1003
      Exclude .svn sub directories.
1004
 
1005
    * Utility: jats_sandbox
1006
      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current
1007
      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 
1008
      build errors.
1009
 
1010
    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT
1011
      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets
1012
 
1013
    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef
1014
      Shorthand for
1015
        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );
1016
      This is the preferred method for defining aliases
1017
 
1018
    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive
1019
      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator
1020
      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.
1021
      Examples: 
1022
        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');
1023
        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 
1024
            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI
1025
 
1026
        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');
1027
        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');
1028
            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.
1029
 
1030
    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1031
      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the
1032
      build system.
1033
 
1034
Experimental:
1035
    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
1036
      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7
1037
      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.
6177 dpurdie 1038

1042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1043
 
1044
Minor changes:
1045
    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive
1046
      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to
1047
      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.
1048
 
1049
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1050
Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 
1051
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1052
 
1053
Minor changes:
1054
    * Directive: MakePerlModule
1055
      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.
1056
      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.
1057
 
1058
    * Build Files
1059
      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive
1060
      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'
1061
 
1062
      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of
1063
      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.
1064
 
1065
      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.
1066
            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.
1067
 
1068
   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX
1069
     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 
1070
     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the
1071
     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 
1072
        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64
1073
 
1074
     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC
1075
     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on
1076
     different architectures.
1077
 
1078
     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but
1079
     are directed to one or more machines.
1080
 
1081
     Intended uses:
1082
        Windows: Creating installers. 
1083
                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.
1084
 
1085
       All: Specialized packaging.
1086
 
1087
    * Makefiles
1088
      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*
1089
      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.
1090
      Eg:
1091
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)
1092
      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is
1093
      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.
1094
      It could also have been written as:
1095
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)
1096
      but NOT as:
1097
        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)
1098
        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)
1099
            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX
1100
 
1101
    * Utility: sandbox
1102
      Subcommand info 
1103
        - Added option to test fingerprints

1112
      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.
1113
      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.
1114
      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures
1115
 
1116
    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine
1117
      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.
1118
      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.
1119
 
1120
    * GenerateFiles directive
1121
      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).
1122

1141
    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines
1142
      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.
1143
 
1144
    * Build Alias - TOOLSET
1145
      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.
1146
      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 
1147
      machine may build the toolset.
1148
 
1149
      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 
1150
      platform.

1181
        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.
1182

1184
        if an error is detected.
1185
 
1186
        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package

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

Major changes:
1904
    * Build File processing - duplicate platforms
1905
      Attempting to build duplicate platforms has been elevated from a warning
1906
      to an error. The warning was always ignored and created bad side effects.
1907
 
1908
      The build daemons and the escrow process will allow duplicates for backward
1909
      compatibility and reproducibility, but new software should have the 
1910
      duplicates corrected.
1911
 
1912
    * Build File processing - Reodering of build information and warnings
1913
      Warnings and Messages generated before the 'Build Configuration' are now
1914
      being stored and displayed after the 'Build Configuration'.
1915
 
1916
      This is intended to bring to the users attention warning that appear at the
1917
      start of the build process but are at the top of the screen. Warnings will be
1918
      displayed at the end of the build process.

2112
      servers that have a local package archive replica.
2113
 
2114
    * Autobuild support for Java Based Packages
2115
      Attempt to overcome shortcomings in ant-using in a remote build 
2116

    * Jats caching
2120
      Modified the cache mechanism such that if the required version is
2121

2145
Minor changes:
2146
    * GCC Toolset: SharedLib creation - dependency file detection
2147
      Fixed a bug[JATS-304] in which the dependencies between header files
2148
      and source files was not being used, when building a SharedLib.
2149
 
2150
      The main effect of this is that if a developer modified a .h file
2151
      then JATS was not detecting which C files to recompile.      
2152
 
2153
    * Added a script called jats.unix.sh
2154
      On Unix, this is intended to be copied to /usr/local/bin as 'jats'
2155
      It will redirect the user to the correct instance of JATS
2156
 
2157
    * Jats Internal: Database access

Minor changes:
2445
    * Automated Build System Support for machines that do not build the package
2446
      This version provides a transparent 'dummy' build under conditions where
2447
      a package does not build for the current machine. All the commands
2448
      used by the 'buildtool' will perform a dummy build. There are no build
2449
      artifacts, but the build will not fail.
2450
 
2451
      This mechanism improved the tracking of files created during the creation
2452
      of makefiles and uses this mechanism to deleted generated files.

2463
        -delfilter=xxx[,yyy]*
2464

2479
Major changes:
2480
    * New build target: UBUNTU12
2481
      This is intended to facilitate testing of emebedded devices. It is not
2482
      intended to build deployed software.
2483
 
2484
      UBUNTU12 is considered to be an embedded device and as such is included in
2485
      the DEVLINUX alias.
2486
 
2487
      UBUNTU12 is built on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 platform using
2488
      gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
2489
 
2490
Minor changes:
2491
    * Jats wrapper script
2492
      The default version control system has been set to 'svn'. This means that
2493
      the jats commands 'label', 'release' and 'extract' will invoke the
2494
      Subversion instance of the command.
2495
 
2496
      This change will not be picked up by Windows users. They will need to
2497
      update their jats.bat file if they want this change.
2498
 
2499
    * Utility: jats vcsdiff
2500

      file under windows.

2507
      Improved the generation of the Resource names. Now supports
2508
      form names that do not match the enclosing resource.
2509
 
2510
      Supports Resources without a matching .cs file - as long as there
2511
      is a matching Designer.cs file.
2512
 
2513
    * GCC Toolchain
2514
      Added version testing of the compiler being invoked by the build.

    * New Platform: INTELLECT
2532
      Support for Intellect PAX.
2533
      This support does not extend to native building of PAX modules. It is
2534
      intended to 'wrap' the existing PAX Build system.
2535
 
2536
      The body of the Pax Building infrastructure is not within the JATS core
2537
      but is to be provided though a JATS plugin.

Minor changes:
2548
    * Utility: jats sandbox
2549
      Support sandbox specific build filter. A file called 'buildfilter' in
2550
      the root of the sandbox will be used to specify a sandbox-local
2551
      buildfilter. It will override any buildfilter provided on the command
2552
      line.
2553
 
2554
    * Jats Configuration
2555
      Replace auperaunx26 with auperaarc01 as the default package server.
2556
 
2557
    * Jats Utility: rewrite and upddep
2558
      Purify build files that have mixed line endings under both Windows
2559
      and Linux.
2560
 
2561
      Addresses an issue where build files with mixed line endings are not
2562
      correctly rippled.

2569
Minor changes:
2570
    * Jats Core
2571
      Corrected algorithm used to search for a matching package version.
2572
      This is used by the -build option of ccrelease and svnrelease and
2573
      the '-locatepkg' option of JATS.
2574
 
2575
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2576
      Used only by the build daemons.
2577
      Do not propagate the 'author' of the base package if the build is a ripple.
2578
 
2579
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2580
      The process of backtracking from a tag to a branch/trunk supports

2586
Major changes:
2587
 
2588
Minor changes:
2589
    * svnrelease utility
2590
      The use of the '-branch' option will not replace the build files with
2591
      those from the base tag, nor will it replace any files that were modified
2592
      between the tag and branch from which the tag was taken.
2593
 
2594
      The resultant workspace will be the HEAD of the named branch, although
2595
      the extraction process will highlight changes between the named branch and
2596
      the named tag.
2597
 
2598
    * svnrelease utility
2599
      Corrected a problem in backtracking from a tag to the development branch
2600
      with some releases of TortoiseSVN.

2611
        covered by the makefile.
2612
 
2613
      New SharedLib option: --NoVersionDll
2614
        Suppress the creation of versioned DLLs.
2615
        Unversioned DLLs will always be generated.
2616
 
2617
    * ALL Toolsets
2618
      Ensure that some EnvVars that confuse the GNU automake are not exported
2619
 
2620
    * Utility vcsdiff
2621
      Under Unix will perform a 'diff' of the two views.
2622
      Added '-diff' option to force a text mode diff under Windows, rather than
2623
      the default use of BeyondCompare.

    * Subversion Extraction
2632
      Detect and report error condition where a tag references a parent
2633
      directory of the tag.
2634
 
2635
      Better handling of tagged versions that have been moved within the
2636
      repository.
2637
 
2638
    * Subversion Support
2639
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2640
      showing the user what to do.
2641
 
2642
    * Added Support for LMOS_COBRA
2643
      This does not imply that LMOS is fully supported on the COBRA, only that
2644
      we have build support for this target.
2645
 
2646
      Note: LMOS is not fully supported by VIX on the COBRA platform.
2647
            LMOS should not be used on the COBRA.
2648
 
2649
Internal:
2650
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil usage
2651
      Better handling of files with nasty characters(%'&) in them.
2652
      Now use a modified Url encoding scheme to pass them into JatsFileUtil
2653
      JatsFileUtil Will perform Url decoding of all arguments

2669
Minor changes:
2670
    * Makefile generation
2671
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
2672
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
2673
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
2674
      of warnings.
2675
 
2676
    * Makefile Generation
2677
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2686
Major changes:
2687
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
2688
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
2689
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
2690
      these operations with a dedicated program.
2691
 
2692
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2693
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2694
      windows path scheme.
2695
 
2696
Minor changes:
2697
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
2698
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
2699
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
2700
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
2701
 
2702
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
2703
        jats make clobber
2704
      This operates as before.
2705
 
2706
    * Utility: escrow
2707
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
2708
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
2709
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
2710
 
2711
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
2712
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
2713
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
2714
 
2715
    * Utility: svn : url
2716
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
2717
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
2718
 
2719
    * Utility: svn : import
2720
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
2721
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
2722
 
2723
    * Subversion Support
2724
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
2725
      showing the user what to do.
2726
 
2727
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
2728
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
2729
      repositories.

2734
 
2735
Minor changes:
2736
    * Jats build
2737
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
2738
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
2739
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
2740
 
2741
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
2080 dpurdie 2742
      command, with a sandbox.

2754
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
2755

2763
 
2764
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
2765
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
2766
      Modified two options:
2767
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
2768
                        The named branch must not exist
2769
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
2770
                        The named branch must exist
2771
      The two options are mutually exclusive.

      The following enhancements have been made to this utility
2780
        * Only allow extracting into a jats sandbox
2781
        * Create workspaces with a name that is the package name
2782
        * Skip extraction of a package if it already exists in the sandbox

Major changes:
2807
    * Jats Version Number
2808
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high

      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
2810
      significantly.

