 under the control of the Pegasus bugzilla bug system. See the bug section below        <h3><b>Information on Interop namespace name (root/PG_InterOp) for
 for more information.</p>            OpenPegasus 2.12<br>
           </b></h3>
         <p>Prior to version 2.12 OpenPegasus used an OpenPegasus internal variable
           to define "root/PG_InterOp" as the name for the OpenPegasus namespace
           with no defined way to change this variable.&nbsp; Note that an
           unsupported method involving editing one file and rebuilding OpenPegasus
           was defined as a workaround in the <a href="%20https://wiki.opengroup.org/pegasus-wiki/doku.php?id=faq:openpegasus_build_and_installing">OpenPegasus
             wiki faq</a>s.&nbsp; <br>
         </p>
         <p>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&nbsp; "root/PG_InterOp" has
           become an issue.<br>
         </p>
         <p>Effective OpenPegasus 2.12.0 a new build variable has been
           defined&nbsp; (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).&nbsp; Once this build variable is defined and OpenPegasus
           compiled, the actual name of the interop namespace is what was defined
           in this varaible and all components of OpenPegasus use this as the
           interop namespace name include the complete OpenPegasus test
           suite.&nbsp; The only name for the interop namespace will be the name
           defined through this build variable.<br>
         </p>
         <p>However, today OpenPegasus is committed to the single namespace defined
           at build "(root/PG_InterOp", "interop", or "root/interop"). However, a
           number of OpenPegasus&nbsp; 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.<br>
         </p>
         <p>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. <br>

             documented bugs in Pegasus such as this that the OpenPegasus team
             feels cannot be incorporated into the code until a major version

             Under some conditions (ex. if no propertyList is supplied) it modifies

             for more information.</li>
           <li><b>OpenPegasus Interop Namespace</b> - The default interop namespace
             name in OpenPegasus is "root/PG_Interop".&nbsp; 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&nbsp; has become a build option with the build configuraton
             environment variable PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = &lt;name for this
             namespace&gt; however, the default if built without this change is
             still "root/PG_InterOp"<br>

           <li><b>OpenPegasus WSMAN protocol on windows does not handle NaN, INF,
               or -INF</b> (bug&nbsp; <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><b>OpenPegasus outputs Nan, INF, -INF special values for Real32 and
               Real64 property and Parameter types for the CIM/XML protocol</b> -
             (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&nbsp; that is what is defined in the internal values.&nbsp;
             OpenPegasus does not allow these special Strings on input however,</li>
           <li><b>OpenPegasus does not handle covered properties</b> - (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.&nbsp;
             Further, the requirement is expected to be removed in the future (i.e
             CIM 3.0).<br>
