6211
Minor changes:
6212
  * Directive: PackageFile
6213
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6214
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6215
    an '='.
6216
 
6217
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6218
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6219
 
6220
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6221
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6222
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6223
 
6224
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6225
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6226
 
6227
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6228
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6229
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6230
Major changes:
6231
 
6232
  * JATS release command
6233
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6234
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6235
 
6236
    Rules are:
6237
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6238
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6239
                            File will be placed on a branch
6240
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6241
                            New directory will branch
6242
 
6243
Minor changes:
6244
  * JATS release command
6245
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6246
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6247
 
6248
  * JATS label command
6249
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6250
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6251
 
6252
  * JATS make
6253
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6254
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6255
    was re-packaged.
6256
 
6257
  * JATS escrow
6258
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6259
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6260
 
6261
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6262
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6263
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6264
 
6265
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6266
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6267
    interface directory.
6268
 
6269
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6270
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6271
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6272
    directory as seen by the package.
6273
 
6274
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6275
 
6276
  * JAVA 6
6277
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6278
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6279
 
6280
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6281
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6282
 
6283
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6284
 
6285
  * Jats command: vars
6286
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6287
    These indicate potential problems.
6288
 
6289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6290
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6291
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6292
Major changes:
6293
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6294
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6295
    libarry is also created.
6296
 
6297
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6298
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6299
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6300
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6301
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6302
    information contained within the file.
6303
 
6304
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6305
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6306
 
6307
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6308
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6309
 
6310
  * Building Perl Modules
6311
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6312
    documentation on the build machine.
6313
 
6314
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6315
 
6316
Minor changes:
6317
  * jats create_dpkg
6318
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6319
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6320
 
6321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6322
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6324
Major changes:
6325
  * JATS JAVA build target
6326
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6327
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6328
 
6329
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6330
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6331
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6332
    is then picked up as the default version.
6333
 
6334
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6335
    build.pl file.
6336
 
6337
Minor changes:
6338
  * jats release
6339
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6340
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6341
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6342
 
6343
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6344
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6345
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6346
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6347
    the name of the view.
6348
 
6349
  * GenerateFiles directive
6350
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6351
 
6352
  * MOS Toolset
6353
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6354
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6355
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6356
 
6357
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6358
 
6359
 
6360
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6361
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6363
Major changes:
6364
 
6365
Minor changes:
6366
  * JATS environment
6367
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6368
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6369
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6370
 
6371
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6372
 
6373
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6374
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6375
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6376
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6377
    to be packaged.
6378
 
6379
  * Generated makefiles
6380
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6381
 
6382
  * Generating MOS THX files
6383
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6384
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6385
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6386
 
6387
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6388
 
6389
  * JATS release
6390
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6391
 
6392
  * JATS extract
6393
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6394
 
6395
  * JATS Toolset
6396
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6397
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6398
 
6399
 
6400
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6401
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6402
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6403
Major changes:
6404
 
6405
Minor changes:
6406
  * jats label
6407
    Added a -vob=name option
6408
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6409
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6410
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6411
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6412
 
6413
    Added a -user=name option
6414
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6415
    label to the named user.
6416
 
6417
  * jats release
6418
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6419
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6420
 
6421
  * JATS build.pl
6422
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6423
    ie:
6424
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6425
 
6426
 
6427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6428
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6429
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6430
Major changes:
6431
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6432
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6433
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6434
    the makefile internals. ie:
6435
        --Var(BuildName)
6436
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6437
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6438
 
6439
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6440
 
6441
  * GenerateFiles
6442
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6443
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6444
 
6445
  * BuildPlatforms
6446
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6447
 
6448
Minor changes:
6449
  * GCC Toolset
6450
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6451
 
6452
Internal changes:
6453
  * GenerateFiles
6454
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6455
 
6456
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6457
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6458

6461
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6462
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6463
Major changes:
6464
  * Caching JATS
6465
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6466
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6467
 
6468
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6469
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6470
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6471
 
6472
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6473
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6474
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6475
 
6476
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6477
 
6478
Minor changes:
6479
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6480
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6481
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6482
 
6483
  * jats build
6484
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6485
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6486
    processed by the build.
6487
 
6488
  * jats build
6489
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6490
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6491
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6492
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6493
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6494
 
6495
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6496
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6497
    Path is not specified.
6498
 
6499
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6500
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6501
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6502
        --Dir=$Pinc
6503
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6504
 
6505
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6506
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6507
    Windows platform.
6508
 
6509
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6510
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6511
            by 'purecov.
6512
 
6513
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6514
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6515
 
6516
        - OPTIONS=purify
6517
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6518
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6519
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.