      Multiple changes to subversion support to simplify development with
2825
      SubVersion. Changes include:
2826
        - New VcsTag that has a path and a tag component
2827
        - Multiple extraction modes with checks to highlight unexpected
2828
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
2829
 
2830
Minor changes:
2831
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
2832
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
2833
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
2834
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
2835
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
2836
 
2837
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2838
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
2839
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
2840
 
2841
    * Linux support utilities
2842
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format
2843
      which has debug information striped out into a separate file.

        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
2853
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
2854
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
2855
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
2856
 
2857
Minor changes:
2858
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
2859
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
2860
 
2861
    * Utility: svnrelease
2862
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
2863
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
2864
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
2865
 
2866
    * Utility: svnsave_build
2867
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
2868
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
2869
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
2870
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
2871
 
2872
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
2873
      Allow the user to specify ClearCase viewtags or a viewstore path.
2874
 
2875
    * Utility: sandbox
2876
      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
2877
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
2878
 
2879
      Subcommand: populate
2880
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
2881
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
2882
      sandbox.
2883
 
2884
    * Subversion Support
2885
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
2886
      repository is not supported.
2887
 
2888
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
2889
      a progress indication.
2890
 
2891
    * Jats Online Documentation
2892
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
2893
      online documentation.
2894
 
2895
    * Generated makefiles
2896
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 2945
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 2946
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
2947
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
2948
 
2949

2973
Major changes:
2974
 
2975
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
2976
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
2977
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
2978
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
2979
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
2980
 
2981

      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
2995
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
2996
 
2997
    * Utility ccrelease
2998
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
2999
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
3000
 
3001
    * Utility: svn
3002
      Improved package import processing.
3003
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3031
Major changes:
3032
 
3033
Minor changes:
3034
    * Command: jats clobber
3035
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
3036
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
3037
 
3038
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
3039
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
3040
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
3041
 
3042
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
3043
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
3044
 
377 dpurdie 3045
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
3046
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
3047
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 3048
 
3049
    * jats svnlabel
3050
      Report conflicting options: Label and Clone
3051
 
3052
      Correct the 'label' operation. The user is not allowed to provide
3053
      path. The user must provide a simple label. JATS will determine the
3054
      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
3055
 
3056
    * Built Daemon support
3057
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.
3058
      This allows WIPs to be tags or branches
3059

373 dpurdie 3061

3062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3063
Major changes:
3064
    * GCC Toolset
3065
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
3066
      New methodology is:
3067
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
3068
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
3069
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
3070
        as the main binary.
3071
 
3072
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
3073
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
3074
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
3075
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
3076
      both worlds.
3077
 
3078
Minor changes:
3079
    * HTML Documentation
3080
      JatsWelcome.html - Extended references to BMS documentation.
3081

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3090
Major changes:
3091
    * Jats Sandbox
3092
      Softlinks to packages within the sandbox are now relative to the root of
3093
      the sandbox. This allows packages in the sandbox to be created under one
3094
      machine architecture and consumed under another.
3095
 
3096
    * RIORDS Platform
3097

3117
 
3118
    * Jats Escrow. Escrow extraction
3119
      Force views created to be done in the same manner as the build daemon.
3120
      Under Clearcase, do not include the /main/0 rule.
3121
 
3122
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3123
      Correct use of /main/0 on Unix platforms to match Windows behavior.
3124
      Only add /main/0 if the user has provided a path to a directory within
3125
      a vob.
3126
 
3127
    * Various changes to remove warnings when used with perl 5.14.

3161
    * Jats startup
3162
      Jats will report an error if started in a directory that is inaccessible

3191
      Handle VCS tags of the form CC::path::label and extract the vob name and
3192
      the clearcase label.
3193
 
3194

3205
    * New target platform: ARM_I5100
3206

3207
 
3208
Minor changes:
3209
    * HTML Help
3210
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
3211
 
3212
    * jats build -noforce
3213
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
3214
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
3215
      be forced.
3216
 
3217
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
3218
 
3219
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
3220
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
3221
 
3222
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
3223
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
3224
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
3225
 
3226
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
3227
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
3228
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
3229
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
3230
 
3231
    * Utility: svnrelease
3232
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
3233
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
3234
 
3235
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
3236
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
3237
 
3238
    * Utility: svn
3239
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
3240
      installed and can be used.
3241
 
3242
    * Toolset: CSharp
3243
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
3244
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
3245
      character.
3246
 
3247
    * Toolset: SunWorks
3248
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
3249
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
3250
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
3251
      masking an error.
3252
 
3253
    * Toolset: Delphi7
3254
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
3255
      enhancement.
3256
 
3257
    * Toolset: dafbr
3258
      Internal option to simplify compiler testing
3259
 
3260
    * makefile.pl directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
3261
      Corrected operation of the '--PackageInfo' expansion
3262
        - Return correct path to package
3263
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
3264
 
3265
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
3266
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
3267
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
3268
 
3269
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
3270
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
3271
      packages.
3272
 
3273
    * make command: show
3274
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
3275
      'jats make show' command.
3276
 
3277
    * Utility: create_dpkg
3278
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
3279
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
3280
 
3281
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
3282
      executed on Unix machines.

3302
      libraries as these are not present for all users.
3303
 
3304
    * Jats utility: dstatus
3305

3317
      the server by name, rather than IP address: 'frbesasvn01'
3318
 
3319
    * Added EnvVar GBE_VCS to control the default Version Control System
3320
      employed by the 'jats release' and 'jats extract' commands.
3321
 
3322
      Usable values are: 'cc' and 'svn'.
3323
      The default value is 'cc', providing backward compatability to existing
3324
      developers.

3511
 
3512
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.

Minor changes:
3643
    * Jats label command
3644
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
3645
      Not recommended for general use.
3646
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
3647
      directories within the current view.
3648
 
3649
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
3650
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
3651
      elsewhere.
3652
 
3653
    * Jats save_build
3654
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
3655
      the determination of a branch.
3656
 
3657
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
3658
      up labeling by the build daemons.
3659
 
3660
    * Jats build
3661
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
3662
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
3663
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
3664
 
3665
    * Borland6 toolset
3666
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
3667
      to match the documented install location of:
3668
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
3669
 
3670
    * Jats build
3671
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
3672
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
3673
      This is a very quick operation.
3674
 
3675
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
3676
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
3677
 
3678
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
3679
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
3680
      files are only recreated if need be.
3681
 
3682
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
3683
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
3684
      make the package.
3685
 
3686
    * Jats sandbox
3687
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
3688
 
3689
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
3690
      be a complete build of all component packages.
3691
 
3692
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
3693
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
3694
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
3695
      is performed.
3696
 
3697

Version:  2.86.0000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-10
3730
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3731
Major changes:
3732
 
3733
Minor changes:
3734
    * jats label command - Renaming a label
3735
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
3736
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
3737
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
3738
 
3739
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
3740
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
3741
 
3742
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
3743
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
3744
      platform builds.
3745
 
3746
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
3747
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
3748
      directory tree.
3749
 
3750
    * New command: jats man
3751
      Produces full help on a specified item.
3752
 
3753
Internal changes:
3754
    * jats upddep
3755
      Delete temp .cfg file created during the process.
3756
 
3757
    * Jats makefiles: Platform directive
3758
      Initial release of ++Machtype, ++Project and ++Defined
3759
      Not yet in use.

323 dpurdie 3762
Version:  2.85.0000.cr                               Released: 17-Mar-10
3763
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3764
Major changes:
3765
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
3766
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
3767
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
3768
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
3769
 
3770
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
3771
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
3772
 
3773
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
3774
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
3775
 
3776
      Examples:
3777
            jats upddep -show
3778
            jats upddep -show=vtk
3779
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
3780
 
3781
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
3782
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
3783
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
3784
 
3785
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
3786
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
3787
 
3788
Minor changes:
3789
 
3790
Internal changes:
3791
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
3792
      Modifications to interwork with the upddep utility.

321 dpurdie 3795
Version:  2.84.0000.cr                               Released: 16-Feb-10
3796
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3797
Major changes:
3798
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
3799
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
3800
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
3801
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
3802
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
3803
      stream.
3804
 
3805
      Example:
3806
 
3807
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
3808
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
3809
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
3810
                     );
3811
Minor changes:
3812
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
3813
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
3814
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
3815
      directive.
3816
 
3817
    * GCC Toolkit
3818
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
3819
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
3820
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
3821
      the point of termination.
3822
 
3823
    * Jats save_build utility
3824
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3825
      under windows.
3826
 
3827
    * Jats sandbox
3828
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
3829
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
3830
      in different sandboxes.
3831
 
3832
    * Jats release
3833
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.    
3834

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3838
Major changes:
3839
 
3840
Minor changes:
3841
    * jats options
321 dpurdie 3842
      Added -locatedir=name
3843
      Will scan from CWD to the root of the file system looking for the named
319 dpurdie 3844
      directory.
3845
 
3846
    * jats label utility
3847
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
3848
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
3849
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
3850
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
3851
 
3852
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels
3853

3857
Major changes:
317 dpurdie 3858
 
3859
Minor changes:
3860
    * WinCe Toolsets
3861
      New CompileOptions operations:
321 dpurdie 3862
        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 3863
        noExceptions            - Disable
3864
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
3865
      Example:
3866
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
3867
 
3868
    * Solaris targets
3869
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
3870
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
3871
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
3872
      machine type.
3873
 
3874
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3875
Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
3876
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3877
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 3878
    * New Build Platform: VB6
3879
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
3880
      project files.
3881
 
3882
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
3883
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
3884
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
3885
 
3886
Minor changes:
3887
    * Added more internal documentation
3888
      Use jats help to see available documentation
3889
 
3890
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
3891
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
3892
 
3893
    * Jats save_build utility
3894
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
3895
      under windows.
3896
 
3897
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
3898
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
3899
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
3900
      libraries.
3901
 
3902
    * Solaris builds
3903
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
3904
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
3905
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
3906
      of the build failure.
3907
 
3908
 
3909
Internal changes:
3910
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
3911
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
3912
 
3913
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
3914
      PkgArchive topics.

