   5             Code Freeze in Preperation for V2 Release
   6             From here forward, We are fixing bugs.

   8             
   9 ramnath 1.154 1. (Ramnath Ravindran - HP) 10 June 2002 - Commented out" #define          PEGASUS_HAVE_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION" in Platform_TRU64_ALPHA_DECCXX.h.

  11 karl    1.152 -----------------------------------------------------------------
  12 karl    1.95  Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
  13               TAG: Version_1_09.
  14               
  15               1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
  16               
  17 kumpf   1.96  2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
  18                  class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  19                  CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  20                  a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  21                  internally throughout the system.
  22               
  23                  This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  24                  to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  25                  single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  26                  error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  27                  errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  28                  currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  29                  such as:
  30               
  31                      CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  32                      to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  33                      or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  34                      "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  35               
  36                  The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  37                  information to be eliminated from the messages.
  38 karl    1.97     
  39               3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  40                  after roger fixed timevalue.
  41 kumpf   1.96  
  42 kumpf   1.98  4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  43               
  44 kumpf   1.99  5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  45 kumpf   1.100                       Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
  46 kumpf   1.99  
  47 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 
  48               	build on Tru64.
  49               
  50 kumpf   1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements
  51                  of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.
  52                  The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements
  53                  optional for operations that do not require a return value.  The server
  54                  response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the
  55                  request does not include a return value.
  56               
  57 kumpf   1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and
  58                  Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>
  59                  for the propertyList parameters.  All providers that implement a method
  60                  with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this
  61                  change.  All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.
  62               
  63 kumpf   1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
  64 kumpf   1.104    returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.
  65                  Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
  66 kumpf   1.105 
  67               10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()
  68                   method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition
  69                   from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets
  70                   the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to
  71                   the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in
  72                   Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The
  73                   places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also
  74                   changed to use the constants.
  75 kumpf   1.104 
  76 kumpf   1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to
  77                   report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added
  78                   an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error
  79                   response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to
  80                   process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.
  81                   Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an
  82                   HTTP error.  This functionality required fundamental changes in the
  83                   way CIMClient processes messages.  It can no longer search its queue
  84                   for a message of the expected type.  Instead, is assumes that no
  85                   messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the
  86                   encoder.  In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is
  87                   the response to that request.
  88               
  89 kumpf   1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy
  90                   to allow platform-specific version strings.
  91               
  92 kumpf   1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for
  93                   ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not
  94                   conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 
  95               
  96 kumpf   1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags  _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.
  97               
  98 kumpf   1.108 
  99 kumpf   1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 
 100                   authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 
 101                   platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 
 102                   the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 
 103               
 104 kumpf   1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods
 105                  Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference
 106                  between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return
 107                  the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added
 108                  method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an
 109                  interval.
 110               
 111 kumpf   1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 
 112                  indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample
 113                  DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as
 114                  localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your
 115                  PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:
 116                  logicalname = DisplayConsumer
 117                  This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume
 118                  the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).
 119               
 120 kumpf   1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider
 121                  registration notification to subscription service.
 122               
 123 kumpf   1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for
 124                   CIMClient API users.  All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now
 125                   subclasses of CIMClientException.  The CIMClient methods are defined
 126                   as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions
 127                   thrown to change without changing the method signatures.  It also makes
 128                   it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be
 129                   handled.
 130               
 131                   A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.
 132                   This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM
 133                   operation response decoder to the CIMClient.  Previously, several
 134                   classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder.  New
 135                   CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these
 136                   exceptions.  These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed
 137                   back to the client application.  Examples are unparsable HTTP
 138                   responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,
 139                   message type).
 140               
 141                   The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been
 142                   updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
 143 karl    1.115     
 144 kumpf   1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build.  Includes
 145 karl    1.115     usage and help.
 146                   This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client
 147                   or direct to the repository.
 148                
 149 kumpf   1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
 150 karl    1.115     priorities.
 151 kumpf   1.114 
 152 kumpf   1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
 153 sage    1.116 
 154 kumpf   1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
 155 sage    1.117     for performance statistics.
 156 kumpf   1.118 
 157               24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the
 158                   String class which had a dependency on the TCL license.  Where this
 159                   code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to
 160                   String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace
 161                   in an HTTP extension header.  For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix
 162                   argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader
 163                   will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag".  This behavior more
 164                   closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is
 165                   therefore more correct.
 166 sage    1.117 
 167 kumpf   1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of 
 168                   PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done
 169                   to support component level version tracking.
 170               
 171 sage    1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation
 172               
 173 kumpf   1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes
 174                  to the Managed System OS provider.  Rolled in the Linux support from
 175                  the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and
 176                  Windows OS providers.
 177               
 178 kumpf   1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property
 179                   "unset" functionality.  cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a
 180                   property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both)
 181                   are to be updated.  It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value
 182                   should be unset (reset to default).
 183               
 184 kumpf   1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration
 185                   property owners to remove redundant code.
 186               
 187 kumpf   1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a
