<p>Finally, a significant number of internal changes and corrections were made 
under the control of the Pegasus bugzilla bug system. See the bug section below 
for more information.</p>

<h3><font color="#000000">Information on&nbsp; IPv6 Support (PEP 291)</font></h3>
<p><b>NOTE:</b> This functionality was incorporated in OpenPegasus 2.7.0 but it 
was felt that the information below was worth repeating in the 2.8.0 Release 
Notes</p>
<p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">IPv6 is short for "Internet
Protocol
Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF
to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4
("IPv4"). IPv6 Support for OpenPegasus is documented in </font> <a
 href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/14222/PEP_291_IPv6.html">
<font color="#3333FF">PEP
291</font></a><font color="#000000">.</font></p>
<p>The IPv6 support in OpenPegasus is
controlled by the PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6 build variable. The default for this 
variable is &quot;true&quot;; setting this to
'false' before building OpenPegasus will disable the IPv6 support.<br>
</p>
<p>The following subsections provide
some information on IPv6 support for the Linux and Windows platforms.
Note that in the 2.6.1 release there is no automatic run-time detection
of IPv6 support on a platform by OpenPegasus. If you build with
PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6=true, your platform must support IPv6 or you will
get a build failure (missing header files), a run-time bind() failure,
or possibly some other failure. This applies to both the CIM Server and
Listener components. For more information on IPv6 support for your
specific platform, refer to the documentation for that platform.<br>
</p>
<p>All OpenPegasus externals that
support either a hostname or an IP address as input have been updated
to allow an IPv6 address to be specified. If the required input is just
an IP address (eg. no optional or required port number), then the IPv6
address must be specified without brackets. For example, the
OpenPegasus osinfo client (which returns information about the OS
running on a host system) takes separate host and port options. In this
case a host with an IPv6-configured network interface would be
specified as:<br>
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">osinfo -h
3ffe:1:2:1 -p 5988</font></div>
<p>But the cimcli command, which
takes
an optional "location" option including an optional port number,
requires the IPv6 address to be delimited with brackets, for example:<br>
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]</div>
<p>or</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">cimcli ns -l [3ffe:1:2:1]:5989<br>
</div>
<br>
For more information on
specifying
IPv6 addresses, refer to <a
 href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2373.txt">IETF RFC 2373 - IP Version
6 Addressing Architecture</a>
and <a
 href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt">IETF RFC 2732 - Format for
Literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's</a>.<br>
<h4><font color="#000000">IPv6 on Linux</font></h4>
<p>Modern Linux distributions already
contain IPv6-ready kernels, the
IPv6 capability is generally compiled as a module, but it's possible
that this module is not loaded automatically on startup.</p>
<p>Note:
you shouldn't anymore use kernel series 2.2.x, because it's not
IPv6-up-to-date anymore. Also the IPv6 support in series 2.4.x is no
longer improved according to definitions in latest RFCs. It's recommend
to use series 2.6.x now.<br>
</p>
<p>To check whether your current
running
kernel supports IPv6, take a look into your /proc filesystem. The entry
/proc/net/if_inet6 must exist. A short automated test looks like:<br>
</p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">test -f
/proc/net/if_inet6 &amp;&amp; echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready"</font></div>
<p>For more information on
enabling
IPv6 in the Linux kernel and configuring network interfaces, refer to 
<a
 href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/">The Linux
Documentation Project's IPv6 HOWTO</a>.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Warning</span>:
There is currently an open issue with RedHat to address a problem that
is seen intermittently on RHEL5 and SLES10 systems. This problem is
described in <span
 style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">
<a
 href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6586">Pegasus
bug 6586</a>

<a
 href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248052">RedHat
bug 248052</a>,
</span>
and manifests itself as an intermittent IPv6 socket failure. You should be aware 
that OpenPegasus with IPv6 enabled may be significantly impacted in these 
environments.</p>
<h4><font color="#000000">IPv6 on Windows</font></h4>
<p>Microsoft provides supported IPv6
implementations for Windows Server
2003, Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows XP with Service
Pack 2 (SP2), and Windows CE .NET 4.1 and later.</p>
On Windows XP, you can use the <span
 style="font-weight: bold; ">ipv6.exe</span> tool to install, uninstall, and
query
your IPv6 configuration. For example:<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><font color="#000000">ipv6 install<br>
ipv6 if</font></div>
<p>Windows Vista
and Windows Server 2008 support an integrated
IPv4 and IPv6 implementation known as the Next Generation TCP/IP stack.
Note that the OpenPegasus IPv6 support has not yet been tested
on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.<br>
<br>
For more information on
installing, configuring, and using IPv6 on Windows platforms, refer to
the document 
<a
 href="https://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx">
<font color="#000000">IPv6
for Microsoft Windows: Frequently Asked Questions</font></a>.<br>
</p>
<h4><font color="#000000">Testing your OpenPegasus IPv6
support</font></h4>
As part of the OpenPegasus
automated tests, the TestClient, g11ntest, and IndicationStressTest
test clients were modified to run tests using the IPv6 loopback address
(::1) if PEGASUS_ENABLE_IPV6=true.<br>
<br>
You can also perform manual
tests
using the IPv6 loopback or a real IPv6-configured network interface.
For example, using the IPv6 loopback on a system with OpenPegasus
running on the WBEM standard http port of 5988:<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><br>
	osinfo -h ::1</div>
<h2><a name="Compatibility_Considerations_">Compatibility Considerations</a></h2>
<p>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 a minor version upgrade of OpenPegasus. However, there 
are certain classes of errors (e.g., non-compliance with a standard that 
significantly affects interoperability) that may require the Community to make 
potentially incompatible changes. The following table contains a list of defect 
fixes that MAY impact, even well-behaved, OpenPegasus Providers or Clients when 
upgrading to OpenPegasus 2.8.0.</p>

