   2 karl  1.59 
   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.
  66 kumpf   1.104 
  67 kumpf   1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to
  68                   report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added
  69                   an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error
  70                   response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to
  71                   process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.
  72                   Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an
  73                   HTTP error.  This functionality required fundamental changes in the
  74                   way CIMClient processes messages.  It can no longer search its queue
  75                   for a message of the expected type.  Instead, is assumes that no
  76                   messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the
  77                   encoder.  In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is
  78                   the response to that request.
  79               
  80 kumpf   1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy
  81                   to allow platform-specific version strings.
  82               
  83 kumpf   1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for
  84                   ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not
  85                   conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 
  86

  90 karl    1.93  Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  91 karl    1.94  TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  92               of problems with the CVS repository
  93 karl    1.93  
  94 karl    1.95  1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  95 karl    1.93     Tagged CVS 1_08.
  96                  
  97 karl    1.94  2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  98                  qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  99 karl    1.93  ========================================================================
 100 karl    1.59  
 101               Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
 102               Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
 103               TAG: VERSION_1_07
 104               
 105               1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
 106               
 107 sage    1.60  2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
 108 karl    1.59  
 109 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 110                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 111                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 112                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 113                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 114                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 115                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
 116               
 117                   For more information look in to the following files:
 118                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
 119                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
 120                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
 121                   pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
 122               
 123               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 124 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 125                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 126                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 127                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 128                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 129 karl    1.63     
 130 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 131 karl    1.62  
 132 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
 133 karl    1.64     Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
 134               
 135 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 136 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 137               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 138               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 139               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 140               
 141 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
 142 karl    1.66  schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
 143               will be deleted.
 144               
 145 kumpf   1.67  9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
 146               
 147               10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
 148 karl    1.66  
 149 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 150                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 151                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 152                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 153                   for remote clients.
 154 karl    1.66  
 155 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 156                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 157                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 158                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 159                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 160                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 161                   values.
 162               
 163                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 164               
 165                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 166                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 167                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 168                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 169                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 170                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 171               
 172                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 173                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 174                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 175                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 176 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 177                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 178                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 179                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 180                   specified in the method definition.
 181               
 182                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 183               
 184                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 185                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 186                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 187                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 188                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 189                   correct type rather than as a String.
 190               
 191                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 192                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 193                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 194                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 195                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 196                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 197 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 198               
 199                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 200                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 201                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 202               
 203                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 204               
 205                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 206                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 207                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 208                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 209                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 210               
 211                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 212                   clean-up, which I completed.
 213               
 214                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 215               
 216                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 217                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 218 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 219                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 220                   the specified value to that property's type.
 221               
 222                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 223                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 224                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 225                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 226               
 227                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 228                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 229                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 230                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 231                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 232                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 233               
 234 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 235                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 236                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 237                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 238                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 239                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 240                   encoding of parameter values.
 241               
 242                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 243                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 244                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 245                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 246                   have defaulted to String type.
 247 karl    1.70      
 248               14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 249                   Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)

 251 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 252                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 253                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 254                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 255                   the server.

