807
        The --Uses=XXX and --Alias=XXX options support a comma and a colon 
808
        separated list. The colon seperated list will aviod parsing 
809
        confusion.
810
 
811
        The following all have the same effect:
812

992
 
993
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
994
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
995
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
996
      build errors.
997
 
998
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
999
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
1000
 
1001
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
1002
      Shorthand for
1003
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
1004
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
1005
 
1006
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
1007
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
1008
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
1009
      Examples: 
1010
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
1011
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
1012
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
1013
 
1014
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
1015
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
1016
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
1017
 
1018
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1019
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
1020
      build system.
1021
 
1022
Experimental:
1023
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
1024
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
1025
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1031
 
1032
Minor changes:
1033
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
1034
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
1035
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
1036
 
1037

1038
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
1039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1040
 
1041
Minor changes:
1042
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
1043
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1044
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1045
 
1046
    * Build Files
1047
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1048
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1049
 
1050
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1051
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1052
 
1053
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1054
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1055
 
1056
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1057
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1058
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1059
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1060
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1061
 
1062
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1063
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1064
     different architectures.
1065
 
1066
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1067
     are directed to one or more machines.
1068
 
1069
     Intended uses:
1070
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1071
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1072
 
1073
       All: Specialized packaging.
1074
 
1075
    * Makefiles
1076
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1077
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1078
      Eg:
1079
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1080
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1081
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1082
      It could also have been written as:
1083
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1084
      but NOT as:
1085
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1086
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1087
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1088
 
1089
    * Utility: sandbox
1090
      Subcommand info 
1091
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1101
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1102
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1103
 
1104
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1105
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1106
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1107
 
1108
    * GenerateFiles directive
1109
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
1110

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1130
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1131
 
1132
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1133
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1134
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1135
      machine may build the toolset.
1136
 
1137
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1138
      platform.
1139

1156
      It is not used.
1157
 
1158
      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when
1159
      the build system is split across multiple machines.
1160
 
1161
    * Utility: escrow
1162
      Added -skim option
1163
 
1164

        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1170
 
1171
        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even
1172
        if an error is detected.
1173
 
1174
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package
1175
        needs to be rebuilt at all.
1176
 
1177
        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be
1178
        skipped during the build.

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

Major changes:
1892
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1893
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1894
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1895
 
1896
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1897
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1898
      duplicates corrected.
1899
 
1900
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1901
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1902
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1903
 
1904
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1905
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1906
      displayed at the end of the build process.

    * EnvVars
2098
      Added GBE_DPKG_REPLICA. This read-only package store is scanned 
2099
      before GBE_DPKG. It is intended to facilitate remote build 
2100
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
2101
 
2102
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
2103
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
2104

2107
    * Jats caching
2108
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
2109
      found in the cache, then it will not be refreshed. This should speed

2133
Minor changes:
2134
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2135
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2136
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2137
 
2138
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2139
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2140
 
2141
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2142
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
2143
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
2144
 
2145
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
2433
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2434
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2435
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2436
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2437
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2438
 
2439
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2440

2451
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2452
      Allowed the -filter option to take a comma separated list of filters.
2453
      Allowed filters to contain a pathname element. ie: scripts/*.sh

2467
Major changes:
2468
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2469
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2470
      intended to build deployed software.
2471
 
2472
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2473
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2474
 
2475
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2476
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2477
 
2478
Minor changes:
2479
    * Jats wrapper script
2480
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2481
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2482
      Subversion instance of the command.
2483
 
2484
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2485
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2486
 
2487
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2488

2495
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2496
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2497
 
2498
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2499
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2500
 
2501
    * GCC Toolchain
2502
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

2519
    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2520
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2521
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2522
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2523
 
2524
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2525
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2538
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2539
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2540
      line.
2541
 
2542

2545
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2546
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2547
      and Linux.

2555
Major changes:
2556
 
2557
Minor changes:
2558
    * Jats Core
2559
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2560
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2561
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2562
 
2563
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2564
      Used only by the build daemons.
2565
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2566
 
2567
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2568
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports

2574
Major changes:
2575
 
2576
Minor changes:
2577
    * svnrelease utility
2578
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2579
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2580
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2581
 
2582
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2583
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2584
      the named tag.
2585
 
2586
    * svnrelease utility
2587
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2588
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2599
        covered by the makefile.
2600
 
2601
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2602

    * Utility vcsdiff
2609
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2610

      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2621
      directory of the tag.
2622
 
2623
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2624
      repository.
2625
 
2626
    * Subversion Support
2627
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2628
      showing the user what to do.
2629
 
2630
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2631
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2632
      we have build support for this target.
2633
 
2634
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2635
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2636
 
2637
Internal:
2638
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage

Major changes:
2656
 
2657
Minor changes:
2658
    * Makefile generation
2659
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2660
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2661
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2662
      of warnings.
2663
 
2664
    * Makefile Generation
2665
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2674
Major changes:
2675
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2676
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2677
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2678
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2679
 
2680
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2681
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2682
      windows path scheme.
2683
 
2684
Minor changes:
2685
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2686
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2687
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2688
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2689
 
2690
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2691
        jats make clobber
2692
      This operates as before.
2693
 
2694
    * Utility: escrow
2695
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2696
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2697
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2698
 
2699
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2700
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2701
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2702
 
2703
    * Utility: svn : url
2704
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2705
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2706
 
2707
    * Utility: svn : import
2708
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2709
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2710
 
2711
    * Subversion Support
2712
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2713
      showing the user what to do.
2714
 
2715
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2716
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2717
      repositories.

2722
 
2723
Minor changes:
2724
    * Jats build
2725
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2726
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2727
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2728
 
2729
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2730
      command, with a sandbox.

2742
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2743
                 Can also display available branches.
2744
 
2054 dpurdie 2745

2751
 
2752
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2753
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2754
      Modified two options:
2755
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2756
                        The named branch must not exist
2757
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2758
                        The named branch must exist
2759
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

2768
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2769
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2770
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

2793
 
2794
Major changes:
2795
    * Jats Version Number
2796
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2798
      significantly.

Major changes:
2811
    * Subversion support

      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2813
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2814
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2815
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2816
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2817
 
2818
Minor changes:
2819
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2820
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2821
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2822
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2823
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2824
 
2825
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2826
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2827
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2828
 
2829
    * Linux support utilities
2830
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2831
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2841
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2842
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2843
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2844
 
2845
Minor changes:
2846
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2847
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2848
 
2849
    * Utility: svnrelease
2850
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2851
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2852
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2853
 
2854
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2855
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2856
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2857
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2858
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2859
 
2860
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2861
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2862
 
2863
    * Utility: sandbox
2864
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2865
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2866
 
2867
      Subcommand: populate
2868
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2869
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2870
      sandbox.
2871
 
2872
    * Subversion Support
2873
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2874
      repository is not supported.
2875
 
2876
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2877
      a progress indication.
2878
 
2879
    * Jats Online Documentation
2880
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2881
      online documentation.
2882
 
2883
    * Generated makefiles
2884
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2933
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2934
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2935
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2936
 
2937
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 2938

2961
Major changes:
2962
 
2963
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2964
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2965
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2966
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2967
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2968
 
2969

    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
2982
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2983
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2984
 
2985
    * Utility ccrelease
2986
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2987
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
2988
 
2989
    * Utility: svn
2990
      Improved package import processing.
2991
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package
2992
 
2993

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3019
Major changes:
3020
 
3021
Minor changes:
3022
    * Command: jats clobber
3023
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
3024
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
3025
 
3026
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
3027
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
3028
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
3029
 
3030
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
3031
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
3032
 
377 dpurdie 3033
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
3034
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
3035
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 3036
 
3037
    * jats svnlabel
3038
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
3039
 
3040
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
3041
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
3042
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
3043
 
3044
    * Built Daemon support
3045
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3046
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
3047

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
3050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3051
Major changes:
3052
    * GCC Toolset
3053
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3054
      New methodology is:
3055
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3056
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3057
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3058
        as the main binary.
3059
 
3060
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3061
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3062
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3063
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3064
      both worlds.
3065
 
3066
Minor changes:
3067
    * HTML Documentation
3068
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
3069
 
3070
Internal changes:
3071
    * Generated makefiles

3073
      jmake's 'help' command a long time back.

3077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3078
Major changes:
3079
    * Jats Sandbox
3080
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3081
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3082
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3083
 
3084
    * RIORDS Platform
3085

3108
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3109
 
3110
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3111
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3112
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3113
      a vob.
3114
 
3115

3197
    * HTML Help
3198
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3199
 
3200
    * jats build -noforce
3201
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3202
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3203
      be forced.
3204
 
3205
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3206
 
3207
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3208
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3209
 
3210
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3211
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3212
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3213
 
3214
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3215
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3216
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3217
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3218
 
3219
    * Utility: svnrelease
3220
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3221
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3222
 
3223
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3224
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3225
 
3226
    * Utility: svn
3227
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3228
      installed and can be used.
3229
 
3230
    * Toolset: CSharp
3231
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3232
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3233
      character.
3234
 
3235
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3236
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3237
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3238
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3239
      masking an error.
3240
 
3241
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3242
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3243
      enhancement.
3244
 
3245
    * Toolset: dafbr
3246
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3247
 
3248
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3249
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3250
        - Return correct path to package
3251
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3252
 
3253
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3254
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3255
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3256
 
3257
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3258
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3259
      packages.
3260
 
3261
    * make command: show
3262
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3263
      'jats make show' command.
3264
 
3265
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3266
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3267
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3268
 
3269
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3270
      executed on Unix machines.