3918
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3919
Major changes:
3920
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
3921
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
3922
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
3923
      existing 32-bit builds.
3924
 
3925
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
3926
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
3927
 
3928
Minor changes:
3929
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
3930
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
3931
 
3932
    * Package searching
3933
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
3934
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
3935
 
3936
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
3937
 
3938
    * jats help
3939
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
3940
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
3941
 
3942
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
3943
      with one of:
3944
        jats -h
3945
        jats help jats
3946
 
3947
Internal:
3948
    * cmdfile utility
3949
      Added macros:
3950
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
3951
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
3952
 
3953
      Corrected
3954
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
3955
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
3956
 
3957
      Extended
3958
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3959
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3960
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
3961
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

Minor changes:
3969
 
3970
Internal changes
3971
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
3972
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
3973
      Useful side effects include:
3974
 
3975
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
3976
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
3977
 
3978
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
3979
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
3980
 
3981
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
3982
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
3983
        BuildPkgArchive
3984
 
313 dpurdie 3985
    * Perl Modules
3986
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
3987
      release. This will:
3988
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
3989
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
3990
          reported by ERG.
3991
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
4000
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
4001
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
4002
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
4003
 
4004
    * Jats label utility
4005
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
4006
 
4007
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
4008
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
4009
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
4010
 
4011
    * Jats core
4012
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
4013
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
4014
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
4023
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
4024
      This is now fixed.
4025
 
309 dpurdie 4026
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 4027
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 4028
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 4029
 
4030
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4031
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib

    * Generating makefiles
4040
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 4041
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 4042
      an error.
4043
 
4044
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 4045
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 4046
 
4047
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 4048
      Highly specialized directive.

4054
Major changes:
4055
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
4056
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
4057
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
4058
 
4059
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
4060
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
4061
 
4062
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
4063
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
4064
      Support includes
4065
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
4066
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
4067
 
4068
Minor changes:
4069
    * Build file processing
4070
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
4071
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
4072
 
4073
    * MOS builds
4074
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
4075
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
4076
 
4077
    * MOS builds
4078
      New 'known' product: PICP
4079
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
4080
 
4081
    * GenerateFiles directive
4082
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
4083
        under windows.
4084
 
4085
        .
4086
 
4087
    * Verbose builds now show command files
4088
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
4089
 
4090
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
4091
      to the output stream.
4092
 
4093
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
4094
 
4095
    * Windows Shell
4096
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
4097
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
4098
 
4099
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
4100
 
4101
    * H8S toolset
4102
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
4103
 
4104
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
4105
      handle macros that use line continuation.
4106
 
4107
Internal changes
4108
    * WinCe builds
4109
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
4110
      content of the file.
4111
 
4112
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
4113
 
4114
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
4115
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

4127
Major changes:
4128
 
4129
Minor changes:
4130
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
4131
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
4132
      Changes are transparent to users.
4133
 
4134
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
4135
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
4136
      this occurs.
4137
 
4138
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
4139
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
4140
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
4141
      automated build framework.
4142
 
4143
    * jats sandbox command
4144
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
4145
      'create' command.
4146
 
4147
    * jats command aliases. Added
4148
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
4149
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

4153
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4154
Major changes:
4155
    * Jats Command line and -java option
4156
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
4157
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
4158
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
4159
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
4160
      will work as expected
4161
 
4162
Minor changes:
4163
    * VS2008 Toolset
4164
      Picking up incorrect config details
4165
      May result in a warning message.
4166
 
4167
    * gen_cots utility
4168
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
4169
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
4170
 
4171
    * DELPHI7 toolset
4172
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
4173
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

4219
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4220
Major changes:
4221
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
4222
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
4223
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
4224
 
4225
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
4226
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
4227
 
4228
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
4229
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
4230
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
4231
           names cannot be changed.
4232
 
4233
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
4234
           artifacts is very simplistic.
4235
 
4236
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
4237
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
4238
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
4239
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
4240
 
4241
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
4242
      file.
4243
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
4244
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
4245
      MyPackage.dpk.
4246
 
4247
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
4248
      file.
4249
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
4250
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
4251
      MyDll.dpr.
4252
 
4253
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
4254
      file.
4255
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
4256
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
4257
      MyProg.dpr.
4258
 
4259
Minor changes:
4260
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
4261
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
4262
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
4263
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
4264
 
4265
    * BuildVersion directive
4266
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
4267
      in a Delphi Unit.
4268
 
4269
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
4270
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
4271
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
4272
      'know' the location of the files.
4273
 
4274
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
4275
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
4276
 
4277
Internal Changes:
4278
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
4279
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
4280
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
4281
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
4282
 
4283
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
4284
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
4285
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.
4286

287 dpurdie 4288
Version:  2.78.4000.cr                               Released: 30-Apr-09
4289
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4290
Major changes:
4291
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
4292
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
4293
      information for purely C++ builds.
4294
 
289 dpurdie 4295
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
4296
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 4297
 
289 dpurdie 4298
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
4299
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
4300
            Manager
287 dpurdie 4301
 
4302
Minor changes:
4303
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the
4304
      environment. This only affects the build daemons.
4305
 
4306
    * updatenodespec utility
4307
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
4308
      Manager database.

      Not completly fixed, but much better than before.
4319
 
4320
    * Escrow tool
4321
      Remove warning created during normal operation
4322

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4328
Major changes:
4329
    * New Platform: H400
4330
      Supported by the KIELARMV3 toolset.
4331
      Refer to the Jats Reference Manual for toolset specific options
4332
 
4333
Minor changes:
4334
    * MergeLibrary directive
4335
      Allow a library that has been created in the same makefile.pl as the
4336
      directive to be located, without the need to 'install' it first.
4337
 
4338

Major changes:
4343
 
4344
Minor changes:
4345
    * New command: jats make show
4346
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
4347
      used in the build.
4348
 
4349
    * Escrow command
4350
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
4351
 
4352
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
4353
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
4354
      build files against the Release Manager information.
4355
 
4356
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
4357
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
4358
 
4359

277 dpurdie 4361
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4362
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 4363
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 4364
 
279 dpurdie 4365
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
4366
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
4367
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 4368
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 4369
 
4370
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
4371
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
4372
 
4373
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
4374
 
4375
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
4376
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
4377
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
4378
 
4379
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
4380
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
4381
        processed.
4382
 
4383
      Removed the '-delete' option
4384
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
4385
 
277 dpurdie 4386
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 4387
    * Sandbox command
4388
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
4389
 
4390
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
4391
      target from consideration in the build set.
4392
 
4393
    * MCR Toolset
4394
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
4395
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
4396
 
4397
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
4398
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
4399
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
4400
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
4401
 
4402
    * Jats run_test command
4403
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
4404
      tests we run on a Window machine.
4405
 
4406
    * descpkg file
4407
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
4408
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
4409
 
4410
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
4411
     Now contains build trace information
4412
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
4413
 
4414
   * jats abt command simplified usage
4415
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
4416
     it contains 'jar' files.
4417
 
4418
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
4419
 
4420
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
4421
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
4422
 
4423
   * BuildVersion directive
4424
     Form:
4425
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
4426
     now works as expected.
4427
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
4428
 
4429
Internal Changes:
4430
 
4431
    * Error reporting mechanism
4432
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
4433
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
4434
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

  * Jats Wrapper
4444
    Added -NoExportVars option to allow use of JATS to startup build daemons
4445
    without fixing the version of JATS that is used by the processes the daemon
4446
    then starts.
4447
 
4448
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
4449
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
4450
 
4451
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
4452
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
4453
    non-platform option.
4454
 
279 dpurdie 4455
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

4473
        packages will prevent the utility from processing that subdirectory.
4474
 
4475
        Extended command sets to allow the command 'all', 'build' and 'make'
4476
        to be processed as commands to be invoked in all sandbox components
4477
 
4478
    * Jats Make: New EnvVars

4482
        GBE_MAKE_CFG                - Internal config
4483
 
4484

4486
      to the invoked application.
4487
 
4488
Internal Changes:

4619
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
4620
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
4621
 
4622
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.

4885
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
4886
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
4887
 
4888
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
4889
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
4890
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
4891
 
4892
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
4893
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
4894
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
4895
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
4896
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
4897
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
4898
          under VS2005.
4899
 
4900
Minor changes:
4901
    * New Jats utility: dstatus
4902
      Display Build Daemon Status. A text based utility.
4903
      Use 'jats dstatus -man' for full details.
4904
 
4905
    * PPC_603E Toolset
4906
      Changed the definition of HOST_CPU to be correct for the linux
4907
      architecture that uses the value - powerpc.
4908
 
4909
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
4910
 
4911
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
4912
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
4913
 
4914
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
4915
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
4916
      a minimal value of perl.
4917
 
4918
      Removed excessive require statements.
4919
 
4920
    * JATS internal utilities - xmake
4921
      Source for Make 3.81 is now controlled
4922
      Include JATS specific files for
4923
        1) Windows
4924
        2) Linux
4925
 
4926
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
4927
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
4928
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
4929
      machines.
4930
 
4931
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
4932
      Extended internal debugging via EnvVar SHDEBUGEXEC
4933
 
4934
    * JATS Environment
4935
      Allow Jats Environment variables that are used to specify a directory
4936
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
4937
 
4938
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
4939
      wrapper scripts.
4940
 
4941
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
4942
      Correct problem with location of build files.
4943
      Spell check help and code.

4995
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4996
Major changes:
247 dpurdie 4997
  * New toolset and platform
4998
    Added support for the PPC_603E platform.
4999
    This uses the powerpc-603e-linux-gnu compiler
5000
    The DEVLINUX and LMOS_DEVLINUX targets have been extended to include
5001
    this platform.
5002
 
5003
Minor changes:
5004
  * Jats utility: CCdiff
5005
    Extended operation to allow one side of the comparison to be a directory
5006
    within a static view. This allows comparison between a label and current
5007
    work.
5008
 
5009
  * Jats utility: release
5010
    Added checking of correct package name and version when files are
5011
    published to dpkg_archive.
5012
 
249 dpurdie 5013
  * Jats utility: jats_rewrite [DEVI-034837]
247 dpurdie 5014
    Extended operation to allow the special properties to be transferred from
5015
    Release Manager to the build tool to the target build. Currently only
5016
    supported for ANT builds.
5017
 
5018
    New 'known' ANT properties are:
5019
        releasemanager.releasename
5020
        releasemanager.projectname
5021
 
5022
    The configuration file, used by this utility, has been extended to support
5023
    tagged data item of the form
5024
 
5025
        releasemanager.releasename = value
5026
        releasemanager.projectname = value
5027
 
5028
  * Mug File Generation
5029
    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
5030
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
5031
 
5032
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
5033
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
5034
    required.
5035
 
5036
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
5037
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
5038
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
5039
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
5040
    the files in order to use them.
5041
 
5042
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
5043
    locate the file.
5044
 
5045
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
5046
    to ensure backward compatibility.
5047
 
5048
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
5049
        * CSharp
5050
        * Properties
5051
        * WinRC
5052
 
5053
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
5054
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
5055
    The case of the value is now preserved.
5056
    Value is correctly assigned.