 257               16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 258                   all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 259                  
 260 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 261                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 262                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 263                   operations.
 264               
 265                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 266 karl    1.74      
 267               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 268                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 269 karl    1.76      
 270 kumpf   1.68  
 271 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 272                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 273                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 274                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 275                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 276                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 277                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 278               
 279                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 280                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 281                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 282                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 283                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 284                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 285                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 286                   a single buffer.
 287               
 288                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 289                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 290                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 291                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 292 kumpf   1.75  
 293               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 294                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 295                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 296                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 297               
 298                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 299                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 300                   validated.
 301 karl    1.76  
 302               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 303                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 304                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 305 karl    1.78      
 306 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 307                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 308               
 309                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 310                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 311                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 312                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 313               
 314                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 315               
 316                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 317               
 318                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 319               
 320                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 321               
 322                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 323                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 324                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 325                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 326                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 327 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 328                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 329                   rather than in the constructor.
 330               
 331                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 332                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 333                   included in the Pegasus build.
 334 kumpf   1.79  
 335 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 336                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 337 kumpf   1.75  
 338 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 339                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 340                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 341                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 342                   for that purpose.   
 343               
 344                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 345               
 346                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 347                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 348                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 349                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 350                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 351               
 352                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 353               
 354                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 355                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 356                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 357               
 358                     (ex.)
 359 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 360                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 361               
 362                     or use the following new macro:
 363                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 364                   
 365 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 366 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 367               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 368               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 369               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 370               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 371 ramnath 1.81  
 372               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 373               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 374               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 375               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 376               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 377               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 378               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 379               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 380 ramnath 1.80  
 381 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 382               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 383               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 384               	in the Windows service work thread.
 385               
 386 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 387                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 388               	executable
 389                      
 390               29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 391                       executable. 
 392 kumpf   1.84  
 393               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 394                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 395                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 396                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 397                   an integer of the specified size.
 398               
 399 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 400                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 401               
 402 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 403                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 404                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 405                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 406               
 407 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 408                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 409 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 410 karl    1.88  	
 411               34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 412                   enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 413                   
 414 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 415                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 416                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 417                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 418                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 419                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 420                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 421                   linked into the server.
 422 karl    1.88  
 423 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 424                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 425                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 426               
 427 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 428                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 429                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 430                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 431                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 432 karl    1.92      
 433               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 434                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 435                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 437 kumpf   1.91  
 438 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 439 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 440               
 441               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 442                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 443                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 444                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 445 karl    1.53         
 446               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 447               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 448               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 449               	which is the current file based repository.
 450               	
 451               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 452               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 453               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 454               	in the future.
 455 karl    1.52  
 456 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 457                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 458                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 459                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 460                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 461                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 462               
 463 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 464 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 465                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 466                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 467                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 468                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 469               
 470 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 471 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 472                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 473                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 474                  program.
 475               
 476 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 477                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 478                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 479                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 480                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 481                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 482                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 483                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 484                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 485               
 486                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 487                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 488                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 489               
 490                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 491                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 492                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 493                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 494               
 495                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 496                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 497 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 498                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 499               
 500                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 501                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 502               
 503                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 511               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 512               
 513 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 514                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 515               
 516               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 517 mike    1.51  =======
 518               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 519               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 520               	
 521               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 522               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 523               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 524               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 525               	should not affect any current work.
 526               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 527               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 528               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 529               	
 530               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 531                       on XML output.
 532                       
 533               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 534               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 535               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 536               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 537               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 538 mike    1.51  
 539               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 540               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 541               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 542               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 543               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 544               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 545               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 546               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 547                       
 548               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 549               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 550               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 551               generating debug output.
 552               
 553               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 554               xml when it generates xml output.
 555               
 556               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 557               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 558               repository implementation.
 559 mike    1.51  
 560               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 561               
 562               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 563               
 564               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 565               
 566               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 567               
 568               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.
 569               
 570               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 571                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 572               
 573               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 574               
 575               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.
 576               
 577               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 578               
 579               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 580 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 581                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 582               
 583               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 584                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 585                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 586               
 587               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 588                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 589                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 590               
 591               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 592                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 593                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 594                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 595                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 596                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 597                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 598               
 599                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 600                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 601 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 602                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 603                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 604                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 605                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 606                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 607                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 608                   below:
 609               
 610                   //====================================================================
 611                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 612                   //====================================================================
 613                   [Description (
 614                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 615                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 616                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 617               
 618               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 619                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 620                   a provider library.
 621               
 622 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 623                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 624                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 625                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 626                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 627                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 628                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 629                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 630                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 631                   later). 
 632               
 633                   Also added are two test programs: 
 634               	
 635                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 636                       CIMParamValue class.
 637               	
 638                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 639                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 640                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 641                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 642                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 643 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 644               
 645               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 646                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 647                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 648                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 649                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 650                   and to verify the authentication.
 651               
 652                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 653                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 654                   yet linked into the build.
 655               
 656               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 657                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 658                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 659                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 660                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 661                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 662                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 663               
 664 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 665                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 666                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 667                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 668                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 669                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 670                   provider file path name.
 671               
 672               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 673                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 674                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 675                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 676                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 677                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 678                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 679                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 680               
 681               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 682                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 683                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 684                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 685 mike    1.51  
 686               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 687                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 688                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 689                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 690               
 691               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 692                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 693                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 694                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 695                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 696                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 697                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 698                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 699                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 700               
 701               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 702                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 703                   
 704               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 705               
 706 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 707                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 708                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 709                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 710                   in make files.
 711                  
 712               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 713                   because getting an error in 26
 714               
 715               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 716                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 717                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 718                   tag structure.
 719               
 720                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 721                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 722                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 723               
 724                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 725                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 726                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 727 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 728                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 729               
 730                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 731                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 732                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 733                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 734                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 735                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 736                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 737                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 738               
 739                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 740                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 741                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 742                   reference type.
 743               
 744                   In this example:
 745               
 746                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 747               
 748 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 749                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 750                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 751                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 752                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 753               
 754                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 755                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 756                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 757                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 758                   correctly.
 759               
 760                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
 761                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 762               
 763                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 764                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 765                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 766                   CIMOM version.
 767               
 768                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 769 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 770                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 771                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 772                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 773                   definition to determine the key property types.
 774               
 775               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 776                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 777                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 778                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 779               
 780               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 781                   (instanceName).
 782               
 783               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 784                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 785                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 786                   relevant intrinsic methods.
 787               
 788               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 789                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 790 mike    1.51  
 791               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 792                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 793                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 794                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 795                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 796                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 797                   nsk platform links. 
 798               
 799               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 800                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 801                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 802                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 803                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 804                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 805                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 806               
 807                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 808                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 809                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 810                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 811 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 812                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 813                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
 814               
 815               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 816                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 817                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 818                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 819               
 820               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 821                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 822                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 823                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 824                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 825               
 826               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 827                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 828                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 829                   be updated to use this class.
 830               
 831               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 832 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 833                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 834                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 835                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 836               
 837               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 838                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 839                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 840                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 841                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 842                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 843               
 844               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 845               
 846                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 847                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 848                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 849                         CIMNamedInstance
 850                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 851                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 852                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 853 mike    1.51  
 854                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 855               
 856                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 857                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 858                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 859                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 860                   functionality.
 861               
 862                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 863               
 864                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 865                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 866                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 867                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 868                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 869                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 870                         the entire instance.
 871               
 872                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 873                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 874 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 875               
 876                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 877                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 878                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 879               
 880                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 881                   ModifyInstance correctly.
 882               
 883               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 884                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 885                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 886                   the DMTF specification.
 887               
 888                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 889                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 890                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 891                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 892               
 893                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 894               
 895 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 896                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 897                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 898                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 899                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 900                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 901                         the entire instance.
 902               
 903                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 904                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 905                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 906                         be used to update the instance.
 907               
 908                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 909                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 910                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 911               
 912                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 913                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 914                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 915               
 916 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 917                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 918                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 919                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 920                   without the standard (std) namespace.
 921               
 922               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 923                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 924                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 925               
 926                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 927                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 928                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 929                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 930                   following command before starting cimserver:
 931               
 932                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 933               
 934                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 935                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 936                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 937 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 938                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 939                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 940                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 941               
 942               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 943                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 944                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 945               
 946               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 947                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 948                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 949                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 950                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 951               
 952                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 953                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 954                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 955                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 956                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 957                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 958 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 959               
 960               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 961                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 962               
 963                   Authentication and User Management:
 964                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 965                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 966                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 967                   generated password file. 
 968               
 969                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 970                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 971                   
 972                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 973                   management and authorization functionality.   
 974               
 975               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 976                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 977               
 978               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 979 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 980                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 981               
 982               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 983                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 984                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 985                 
 986               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 987                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 988                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 989                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 990                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 991                   or change in provider registration.  
 992               
 993               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 994                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 995                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 996                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 997               
 998               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 999                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1000 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1001                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1002                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1003                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1004                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1005                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1006                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1007                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1008                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1009                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1010                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1011 mike    1.50  
1012 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1013                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1014               
1015               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1049               
1050               5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
1051                  Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
1052                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page

