   1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
   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               
  87 kumpf   1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags  _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.
  88               
  89 kumpf   1.108 
  90 kumpf   1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 
  91                   authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 
  92                   platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 
  93                   the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 
  94               
  95 kumpf   1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods
  96                  Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference
  97                  between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return
  98                  the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added
  99                  method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an
 100                  interval.
 101               
 102 kumpf   1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 
 103                  indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample
 104                  DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as
 105                  localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your
 106                  PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:
 107                  logicalname = DisplayConsumer
 108                  This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume
 109                  the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).
 110               
 111 kumpf   1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider
 112                  registration notification to subscription service.
 113               
 114 kumpf   1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for
 115                   CIMClient API users.  All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now
 116                   subclasses of CIMClientException.  The CIMClient methods are defined
 117                   as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions
 118                   thrown to change without changing the method signatures.  It also makes
 119                   it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be
 120                   handled.
 121               
 122                   A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.
 123                   This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM
 124                   operation response decoder to the CIMClient.  Previously, several
 125                   classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder.  New
 126                   CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these
 127                   exceptions.  These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed
 128                   back to the client application.  Examples are unparsable HTTP
 129                   responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,
 130                   message type).
 131               
 132                   The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been
 133                   updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
 134 karl    1.115     
 135 kumpf   1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build.  Includes
 136 karl    1.115     usage and help.
 137                   This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client
 138                   or direct to the repository.
 139                
 140 kumpf   1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
 141 karl    1.115     priorities.
 142 kumpf   1.114 
 143 kumpf   1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
 144 sage    1.116 
 145 kumpf   1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
 146 sage    1.117     for performance statistics.
 147 kumpf   1.118 
 148               24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the
 149                   String class which had a dependency on the TCL license.  Where this
 150                   code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to
 151                   String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace
 152                   in an HTTP extension header.  For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix
 153                   argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader
 154                   will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag".  This behavior more
 155                   closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is
 156                   therefore more correct.
 157 sage    1.117 
 158 kumpf   1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of 
 159                   PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done
 160                   to support component level version tracking.
 161               
 162 sage    1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation
 163               
 164 kumpf   1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes
 165                  to the Managed System OS provider.  Rolled in the Linux support from
 166                  the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and
 167                  Windows OS providers.
 168               
 169 kumpf   1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property
 170                   "unset" functionality.  cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a
 171                   property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both)
 172                   are to be updated.  It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value
 173                   should be unset (reset to default).
 174               
 175 kumpf   1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration
 176                   property owners to remove redundant code.
 177               
 178 kumpf   1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a
 179                   new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the
 180                   obsolete Channel code.  Also add SSL option to wbemexec.
 181               
 182 kumpf   1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the
 183                   CIMMessage subclasses.
 184               
 185 kumpf   1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects
 186                   in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 
 187                   of array values.
 188 karl    1.127     
 189               33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 
 190                   not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed.
 191                   
 192 kumpf   1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class.  Fixed the
 193                   places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the
 194                   Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions
 195                   to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.
 196                   Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked
 197                   the _CString class for internal use only.
 198               
 199 kumpf   1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 
 200                   syslog on the HP-UX platform.
 201               
 202               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 
 203                   CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC.
 204                   Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference
 205                   between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 
 206                   difference between two intervals.
 207               
 208 mary    1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 
 209                   pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 
 210                   platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 
 211                   for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 
 212                   hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 
 213                   is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 
 214                   the correct value.
 215               
 216 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 217                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 218                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 219                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 220                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 221               