5061
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 5062
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
5063
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
5064
 
5065
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
5066
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
5067
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
5068
 
5069
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
5070
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
5071
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
5072
 
5073
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
5074
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
5075
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
5076
 
5077
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
5078
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
5079
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
5080
    correct.
5081
 
5082
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
5083
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
5084
 
5085
Minor changes:
5086
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
5087
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 5088
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 5089
 
5090
    This should improve build reproducibility.
5091
    This will simplify new user setup.
5092
 
5093
  * All Unix Toolsets
5094
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
5095
    on unix systems
5096
 
5097
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
5098
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
5099
    on some Solaris Machines.
5100
 
5101
  * JATS -version=<version>
5102
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
5103
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

5151
    mode.
5152
 
5153
  * JATS makefiles
5154
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first

    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
5156
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
5157
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
5158
                            SetList directive.
5159

    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
5286
 
5287
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
5288
      <project> field.
5289
 
5290
    * CCdiff utility
5291
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
5292
 
5293
    * Escrow utility
5294
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
5295
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package
5296
 
5297
    * Minor Perl-10 tweaks

Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 5305
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
5306
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
5307
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
5308
 
5309
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5310
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
5311
 
5312
    * Jats wrapper
5313
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
5314
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
5315

Major changes:
229 dpurdie 5320
    * Jats Release Mechanism
5321
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
5322
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
5323
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
5324
 
5325
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
5326
 
5327
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
5328
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
5329
 
5330
    * Running Jats
5331
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
5332
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
5333
      This may affect some windows developers.
5334
 
5335
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
5336
      Future versions will generate an error.
5337
 
5338
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
5339
 
5340
Minor changes:
5341
    * Perl Version Check
5342
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
5343
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
5344
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
5345
 
5346
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
5347
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
5348
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
5349
      build.
5350
 
5351
    * Jats Internals
5352
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
5353
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
5354
 
5355
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
5356
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
5357
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
5358
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
5359
      process.
5360
 
5361
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
5362
      Only works under Windows.
5363
 
5364
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
5365
 
5366
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
5367
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
5368
 
5369
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
5370
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
5371
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
5372
 
5373
    * Jats eprog
5374
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
5375
      directory.
5376
 
5377
    * jats tool jats_metrics
5378
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
5379
      build metrics.
5380

5384
Major changes:
5385
 
5386
Minor changes:
5387
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
5388
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
5389
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
5390
      automated build system. New options are:
5391
        -pname=Package_Name
5392
        -pversion=Package_Version
5393
 
5394
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
5395
      transferring the package. New options are:
5396
        -test
5397
 
5398
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5399
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
5400
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
5401
 
5402
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
5403
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
5404
 
5405
    * Solaris Toolset
5406
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
5407
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
5408
      programs are still supported.

5413
Major changes:
5414
 
5415
Minor changes:
5416
    * WINCE toolsets
5417
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
5418
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
5419
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
5420
      when header files cannot be found.
5421
 
5422
    * GenerateFiles directive
5423
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
5424
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
5425
      that are difficult to solve.
5426
 
5427
    * MakePerlModule directive
5428
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
5429
      to the the module builder.
5430
 
5431
    * Jats Tool: label
5432
      Add the ability to label specific sub-directories (-dirs=name[,name]+)
5433
      Allow the -up option to be used in conjunction with the  -files=xxx and
5434
      -dirs=xxx options.
5435
 
5436
    * Jats Tool: release
5437
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
5438
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
5439
 
5440
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
5441
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
5442
 
5443
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
5444
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
5445
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
5446
 
5447
      Use jats CCdiff -help (or -man) for further details.

5453
Major changes:
5454
    * New Platform : MOS68KRM
5455
      Building MOS for the 68K processor for Rome
5456
      Requires the Microtec 4.5R compiler
5457
      Similar to MOS68K, but has different optimization and definitions
5458
 
5459
Minor changes:
5460
    * label utility
5461
      Better handling of filenames with embedded spaces.
5462
 
5463
    * make package and install operations
5464
      Improved the error detection and reported that may occur during a file
5465
      transfer.
5466
 
5467
    * make clean up
5468
      Improved the cleanup of generated files.
5469
 
5470
    * Jats Tool: jats_transform_file
5471
      Tool that can be used within makefiles and test harnesses to perform
5472
      minor file transformations such as:
5473
        Copy, with optional rename
5474
        Force Dos or Unix style line endings
5475
        Perform simple TAG replacement
5476
 
5477
      Use 'jats jats_transform_file -help' for details
5478
 
5479
    * jats release utility
5480
      Added the -extractfiles option to extract files without leaving a view
5481
      in place.
5482
 
5483
    * escrow utility
5484
      Added -extract option to assist in creating images of all files in
5485
      the escrow, with a log file to summarize success/failure of the extraction.

Minor changes:
5493
    * Makefile generation
5494
      Corrected a problem in the detection of a generated target
5495
      Some JAVA builds were not correctly detecting the need to run the
5496
      generate phase early.

5501
Major changes:
5502
 
5503
Minor changes:
5504
    * GBE_PLATFORM operation
5505
      Restored operation of GBE_PLATFORM. This feature is not encouraged.
5506
 
5507
    * Makefile generation
5508
      Added a sanity check to generate a warning if a file is packaged, or
5509
      installed, from more than one makefile.pl
5510
 
5511
    * Utilities gen_msproject, gen_dirlist and gen_metrics
5512
      Modified to use generic interface to the makefile data
5513
 
5514
    * AutoBuilder support tool 'save_build'
5515
      Check for users having placed locks on the build file and the autobuild
5516
      branch. The locks will be removed.
5517
 
5518
    * jats_rewrite utility
5519
      Better handling of DOS line ending under Unix
5520
 
5521
    * jats escrow utility
5522
      Can now create a simple escrow build, and information, on a Release.
5523
      Still handles an escrow based on an SBOM.
5524
 
5525
      Can be used to create an HTML report on unbuildable packages and
5526
      inconsistent packages.
5527
 
5528
    * jats make help
5529
      Corrected the list of target platforms to only show those that are
5530
      available within the current build.
5531
 
5532
    * jats makefiles
5533
      Modified the behaviour of jats when multiple instances of the
5534
      MakefileGenerate() directive are found.
5535
 
5536
      If the MakefileGenerate() directive is found in the 'common' makefile.
5537
      pl, then it will be ignored.
5538
 
5539
    * gcc toolset
5540
      SharedLibries.
5541
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
5542
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
5543
 
5544
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
5545
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
5546
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.
5547
 
5548
      SharedLibraries and Prog (Experimental)
5549
        New options:
5550
            --MultiScan
5551
            --NoMultiScan ( default)
5552
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
5553
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

Major changes:
5560
 
5561
Minor changes:
5562
    PackageLib directive
5563
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
5564
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
5565
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
5566
 
5567
    MakefileGenerate directive
5568
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
5569
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
5570
 
5571
    Multiple Parent detection
5572
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
5573
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
5574
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
5575
    condition will be treated as a warning.
5576
 
5577
    Solaris Toolset
5578
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
5579
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
5580
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
5581
    link.
5582
 
5583
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
5584
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
5585
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
5586
 
5587
    Make and generation of subdirectories
5588
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
5589
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
5590
    file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5595
Major changes:
5596
    Makefile generation and make recursion
5597
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
5598
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
5599
 
5600
    Summary of changes:
5601
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
5602
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
5603
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
5604
          flexibility.
5605
 
5606
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
5607
 
5608
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
5609
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
5610
          interface directory and associated build information.
5611
 
5612
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
5613
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
5614
          than one second.
5615
 
5616
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
5617
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
5618
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
5619
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
5620
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
5621
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
5622
 
5623
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
5624
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
5625
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
5626
 
5627
        - Better makefile rebuilding
5628
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
5629
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
5630
          building them.
5631
 
5632
        - Detection of build file changes
5633
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
5634
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
5635
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
5636
 
5637
        - Quieter make output
5638
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
5639
 
5640
 
5641
Minor changes:
5642
    MakeAnt Directive
5643
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
5644
 
5645
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
5646
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
5647
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
5648
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
5649
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
5650
 
5651
    CSHARP toolset
5652
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories
5653

    Java target. Resolve problem of multiple project builds when multiple files
5661
    are generated.
5662
 
5663
    MakeAnt
5664
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
5665
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
5666
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
5667
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.
5668

    MakeAnt directive extended
5680
    New option: --PackageBase
5681
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
5682
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
5683
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
5684
 
5685
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
5686
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
5687
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
5688
        package image being created.

5708
 
5709
    Do not migrate to this version of JATS if you are building against
5710
    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
5711
 
5712
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
5713
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
5714
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
5715
 
5716
    The new compiler will need to be installed on users VM's
5717
    The compiler package is dpkg_archive/linux_gnu_tools/1.1.0000.cots
5718
    The binary is:crosstool-gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.5.tar.bz2

5746
Minor changes:
5747
    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
5748
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
5749
 
5750
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
5751
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
5752
      last.
5753
 
5754
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
5755
 
5756
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
5757
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
5758
 
5759
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
5760
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
5761
 
5762
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
5763
 
5764
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
5765
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
5766
 
5767
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
5768
 
5769
 
5770
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
5771
           with the --System option
5772
 
5773
    * LMOS target platform

5779
Major changes:
5780
 
5781
Minor changes:
5782
    * Solaris Toolset
5783
      Corrected library search order, such that /usr/lib is search after the
5784
      dependent packages.
5785
 
5786
    * RunTest operation
5787
      Added the current directory '.' to the PATH used when the test is run.
5788
 
5789
    * Csharp toolkit
5790
      .dtd files are treated as resource files too

5794
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5795
Major changes:
5796
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
5797
 
5798
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
5799
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
5800
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
5801
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
5802
      path.
5803
 
5804
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
5805
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
5806
      reproducible.
5807
 
5808
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
5809
      This is better than building incorrectly.
5810
 
5811
      There are several aspects to the change
5812
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
5813
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
5814
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
5815
 
5816
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
5817
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
5818
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
5819
          controlled separately.
5820
 
5821
Minor changes:
5822
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
5823
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
5824
        Remove duplicates
5825
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
5826

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
5829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5830
Major changes:
5831
 
5832
Minor changes:
5833
    * Makefile sanity test
5834
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
5835
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
5836
 
5837
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
5838
      x86 machine.
5839
 
5840
    * Correct bug in RunTest
5841
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
5842
 
5843
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5844
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
5845
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5846
Major changes:
5847
    * RunTest directive
5848
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
5849
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
5850
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
5851
 
5852
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
5853
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
5854
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
5855
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
5856
 
5857
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
5858
        builder within the current toolset.
5859
 
5860
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
5861
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
5862
 
5863
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
5864
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
5865
      containing the RunTest directive.
5866
 
5867
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
5868
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
5869
 
5870
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
5871
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
5872
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
5873
 
5874
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
5875
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
5876
                            P or D suffix.
5877
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
5878
                            select the correct library type for this build.
5879
 
5880
Minor changes:
5881
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
5882
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
5883
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
5884
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
5885
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
5886
 
5887
    * Save Build Utility
5888
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
5889
      used in a ripple build.
5890
 
5891
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
5892
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
5893
 
5894
    * Release Utility
5895
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
5896
      when an error is encountered.
5897
 
5898
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
5899
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
5900
 
5901
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
5902
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
5903
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
5904
 
5905
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
5906
      before the makefiles are created.
5907
 
5908
    * TestProg directive
5909
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
5910
 
5911
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
5912
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.