6523
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6524
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6525
Major changes:
6526
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6527
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6528
    Example:
6529
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6530
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6531
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6532
 
6533
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6534
    been determined.
6535
 
6536
Minor changes:
6537
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6538
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6539
    located at build-time.
6540
 
6541
  * Unix based systems
6542
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6543
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6544
 
6545
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6546
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6547
    driver being built.
6548
 
6549

6559
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
6560
 
6561
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
6562
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6563
 
6564
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6565
    dependancy information within a package.
6566
 
6567
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6568
    messages.

6576
 
6577
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6578
 
6579
    GenerateFiles.
6580
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6581
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6582
                      be run on every invocation.
6583
 
6584
 
6585
Minor changes:

6588
 
6589
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6590
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6591
  There are two mechanism:
6592
 
6593
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6594
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6595
 
6596
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6597
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6598
 
6599
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6600
  default.
6601
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6602
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

6608
  * SunWorks Toolset
6609
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6610
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6611
    It is based on machine type.
6612
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6613
 
6614
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6615
 
6616
Minor changes:
6617
  * Perl DBI interface
6618
    Removed the message showing database connection
6619
 
6620

6626
Major changes:
6627
  * GCC Toolset
6628
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6629
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset
6630

6631
 
6632
  * Added platforms
6633
    TP5600                  ( Expands to TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU )
6634
    TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6635
    TP5600_EMU
6636
 
6637
Minor changes:
6638
  * descpkg file reader
6639
    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6640
    field separator.
6641
 
6642
  * JATS eprog command
6643
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6644
 
6645
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6646
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6647
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6648
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6649
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6650
 
6651
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6652
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6653
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6654
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6655
 
6656
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6657
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

6667
 
6668
    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6669
 
6670
 
6671
Minor changes:
6672
  * JATS wrapper script
6673
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6674
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6675
    to setup links to system programs.
6676

6696
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6697
    Added CompileOptions
6698
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6699
        no_misalign         - Default
6700
 
6701
        multithread         - Default
6702
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6703
 
6704
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6705
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6706
 
6707

        debug_debuginfo
6716
 
6717
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6718
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6719
    Theses are:
6720
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6721
        SOLARIS_AMD
6722
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6723
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6724
 
6725
Minor changes:
6726
  * AT3232 toolset
6727
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6728
 
6729
  * Jats build

Minor changes:
6739
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6740
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6741
    messages
6742
 
6743
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6744
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6745
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6746
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6747

Major changes:
6752
 
6753
Minor changes:
6754
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6755
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6756
    library without creating the body of the library:
6757
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6758
 
6759
 
6760
  * MOS toolsets
6761
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6762
    library without creating the body of the library:
6763
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6764
 
6765
  * JATS BIN directories
6766
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6767
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6768
    using autoconf.
6769
 
6770
  * Generate directive
6771
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6772
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6773
 
6774
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6775

6789
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6790
Major changes:
6791
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6792
    Initial release.
6793
 
6794
  * Packaging directives
6795
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6796
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6797
 
6798
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6799
        SOLARIS
6800
        WIN32
6801
 
6802
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6803
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6804
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6805
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6806
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6807
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6808
 
6809
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6810
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6811
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6812
 
6813
 
6814
Minor changes:
6815
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6816
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6817
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6818
 
6819
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6820
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6821
    location
6822
 
6823
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6824
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6825
 
6826
  * Utility genrc
6827
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6828
 
6829
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6830
    Added option: -new
6831
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6832
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6833
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6834
 
6835
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6836
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6837
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6838
 
6839
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6840
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6841
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6842
 
6843
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6844
   features - in a uniform manner.
6845
 
6846
 
6847
Internal Changes:
6848
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6849
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6850
 
6851
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6852
        1) Platform information available at build time
6853
        2) Dynamic platform names
6854
 
6855
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6856
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6857
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6858
 
6859
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6860
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6861
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6862
 
6863
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6864
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6865
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6866
    needed.
6867
 
6868
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6869
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6870
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6871
    files from all of these.