 222                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 223                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 224                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 225                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 226                   performance on my system.
 227               
 228                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 229                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 230                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 231                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 232                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 233                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).
 234               
 235 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 236                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 237                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 238                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 239               
 240                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 241                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 242                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 243                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.
 244               
 245 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 246                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 247                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 248                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 249                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 250                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 251               
 252 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 253                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 254                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 255                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 256                   the published client and provider APIs.
 257               
 258 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 259                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 260                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 261               
 262 kumpf   1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in 
 263 kumpf   1.136     CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 
 264                   SSLContext to the client api. 
 265               
 266 kumpf   1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 267                   each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing
 268                   ArrayReps and reference counting.
 269               
 270 kumpf   1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
 271 kumpf   1.138     TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 
 272                   SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 
 273                   removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only
 274                   need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use.
 275               
 276 kumpf   1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve
 277                   method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 
 278                   disallow passwordFilePath="". 
 279               
 280 kumpf   1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
 281 kumpf   1.140     API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port
 282                   number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 
 283                   and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal()
 284                   method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and
 285                   connect to HTTPS port.
 286               
 287 kumpf   1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related
 288                   to rollback failure. 
 289               
 290 sage    1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support
 291                   The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 
 292                   case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a
 293                   factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the
 294                   CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 
 295                   src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/
 296               
 297 sage    1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
 298 kumpf   1.144 
 299               51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 -  Added config properties 
 300                   'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 
 301                   'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' 
 302 kumpf   1.145     to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.
 303 kumpf   1.144 
 304 kumpf   1.145 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 305                   the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was
 306                   accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for
 307                   each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.
 308                   The array template implementation is still available for use within
 309                   the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array
 310                   types used internally.
 311 karl    1.146     
 312               53. KS 28 May 2002 - Added heiarchial subclass search of subclasses to 
 313                   enumerateinstancenames and enumerateinstances.  There is a problem
 314                   however with trashing of the requests messages so there is a
 315                   flag LIMIT_ENUM_TO_ONE_LEVEL in CIMOperationDispatcher.cpp that
 316                   causes it to go through all the motions except to request instances
 317                   only for the current level.
 318               
 319 kumpf   1.147 54. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 28 May 2002 - Replaced getenv("PEGASUS_TRACE")
 320                   with Tracer calls. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigSettingProvider to
 321                   check for user credentials. UserAuthProvider checks whether the user
 322 kumpf   1.148     is a privileged user for all operations. ConfigSettingProvider checks
 323                   whether the user is a privileged user only for write operations.
 324 sage    1.143 
 325 kumpf   1.149 55. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 30 May 2002 -
 326                   Removed the CIMNamedInstance and CIMObjectWithPath classes.  The CIMObject
 327                   and CIMInstance classes now include a setPath (CIMObjectPath) method.  
 328                   These changes will affect Clients and Providers.  A call to the 
 329                   CIMNamedInstance constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMInstance should 
 330                   be replaced with a call to the setPath () method on the CIMInstance, 
 331                   passing the same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMNamedInstance 
 332                   getInstance () method should be replaced with the CIMInstance, and a call 
 333                   to the CIMNamedInstance getInstanceName () method should be replaced with a
 334                   call to the getPath () method on the CIMInstance.  A call to the 
 335                   CIMObjectWithPath constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMObject, should 
 336                   be replaced with a call the setPath () method on the CIMObject, passing the
 337                   same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMObjectWithPath getObject () method 
 338                   should be replaced with the CIMObject, and a call to the CIMObjectWithPath 
 339                   getReference () method should be replaced with a call to the CIMObject 
 340                   getPath () method.
 341               
 342 kumpf   1.150 55. (Jenny Yu - HP) 31 May 2002 - Implemented a cimserver_kill() method 
 343                   to kill the CIMServer process if the CIM Server is still running after
 344                   the shutdown timeout has expired during shutdown.  The CIMServer process
 345                   Id is saved in a file after CIMServer starts up.  This file is removed
 346                   after CIMServer terminates normally.  Only added code for the HPUX
 347                   platform.