3306
 
3307
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3308
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3309
 
3310
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3311
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing

3334
      in a package archive.
3335
 
3336
      Sub command: create
3337
      New option '-exact'. This will create a sandbox in which the package
3338
      version numbers are significant. This is useful when recreating a specific
3339
      package version.
3340
 
3341
      Command specific help
3342
      Each sub command now has its own help.

3497
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
3498
      need toolset specific information.
3499
 
3500
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.

Minor changes:
3631
    * Jats label command
3632
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3633
      Not recommended for general use.
3634
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3635
      directories within the current view.
3636
 
3637
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3638
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3639
      elsewhere.
3640
 
3641
    * Jats save_build
3642
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3643
      the determination of a branch.
3644
 
3645
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3646
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3647
 
3648
    * Jats build
3649
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3650
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3651
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3652
 
3653
    * Borland6 toolset
3654
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3655
      to match the documented install location of:
3656
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3657
 
3658
    * Jats build
3659
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3660
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3661
      This is a very quick operation.
3662
 
3663
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3664
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3665
 
3666
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3667
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3668
      files are only recreated if need be.
3669
 
3670
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3671
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3672
      make the package.
3673
 
3674
    * Jats sandbox
3675
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3676
 
3677
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3678
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3679
 
3680
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3681
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3682
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3683
      is performed.
3684
 
3685

      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3724
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3725
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3726
 
3727
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3728
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3729
 
3730
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3731
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3732
      platform builds.
3733
 
3734
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3735
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3736
      directory tree.
3737
 
3738
    * New command: jats man
3739
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3740
 
3741
Internal changes:
3742
    * jats upddep
3743
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3744
 
3745
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3746
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
3747
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 3750
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3751
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3752
Major changes:
3753
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3754
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3755
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3756
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3757
 
3758
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3759
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3760
 
3761
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3762
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3763
 
3764
      Examples:
3765
            jats upddep -show
3766
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3767
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3768
 
3769
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3770
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3771
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3772
 
3773
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3774
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3775
 
3776
Minor changes:
3777
 
3778
Internal changes:
3779
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3780
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3783
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3784
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3785
Major changes:
3786
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3787
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3788
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3789
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3790
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3791
      stream.
3792
 
3793
      Example:
3794
 
3795
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3796
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3797
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3798
                     );
3799
Minor changes:
3800
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3801
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3802
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3803
      directive.
3804
 
3805
    * GCC Toolkit
3806
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3807
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3808
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3809
      the point of termination.
3810
 
3811
    * Jats save_build utility
3812
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3813
      under windows.
3814
 
3815
    * Jats sandbox
3816
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3817
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3818
      in different sandboxes.
3819
 
3820
    * Jats release
3821
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3822

3825
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3826
Major changes:
3827
 
3828
Minor changes:
3829
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3830
      Added -locatedir=name
3831
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3832
      directory.
3833
 
3834
    * jats label utility
3835
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3836
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3837
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3838
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3839
 
3840
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3841

3845
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3846
 
3847
Minor changes:
3848
    * WinCe Toolsets
3849
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3850
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3851
        noExceptions            - Disable
3852
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3853
      Example:
3854
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3855
 
3856
    * Solaris targets
3857
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3858
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3859
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3860
      machine type.
3861
 
3862
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3863
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3864
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3865
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3866
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3867
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3868
      project files.
3869
 
3870
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3871
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3872
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3873
 
3874
Minor changes:
3875
    * Added more internal documentation
3876
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3877
 
3878
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3879
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3880
 
3881
    * Jats save_build utility
3882
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3883
      under windows.
3884
 
3885
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3886
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3887
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3888
      libraries.
3889
 
3890
    * Solaris builds
3891
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3892
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3893
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3894
      of the build failure.
3895
 
3896
 
3897
Internal changes:
3898
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3899
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3900
 
3901
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3902
      PkgArchive topics.

3906
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3907
Major changes:
3908
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3909
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3910
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3911
      existing 32-bit builds.
3912
 
3913
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3914
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3915
 
3916
Minor changes:
3917
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3918
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3919
 
3920
    * Package searching
3921
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3922
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3923
 
3924
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3925
 
3926
    * jats help
3927
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3928
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3929
 
3930
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3931
      with one of:
3932
        jats -h
3933
        jats help jats
3934
 
3935
Internal:
3936
    * cmdfile utility
3937
      Added macros:
3938
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3939
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3940
 
3941
      Corrected
3942
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3943
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3944
 
3945
      Extended
3946

        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3948
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3949
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Internal changes
3959
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3960
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3961
      Useful side effects include:
3962
 
3963
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3964
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3965
 
3966
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3967
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3968
 
3969
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3970
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3971
        BuildPkgArchive
3972
 
313 dpurdie 3973
    * Perl Modules
3974
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3975
      release. This will:
3976
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3977
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3978
          reported by ERG.
3979
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

Minor changes:
3987
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
3988
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
3989
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
3990
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
3991
 
3992
    * Jats label utility
3993
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
3994
 
3995
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
3996
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
3997
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
3998
 
3999
    * Jats core
4000
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
4001
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
4002
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
4011
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
4012
      This is now fixed.
4013
 
309 dpurdie 4014
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 4015
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 4016
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 4017
 
4018
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4019
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
4028
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 4029
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 4030
      an error.
4031
 
4032
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 4033
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 4034
 
4035
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 4036
      Highly specialized directive.

Major changes:
4043
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4044
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4045
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4046
 
4047
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4048
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4049
 
4050
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4051
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4052
      Support includes
4053
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4054
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4055
 
4056
Minor changes:
4057
    * Build file processing
4058
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4059
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4060
 
4061
    * MOS builds
4062
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4063
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4064
 
4065
    * MOS builds
4066
      New 'known' product: PICP
4067
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4068
 
4069
    * GenerateFiles directive
4070
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4071
        under windows.
4072
 
4073
        .
4074
 
4075
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4076
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4077
 
4078
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4079
      to the output stream.
4080
 
4081
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4082
 
4083
    * Windows Shell
4084
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4085
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4086
 
4087
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4088
 
4089
    * H8S toolset
4090
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4091
 
4092
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4093
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4094
 
4095
Internal changes
4096
    * WinCe builds
4097
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4098
      content of the file.
4099
 
4100
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4101
 
4102
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.

4115
Major changes:
4116
 
4117
Minor changes:
4118
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4119
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4120
      Changes are transparent to users.
4121
 
4122
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4123
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4124
      this occurs.
4125
 
4126
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4127
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4128
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4129
      automated build framework.
4130
 
4131
    * jats sandbox command
4132
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4133
      'create' command.
4134
 
4135
    * jats command aliases. Added
4136
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4137
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

4141
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4142
Major changes:
4143
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4144
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4145
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4146
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4147
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4148
      will work as expected
4149
 
4150
Minor changes:
4151
    * VS2008 Toolset
4152
      Picking up incorrect config details
4153
      May result in a warning message.
4154
 
4155
    * gen_cots utility
4156
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4157
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4158
 
4159
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4160
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
4161
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths
4162

4207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4208
Major changes:
4209
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4210
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4211
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4212
 
4213
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4214
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4215
 
4216
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4217
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4218
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4219
           names cannot be changed.
4220
 
4221
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4222
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4223
 
4224
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4225
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4226
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4227
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4228
 
4229
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4230
      file.
4231
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4232
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4233
      MyPackage.dpk.
4234
 
4235
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4236
      file.
4237
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4238
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4239
      MyDll.dpr.
4240
 
4241
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4242
      file.
4243
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4244
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4245
      MyProg.dpr.
4246
 
4247
Minor changes:
4248
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4249
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4250
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4251
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4252
 
4253
    * BuildVersion directive
4254
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4255
      in a Delphi Unit.
4256
 
4257
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4258
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4259
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4260
      'know' the location of the files.
4261
 
4262
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4263
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4264
 
4265
Internal Changes:
4266
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4267
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4268
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4269
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4270
 
4271
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4272
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4273
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4277
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4278
Major changes:
4279
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4280
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4281
      information for purely C++ builds.
4282
 
289 dpurdie 4283
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4284
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4285
 
289 dpurdie 4286
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4287
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4288
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4289
 
4290
Minor changes:
4291
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4292
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4293
 
4294
    * updatenodespec utility
4295
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4296
      Manager database.