6874
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6875
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6876
Major changes:
6877
 
6878
Minor changes:
6879
  * WinCE toolset
6880
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6881
 
6882
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6883
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6884
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6885
Major changes:
6886
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6887
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6888
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6889
 
6890
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6891
 
6892
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6893
    the operations.
6894
 
6895
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6896
 
6897
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6898
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6899
 
6900
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6901
 
6902
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6903
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6904
 
6905
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6906
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6907
    Extended the built-in help
6908
    Added useful error messages
6909
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6910
 
6911
  * WinCE toolset
6912
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6913
 
6914
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6915
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6916
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6917
 
6918
Minor changes:
6919
  * JATS wrapper script
6920
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6921
    the command line.
6922
 
6923
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6924
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6925
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6926
 
6927
Internal Changes:
6928
  * Common Error Reporting
6929
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6930
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6931
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6932
    level.
6933
 
6934
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6935
    displayed.
6936
 
6937
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6938
 
6939
  * Added JatsSystem module
6940
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6942
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6943
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6944
Major changes:
6945
 
6946
Minor changes:
6947
  * BR Compiler toolset
6948
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6949
    .def files to include other files.
6950
 
6951
  * IAR toolset
6952
    Added AT7272 support
6953
 
6954
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6955
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6956
 
6957
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6958
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6959
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6960
Major changes:
6961
 
6962
Minor changes:
6963
  * BR Compiler toolset
6964
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6965
    use.
6966
 
6967
 
6968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6969
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6970
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6971
Major changes:
6972
 
6973
Minor changes:
6974
  * Mictotec toolset
6975
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6976
    builds.
6977
 
6978
  * JATS Core
6979
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6980
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6981
    behaviour.
6982
 
6983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6984
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6986
Major changes:
6987
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6988
    Deployment package will be affected.
6989
 
6990
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6991
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6992
 
6993
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
6994
 
6995
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
6996
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
6997
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
6998
    packages.
6999
 
7000
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
7001
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
7002
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
7003
 
7004
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
7005
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
7006
 
7007
Minor changes:
7008
  * SubDir directive
7009
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
7010
    a directory from two different makefiles.
7011
 
7012
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
7013
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
7014
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
7015
    of the file usage.
7016
 
7017
  * New utility: jats_manifest
7018
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
7019
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
7020
 
7021
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
7022
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
7023
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
7024
 
7025
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
7026
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
7027
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
7028
    will execute a JATS extended command.
7029
 
7030
 
7031
Internal Changes:
7032
  * Code refactor
7033
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
7034
 
7035
  * Deployment utilities
7036
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
7037
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
7038
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
7039
    the module can locate the file.
7040
 
7041
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
7042
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
7043
 
7044
  * JATS core
7045
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
7046
 
7047
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
7048
 
7049
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
7050
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
7051
    through the use of environment variables.
7052
 
7053
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
7054
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
7055
 
7056
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
7057
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
7058
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7059
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7060
 
7061
  * Make environment
7062
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7063
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7064
 
7065
 
7066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7067
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7069
Major changes:
7070
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7071
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7072
 
7073
 
7074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7075
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7077
 
7078
Not Released.
7079
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7080
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7081
 
7082
 
7083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7084
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7086
Major changes:
7087
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7088
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7089
    radically replaced.
7090
 
7091
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7092
    Usage:
7093
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7094
 
7095
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7096
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7097
    this solution:
7098
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7099
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7100
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7101
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7102
 
7103
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7104
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7105
    order to work.
7106
 
7107
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7108
    reduced functionality.
7109
 
7110
 
7111
Minor changes:
7112
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7113
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7114
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7115
 
7116
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7117
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7118
    within the makefiles.
7119
        Options:
7120
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7121
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7122
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7123
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7124
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7125
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7126
        Useage:
7127
 
7128
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7129
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7130
 
7131
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7132
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7133
    is not in the current directory.
7134
 