5917
Major changes:
5918
    * New build target
5919
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
5920
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
5921
 
5922
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
5923
            DEVLINUX
5924
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
5925
 
5926
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
5927
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
5928
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
5929
 
5930
Minor changes:
5931
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
5932
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
5933
 
5934
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
5935
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
5936
 
5937
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
5938
      and .cs files.
5939
 
5940
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
5941
      thing.
5942
 
5943
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
5944
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
5945
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
5946
      were it places temp files.
5947
 
5948
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
5949
      interaction with other builds.
5950
 
5951
    * Release utility command
5952
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
5953
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
5954
      component in the clearcase tag name.

6016
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
6017
 
6018
  * build.pl
6019
    Better error check on a packages version number.
6020
 
6021
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
6022
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
6023
 
6024
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
6025
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
6026
    build.

6042
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6043
Major changes:
6044
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
6045
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
6046
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
6047
 
6048
  * GenerateFiles
6049
    Added the options:
6050
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
6051
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
6052
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
6053
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
6054
 
6055
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
6056
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
6057
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
6058
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
6059
                                  required.
6060
 
6061
 
6062
Minor changes:
6063
  * GenerateFile directive
6064
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
6065
 
6066
  * GCC Toolset
6067
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
6068
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
6069
    be rebuilt.
6070
 
6071
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
6072
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
6073
 
6074
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6075
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
6076
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6077
Major changes:
6078
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
6079
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
6080
    environment variables.
6081
 
6082
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
6083
            moved.
6084
 
6085
    This will affect users that:
6086
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
6087
           Some tools that build deployable packages
6088
 
6089
        2) Use the ABT system
6090
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
6091
           the required configuration
6092
 
6093
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
6094
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
6095
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
6096
    Windows
6097
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
5909 dpurdie 6098
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RM_READONLY
6099
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6100
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
227 dpurdie 6101
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
5909 dpurdie 6102
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DM_READONLY
6103
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DM_READONLY
5710 dpurdie 6104
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://bms:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
227 dpurdie 6105
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
6106
 
6107
 
6108
  * New build platforms
6109
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6110
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
6111
 
6112
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6113
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6114
 
6115
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
6116
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
6117
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
6118
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
6119
 
6120
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
6121
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
6122
    release.
6123
 
6124
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
6125
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
6126
 
6127
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
6128
    need to be converted.
6129
 
6130
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
6131
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
6132
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
6133
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
6134
    used for different targets platforms.
6135
 
6136
  * Sandbox support
6137
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6138
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
6139
 
6140
    New command: jats sandbox ...
6141
 
6142
Minor changes:
6143
 
6144
 
6145
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6146
Version: JATS_2.64.1                                Released: 03-May-07
6147
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6148
Major changes:
6149
  * MakeAnt directive
6150
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
6151
 
6152
    New options
6153
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
6154
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
6155
 
6156
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
6157
    run_unit_tests phase.
6158
 
6159
  * Sandbox support
6160
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
6161
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
6162
 
6163
Minor changes:
6164
  * jats build
6165
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
6166
    platforms that will be 'built'.
6167
 
6168
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
6169
 
6170
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
6171
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
6172
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
6173
 
6174
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
6175
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
6176
 
6177
  * JATS.BAT
6178
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
6179
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
6180
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
6181
 
6182
  * jats label
6183
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
6184
 
6185
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6186
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
6187
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6188
Major changes:
6189
  * New build platform:
6190
        LMOS_TP5600
6191
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
6192
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6193
 
6194
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
6195
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
6196
    describe the group of platforms.
6197
 
6198
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
6199
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
6200
    build these targets.
6201
 
6202
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
6203
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
6204
 
6205
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
6206
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
6207
 
6208
  * New build platform: WINCE
6209
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
6210
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
6211
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
6212
 
6213
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
6214
            WCEIT3000
6215
            WCEPA961
6216
            WCEPA962
6217
            WCEPCM7220
6218
            WCEPSION_420
6219
            WCEPSPC_arm
6220
            WCEPSPC_emu
6221
            WCEX86A420
6222
            WCEX86A500
6223
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
6224
 
6225
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
6226
 
6227
 *  JATS makefile.pl
6228
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
6229
    that contain packaging directives.
6230
 
6231
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
6232
    very unusual configurations.
6233
 
6234
Minor changes:
6235
  * Directive: PackageFile
6236
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
6237
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
6238
    an '='.
6239
 
6240
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
6241
    of "--Subdir=etc".
6242
 
6243
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
6244
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
6245
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
6246
 
6247
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
6248
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
6249
 
6250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6251
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
6252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6253
Major changes:
6254
 
6255
  * JATS release command
6256
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
6257
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
6258
 
6259
    Rules are:
6260
        Modify a file:      File will branch
6261
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
6262
                            File will be placed on a branch
6263
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
6264
                            New directory will branch
6265
 
6266
Minor changes:
6267
  * JATS release command
6268
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
6269
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
6270
 
6271
  * JATS label command
6272
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
6273
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
6274
 
6275
  * JATS make
6276
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
6277
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
6278
    was re-packaged.
6279
 
6280
  * JATS escrow
6281
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
6282
    Use jats escrow -help for details
6283
 
6284
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
6285
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
6286
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
6287
 
6288
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
6289
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
6290
    interface directory.
6291
 
6292
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
6293
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
6294
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
6295
    directory as seen by the package.
6296
 
6297
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
6298
 
6299
  * JAVA 6
6300
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
6301
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
6302
 
6303
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
6304
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
6305
 
6306
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
6307
 
6308
  * Jats command: vars
6309
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
6310
    These indicate potential problems.
6311
 
6312
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6313
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
6314
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6315
Major changes:
6316
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
6317
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
6318
    libarry is also created.
6319
 
6320
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
6321
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
6322
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
6323
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
6324
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
6325
    information contained within the file.
6326
 
6327
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
6328
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
6329
 
6330
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
6331
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
6332
 
6333
  * Building Perl Modules
6334
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
6335
    documentation on the build machine.
6336
 
6337
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
6338
 
6339
Minor changes:
6340
  * jats create_dpkg
6341
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
6342
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
6343
 
6344
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6345
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
6346
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6347
Major changes:
6348
  * JATS JAVA build target
6349
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
6350
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
6351
 
6352
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
6353
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
6354
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
6355
    is then picked up as the default version.
6356
 
6357
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
6358
    build.pl file.
6359
 
6360
Minor changes:
6361
  * jats release
6362
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
6363
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
6364
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
6365
 
6366
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
6367
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
6368
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
6369
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
6370
    the name of the view.
6371
 
6372
  * GenerateFiles directive
6373
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
6374
 
6375
  * MOS Toolset
6376
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
6377
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
6378
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
6379
 
6380
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
6381
 
6382
 
6383
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6384
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
6385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6386
Major changes:
6387
 
6388
Minor changes:
6389
  * JATS environment
6390
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
6391
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
6392
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
6393
 
6394
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
6395
 
6396
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
6397
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
6398
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
6399
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
6400
    to be packaged.
6401
 
6402
  * Generated makefiles
6403
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
6404
 
6405
  * Generating MOS THX files
6406
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
6407
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
6408
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
6409
 
6410
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
6411
 
6412
  * JATS release
6413
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
6414
 
6415
  * JATS extract
6416
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
6417
 
6418
  * JATS Toolset
6419
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
6420
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
6421
 
6422
 
6423
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6424
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
6425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6426
Major changes:
6427
 
6428
Minor changes:
6429
  * jats label
6430
    Added a -vob=name option
6431
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
6432
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
6433
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
6434
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
6435
 
6436
    Added a -user=name option
6437
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
6438
    label to the named user.
6439
 
6440
  * jats release
6441
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
6442
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
6443
 
6444
  * JATS build.pl
6445
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
6446
    ie:
6447
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
6448

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6451
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
6452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6453
Major changes:
6454
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
6455
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
6456
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
6457
    the makefile internals. ie:
6458
        --Var(BuildName)
6459
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
6460
        -BuildName=MyPackage
6461
 
6462
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
6463
 
6464
  * GenerateFiles
6465
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
6466
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
6467
 
6468
  * BuildPlatforms
6469
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
6470
 
6471
Minor changes:
6472
  * GCC Toolset
6473
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
6474
 
6475
Internal changes:
6476
  * GenerateFiles
6477
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
6478
 
6479
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
6480
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
6481
 
6482
 
6483
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6484
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
6485
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6486
Major changes:
6487
  * Caching JATS
6488
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
6489
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
6490
 
6491
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
6492
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
6493
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
6494
 
6495
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
6496
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
6497
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
6498
 
6499
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
6500
 
6501
Minor changes:
6502
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
6503
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
6504
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
6505
 
6506
  * jats build
6507
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
6508
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
6509
    processed by the build.
6510
 
6511
  * jats build
6512
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
6513
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
6514
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
6515
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
6516
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
6517
 
6518
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
6519
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
6520
    Path is not specified.
6521
 
6522
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
6523
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
6524
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
6525
        --Dir=$Pinc
6526
    but $Pinc is not defined.
6527
 
6528
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
6529
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
6530
    Windows platform.
6531
 
6532
        - OPTIONS=purecov
6533
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
6534
            by 'purecov.
6535
 
6536
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6537
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
6538
 
6539
        - OPTIONS=purify
6540
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
6541
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
6542
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
6543

Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
6547
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6548
Major changes:
6549
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
6550
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
6551
    Example:
6552
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
6553
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
6554
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
6555
 
6556
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
6557
    been determined.
6558
 
6559
Minor changes:
6560
  * Added the ScanList directive.
6561
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
6562
    located at build-time.
6563
 
6564
  * Unix based systems
6565
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
6566
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
6567
 
6568
  * MakeLinuxDriver
6569
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
6570
    driver being built.
6571
 
6572

6588
    dependancy information within a package.
6589
 
6590
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
6591
    messages.

6603
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
6604
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
6605
                      be run on every invocation.
6606
 
6607
 
6608

6613
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
6614
  There are two mechanism:
6615
 
6616
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
6617
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
6618
 
6619
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
6620
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
6621
 
6622
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
6623
  default.

