   3 karl  1.95 Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
   4            TAG: Version_1_09.
   5            
   6            1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
   7            
   8 kumpf 1.96 2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
   9               class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  10               CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  11               a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  12               internally throughout the system.
  13            
  14               This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  15               to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  16               single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  17               error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  18               errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  19               currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  20               such as:
  21            
  22                   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  23                   to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  24                   or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  25                   "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  26            
  27               The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  28               information to be eliminated from the messages.
  29 karl  1.97    
  30            3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  31               after roger fixed timevalue.
  32 kumpf 1.96 
  33 kumpf 1.98 4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  34            
  35 kumpf 1.99 5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  36 kumpf 1.100                       Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
  37 kumpf 1.99  
  38 ramnath 1.101 6. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 8 Apr 2002 - Modified a libraries.mak file in the 	src/Pegasus/Security/Authentication/tests directory in order to fix the 
  39               	build on Tru64.
  40               
  41 kumpf   1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements
  42                  of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.
  43                  The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements
  44                  optional for operations that do not require a return value.  The server
  45                  response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the
  46                  request does not include a return value.
  47               
  48 kumpf   1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and
  49                  Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>
  50                  for the propertyList parameters.  All providers that implement a method
  51                  with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this
  52                  change.  All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.
  53               
  54 kumpf   1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
  55 kumpf   1.104    returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.
  56                  Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
  57 kumpf   1.105 
  58               10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()
  59                   method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition
  60                   from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets
  61                   the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to
  62                   the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in
  63                   Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The
  64                   places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also
  65                   changed to use the constants.

  69 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  70 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  71               of problems with the CVS repository
  72 karl    1.93  
  73 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  74 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
  75                  
  76 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  77                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.

