Major changes:
* M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.

Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
of 0 to 99 inclusive.

* Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
contain multiple, labeled, build files.

Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
This will be integrated into the build tool.

Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
correct.

Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
the infrastructure provided by the above feature.

Minor changes:
* Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
'ar' utility in there path. It will be controlled by the toolset.

This should improve build reproducibility.
This will simplify new user setup.

* All Unix Toolsets
Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
on unix systems

* JATS release utility [DEVI-047356]
Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
on some Solaris Machines.

* JATS -version=<version>
Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.

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.

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.
