    * Build Directives: BuildPlatforms and BuildProducts
802
        The --Uses=XXX and --Alias=XXX options support a comma and a colon 
803
        separated list. The colon seperated list will aviod parsing 
804
        confusion.
805

987
 
988
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
989
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
990
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
991
      build errors.
992
 
993
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
994
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
995
 
996
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
997
      Shorthand for
998
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
999
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
1000
 
1001
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
1002
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
1003
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
1004
      Examples: 
1005
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
1006
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
1007
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
1008
 
1009
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
1010
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
1011
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
1012
 
1013
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1014
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
1015
      build system.
1016
 
1017
Experimental:
1018
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
1019
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
1020
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

1026
 
1027
Minor changes:
1028
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
1029
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
1030
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

1034
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1035
 
1036
Minor changes:
1037
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
1038
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1039
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1040
 
1041
    * Build Files
1042
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1043
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1044
 
1045
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1046
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1047
 
1048
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1049
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1050
 
1051
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1052
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1053
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1054
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1055
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1056
 
1057
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1058
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1059
     different architectures.
1060
 
1061
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1062
     are directed to one or more machines.
1063
 
1064
     Intended uses:
1065
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1066
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1067
 
1068
       All: Specialized packaging.
1069
 
1070
    * Makefiles
1071
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1072
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1073
      Eg:
1074
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1075
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1076
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1077
      It could also have been written as:
1078
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1079
      but NOT as:
1080
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1081
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1082
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1083
 
1084
    * Utility: sandbox
1085
      Subcommand info 
1086
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1095
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
1096
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1097
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1098
 
1099
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1100
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1101
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1102
 
1103
    * GenerateFiles directive
1104
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
1105

1124
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1125
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1126
 
1127
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1128
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1129
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1130
      machine may build the toolset.
1131
 
1132
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1133
      platform.
1134

1151
      It is not used.
1152
 
1153
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
1154
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1155
 
1156
    * Utility: escrow
1157
      Added -skim option
1158
 
1159

1162
        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.
1163
 
1164
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1165
 
1166

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

Major changes:
1887
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1888
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1889
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1890
 
1891
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1892
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1893
      duplicates corrected.
1894
 
1895
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1896
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1897
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1898
 
1899
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1900
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1901
      displayed at the end of the build process.

Minor changes:
2129
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2130
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2131
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2132
 
2133
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2134
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2135
 
2136
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2137
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
2138
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
2139
 
2140
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
2428
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2429
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2430
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2431
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2432
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2433
 
2434
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2435

2446
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2447
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2448

2462
Major changes:
2463
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2464
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2465
      intended to build deployed software.
2466
 
2467
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2468
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2469
 
2470
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2471
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2472
 
2473
Minor changes:
2474
    * Jats wrapper script
2475
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2476
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2477
      Subversion instance of the command.
2478
 
2479
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2480
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2481
 
2482
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2483

2490
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2491
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2492
 
2493
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2494
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2495
 
2496
    * GCC Toolchain
2497
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

2514
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2515
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2516
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2517
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2518
 
2519
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2520
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2533
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2534
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2535
      line.
2536
 
2537

2549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2550
Major changes:
2551
 
2552
Minor changes:
2553
    * Jats Core
2554
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2555
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2556
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2557
 
2558
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2559
      Used only by the build daemons.
2560
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2561
 
2562
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2563
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports
2564
      branches that are more than a single subdirectory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2569
Major changes:
2570
 
2571
Minor changes:
2572
    * svnrelease utility
2573
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2574
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2575
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2576
 
2577
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2578
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2579
      the named tag.
2580
 
2581
    * svnrelease utility
2582
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2583
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

        Suppress the creation of versioned DLL for all Shared Libraries
2594
        covered by the makefile.
2595
 
2596
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2597
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2598
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2599
 
2600
    * ALL Toolsets
2601
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2602
 
2603
    * Utility vcsdiff
2604
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2605
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2606
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

Minor changes:
2614
    * Subversion Extraction
2615
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2616
      directory of the tag.
2617
 
2618
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2619
      repository.
2620
 
2621
    * Subversion Support
2622
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2623
      showing the user what to do.
2624
 
2625
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2626
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2627
      we have build support for this target.
2628
 
2629
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2630
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2631
 
2632
Internal:
2633
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2634
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2635

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2650
Major changes:
2651
 
2652
Minor changes:
2653
    * Makefile generation
2654
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2655
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2656
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2657
      of warnings.
2658
 
2659
    * Makefile Generation
2660
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
2661
 
2662

2429 dpurdie 2668
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2669
Major changes:
2670
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2671
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2672
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2673
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2674
 
2675
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2676
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2677
      windows path scheme.
2678
 
2679
Minor changes:
2680
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2681
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2682
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2683
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2684
 
2685
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2686
        jats make clobber
2687
      This operates as before.
2688
 
2689
    * Utility: escrow
2690
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2691
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2692
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2693
 
2694
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2695
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2696
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2697
 
2698
    * Utility: svn : url
2699
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2700
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2701
 
2702
    * Utility: svn : import
2703
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2704
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2705
 
2706
    * Subversion Support
2707
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2708
      showing the user what to do.
2709
 
2710
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2711
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2712
      repositories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2717
 
2718
Minor changes:
2719
    * Jats build
2720
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2721
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2722
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2723
 
2724
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2725
      command, with a sandbox.
2078 dpurdie 2726
 
2727
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages

2737
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2738
                 Can also display available branches.
2739
 
2054 dpurdie 2740
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

        * Extended the examples in the documentation
2746
 
2747
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2748
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2749
      Modified two options:
2750
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2751
                        The named branch must not exist
2752
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2753
                        The named branch must exist
2754
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2763
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2764
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2765
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2788
 
2789
Major changes:
2790
    * Jats Version Number
2791
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
2792
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2793
      significantly.
2794
 
2795

Major changes:
2806
    * Subversion support
2807
      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2808
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2809
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2810
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2811
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2812
 
2813
Minor changes:
2814
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2815
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2816
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2817
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2818
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2819
 
2820
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2821
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2822
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2823
 
2824
    * Linux support utilities
2825
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2826
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.
2827

2832
Major changes:
2833
    * Subversion Repository location
2834
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
2835
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2836
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2837
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2838
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2839
 
2840
Minor changes:
2841
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2842
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2843
 
2844
    * Utility: svnrelease
2845
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2846
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2847
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2848
 
2849
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2850
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2851
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2852
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2853
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2854
 
2855
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2856
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2857
 
2858
    * Utility: sandbox
2859
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2860
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2861
 
2862
      Subcommand: populate
2863
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2864
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2865
      sandbox.
2866
 
2867
    * Subversion Support
2868
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2869
      repository is not supported.
2870
 
2871
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2872
      a progress indication.
2873
 
2874
    * Jats Online Documentation
2875
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2876
      online documentation.
2877
 
2878
    * Generated makefiles
2879
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

2956
Major changes:
2957
 
2958
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2959
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2960
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2961
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2962
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.

2978
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2979
 
2980
    * Utility ccrelease
2981
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2982
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2983
 
2984
    * Utility: svn
2985
      Improved package import processing.
2986

3013
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3014
Major changes:
3015
 
3016
Minor changes:
3017
    * Command: jats clobber
3018
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
3019
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
3020
 
3021
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
3022
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
3023
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
3024
 
3025
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
3026
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
3027
 
377 dpurdie 3028
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
3029
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
3030
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 3031
 
3032
    * jats svnlabel
3033
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
3034
 
3035
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
3036
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
3037
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
3038
 
3039
    * Built Daemon support
3040
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3041
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
3042

373 dpurdie 3044
Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
3045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3046
Major changes:
3047
    * GCC Toolset
3048
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3049
      New methodology is:
3050
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3051
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3052
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3053
        as the main binary.
3054
 
3055
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3056
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3057
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3058
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3059
      both worlds.
3060
 
3061
Minor changes:
3062
    * HTML Documentation
3063
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
3064

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3073
Major changes:
3074
    * Jats Sandbox
3075
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3076
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3077
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3078
 
3079
    * RIORDS Platform
3080

3103
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3104
 
3105
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3106
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3107
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3108
      a vob.
3109

3190
 
3191
Minor changes:
3192
    * HTML Help
3193
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3194
 
3195
    * jats build -noforce
3196
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3197
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3198
      be forced.
3199
 
3200
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3201
 
3202
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3203
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3204
 
3205
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3206
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3207
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3208
 
3209
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3210
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3211
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3212
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3213
 
3214
    * Utility: svnrelease
3215
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3216
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3217
 
3218
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3219
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3220
 
3221
    * Utility: svn
3222
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3223
      installed and can be used.
3224
 
3225
    * Toolset: CSharp
3226
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3227
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3228
      character.
3229
 
3230
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3231
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3232
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3233
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3234
      masking an error.
3235
 
3236
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3237
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3238
      enhancement.
3239
 
3240
    * Toolset: dafbr
3241
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3242
 
3243
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3244
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3245
        - Return correct path to package
3246
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3247
 
3248
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3249
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3250
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3251
 
3252
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3253
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3254
      packages.
3255
 
3256
    * make command: show
3257
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3258
      'jats make show' command.
3259
 
3260
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3261
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3262
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3263
 
3264
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3265
      executed on Unix machines.