4319
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4320
 
4321
Minor changes:
4322
    * MergeLibrary directive
4323
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4324
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4325

Minor changes:
4333
    * New command: jats make show
4334
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4335
      used in the build.
4336
 
4337
    * Escrow command
4338
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4339
 
4340
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4341
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4342
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4343
 
4344
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4345
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4346

277 dpurdie 4349
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4350
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4351
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4352
 
279 dpurdie 4353
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4354
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4355
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4356
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4357
 
4358
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4359
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4360
 
4361
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4362
 
4363
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4364
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4365
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4366
 
4367
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4368
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4369
        processed.
4370
 
4371
      Removed the '-delete' option
4372
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4373
 
277 dpurdie 4374
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4375
    * Sandbox command
4376
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4377
 
4378
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4379
      target from consideration in the build set.
4380
 
4381
    * MCR Toolset
4382
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4383
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4384
 
4385
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4386
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4387
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4388
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4389
 
4390
    * Jats run_test command
4391
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4392
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4393
 
4394
    * descpkg file
4395
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4396
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4397
 
4398
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4399
     Now contains build trace information
4400
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4401
 
4402
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4403
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4404
     it contains 'jar' files.
4405
 
4406
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4407
 
4408
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4409
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4410
 
4411
   * BuildVersion directive
4412
     Form:
4413
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4414
     now works as expected.
4415
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4416
 
4417
Internal Changes:
4418
 
4419
    * Error reporting mechanism
4420
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4421
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4422
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4432
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4433
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4434
    then starts.
4435
 
4436
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4437
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4438
 
4439
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4440
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4441
    non-platform option.
4442
 
279 dpurdie 4443
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4458
 
4459
    * Jats sandbox command (experimental)
4460
        A files called 'stop' within the root directory of the component
4461
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4462
 
4463
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4464
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4465
 
4466
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars
4467
        GBE_MAKE_TYPE               - P or D
4468
        GBE_MAKE_TARGET             - Target platform
4469

4470
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4471
 
4472
    * Jats generated scripts: set_<platform>.sh
4473
      The generated scripts preserve any spaces in the argument list passed
4474
      to the invoked application.
4475
 
4476
Internal Changes:
4477

4483
      build target.
4484
 
4485
    * Jmake - Jats Makefile Supervisor
4486

    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4877
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4878
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4879
 
4880
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4881
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4882
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4883
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4884
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4885
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4886
          under VS2005.
4887
 
4888
Minor changes:
4889
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4890
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4891
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4892
 
4893
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4894
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4895
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4896
 
4897
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4898
 
4899
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4900
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4901
 
4902
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4903
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4904
      a minimal value of perl.
4905
 
4906
      Removed excessive require statements.
4907
 
4908
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4909
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4910
      Include JATS specific files for
4911
        1) Windows
4912
        2) Linux
4913
 
4914
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4915
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4916
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4917
      machines.
4918
 
4919
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4920
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4921
 
4922
    * JATS Environment
4923
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4924
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4925
 
4926
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4927
      wrapper scripts.
4928
 
4929
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4930
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4931
      Spell check help and code.

4983
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4984
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4985
  * New toolset and platform
4986
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4987
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
4988
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
4989
    this platform.
4990
 
4991
Minor changes:
4992
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
4993
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
4994
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
4995
    work.
4996
 
4997
  * Jats utility: release
4998
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
4999
    published to dpkg_archive.
5000
 
249 dpurdie 5001
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 5002
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
5003
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
5004
    supported for ANT builds.
5005
 
5006
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
5007
        releasemanager.releasename
5008
        releasemanager.projectname
5009
 
5010
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
5011
    tagged data item of the form
5012
 
5013
        releasemanager.releasename = value
5014
        releasemanager.projectname = value
5015
 
5016
  * Mug File Generation
5017
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
5018
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
5019
 
5020
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
5021
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
5022
    required.
5023
 
5024
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
5025
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
5026
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
5027
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
5028
    the files in order to use them.
5029
 
5030
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
5031
    locate the file.
5032
 
5033
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
5034
    to ensure backward compatibility.
5035
 
5036
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
5037
        * CSharp
5038
        * Properties
5039
        * WinRC
5040
 
5041
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
5042
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
5043
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5044
    Value is correctly assigned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5049
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5050
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5051
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5052
 
5053
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5054
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5055
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5056
 
5057
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5058
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5059
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5060
 
5061
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5062
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5063
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5064
 
5065
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5066
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5067
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5068
    correct.
5069
 
5070
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5071
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5072
 
5073
Minor changes:
5074
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5075
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5076
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5077
 
5078
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5079
    This will simplify new user setup.
5080
 
5081
  * All Unix Toolsets
5082
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5083
    on unix systems
5084
 
5085
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5086
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5087
    on some Solaris Machines.
5088
 
5089
  * JATS -version=<version>
5090
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5091
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

5139
    mode.
5140
 
5141
  * JATS makefiles
5142
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first

    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5144
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5145
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5146
                            SetList directive.
5147
 
5148

5275
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5276
      <project> field.
5277
 
5278
    * CCdiff utility
5279
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
5280
 
5281
    * Escrow utility
5282
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
5283
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package
5284
 
5285
    * Minor Perl-10 tweaks

5292
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5293
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5294
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5295
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5296
 
5297
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5298
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5299
 
5300
    * Jats wrapper
5301
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5302
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5303

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5307
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5308
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5309
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5310
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5311
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5312
 
5313
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5314
 
5315
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5316
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5317
 
5318
    * Running Jats
5319
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5320
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5321
      This may affect some windows developers.
5322
 
5323
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5324
      Future versions will generate an error.
5325
 
5326
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5327
 
5328
Minor changes:
5329
    * Perl Version Check
5330
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5331
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5332
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5333
 
5334
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5335
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5336
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5337
      build.
5338
 
5339
    * Jats Internals
5340
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5341
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5342
 
5343
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5344
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5345
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5346
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5347
      process.
5348
 
5349
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5350
      Only works under Windows.
5351
 
5352
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5353
 
5354
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5355
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5356
 
5357
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5358
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5359
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5360
 
5361
    * Jats eprog
5362
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5363
      directory.
5364
 
5365
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5366
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5367
      build metrics.
5368
 
5369

5372
Major changes:
5373
 
5374
Minor changes:
5375
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5376
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5377
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5378
      automated build system. New options are:
5379
        -pname=Package_Name
5380
        -pversion=Package_Version
5381
 
5382
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5383
      transferring the package. New options are:
5384
        -test
5385
 
5386
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5387
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5388
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5389
 
5390
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5391
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5392
 
5393
    * Solaris Toolset
5394
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5395
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5396
      programs are still supported.

5400
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5401
Major changes:
5402
 
5403
Minor changes:
5404
    * WINCE toolsets
5405
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5406
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5407
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5408
      when header files cannot be found.
5409
 
5410
    * GenerateFiles directive
5411
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5412
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5413
      that are difficult to solve.
5414
 
5415
    * MakePerlModule directive
5416
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5417
      to the the module builder.
5418
 
5419
    * Jats Tool: label
5420
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5421
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5422
      -dirs=xxx options.
5423
 
5424
    * Jats Tool: release
5425
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5426
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5427
 
5428
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5429
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5430
 
5431
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5432
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5433
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5434
 
5435
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5441
Major changes:
5442
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5443
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5444
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5445
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5446
 
5447
Minor changes:
5448
    * label utility
5449
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5450
 
5451
    * make package and install operations
5452
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5453
      transfer.
5454
 
5455
    * make clean up
5456
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5457
 
5458
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5459
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5460
      minor file transformations such as:
5461
        Copy, with optional rename
5462
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5463
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5464
 
5465
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5466
 
5467
    * jats release utility
5468
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5469
      in place.
5470
 
5471
    * escrow utility
5472
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5473
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

5480
Minor changes:
5481
    * Makefile generation
5482
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5483
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5484
      generate phase early.
5485
 
5486

5489
Major changes:
5490
 
5491
Minor changes:
5492
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5493
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5494
 
5495
    * Makefile generation
5496
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5497
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5498
 
5499
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5500
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5501
 
5502
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5503
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5504
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5505
 
5506
    * jats_rewrite utility
5507
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5508
 
5509
    * jats escrow utility
5510
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5511
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5512
 
5513
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5514
      inconsistent packages.
5515
 
5516
    * jats make help
5517
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5518
      available within the current build.
5519
 
5520
    * jats makefiles
5521
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5522
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5523
 
5524
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5525
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5526
 
5527
    * gcc toolset
5528
      SharedLibries.
5529
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5530
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5531
 
5532
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5533
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5534
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5535
 
5536
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5537
        New options:
5538
            --MultiScan
5539
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5540
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5541
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

5547
Major changes:
5548
 
5549
Minor changes:
5550
    PackageLib directive
5551
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5552
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5553
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5554
 
5555
    MakefileGenerate directive
5556
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5557
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5558
 
5559
    Multiple Parent detection
5560
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5561
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5562
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5563
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5564
 
5565
    Solaris Toolset
5566
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5567
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5568
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5569
    link.
5570
 
5571
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5572
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5573
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5574
 
5575
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5576
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5577
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5578
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5583
Major changes:
5584
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5585
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5586
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5587
 
5588
    Summary of changes:
5589
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5590
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5591
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5592
          flexibility.
5593
 
5594
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5595
 
5596
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5597
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5598
          interface directory and associated build information.
5599
 
5600
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5601
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5602
          than one second.
5603
 
5604
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5605
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5606
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5607
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5608
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5609
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5610
 
5611
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5612
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5613
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5614
 
5615
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5616
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5617
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5618
          building them.
5619
 
5620
        - Detection of build file changes
5621
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5622
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5623
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5624
 
5625
        - Quieter make output
5626
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5627
 
5628
 
5629
Minor changes:
5630
    MakeAnt Directive
5631
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5632
 
5633
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5634
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5635
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5636
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5637
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5638
 
5639
    CSHARP toolset
5640
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5641

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5649
    are generated.
5650
 
5651
    MakeAnt
5652
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5653
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5654
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5655
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5656

    MakeAnt directive extended
5668
    New option: --PackageBase
5669
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5670
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will

        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5672
 
5673
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5674
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5675
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5676
        package image being created.