<h2><a name="Conformance with DMTF Specifications">Conformance
Exceptions to
DMTF Specifications</a></h2>
<p>It is a major goal
of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM
specifications.&nbsp; However, today there are a number of known
differences.&nbsp;
As of this release, some of the differences include the following:</p>
<ol>
  <li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration
through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than
support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support
this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on
provider registration.&nbsp; This is not a deviation from the
specifications but is a different method of registration than many CIM
Servers and means that the the provider qualifier is unused in Pegasus.</li>
  <li><b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process
indications and lifecycle indications when defined specifically by
providers. Pegasus does not support lifecycle indications if they are
not defined by the provider or for changes to CIM Classes.<font
 color="#ff0000"> </font><span class="norm"><font color="#ff0000">&nbsp;</font>For 
	more information see the Pegasus CVS file:<a name="comtag_137"><font size="2">
	</font><font
 face="Courier New" size="2">&nbsp;pegasus/src/Unsupported/LifecycleIndicationProvider/README.LifecycleIndications.htm</font></a><font size="2">.</font></span></li>
  <li>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><font
 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">IncludeQualifiers
option on Instance Operations</font><span style="color: black;"><b>&nbsp;</b>
-
The DMTF specifications have deprecated the use of qualifiers on
instance operations with the 1.2 CIM Operations Specification.&nbsp;
Some CIM Client implementations expect instances
returned
from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class
definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties).&nbsp; </span>&nbsp;Pegasus
today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in
accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is
that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance
parameter is supplied on instance operations.&nbsp; However, Pegasus
today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user
should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier
parameter for instance operations.&nbsp; In the future it is expected
that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance
operations completely.<font color="#ff0000"> </font></p>
  </li>
  <li><b>LocalOnly option on instance
Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM
Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the
GetInstance and Enumerate Instances operations was modified. This change
was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a
number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues
introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set
LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to
filter the set of set of properties returned. See Appendix C of this
specification for more information.</li>
  <li>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><b>MultiRequest Operations</b> - Pegasus
does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><b>MOF Compiler namespace pragma</b> - The
Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.</p>

  <li><b>CIMOperation Trailer </b>- Pegasus implements
chunking
based on the DSP0200 1.2.0 preliminary spec. including the operation trailer 
	defined in that specification Refer to bug
	<a
 href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6760">6760</a> for more details. 
	This trailer was completely removed from the DSP0200 1.2 final specification 
	as a non-compatible change so that if chunking is used Pegasus is returning 
	a noncompliant response to enumerate type requests. <br>

<h2><b><span style="font-family: Times;">OpenPegasus <a
 name="Supported Platforms">Supported
Platforms</a></span></b></h2>
<p align="left">Each OpenPegasus release lists as 'active' platforms those 
hardware/software platforms that have recognized ports for the Pegasus code base 
including a maintainer for the platform that will be willing to regularly 
document issues and/or fix defects as the Pegasus code base is changed.&nbsp; 
Pegasus may be operable on other platforms (ex. Windows 98) but without a group 
to provide the role of test and maintenance, correct operation of&nbsp; Pegasus 
cannot be assured.&nbsp; In all cases, including the active platforms, it is the 
responsibility of the entity that packages and/or compiles OpenPegasus for 
shipment or deployment, to read, and actively monitor the Pegasus bugzilla 
database for a list of relevant defects that affect their platform.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The platforms that are considered ported are shown in the two tables below.&nbsp; 
The first table represents platform sofr which testing is done on a regular 
basis and reported to the Pegasus Nightly Build Test WEB Page. Those platforms 
which have been ported but do not have test results that are current at the time 
of the release are reported in the second table</p>

database</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Effective with the start of the Pegasus 2.6 work, all changes to the CVS tree 
were documented through bugs.&nbsp; Bugs reports were filed not only for bugs and 
their corresponding fixes but also as part of the process of committing new code 
representing the work on PEPs done for Pegasus 2.6 and all subsequent versions.&nbsp; Therefore, a search of 
the Open Pegasus bugzilla base for bugs with the tag for a particular version 
(ex.&nbsp;