3302
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3303
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3304
 
3305
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3306
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3307
      developers.

3492
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3493
      need toolset specific information.
3494
 
3495
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
3496

      resulting in multiple builds.
3609
 
3610
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets

Minor changes:
3626
    * Jats label command
3627
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3628
      Not recommended for general use.
3629
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3630
      directories within the current view.
3631
 
3632
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3633
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3634
      elsewhere.
3635
 
3636
    * Jats save_build
3637
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3638
      the determination of a branch.
3639
 
3640
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3641
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3642
 
3643
    * Jats build
3644
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3645
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3646
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3647
 
3648
    * Borland6 toolset
3649
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3650
      to match the documented install location of:
3651
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3652
 
3653
    * Jats build
3654
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3655
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3656
      This is a very quick operation.
3657
 
3658
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3659
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3660
 
3661
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3662
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3663
      files are only recreated if need be.
3664
 
3665
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3666
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3667
      make the package.
3668
 
3669
    * Jats sandbox
3670
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3671
 
3672
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3673
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3674
 
3675
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3676
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3677
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3678
      is performed.
3679
 
3680

3718
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3719
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3720
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3721
 
3722
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3723
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly

3729
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3730
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3731
      directory tree.
3732
 
3733
    * New command: jats man
3734
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3735
 
3736
Internal changes:
3737
    * jats upddep
3738
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3739
 
3740
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3741
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined

323 dpurdie 3745
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3746
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3747
Major changes:
3748
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3749
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3750
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3751
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3752
 
3753
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3754
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3755
 
3756
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3757
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3758
 
3759
      Examples:
3760
            jats upddep -show
3761
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3762
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3763
 
3764
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3765
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3766
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3767
 
3768
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3769
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3770
 
3771
Minor changes:
3772
 
3773
Internal changes:
3774
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3775
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3778
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3779
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3780
Major changes:
3781
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3782
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3783
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3784
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3785
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3786
      stream.
3787
 
3788
      Example:
3789
 
3790
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3791
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3792
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3793
                     );
3794
Minor changes:
3795
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3796
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3797
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3798
      directive.
3799
 
3800
    * GCC Toolkit
3801
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3802
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3803
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3804
      the point of termination.
3805
 
3806
    * Jats save_build utility
3807
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3808
      under windows.
3809
 
3810
    * Jats sandbox
3811
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3812
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3813
      in different sandboxes.
3814
 
3815
    * Jats release
3816
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3817

3820
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3821
Major changes:
3822
 
3823
Minor changes:
3824
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3825
      Added -locatedir=name
3826
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3827
      directory.
3828
 
3829
    * jats label utility
3830
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3831
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3832
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3833
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3834
 
3835
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3836
 
3837

Version:  2.83.0000.cr                               Released: 20-Jan-10
315 dpurdie 3839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3840
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3841
 
3842
Minor changes:
3843
    * WinCe Toolsets
3844
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3845
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3846
        noExceptions            - Disable
3847
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3848
      Example:
3849
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3850
 
3851
    * Solaris targets
3852
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3853
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3854
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3855
      machine type.
3856
 
3857
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3858
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3859
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3860
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3861
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3862
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3863
      project files.
3864
 
3865
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3866
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3867
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3868
 
3869
Minor changes:
3870
    * Added more internal documentation
3871
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3872
 
3873
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3874
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3875
 
3876
    * Jats save_build utility
3877
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3878
      under windows.
3879
 
3880
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3881
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3882
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3883
      libraries.
3884
 
3885
    * Solaris builds
3886
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3887
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3888
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3889
      of the build failure.
3890
 
3891
 
3892
Internal changes:
3893
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3894
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3895
 
3896
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3897
      PkgArchive topics.

3901
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3902
Major changes:
3903
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3904
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3905
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3906
      existing 32-bit builds.
3907
 
3908
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3909
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3910
 
3911
Minor changes:
3912
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3913
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3914
 
3915
    * Package searching
3916
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3917
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3918
 
3919
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3920
 
3921
    * jats help
3922
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3923
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3924
 
3925
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3926
      with one of:
3927
        jats -h
3928
        jats help jats
3929
 
3930
Internal:
3931
    * cmdfile utility
3932
      Added macros:
3933
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3934
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3935
 
3936
      Corrected
3937
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3938
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3939
 
3940
      Extended
3941
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3942
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3943
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3944
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Major changes:
3950
 
3951
Minor changes:
3952
 
3953
Internal changes
3954
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3955
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3956
      Useful side effects include:
3957
 
3958
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3959
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3960
 
3961
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3962
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3963
 
3964
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3965
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3966
        BuildPkgArchive
3967
 
313 dpurdie 3968
    * Perl Modules
3969
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3970
      release. This will:
3971
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3972
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3973
          reported by ERG.
3974
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

3981
Minor changes:
3982
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3983
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3984
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3985
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3986
 
3987
    * Jats label utility
3988
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3989
 
3990
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3991
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3992
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3993
 
3994
    * Jats core
3995
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
3996
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
3997
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
4006
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
4007
      This is now fixed.
4008
 
309 dpurdie 4009
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 4010
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 4011
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 4012
 
4013
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4014
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
4023
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 4024
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 4025
      an error.
4026
 
4027
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 4028
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 4029
 
4030
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 4031
      Highly specialized directive.

4037
Major changes:
4038
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4039
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4040
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4041
 
4042
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4043
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4044
 
4045
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4046
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4047
      Support includes
4048
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4049
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4050
 
4051
Minor changes:
4052
    * Build file processing
4053
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4054
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4055
 
4056
    * MOS builds
4057
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4058
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4059
 
4060
    * MOS builds
4061
      New 'known' product: PICP
4062
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4063
 
4064
    * GenerateFiles directive
4065
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4066
        under windows.
4067
 
4068
        .
4069
 
4070
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4071
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4072
 
4073
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4074
      to the output stream.
4075
 
4076
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4077
 
4078
    * Windows Shell
4079
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4080
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4081
 
4082
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4083
 
4084
    * H8S toolset
4085
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4086
 
4087
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4088
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4089
 
4090
Internal changes
4091
    * WinCe builds
4092
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4093
      content of the file.
4094
 
4095
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4096
 
4097
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4098
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

Version:  2.79.5000.cr                               Released: 14-Sep-09
4109
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4110
Major changes:
4111
 
4112
Minor changes:
4113
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4114
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4115
      Changes are transparent to users.
4116
 
4117
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4118
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4119
      this occurs.
4120
 
4121
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4122
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4123
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4124
      automated build framework.
4125
 
4126
    * jats sandbox command
4127
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4128
      'create' command.
4129
 
4130
    * jats command aliases. Added
4131
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4132
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract
4133

4136
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4137
Major changes:
4138
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4139
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4140
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4141
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4142
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4143
      will work as expected
4144
 
4145
Minor changes:
4146
    * VS2008 Toolset
4147
      Picking up incorrect config details
4148
      May result in a warning message.
4149
 
4150
    * gen_cots utility
4151
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4152
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4153
 
4154
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4155
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
4156
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
4157

4172
    * DELPHI7 Toolset
4173
      Minor correction discovered during use.
4174
      Existing tools to create a .lib from .dll had serious path length issues
4175
      Extended the compiler search paths
4176
 
4177

289 dpurdie 4201
Version:  2.79.0000.cr                               Released: 10-Jun-09
4202
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4203
Major changes:
4204
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4205
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4206
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4207
 
4208
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4209
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4210
 
4211
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4212
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4213
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4214
           names cannot be changed.
4215
 
4216
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4217
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4218
 
4219
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4220
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4221
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4222
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4223
 
4224
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4225
      file.
4226
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4227
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4228
      MyPackage.dpk.
4229
 
4230
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4231
      file.
4232
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4233
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4234
      MyDll.dpr.
4235
 
4236
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4237
      file.
4238
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4239
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4240
      MyProg.dpr.
4241
 
4242
Minor changes:
4243
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4244
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4245
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4246
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4247
 
4248
    * BuildVersion directive
4249
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4250
      in a Delphi Unit.
4251
 
4252
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4253
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4254
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4255
      'know' the location of the files.
4256
 
4257
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4258
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4259
 
4260
Internal Changes:
4261
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4262
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4263
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4264
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4265
 
4266
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4267
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4268
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4269

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4272
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4273
Major changes:
4274
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4275
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4276
      information for purely C++ builds.
4277
 
289 dpurdie 4278
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4279
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4280
 
289 dpurdie 4281
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4282
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4283
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4284
 
4285
Minor changes:
4286
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4287
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4288
 
4289
    * updatenodespec utility
4290
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4291
      Manager database.

