This release is available in a number of forms including:

NOTE: This document defines

the OpenPegasus 2.11.0 version release with comments added to define

the 2.11.1 revision to that release.  OpenPegasus 2.11.1 is a bug

fix revision to Pegasus 2.11.0. The complete list of changes (total of

32 bugs fixed)  is defined in OpenPegasus bugzilla with the <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=2.11.1_APPROVED">2.11.1_APPROVED bugs</a>

query.  We recommend that all uses of 2.11.0 review this list.

OpenPegasus tries to execute only bug fixes for revision releases and

not include enhancements but in exceptional cases including 2.11.1 some

extensions are included (See the Functionality of this Release

section). The OpenPegasus team recommends that users of Pegasus 2.11.0

update to Pegasus 2.11.1 because of of issues defined in a couple of

the bugs below, in particular an api incompatibility defined in bug

9014. 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.

* httpSessionTimeout -

Allows using a cookie to temporarily bypass the PAM authentication in

favor of the cookie provided by the server during a single session.

This is a performance enhancement.  If this variable is set to

zero (default) the cookie bypass is disabled, the server will not send

nor accept the id cookie.  If set to

an integer, a client session will maintain the cookie for the number of

seconds defined by the value of this variable. Enabled with a build

parameter PEGASUS_ENABLE_SESSION_COOKIES.

* sslBackwardCompatibility

- Limits OpenPegasus support to TLS 1.2/OpenSSL1.01. Can be set to

allow backward compatibility with older versions of TLS/OpenSSL.

The following sections describe in more detail some of the more

significatn changes in this release as well as carrying forward some of

the same information for the last release to be sure users are aware

what these changes affect.

<h3>DMTF Pull Client operations and FQL Query Language (OpenPegasus 2.14.0)</h3>As

of DMTF DSP0200 version 1.4, new client operations (generally named the

pull operations have been part of the CIM/XML protocol). This consists

of a set of new operations (open..., pull..., close) that allow getting

enumerations, associations, references (and their corresponding name

operations) as a sequence

of operations (an enumeration sequence) rather than a single monolithic operation.

This will provider several advantages including:

1. Better control of client memory since the client can determine the size of each response.

2. Clearly separates the return of errors from data.

Pegasus 2.14 supports all of these operations in both in the CIM/XML

client and the server. For more information on the implementation and

use of

these operation see the following documents:

1. OpenPegasus <a href="https://wiki.opengroup.org/pegasus-wiki/doku.php?id=dev:workgroups:pulloperationsupportworkgroup:pull_operation_support_work_group">Wiki page</a> for this project.

2. PEP documenting the Pull operations and FQL

<h3>HTTP Sessions(OpenPegasus 2.14.0)</h3>Allows using a cookie to

enhance performance of PAM.  This function is enabled with the

build varaible  PEGASUS_ENABLE_SESSION_COOKIES. When

the option is enabled, the OpenPegasus CIM server will

use HTTP cookies for session management (RFC 6265).

After a successful client authentication the client is given a cookie. The

client is then not asked for re-authentication as long as it provides the

same cookie in all subsequent requests and until the session expires. Session

expiry is configurable using httpSessionTimeout configuration option.

Nothing changes for clients that do not support HTTP cookies (RFC 6465) -

their requests are authenticated as usual, either using Basic or Negotiate

authentication mechanisms.

The timeout for a session is determined by the runtime parameter httpSessionTimeout. If this runtime parameter is set to zero the HTTP cookies option is disabled.

This option has proven to represent a significant improvement in performance over using PAM for every client operation.

<h3>WEBAdmin (OpenPegasus 2.14.0)</h3>OpenPegasus has

included on an experimental basis a web server that acts as an

adminstration tool to replace the command line tools.  This option

presents the

same information as the major command line tools as web pages so that

parameters can be modified without using the command line tools. 

It is compiled by

PEGASUS_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_WEB=false. See the file readme.webadmin in the

Note: This option is considered experimental for 2.14

<h3>Using GCC 4.7 Compiler on Linux OS (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)

</h3>

As of 2.14.0, OpenPegasus has been updated to replace the custom atomic

operations with GCC built-in atomic operations if GCC version 4.7 or

greater is used as the compiler.  It is recommended that if possible

this version of the GCC compiler be used since the change provides

significant performance improvements.

<h3>OpenPegasus and OpenSLP V 2.0 (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)</h3>

As of 2.13.0, OpenPegasus slp fully supports IPV6  and has been

tested with OpenSLP 2.0 (Recently released by <a href="http://openslp.org">OpenSlp.org</a>)

While testing OpenPegasus with OpenSLP 2.0 the OpenPegasus team found two

issues with this version of OpenSLP.  The patches documented below

allow this version of OpenSLP to work with OpenPegasus

1) SLPReg used TCP connection previously, but it now uses UDP. Therefore,

a BUFFER_OVERFLOW exception occurs.  This is because UDP cannot

handle attribute size greater than network MTU size. In such cases,

according to the specification, OpenSLP should automatically switch to

TCP.  Since this has not been implemented in OpenSlp 2.0, the

workaround used by OpenPegasus to force use of TCP may be found at <a title="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/" href="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/">http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/139/</a>.