 369 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 370                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 371                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 372                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 373                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 374                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 375                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

 383               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 384 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 385                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 386                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 387                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 388                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 389 karl    1.63     
 390 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 391 karl    1.62

 395 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 396 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 397               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 398               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 399               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 400               
 401 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in

 409 kumpf   1.67  11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
 410                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 411                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 412                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 413                   for remote clients.
 414 karl    1.66  
 415 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 416                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 417                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 418                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 419                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 420                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 421                   values.
 422               
 423                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 424               
 425                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 426                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 427                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 428                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 429                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 430                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 431               
 432                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 433                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 434                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 435                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 436 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 437                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 438                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 439                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 440                   specified in the method definition.
 441               
 442                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 443               
 444                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 445                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 446                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 447                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 448                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 449                   correct type rather than as a String.
 450               
 451                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 452                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 453                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 454                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 455                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 456                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 457 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 458               
 459                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 460                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 461                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 462               
 463                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 464               
 465                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 466                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 467                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 468                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 469                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 470               
 471                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 472                   clean-up, which I completed.
 473               
 474                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 475               
 476                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 477                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 478 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 479                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 480                   the specified value to that property's type.
 481               
 482                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 483                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 484                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 485                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 486               
 487                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 488                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 489                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 490                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 491                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 492                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 493               
 494 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 495                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 496                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 497                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 498                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 499                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 500                   encoding of parameter values.
 501               
 502                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 503                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 504                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 505                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 506                   have defaulted to String type.

 510 karl    1.72    
 511 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 512                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 513                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 514                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 515                   the server.

 519                  
 520 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 521                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 522                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 523                   operations.
 524               
 525                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 528                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 529 karl    1.76      
 530 kumpf   1.68  
 531 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 532                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 533                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 534                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 535                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 536                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 537                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 538               
 539                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 540                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 541                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 542                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 543                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 544                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 545                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 546                   a single buffer.
 547               
 548                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 549                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 550                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 551                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 552 kumpf   1.75  
 553               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 554                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 555                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 556                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 557               
 558                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 559                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 560                   validated.

 565 karl    1.78      
 566 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 567                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 568               
 569                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 570                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 571                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 572                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 573               
 574                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 575               
 576                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 577               
 578                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 579               
 580                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 581               
 582                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 583                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 584                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 585                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 586                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 587 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 588                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 589                   rather than in the constructor.
 590               
 591                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 592                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 593                   included in the Pegasus build.

 595 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 596                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 597 kumpf   1.75  
 598 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 599                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 600                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 601                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 602                   for that purpose.   
 603               
 604                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 605               
 606                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 607                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 608                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 609                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 610                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 611               
 612                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 613               
 614                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 615                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 616                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 617               
 618                     (ex.)
 619 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 620                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 621               
 622                     or use the following new macro:
 623                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 624                   
 625 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 626 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 627               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 628               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 629               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 630               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 631 ramnath 1.81  
 632               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 633               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 634               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 635               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 636               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 637               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 638               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 639               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 640 ramnath 1.80  
 641 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 642               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 643               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 644               	in the Windows service work thread.

 646 karl    1.83  28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 647                       local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 648               	executable

 652 kumpf   1.84  
 653               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 654                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 655                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 656                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 657                   an integer of the specified size.
 658               
 659 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 660                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 661               
 662 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 663                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 664                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 665                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 666               
 667 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 668                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 669 ramnath 1.87  	InstanceDataFile.cpp

 673                   
 674 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 675                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 676                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 677                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 678                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 679                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 680                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 681                   linked into the server.