4304
      Remove warning created during normal operation
4305

    * New Platform: H400
4313
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
4314
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4315
 
4316
Minor changes:
4317
    * MergeLibrary directive
4318
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4319
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4320

Major changes:
4326
 
4327
Minor changes:
4328
    * New command: jats make show
4329
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4330
      used in the build.
4331
 
4332
    * Escrow command
4333
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4334
 
4335
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4336
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4337
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4338
 
4339
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4340
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4341
 
4342

277 dpurdie 4344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4345
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4346
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4347
 
279 dpurdie 4348
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4349
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4350
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4351
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4352
 
4353
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4354
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4355
 
4356
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4357
 
4358
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4359
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4360
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4361
 
4362
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4363
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4364
        processed.
4365
 
4366
      Removed the '-delete' option
4367
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4368
 
277 dpurdie 4369
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4370
    * Sandbox command
4371
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4372
 
4373
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4374
      target from consideration in the build set.
4375
 
4376
    * MCR Toolset
4377
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4378
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4379
 
4380
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4381
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4382
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4383
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4384
 
4385
    * Jats run_test command
4386
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4387
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4388
 
4389
    * descpkg file
4390
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4391
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4392
 
4393
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4394
     Now contains build trace information
4395
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4396
 
4397
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4398
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4399
     it contains 'jar' files.
4400
 
4401
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4402
 
4403
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4404
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4405
 
4406
   * BuildVersion directive
4407
     Form:
4408
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4409
     now works as expected.
4410
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4411
 
4412
Internal Changes:
4413
 
4414
    * Error reporting mechanism
4415
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4416
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4417
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4427
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4428
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4429
    then starts.
4430
 
4431
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4432
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4433
 
4434
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4435
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4436
    non-platform option.
4437
 
279 dpurdie 4438
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4450
 
4451
    * Jats Utility: dstatus
4452
      Limit display width of the build machine named to 20 characters
4453
 
4454
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4455
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4456
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4457
 
4458
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4459
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4460
 
4461
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4462
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4463
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4464
        GBE_MAKE_CMD                - Current make target
4465
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4466
 
4467
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
4468
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4469
      to the invoked application.
4470
 
4471
Internal Changes:
4472
    * JatsCopy Package

4474
      CopyDir now supports MatchDirs
4475
 
4476
    * JatsMakeConfig Package
4477
      Added class to read in the parsed makefile.pl data for the current
4478
      build target.
4479
 
4480
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
4481
      Export GBE_MAKE_* EnvVars to directly export the current makefile
4482
      environment.

4577
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
4578
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
4579
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

4602
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4603
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4604
 
4605
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4698
      invoked. This is faster assist it does not invoked three unneeded
4699
      programs.
4700
 
4701
    * Renamed jats_cbuilder tool to jats_ccrelease.

4752
      time.
4753
 
4754
    * JATS utility: CCdiff
4755

4771
      Isolated the detection process to one point.
4772
      Previously was being done at two places
4773
        - Within jmake - jats makefile supervisor
4774
        - Within the generated makefile. This is still present but
4775
          is suppressed if jmake is used to invoke the makefile.

4836
      as implemented by many Windows utilities.
4837
 
4838
Minor changes:
4839
    * JATS makefile generation: Provide case-corrected pathnames for
4840
      library and include files in dpkg_archive.

4850
      The product must be installed in its default location.
4851
 
4852
      New platforms:
4853
        CSHARP2005
4854
         Uses C# Framework Version 2.0.50727
4855
         Support extends to allow:
4856
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
4857
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4858
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
4859
 
4860
        VS2005
4861
         Support extends to allow:
4862
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
4863
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
4864
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
4865
 
4866
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
4867
      through a version selector:
4868
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4869
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4870
 
4871
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4872
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4873
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4874
 
4875
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4876
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4877
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4878
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4879
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4880
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4881
          under VS2005.
4882
 
4883
Minor changes:
4884
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

4886
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4887
 
4888
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4889
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4890
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4891
 
4892
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4893
 
4894
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4895
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4896
 
4897
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4898
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4899

4900
 
4901
      Removed excessive require statements.
4902
 
4903
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake

4905
      Include JATS specific files for
4906
        1) Windows
4907
        2) Linux
4908
 
4909
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4910
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4911
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4912
      machines.
4913
 
4914
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4915
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC

4919
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4920
 
4921
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4922
      wrapper scripts.
4923
 
4924
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4925
      Correct problem with location of build files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4979
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4980
  * New toolset and platform
4981
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4982
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4983
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4984
    this platform.
4985
 
4986
Minor changes:
4987
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4988
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4989
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4990
    work.
4991
 
4992
  * Jats utility: release
4993
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4994
    published to dpkg_archive.
4995
 
249 dpurdie 4996
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 4997
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
4998
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
4999
    supported for ANT builds.
5000
 
5001
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
5002
        releasemanager.releasename
5003
        releasemanager.projectname
5004
 
5005
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
5006
    tagged data item of the form
5007
 
5008
        releasemanager.releasename = value
5009
        releasemanager.projectname = value
5010
 
5011
  * Mug File Generation
5012
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
5013
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
5014
 
5015
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
5016
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
5017
    required.
5018
 
5019
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
5020
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
5021
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
5022
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
5023
    the files in order to use them.
5024
 
5025
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
5026
    locate the file.
5027
 
5028
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
5029
    to ensure backward compatibility.
5030
 
5031
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
5032
        * CSharp
5033
        * Properties
5034
        * WinRC
5035
 
5036
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
5037
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
5038
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5039
    Value is correctly assigned.

Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5045
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5046
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5047
 
5048
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5049
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5050
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5051
 
5052
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5053
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5054
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5055
 
5056
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5057
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5058
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5059
 
5060
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5061
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5062
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5063
    correct.
5064
 
5065
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5066
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5067
 
5068
Minor changes:
5069
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5070
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5071
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5072
 
5073
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5074
    This will simplify new user setup.
5075
 
5076
  * All Unix Toolsets
5077
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5078
    on unix systems
5079
 
5080
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5081
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5082
    on some Solaris Machines.
5083
 
5084
  * JATS -version=<version>
5085
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5086
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

5287
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5288
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5289
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5290
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5291
 
5292
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5293
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5294
 
5295
    * Jats wrapper
5296
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5297
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.

Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5303
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5304
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5305
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5306
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5307
 
5308
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5309
 
5310
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5311
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5312
 
5313
    * Running Jats
5314
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5315
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5316
      This may affect some windows developers.
5317
 
5318
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5319
      Future versions will generate an error.
5320
 
5321
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5322
 
5323
Minor changes:
5324
    * Perl Version Check
5325
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5326
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5327
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5328
 
5329
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5330
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5331
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5332
      build.
5333
 
5334
    * Jats Internals
5335
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5336
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5337
 
5338
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5339
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5340
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5341
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5342
      process.
5343
 
5344
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5345
      Only works under Windows.
5346
 
5347
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5348
 
5349
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5350
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5351
 
5352
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5353
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5354
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5355
 
5356
    * Jats eprog
5357
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5358
      directory.
5359
 
5360
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5361
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5362
      build metrics.
5363

5367
Major changes:
5368
 
5369
Minor changes:
5370
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5371
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5372
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5373
      automated build system. New options are:
5374
        -pname=Package_Name
5375
        -pversion=Package_Version
5376
 
5377
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5378
      transferring the package. New options are:
5379
        -test
5380
 
5381
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5382
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5383
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5384
 
5385
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5386
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5387
 
5388
    * Solaris Toolset
5389
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5390
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5391
      programs are still supported.

5396
Major changes:
5397
 
5398
Minor changes:
5399
    * WINCE toolsets
5400
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5401
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5402
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5403
      when header files cannot be found.
5404
 
5405
    * GenerateFiles directive
5406
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5407
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5408
      that are difficult to solve.
5409
 
5410
    * MakePerlModule directive
5411
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5412
      to the the module builder.
5413
 
5414
    * Jats Tool: label
5415
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5416
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5417
      -dirs=xxx options.
5418
 
5419
    * Jats Tool: release
5420
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5421
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5422
 
5423
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5424
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5425
 
5426
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5427
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5428
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5429
 
5430
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5436
Major changes:
5437
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5438
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5439
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5440
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5441
 
5442
Minor changes:
5443
    * label utility
5444
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5445
 
5446
    * make package and install operations
5447
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5448
      transfer.
5449
 
5450
    * make clean up
5451
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5452
 
5453
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5454
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5455
      minor file transformations such as:
5456
        Copy, with optional rename
5457
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5458
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5459
 
5460
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5461
 
5462
    * jats release utility
5463
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5464
      in place.
5465
 
5466
    * escrow utility
5467
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5468
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
5476
    * Makefile generation
5477
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5478
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5479
      generate phase early.

