  10             1. 10 June 2002 (KS) - Add new test function to use command line for
  11                many commands.  The command is CLI. Right now it has no documentation.
  12                
  13             2. (Ramnath Ravindran - HP) 10 June 2002 - Commented out" #define
  14                 PEGASUS_HAVE_TEMPLATE_SPECIALIZATION" in Platform_TRU64_ALPHA_DECCXX.h.
  15             
  16 kumpf 1.156 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 17 July 2002 -
  17             Modified test source and Makefiles to make it possible to run the test suite 
  18             specifying a location in which all temporary files (e.g. output files, 
  19             repository files, etc.) are created.  This ability can be useful if you would
  20             like, for example, on a test system, to nfs-mount the pegasus directory 
  21             without write access, and run the test suite.
  22             
  23             The new functionality uses the PEGASUS_TMP environment variable.  The TMP_DIR
  24             variable is set from the PEGASUS_TMP environment variable, and used in the
  25             Makefiles.  If PEGASUS_TMP is not set, TMP_DIR defaults to ".", and the
  26             behavior is the same as previously (creates files in the current directory).
  27             Test programs use the value of the PEGASUS_TMP environment variable (or "." if 
  28             not set) to construct the path of a file or directory to be created.
  29             
  30             When new tests are added that need to create files, directories, repository,
  31             etc., please use the TMP_DIR variable in the Makefile, and the value of the
  32             PEGASUS_TMP environment variable in the test program source file.  For examples,
  33             see the current test programs (e.g. pegasus/src/Pegasus/Repository/tests/*).
  34             
  35 kumpf 1.157 4. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 July 2002 - Changes from the Pegasus API review:
  36             
  37                - Updated the CIMName class to a data type class
  38                - Added CIMNamespaceName as a data type class
  39                - Updated the client, provider, and common (CIM*) classes to use CIMName
  40                  and CIMNamespaceName in place of String when handing CIM names (class,
  41                  property, qualifier, method, and parameter names)
  42                - Changed the CIMClass constructor to take a CIMName for the class name
  43                  instead of a CIMObjectPath
  44                - Changed the CIMName::equal method to be non-static
  45             
  46 ramnath 1.159 5. (Ramnath Ravindran - HP) 15 August 2002 - Added the Tru64 platform to an existing        ifdef in suballoc.cpp to prevent compilation errors.
  47 ramnath 1.154 
  48 karl    1.152 -----------------------------------------------------------------
  49 karl    1.95  Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
  50               TAG: Version_1_09.
  51               
  52               1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
  53               
  54 kumpf   1.96  2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
  55                  class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  56                  CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  57                  a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  58                  internally throughout the system.
  59               
  60                  This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  61                  to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  62                  single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  63                  error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  64                  errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  65                  currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  66                  such as:
  67               
  68                      CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  69                      to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  70                      or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  71                      "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  72               
  73                  The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  74                  information to be eliminated from the messages.
  75 karl    1.97     
  76               3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  77                  after roger fixed timevalue.
  78 kumpf   1.96  
  79 kumpf   1.98  4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  80               
  81 kumpf   1.99  5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  82 kumpf   1.100                       Update master result file of wbemexec CLI tests.
  83 kumpf   1.99  
  84 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 
  85               	build on Tru64.
  86               
  87 kumpf   1.102 7. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Apr 2002 - The RETURNVALUE and IRETURNVALUE elements
  88                  of the XML encoding of operation responses had been treated as mandatory.
  89                  The client response decoder has been updated to make those elements
  90                  optional for operations that do not require a return value.  The server
  91                  response encoder has been updated not to include those elements when the
  92                  request does not include a return value.
  93               
  94 kumpf   1.103 8. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 9 Apr 2002 - Updated the Instance, Association, and
  95                  Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String>
  96                  for the propertyList parameters.  All providers that implement a method
  97                  with a propertyList parameter must be modified in accordance with this
  98                  change.  All providers linked into the Pegasus build have been updated.
  99               
 100 kumpf   1.105 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTP error message to be
 101 kumpf   1.104    returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.