1059 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1060                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1061                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1062               
1063               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1064                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1065                  that
1066                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1067                  password.
1068                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1069                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1070                  build.
1071                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1072                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1100               
1101               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1102                  ids to queue pointers).
1103               
1104 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler

1125 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1126 karl    1.16  
1127               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1128               for NT and Linux platforms.
1129 mike    1.26  
1130 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1131               5988.
1132               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1133               the DMTF.
1134 mike    1.26  
1135 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1136               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1137               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1138               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1139 mike    1.26  
1140 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1141               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1142               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1143 mike    1.26  
1144 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1145               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1146               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1147               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1148               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1149               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1150 bob     1.20  (grb)
1151 mike    1.26  
1152 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1153               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1154               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1155 mike    1.26  
1156 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1157 mike    1.26  
1158 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1159               modifyClass,
1160 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1161 mike    1.26  
1162 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1163               directory. These
1164               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1165               CIMProviderStub has
1166 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1167 mike    1.26  
1168 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1169 mike    1.26  
1170 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1171               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1172 mike    1.26  
1173               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1174 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1175               
1176               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1177                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1178                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1179                   Need to handle deleteInstance().

1184 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1185               AssociationName
1186 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1187               pages.
1188               
1189 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1190 sage    1.31  
1191               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1192               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1193               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1194               variables.
1195 mike    1.32  
1196               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1197                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1198                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1199 kumpf   1.34  
1200               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1201                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1202                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1203                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1204                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1205                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1206                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1207 karl    1.35  
1208               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1209                   tests for stack and queue.

1223               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture

1243               not

1273 karl    1.5   
1274 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1275               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1276               
1277 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1278               of dynamic lib loaading.

1284 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1285 karl    1.1   
1286               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1287               qualifiers, methods.
1288               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1289               methods.
1290               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1291               qualifiers and to
1292               remove qualifiers.
1293               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1294               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1295 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1296               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1297               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1298               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1299               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