5484
Major changes:
5485
 
5486
Minor changes:
5487
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5488
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5489
 
5490
    * Makefile generation
5491
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5492
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5493
 
5494
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5495
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5496
 
5497
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5498
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5499
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5500
 
5501
    * jats_rewrite utility
5502
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5503
 
5504
    * jats escrow utility
5505
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5506
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5507
 
5508
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5509
      inconsistent packages.
5510
 
5511
    * jats make help
5512
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5513
      available within the current build.
5514
 
5515
    * jats makefiles
5516
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5517
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5518
 
5519
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5520
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5521
 
5522
    * gcc toolset
5523
      SharedLibries.
5524
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5525
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5526
 
5527
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5528
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5529
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5530
 
5531
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5532
        New options:
5533
            --MultiScan
5534
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5535
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5536
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5542
Major changes:
5543
 
5544
Minor changes:
5545
    PackageLib directive
5546
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5547
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5548
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5549
 
5550
    MakefileGenerate directive
5551
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5552
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5553
 
5554
    Multiple Parent detection
5555
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5556
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5557
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5558
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5559
 
5560
    Solaris Toolset
5561
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5562
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5563
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5564
    link.
5565
 
5566
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5567
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5568
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5569
 
5570
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5571
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5572
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5573
    file.

5578
Major changes:
5579
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5580
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5581
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5582
 
5583
    Summary of changes:
5584
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5585
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5586
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5587
          flexibility.
5588
 
5589
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5590
 
5591
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5592
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5593
          interface directory and associated build information.
5594
 
5595
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5596
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5597
          than one second.
5598
 
5599
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5600
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5601
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5602
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5603
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5604
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5605
 
5606
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5607
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5608
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5609
 
5610
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5611
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5612
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5613
          building them.
5614
 
5615
        - Detection of build file changes
5616
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5617
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5618
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5619
 
5620
        - Quieter make output
5621
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5622
 
5623
 
5624
Minor changes:
5625
    MakeAnt Directive
5626
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5627
 
5628
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5629
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5630
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5631
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5632
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5633
 
5634
    CSHARP toolset
5635
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5636

Minor changes:
5643
    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5644
    are generated.
5645
 
5646
    MakeAnt
5647
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5648
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5649
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5650
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5651
 
5652
    MCR platform
5653

Minor changes:
5662
    MakeAnt directive extended
5663
    New option: --PackageBase
5664
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5665
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5666
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5667
 
5668
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5669
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5670
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5671
        package image being created.

5690
    This is a non-backwardly compatibly release.
5691
 
5692
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5693
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5694
 
5695
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5696
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5697
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5698
 
5699
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5700
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5701
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
5702
    This should be extacted, as root, into / with the (one line) command
5703
         tar -xjf /net/auperaunx26/export/devl/dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots/

5729
Minor changes:
5730
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5731
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5732
 
5733
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5734
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5735
      last.
5736
 
5737
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5738
 
5739
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5740
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5741
 
5742
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5743
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5744
 
5745
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5746
 
5747
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5748
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5749
 
5750
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5751
 
5752
 
5753
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5754
           with the --System option
5755
 
5756
    * LMOS target platform
5757
      Includes LINUX_ETX

5762
Major changes:
5763
 
5764
Minor changes:
5765
    * Solaris Toolset
5766
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5767
      dependent packages.
5768
 
5769
    * RunTest operation
5770
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5771
 
5772
    * Csharp toolkit
5773
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5774

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5776
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5777
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5778
Major changes:
5779
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5780
 
5781
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5782
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5783
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5784
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5785
      path.
5786
 
5787
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5788
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5789
      reproducible.
5790
 
5791
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5792
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5793
 
5794
      There are several aspects to the change
5795
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5796
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5797
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5798
 
5799
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5800
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5801
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5802
          controlled separately.
5803
 
5804
Minor changes:
5805
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5806
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5807
        Remove duplicates
5808
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5809

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5812
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5813
Major changes:
5814
 
5815
Minor changes:
5816
    * Makefile sanity test
5817
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5818
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5819
 
5820
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5821
      x86 machine.
5822
 
5823
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5824
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5825
 
5826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5827
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5828
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5829
Major changes:
5830
    * RunTest directive
5831
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5832
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5833
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5834
 
5835
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5836
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5837
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5838
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5839
 
5840
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5841
        builder within the current toolset.
5842
 
5843
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5844
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5845
 
5846
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5847
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5848
      containing the RunTest directive.
5849
 
5850
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5851
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5852
 
5853
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5854
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5855
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5856
 
5857
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5858
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5859
                            P or D suffix.
5860
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5861
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5862
 
5863
Minor changes:
5864
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5865
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5866
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5867
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5868
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5869
 
5870
    * Save Build Utility
5871
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5872
      used in a ripple build.
5873
 
5874
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5875
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5876
 
5877
    * Release Utility
5878
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5879
      when an error is encountered.
5880
 
5881
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5882
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5883
 
5884
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5885
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5886
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5887
 
5888
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5889
      before the makefiles are created.
5890
 
5891
    * TestProg directive
5892
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5893
 
5894
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5895
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5896

5900
Major changes:
5901
    * New build target
5902
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5903
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5904
 
5905
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5906
            DEVLINUX
5907
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5908
 
5909
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5910
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5911
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5912
 
5913
Minor changes:
5914
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5915
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5916
 
5917
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5918
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5919
 
5920
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5921
      and .cs files.
5922
 
5923
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5924
      thing.
5925
 
5926
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5927
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5928
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5929
      were it places temp files.
5930
 
5931
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5932
      interaction with other builds.
5933
 
5934
    * Release utility command
5935
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5936
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5937
      component in the clearcase tag name.

5998
  * Deployment
5999
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
6000
 
6001
  * build.pl
6002
    Better error check on a packages version number.
6003
 
6004
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
6005
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
6006
 
6007
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
6008
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
6009
    build.
6010
 
6011
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
6012
 
6013
  * Tool: escrow
6014
     New features
6015
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
6016
     are not in the SBOM.
6017
 
6018
     Prune "patch" package versions.
6019

Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
6025
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6026
Major changes:
6027
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
6028
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
6029
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
6030
 
6031
  * GenerateFiles
6032
    Added the options:
6033
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
6034
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
6035
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
6036
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
6037
 
6038
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
6039
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
6040
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
6041
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
6042
                                  required.
6043
 
6044
 
6045
Minor changes:
6046
  * GenerateFile directive
6047
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
6048
 
6049
  * GCC Toolset
6050
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
6051
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
6052
    be rebuilt.
6053
 
6054
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
6055
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.

Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
6059
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6060
Major changes:
6061
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
6062
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
6063
    environment variables.
6064
 
6065
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6066
            moved.
6067
 
6068
    This will affect users that:
6069
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6070
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6071
 
6072
        2) Use the ABT system
6073
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6074
           the required configuration
6075
 
6076
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6077
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6078
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
6079
    Windows
6080
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 6081
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
6082
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6083
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 6084
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 6085
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
6086
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6087
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6088
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
6089
 
6090
 
6091
  * New build platforms
6092
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6093
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6094
 
6095
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6096
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6097
 
6098
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6099
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6100
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6101
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6102
 
6103
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6104
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6105
    release.
6106
 
6107
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6108
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6109
 
6110
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6111
    need to be converted.
6112
 
6113
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6114
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6115
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6116
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6117
    used for different targets platforms.
6118
 
6119
  * Sandbox support
6120
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6121
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6122
 
6123
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6124
 
6125
Minor changes:
6126
 
6127
 
6128
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6129
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6131
Major changes:
6132
  * MakeAnt directive
6133
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6134
 
6135
    New options
6136
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6137
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6138
 
6139
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6140
    run_unit_tests phase.
6141
 
6142
  * Sandbox support
6143
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6144
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6145
 
6146
Minor changes:
6147
  * jats build
6148
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6149
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6150
 
6151
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6152
 
6153
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6154
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6155
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6156
 
6157
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6158
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6159
 
6160
  * JATS.BAT
6161
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6162
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6163
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6164
 
6165
  * jats label
6166
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6167
 
6168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6169
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6170
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6171
Major changes:
6172
  * New build platform:
6173
        LMOS_TP5600
6174
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6175
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6176
 
6177
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6178
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6179
    describe the group of platforms.
6180
 
6181
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6182
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6183
    build these targets.
6184
 
6185
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6186
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6187
 
6188
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6189
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6190
 
6191
  * New build platform: WINCE
6192
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6193
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6194
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6195
 
6196
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6197
            WCEIT3000
6198
            WCEPA961
6199
            WCEPA962
6200
            WCEPCM7220
6201
            WCEPSION_420
6202
            WCEPSPC_arm
6203
            WCEPSPC_emu
6204
            WCEX86A420
6205
            WCEX86A500
6206
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6207
 
6208
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6209
 
6210
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6211
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6212
    that contain packaging directives.
6213
 
6214
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6215
    very unusual configurations.
6216
 
6217
Minor changes:
6218
  * Directive: PackageFile
6219
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6220
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6221
    an '='.
6222
 
6223
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6224
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6225
 
6226
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6227
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6228
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6229
 
6230
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6231
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6232
 
6233
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6234
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6235
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6236
Major changes:
6237
 
6238
  * JATS release command
6239
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6240
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6241
 
6242
    Rules are:
6243
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6244
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6245
                            File will be placed on a branch
6246
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6247
                            New directory will branch
6248
 