 188                   new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the
 189                   obsolete Channel code.  Also add SSL option to wbemexec.
 190               
 191 kumpf   1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the
 192                   CIMMessage subclasses.
 193               
 194 kumpf   1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects
 195                   in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 
 196                   of array values.
 197 karl    1.127     
 198               33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 
 199                   not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed.
 200                   
 201 kumpf   1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class.  Fixed the
 202                   places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the
 203                   Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions
 204                   to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.
 205                   Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked
 206                   the _CString class for internal use only.
 207               
 208 kumpf   1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 
 209                   syslog on the HP-UX platform.
 210               
 211               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 
 212                   CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC.
 213                   Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference
 214                   between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 
 215                   difference between two intervals.
 216               
 217 mary    1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 
 218                   pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 
 219                   platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 
 220                   for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 
 221                   hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 
 222                   is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 
 223                   the correct value.
 224               
 225 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 226                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 227                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 228                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 229                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 230               
 231                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 232                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 233                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 234                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 235                   performance on my system.
 236               
 237                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 238                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 239                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 240                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 241                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 242                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).
 243               
 244 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 245                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 246                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 247                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 248               
 249                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 250                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 251                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 252                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.
 253               
 254 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 255                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 256                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 257                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 258                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 259                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 260               
 261 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 262                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 263                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 264                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 265                   the published client and provider APIs.
 266               
 267 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 268                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 269                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 270               
 271 kumpf   1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in 
 272 kumpf   1.136     CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 
 273                   SSLContext to the client api. 
 274               
 275 kumpf   1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 276                   each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing
 277                   ArrayReps and reference counting.
 278               
 279 kumpf   1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
 280 kumpf   1.138     TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 
 281                   SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 
 282                   removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only
 283                   need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use.
 284               
 285 kumpf   1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve
 286                   method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 
 287                   disallow passwordFilePath="". 
 288               
 289 kumpf   1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
 290 kumpf   1.140     API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port
 291                   number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 
 292                   and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal()
 293                   method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and
 294                   connect to HTTPS port.
 295               
 296 kumpf   1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related
 297                   to rollback failure. 
 298               
 299 sage    1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support
 300                   The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 
 301                   case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a
 302                   factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the
 303                   CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 
 304                   src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/
 305               
 306 sage    1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
 307 kumpf   1.144 
 308               51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 -  Added config properties 
 309                   'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 
 310                   'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' 
 311 kumpf   1.145     to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.
 312 kumpf   1.144 
 313 kumpf   1.145 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 314                   the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was
 315                   accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for
 316                   each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.
 317                   The array template implementation is still available for use within
 318                   the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array
 319                   types used internally.
 320 karl    1.146     
 321               53. KS 28 May 2002 - Added heiarchial subclass search of subclasses to 
 322                   enumerateinstancenames and enumerateinstances.  There is a problem
 323                   however with trashing of the requests messages so there is a
 324                   flag LIMIT_ENUM_TO_ONE_LEVEL in CIMOperationDispatcher.cpp that
 325                   causes it to go through all the motions except to request instances
 326                   only for the current level.
 327               
 328 kumpf   1.147 54. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 28 May 2002 - Replaced getenv("PEGASUS_TRACE")
 329                   with Tracer calls. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigSettingProvider to
 330                   check for user credentials. UserAuthProvider checks whether the user
 331 kumpf   1.148     is a privileged user for all operations. ConfigSettingProvider checks
 332                   whether the user is a privileged user only for write operations.
 333 sage    1.143 
 334 kumpf   1.149 55. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 30 May 2002 -
 335                   Removed the CIMNamedInstance and CIMObjectWithPath classes.  The CIMObject
 336                   and CIMInstance classes now include a setPath (CIMObjectPath) method.  
 337                   These changes will affect Clients and Providers.  A call to the 
 338                   CIMNamedInstance constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMInstance should 
 339                   be replaced with a call to the setPath () method on the CIMInstance, 
 340                   passing the same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMNamedInstance 
 341                   getInstance () method should be replaced with the CIMInstance, and a call 
 342                   to the CIMNamedInstance getInstanceName () method should be replaced with a
 343                   call to the getPath () method on the CIMInstance.  A call to the 
 344                   CIMObjectWithPath constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMObject, should 
 345                   be replaced with a call the setPath () method on the CIMObject, passing the
 346                   same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMObjectWithPath getObject () method 
 347                   should be replaced with the CIMObject, and a call to the CIMObjectWithPath 
 348                   getReference () method should be replaced with a call to the CIMObject 
 349                   getPath () method.
 350               
 351 kumpf   1.151 56. (Jenny Yu - HP) 31 May 2002 - Implemented a cimserver_kill() method 
 352 kumpf   1.150     to kill the CIMServer process if the CIM Server is still running after
 353                   the shutdown timeout has expired during shutdown.  The CIMServer process
 354                   Id is saved in a file after CIMServer starts up.  This file is removed
 355                   after CIMServer terminates normally.  Only added code for the HPUX
 356                   platform.  
 357 kumpf   1.151 
 358               57. (Jenny Yu - HP) 03 Jun 2002 - Removed all cimserver command line options
 359                   except for: -v (version), -h (help), -D (home), -s (shutdown), and
 360                   -install and -remove (for Windows only).  All other options can be set
 361                   using the <configProperty=value> command line syntax.