5696
 
5697
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5698
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5699
 
5700
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5701
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5702
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5703
 
5704
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5705
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5706
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

5732
Major changes:
5733
 
5734
Minor changes:
5735
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5736
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5737
 
5738
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5739
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5740
      last.
5741
 
5742
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5743
 
5744
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5745
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5746
 
5747
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5748
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5749
 
5750
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5751
 
5752
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5753
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5754
 
5755
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5756
 
5757
 
5758
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5759
           with the --System option
5760
 
5761
    * LMOS target platform
5762
      Includes LINUX_ETX

5767
Major changes:
5768
 
5769
Minor changes:
5770
    * Solaris Toolset
5771
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5772
      dependent packages.
5773
 
5774
    * RunTest operation
5775
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5776
 
5777
    * Csharp toolkit
5778
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too
5779

5781
Version: JATS_2.68.0                                Released: 20-Aug-07
5782
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5783
Major changes:
5784
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5785
 
5786
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5787
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5788
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5789
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5790
      path.
5791
 
5792
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5793
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5794
      reproducible.
5795
 
5796
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5797
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5798
 
5799
      There are several aspects to the change
5800
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5801
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5802
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5803
 
5804
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5805
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5806
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5807
          controlled separately.
5808
 
5809
Minor changes:
5810
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5811
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5812
        Remove duplicates
5813
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5814
 
5815

5816
Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5818
Major changes:
5819
 
5820
Minor changes:
5821
    * Makefile sanity test
5822
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5823
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5824
 
5825
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5826
      x86 machine.
5827
 
5828
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5829
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5830
 
5831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5832
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5833
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5834
Major changes:
5835
    * RunTest directive
5836
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5837
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5838
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5839
 
5840
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5841
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5842
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5843
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5844
 
5845
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5846
        builder within the current toolset.
5847
 
5848
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5849
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5850
 
5851
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5852
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5853
      containing the RunTest directive.
5854
 
5855
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5856
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5857
 
5858
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5859
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5860
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5861
 
5862
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5863
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5864
                            P or D suffix.
5865
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5866
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5867
 
5868
Minor changes:
5869
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5870
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5871
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5872
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5873
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5874
 
5875
    * Save Build Utility
5876
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5877
      used in a ripple build.
5878
 
5879
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5880
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5881
 
5882
    * Release Utility
5883
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5884
      when an error is encountered.
5885
 
5886
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5887
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5888
 
5889
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5890
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5891
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5892
 
5893
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5894
      before the makefiles are created.
5895
 
5896
    * TestProg directive
5897
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5898
 
5899
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5900
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
5901

5905
Major changes:
5906
    * New build target
5907
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5908
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5909
 
5910
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5911
            DEVLINUX
5912
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5913
 
5914
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5915
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5916
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5917
 
5918
Minor changes:
5919
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5920
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5921
 
5922
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5923
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5924
 
5925
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5926
      and .cs files.
5927
 
5928
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5929
      thing.
5930
 
5931
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5932
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5933
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5934
      were it places temp files.
5935
 
5936
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5937
      interaction with other builds.
5938
 
5939
    * Release utility command
5940
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5941
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5942
      component in the clearcase tag name.

6003
  * Deployment
6004
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
6005
 
6006
  * build.pl
6007
    Better error check on a packages version number.
6008
 
6009
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
6010
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
6011
 
6012
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
6013
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
6014
    build.
6015
 
6016
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
6017

6030
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6031
Major changes:
6032
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
6033
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
6034
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
6035
 
6036
  * GenerateFiles
6037
    Added the options:
6038
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
6039
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
6040
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
6041
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
6042
 
6043
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
6044
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
6045
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
6046
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
6047
                                  required.

6049
 
6050
Minor changes:
6051
  * GenerateFile directive
6052
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
6053
 
6054
  * GCC Toolset
6055
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
6056
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
6057
    be rebuilt.
6058
 
6059
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
6060
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
6061

6063
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
6064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6065
Major changes:
6066
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
6067
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
6068
    environment variables.
6069
 
6070
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6071
            moved.
6072
 
6073
    This will affect users that:
6074
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6075
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6076
 
6077
        2) Use the ABT system
6078
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6079
           the required configuration
6080
 
6081
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6082
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6083
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
6084
    Windows
6085
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 6086
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
6087
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6088
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 6089
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 6090
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
6091
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6092
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6093
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
6094
 
6095
 
6096
  * New build platforms
6097
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6098
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6099
 
6100
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6101
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6102
 
6103
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6104
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6105
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6106
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6107
 
6108
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6109
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6110
    release.
6111
 
6112
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6113
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6114
 
6115
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6116
    need to be converted.
6117
 
6118
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6119
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6120
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6121
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6122
    used for different targets platforms.
6123
 
6124
  * Sandbox support
6125
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6126
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6127
 
6128
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6129
 
6130
Minor changes:
6131
 
6132
 
6133
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6134
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6135
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6136
Major changes:
6137
  * MakeAnt directive
6138
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6139
 
6140
    New options
6141
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6142
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6143
 
6144
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6145
    run_unit_tests phase.
6146
 
6147
  * Sandbox support
6148
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6149
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6150
 
6151
Minor changes:
6152
  * jats build
6153
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6154
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6155
 
6156
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6157
 
6158
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6159
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6160
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6161
 
6162
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6163
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6164
 
6165
  * JATS.BAT
6166
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6167
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6168
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6169
 
6170
  * jats label
6171
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6172
 
6173
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6174
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6176
Major changes:
6177
  * New build platform:
6178
        LMOS_TP5600
6179
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6180
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6181
 
6182
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6183
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6184
    describe the group of platforms.
6185
 
6186
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6187
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6188
    build these targets.
6189
 
6190
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6191
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6192
 
6193
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6194
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6195
 
6196
  * New build platform: WINCE
6197
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6198
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6199
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6200
 
6201
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6202
            WCEIT3000
6203
            WCEPA961
6204
            WCEPA962
6205
            WCEPCM7220
6206
            WCEPSION_420
6207
            WCEPSPC_arm
6208
            WCEPSPC_emu
6209
            WCEX86A420
6210
            WCEX86A500
6211
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6212
 
6213
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6214
 
6215
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6216
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6217
    that contain packaging directives.
6218
 
6219
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6220
    very unusual configurations.
6221
 
6222
Minor changes:
6223
  * Directive: PackageFile
6224
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6225
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6226
    an '='.
6227
 
6228
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6229
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6230
 
6231
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6232
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6233
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6234
 
6235
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6236
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6237
 
6238
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6239
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6240
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6241
Major changes:
6242
 
6243
  * JATS release command
6244
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6245
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6246
 
6247
    Rules are:
6248
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6249
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6250
                            File will be placed on a branch
6251
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6252
                            New directory will branch
6253
 
6254
Minor changes:
6255
  * JATS release command
6256
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6257
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6258
 
6259
  * JATS label command
6260
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6261
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6262
 
6263
  * JATS make
6264
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6265
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6266
    was re-packaged.
6267
 
6268
  * JATS escrow
6269
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6270
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6271
 
6272
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6273
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6274
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6275
 
6276
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6277
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6278
    interface directory.
6279
 
6280
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6281
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6282
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6283
    directory as seen by the package.
6284
 
6285
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6286
 
6287
  * JAVA 6
6288
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6289
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6290
 
6291
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6292
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6293
 
6294
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6295
 
6296
  * Jats command: vars
6297
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6298
    These indicate potential problems.
6299
 
6300
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6301
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6302
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6303
Major changes:
6304
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6305
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6306
    libarry is also created.
6307
 
6308
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6309
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6310
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6311
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6312
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6313
    information contained within the file.
6314
 
6315
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6316
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6317
 
6318
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6319
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6320
 
6321
  * Building Perl Modules
6322
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6323
    documentation on the build machine.
6324
 
6325
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6326
 
6327
Minor changes:
6328
  * jats create_dpkg
6329
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6330
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6331
 
6332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6333
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6334
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6335
Major changes:
6336
  * JATS JAVA build target
6337
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6338
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6339
 
6340
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6341
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6342
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6343
    is then picked up as the default version.
6344
 
6345
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6346
    build.pl file.
6347
 
6348
Minor changes:
6349
  * jats release
6350
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6351
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6352
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6353
 
6354
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6355
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6356
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6357
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6358
    the name of the view.
6359
 
6360
  * GenerateFiles directive
6361
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6362
 
6363
  * MOS Toolset
6364
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6365
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6366
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6367
 
6368
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6369
 
6370
 
6371
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6372
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6374
Major changes:
6375
 
6376
Minor changes:
6377
  * JATS environment
6378
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6379
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6380
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6381
 