7135
  * Jats Command: ant'
7136
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7137
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7138
 
7139
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7140
 
7141
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7142
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7143
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7144
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7145
 
7146
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7147
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7148
    Thus
7149
 
7150
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7151
 
7152
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7153
 
7154
 
7155

7156
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7157
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7158
Major changes:
7159
 
7160
Minor changes:
7161
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7162
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7163
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7164
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7165
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7166
 
7167
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7168
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7169
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7170
 
7171
Internal changes:
7172
  * JATS toolsets
7173
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7174
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7175
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7176
 
7177
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7178
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7179
 
7180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7181
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7182
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7183
Major changes:
7184
  * Jats command: etool
7185
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7186
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7187
 
7188
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7189
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7190
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7191
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7192
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7193
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7194
 
7195
Minor changes:
7196
 
7197
 
7198
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7199
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7201
Major changes:
7202
  * JATS environment variables
7203
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7204
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7205
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7206
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7207
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7208
 
7209
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7210
              Remote repository
7211
 
7212
    Added GBE_DPLY
7213
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7214
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7215
 
7216
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7217
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7218
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7219
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7220
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7221
 
7222
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7223
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7224
 
7225
 
7226
Minor changes:
7227
  * JATS utility: build
7228
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7229
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7230
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7231
 
7232
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7233
    Ensure label is not locked
7234
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7235
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7236
 
7237
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7238
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7239
    to a specific type of build.
7240
 
7241
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7242
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7243
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7244
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7245
 
7246
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7247
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7248
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7249
 
7250
  * JATS utility: release
7251
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7252
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7253
 
7254
  * JATS utility: label
7255
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7256
    when it is being created.
7257
 
7258
Internal Changes
7259
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7260
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7261
 
7262
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7263
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7264
 
7265
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7266
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7267
    different results.
7268
 
7269
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7270
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7271
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7272
 
7273
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7274
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7275
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7276
Major changes:
7277
 
7278
  * MCR toolset
7279
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7280
 
7281

Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7283
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7284
Major changes:
7285
  * WIN32 utilities
7286
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7287
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7288
 
7289
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7290
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7291
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7292
 
7293
Minor changes:
7294
  * BuildVersion
7295
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7296
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7297
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7298
 
7299
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7300
 
7301
  * Unix Builds
7302
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7303
    library or a shared library.
7304
 
7305
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7306
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7307
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7308
    start with 'lib'.
7309
 
7310
  * BuildPkgArchive
7311
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7312
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7313
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7314
 
7315
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7316
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7317
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7318
Major changes:
7319
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7320
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7321
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7322
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7323
    being manually maintained.
7324
 
7325
 
7326
Minor changes:
7327
  * MakeAnt directive
7328
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7329
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7330
    supports ANT builds.
7331
 
7332
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7333
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7334
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7335
 
7336
  * Label utility
7337
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7338
    files to be labeled.
7339
 
7340
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7341
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7342
    on Solaris.
7343
 
7344
  * Generated makefiles
7345
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7346
    nothing.
7347
 
7348
  * MOS Toolset
7349
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7350
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7351
    modules.
7352
 
7353
  * Utility: gen_cots
7354
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7355
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7356
 
7357
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7358
 
7359
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7360
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7361
 
7362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7363
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7365
Major changes:
7366
  None
7367
 
7368
Minor changes:
7369
  * DEVI addressed
7370
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7371
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7372
 
7373
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7374
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7375
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7376
 
7377
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7378
 
7379
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7380
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7381
 
7382
  * RunTest directive
7383
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7384
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7385
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7386
 
7387
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7388
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7389
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7390
    packaged under JATS
7391
 
7392
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7393
          supported within JATS.
7394
 
7395
  * Jats utility wrapper
7396
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7397
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7398
 
7399
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7400
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7401
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7402
 
7403
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7404
    Eg: jats ant
7405
 
7406
  * Jats utility wrapper
7407
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7408
 
5710 dpurdie 7409
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7410
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7411
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7412
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7413
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7414
 
5710 dpurdie 7415
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7416
    expect a build.pl file.
7417
 
7418
  * Jats utility wrapper
7419
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7420
 