6631
  * SunWorks Toolset
6632
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
6633
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
6634
    It is based on machine type.
6635
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
6636
 
6637
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
6638
 
6639

    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
6667
 
6668
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
6669
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
6670
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
6671
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
6672
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
6673
 
6674
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
6675
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
6676
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
6677
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
6678
 
6679
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
6680
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

Minor changes:
6695
  * JATS wrapper script
6696
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
6697
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
6698
    to setup links to system programs.

6739
 
6740
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
6741
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
6742
    Theses are:
6743
        SOLARIS_SPARC
6744
        SOLARIS_AMD
6745
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
6746
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
6747
 
6748
Minor changes:

6764
    messages
6765
 
6766
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
6767
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
6768
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
6769
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
6770

6776
Minor changes:
6777
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
6778
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6779
    library without creating the body of the library:
6780
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
6781
 
6782
 
6783
  * MOS toolsets
6784
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
6785
    library without creating the body of the library:
6786
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
6787
 
6788
  * JATS BIN directories
6789
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
6790
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
6791
    using autoconf.
6792
 
6793
  * Generate directive
6794
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
6795
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
6796
 
6797
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.

6814
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
6815
    Initial release.
6816
 
6817
  * Packaging directives
6818
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
6819
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
6820
 
6821
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
6822
        SOLARIS
6823
        WIN32
6824
 
6825
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
6826
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
6827
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
6828
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
6829
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
6830
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
6831
 
6832
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
6833
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
6834
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
6835
 
6836
 
6837
Minor changes:
6838
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
6839
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
6840
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
6841
 
6842
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
6843
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
6844
    location
6845
 
6846
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
6847
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
6848
 
6849
  * Utility genrc
6850
    Added the company name to the copyright string
6851
 
6852
  * Utility: jats_save_build
6853
    Added option: -new
6854
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
6855
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
6856
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
6857
 
6858
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6859
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
6860
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
6861
 
6862
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
6863
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
6864
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
6865
 
6866
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
6867
   features - in a uniform manner.
6868
 
6869
 
6870
Internal Changes:
6871
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
6872
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
6873
 
6874
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
6875
        1) Platform information available at build time
6876
        2) Dynamic platform names
6877
 
6878
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
6879
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
6880
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
6881
 
6882
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
6883
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
6884
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
6885
 
6886
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
6887
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
6888
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
6889
    needed.
6890
 
6891
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
6892
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
6893
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
6894
    files from all of these.

6897
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06
6898
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6899
Major changes:
6900
 
6901
Minor changes:
6902
  * WinCE toolset
6903
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
6904
 
6905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6906
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
6907
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6908
Major changes:
6909
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
6910
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
6911
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
6912
 
6913
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
6914
 
6915
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
6916
    the operations.
6917
 
6918
    The version option MUST be the first option.
6919
 
6920
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
6921
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
6922
 
6923
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
6924
 
6925
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
6926
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
6927
 
6928
  * Utility: create_dpkg
6929
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
6930
    Extended the built-in help
6931
    Added useful error messages
6932
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
6933
 
6934
  * WinCE toolset
6935
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
6936
 
6937
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
6938
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
6939
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
6940
 
6941
Minor changes:
6942
  * JATS wrapper script
6943
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
6944
    the command line.
6945
 
6946
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
6947
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
6948
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
6949
 
6950
Internal Changes:
6951
  * Common Error Reporting
6952
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
6953
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
6954
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
6955
    level.
6956
 
6957
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
6958
    displayed.
6959
 
6960
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
6961
 
6962
  * Added JatsSystem module
6963
    Common code for accessing system commands        
6964
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6965
Version: JATS_2.54.3                                Released: 17-Jul-06
6966
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6967
Major changes:
6968
 
6969
Minor changes:
6970
  * BR Compiler toolset
6971
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
6972
    .def files to include other files.
6973
 
6974
  * IAR toolset
6975
    Added AT7272 support
6976
 
6977
  * Tool: jats_manifest
6978
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
6979
 
6980
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6981
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06
6982
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6983
Major changes:
6984
 
6985
Minor changes:
6986
  * BR Compiler toolset
6987
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
6988
    use.
6989
 
6990
 
6991
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6992
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
6993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6994
Major changes:
6995
 
6996
Minor changes:
6997
  * Mictotec toolset
6998
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
6999
    builds.
7000
 
7001
  * JATS Core
7002
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
7003
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
7004
    behaviour.
7005
 
7006
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7007
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
7008
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7009
Major changes:
7010
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
7011
    Deployment package will be affected.
7012
 
7013
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
7014
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
7015
 
7016
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
7017
 
7018
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
7019
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
7020
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
7021
    packages.
7022
 
7023
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
7024
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
7025
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
7026
 
7027
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
7028
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
7029
 
7030
Minor changes:
7031
  * SubDir directive
7032
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
7033
    a directory from two different makefiles.
7034
 
7035
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
7036
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
7037
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
7038
    of the file usage.
7039
 
7040
  * New utility: jats_manifest
7041
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
7042
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
7043
 
7044
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
7045
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
7046
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
7047
 
7048
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
7049
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
7050
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
7051
    will execute a JATS extended command.
7052
 
7053
 
7054
Internal Changes:
7055
  * Code refactor
7056
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
7057
 
7058
  * Deployment utilities
7059
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
7060
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
7061
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
7062
    the module can locate the file.
7063
 
7064
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
7065
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
7066
 
7067
  * JATS core
7068
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
7069
 
7070
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
7071
 
7072
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
7073
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
7074
    through the use of environment variables.
7075
 
7076
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
7077
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
7078
 
7079
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
7080
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
7081
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
7082
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
7083
 
7084
  * Make environment
7085
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
7086
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
7087
 
7088
 
7089
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7090
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
7091
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7092
Major changes:
7093
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
7094
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
7095
 
7096
 
7097
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7098
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
7099
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7100
 
7101
Not Released.
7102
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
7103
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
7104
 
7105
 
7106
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7107
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
7108
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7109
Major changes:
7110
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
7111
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
7112
    radically replaced.
7113
 
7114
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
7115
    Usage:
7116
        jats etool test_rmconnection
7117
 
7118
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
7119
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
7120
    this solution:
7121
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
7122
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
7123
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
7124
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
7125
 
7126
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
7127
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
7128
    order to work.
7129
 
7130
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
7131
    reduced functionality.
7132
 
7133
 
7134
Minor changes:
7135
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7136
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
7137
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
7138
 
7139
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
7140
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
7141
    within the makefiles.
7142
        Options:
7143
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
7144
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
7145
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
7146
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
7147
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
7148
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
7149
        Useage:
7150
 
7151
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
7152
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
7153
 
7154
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
7155
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
7156
    is not in the current directory.
7157
 
7158
  * Jats Command: ant'
7159
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
7160
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
7161
 
7162
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
7163
 
7164
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
7165
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
7166
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
7167
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
7168
 
7169
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
7170
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
7171
    Thus
7172
 
7173
        set_WIN32.bat prog
7174
 
7175
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
7176
 
7177
 
7178
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7179
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
7180
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7181
Major changes:
7182
 
7183
Minor changes:
7184
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
7185
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
7186
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
7187
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7188
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
7189
 
7190
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
7191
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
7192
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
7193
 
7194
Internal changes:
7195
  * JATS toolsets
7196
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
7197
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
7198
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
7199
 
7200
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
7201
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
7202
 
7203
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7204
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
7205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7206
Major changes:
7207
  * Jats command: etool
7208
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
7209
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
7210
 
7211
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
7212
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
7213
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
7214
    extension. It was bad. Now:
7215
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
7216
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
7217
 
7218
Minor changes:
7219
 
7220
 
7221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7222
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
7223
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7224
Major changes:
7225
  * JATS environment variables
7226
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
7227
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
7228
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
7229
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
7230
        will not publish packages in this repository.
7231
 
7232
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
7233
              Remote repository
7234
 
7235
    Added GBE_DPLY
7236
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
7237
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
7238
 
7239
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7240
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
7241
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
7242
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
7243
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
7244
 
7245
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
7246
    processed once and it will be processed last.
7247
 
7248
 
7249
Minor changes:
7250
  * JATS utility: build
7251
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
7252
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
7253
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
7254
 
7255
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
7256
    Ensure label is not locked
7257
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
7258
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
7259
 
7260
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
7261
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
7262
    to a specific type of build.
7263
 
7264
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
7265
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
7266
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
7267
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
7268
 
7269
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
7270
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
7271
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
7272
 
7273
  * JATS utility: release
7274
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
7275
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
7276
 
7277
  * JATS utility: label
7278
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
7279
    when it is being created.
7280
 
7281
Internal Changes
7282
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
7283
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
7284
 
7285
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
7286
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
7287
 
7288
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
7289
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
7290
    different results.
7291
 
7292
  * ToolsetRequire directive
7293
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
7294
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
7295
 
7296
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7297
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
7298
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7299
Major changes:
7300
 
7301
  * MCR toolset
7302
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
7303
 
7304
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7305
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
7306
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7307
Major changes:
7308
  * WIN32 utilities
7309
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
7310
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
7311
 
7312
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
7313
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
7314
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
7315
 
7316
Minor changes:
7317
  * BuildVersion
7318
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
7319
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
7320
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
7321
 
7322
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
7323
 
7324
  * Unix Builds
7325
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
7326
    library or a shared library.
7327
 
7328
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
7329
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
7330
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
7331
    start with 'lib'.
7332
 
7333
  * BuildPkgArchive
7334
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
7335
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
7336
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
7337
 
7338
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7339
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
7340
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7341
Major changes:
7342
  * MOS_MRI toolset
7343
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
7344
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
7345
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
7346
    being manually maintained.
7347
 
7348
 
7349
Minor changes:
7350
  * MakeAnt directive
7351
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
7352
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
7353
    supports ANT builds.
7354
 
7355
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7356
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
7357
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
7358
 
7359
  * Label utility
7360
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
7361
    files to be labeled.
7362
 
7363
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
7364
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
7365
    on Solaris.
7366
 
7367
  * Generated makefiles
7368
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
7369
    nothing.
7370
 
7371
  * MOS Toolset
7372
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
7373
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
7374
    modules.
7375
 
7376
  * Utility: gen_cots
7377
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
7378
    and then check it in under clearcase.
7379
 
7380
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
7381
 
7382
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
7383
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
7384
 
7385
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7386
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
7387
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7388
Major changes:
7389
  None
7390
 
7391
Minor changes:
7392
  * DEVI addressed
7393
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
5710 dpurdie 7394
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "VIX Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
227 dpurdie 7395
 
7396
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
7397
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
7398
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
7399
 
7400
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
7401
 
7402
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
7403
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
7404
 