6249
Minor changes:
6250
  * JATS release command
6251
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6252
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6253
 
6254
  * JATS label command
6255
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6256
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6257
 
6258
  * JATS make
6259
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6260
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6261
    was re-packaged.
6262
 
6263
  * JATS escrow
6264
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6265
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6266
 
6267
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6268
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6269
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6270
 
6271
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6272
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6273
    interface directory.
6274
 
6275
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6276
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6277
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6278
    directory as seen by the package.
6279
 
6280
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6281
 
6282
  * JAVA 6
6283
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6284
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6285
 
6286
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6287
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6288
 
6289
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6290
 
6291
  * Jats command: vars
6292
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6293
    These indicate potential problems.
6294
 
6295
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6296
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6297
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6298
Major changes:
6299
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6300
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6301
    libarry is also created.
6302
 
6303
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6304
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6305
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6306
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6307
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6308
    information contained within the file.
6309
 
6310
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6311
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6312
 
6313
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6314
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6315
 
6316
  * Building Perl Modules
6317
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6318
    documentation on the build machine.
6319
 
6320
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6321
 
6322
Minor changes:
6323
  * jats create_dpkg
6324
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6325
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6326
 
6327
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6328
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6329
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6330
Major changes:
6331
  * JATS JAVA build target
6332
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6333
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6334
 
6335
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6336
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6337
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6338
    is then picked up as the default version.
6339
 
6340
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6341
    build.pl file.
6342
 
6343
Minor changes:
6344
  * jats release
6345
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6346
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6347
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6348
 
6349
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6350
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6351
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6352
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6353
    the name of the view.
6354
 
6355
  * GenerateFiles directive
6356
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6357
 
6358
  * MOS Toolset
6359
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6360
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6361
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6362
 
6363
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6364
 
6365
 
6366
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6367
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6369
Major changes:
6370
 
6371
Minor changes:
6372
  * JATS environment
6373
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6374
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6375
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6376
 
6377
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6378
 
6379
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6380
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6381
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6382
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6383
    to be packaged.
6384
 
6385
  * Generated makefiles
6386
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6387
 
6388
  * Generating MOS THX files
6389
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6390
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6391
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6392
 
6393
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6394
 
6395
  * JATS release
6396
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6397
 
6398
  * JATS extract
6399
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6400
 
6401
  * JATS Toolset
6402
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6403
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6404
 
6405

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6407
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6409
Major changes:
6410
 
6411
Minor changes:
6412
  * jats label
6413
    Added a -vob=name option
6414
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6415
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6416
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6417
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6418
 
6419
    Added a -user=name option
6420
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6421
    label to the named user.
6422
 
6423
  * jats release
6424
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6425
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6426
 
6427
  * JATS build.pl
6428
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6429
    ie:
6430
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6431

6434
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6436
Major changes:
6437
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6438
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6439
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6440
    the makefile internals. ie:
6441
        --Var(BuildName)
6442
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6443
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6444
 
6445
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6446
 
6447
  * GenerateFiles
6448
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6449
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6450
 
6451
  * BuildPlatforms
6452
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6453
 
6454
Minor changes:
6455
  * GCC Toolset
6456
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6457
 
6458
Internal changes:
6459
  * GenerateFiles
6460
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6461
 
6462
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6463
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6464
 
6465
 
6466
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6467
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6469
Major changes:
6470
  * Caching JATS
6471
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6472
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6473
 
6474
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6475
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6476
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6477
 
6478
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6479
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6480
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6481
 
6482
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6483
 
6484
Minor changes:
6485
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6486
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6487
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6488
 
6489
  * jats build
6490
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6491
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6492
    processed by the build.
6493
 
6494
  * jats build
6495
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6496
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6497
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6498
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6499
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6500
 
6501
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6502
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6503
    Path is not specified.
6504
 
6505
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6506
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6507
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6508
        --Dir=$Pinc
6509
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6510
 
6511
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6512
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6513
    Windows platform.
6514
 
6515
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6516
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6517
            by 'purecov.
6518
 
6519
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6520
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6521
 
6522
        - OPTIONS=purify
6523
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6524
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6525
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6526

6529
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6530
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6531
Major changes:
6532
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6533
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6534
    Example:
6535
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6536
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6537
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6538
 
6539
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6540
    been determined.
6541
 
6542
Minor changes:
6543
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6544
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6545
    located at build-time.
6546
 
6547
  * Unix based systems
6548
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6549
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6550
 
6551
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6552
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6553
    driver being built.
6554
 
6555

6568
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6569
 
6570

6571
    dependancy information within a package.
6572
 
6573
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6574
    messages.

6583
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6584
 
6585
    GenerateFiles.
6586
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6587
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6588
                      be run on every invocation.
6589
 
6590
 
6591
Minor changes:

6594
 
6595
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
6596
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6597
  There are two mechanism:
6598
 
6599
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6600
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6601
 
6602
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6603
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6604
 
6605
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6606
  default.
6607
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
6608
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program

6614
  * SunWorks Toolset
6615
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6616
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6617
    It is based on machine type.
6618
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6619
 
6620
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6621
 
6622
Minor changes:
6623

  * GCC Toolset
6634
    Altered the mechanism used to determine cross compilation
6635
    Extended the cross compilers that can be handled by the toolset

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6646
    field separator.
6647
 
6648
  * JATS eprog command
6649
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6650
 
6651
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6652
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6653
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6654
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6655
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6656
 
6657
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6658
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6659
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6660
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6661
 
6662
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6663
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6675
 
6676
 
6677
Minor changes:
6678
  * JATS wrapper script
6679
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6680
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6681
    to setup links to system programs.
6682

    Added CompileOptions
6704
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6705
        no_misalign         - Default
6706
 
6707
        multithread         - Default
6708
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6709
 
6710
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6711

        debug_debuginfo
6722
 
6723
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6724
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6725
    Theses are:
6726
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6727
        SOLARIS_AMD
6728
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6729
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6730
 
6731
Minor changes:
6732
  * AT3232 toolset
6733
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6734
 
6735
  * Jats build

Minor changes:
6745
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6746
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6747
    messages
6748
 
6749
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6750
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6751
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6752
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6753

Major changes:
6758
 
6759
Minor changes:
6760
  * WIN32 and WINCE 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 ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6764
 
6765
 
6766
  * MOS toolsets
6767
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6768
    library without creating the body of the library:
6769
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6770
 
6771
  * JATS BIN directories
6772
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6773
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6774
    using autoconf.
6775
 
6776
  * Generate directive
6777
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6778
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6779
 
6780
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6781

6795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6796
Major changes:
6797
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6798
    Initial release.
6799
 
6800
  * Packaging directives
6801
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6802
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6803
 
6804
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6805
        SOLARIS
6806
        WIN32
6807
 
6808
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6809
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6810
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6811
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6812
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6813
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6814
 
6815
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6816
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6817
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6818
 
6819
 
6820
Minor changes:
6821
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6822
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6823
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6824
 
6825
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6826
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6827
    location
6828
 
6829
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6830
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6831
 
6832
  * Utility genrc
6833
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6834
 
6835
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6836
    Added option: -new
6837
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6838
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6839
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6840
 
6841
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6842
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6843
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6844
 
6845
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6846
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6847
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6848
 
6849
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6850
   features - in a uniform manner.
6851
 
6852
 
6853
Internal Changes:
6854
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6855
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6856
 
6857
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6858
        1) Platform information available at build time
6859
        2) Dynamic platform names
6860
 
6861
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6862
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6863
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6864
 
6865
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6866
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6867
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.

6869
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6870
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6871
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6872
    needed.
6873
 
6874
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6875
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6876
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6877
    files from all of these.

Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6881
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6882
Major changes:
6883
 
6884
Minor changes:
6885
  * WinCE toolset
6886
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6887
 
6888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6889
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6890
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6891
Major changes:
6892
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6893
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6894
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6895
 
6896
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6897
 
6898
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6899
    the operations.
6900
 
6901
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6902
 
6903
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6904
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6905
 
6906
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6907
 
6908
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6909
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6910
 
6911
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6912
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6913
    Extended the built-in help
6914
    Added useful error messages
6915
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6916
 
6917
  * WinCE toolset
6918
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6919
 
6920
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6921
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6922
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6923
 
6924
Minor changes:
6925
  * JATS wrapper script
6926
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6927
    the command line.
6928
 
6929
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6930
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6931
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6932
 
6933
Internal Changes:
6934
  * Common Error Reporting
6935
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6936
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6937
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6938
    level.
6939
 
6940
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6941
    displayed.
6942
 
6943
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6944
 
6945
  * Added JatsSystem module
6946
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6947
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6948
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6949
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6950
Major changes:
6951
 
6952
Minor changes:
6953
  * BR Compiler toolset
6954
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6955
    .def files to include other files.
6956
 
6957
  * IAR toolset
6958
    Added AT7272 support
6959
 
6960
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6961
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6962
 
6963
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6964
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6965
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6966
Major changes:
6967
 
6968
Minor changes:
6969
  * BR Compiler toolset
6970
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6971
    use.
6972
 
6973
 
6974
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6975
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6977
Major changes:
6978
 
6979
Minor changes:
6980
  * Mictotec toolset
6981
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6982
    builds.
6983
 
6984
  * JATS Core
6985
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6986
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6987
    behaviour.
6988
 
6989
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6990
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6992
Major changes:
6993
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6994
    Deployment package will be affected.
6995
 
6996
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
6997
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
6998
 
6999
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
7000
 
7001
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
7002
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
7003
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
7004
    packages.
7005
 
7006
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
7007
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
7008
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
7009
 
7010
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
7011
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
7012
 
7013
Minor changes:
7014
  * SubDir directive
7015
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
7016
    a directory from two different makefiles.
7017
 
7018
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
7019
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
7020
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
7021
    of the file usage.
7022
 
7023
  * New utility: jats_manifest
7024
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
7025
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
7026
 
7027
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
7028
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
7029
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
7030
 
7031
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
7032
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
7033
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
7034
    will execute a JATS extended command.
7035
 
7036
 
7037
Internal Changes:
7038
  * Code refactor
7039
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
7040
 
7041
  * Deployment utilities
7042
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
7043
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
7044
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
7045
    the module can locate the file.
7046
 
7047
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
7048
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
7049
 
7050
  * JATS core
7051
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
7052
 
7053
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
7054
 
7055
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
7056
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
7057
    through the use of environment variables.
7058
 
7059
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
7060
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
7061
 
7062
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
7063
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
7064
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7065
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7066
 
7067
  * Make environment
7068
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7069
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7070
 
7071
 
7072
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7073
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7075
Major changes:
7076
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7077
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7078
 
7079
 
7080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7081
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7083
 
7084
Not Released.
7085
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7086
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7087
 
7088
 
7089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7090
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7092
Major changes:
7093
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7094
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7095
    radically replaced.
7096
 
7097
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7098
    Usage:
7099
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7100
 
7101
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7102
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7103
    this solution:
7104
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7105
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7106
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7107
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7108
 
7109
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7110
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7111
    order to work.
7112
 
7113
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7114
    reduced functionality.
7115
 
7116
 
7117
Minor changes:
7118
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7119
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7120
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7121
 
7122
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7123
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7124
    within the makefiles.
7125
        Options:
7126
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7127
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7128
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7129
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7130
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7131
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7132
        Useage:
7133
 
7134
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7135
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7136
 
7137
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7138
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7139
    is not in the current directory.
7140
 
7141
  * Jats Command: ant'
7142
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7143
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7144
 
7145
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7146
 
7147
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7148
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7149
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7150
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7151
 
7152
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7153
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7154
    Thus
7155
 
7156
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7157
 
7158
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7159
 
7160

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

Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7281
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7282
Major changes:
7283
 
7284
  * MCR toolset
7285
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7286
 
7287
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7288
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7290
Major changes:
7291
  * WIN32 utilities
7292
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7293
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7294
 
7295
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7296
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7297
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7298
 
7299
Minor changes:
7300
  * BuildVersion
7301
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7302
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7303
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7304
 
7305
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7306
 
7307
  * Unix Builds
7308
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7309
    library or a shared library.
7310
 
7311
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7312
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7313
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7314
    start with 'lib'.
7315
 
7316
  * BuildPkgArchive
7317
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7318
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7319
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7320
 
7321
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7322
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7323
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7324
Major changes:
7325
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7326
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7327
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7328
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7329
    being manually maintained.
7330
 
7331
 
7332
Minor changes:
7333
  * MakeAnt directive
7334
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7335
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7336
    supports ANT builds.
7337
 
7338
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7339
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7340
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7341
 
7342
  * Label utility
7343
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7344
    files to be labeled.
7345
 
7346
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7347
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7348
    on Solaris.
7349
 
7350
  * Generated makefiles
7351
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7352
    nothing.
7353
 
7354
  * MOS Toolset
7355
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7356
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7357
    modules.
7358
 
7359
  * Utility: gen_cots
7360
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7361
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7362
 
7363
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7364
 
7365
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7366
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7367
 
7368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7369
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7371
Major changes:
7372
  None
7373
 
7374
Minor changes:
7375
  * DEVI addressed
7376
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7377
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7378
 
7379
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7380
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7381
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7382
 
7383
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7384
 
7385
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7386
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7387
 
7388
  * RunTest directive
7389
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7390
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7391
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7392
 
7393
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7394
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7395
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7396
    packaged under JATS
7397
 
7398
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7399
          supported within JATS.
7400
 
7401
  * Jats utility wrapper
7402
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7403
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7404
 
7405
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7406
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7407
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7408
 
7409
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7410
    Eg: jats ant
7411
 
7412
  * Jats utility wrapper
7413
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7414
 
5710 dpurdie 7415
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7416
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7417
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7418
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7419
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7420
 
5710 dpurdie 7421
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7422
    expect a build.pl file.
7423
 
7424
  * Jats utility wrapper
7425
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7426
 
7427
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7428
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7429
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7430
 
7431
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7432
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7433
 
7434
  * Build files
7435
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7436
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7437

7439
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7440
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7441
Major changes:
7442
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7443
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7444
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7445
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7446
 
7447
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7448
 
7449
Minor changes:
7450
  * None
7451
 
7452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7453
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7455
Major changes:
7456
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7457
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7458
    ie:
7459
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7460
 
7461
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7462
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7463
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7464
    environments are compatible.
7465
 
7466
 
7467
Minor changes:
7468
  * BuildName option
7469
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7470
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7471
 
7472
  * jats.bat
7473
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7474
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7475
 
7476
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7477
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7478
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7479
Major changes:
7480
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7481
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7482
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7483
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7484
 
7485
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7486
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7487
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7488
 
7489
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7490
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7491
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7492
 
7493
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7494
    transferred.
7495
 
7496
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7497
    See notes below.
7498
 
7499
  * WIN32 toolset
7500
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7501
    correctly.
7502
 
7503
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7504
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7505
 
7506
  * BuildVersion
7507
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7508
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7509
    other langauges as needed.
7510
 
7511
 
7512
Minor changes:
7513
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7514
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7515
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7516
    version strings.
7517
 
7518
  * GenerateFiles directive
7519
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7520
    package or an imported package.
7521
 
7522
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7523
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7524
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7525
 
7526
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7527
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7528
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7529
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7530
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7531
 
7532
Internal Changes
7533
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7534
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7535
    of utilities.
7536
 
7537
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7538
    functions.
7539
 
7540
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7541
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7542
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7543
Major changes:
7544
  * Generated makefiles
7545
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7546
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7547
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7548
 
7549
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7550
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7551
    incorrectly processing:
7552
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7553
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7554
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7555
    confused.
7556
 
7557
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7558
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7559
    The construct
7560
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7561
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7562
    then it works.
7563
 
7564
  * MakeAnt directive
7565
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7566
 
7567
    This option has the following effects
7568
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7569
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7570
 
7571
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7572
           early - in the generated files phase.
7573
 
7574
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7575
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7576
 
7577
 
7578
Minor changes:
7579
  * JATS post-installation script
7580
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7581
 
7582
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7583
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7584
    windows.
7585
 
7586
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7587
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7588
 
7589
  * Jats wrapper script
7590
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7591
        1) Contain spaces
7592
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7593
 
7594
  * Toolset
7595
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7596
 
7597
  * JAVA toolset
7598
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7599
    directive:
7600
 
7601
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7602
 
7603
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7604
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7605
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7606
 
7607
  * GCC Toolset
7608
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7609
 
7610
  * Makefile generation
7611
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7612
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7613
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7614
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7615
    package could not be used.
7616
 
7617
  * Unit Tests
7618
    The following environment variables are set:
7619
 
7620
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7621
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7622
 
7623
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7624
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7625
 
7626
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7627
 
7628
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7629
 
7630
 
7631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7632
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7633
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7634
Major changes:
7635
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7636
 
7637
    Special features of this toolset.
7638
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7639
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7640
       incorporated within the target image.
7641
 
7642
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7643
       --Set=Name=Value
7644
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7645
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7646
 
7647
       --Ref=name
7648
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7649
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7650
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7651
                will be taken from the build version number.
7652
 
7653
Minor changes:
7654
  * MOS Toolset
7655
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7656
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7657
    packaged.
7658
 
7659
  * Src directive
7660
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7661
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7662
    specifier.
7663
 
7664
  * WIN32 runtime support
7665
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7666
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7667
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7668
 
7669
Internal:
7670
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7671
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7672
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7673
 
7674
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7675
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7677
Major changes:
7678
    * BuildAlias directive
7679
      Added options.
7680
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7681
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7682
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7683
                          targets.
7684
      Eg:
7685
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7686
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7687
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7688
 
7689
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7690
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7691
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7692
 
7693
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7694
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7695
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7696
 
7697
 
7698
Minor changes:
7699
  * Label utility
7700
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7701
    build.pl file
7702
 
