Version:  3.13.5000.cr                              Released: 13-Apr-17

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Makefiles: Enhanced platform specifier

      Allows mixed use of included and excluded platform names.

        ie: Src ('DEVLINUX,!UBUNUT12', .... )

    * New Utilities: jats_generate_deployable, jats_generate_bom

      Experimental utilities for generation of BOMS

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.13.4000.cr                              Released: 31-Mar-17 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive

      Exclude .svn sub directories.

    * Utility: jats_sandbox

      Improved behaviour of packages that do not build with the current

      build filters. They will be silently skipped and not create 

      build errors.

    * Build Files - New alias : INSTRUMENT

      This is an alias for active instrumented build targets

    * Build Files - New directive : BuildAliasDef

      Shorthand for

        BuildAlias ('xxx,--Define', ... );

      This is the preferred method for defining aliases

    * Build Files - BuildAlias directive

      The build alias has been extended to support the use of a '!' operator

      This allows one, or more platforms to be removed from a definition.

      Examples: 

        BuildAlias( 'A1,--Define', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI');

        BuildAliasDef ('A1', 'DEVLINUX,!ARM9TDMI'); 

            All platforms covered by the DEVLINUX alias, except ARM9TDMI

        BuildAlias( 'A2,--Define', '!ARM9TDMI');

        BuildAliasDef( 'A2', '!ARM9TDMI');

            All active platforms, except the ARM9TDMI.

    * Platforms: GENERIC_XXX

      Improved operation of machType based generic platforms when used within the

      build system.

Experimental:

    * Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

      Compiler is supported via the new platform RHEL7

      Jats support is provided via a machine type of linux_x64.

        This will change 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.13.3000.cr                              Released: 13-Mar-17

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Build Files. BuildSrcArchive

      Added a 'platform' argument. It is only used on build machines to

      prevent the archive being build on multiple machines.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.13.1000.cr                              Released: 01-Mar-17 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Directive: MakePerlModule

      Fixed build issues associated with building Perl Modules under VS2012.

      Minor differences in the operation of nmake.

    * Build Files

      Handle build.pl files with out a BuildInterface directive

      Will force an interface directory called 'interface'

      Modified parsing of the BuildName to handle some instances of

      incorrect use of the '--RelaxedVersion' option.

      Note: This option is to be deprecated. Do not use it.

            Jats will handle '.cots' packages correctly by itself.

   * New Platforms: GENERIC_XXX

     A collection of platforms (Alias of GENERICS) that provide an architecture 

     specific  build target. The name of the target is created by joining the

     keyword GENERIC_ with the Jats Machine Type. 

        ie: GENERIC_WIN32, GENERIC_LINUX_I386, GENERIC_LINUX_X64

     These targets cannot be mixed with non-generic targets (on the same machine), nor the GENERIC

     build target. It is possible to mix GENERIC_WIN32 with UBUNTU16 as they appear on

     different architectures.

     The targets function is in a similar manner to the GENERIC build target, but

     are directed to one or more machines.

     Intended uses:

        Windows: Creating installers. 

                 The NSIS builder does not require a compiler toolchain.

       All: Specialized packaging.

    * Makefiles

      New option in the platform specifier. --Alias=alias1[:alias2]*

      Allows the directive to be true if the current build has the specified alias.

      Eg:

        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',DEVLINUX', ...)

      Will package the file(s) if the current build is for a platform that is

      a part of the TOOLSET alias AND is also member of the DEVLINUX alias.

      It could also have been written as:

        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET',--Alias=DEVLINUX', ...)

      but NOT as:

        PackageFile ('--Alias=TOOLSET:DEVLINUX', ...)

        PackageFile ('TOOLSET,DEVLINUX', ...)

            as these will be true if current platform is a TOOLSET or DEVLINUX

    * Utility: sandbox

      Subcommand info 

        - Added option to test fingerprints

        - Display status in a column for easy reading

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.13.0000.cr                              Released: 20-Feb-17

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * New build.pl directive BuilToolset.

      This directive will enable the generation of the TOOLSET alias.

      Provides a sanity test to ensure that tools can be built.

      Includes options to limit use to specific architectures

    * Support for building many of the platforms on a linux_x64 based machine

      Previously many of the compiler were limited to the Ubuntu12 machines.

      These can now be built on an Ubuntu16 based machine.

    * GenerateFiles directive

      Added --Var(Toolset) and --Var(Native).

    * Utility: sandbox

      Added a 'fingerprint' command to manipulate packages fingerprints.

      Sped up the location of build files. The results are cached and 

      recalulated if the user adds or removes packages from the sandbox.

Internal changes:

    * Centralizing build platform information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.12.9000.cr                              Released: 10-Feb-17 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Build File. BuildExclude directive

      Added special platform of 'INSTRUMENT'. This will exclude 

      all Instrumented builds.

    * 64 Bit Linux Build Machines

      Allowed Java to be built on such machine - if it is installed.

    * Build Alias - TOOLSET

      Changed the manor in which the alias is calculated.

      On a build machine it will use the BUILDFILTER to determine which 

      machine may build the toolset.

      On a developers machine it will use the first suitable available 

      platform.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.12.8000.cr                              Released: 07-Feb-17

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Utility: sandbox

      Changed method of accessing SHA1 routines to allow compatibility

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.12.7000.cr                              Released: 07-Feb-17

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * Build Processing

      Removed processing of CVS change log and associated command line options

      It is not used.

      Tweaks to the calculation of the TOOLSET alias to allow it to work when

      the build system is split across multiple machines.

    * Utility: escrow

      Added -skim option

    * Utility: sandbox

      Many improvements:

        Can be invoked in a subdirectory and will only build packages required

        by the package that contains the current subdirectory.

        Package build order is alphabetic, within each build level.

        Added '-keepgoing' option to several commands to allow processing even

        if an error is detected.

        Generate a package fingerprint and use it to determine if a package

        needs to be rebuilt at all.

        Added 'skip' and 'unskip' commands to allow a package to be marked to be

        skipped during the build.

        The 'info' subcommand indicates which packages have been built.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version:  3.12.6000.cr                              Released: 06-Feb-17

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor changes:

    * New build Alias - TOOLSET

      TOOLSET is, at most, one platform in the current build, which build 

      artifacts that can be expected to run on the build machine.

      The TOOLSET alias has been created to simplify the support

      for building and packaging of JATS-internal utilities.
