  5 mike  1.10     - Having problems with reference on Repository::createInstance() and
  6                  Repository::getInstance(). References not always in standard form.
  7                  Also, resolve() fails when instance has properties of difference
  8                  case.

 12            
 13                Now:
 14            
 15                -    Get ACE working on Tandem (or remove ACE from Pegasus).
 16                -    Port Pegasus to Tandem (look for Tandem machine at BMC).
 17                -    Instance repository.
 18                -    Finalize provider interface.
 19                -    Associations (basic).
 20                -    Provider registration (by the standard).
 21                -    MOF compiler (finalize).
 22                -    Write short paper on Pegasus data objects.
 23                -    Integrate DOC++ with make system.
 24                -    Implement the process provider.
 25                -    Compaq requested SQL level-1 description.
 26                -    Get rid of ACE (required if no ACE on Tandem).
 27                -    Need query capability for Compaq.
 28                -    Threading (and process forking).
 29                -    Implement protocol module (the default uses ACE).

 30 mike  1.7      -	 Package up pegasus in Install Shield application.

 33 mike  1.1      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 34            

 35 mike  1.8      (A)	Modify clear() methods on Array and String so that they don't
 36            	release the old resource (more efficient for GetLine()). Add
 37            	a resize() method.
 38            
 39                (A)	Handle escaping of strings inside object names. Example:
 40            
 41                		X.key1="Hello \"You\""
 42            

 43 mike  1.4      (A) Change make system to rename dll's before link so that they
 44            	can be used by the server.
 45            

 46 mike  1.3      (A) Hide setPropagated() and setClassOrigin() methods (only the resolve
 47                    method should touch these).
 48            

 49 mike  1.2      (A) Notice that there is a bug where you select Scope::REFERENCE and
 50            	and the validation routines still say the scope is wrong for
 51            	qualifiers applied actual references (they are checking for
 52            	property instead).
 53            
 54                (A) There is an odering problem when applying the qualifiers with
 55                	association scope to classes. If the association qualifier does not
 56            	come first, then application of prior qualifiers fail.
 57            	Checking this should be moved to class resolution.
 58            

 59 mike  1.1      (A) Implement instances.
 60            
 61                (A) Providers.

 64            
 65                (B) Finish other CIM/HTTP protocol operations.
 66            
 67                (B) Use the description that comes back with an error code in the XML
 68                	protocol. Perhaps it should become an extra message field of
 69            	XmlException.
 70            
 71                (B) Source documentation.
 72            
 73                (B) Put README in each directory.
 74            
 75                (B) Handle UCS2 characters in XML (parsing and writing).
 76            
 77                (B) Check for overflow on the number of attributes in XML.

 83                ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 84            
 85                (C) Suppress error message printed by ACE caused by constructing an 
 86                    address from a non existent host.

 90                (C) Get rid of fullyQualified flag.
 91            
 92                (C) Handling of hexadecimal integer values.
 93            
 94                (C) VALUE.REFERENCE within INSTANCENAME and KEYBINDING.
 95            
 96                (C) Resolve whether MOF is a requirement.
 97            
 98                (C) Handle case sensitivity of CIM identifiers.
 99            
100                (C) Figure out how to handle CIM null values.
101 mike  1.1  
102                (C) Make iteration scheme more general.
103            
104                (C) Develop XML repository importation mechanism.
105            
106                (C) Move internal headers to ./internal directory
107            
108                (C) Split up XxxRep objects from Xxx objects.
109            
110                (C) Handle case insentive requirement on repository file names.
111            
112                (C) Devise a way to detect whether a class has instances.
113            
114                (C) Cleanup of execeptions.
115            
116                (C) Verify that fixed length arrays are properly handled.
117            
118                (C) Check for null string pointers in String class.
119            
120                (C) Verify that instances are property keyed (during validation).
121            
122 mike  1.1      (C) Thread safety.
123

127