6382
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6383
 
6384
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6385
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6386
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6387
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6388
    to be packaged.
6389
 
6390
  * Generated makefiles
6391
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6392
 
6393
  * Generating MOS THX files
6394
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6395
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6396
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6397
 
6398
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6399
 
6400
  * JATS release
6401
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6402
 
6403
  * JATS extract
6404
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6405
 
6406
  * JATS Toolset
6407
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6408
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6409
 
6410

6413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6414
Major changes:
6415
 
6416
Minor changes:
6417
  * jats label
6418
    Added a -vob=name option
6419
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6420
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6421
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6422
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6423
 
6424
    Added a -user=name option
6425
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6426
    label to the named user.
6427
 
6428
  * jats release
6429
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6430
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6431
 
6432
  * JATS build.pl
6433
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6434
    ie:
6435
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');

Major changes:
6442
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6443
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6444
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6445
    the makefile internals. ie:
6446
        --Var(BuildName)
6447
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6448
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6449
 
6450
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6451
 
6452
  * GenerateFiles
6453
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6454
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6455
 
6456
  * BuildPlatforms
6457
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6458
 
6459
Minor changes:
6460
  * GCC Toolset
6461
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6462
 
6463
Internal changes:
6464
  * GenerateFiles
6465
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6466
 
6467
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6468
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6469

6471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6472
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6473
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6474
Major changes:
6475
  * Caching JATS
6476
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6477
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6478
 
6479
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6480
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6481
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6482
 
6483
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6484
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6485
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6486
 
6487
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6488
 
6489
Minor changes:
6490
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6491
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6492
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6493
 
6494
  * jats build
6495
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6496
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6497
    processed by the build.
6498
 
6499
  * jats build
6500
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6501
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6502
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6503
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6504
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6505
 
6506
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6507
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6508
    Path is not specified.
6509
 
6510
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6511
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6512
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6513
        --Dir=$Pinc
6514
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6515
 
6516
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6517
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6518
    Windows platform.
6519
 
6520
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6521
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6522
            by 'purecov.
6523
 
6524
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6525
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6526
 
6527
        - OPTIONS=purify
6528
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6529
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6530
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6531

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6535
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6536
Major changes:
6537
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6538
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6539
    Example:
6540
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6541
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6542
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6543
 
6544
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6545
    been determined.
6546
 
6547
Minor changes:
6548
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6549
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6550
    located at build-time.
6551
 
6552
  * Unix based systems
6553
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6554
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6555
 
6556
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6557
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6558
    driver being built.
6559

6573
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
6574
 
6575
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
6576
    dependancy information within a package.
6577
 
6578
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6579
    messages.

    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
6589
 
6590
    GenerateFiles.
6591
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6592
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6593
                      be run on every invocation.
6594
 
6595
 
6596

6601
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6602
  There are two mechanism:
6603
 
6604
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6605
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6606
 
6607
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6608
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6609
 
6610
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6611
  default.

6619
  * SunWorks Toolset
6620
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6621
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6622
    It is based on machine type.
6623
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6624
 
6625
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6626
 
6627
Minor changes:
6628

    Allow handcrafted JAVA based packages that use tabs instead of spaces as a
6651
    field separator.
6652
 
6653
  * JATS eprog command

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6655
 
6656
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6657
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6658
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6659
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6660
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6661
 
6662
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6663
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6664
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6665
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6666
 
6667
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6668
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

    When compiling Shared Library objects the -fPIC flag has been added.
6680
 
6681
 
6682
Minor changes:
6683
  * JATS wrapper script
6684
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6685
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6686
    to setup links to system programs.

    Added CompileOptions
6709
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
6710
        no_misalign         - Default
6711
 
6712
        multithread         - Default
6713
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
6714
 
6715
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
6716
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
6717
 
6718

6726
        debug_debuginfo
6727
 
6728
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6729
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6730
    Theses are:
6731
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6732
        SOLARIS_AMD
6733
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6734
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6735
 
6736
Minor changes:
6737
  * AT3232 toolset
6738
    Create .sxml files in conjunction with .s19 files
6739
 
6740
  * Jats build

Minor changes:
6750
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
6751
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
6752
    messages
6753
 
6754
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6755
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6756
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6757
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6758

Major changes:
6763
 
6764
Minor changes:
6765
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6766
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6767
    library without creating the body of the library:
6768
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6769
 
6770
 
6771
  * MOS toolsets
6772
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6773
    library without creating the body of the library:
6774
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6775
 
6776
  * JATS BIN directories
6777
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6778
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6779
    using autoconf.
6780
 
6781
  * Generate directive
6782
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6783
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6784
 
6785
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
6786

6800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6801
Major changes:
6802
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6803
    Initial release.
6804
 
6805
  * Packaging directives
6806
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6807
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6808
 
6809
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6810
        SOLARIS
6811
        WIN32
6812
 
6813
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6814
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6815
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6816
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6817
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6818
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6819
 
6820
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6821
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6822
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6823
 
6824
 
6825
Minor changes:
6826
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6827
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6828
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6829
 
6830
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6831
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6832
    location
6833
 
6834
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6835
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6836
 
6837
  * Utility genrc
6838
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6839
 
6840
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6841
    Added option: -new
6842
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6843
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6844
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6845
 
6846
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6847
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6848
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6849
 
6850
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6851
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6852
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6853
 
6854
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6855
   features - in a uniform manner.
6856
 
6857
 
6858
Internal Changes:
6859
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6860
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6861
 
6862
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6863
        1) Platform information available at build time
6864
        2) Dynamic platform names
6865
 
6866
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6867
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6868
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6869
 
6870
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6871
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6872
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6873
 
6874
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6875
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6876
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6877
    needed.
6878
 
6879
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6880
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6881
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6882
    files from all of these.

Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6886
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6887
Major changes:
6888
 
6889
Minor changes:
6890
  * WinCE toolset
6891
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6892
 
6893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6894
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6895
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6896
Major changes:
6897
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6898
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6899
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6900
 
6901
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6902
 
6903
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6904
    the operations.
6905
 
6906
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6907
 
6908
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6909
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6910
 
6911
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6912
 
6913
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6914
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6915
 
6916
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6917
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6918
    Extended the built-in help
6919
    Added useful error messages
6920
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6921
 
6922
  * WinCE toolset
6923
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6924
 
6925
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6926
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6927
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6928
 
6929
Minor changes:
6930
  * JATS wrapper script
6931
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6932
    the command line.
6933
 
6934
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6935
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6936
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6937
 
6938
Internal Changes:
6939
  * Common Error Reporting
6940
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6941
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6942
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6943
    level.
6944
 
6945
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6946
    displayed.
6947
 
6948
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6949
 
6950
  * Added JatsSystem module
6951
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6952
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6953
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06

6955
Major changes:
6956
 
6957
Minor changes:
6958
  * BR Compiler toolset
6959
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6960
    .def files to include other files.
6961
 
6962
  * IAR toolset
6963
    Added AT7272 support
6964
 
6965
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6966
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6967
 
6968
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6969
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6970
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6971
Major changes:
6972
 
6973
Minor changes:
6974
  * BR Compiler toolset
6975
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6976
    use.
6977
 
6978
 
6979
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6980
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6981
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6982
Major changes:
6983
 
6984
Minor changes:
6985
  * Mictotec toolset
6986
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6987
    builds.
6988
 
6989
  * JATS Core
6990
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
6991
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
6992
    behaviour.
6993
 
6994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6995
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
6996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6997
Major changes:
6998
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
6999
    Deployment package will be affected.
7000
 
7001
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
7002
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
7003
 
7004
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
7005
 
7006
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
7007
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
7008
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
7009
    packages.
7010
 
7011
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
7012
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
7013
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
7014
 
7015
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
7016
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
7017
 
7018
Minor changes:
7019
  * SubDir directive
7020
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
7021
    a directory from two different makefiles.
7022
 
7023
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
7024
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
7025
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
7026
    of the file usage.
7027
 
7028
  * New utility: jats_manifest
7029
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
7030
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
7031
 
7032
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
7033
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
7034
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
7035
 
7036
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
7037
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
7038
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
7039
    will execute a JATS extended command.
7040
 
7041
 
7042
Internal Changes:
7043
  * Code refactor
7044
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
7045
 
7046
  * Deployment utilities
7047
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
7048
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
7049
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
7050
    the module can locate the file.
7051
 
7052
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
7053
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
7054
 
7055
  * JATS core
7056
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
7057
 
7058
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
7059
 
7060
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
7061
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
7062
    through the use of environment variables.
7063
 
7064
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
7065
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
7066
 
7067
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
7068
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
7069
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7070
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7071
 
7072
  * Make environment
7073
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7074
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7075
 
7076
 
7077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7078
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7079
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7080
Major changes:
7081
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7082
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7083
 
7084
 
7085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7086
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7087
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7088
 
7089
Not Released.
7090
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7091
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7092
 
7093
 
7094
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7095
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7096
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7097
Major changes:
7098
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7099
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7100
    radically replaced.
7101
 
7102
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7103
    Usage:
7104
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7105
 
7106
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7107
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7108
    this solution:
7109
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7110
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7111
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7112
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7113
 
7114
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7115
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7116
    order to work.
7117
 