 683 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 684                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 685                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 686               
 687 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 688                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 689                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 690                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 691                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 692 karl    1.92      
 693               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 694                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 695                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 698 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 699 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 700               
 701               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 702                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 703                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 704                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 705 karl    1.53         
 706               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 707               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 708               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 709               	which is the current file based repository.
 710               	
 711               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 712               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 713               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 714               	in the future.
 715 karl    1.52  
 716 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 717                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 718                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 719                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 720                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 721                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 722               
 723 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 724 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 725                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 726                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 727                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 728                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 729               
 730 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 731 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 732                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 733                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 734                  program.
 735               
 736 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 737                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 738                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 739                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 740                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 741                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 742                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 743                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 744                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 745               
 746                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 747                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 748                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 749               
 750                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 751                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 752                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 753                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 754               
 755                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 756                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 757 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 758                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 759               
 760                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 761                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 762               
 763                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 771               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 772               
 773 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 774                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 775               
 776               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 777 mike    1.51  =======
 778               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 779               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 780               	
 781               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 782               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 783               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 784               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 785               	should not affect any current work.
 786               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 787               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 788               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 789               	
 790               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 791                       on XML output.
 792                       
 793               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 794               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 795               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 796               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 797               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 798 mike    1.51  
 799               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 800               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 801               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 802               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 803               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 804               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 805               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 806               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 807                       
 808               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 809               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 810               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 811               generating debug output.
 812               
 813               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 814               xml when it generates xml output.
 815               
 816               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 817               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 818               repository implementation.
 819 mike    1.51  
 820               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 821               
 822               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 823               
 824               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 825               
 826               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 827               
 828               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.
 829               
 830               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 831                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 832               
 833               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 834               
 835               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.
 836               
 837               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 838               
 839               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 840 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 841                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 842               
 843               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 844                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 845                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 846               
 847               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 848                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 849                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 850               
 851               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 852                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 853                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 854                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 855                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 856                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 857                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 858               
 859                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 860                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 861 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 862                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 863                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 864                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 865                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 866                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 867                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 868                   below:
 869               
 870                   //====================================================================
 871                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 872                   //====================================================================
 873                   [Description (
 874                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 875                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 876                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 877               
 878               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 879                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 880                   a provider library.
 881               
 882 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 883                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 884                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 885                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 886                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 887                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 888                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 889                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 890                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 891                   later). 
 892               
 893                   Also added are two test programs: 
 894               	
 895                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 896                       CIMParamValue class.
 897               	
 898                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 899                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 900                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 901                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 902                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 903 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 904               
 905               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 906                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 907                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 908                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 909                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 910                   and to verify the authentication.
 911               
 912                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 913                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 914                   yet linked into the build.
 915               
 916               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 917                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 918                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 919                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 920                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 921                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 922                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 923               
 924 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 925                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 926                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 927                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 928                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 929                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 930                   provider file path name.
 931               
 932               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 933                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 934                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 935                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 936                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 937                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 938                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 939                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 940               
 941               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 942                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 943                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 944                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 945 mike    1.51  
 946               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 947                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 948                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 949                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 950               
 951               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 952                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 953                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 954                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 955                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 956                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 957                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 958                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 959                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 960               
 961               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 962                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 963                   
 964               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6