7703
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7704
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7705
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7706
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7707
    --FilterIn option.
7708
 
7709
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7710
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7711
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7712
 
7713
  * Location of descpkg file
7714
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7715
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7716
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7717
 
7718
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7719
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7720
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7721
Major changes:
7722
  * RunTest directive
7723
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7724
    Additional options
7725
      --CopyIn=file
7726
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7727
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7728
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7729
        the test area.
7730
 
7731
    Additional operations
7732
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7733
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7734
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7735
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7736
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7737
    Allows flags:
7738
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7739
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7740
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7741
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7742
 
7743
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7744
    existence is tested.
7745
 
7746
  * Packaging Directives
7747
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7748
    such as LMOS.
7749
 
7750
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7751
 
7752
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7753
 
7754
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7755
 
7756
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7757
 
7758
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7759
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7760
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7761
 
7762
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7763
 
7764
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7765
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7766
 
7767
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7768
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7769
 
7770
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7771
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7772
 
7773
Minor changes:
7774
  * Script directive
7775
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7776
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7777
 
7778
  * JATS environment
7779
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7780
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7781
    the JATS wrapper script.
7782
 
7783
  * Label utility
7784
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7785
    There are three modes of operation:
7786
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7787
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7788
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7789

7791
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7792
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7794
Major changes:
7795
 
7796
Minor changes:
7797
  * label utility
7798
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7799
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7800
 
7801
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7802
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7803
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7804
      --ProgLoader=name
7805
 
7806
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7807
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7808
    Options to do this are:
7809
        --TreeDir=name
7810
        --FilterOut=regexp
7811
        --FilterIn=regexp
7812
        --StripDir
7813
 
7814
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7815
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7816
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7817
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7818
 
7819
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7820
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7821
 
7822
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7823
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7824
 
7825
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7826
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7827
 
7828
 
7829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7830
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7832
Major changes:
7833
    * Make commands
7834
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7835
 
7836
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7837
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7838
 
7839
    * Label utility
7840
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7841
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7842
 
7843
Minor changes:
7844
    * Toolsets
7845
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7846
      variables and overrides.
7847
 
7848
      The make_init target is always run.
7849
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7850
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7851
 
7852
    * Deployment
7853
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7854
      with deployment operations.
7855
 
7856
    * Release utility
7857
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7858
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7859
      restricted by options within the build.
7860
 
7861
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7862
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7863
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7864
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7865
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7866
 
7867
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7868
      directives.
7869
 
7870
    * MakeProject directive
7871
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7872
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7873
 
7874
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7875
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7876
      is preserved.
7877
 
7878
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7879
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7880
      statements.
7881
 
7882
    * Mugfile generation
7883
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7884
      be placed in the target package.
7885
 
7886
 
7887
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7888
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7889
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7890
Major changes:
7891
    * BuildVersion directive
7892
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7893
      number as well as a patch number.
7894
 
7895
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7896
      number.
7897
 
7898
Minor changes:
7899
    * AddFlags directives
7900
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7901
      duplicate flags being added.
7902
 
7903
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7904
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7905
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7906
 
7907
    * Mug File Generation
7908
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7909
 
7910
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7911
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7912
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7913
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7914
     directory.
7915
 
7916
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7917
     reproducible.
7918
 
7919
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7920
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7921
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7922
Major changes:
7923
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7924
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7925
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7926
      longer a list of directories.
7927
 
7928
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7929
      done within the toolset.
7930
 
7931
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7932
 
7933
    * JATS environment variables
7934
      Redefined variable
7935
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7936
                          Previously was a list that included the
7937
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7938
 
7939
      New variable
7940
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7941
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7942
 
7943
 
7944
Minor changes:
7945
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7946
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7947
      target platforms to be extracted.
7948
 
7949
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7950
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7951
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7952
 
7953
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7954
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7955
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7956
 
7957
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7958
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7959
 
7960
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7961
      Support ANT based XML files
7962
 
7963
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7964
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7965
      structure.
7966
 
7967
    * makefile.pl's
7968
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7969
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7970
 
7971
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7972
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7973
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7974
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7975
 
7976
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7977
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7978
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7979
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7980
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7981
      -- Auto.
7982
 
7983
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7984
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7985
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7986
 
7987
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7988
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7989
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7990
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7991
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7992
 
7993
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7994
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
7995
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
7996
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
7997
      installed on the machine.
7998
 
7999
    * WINCE Targets
8000
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
8001
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
8002
 
8003
 
8004
 
8005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8006
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
8007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8008
Major changes:
8009
    * WIN32 platforms
8010
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
8011
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
8012
      and installed packages.
8013
 
8014
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
8015
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
8016
      create CV style debug information in the target.
8017
 
8018
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
8019
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
8020
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
8021
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
8022
      searched when looking for libraries.
8023
 
8024
Minor changes:
8025
    * GenerateFiles directive
8026
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
8027
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
8028
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
8029
                          and drive letter
8030
 
8031
    * Src directive
8032
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
8033
      directory of a package.
8034
 
8035
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
8036
 
8037
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
8038
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8039
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8040
 
8041
    * jats_rewrite utility
8042
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8043
 
8044
 
8045
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8046
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8047
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8048
Major changes:
8049
    * SunWorks production builds
8050
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8051
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8052
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8053
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8054
      compiler documentation.
8055
 
8056
    * MOS Toolset
8057
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8058
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8059
 
8060
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8061
 
8062
Minor changes:
8063
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8064
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8065
      This should not affect current users.
8066
 
8067
    * Mugfile generation
8068
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8069
      specified.
8070
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8071
 
8072
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8073
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
8074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8075
Major changes:
8076
    MOS Toolset
8077
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8078
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8079
 
8080
Minor changes:
8081
    * Jats wrapper script
8082
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8083
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8084
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8085
 
8086
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8087
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8088
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8089
      may be suspect.
8090
 
8091
    * GenerateFiles directive
8092
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8093
      the pathname to the specified package.

Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8098
Major changes:
8099
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8100
      build.xml files.
8101
 
8102
Minor changes:
8103
    * WIN32 toolset.
8104
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8105
 
8106
    * MakeAnt
8107
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8108
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8109
 
8110
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8111
 
8112
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8113
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8114
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8115
 
8116
    * MakeAnt directive
8117
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8118
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8119
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8120
 
8121
      Recommended usage:
8122
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8123
 
8124
Internal Changes
8125
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8130
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8131
Major changes:
8132
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8133
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8134
      files packaged into the release.
8135
 
8136
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
8137

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8140
 
8141
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8142
      The recommended platform is:
8143
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8144
 
8145
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8146
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8147
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8148
      components.
8149
 
8150
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

8154
 
8155
Minor changes:
8156
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8157
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8158
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8159
      by the package to be accessed.
8160
 
8161
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8162
      application or visual studio.
8163
 
8164
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8165
      and the JATS Core path.
8166
 
8167
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8168
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8169
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8170
 
8171
    * MOS Toolset
8172
      Add support for the TPT device
8173
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8174
 
8175
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8176
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8177
 
8178
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8179
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8180
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8181
 
8182
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8183
 
8184
Internal Changes
8185
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8186
      in jats.pl
8187
 
8188
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8189
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8190
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8191
Major changes:
8192
    * JATS wrapper script
8193
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8194
 
8195
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8196
 
8197
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8198
 
8199
Minor changes:
8200
    * Deployment support
8201
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8202
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8203
 
8204
    * 'build'
8205
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8206
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8207
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8208
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8209
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8210
 
8211
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8212
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8213
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8214
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8215
                                      the link phase.
8216
 
8217
    * BuildPkgArchive
8218
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8219
      Previously these were ignored.
8220
      Minor code cleanup
8221
 
8222
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8223
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8224
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8225
 
8226
    * SOLARIS targets
8227
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8228
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8229
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8230
 
8231
    * MugFile generation
8232
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8233
      included in the final package.
8234
 
8235
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8236
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8237
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8238
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8239
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8240
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8241
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8242
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8243
 
8244
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8245
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8246
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8247
            --Option=(some_text)
8248
            --Option=[some_text]
8249
            --Option={some_text}
8250
 
8251
Internal Changes
8252
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8253
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8254
      code.
8255
 
8256

8257
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8258
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8259
Major changes:
8260
    * JATS wrapper script
8261
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8262
 
8263
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8264
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8265
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8266
      other components.
8267
 
8268
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8269
 
8270
    * JATS
8271
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8272
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8273
 
8274
    * Build operations
8275
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8276
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8277
      packages.
8278
 
8279
    * Make operations
8280
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8281
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8282
 
8283
Minor changes:
8284
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8285
      deployment builds.
8286
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8287
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8288
 
8289
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8290
 
8291
    * build.pl
8292
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8293
        processed. Allows
8294
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8295
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8296
        production.
8297
 
8298
    * MOS toolset
8299
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8300
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8301
 
8302
    * create_dpkg utility
8303
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8304
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8305
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8306
      progress of the build.
8307
 
8308
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8309
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8310
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8311
      system.
8312
 