7118
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7119
    reduced functionality.
7120
 
7121
 
7122
Minor changes:
7123
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7124
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7125
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7126
 
7127
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7128
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7129
    within the makefiles.
7130
        Options:
7131
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7132
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7133
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7134
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7135
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7136
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7137
        Useage:
7138
 
7139
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7140
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7141
 
7142
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7143
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7144
    is not in the current directory.
7145
 
7146
  * Jats Command: ant'
7147
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7148
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7149
 
7150
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7151
 
7152
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7153
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7154
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7155
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7156
 
7157
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7158
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7159
    Thus
7160
 
7161
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7162
 
7163
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7164
 
7165
 
7166
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7167
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7168
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7169
Major changes:
7170
 
7171
Minor changes:
7172
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7173
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7174
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7175
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7176
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7177
 
7178
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7179
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7180
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7181
 
7182
Internal changes:
7183
  * JATS toolsets
7184
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7185
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7186
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7187
 
7188
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7189
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7190
 
7191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7192
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7194
Major changes:
7195
  * Jats command: etool
7196
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7197
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7198
 
7199
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7200
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7201
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7202
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7203
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7204
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7205
 
7206
Minor changes:
7207
 
7208
 
7209
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7210
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7211
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7212
Major changes:
7213
  * JATS environment variables
7214
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7215
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7216
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7217
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7218
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7219
 
7220
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7221
              Remote repository
7222
 
7223
    Added GBE_DPLY
7224
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7225
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7226
 
7227
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7228
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7229
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7230
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7231
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7232
 
7233
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7234
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7235
 
7236
 
7237
Minor changes:
7238
  * JATS utility: build
7239
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7240
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7241
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7242
 
7243
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7244
    Ensure label is not locked
7245
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7246
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7247
 
7248
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7249
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7250
    to a specific type of build.
7251
 
7252
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7253
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7254
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7255
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7256
 
7257
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7258
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7259
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7260
 
7261
  * JATS utility: release
7262
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7263
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7264
 
7265
  * JATS utility: label
7266
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7267
    when it is being created.
7268
 
7269
Internal Changes
7270
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7271
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7272
 
7273
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7274
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7275
 
7276
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7277
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7278
    different results.
7279
 
7280
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7281
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7282
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7283
 
7284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7285
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7286
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7287
Major changes:
7288
 
7289
  * MCR toolset
7290
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7291
 
7292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7293
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7295
Major changes:
7296
  * WIN32 utilities
7297
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7298
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7299
 
7300
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7301
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7302
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7303
 
7304
Minor changes:
7305
  * BuildVersion
7306
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7307
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7308
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7309
 
7310
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7311
 
7312
  * Unix Builds
7313
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7314
    library or a shared library.
7315
 
7316
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7317
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7318
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7319
    start with 'lib'.
7320
 
7321
  * BuildPkgArchive
7322
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7323
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7324
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7325
 
7326
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7327
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7328
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7329
Major changes:
7330
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7331
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7332
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7333
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7334
    being manually maintained.
7335
 
7336
 
7337
Minor changes:
7338
  * MakeAnt directive
7339
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7340
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7341
    supports ANT builds.
7342
 
7343
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7344
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7345
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7346
 
7347
  * Label utility
7348
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7349
    files to be labeled.
7350
 
7351
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7352
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7353
    on Solaris.
7354
 
7355
  * Generated makefiles
7356
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7357
    nothing.
7358
 
7359
  * MOS Toolset
7360
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7361
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7362
    modules.
7363
 
7364
  * Utility: gen_cots
7365
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7366
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7367
 
7368
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7369
 
7370
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7371
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7372
 
7373
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7374
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7375
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7376
Major changes:
7377
  None
7378
 
7379
Minor changes:
7380
  * DEVI addressed
7381
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7382
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7383
 
7384
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7385
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7386
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7387
 
7388
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7389
 
7390
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7391
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7392
 
7393
  * RunTest directive
7394
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7395
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7396
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7397
 
7398
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7399
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7400
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7401
    packaged under JATS
7402
 
7403
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7404
          supported within JATS.
7405
 
7406
  * Jats utility wrapper
7407
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7408
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7409
 
7410
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7411
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7412
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7413
 
7414
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7415
    Eg: jats ant
7416
 
7417
  * Jats utility wrapper
7418
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7419
 
5710 dpurdie 7420
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7421
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7422
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7423
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7424
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7425
 
5710 dpurdie 7426
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7427
    expect a build.pl file.
7428
 
7429
  * Jats utility wrapper
7430
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7431
 
7432
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7433
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7434
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7435
 
7436
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7437
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7438
 
7439
  * Build files
7440
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7441
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7442
 
7443
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7444
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7446
Major changes:
7447
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7448
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7449
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7450
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7451
 
7452
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7453
 
7454
Minor changes:
7455
  * None
7456
 
7457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7458
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7459
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7460
Major changes:
7461
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7462
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7463
    ie:
7464
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7465
 
7466
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7467
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7468
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7469
    environments are compatible.
7470
 
7471
 
7472
Minor changes:
7473
  * BuildName option
7474
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7475
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7476
 
7477
  * jats.bat
7478
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7479
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7480
 
7481
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7482
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7484
Major changes:
7485
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7486
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7487
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7488
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7489
 
7490
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7491
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7492
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7493
 
7494
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7495
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7496
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7497
 
7498
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7499
    transferred.
7500
 
7501
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7502
    See notes below.
7503
 
7504
  * WIN32 toolset
7505
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7506
    correctly.
7507
 
7508
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7509
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7510
 
7511
  * BuildVersion
7512
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7513
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7514
    other langauges as needed.
7515
 
7516
 
7517
Minor changes:
7518
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7519
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7520
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7521
    version strings.
7522
 
7523
  * GenerateFiles directive
7524
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7525
    package or an imported package.
7526
 
7527
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7528
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7529
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7530
 
7531
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7532
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7533
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7534
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7535
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7536
 
7537
Internal Changes
7538
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7539
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7540
    of utilities.
7541
 
7542
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7543
    functions.
7544
 
7545
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7546
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7548
Major changes:
7549
  * Generated makefiles
7550
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7551
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7552
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7553
 
7554
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7555
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7556
    incorrectly processing:
7557
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7558
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7559
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7560
    confused.
7561
 
7562
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7563
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7564
    The construct
7565
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7566
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7567
    then it works.
7568
 
7569
  * MakeAnt directive
7570
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7571
 
7572
    This option has the following effects
7573
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7574
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7575
 
7576
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7577
           early - in the generated files phase.
7578
 
7579
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7580
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7581
 
7582
 
7583
Minor changes:
7584
  * JATS post-installation script
7585
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7586
 
7587
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7588
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7589
    windows.
7590
 
7591
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7592
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7593
 
7594
  * Jats wrapper script
7595
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7596
        1) Contain spaces
7597
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7598
 
7599
  * Toolset
7600
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7601
 
7602
  * JAVA toolset
7603
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7604
    directive:
7605
 
7606
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7607
 
7608
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7609
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7610
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7611
 
7612
  * GCC Toolset
7613
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7614
 
7615
  * Makefile generation
7616
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7617
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7618
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7619
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7620
    package could not be used.
7621
 
7622
  * Unit Tests
7623
    The following environment variables are set:
7624
 
7625
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7626
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7627
 
7628
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7629
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7630
 
7631
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7632
 
7633
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7634
 
7635
 
7636
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7637
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7638
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7639
Major changes:
7640
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7641
 
7642
    Special features of this toolset.
7643
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7644
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7645
       incorporated within the target image.
7646
 
7647
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7648
       --Set=Name=Value
7649
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7650
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7651
 
7652
       --Ref=name
7653
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7654
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7655
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7656
                will be taken from the build version number.
7657
 
7658
Minor changes:
7659
  * MOS Toolset
7660
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7661
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7662
    packaged.
7663
 
7664
  * Src directive
7665
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7666
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7667
    specifier.
7668
 
7669
  * WIN32 runtime support
7670
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7671
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7672
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7673
 
7674
Internal:
7675
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7676
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7677
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7678
 
7679
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7680
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7681
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7682
Major changes:
7683
    * BuildAlias directive
7684
      Added options.
7685
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7686
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7687
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7688
                          targets.
7689
      Eg:
7690
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7691
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7692
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7693
 
7694
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7695
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7696
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7697
 
7698
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7699
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7700
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7701
 
7702
 
7703
Minor changes:
7704
  * Label utility
7705
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7706
    build.pl file
7707
 
7708
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7709
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7710
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7711
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7712
    --FilterIn option.
7713
 
7714
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7715
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7716
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7717
 
7718
  * Location of descpkg file
7719
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7720
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7721
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7722
 
7723
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7724
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7725
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7726
Major changes:
7727
  * RunTest directive
7728
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7729
    Additional options
7730
      --CopyIn=file
7731
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7732
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7733
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7734
        the test area.
7735
 
7736
    Additional operations
7737
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7738
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7739
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7740
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7741
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7742
    Allows flags:
7743
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7744
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7745
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7746
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7747
 
7748
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7749
    existence is tested.
7750
 
7751
  * Packaging Directives
7752
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7753
    such as LMOS.
7754
 