 383 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 384                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 385                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 386                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 387                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

 397               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 398 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 399                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 400                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 401                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 402                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.

 409 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 410 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 411               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 412               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 413               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.

 424                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 425                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 426                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 427                   for remote clients.
 428 karl    1.66  
 429 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 430                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 431                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 432                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 433                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 434                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 435                   values.
 436               
 437                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 438               
 439                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 440                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 441                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 442                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 443                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 444                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 445               
 446                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 447                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 448                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 449                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 450 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 451                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 452                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 453                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 454                   specified in the method definition.
 455               
 456                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 457               
 458                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 459                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 460                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 461                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 462                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 463                   correct type rather than as a String.
 464               
 465                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 466                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 467                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 468                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 469                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 470                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 471 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 472               
 473                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 474                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 475                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 476               
 477                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 478               
 479                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 480                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 481                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 482                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 483                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 484               
 485                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 486                   clean-up, which I completed.
 487               
 488                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 489               
 490                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 491                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 492 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 493                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 494                   the specified value to that property's type.
 495               
 496                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 497                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 498                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 499                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 500               
 501                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 502                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 503                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 504                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 505                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 506                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 507               
 508 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 509                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 510                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 511                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 512                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 513                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 514                   encoding of parameter values.
 515               
 516                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 517                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 518                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 519                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 520                   have defaulted to String type.

 524 karl    1.72    
 525 kumpf   1.71  15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 526                   username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 527                   method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 528                   and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 529                   the server.

 533                  
 534 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 535                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 536                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 537                   operations.
 538               
 539                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 541               18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 542                   definition of CIMFlavors.
 543 karl    1.76      
 544 kumpf   1.68  
 545 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 546                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 547                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 548                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 549                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 550                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 551                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 552               
 553                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 554                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 555                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 556                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 557                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 558                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 559                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 560                   a single buffer.
 561               
 562                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 563                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 564                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 565                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 566 kumpf   1.75  
 567               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 568                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 569                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 570                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 571               
 572                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 573                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 574                   validated.