2) On Windows, slpd service fails to start when IPV6 is enabled and throws

the error message "Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly". More

details and the fix for this issue are in the bug <a href="http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/140/">http://sourceforge.net/p/openslp/bugs/140/</a>.

<h3>Interop namespace name (OpenPegasus 2.13.0)</h3>

Effective with the release of OpenPegasus  2.13 the "interop"

namespace support for existing or

older repositories which used

"root/PG_InterOp" has been added via a new option in the "reupgrade"

utility. Users with existing repositories may use this option to migrate

the repository from "root/PG_InterOp" to

"interop" namespace.  See <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9414" title="RESOLVED FIXED - enhance repupgrade to support "interop" namespace">bug

9414</a> (PEP304) for

details.

For this to work, the build  option "PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE" has

to be

set to "interop". Only then will the "-i" option in repupgrade be enabled.

Once the repository is upgraded with "-i" , the namespace

"root/PG_InterOp"

will cease to exsist. Clients using "root/PG_InterOp" must now use

"interop".

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.  Note that an unsupported method

involving editing one file and rebuilding OpenPegasus was defined as a

workaround in the <a href="file:///home/kschopmeyer/dev/pgogbug9611releasenotes/pegasus/%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. Support for forward-compatibility is a fundamental design

principle for the OpenPegasus project. As a community, our goal is for

well-behaved OpenPegasus providers or clients, using only the externally

defined OpenPegasus interface, to continue to work with each version

upgrade of OpenPegasus.

Effective OpenPegasus 2.12.0 a new build variable was 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 varaible 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.  This is the logical

approach for implementations starting a new repository.

In order to supexport PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE=keyword:keywordport users with

existing repositories, in 2.13.0,  migration of existing repositories

was integrated into the "repupgrade" utility to allow existing OpenPegasus

environments to smoothly move the server from use of the old name 

for the interop namespace "root/PG_InterOp" to 

the prefered name "interop".

NOTE: If the interop namespace

name is redefined with PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE clients using the

"root/PG_InterOp" namespace will not connect with the updated version of

OpenPegasus. The OpenPegasus team searched for a solution to the issue

supporting the old and new name at the same time and concluded that there

were so many issues that it could not effectively be done.

<h3>Configure Script to Control OpenPegasus Builds (OpenPegasus

2.13.0)(Bug 9592)</h3>

OpenPegasus is moving from the use of environment variables to a configure

script to control build.  This is both to make it easier to define

the build variables, etc. and to be more compatibile with the Linux/Unix

standard build environment.  However, because OpenPegasus must build

on a number of platforms that do not support the full Linux/Unix

configuration tool set, this is an OpenPegasus defined configure

script.  The first very experimental version is part of OpenPegasu

2.13.0 but this version has a number of limitations (see the OpenPegasus

Bugzilla) and will be expanded in the next versions of OpenPegasus.

The goal is to replace the setting of most of the OpenPegasus build

environment variable with options in the pegasus/configure script where

those options are comatible with the Linux standard for defining configure

options and those options control the entire build process including placement

of output and choice of build options.

<h3>Tracing Client Requests and Responses(OpenPegasus2.13.0)</h3>

OpenPegasus has

long contained a hidden build controlled function to allow tracing at

the client through an environment variable

(PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE_ON).  In 2.13.0 this was a) make a permanent

part of of the environment (Bug 9564) and the calling convention

slightly changed

to make it simpler to use. The original format for the

environment variable was:

<pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_1">export PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE=keyword:keyword where the keyword was "con" | "log" | "both" This was changed to: keyword:keyword separately define Client input and output keyword: Client Input only :keyword Client Output Only keyword Client Input and output defined by keyword</pre>

so that the normal setup for a console output trace would be

<pre> export PEGASUS_CLIENT_TRACE=con</pre>

<h3>Information on IPV6 Support and OpenPegasus(PEP 291)(OpenPegasus

2.7.0)</h3>

NOTE: This functionality was incorporated in OpenPegasus 2.7.0 but

it was felt that the information below was worth repeating in subsequent

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

all properties rather than just the properties supplied with the

request thereby Nulling out existing values. See bug <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8752">8752</a>

properties. However, OpenPegasus does not support this capability (see <a href="http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3571">bug 3571</a>)

"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 2.12.0 this  has become a build option

with the build configuraton environment variable

PEGASUS_INTEROP_NAMESPACE = <name for this namespace> however,

the default if built without this change is still "root/PG_InterOp".

Effective with OpenPegasus 2.13.0 the reupgrade utility has been

extended to allow existing repositories to be converted from the use of

"root/PG_Interop" to "interop" (See discussion above).  The

default in the CVS source code is still "root/PG_InterOp".

<li>OpenPegasus WSMAN protocol on windows does not handle NaN, INF,

- 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).</li>

<li>FQL Query Language