7755
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7756
 
7757
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7758
 
7759
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7760
 
7761
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7762
 
7763
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7764
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7765
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7766
 
7767
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7768
 
7769
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7770
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7771
 
7772
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7773
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7774
 
7775
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7776
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7777
 
7778
Minor changes:
7779
  * Script directive
7780
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7781
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7782
 
7783
  * JATS environment
7784
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7785
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7786
    the JATS wrapper script.
7787
 
7788
  * Label utility
7789
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7790
    There are three modes of operation:
7791
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7792
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7793
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7794
 
7795
 
7796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7797
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7799
Major changes:
7800
 
7801
Minor changes:
7802
  * label utility
7803
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7804
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7805
 
7806
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7807
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7808
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7809
      --ProgLoader=name
7810
 
7811
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7812
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7813
    Options to do this are:
7814
        --TreeDir=name
7815
        --FilterOut=regexp
7816
        --FilterIn=regexp
7817
        --StripDir
7818
 
7819
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7820
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7821
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7822
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7823
 
7824
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7825
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7826
 
7827
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7828
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7829
 
7830
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7831
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7832
 
7833
 
7834
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7835
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7836
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7837
Major changes:
7838
    * Make commands
7839
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7840
 
7841
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7842
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7843
 
7844
    * Label utility
7845
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7846
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7847
 
7848
Minor changes:
7849
    * Toolsets
7850
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7851
      variables and overrides.
7852
 
7853
      The make_init target is always run.
7854
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7855
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7856
 
7857
    * Deployment
7858
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7859
      with deployment operations.
7860
 
7861
    * Release utility
7862
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7863
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7864
      restricted by options within the build.
7865
 
7866
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7867
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7868
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7869
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7870
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7871
 
7872
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7873
      directives.
7874
 
7875
    * MakeProject directive
7876
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7877
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7878
 
7879
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7880
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7881
      is preserved.
7882
 
7883
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7884
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7885
      statements.
7886
 
7887
    * Mugfile generation
7888
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7889
      be placed in the target package.
7890
 
7891
 
7892
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7893
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7894
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7895
Major changes:
7896
    * BuildVersion directive
7897
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7898
      number as well as a patch number.
7899
 
7900
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7901
      number.
7902
 
7903
Minor changes:
7904
    * AddFlags directives
7905
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7906
      duplicate flags being added.
7907
 
7908
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7909
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7910
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7911
 
7912
    * Mug File Generation
7913
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7914
 
7915
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7916
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7917
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7918
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7919
     directory.
7920
 
7921
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7922
     reproducible.
7923
 
7924
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7925
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7926
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7927
Major changes:
7928
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7929
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7930
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7931
      longer a list of directories.
7932
 
7933
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7934
      done within the toolset.
7935
 
7936
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7937
 
7938
    * JATS environment variables
7939
      Redefined variable
7940
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7941
                          Previously was a list that included the
7942
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7943
 
7944
      New variable
7945
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7946
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7947
 
7948
 
7949
Minor changes:
7950
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7951
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7952
      target platforms to be extracted.
7953
 
7954
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7955
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7956
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7957
 
7958
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7959
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7960
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7961
 
7962
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7963
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7964
 
7965
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7966
      Support ANT based XML files
7967
 
7968
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7969
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7970
      structure.
7971
 
7972
    * makefile.pl's
7973
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7974
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7975
 
7976
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7977
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7978
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7979
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7980
 
7981
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7982
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7983
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7984
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7985
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7986
      -- Auto.
7987
 
7988
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
7989
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
7990
      unit tests within an automated framework.
7991
 
7992
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
7993
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
7994
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
7995
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
7996
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
7997
 
7998
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
7999
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
8000
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
8001
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
8002
      installed on the machine.
8003
 
8004
    * WINCE Targets
8005
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
8006
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
8007
 
8008
 
8009
 
8010
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8011
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
8012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8013
Major changes:
8014
    * WIN32 platforms
8015
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
8016
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
8017
      and installed packages.
8018
 
8019
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
8020
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
8021
      create CV style debug information in the target.
8022
 
8023
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
8024
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
8025
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
8026
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
8027
      searched when looking for libraries.
8028
 
8029
Minor changes:
8030
    * GenerateFiles directive
8031
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
8032
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
8033
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
8034
                          and drive letter
8035
 
8036
    * Src directive
8037
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
8038
      directory of a package.
8039
 
8040
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
8041
 
8042
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
8043
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8044
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8045
 
8046
    * jats_rewrite utility
8047
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8048
 
8049
 
8050
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8051
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8053
Major changes:
8054
    * SunWorks production builds
8055
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8056
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8057
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8058
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8059
      compiler documentation.
8060
 
8061
    * MOS Toolset
8062
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8063
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8064
 
8065
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8066
 
8067
Minor changes:
8068
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8069
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8070
      This should not affect current users.
8071
 
8072
    * Mugfile generation
8073
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8074
      specified.
8075
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8076
 
8077
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8078
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
8079
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8080
Major changes:
8081
    MOS Toolset
8082
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8083
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8084
 
8085
Minor changes:
8086
    * Jats wrapper script
8087
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8088
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8089
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8090
 
8091
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8092
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8093
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8094
      may be suspect.
8095
 
8096
    * GenerateFiles directive
8097
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8098
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8099

Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8102
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8103
Major changes:
8104
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8105
      build.xml files.
8106
 
8107
Minor changes:
8108
    * WIN32 toolset.
8109
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8110
 
8111
    * MakeAnt
8112
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8113
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8114
 
8115
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8116
 
8117
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8118
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8119
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8120
 
8121
    * MakeAnt directive
8122
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8123
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8124
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8125
 
8126
      Recommended usage:
8127
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8128
 
8129
Internal Changes
8130
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8135
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8136
Major changes:
8137
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8138
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8139
      files packaged into the release.
8140
 
8141
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
8142

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8145
 
8146
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8147
      The recommended platform is:
8148
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8149
 
8150
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8151
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8152
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8153
      components.
8154
 
8155
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

8159
 
8160
Minor changes:
8161
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8162
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8163
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8164
      by the package to be accessed.
8165
 
8166
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8167
      application or visual studio.
8168
 
8169
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8170
      and the JATS Core path.
8171
 
8172
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8173
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8174
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8175
 
8176
    * MOS Toolset
8177
      Add support for the TPT device
8178
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8179
 
8180
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8181
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8182
 
8183
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8184
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8185
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8186
 
8187
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8188
 
8189
Internal Changes
8190
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8191
      in jats.pl
8192
 
8193
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8194
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8195
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8196
Major changes:
8197
    * JATS wrapper script
8198
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8199
 
8200
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8201
 
8202
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8203
 
8204
Minor changes:
8205
    * Deployment support
8206
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8207
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8208
 
8209
    * 'build'
8210
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8211
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8212
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8213
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8214
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8215
 
8216
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8217
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8218
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8219
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8220
                                      the link phase.
8221
 
8222
    * BuildPkgArchive
8223
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8224
      Previously these were ignored.
8225
      Minor code cleanup
8226
 
8227
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8228
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8229
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8230
 
8231
    * SOLARIS targets
8232
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8233
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8234
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8235
 
8236
    * MugFile generation
8237
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8238
      included in the final package.
8239
 
8240
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8241
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8242
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8243
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8244
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8245
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8246
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8247
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8248
 
8249
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8250
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8251
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8252
            --Option=(some_text)
8253
            --Option=[some_text]
8254
            --Option={some_text}
8255
 
8256
Internal Changes
8257
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8258
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8259
      code.
8260
 
8261
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8262
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8263
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8264
Major changes:
8265
    * JATS wrapper script
8266
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8267
 
8268
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8269
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8270
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8271
      other components.
8272
 
8273
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8274
 
8275
    * JATS
8276
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8277
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8278
 
8279
    * Build operations
8280
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8281
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8282
      packages.
8283
 
8284
    * Make operations
8285
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8286
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8287
 
8288
Minor changes:
8289
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8290
      deployment builds.
8291
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8292
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8293
 
8294
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8295
 
8296
    * build.pl
8297
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8298
        processed. Allows
8299
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8300
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8301
        production.
8302
 
8303
    * MOS toolset
8304
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8305
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8306
 
8307
    * create_dpkg utility
8308
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8309
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8310
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8311
      progress of the build.
8312
 
8313
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8314
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8315
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8316
      system.
8317
 
8318

Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8320
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8321
Major changes:
8322
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8323
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8324
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8325
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8326
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8327
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8328
 
8329
    * WCEX86A500 target
8330
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8331
 
8332
    * MOS Toolsets
8333
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8334
      the compiler.
8335
 
8336
    * RunTest directive
8337
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8338
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8339
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8340
 
8341
Minor changes:
8342
    * JATS BUILD
8343
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8344
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8345
      highlight bad settings.
8346
 
8347
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8348
      access to extensions.
8349
 
8350
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8351
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8353
Major changes:
8354
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8355
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8356
 
8357
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8358
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8359
      under unix.
8360
 
8361
Minor changes:
8362
    * label utility
8363
      Added options to:
8364
        o Delete a label
8365
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8366
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8367
 
8368
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8369
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8370
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8371
      Package directives.
8372
 