7421
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7422
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7423
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7424
 
7425
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7426
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7427
 
7428
  * Build files
7429
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7430
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7431
 
7432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7433
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7434
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7435
Major changes:
7436
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7437
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7438
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7439
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7440
 
7441
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7442
 
7443
Minor changes:
7444
  * None
7445
 
7446
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7447
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7448
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7449
Major changes:
7450
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7451
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7452
    ie:
7453
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7454
 
7455
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7456
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7457
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7458
    environments are compatible.
7459
 
7460
 
7461
Minor changes:
7462
  * BuildName option
7463
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7464
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7465
 
7466
  * jats.bat
7467
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7468
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7469
 
7470
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7471
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7472
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7473
Major changes:
7474
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7475
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7476
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7477
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7478
 
7479
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7480
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7481
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7482
 
7483
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7484
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7485
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7486
 
7487
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7488
    transferred.
7489
 
7490
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7491
    See notes below.
7492
 
7493
  * WIN32 toolset
7494
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7495
    correctly.
7496
 
7497
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7498
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7499
 
7500
  * BuildVersion
7501
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7502
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7503
    other langauges as needed.
7504
 
7505
 
7506
Minor changes:
7507
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7508
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7509
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7510
    version strings.
7511
 
7512
  * GenerateFiles directive
7513
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7514
    package or an imported package.
7515
 
7516
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7517
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7518
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7519
 
7520
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7521
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7522
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7523
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7524
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7525
 
7526
Internal Changes
7527
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7528
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7529
    of utilities.
7530
 
7531
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7532
    functions.
7533
 
7534
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7535
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7536
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7537
Major changes:
7538
  * Generated makefiles
7539
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7540
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7541
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7542
 
7543
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7544
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7545
    incorrectly processing:
7546
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7547
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7548
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7549
    confused.
7550
 
7551
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7552
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7553
    The construct
7554
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7555
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7556
    then it works.
7557
 
7558
  * MakeAnt directive
7559
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7560
 
7561
    This option has the following effects
7562
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7563
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7564
 
7565
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7566
           early - in the generated files phase.
7567
 
7568
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7569
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7570
 
7571
 
7572
Minor changes:
7573
  * JATS post-installation script
7574
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7575
 
7576
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7577
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7578
    windows.
7579
 
7580
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7581
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7582
 
7583
  * Jats wrapper script
7584
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7585
        1) Contain spaces
7586
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7587
 
7588
  * Toolset
7589
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7590
 
7591
  * JAVA toolset
7592
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7593
    directive:
7594
 
7595
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7596
 
7597
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7598
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7599
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7600
 
7601
  * GCC Toolset
7602
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7603
 
7604
  * Makefile generation
7605
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7606
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7607
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7608
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7609
    package could not be used.
7610
 
7611
  * Unit Tests
7612
    The following environment variables are set:
7613
 
7614
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7615
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7616
 
7617
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7618
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7619
 
7620
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7621
 
7622
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7623
 
7624
 
7625
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7626
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7627
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7628
Major changes:
7629
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7630
 
7631
    Special features of this toolset.
7632
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7633
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7634
       incorporated within the target image.
7635
 
7636
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7637
       --Set=Name=Value
7638
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7639
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7640
 
7641
       --Ref=name
7642
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7643
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7644
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7645
                will be taken from the build version number.
7646
 
7647
Minor changes:
7648
  * MOS Toolset
7649
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7650
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7651
    packaged.
7652
 
7653
  * Src directive
7654
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7655
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7656
    specifier.
7657
 
7658
  * WIN32 runtime support
7659
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7660
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7661
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7662
 
7663
Internal:
7664
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7665
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7666
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7667
 
7668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7669
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7670
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7671
Major changes:
7672
    * BuildAlias directive
7673
      Added options.
7674
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7675
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7676
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7677
                          targets.
7678
      Eg:
7679
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7680
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7681
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7682
 
7683
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7684
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7685
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7686
 
7687
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7688
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7689
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7690
 
7691
 
7692
Minor changes:
7693
  * Label utility
7694
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7695
    build.pl file
7696
 
7697
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7698
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7699
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7700
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7701
    --FilterIn option.
7702
 