 102                  Added a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.
 103 kumpf   1.105 
 104               10. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 11 Apr 2002 - Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName()
 105                   method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition
 106                   from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets
 107                   the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to
 108                   the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in
 109                   Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The
 110                   places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also
 111                   changed to use the constants.
 112 kumpf   1.104 
 113 kumpf   1.106 11. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Defined an HTTPError exception to
 114                   report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added
 115                   an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error
 116                   response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to
 117                   process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.
 118                   Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an
 119                   HTTP error.  This functionality required fundamental changes in the
 120                   way CIMClient processes messages.  It can no longer search its queue
 121                   for a message of the expected type.  Instead, is assumes that no
 122                   messages should be on its queue unless it has sent a request to the
 123                   encoder.  In that case, it assumes that any message on its queue is
 124                   the response to that request.
 125               
 126 kumpf   1.107 12. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 12 Apr 2002 - Extended versioning strategy
 127                   to allow platform-specific version strings.
 128               
 129 kumpf   1.108 13. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Renamed shared library for
 130                   ManagedSystem/OperatingSystem provider so that it would not
 131                   conflict with library name of generic/OperatingSystem provider. 
 132               
 133 kumpf   1.109 14. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 14 Apr 2002 - Added compile flags  _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD flags for platform_HPUX_PARISC_ACC.
 134               
 135 kumpf   1.108 
 136 kumpf   1.110 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Feb 2002 - HP-Nag: Added PAM based user 
 137                   authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix 
 138                   platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting 
 139                   the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION." 
 140               
 141 kumpf   1.111 16. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented static methods
 142                  Uint64 getDifference(CIMDateTime, CIMDateTime), to get the difference
 143                  between two CIMDateTimes and CIMDateTime getCurrentDateTime(), to return
 144                  the current date time as CIMDateTime in the CIMDateTime class. Also added
 145                  method Boolean isInterval(), to check if the CIMDateTime object is an
 146                  interval.
 147               
 148 kumpf   1.112 17. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Improved Consumer interface with 
 149                  indications. Now indications can be displayed using sample
 150                  DisplayConsumer. To test, create Handler with destination as
 151                  localhost:5988/logicalname. Create a file consumer_list.dat in your
 152                  PEGASUS_HOME directory and then ass entry as follows:
 153                  logicalname = DisplayConsumer
 154                  This will help ConsumerTable to load the DisplayConsumer to consume
 155                  the indication passed through ExportServer (CIMExportRequestDispathcer).
 156               
 157 kumpf   1.113 18. (Yi Zhou - HP) 15 Apr 2002 - Implemented sending message of provider
 158                  registration notification to subscription service.
 159               
 160 kumpf   1.114 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 Apr 2002 - Defined an exception hierarchy for
 161                   CIMClient API users.  All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now
 162                   subclasses of CIMClientException.  The CIMClient methods are defined
 163                   as throwing CIMClientException, which will allow the actual exceptions
 164                   thrown to change without changing the method signatures.  It also makes
 165                   it more clear to the client application which exceptions need to be
 166                   handled.
 167               
 168                   A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.
 169                   This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM
 170                   operation response decoder to the CIMClient.  Previously, several
 171                   classes of exceptions were being dropped in the decoder.  New
 172                   CIMClientException subclasses have been defined to model these
 173                   exceptions.  These changes allow decoding exceptions to be passed
 174                   back to the client application.  Examples are unparsable HTTP
 175                   responses, malformed XML, and mismatched CIM responses (message ID,
 176                   message type).
 177               
 178                   The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been
 179                   updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.
 180 karl    1.115     
 181 kumpf   1.118 20. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 -Incorporated tomof client into the build.  Includes
 182 karl    1.115     usage and help.
 183                   This program outputs mof or xml from repository either as a client
 184                   or direct to the repository.
 185                
 186 kumpf   1.118 21. (KS) 18 Apr 2002 - Changed all FIXME, etc. in compiler to ATTN with
 187 karl    1.115     priorities.