  79 karl    1.59  
  80               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  81               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  82               TAG: VERSION_1_07
  83               
  84               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  85               
  86 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  87 karl    1.59  
  88 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  89                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  90                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  91                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  92                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  93                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  94                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  95               
  96                   For more information look in to the following files:
  97                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  98                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  99                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
 100                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 101               
 102               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 103 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 104                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 105                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 106                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 107                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 108 karl    1.63     
 109 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 110 karl    1.62  
 111 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 112 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 113               
 114 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 115 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 116               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 117               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 118               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 119               
 120 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 121 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 122               will be deleted.
 123               
 124 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 125               
 126               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 127 karl    1.66  
 128 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 129                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 130                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 131                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 132                   for remote clients.
 133 karl    1.66  
 134 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 135                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 136                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 137                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 138                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 139                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 140                   values.
 141               
 142                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 143               
 144                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 145                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 146                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 147                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 148                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 149                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 150               
 151                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 152                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 153                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 154                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 155 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 156                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 157                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 158                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 159                   specified in the method definition.
 160               
 161                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 162               
 163                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 164                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 165                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 166                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 167                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 168                   correct type rather than as a String.
 169               
 170                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 171                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 172                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 173                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 174                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 175                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 176 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 177               
 178                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 179                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 180                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 181               
 182                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 183               
 184                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 185                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 186                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 187                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 188                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 189               
 190                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 191                   clean-up, which I completed.
 192               
 193                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 194               
 195                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 196                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 197 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 198                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 199                   the specified value to that property's type.
 200               
 201                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 202                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 203                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 204                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 205               
 206                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 207                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 208                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 209                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 210                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 211                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 212               
 213 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 214                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 215                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 216                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 217                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 218                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 219                   encoding of parameter values.
 220               
 221                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 222                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 223                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 224                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 225                   have defaulted to String type.
 226 karl    1.70      
 227               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 228                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 229 karl    1.72    
 230 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 231                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 232                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 233                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 234                   the server.
 235 karl    1.72      
 236               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 237                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 238                  
 239 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 240                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 241                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 242                   operations.
 243               
 244                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 245 karl    1.74      
 246               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 247                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 248 karl    1.76      
 249 kumpf   1.68  
 250 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 251                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 252                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 253                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 254                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 255                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 256                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 257               
 258                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 259                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 260                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 261                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 262                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 263                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 264                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 265                   a single buffer.
 266               
 267                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 268                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 269                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 270                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 271 kumpf   1.75  
 272               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 273                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 274                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 275                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 276               
 277                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 278                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 279                   validated.
 280 karl    1.76  
 281               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 282                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 283                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 284 karl    1.78      
 285 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 286                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 287               
 288                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 289                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 290                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 291                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 292               
 293                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 294               
 295                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 296               
 297                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 298               
 299                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 300               
 301                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 302                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 303                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 304                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 305                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 306 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 307                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 308                   rather than in the constructor.
 309               
 310                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 311                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 312                   included in the Pegasus build.
 313 kumpf   1.79  
 314 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 315                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 316 kumpf   1.75  
 317 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 318                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 319                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 320                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 321                   for that purpose.   
 322               
 323                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 324               
 325                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 326                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 327                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 328                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 329                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 330               
 331                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 332               
 333                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 334                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 335                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 336               
 337                     (ex.)
 338 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 339                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 340               
 341                     or use the following new macro:
 342                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 343                   
 344 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 345 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 346               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 347               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 348               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 349               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 350 ramnath 1.81  
 351               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 352               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 353               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 354               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 355               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 356               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 357               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 358               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 359 ramnath 1.80  
 360 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 361               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 362               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 363               	in the Windows service work thread.
 364               
 365 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 366                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 367               	executable
 368                      
 369               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 370                       executable. 
 371 kumpf   1.84  
 372               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 373                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 374                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 375                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 376                   an integer of the specified size.
 377               
 378 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 379                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 380               
 381 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 382                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 383                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 384                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 385               
 386 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 387                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 388 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 389 karl    1.88  	
 390               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 391                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 392                   
 393 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 394                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 395                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 396                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 397                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 398                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 399                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 400                   linked into the server.
 401 karl    1.88  
 402 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 403                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 404                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 405               
 406 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 407                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 408                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 409                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 410                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 411 karl    1.92      
 412               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 413                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 414                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 417 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 418 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 419               
 420               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 421                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 422                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 423                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 424 karl    1.53         
 425               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 426               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 427               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 428               	which is the current file based repository.
 429               	
 430               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 431               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 432               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 433               	in the future.
 434 karl    1.52  
 435 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 436                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 437                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 438                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 439                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 440                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 441               
 442 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 443 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 444                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 445                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 446                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 447                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 448               
 449 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 450 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 451                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 452                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 453                  program.
 454               
 455 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 456                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 457                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 458                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 459                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 460                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 461                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 462                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 463                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 464               
 465                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 466                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 467                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 468               
 469                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 470                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 471                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 472                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 473               
 474                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 475                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 476 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 477                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 478               
 479                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 480                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 481               
 482                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 497               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 498               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 499               	
 500               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 501               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 502               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 503               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 504               	should not affect any current work.
 505               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 506               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 507               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 508               	
 509               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 510                       on XML output.
 511                       
 512               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 513               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 514               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 515               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 516               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 517 mike    1.51  
 518               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 519               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 520               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 521               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 522               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 523               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 524               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 525               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 526                       
 527               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 528               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 529               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 530               generating debug output.
 531               
 532               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 533               xml when it generates xml output.
 534               
 535               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 536               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 537               repository implementation.
 538 mike    1.51  
 539               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 540               
 541               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 542               
 543               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 544               
 545               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 546               
 547               14. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug that was creating an empty file when trace was not enabled. Changed the Tracer test program's executable file name to TracerTest instead of Tracer.
 548               
 549               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 550                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 551               
 552               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 553               
 554               17. (Jim Chou - HP) 12 Sep 2001 - Initial contribution of wbemexec test directory and make infrastructure.  This submittal also includes an initial set of test scripts.
 555               
 556               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 557               
 558               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 559 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 560                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 561               
 562               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 563                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 564                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 565               
 566               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 567                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 568                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 569               
 570               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 571                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 572                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 573                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 574                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 575                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 576                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 577               
 578                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 579                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 580 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 581                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 582                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 583                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 584                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 585                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 586                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 587                   below:
 588               
 589                   //====================================================================
 590                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 591                   //====================================================================
 592                   [Description (
 593                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 594                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 595                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 596               
 597               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 598                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 599                   a provider library.
 600               