 576               21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 577                   qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 578                   Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 579 karl    1.78      
 580 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 581                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 582               
 583                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 584                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 585                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 586                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 587               
 588                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 589               
 590                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 591               
 592                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 593               
 594                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 595               
 596                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 597                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 598                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 599                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 600                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 601 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 602                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 603                   rather than in the constructor.
 604               
 605                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 606                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 607                   included in the Pegasus build.
 608 kumpf   1.79  
 609 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 610                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 611 kumpf   1.75  
 612 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 613                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 614                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 615                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 616                   for that purpose.   
 617               
 618                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 619               
 620                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 621                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 622                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 623                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 624                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 625               
 626                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 627               
 628                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 629                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 630                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 631               
 632                     (ex.)
 633 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 634                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 635               
 636                     or use the following new macro:
 637                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 638                   
 639 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 640 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 641               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 642               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 643               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 644               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 645 ramnath 1.81  
 646               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 647               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 648               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 649               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 650               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 651               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 652               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 653               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 654 ramnath 1.80  
 655 mary    1.82  27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 656               	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 657               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 658               	in the Windows service work thread.

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

 666 kumpf   1.84  
 667               30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 668                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 669                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 670                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 671                   an integer of the specified size.
 672               
 673 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 674                   in XmlReader.cpp.
 675               
 676 kumpf   1.86  32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 677                   Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 678                   releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 679                   the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 680               
 681 karl    1.88  33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 682                   with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and

 687                   
 688 kumpf   1.89  35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 689                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 690                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 691                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 692                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 693                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 694                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 695                   linked into the server.

 697 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 698                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 699                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 700               
 701 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 702                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 703                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 704                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 705                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 706 karl    1.92      
 707               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 708                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 709                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 725               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 726               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 727               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 728               	in the future.

 730 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 731                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 732                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 733                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 734                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 735                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 736               
 737 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 738 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 739                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 740                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 741                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 742                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 743               
 744 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 745 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 746                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 747                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 748                  program.
 749               
 750 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 751                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 752                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 753                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 754                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 755                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 756                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 757                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 758                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 759               
 760                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 761                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 762                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 763               
 764                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 765                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 766                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 767                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 768               
 769                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 770                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 771 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 772                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 773               
 774                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 775                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 776               
 777                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