7703
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7704
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7705
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7706
 
7707
  * Location of descpkg file
7708
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7709
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7710
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7711

7713
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7714
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7715
Major changes:
7716
  * RunTest directive
7717
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7718
    Additional options
7719
      --CopyIn=file
7720
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7721
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7722
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7723
        the test area.
7724
 
7725
    Additional operations
7726
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7727
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7728
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7729
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7730
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7731
    Allows flags:
7732
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7733
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7734
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7735
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7736
 
7737
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7738
    existence is tested.
7739
 
7740
  * Packaging Directives
7741
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7742
    such as LMOS.
7743
 
7744
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7745
 
7746
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7747
 
7748
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7749
 
7750
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7751
 
7752
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7753
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7754
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7755
 
7756
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7757
 
7758
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7759
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7760
 
7761
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7762
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7763
 
7764
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7765
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7766
 
7767
Minor changes:
7768
  * Script directive
7769
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7770
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7771
 
7772
  * JATS environment
7773
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7774
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7775
    the JATS wrapper script.
7776
 
7777
  * Label utility
7778
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7779
    There are three modes of operation:
7780
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7781
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7782
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7783
 
7784
 
7785
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7786
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7787
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7788
Major changes:
7789
 
7790
Minor changes:
7791
  * label utility
7792
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7793
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7794
 
7795
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7796
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7797
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7798
      --ProgLoader=name
7799
 
7800
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7801
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7802
    Options to do this are:
7803
        --TreeDir=name
7804
        --FilterOut=regexp
7805
        --FilterIn=regexp
7806
        --StripDir
7807
 
7808
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7809
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7810
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7811
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7812
 
7813
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7814
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7815
 
7816
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7817
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7818
 
7819
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7820
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7821
 
7822
 
7823
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7824
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7826
Major changes:
7827
    * Make commands
7828
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7829
 
7830
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7831
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7832
 
7833
    * Label utility
7834
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7835
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7836
 
7837
Minor changes:
7838
    * Toolsets
7839
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7840
      variables and overrides.
7841
 
7842
      The make_init target is always run.
7843
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7844
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7845
 
7846
    * Deployment
7847
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7848
      with deployment operations.
7849
 
7850
    * Release utility
7851
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7852
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7853
      restricted by options within the build.
7854
 
7855
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7856
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7857
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7858
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7859
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7860
 
7861
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7862
      directives.
7863
 
7864
    * MakeProject directive
7865
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7866
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7867
 
7868
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7869
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7870
      is preserved.
7871
 
7872
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7873
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7874
      statements.
7875
 
7876
    * Mugfile generation
7877
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7878
      be placed in the target package.
7879
 
7880
 
7881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7882
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7883
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7884
Major changes:
7885
    * BuildVersion directive
7886
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7887
      number as well as a patch number.
7888
 
7889
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7890
      number.
7891
 
7892
Minor changes:
7893
    * AddFlags directives
7894
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7895
      duplicate flags being added.
7896
 
7897
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7898
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7899
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7900
 
7901
    * Mug File Generation
7902
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7903
 
7904
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7905
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7906
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7907
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7908
     directory.
7909
 
7910
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7911
     reproducible.
7912
 
7913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7914
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7915
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7916
Major changes:
7917
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7918
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7919
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7920
      longer a list of directories.
7921
 
7922
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7923
      done within the toolset.
7924
 
7925
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7926
 
7927
    * JATS environment variables
7928
      Redefined variable
7929
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7930
                          Previously was a list that included the
7931
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7932
 
7933
      New variable
7934
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7935
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7936
 
7937
 
7938
Minor changes:
7939
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7940
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7941
      target platforms to be extracted.
7942
 
7943
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7944
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7945
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7946
 
7947
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7948
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7949
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7950
 
7951
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7952
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7953
 
7954
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7955
      Support ANT based XML files
7956
 
7957
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7958
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7959
      structure.
7960
 
7961
    * makefile.pl's
7962
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7963
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7964
 
7965
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7966
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7967
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7968
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7969
 
7970
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7971
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7972
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7973
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7974
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7975
      -- Auto.
7976
 
7977
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7978
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7979
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7980
 