 601 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 602                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 603                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 604                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 605                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 606                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 607                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 608                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 609                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 610                   later). 
 611               
 612                   Also added are two test programs: 
 613               	
 614                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 615                       CIMParamValue class.
 616               	
 617                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 618                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 619                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 620                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 621                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 622 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 623               
 624               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 625                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 626                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 627                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 628                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 629                   and to verify the authentication.
 630               
 631                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 632                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 633                   yet linked into the build.
 634               
 635               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 636                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 637                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 638                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 639                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 640                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 641                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 642               
 643 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 644                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 645                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 646                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 647                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 648                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 649                   provider file path name.
 650               
 651               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 652                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 653                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 654                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 655                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 656                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 657                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 658                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 659               
 660               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 661                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 662                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 663                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 664 mike    1.51  
 665               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 666                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 667                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 668                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 669               
 670               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 671                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 672                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 673                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 674                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 675                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 676                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 677                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 678                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 679               
 680               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 681                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 682                   
 683               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 684               
 685 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 686                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 687                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 688                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 689                   in make files.
 690                  
 691               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 692                   because getting an error in 26
 693               
 694               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 695                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 696                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 697                   tag structure.
 698               
 699                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 700                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 701                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 702               
 703                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 704                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 705                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 706 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 707                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 708               
 709                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 710                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 711                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 712                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 713                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 714                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 715                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 716                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 717               
 718                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 719                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 720                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 721                   reference type.
 722               
 723                   In this example:
 724               
 725                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 726               
 727 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 728                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 729                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 730                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 731                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 732               
 733                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 734                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 735                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 736                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 737                   correctly.
 738               
 739                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 740                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 741               
 742                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 743                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 744                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 745                   CIMOM version.
 746               
 747                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 748 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 749                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 750                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 751                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 752                   definition to determine the key property types.
 753               
 754               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 755                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 756                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 757                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 758               
 759               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 760                   (instanceName).
 761               
 762               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 763                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 764                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 765                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 766               
 767               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 768                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 769 mike    1.51  
 770               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 771                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 772                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 773                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 774                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 775                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 776                   nsk platform links. 
 777               
 778               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 779                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 780                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 781                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 782                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 783                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 784                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 785               
 786                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 787                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 788                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 789                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 790 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 791                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 792                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 793               
 794               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 795                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 796                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 797                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 798               
 799               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 800                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 801                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 802                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 803                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 804               
 805               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 806                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 807                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 808                   be updated to use this class.
 809               
 810               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 811 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 812                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 813                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 814                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 815               
 816               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 817                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 818                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 819                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 820                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 821                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 822               
 823               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 824               
 825                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 826                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 827                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 828                         CIMNamedInstance
 829                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 830                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 831                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 832 mike    1.51  
 833                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 834               
 835                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 836                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 837                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 838                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 839                   functionality.
 840               
 841                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 842               
 843                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 844                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 845                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 846                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 847                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 848                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 849                         the entire instance.
 850               
 851                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 852                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 853 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 854               
 855                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 856                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 857                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 858               
 859                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 860                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 861               
 862               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 863                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 864                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 865                   the DMTF specification.
 866               
 867                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 868                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 869                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 870                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 871               
 872                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 873               
 874 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 875                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 876                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 877                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 878                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 879                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 880                         the entire instance.
 881               
 882                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 883                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 884                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 885                         be used to update the instance.
 886               
 887                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 888                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 889                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 890               
 891                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 892                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 893                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 894               
 895 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 896                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 897                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 898                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 899                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 900               
 901               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 902                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 903                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 904               
 905                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 906                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 907                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 908                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 909                   following command before starting cimserver:
 910               
 911                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 912               
 913                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 914                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 915                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 916 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 917                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 918                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 919                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 920               
 921               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 922                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 923                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 924               
 925               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 926                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 927                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 928                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 929                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 930               
 931                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 932                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 933                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 934                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 935                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 936                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 937 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 938               
 939               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 940                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 941               
 942                   Authentication and User Management:
 943                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 944                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 945                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 946                   generated password file. 
 947               
 948                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 949                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 950                   
 951                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 952                   management and authorization functionality.   
 953               
 954               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 955                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 956               
 957               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 958 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 959                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 960               
 961               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 962                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 963                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 964                 
 965               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 966                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 967                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 968                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 969                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 970                   or change in provider registration.  
 971               
 972               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 973                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 974                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 975                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 976               
 977               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 978                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 979 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 980                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 981                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 982                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 983                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 984                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 985                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
 986                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 987                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 988                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 989                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 990 mike    1.50  
 991 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 992                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 993               
 994               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1038 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1039                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1040                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1041               
1042               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1043                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1044                  that
1045                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1046                  password.
1047                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1048                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1049                  build.
1050                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1051                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1104 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1105 karl    1.16  
1106               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1107               for NT and Linux platforms.
1108 mike    1.26  
1109 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1110               5988.
1111               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1112               the DMTF.
1113 mike    1.26  
1114 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1115               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1116               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1117               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1118 mike    1.26  
1119 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1120               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1121               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1122 mike    1.26  
1123 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1124               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1125               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1126               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1127               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1128               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1129 bob     1.20  (grb)
1130 mike    1.26  
1131 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1132               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1133               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1134 mike    1.26  
1135 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1136 mike    1.26  
1137 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1138               modifyClass,
1139 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1140 mike    1.26  
1141 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1142               directory. These
1143               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1144               CIMProviderStub has
1145 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1146 mike    1.26  
1147 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1148 mike    1.26  
1149 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1150               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1151 mike    1.26  
1152               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1153 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1154               
1155               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1156                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1157                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1158                   Need to handle deleteInstance().

1161 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1162               
1163 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1164               AssociationName
1165 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1166               pages.
1167               
1168 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1169 sage    1.31  
1170               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1171               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1172               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1173               variables.
1174 mike    1.32  
1175               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1176                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1177                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1178 kumpf   1.34  
1179               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1180                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1181                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1182                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1183                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1184                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1185                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1186 karl    1.35  
1187               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1188                   tests for stack and queue.

1252 karl    1.5   
1253 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1254               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1255               
1256 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1257               of dynamic lib loaading.

1263 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1264 karl    1.1   
1265               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1266               qualifiers, methods.
1267               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1268               methods.
1269               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1270               qualifiers and to
1271               remove qualifiers.
1272               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1273               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1274 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1275               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1276               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1277               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1278               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
