of this Release</h2>

NOTE: This document

defines the OpenPegasus 2.12.0 minor version release with

comments added to define the 2.12.1 revision to that minor

release.  OpenPegasus 2.12.1 is a bug fix revision to

OpenPegasus 2.12.0. The complete list of changes (total of 12

bugs fixed)  is defined in OpenPegasus bugzilla with the <a

href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=2.12.1_APPROVED">2.12.1_APPROVED

bugs</a> query.  We recommend that all users of 2.12.0

review this list. OpenPegasus tries to execute only bug fixes

for revision releases and not include enhancements. The

OpenPegasus team recommends that users of Pegasus 2.12.0 update

to Pegasus 2.12.1. Note that in OpenPegasus ALL changes

including enhancements are defined as bugs and committed only

when the APPROVED keyword is set so that the list in the query

above defines ALL changes between 2.11.0 and 2.11.1.

workaround in the <a

href="%20https://wiki.opengroup.org/pegasus-wiki/doku.php?id=faq:openpegasus_build_and_installing">OpenPegasus

wiki faq</a>s.

However, since the definition of a standard name for this

namespace in DMTF and SNIA specifications ("interop" or

"root/interop" with "interop" being the preferred alternative)

the use of  "root/PG_InterOp" has become an issue.

Effective OpenPegasus 2.12.0 a new build variable has been

defined  (PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE) which allows an

OpenPegasus builder to define an alternate name for the Interop

namespace to either "interop" or "root/interop" (ex.

PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = interop).  Once this build

variable is defined and OpenPegasus compiled, the actual name of

the interop namespace is what was defined in this variable and

all components of OpenPegasus use this as the interop namespace

name include the complete OpenPegasus test suite.  The only

name for the interop namespace will be the name defined through

this build variable.

However, today OpenPegasus is committed to the single namespace

defined at build "(root/PG_InterOp", "interop", or

"root/interop"). However, a number of OpenPegasus 

installations are committed to the "root/PG_InterOp" name and

must maintain their repositories through updates of OpenPegasus.

While we are working on this issue today (which means that a

running version of OpenPegasus must accept both the and new

names and not confuse clients, listeners or providers that would

use either name) the OpenPegasus team did not complete that work

for this release. See bug <a

href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9250">9250</a>

for more information about possible solutions and our progress

on a solution.

NOTE: If you redefine the interop namespace name with

PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE clients using the "root/PG_InterOp"

namespace will not connect with the updated version of

OpenPegasus.

<li>OpenPegasus Interop Namespace - The default interop

namespace name in OpenPegasus is "root/PG_Interop".  In

versions of OpenPegasus prior to 2.12.0 this could be changed

during build by modifying a string definition in the code.

Effective version 2.12 this  has become a build option

with the build configuration environment variable

PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = <name for this namespace>

however, the default if built without this change is still

"root/PG_InterOp"

<li>OpenPegasus WSMAN protocol on windows does not handle

NaN, INF, or -INF (bug  <a

href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8836">8836</a>)

- If requests or responses include properties or parameters

with floating point property types (Real32 or Real64) with the

special states NaN, INF, or -INF on a Windows platform, the

input is not accepted because these special strings are not

understood by the decoder on Windows.</li>

<li>OpenPegasus outputs Nan, INF, -INF special values for

Real32 and Real64 property and Parameter types for the

CIM/XML protocol - (bug <a

href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9392">9392</a>).

Today the DMTF Specification DSP0201 allows only numeric

information in the format definition for this type and does

not all the special strings Nan, etc. However, OpenPegasus

actually outputs the special strings if  that is what is

defined in the internal values.  OpenPegasus does not

allow these special Strings on input however,</li>

<li>OpenPegasus does not handle covered properties - (bug

<a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3571">3571</a>)

Covered properties (properties which have the same name in a

superclass and subclass without overridding the property in

the superclass) are not allowed in OpenPegasus. While the

requirement for this functionality was added to DSP0004

subsequent to version 2.4, the general agreement is that the

requirement itself is not supportable and particularly not

with the existing OpenPegasus APIs.  Further, the

requirement is expected to be removed in the future (i.e CIM

3.0).