7981
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7982
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7983
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7984
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7985
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7986
 
7987
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7988
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7989
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7990
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7991
      installed on the machine.
7992
 
7993
    * WINCE Targets
7994
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
7995
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
7996
 
7997

8000
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
8001
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8002
Major changes:
8003
    * WIN32 platforms
8004
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
8005
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
8006
      and installed packages.
8007
 
8008
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
8009
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
8010
      create CV style debug information in the target.
8011
 
8012
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
8013
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
8014
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
8015
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
8016
      searched when looking for libraries.
8017
 
8018
Minor changes:
8019
    * GenerateFiles directive
8020
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
8021
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
8022
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
8023
                          and drive letter
8024
 
8025
    * Src directive
8026
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
8027
      directory of a package.
8028
 
8029
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
8030
 
8031
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
8032
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8033
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8034
 
8035
    * jats_rewrite utility
8036
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8037
 
8038
 
8039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8040
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8041
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8042
Major changes:
8043
    * SunWorks production builds
8044
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8045
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8046
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8047
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8048
      compiler documentation.
8049
 
8050
    * MOS Toolset
8051
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8052
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8053
 
8054
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8055
 
8056
Minor changes:
8057
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8058
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8059
      This should not affect current users.
8060
 
8061
    * Mugfile generation
8062
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8063
      specified.
8064
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8065
 
8066
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8067
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
8068
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8069
Major changes:
8070
    MOS Toolset
8071
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8072
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8073
 
8074
Minor changes:
8075
    * Jats wrapper script
8076
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8077
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8078
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8079
 
8080
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8081
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8082
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8083
      may be suspect.
8084
 
8085
    * GenerateFiles directive
8086
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8087
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8088
 
8089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8090
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8092
Major changes:
8093
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8094
      build.xml files.

8096
Minor changes:
8097
    * WIN32 toolset.
8098
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8099
 
8100
    * MakeAnt
8101
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8102
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8103
 
8104
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8105
 
8106
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8107
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8108
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8109
 
8110
    * MakeAnt directive
8111
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8112
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8113
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8114
 
8115
      Recommended usage:
8116
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8117
 
8118
Internal Changes
8119
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8124
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8125
Major changes:
8126
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8127
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8128
      files packaged into the release.
8129
 
8130

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8134
 
8135
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8136
      The recommended platform is:
8137
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8138
 
8139
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8140
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8141
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8142
      components.
8143

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8494
Major changes:
8495
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8496
      This is a WINCE target
8497
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8498
 
8499
    * New toolset
8500
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8501
 
8502
    * Modified toolset
8503
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8504
 
8505
    * Modified toolset
8506
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8507
 
8508
Minor changes:
8509
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8510
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8511
 
8512
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8513
 
8514
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8515
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8516
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8517
 
8518
      The change allows the construct
8519
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8520
      to be replaced by the simpler
8521
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8522
 
8523
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8524
      specified name.

8543
Version: JATS_2.20.0                                Released: 12-Apr-05
8544
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8545
Major changes:
8546
    * The "package.pl" file.
8547
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8548
      package name being taken from the build name
8549
 
8550
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8551
      package Build Name.
8552
 
8553
Minor changes:
8554
    * create_dpkg utility
8555
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

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

8923
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8924
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8925
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8926
Major changes:
8927
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8928
 
8929
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8930
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8931
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8932
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8933
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8934
 
8935
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8936
      operations.
8937
 
8938
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8939
 
8940
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8941
 
8942
Minor changes
8943
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8944
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8945
 
8946
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8947
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8948
      directory is not added to the library path.
8949
 
8950
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8951
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8952
 
8953
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8954
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8955
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8956
 
8957
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8958
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8959
      specific flags.
8960
 
8961
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8962
 
8963
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8964
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8965
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8966
 
8967
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8968
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8969
      JATS.
8970
 
8971
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8972
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8973
 
8974
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8975
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8976
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8977
 
8978
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8979
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8980
 
8981
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8982
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8983
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8984
 
8985
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8986
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8987
 
8988
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8989
 
8990
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8991
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8992
 
8993
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
8994
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
8995
      objects.
8996
 
8997
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
8998
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
8999
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
9000
      build defendants.
