4699 4039 d 13 h alewis /core_devl/branches/alewis_gccinstrumented/ Created by Jats svn branch  
261 6318 d 8 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
Major changes:
* Perl Version. Must be at least version 5.8.2
This is the first version that supports Windows 2003 server.

After discovering that several operations are not fully function under
Perl 5.6.1 the minimum version of Active State Perl that is required has
been increased.

A suitable windows installer can be found at:
\\auperaunx26\devl\releases\3rdParty-Products\ActivePerl\5.8.8.819\
ActivePerl-5.8.8.819-MSWin32-x86-267479.msi

* Jats Build Targets
New target and toolset: VERIX

* Jats utility: jats_save_build
Extended to allow all ClearCase specific operations to be removed
from the Build Daemons.

This utility is only used by "Release Planner" and the "Build Daemons".

Suggested new usage:
jats etool jats_save_build
-pname=xxxx
-pversion=yyyy
-infofile=path_name
-locatepkg=zzzz (Optional)
-infile=aaaa (Optional)
-outfile=bbbb (Optional)
-wiplabel=ccccc (Optional)

Minor changes:
* JATS make: Merge Library Operation [DEVI-049475]
Fixed such that Library Merge operations don't delete other build
artifacts.

* JATS make: New option expert=0|1
Runtime processing of 'expert' mode to allow dependencies between the
object files and the makefile to be ignored.

Previous this operation could only be invoked at 'build' time. Now the
default state will be set at build time and it can be overridden at 'make'
time.

* JATS utility: CCdiff
Corrected operation of the option "-new=dir=."

* Nunit support in CSHARP
Improved support for different version of Nunit
Allow the DLLs that are required by nunit to be specified
within the package.

* Jats utility: dstatus
Suppresses archived releases.
Shows release state

* Build file directive: BuildPkgArchive
Extended list of supported directories to include 'wsdl'.

Major changes:
* Jats Release Mechanism
Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
released using the 'standard' mechanism.

Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.

A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
itself with Release Manager. ie: package_name_package_version

* Running Jats
Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
This may affect some windows developers.

This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
Future versions will generate an error.

Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.

Minor changes:
* Perl Version Check
Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.

* Build Directive: BuildVersion
This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
build.

* Jats Internals
Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.

* Jats Tool: CCbc2
Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
process.

Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
Only works under Windows.

Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.

* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly

* Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.

* Jats eprog
Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
directory.

* jats tool jats_metrics
A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
build metrics.
 
227 6572 d 7 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
First Release in Release Manager
Major changes:

Minor changes:
* Jats Tool: create_dpkg
Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
automated build system. New options are:
-pname=Package_Name
-pversion=Package_Version

Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
transferring the package. New options are:
-test

* Jats Tool: CCdiff
-output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
-vob=name does not generate internal message under unix

* JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
a space separated or a comma separated list.

* Solaris Toolset
Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
programs are still supported.