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

 965               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 966                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 967                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 968                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 969                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 970                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 971                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 972                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 973                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 974               
 975               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 976                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 977                   
 978               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 979               
 980 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 981                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 982                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 983                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 984                   in make files.
 985                  
 986               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 987                   because getting an error in 26
 988               
 989               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 990                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 991                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 992                   tag structure.
 993               
 994                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 995                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 996                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 997               
 998                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 999                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
1000                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
1001 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
1002                   of String type and a key of reference type.
1003               
1004                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
1005                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
1006                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
1007                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
1008                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
1009                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
1010                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
1011                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
1012               
1013                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
1014                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
1015                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
1016                   reference type.
1017               
1018                   In this example:
1019               
1020                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
1021               
1022 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
1023                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
1024                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
1025                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
1026                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
1027               
1028                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
1029                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
1030                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
1031                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
1032                   correctly.
1033               
1034                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
1035                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
1036               
1037                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
1038                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
1039                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
1040                   CIMOM version.
1041               
1042                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
1043 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
1044                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
1045                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
1046                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
1047                   definition to determine the key property types.
1048               
1049               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1050                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1051                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1052                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1053               
1054               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1055                   (instanceName).
1056               
1057               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1058                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1059                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1060                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1061               
1062               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1063                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1064 mike    1.51  
1065               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1066                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1067                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1068                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1069                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1070                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1071                   nsk platform links. 
1072               
1073               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1074                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1075                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1076                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1077                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1078                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1079                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1080               
1081                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1082                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1083                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1084                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1085 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1086                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1087                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1088               
1089               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1090                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1091                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1092                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1093               
1094               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1095                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1096                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1097                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1098                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1099               
1100               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1101                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1102                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1103                   be updated to use this class.
1104               
1105               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1106 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1107                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1108                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1109                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1110               
1111               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1112                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1113                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1114                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1115                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1116                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1117               
1118               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1119               
1120                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1121                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1122                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1123                         CIMNamedInstance
1124                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1125                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1126                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1127 mike    1.51  
1128                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1129               
1130                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1131                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1132                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1133                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1134                   functionality.
1135               
1136                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1137               
1138                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1139                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1140                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1141                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1142                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1143                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1144                         the entire instance.
1145               
1146                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1147                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1148 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1149               
1150                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1151                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1152                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1153               
1154                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1155                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1156               
1157               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1158                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1159                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1160                   the DMTF specification.
1161               
1162                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1163                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1164                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1165                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1166               
1167                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1168               
1169 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1170                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1171                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1172                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1173                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1174                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1175                         the entire instance.
1176               
1177                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1178                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1179                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1180                         be used to update the instance.
1181               
1182                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1183                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1184                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1185               
1186                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1187                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1188                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1189               
1190 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1191                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1192                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1193                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1194                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1195               
1196               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1197                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1198                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1199               
1200                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1201                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1202                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1203                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1204                   following command before starting cimserver:
1205               
1206                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1207               
1208                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1209                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1210                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1211 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1212                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1213                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1214                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1215               
1216               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1217                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1218                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1219               
1220               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1221                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1222                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1223                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1224                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1225               
1226                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1227                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1228                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1229                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1230                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1231                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1232 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1233               
1234               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1235                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1236               
1237                   Authentication and User Management:
1238                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1239                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1240                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1241                   generated password file. 
1242               
1243                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1244                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1245                   
1246                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1247                   management and authorization functionality.   
1248               
1249               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1250                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1251               
1252               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1253 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1254                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1255               
1256               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1257                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1258                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1259                 
1260               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1261                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1262                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1263                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1264                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1265                   or change in provider registration.  
1266               
1267               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1268                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1269                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1270                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1271               
1272               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1273                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1274 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1275                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1276                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1277                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1278                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1279                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1280                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1281                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1282                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1283                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1284                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1285 mike    1.50  
1286 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1287                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1288               
1289               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1333 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1334                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1335                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1336               
1337               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1338                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1339                  that
1340                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1341                  password.

1343                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1344                  build.
1345                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1346                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1372               
1373 mike    1.42  4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages.
1374               
1375               5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps
1376                  ids to queue pointers).
1377               
1378 mike    1.43  6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler
1379                  and Dispatcher.
1380               
1381 karl    1.48  7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher
1382               and
1383                  CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
1384 chip    1.44     ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

1399 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1400 karl    1.16  
1401               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1402               for NT and Linux platforms.
1403 mike    1.26  
1404 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1405               5988.
1406               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1407               the DMTF.
1408 mike    1.26  
1409 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1410               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1411               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1412               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1413 mike    1.26  
1414 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1415               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1416               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1417 mike    1.26  
1418 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1419               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1420               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1421               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1422               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1423               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1424 bob     1.20  (grb)
1425 mike    1.26  
1426 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1427               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1428               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1429 mike    1.26  
1430 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1431 mike    1.26  
1432 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1433               modifyClass,
1434 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1435 mike    1.26  
1436 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1437               directory. These
1438               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1439               CIMProviderStub has
1440 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1441 mike    1.26  
1442 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1443 mike    1.26  
1444 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1445               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1446 mike    1.26  
1447               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1448 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1449               
1450               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1451                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1452                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1453                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1454                   (MEB)
1455 mike    1.26  
1456 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1457               
1458 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1459               AssociationName
1460 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1461               pages.
1462               
1463 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1464 sage    1.31  
1465               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1466               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1467               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1468               variables.
1469 mike    1.32  
1470               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1471                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1472                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1473 kumpf   1.34  
1474               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1475                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1476                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1477                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1478                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1479                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1480                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1481 karl    1.35  
1482               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1483                   tests for stack and queue.

1494 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1495               	is
1496 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1497               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1498 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1499               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1500 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1501               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1547 karl    1.5   
1548 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1549               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1550               
1551 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1552               of dynamic lib loaading.

1558 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1559 karl    1.1   
1560               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1561               qualifiers, methods.
1562               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1563               methods.
1564               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1565               qualifiers and to
1566               remove qualifiers.
1567               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1568               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1569 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1570               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1571               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1572               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1573               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