8313
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8314
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8315
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8316
Major changes:
8317
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8318
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8319
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8320
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8321
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8322
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8323
 
8324
    * WCEX86A500 target
8325
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8326
 
8327
    * MOS Toolsets
8328
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8329
      the compiler.
8330
 
8331
    * RunTest directive
8332
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8333
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8334
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8335
 
8336
Minor changes:
8337
    * JATS BUILD
8338
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8339
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8340
      highlight bad settings.
8341
 
8342
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8343
      access to extensions.
8344
 
8345
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8346
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8347
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8348
Major changes:
8349
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8350
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8351
 
8352
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8353
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8354
      under unix.
8355
 
8356
Minor changes:
8357
    * label utility
8358
      Added options to:
8359
        o Delete a label
8360
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8361
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8362
 
8363
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8364
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8365
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8366
      Package directives.
8367
 
8368
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8369
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8370
      system.
8371
 
8372
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8373
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8374
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8375
Major changes:
8376
    * MOS Toolset
8377
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8378
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8379
 
8380
    * WIN32 Toolset
8381
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8382
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8383
      list.
8384
 
8385
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8386
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8387
 
8388
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8389
 
8390
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8391
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8392
 
8393
 
8394
Minor changes:
8395
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8396
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8397
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8398
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8399
      corrected.
8400
 
8401
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8402
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8403
 
8404
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8405
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8406
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8407
 
8408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8409
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8411
Major changes:
8412
    * WIN32 Toolset
8413
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8414
      use with multithreaded modes.
8415
 
8416
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8417
      --OnlyProd.
8418
 
8419
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8420
      within the makefile.pl.
8421
 
8422
Minor changes:
8423
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8424
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8425
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8426
      platforms.
8427
 
8428
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8429
 
8430
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8431
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8432
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8433
Major changes:
8434
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8435
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8436
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8437
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8438
 
8439
    * Preliminary Support
8440
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8441
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8442
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8443
 
8444
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8445
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8446
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8447
 
8448
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8449
      building. The default build will build both.
8450
 
8451
Minor changes:
8452
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8453
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8454
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8455
 
8456
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8457
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8458
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8459
 
8460
 
8461
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8462
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8463
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8464
Major changes:
8465
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8466
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8467
      or all.
8468
 
8469
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8470
      the library or program.
8471
 
8472
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8473
 
8474
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8475
      library or any debug files.
8476
 
8477
    * GenerateFiles
8478
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8479
 
8480
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8481
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8482
 
8483
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8484
              The filename of the prereq file
8485
 
8486
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8487
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8488
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8489
 
8490
 
8491
Minor changes:
8492
    * create_dpkg utility
8493
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8494
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8495
      the package has been altered.

8500
Major changes:
8501
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8502
      This is a WINCE target
8503
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8504
 
8505
    * New toolset
8506
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8507
 
8508
    * Modified toolset
8509
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8510
 
8511
    * Modified toolset
8512
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8513
 
8514
Minor changes:
8515
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8516
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8517
 
8518
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8519
 
8520
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8521
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8522
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8523
 
8524
      The change allows the construct
8525
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8526
      to be replaced by the simpler
8527
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8528
 
8529
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8530
      specified name.

8550
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8551
Major changes:
8552
    * The "package.pl" file.
8553
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8554
      package name being taken from the build name
8555
 
8556
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8557
      package Build Name.
8558
 
8559
Minor changes:
8560
    * create_dpkg utility
8561
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists

8566
Major changes:
8567
 
8568
Minor changes:
8569
    * Dependancy generator
8570
      Correct two common situations
8571
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8572
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8573
           ansi, but is often done.
8574
 
8575
    * GCC toolset
8576
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8577
      being created in the correct place.
8578
 
8579
    * jats "label"
8580
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8581
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8582
 
8583
 
8584
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8585
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8586
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8587
Major changes:
8588
 
8589
Minor changes:
8590
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8591
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8592
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8593
 
8594
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8595
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8596
 
8597
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8598
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8599
      package was not being transferred.
8600
 
8601
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8602
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8603
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8604
Major changes:
8605
    * Support for solaris_i386
8606
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8607
      binaries for this target.
8608
 
8609
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8610
      with the GCC compiler.
8611
 
8612
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8613
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8614
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8615
 
8616
Minor changes:
8617
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8618
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8619
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8620
 
8621
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8622
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8623
 
8624
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8625
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8626
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8627
Major changes:
8628
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8629
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8630
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8631
 
8632
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8633
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8634
 
8635
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8636
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8637
      with either " or ' characters.
8638
 
8639
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8640
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8641
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8642
 
8643
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8644
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8645
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8646
 
8647
    * Jats wrapper
8648
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8649
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8650
      further commands.
8651
 
8652
Minor changes:
8653
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8654
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8655
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8656
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8657
 
8658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8659
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8661
Major changes:
8662
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8663
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8664
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8665
 
8666
      These options operation affect all components within the
8667
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8668
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8669
 
8670
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8671
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8672
 
8673
Minor changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8676
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8677
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8678
Major changes:
8679
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8680
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8681
 
8682
Minor changes:
8683
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8684
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8685
 
8686
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8687
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8688
 
8689
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8690
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8691
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8692
Major changes:
8693
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8694
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8695
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8696
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8697
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8698
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8699
      installed.
8700
 
8701
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8702
      libraries that depend on each other.
8703
 
8704
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8705
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8706
 
8707
Minor changes:
8708
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8709
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8710
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8711
 
8712
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8713
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8714
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8715
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8716
 
8717
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8718
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8719
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8720
Major changes:
8721
 
8722
Minor changes:
8723
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8724
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8725
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8726
      file.
8727
 
8728
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8729
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8730
 
8731
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8732
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8733
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8734
 
8735
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8736
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8737
 
8738
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8739
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8740
 
8741
    * WinCE toolsets
8742
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8743
      compiler specific libraries.
8744
 
8745
    * SOLARIS toolset
8746
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8747
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8748
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8749
 
8750
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8751
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8752
      cleaned up.
8753
 
8754
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8755
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8756
 
8757
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8758
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8759
      with either " or ' characters.
8760

Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8764
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8765
Major changes:
8766
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8767
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8768
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8769
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8770
 
8771
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8772
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8773
 
8774
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8775
      user.
8776
 
8777
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8778
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8779
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8780
 
8781
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8782
      for the   -Gf option.
8783
 
8784
Minor changes:
8785
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8786
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8787
 
8788
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8789
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8790
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8791
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8792
 
8793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8794
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8796
Major changes:
8797
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8798
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8799
 
8800
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8801
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8802
      data addresses for the board.
8803
 
8804
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8805
 
8806
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8807
 
8808
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8809
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8810
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8811
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8812
         PackageFile
8813
 
8814
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8815
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8816
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8817
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8818
 
8819
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8820
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8821
      to be installed and packaged.
8822
 
8823
Minor changes:
8824
 
8825
    * cache_dpkg utility
8826
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8827
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8828
 
8829
    * label utility
8830
      New option -auto to create and label
8831
 
8832
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8833
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8834
 
8835
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8836
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8837
      directory. ie:
8838
 
8839
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8840
 
8841
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8842
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8843
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8844
 
8845
 
8846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8847
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8849
Major changes:
8850
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8851
 
8852
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8853
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8854
 
8855
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8856
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8857
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8858
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8859
 
8860
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8861
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8862
      compilation.
8863
 
8864
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8865
 
8866
Minor changes:
8867
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8868
      one is being produced.
8869
 
8870
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8871
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8872
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8873
 
8874
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8875
 
8876
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8877
 
8878
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8879
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.

8885
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8886
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8887
 
8888
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8889
 
8890
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8891
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8892
      same directory
8893
 
8894
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8895
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8896
      documenattion.
8897
 
8898
Minor changes:
8899
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8900
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8901
 
8902
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8903
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8904
 
8905
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8906
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8907
 
8908
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8909
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8910
 
8911
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8912
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8913
      be exempt from this test.
8914
 
8915
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8916
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8917
 
8918
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8919
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8920
 
8921
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8922
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8923
      does.
8924
 
8925
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8926
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8927

8930
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8931
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8932
Major changes:
8933
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8934
 
8935
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8936
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8937
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8938
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8939
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8940
 
8941
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8942
      operations.
8943
 
8944
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8945
 
8946
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8947
 
8948
Minor changes
8949
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8950
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8951
 
8952
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8953
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8954
      directory is not added to the library path.
8955
 
8956
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8957
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8958
 
8959
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8960
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8961
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8962
 
8963
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8964
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8965
      specific flags.
8966
 
8967
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8968
 
8969
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8970
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8971
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8972
 
8973
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8974
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8975
      JATS.
8976
 
8977
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8978
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8979
 
8980
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8981
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8982
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8983
 
8984
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8985
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8986
 
8987
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8988
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8989
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8990
 
8991
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8992
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8993
 
8994
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
8995
 
8996
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
8997
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
8998
 
8999
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
9000
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
9001
      objects.
9002
 
9003
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
9004
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
9005
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
9006
      build defendants.
