4836 3969 d 18 h dpurdie /core_devl/branches/dpurdie_3.5.10000.cr/ Created by Jats svn branch  
315 5811 d 7 h dpurdie /core_devl/trunk/ DevTools/core_devl: Checkin by Svn Import
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 2.82.0000.cr Released:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major changes:
* New Build Platform: VB6
Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
project files.

* Build Directive BuildVersion.
This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'

Minor changes:
* Added more internal documentation
Use jats help to see available documentation

* Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.

* Jats save_build utility
Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
under windows.

* Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
libraries.

* Solaris builds
Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
of the build failure.


Internal changes:
* Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool

* Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
PkgArchive topics.

Major changes:
* Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
existing 32-bit builds.

64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11

Minor changes:
* jats label -exclude=nnn
Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr

* Package searching
The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.

Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.

* jats help
Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.

Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
with one of:
jats -h
jats help jats

Internal:
* Updated cmdfile utility

Internal changes
* Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
Useful side effects include:

JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.

[DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.

[DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
BuildPkgArchive