7405
  * RunTest directive
7406
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
7407
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
7408
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
7409
 
7410
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
7411
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
7412
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
7413
    packaged under JATS
7414
 
7415
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
7416
          supported within JATS.
7417
 
7418
  * Jats utility wrapper
7419
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
7420
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
7421
 
7422
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
7423
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
7424
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
7425
 
7426
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
7427
    Eg: jats ant
7428
 
7429
  * Jats utility wrapper
7430
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
7431
 
5710 dpurdie 7432
    This will run an VIX ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
227 dpurdie 7433
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
7434
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
7435
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
7436
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
7437
 
5710 dpurdie 7438
    If the VIX build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
227 dpurdie 7439
    expect a build.pl file.
7440
 
7441
  * Jats utility wrapper
7442
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
7443
 
7444
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
7445
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
7446
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
7447
 
7448
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
7449
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
7450
 
7451
  * Build files
7452
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
5710 dpurdie 7453
    VIX extensions.
227 dpurdie 7454
 
7455
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7456
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
7457
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7458
Major changes:
7459
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
7460
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
7461
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
7462
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
7463
 
7464
    This may cause module validation to fail.
7465
 
7466
Minor changes:
7467
  * None
7468
 
7469
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7470
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
7471
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7472
Major changes:
7473
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
7474
    Added option --Uses=NAME
7475
    ie:
7476
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
7477
 
7478
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
7479
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
7480
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
7481
    environments are compatible.
7482
 
7483
 
7484
Minor changes:
7485
  * BuildName option
7486
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
5710 dpurdie 7487
    that do not confirm to the VIX naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
227 dpurdie 7488
 
7489
  * jats.bat
7490
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
7491
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
7492
 
7493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7494
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
7495
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7496
Major changes:
7497
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
7498
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
7499
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
7500
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
7501
 
7502
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
7503
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
7504
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
7505
 
7506
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
7507
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
7508
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
7509
 
7510
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
7511
    transferred.
7512
 
7513
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
7514
    See notes below.
7515
 
7516
  * WIN32 toolset
7517
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
7518
    correctly.
7519
 
7520
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
7521
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
7522
 
7523
  * BuildVersion
7524
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
7525
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
7526
    other langauges as needed.
7527
 
7528
 
7529
Minor changes:
7530
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
7531
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
7532
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
7533
    version strings.
7534
 
7535
  * GenerateFiles directive
7536
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
7537
    package or an imported package.
7538
 
7539
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
7540
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
7541
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
7542
 
7543
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
7544
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
7545
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
7546
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
7547
    makefiles and strange error messages.
7548
 
7549
Internal Changes
7550
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
7551
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
7552
    of utilities.
7553
 
7554
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
7555
    functions.
7556
 
7557
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7558
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
7559
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7560
Major changes:
7561
  * Generated makefiles
7562
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
7563
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
7564
    that sed did not process its arguments.
7565
 
7566
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
7567
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
7568
    incorrectly processing:
7569
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
7570
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
7571
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
7572
    confused.
7573
 
7574
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
7575
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
7576
    The construct
7577
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
7578
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
7579
    then it works.
7580
 
7581
  * MakeAnt directive
7582
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
7583
 
7584
    This option has the following effects
7585
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
7586
           can be used installed and manipulated.
7587
 
7588
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
7589
           early - in the generated files phase.
7590
 
7591
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
7592
    component needs to generate a header file early.
7593
 
7594
 
7595
Minor changes:
7596
  * JATS post-installation script
7597
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
7598
 
7599
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
7600
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
7601
    windows.
7602
 
7603
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
7604
    Handle all variants of BuildName
7605
 
7606
  * Jats wrapper script
7607
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
7608
        1) Contain spaces
7609
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
7610
 
7611
  * Toolset
7612
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
7613
 
7614
  * JAVA toolset
7615
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
7616
    directive:
7617
 
7618
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
7619
 
7620
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
7621
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
7622
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
7623
 
7624
  * GCC Toolset
7625
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
7626
 
7627
  * Makefile generation
7628
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
7629
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
7630
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
7631
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
7632
    package could not be used.
7633
 
7634
  * Unit Tests
7635
    The following environment variables are set:
7636
 
7637
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
7638
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
7639
 
7640
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
7641
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
7642
 
7643
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
7644
 
7645
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
7646
 
7647
 
7648
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7649
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
7650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7651
Major changes:
7652
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
7653
 
7654
    Special features of this toolset.
7655
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
7656
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
7657
       incorporated within the target image.
7658
 
7659
    2) Prog directive extensions:
7660
       --Set=Name=Value
7661
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
7662
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
7663
 
7664
       --Ref=name
7665
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
7666
                to provide information that will be placed within the
7667
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
7668
                will be taken from the build version number.
7669
 
7670
Minor changes:
7671
  * MOS Toolset
7672
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
7673
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
7674
    packaged.
7675
 
7676
  * Src directive
7677
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
7678
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
7679
    specifier.
7680
 
7681
  * WIN32 runtime support
7682
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
7683
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
7684
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
7685
 
7686
Internal:
7687
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
7688
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
7689
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
7690
 
7691

7692
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
7693
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7694
Major changes:
7695
    * BuildAlias directive
7696
      Added options.
7697
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
7698
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
7699
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
7700
                          targets.
7701
      Eg:
7702
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
7703
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
7704
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
7705
 
7706
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
7707
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
7708
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
7709
 
7710
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
7711
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
7712
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
7713
 
7714
 
7715
Minor changes:
7716
  * Label utility
7717
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
7718
    build.pl file
7719
 
7720
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
7721
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
7722
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
7723
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
7724
    --FilterIn option.
7725
 
7726
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
7727
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
7728
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
7729
 
7730
  * Location of descpkg file
7731
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
7732
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
7733
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
7734
 
7735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7736
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
7737
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7738
Major changes:
7739
  * RunTest directive
7740
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
7741
    Additional options
7742
      --CopyIn=file
7743
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
7744
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
7745
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
7746
        the test area.
7747
 
7748
    Additional operations
7749
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
7750
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
7751
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
7752
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
7753
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
7754
    Allows flags:
7755
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
7756
      --file        - file part of the pathname
7757
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
7758
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
7759
 
7760
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
7761
    existence is tested.
7762
 
7763
  * Packaging Directives
7764
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
7765
    such as LMOS.
7766
 
7767
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
7768
 
7769
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
7770
 
7771
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
7772
 
7773
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
7774
 
7775
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
7776
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
7777
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
7778
 
7779
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
7780
 
7781
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
7782
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
7783
 
7784
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
7785
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
7786
 
7787
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
7788
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
7789
 
7790
Minor changes:
7791
  * Script directive
7792
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
7793
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
7794
 
7795
  * JATS environment
7796
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
7797
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
7798
    the JATS wrapper script.
7799
 
7800
  * Label utility
7801
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
7802
    There are three modes of operation:
7803
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
7804
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
7805
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
7806
 
7807
 
7808
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7809
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
7810
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7811
Major changes:
7812
 
7813
Minor changes:
7814
  * label utility
7815
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
7816
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
7817
 
7818
  * AVR_IAR toolset
7819
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
7820
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
7821
      --ProgLoader=name
7822
 
7823
  * Package directives. PackageFile
7824
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
7825
    Options to do this are:
7826
        --TreeDir=name
7827
        --FilterOut=regexp
7828
        --FilterIn=regexp
7829
        --StripDir
7830
 
7831
    Only a single directory can be specified.
7832
    Multiple filters are allowed.
7833
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
7834
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
7835
 
7836
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
7837
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
7838
 
7839
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
7840
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
7841
 
7842
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
7843
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
7844
 
7845
 
7846
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7847
Version: JATS_2.39.0                                Released: 14-Sep-05
7848
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7849
Major changes:
7850
    * Make commands
7851
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
7852
 
7853
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
7854
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
7855
 
7856
    * Label utility
7857
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
7858
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
7859
 
7860
Minor changes:
7861
    * Toolsets
7862
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
7863
      variables and overrides.
7864
 
7865
      The make_init target is always run.
7866
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
7867
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
7868
 
7869
    * Deployment
7870
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
7871
      with deployment operations.
7872
 
7873
    * Release utility
7874
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
7875
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
7876
      restricted by options within the build.
7877
 
7878
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
7879
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
7880
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
7881
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
7882
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
7883
 
7884
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
7885
      directives.
7886
 
7887
    * MakeProject directive
7888
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
7889
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
7890
 
7891
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
7892
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
7893
      is preserved.
7894
 
7895
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
7896
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
7897
      statements.
7898
 
7899
    * Mugfile generation
7900
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
7901
      be placed in the target package.
7902
 
7903
 
7904
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7905
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
7906
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7907
Major changes:
7908
    * BuildVersion directive
7909
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
7910
      number as well as a patch number.
7911
 
7912
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
7913
      number.
7914
 
7915
Minor changes:
7916
    * AddFlags directives
7917
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
7918
      duplicate flags being added.
7919
 
7920
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
7921
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
7922
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
7923
 
7924
    * Mug File Generation
7925
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
7926
 
7927
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
7928
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
7929
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
7930
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
7931
     directory.
7932
 
7933
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
7934
     reproducible.
7935
 
7936
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7937
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
7938
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7939
Major changes:
7940
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
7941
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
7942
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
7943
      longer a list of directories.
7944
 
7945
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
7946
      done within the toolset.
7947
 
7948
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
7949
 
7950
    * JATS environment variables
7951
      Redefined variable
7952
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
7953
                          Previously was a list that included the
7954
                          dpkg_archive cache.
7955
 
7956
      New variable
7957
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
7958
                          the main dpkg_archive.
7959
 
7960
 
7961
Minor changes:
7962
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
7963
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
7964
      target platforms to be extracted.
7965
 
7966
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
7967
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
7968
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
7969
 
7970
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
7971
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
7972
      Units tests will still be run by default.
7973
 
7974
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
7975
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
7976
 
7977
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
7978
      Support ANT based XML files
7979
 
7980
    * Utility: create_dpkg
7981
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
7982
      structure.
7983
 
7984
    * makefile.pl's
7985
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
7986
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
7987
 
7988
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
7989
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
7990
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
7991
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
7992
 
7993
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
7994
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
7995
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
7996
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5710 dpurdie 7997
      the VIX "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
227 dpurdie 7998
      -- Auto.
7999
 
8000
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
8001
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
8002
      unit tests within an automated framework.
8003
 
8004
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
8005
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
8006
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
8007
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
8008
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
8009
 
8010
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
8011
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
8012
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
8013
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
8014
      installed on the machine.
8015
 
8016
    * WINCE Targets
8017
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
8018
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
8019
 