 966 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 967                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 968                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 969                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 970                   in make files.
 971                  
 972               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 973                   because getting an error in 26
 974               
 975               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 976                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 977                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 978                   tag structure.
 979               
 980                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 981                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 982                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 983               
 984                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 985                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 986                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 987 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 988                   of String type and a key of reference type.
 989               
 990                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 991                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 992                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 993                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 994                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 995                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 996                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 997                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 998               
 999                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
1000                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
1001                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
1002                   reference type.
1003               
1004                   In this example:
1005               
1006                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
1007               
1008 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
1009                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
1010                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
1011                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
1012                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
1013               
1014                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
1015                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
1016                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
1017                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
1018                   correctly.
1019               
1020                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
1021                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
1022               
1023                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
1024                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
1025                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
1026                   CIMOM version.
1027               
1028                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
1029 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
1030                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
1031                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
1032                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
1033                   definition to determine the key property types.
1034               
1035               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1036                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1037                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1038                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1039               
1040               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1041                   (instanceName).
1042               
1043               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1044                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1045                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1046                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1047               
1048               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1049                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1050 mike    1.51  
1051               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1052                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1053                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1054                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1055                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1056                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1057                   nsk platform links. 
1058               
1059               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1060                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1061                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1062                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1063                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1064                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1065                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1066               
1067                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1068                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1069                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1070                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1071 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1072                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1073                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1074               
1075               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1076                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1077                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1078                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1079               
1080               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1081                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1082                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1083                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1084                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1085               
1086               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1087                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1088                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1089                   be updated to use this class.
1090               
1091               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1092 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1093                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1094                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1095                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1096               
1097               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1098                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1099                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1100                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1101                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1102                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1103               
1104               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1105               
1106                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1107                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1108                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1109                         CIMNamedInstance
1110                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1111                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1112                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1113 mike    1.51  
1114                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1115               
1116                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1117                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1118                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1119                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1120                   functionality.
1121               
1122                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1123               
1124                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1125                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1126                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1127                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1128                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1129                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1130                         the entire instance.
1131               
1132                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1133                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1134 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1135               
1136                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1137                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1138                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1139               
1140                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1141                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1142               
1143               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1144                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1145                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1146                   the DMTF specification.
1147               
1148                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1149                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1150                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1151                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1152               
1153                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1154               
1155 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1156                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1157                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1158                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1159                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1160                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1161                         the entire instance.
1162               
1163                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1164                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1165                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1166                         be used to update the instance.
1167               
1168                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1169                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1170                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1171               
1172                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1173                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1174                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1175               
1176 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1177                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1178                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1179                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1180                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1181               
1182               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1183                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1184                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1185               
1186                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1187                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1188                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1189                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1190                   following command before starting cimserver:
1191               
1192                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1193               
1194                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1195                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1196                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1197 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1198                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1199                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1200                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1201               
1202               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1203                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1204                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1205               
1206               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1207                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1208                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1209                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1210                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1211               
1212                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1213                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1214                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1215                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1216                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1217                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1218 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1219               
1220               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1221                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1222               
1223                   Authentication and User Management:
1224                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1225                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1226                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1227                   generated password file. 
1228               
1229                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1230                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1231                   
1232                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1233                   management and authorization functionality.   
1234               
1235               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1236                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1237               
1238               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1239 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1240                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1241               
1242               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1243                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1244                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1245                 
1246               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1247                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1248                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1249                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1250                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1251                   or change in provider registration.  
1252               
1253               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1254                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1255                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1256                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1257               
1258               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1259                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1260 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1261                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1262                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1263                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1264                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1265                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1266                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1267                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1268                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1269                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1270                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1271 mike    1.50  
1272 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1273                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1274               
1275               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1319 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1320                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1321                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1322               
1323               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1324                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1325                  that
1326                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a

1348               
1349 kumpf   1.39  2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes
1350                  in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names.
1351               
1352 mike    1.41  3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes.
1353               
1354               4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing.
1355               
1356 kumpf   1.40  3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to
1357                  allow slp to compile.
1358               
1359 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1360               
1361               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1362                  ids to queue pointers).
1363               
1364 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1365                  and Dispatcher.
1366               
1367 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1368               and
1369                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1370 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1385 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1386 karl    1.16  
1387               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1388               for NT and Linux platforms.
1389 mike    1.26  
1390 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1391               5988.
1392               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1393               the DMTF.
1394 mike    1.26  
1395 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1396               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1397               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1398               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1399 mike    1.26  
1400 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1401               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1402               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1403 mike    1.26  
1404 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1405               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1406               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1407               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1408               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1409               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1410 bob     1.20  (grb)
1411 mike    1.26  
1412 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1413               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1414               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1415 mike    1.26  
1416 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1417 mike    1.26  
1418 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1419               modifyClass,
1420 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1421 mike    1.26  
1422 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1423               directory. These
1424               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1425               CIMProviderStub has
1426 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1427 mike    1.26  
1428 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1429 mike    1.26  
1430 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1431               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1432 mike    1.26  
1433               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1434 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1435               
1436               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1437                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1438                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1439                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1440                   (MEB)
1441 mike    1.26  
1442 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1443               
1444 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install

1447               pages.
1448               
1449 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1450 sage    1.31  
1451               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1452               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1453               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1454               variables.
1455 mike    1.32  
1456               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1457                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1458                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1459 kumpf   1.34  
1460               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1461                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1462                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1463                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1464                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1465                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1466                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1467 karl    1.35  
1468               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1469                   tests for stack and queue.

1480 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1481               	is
1482 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1483               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1484 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1485               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1486 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1487               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1533 karl    1.5   
1534 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1535               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1536               
1537 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1538               of dynamic lib loaading.

1544 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1545 karl    1.1   
1546               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1547               qualifiers, methods.
1548               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1549               methods.
1550               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1551               qualifiers and to
1552               remove qualifiers.
1553               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1554               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1555 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1556               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1557               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1558               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1559               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