8373
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8374
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8375
      system.
8376
 
8377
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8378
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8379
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8380
Major changes:
8381
    * MOS Toolset
8382
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8383
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8384
 
8385
    * WIN32 Toolset
8386
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8387
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8388
      list.
8389
 
8390
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8391
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8392
 
8393
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8394
 
8395
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8396
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8397
 
8398
 
8399
Minor changes:
8400
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8401
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8402
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8403
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8404
      corrected.
8405
 
8406
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8407
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8408
 
8409
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8410
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8411
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8412
 
8413
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8414
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8415
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8416
Major changes:
8417
    * WIN32 Toolset
8418
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8419
      use with multithreaded modes.
8420
 
8421
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8422
      --OnlyProd.
8423
 
8424
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8425
      within the makefile.pl.
8426
 
8427
Minor changes:
8428
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8429
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8430
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8431
      platforms.
8432
 
8433
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8434
 
8435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8436
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8438
Major changes:
8439
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8440
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8441
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8442
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8443
 
8444
    * Preliminary Support
8445
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8446
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8447
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8448
 
8449
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8450
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8451
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8452
 
8453
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8454
      building. The default build will build both.
8455
 
8456
Minor changes:
8457
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8458
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8459
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8460
 
8461
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8462
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8463
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8464
 
8465
 
8466
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8467
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
8468
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8469
Major changes:
8470
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8471
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8472
      or all.
8473
 
8474
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8475
      the library or program.
8476
 
8477
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8478
 
8479
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8480
      library or any debug files.
8481
 
8482
    * GenerateFiles
8483
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8484
 
8485
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8486
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8487
 
8488
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8489
              The filename of the prereq file
8490
 
8491
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8492
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8493
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8494
 
8495
 
8496
Minor changes:
8497
    * create_dpkg utility
8498
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8499
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8500
      the package has been altered.

Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8504
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8505
Major changes:
8506
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8507
      This is a WINCE target
8508
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8509
 
8510
    * New toolset
8511
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8512
 
8513
    * Modified toolset
8514
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8515
 
8516
    * Modified toolset
8517
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8518
 
8519
Minor changes:
8520
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8521
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8522
 
8523
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8524
 
8525
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8526
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8527
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8528
 
8529
      The change allows the construct
8530
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8531
      to be replaced by the simpler
8532
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8533
 
8534
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8535
      specified name.

8555
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8556
Major changes:
8557
    * The "package.pl" file.
8558
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8559
      package name being taken from the build name
8560
 
8561
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8562
      package Build Name.
8563
 
8564
Minor changes:
8565
    * create_dpkg utility
8566
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8567
 
8568

8571
Major changes:
8572
 
8573
Minor changes:
8574
    * Dependancy generator
8575
      Correct two common situations
8576
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
8577
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
8578
           ansi, but is often done.
8579
 
8580
    * GCC toolset
8581
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
8582
      being created in the correct place.
8583
 
8584
    * jats "label"
8585
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
8586
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
8587
 
8588
 
8589
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8590
Version: JATS_2.18.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8591
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8592
Major changes:
8593
 
8594
Minor changes:
8595
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
8596
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
8597
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
8598
 
8599
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
8600
      pkg directory will be transferred.
8601
 
8602
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
8603
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
8604
      package was not being transferred.
8605
 
8606
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8607
Version: JATS_2.17.0                                Released: 06-Apr-05
8608
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8609
Major changes:
8610
    * Support for solaris_i386
8611
      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
8612
      binaries for this target.
8613
 
8614
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
8615
      with the GCC compiler.
8616
 
8617
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
8618
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
8619
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
8620
 
8621
Minor changes:
8622
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8623
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
8624
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8625
 
8626
    * cbuild ( release) utility
8627
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris
8628
 
8629
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8630
Version: JATS_2.16.0                                Released: 04-Apr-05
8631
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8632
Major changes:
8633
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
8634
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
8635
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
8636
 
8637
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
8638
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
8639
 
8640
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
8641
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
8642
      with either " or ' characters.
8643
 
8644
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
8645
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8646
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8647
 
8648
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
8649
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
8650
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
8651
 
8652
    * Jats wrapper
8653
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
8654
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
8655
      further commands.
8656
 
8657
Minor changes:
8658
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
8659
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
8660
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
8661
      name of the .dep file and its content.
8662
 
8663
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8664
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
8665
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8666
Major changes:
8667
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
8668
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
8669
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
8670
 
8671
      These options operation affect all components within the
8672
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
8673
      then they will affect all components within the build.
8674
 
8675
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
8676
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
8677
 
8678
Minor changes:
8679
 
8680
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8681
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8682
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8683
Major changes:
8684
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
8685
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
8686
 
8687
Minor changes:
8688
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
8689
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
8690
 
8691
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
8692
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
8693
 
8694
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8695
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8696
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8697
Major changes:
8698
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
8699
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
8700
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
8701
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
8702
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
8703
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
8704
      installed.
8705
 
8706
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
8707
      libraries that depend on each other.
8708
 
8709
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
8710
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
8711
 
8712
Minor changes:
8713
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
8714
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
8715
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
8716
 
8717
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
8718
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
8719
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
8720
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
8721
 
8722
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8723
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
8724
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8725
Major changes:
8726
 
8727
Minor changes:
8728
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
8729
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
8730
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
8731
      file.
8732
 
8733
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
8734
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
8735
 
8736
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
8737
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
8738
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
8739
 
8740
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
8741
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
8742
 
8743
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
8744
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
8745
 
8746
    * WinCE toolsets
8747
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
8748
      compiler specific libraries.
8749
 
8750
    * SOLARIS toolset
8751
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
8752
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
8753
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
8754
 
8755
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
8756
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
8757
      cleaned up.
8758
 
8759
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
8760
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
8761
 
8762
    * jats_rewriter.pl
8763
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
8764
      with either " or ' characters.
8765
 
8766

------------------------------------------------------------------------
8768
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
8769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8770
Major changes:
8771
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
8772
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
8773
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
8774
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
8775
 
8776
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
8777
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
8778
 
8779
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
8780
      user.
8781
 
8782
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
8783
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
8784
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
8785
 
8786
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
8787
      for the   -Gf option.
8788
 
8789
Minor changes:
8790
    * SOLARIS Toolset
8791
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
8792
 
8793
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
8794
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
8795
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
8796
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
8797
 
8798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8799
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
8800
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8801
Major changes:
8802
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
8803
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
8804
 
8805
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
8806
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
8807
      data addresses for the board.
8808
 
8809
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
8810
 
8811
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
8812
 
8813
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
8814
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
8815
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
8816
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
8817
         PackageFile
8818
 
8819
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
8820
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
8821
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
8822
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
8823
 
8824
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
8825
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
8826
      to be installed and packaged.
8827
 
8828
Minor changes:
8829
 
8830
    * cache_dpkg utility
8831
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
8832
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
8833
 
8834
    * label utility
8835
      New option -auto to create and label
8836
 
8837
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
8838
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
8839
 
8840
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
8841
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
8842
      directory. ie:
8843
 
8844
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
8845
 
8846
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
8847
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
8848
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
8849
 
8850
 
8851
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8852
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
8853
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8854
Major changes:
8855
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
8856
 
8857
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
8858
      To be used by the nightly build process.
8859
 
8860
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
8861
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
8862
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
8863
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
8864
 
8865
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
8866
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
8867
      compilation.
8868
 
8869
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
8870
 
8871
Minor changes:
8872
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
8873
      one is being produced.
8874
 
8875
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
8876
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
8877
      job of cleaning the workspace.
8878
 
8879
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
8880
 
8881
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
8882
 
8883
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
8884
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.

8887
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8888
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8889
Major changes:
8890
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8891
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8892
 
8893
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8894
 
8895
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8896
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8897
      same directory
8898
 
8899
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8900
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8901
      documenattion.
8902
 
8903
Minor changes:
8904
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8905
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8906
 
8907
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8908
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8909
 
8910
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8911
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8912
 
8913
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8914
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8915
 
8916
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8917
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8918
      be exempt from this test.
8919
 
8920
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8921
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8922
 
8923
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8924
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8925
 
8926
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8927
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8928
      does.
8929
 
8930
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8931
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8932
 
8933
 
8934
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8935
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8937
Major changes:
8938
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8939
 
8940
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8941
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8942
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8943
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8944
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8945
 
8946
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8947
      operations.
8948
 
8949
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8950
 
8951
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8952
 
8953
Minor changes
8954
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8955
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8956
 
8957
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8958
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8959
      directory is not added to the library path.
8960
 
8961
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8962
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8963
 
8964
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8965
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8966
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8967
 
8968
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8969
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8970
      specific flags.
8971
 
8972
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8973
 
8974
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8975
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8976
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8977
 
8978
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8979
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8980
      JATS.
8981
 
8982
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8983
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8984
 
8985
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8986
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8987
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
8988
 
8989
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
8990
      the initial DLL or EXE.
8991
 
8992
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
8993
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
8994
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
8995
 
8996
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
8997
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
8998
 
8999
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
9000
 
9001
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
9002
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
9003
 
9004
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
9005
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
9006
      objects.
9007
 
9008
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
9009
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
9010
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
9011
      build defendants.