8020
 
8021
 
8022
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8023
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
8024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8025
Major changes:
8026
    * WIN32 platforms
8027
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
8028
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
8029
      and installed packages.
8030
 
8031
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
8032
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
8033
      create CV style debug information in the target.
8034
 
8035
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
8036
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
8037
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
8038
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
8039
      searched when looking for libraries.
8040
 
8041
Minor changes:
8042
    * GenerateFiles directive
8043
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
8044
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
8045
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
8046
                          and drive letter
8047
 
8048
    * Src directive
8049
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
8050
      directory of a package.
8051
 
8052
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
8053
 
8054
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
8055
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
8056
      found in the package and the interface directory.
8057
 
8058
    * jats_rewrite utility
8059
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
8060
 
8061
 
8062
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8063
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
8064
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8065
Major changes:
8066
    * SunWorks production builds
8067
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
8068
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
8069
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
8070
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
8071
      compiler documentation.
8072
 
8073
    * MOS Toolset
8074
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
8075
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
8076
 
8077
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
8078
 
8079
Minor changes:
8080
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
8081
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
8082
      This should not affect current users.
8083
 
8084
    * Mugfile generation
8085
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
8086
      specified.
8087
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
8088

    MOS Toolset
8094
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
8095
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
8096
 
8097
Minor changes:
8098
    * Jats wrapper script
8099
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
8100
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
8101
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
8102
 
8103
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
8104
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
8105
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
8106
      may be suspect.
8107
 
8108
    * GenerateFiles directive
8109
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
8110
      the pathname to the specified package.  
8111

Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
8114
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8115
Major changes:
8116
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
8117
      build.xml files.
8118
 
8119
Minor changes:
8120
    * WIN32 toolset.
8121
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
8122
 
8123
    * MakeAnt
8124
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
8125
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
8126
 
8127
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
8128
 
8129
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
8130
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
8131
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
8132
 
8133
    * MakeAnt directive
8134
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
8135
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
8136
      conjunction with the JAVA target
8137
 
8138
      Recommended usage:
8139
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
8140
 
8141
Internal Changes
8142
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
8147
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8148
Major changes:
8149
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
8150
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
8151
      files packaged into the release.
8152
 
8153
      Refer to the 'MakeProject' directive in
8154

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
8157
 
8158
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
8159
      The recommended platform is:
8160
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
8161
 
8162
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
8163
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
8164
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
8165
      components.
8166
 
8167
      Refer to the 'MakeAnt' directive in

8171
 
8172
Minor changes:
8173
    * Support for Windows DLLs
8174
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
8175
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
8176
      by the package to be accessed.
8177
 
8178
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
8179
      application or visual studio.
8180
 
8181
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
8182
      and the JATS Core path.
8183
 
8184
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
8185
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
8186
      directive or if no directories where specified.
8187
 
8188
    * MOS Toolset
8189
      Add support for the TPT device
8190
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
8191
 
8192
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
8193
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
8194
 
8195
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
8196
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
8197
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
8198
 
8199
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
8200
 
8201
Internal Changes
8202
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
8203
      in jats.pl
8204
 
8205
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8206
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
8207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8208
Major changes:
8209
    * JATS wrapper script
8210
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
8211
 
8212
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
8213
 
8214
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
8215
 
8216
Minor changes:
8217
    * Deployment support
8218
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
8219
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
8220
 
8221
    * 'build'
8222
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
8223
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
8224
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
8225
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
8226
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
8227
 
8228
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
8229
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
8230
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
8231
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
8232
                                      the link phase.
8233
 
8234
    * BuildPkgArchive
8235
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
8236
      Previously these were ignored.
8237
      Minor code cleanup
8238
 
8239
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
8240
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
8241
      Manager "Source Path" field.
8242
 
8243
    * SOLARIS targets
8244
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
8245
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
8246
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
8247
 
8248
    * MugFile generation
8249
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
8250
      included in the final package.
8251
 
8252
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
8253
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
8254
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
8255
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
8256
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
8257
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
8258
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
8259
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
8260
 
8261
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
8262
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
8263
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
8264
            --Option=(some_text)
8265
            --Option=[some_text]
8266
            --Option={some_text}
8267
 
8268
Internal Changes
8269
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
8270
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
8271
      code.
8272
 
8273

8274
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
8275
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8276
Major changes:
8277
    * JATS wrapper script
8278
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
8279
 
8280
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
8281
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
8282
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
8283
      other components.
8284
 
8285
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
8286
 
8287
    * JATS
8288
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
8289
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
8290
 
8291
    * Build operations
8292
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
8293
      if required packages are built against different versions of
8294
      packages.
8295
 
8296
    * Make operations
8297
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
8298
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
8299
 
8300
Minor changes:
8301
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
8302
      deployment builds.
8303
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
8304
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
8305
 
8306
      Extended the "jats vars" display
8307
 
8308
    * build.pl
8309
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
8310
        processed. Allows
8311
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
8312
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
8313
        production.
8314
 
8315
    * MOS toolset
8316
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
8317
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
8318
 
8319
    * create_dpkg utility
8320
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
8321
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
8322
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
8323
      progress of the build.
8324
 
8325
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
8326
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
8327
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
8328
      system.
8329

Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
8332
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8333
Major changes:
8334
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8335
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
8336
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
8337
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
8338
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
8339
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
8340
 
8341
    * WCEX86A500 target
8342
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
8343
 
8344
    * MOS Toolsets
8345
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
8346
      the compiler.
8347
 
8348
    * RunTest directive
8349
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
8350
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
8351
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
8352
 
8353
Minor changes:
8354
    * JATS BUILD
8355
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
8356
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
8357
      highlight bad settings.
8358
 
8359
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
8360
      access to extensions.
8361
 
8362
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8363
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
8364
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8365
Major changes:
8366
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8367
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
8368
 
8369
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
8370
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
8371
      under unix.
8372
 
8373
Minor changes:
8374
    * label utility
8375
      Added options to:
8376
        o Delete a label
8377
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
8378
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
8379
 
8380
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
8381
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
8382
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
8383
      Package directives.
8384
 
8385
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
8386
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
8387
      system.
8388
 
8389
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8390
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
8391
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8392
Major changes:
8393
    * MOS Toolset
8394
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
8395
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
8396
 
8397
    * WIN32 Toolset
8398
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
8399
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
8400
      list.
8401
 
8402
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
8403
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
8404
 
8405
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
8406
 
8407
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
8408
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
8409
 
8410
 
8411
Minor changes:
8412
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
8413
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
8414
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
8415
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
8416
      corrected.
8417
 
8418
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
8419
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
8420
 
8421
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
8422
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
8423
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
8424
 
8425
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8426
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
8427
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8428
Major changes:
8429
    * WIN32 Toolset
8430
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
8431
      use with multithreaded modes.
8432
 
8433
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
8434
      --OnlyProd.
8435
 
8436
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
8437
      within the makefile.pl.
8438
 
8439
Minor changes:
8440
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
8441
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
8442
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
8443
      platforms.
8444
 
8445
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
8446
 
8447

8448
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
8449
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8450
Major changes:
8451
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
8452
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
8453
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
8454
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
8455
 
8456
    * Preliminary Support
8457
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
8458
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
8459
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
8460
 
8461
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
8462
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
8463
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
8464
 
8465
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
8466
      building. The default build will build both.
8467
 
8468
Minor changes:
8469
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
8470
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
8471
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
8472
 
8473
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
8474
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
8475
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
8476
 
8477
 
8478

8480
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8481
Major changes:
8482
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
8483
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
8484
      or all.
8485
 
8486
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
8487
      the library or program.
8488
 
8489
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
8490
 
8491
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
8492
      library or any debug files.
8493
 
8494
    * GenerateFiles
8495
      All processed arguments now support two options.
8496
 
8497
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
8498
              directory in which the prereq file is found
8499
 
8500
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
8501
              The filename of the prereq file
8502
 
8503
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
8504
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
8505
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
8506
 
8507
 
8508
Minor changes:
8509
    * create_dpkg utility
8510
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
8511
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
8512
      the package has been altered.

Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05
8516
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8517
Major changes:
8518
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
8519
      This is a WINCE target
8520
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
8521
 
8522
    * New toolset
8523
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
8524
 
8525
    * Modified toolset
8526
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
8527
 
8528
    * Modified toolset
8529
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
8530
 
8531
Minor changes:
8532
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
8533
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
8534
 
8535
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
8536
 
8537
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
8538
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
8539
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
8540
 
8541
      The change allows the construct
8542
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
8543
      to be replaced by the simpler
8544
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
8545
 
8546
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
8547
      specified name.    
8548

8567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8568
Major changes:
8569
    * The "package.pl" file.
8570
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
8571
      package name being taken from the build name
8572
 
8573
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
8574
      package Build Name.
8575
 
8576
Minor changes:
8577
    * create_dpkg utility
8578
      The -m ( merge) option will not replace a file if it already exists
8579
 
8580

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

8899
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
8900
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8901
Major changes:
8902
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
8903
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
8904
 
8905
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
8906
 
8907
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
8908
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
8909
      same directory
8910
 
8911
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
8912
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
8913
      documenattion.
8914
 
8915
Minor changes:
8916
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
8917
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
8918
 
8919
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
8920
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
8921
 
8922
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
8923
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
8924
 
8925
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
8926
      when the verbose option had not been selected
8927
 
8928
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
8929
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
8930
      be exempt from this test.
8931
 
8932
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
8933
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
8934
 
8935
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
8936
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
8937
 
8938
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
8939
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
8940
      does.
8941
 
8942
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
8943
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
8944
 
8945
 
8946
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8947
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
8948
------------------------------------------------------------------------
8949
Major changes:
8950
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
8951
 
8952
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
8953
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
8954
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
8955
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
8956
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
8957
 
8958
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
8959
      operations.
8960
 
8961
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
8962
 
8963
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
8964
 
8965
Minor changes
8966
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
8967
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
8968
 
8969
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
8970
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
8971
      directory is not added to the library path.
8972
 
8973
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
8974
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
8975
 
8976
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
8977
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
8978
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
8979
 
8980
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
8981
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
8982
      specific flags.
8983
 
8984
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
8985
 
8986
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
8987
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
8988
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
8989
 
8990
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
8991
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
8992
      JATS.
8993
 
8994
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
8995
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
8996
 
8997
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
8998
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
8999
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
9000
 
9001
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
9002
      the initial DLL or EXE.
9003
 
9004
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
9005
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
9006
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
9007
 
9008
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
9009
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
9010
 
9011
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
9012
 
9013
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
9014
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
9015
 
9016
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
9017
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
9018
      objects.
9019
 
9020
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
9021
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
9022
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
9023
      build defendants.
