<p>For release 2.5.1, a number of additional changes were made( See PEP 239 for |
|
more details) Note: there was no PEP controlling Pegasus 2.5.2 changes, simply |
|
approved bugs:.</p> |
|
<ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1"> |
|
<li>Significant performance improvements ( better than 10 to 1 for operations |
|
and 3 to 1 for indications). (bug 4225)</li> |
|
<li>Improved support for the several platforms (Solaris, MacOS, HardHat Linux)</li> |
|
<li>Modified Makefile targets for easier usage.</li> |
|
<li>Extended and reorganized unit and end-end tests.</li> |
|
<li>Completed implementation of statistics gathering for operations.</li> |
|
<li>Further integrated CMPI and added additional tests.</li> |
|
<li>Consolidate some of the compile-time variables. Largely this meant moving |
|
from separate variables for DISABLE and ENABLE to a single variable where the |
|
value representes the state.</li> |
|
<li>Corrected error where Pegasus could not maintain general whitespace in |
|
strings (bug 4624).</li> |
|
<li>SLP extended to allow optional use of OpenSLP as the Service Agent (SA) in place of |
|
the Pegasus internal SA.</li> |
|
<li>Changes to align OpenPegasus and Red Hat RPM packaging and configuration |
|
options.</li> |
|
<li>Additonal testing and integration of the JMPI provider manager.</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
<p>Specifically the status of several components of Pegasus functionality were |
|
moved in status on the Feature Status Page as follows:</p> |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>Binary Repository move to green (production capable). (see bug 4388)</li> |
|
<li>Out of Process providers</li> |
|
<li>Pegasus Provider Interfaces, User Context for Linux and Unix</li> |
|