 188 kumpf   1.114 
 189 kumpf   1.118 22. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - Associator provider handling
 190 sage    1.116 
 191 kumpf   1.118 23. (MM) 18 Apr 2002 - HiRes pegasus_gettimeofday() for Windows needed
 192 sage    1.117     for performance statistics.
 193 kumpf   1.118 
 194               24. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Apr 2002 - Removed the "match" code in the
 195                   String class which had a dependency on the TCL license.  Where this
 196                   code was being used to match HTTP headers, I replaced the call to
 197                   String::matchNoCase() with specific logic to check for the namespace
 198                   in an HTTP extension header.  For example, if the allowNamespacePrefix
 199                   argument is true and the search tag is "Tag", HTTPMessage::lookupHeader
 200                   will match "Tag" and "45-Tag", but not "abcTag".  This behavior more
 201                   closely models the intent of the String match in this case and is
 202                   therefore more correct.
 203 sage    1.117 
 204 kumpf   1.119 25. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 20 Apr 2002 - Added an instance of 
 205                   PegasusVersion.h to each product component. This was done
 206                   to support component level version tracking.
 207               
 208 sage    1.120 26. (MM) 22 Apr 2002 - Performance Measurement Implementation
 209               
 210 kumpf   1.121 27. (Susan Campbell - HP) 22 Apr 2002 - Various enhancements and bug fixes
 211                  to the Managed System OS provider.  Rolled in the Linux support from
 212                  the Linux-specific OS provider and added properties to the HP-UX and
 213                  Windows OS providers.
 214               
 215 kumpf   1.122 28. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Overhauled the configuration property
 216                   "unset" functionality.  cimconfig now uses modifyInstance with a
 217                   property list to specify whether the current or planned value (or both)
 218                   are to be updated.  It uses a "null" value to indicate that the value
 219                   should be unset (reset to default).
 220               
 221 kumpf   1.123 29. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 24 Apr 2002 - Restructured the configuration
 222                   property owners to remove redundant code.
 223               
 224 kumpf   1.124 30. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Reimplement wbemexec to use a
 225                   new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the
 226                   obsolete Channel code.  Also add SSL option to wbemexec.
 227               
 228 kumpf   1.125 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Apr 2002 - Added copy constructors to the
 229                   CIMMessage subclasses.
 230               
 231 kumpf   1.126 32. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 27 Apr 2002 - Fixed several defects
 232                   in MOF compiler associated with the handling the initialization 
 233                   of array values.
 234 karl    1.127     
 235               33. (KS) 30 April 2002 - Added Namespace Control Provider. Note that it is 
 236                   not completely tested today and only enumeratenames is guaranteed.
 237                   
 238 kumpf   1.128 34. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 6 May 2002 - Reworked the String class.  Fixed the
 239                   places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the
 240                   Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions
 241                   to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.
 242                   Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked
 243                   the _CString class for internal use only.
 244               
 245 kumpf   1.129 35. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Updated the Logger to log to 
 246                   syslog on the HP-UX platform.
 247               
 248               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 9 May 2002 - Fixed the method 
 249                   CIMDateTime::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC.
 250                   Updated the CIMDateTime::getDifference() method to compute the difference
 251                   between two local times. Also updated the getDifference to compute the 
 252                   difference between two intervals.
 253               
 254 mary    1.130 37. (Mary Hinton) 10 May 2002 - Fixed the problem in the new version of 
 255                   pegasus_gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv)function for the Windows 
 256                   platform. The new implementation was implemented for higher resolution 
 257                   for performance statistics. However, it was causing an intermittent 
 258                   hang in the ThreadPool test on the Windows platform.When (long int) 
 259                   is changed to (__int64), the tv_usec variable of timeval struct has 
 260                   the correct value.
 261               
 262 kumpf   1.131 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - To eliminate the possibility of
 263                   collisions (and subsequent corruption) when different threads
 264                   concurrently update the ArrayRep reference count, I added a Mutex
 265                   to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc()
 266                   and dec() methods that manage the reference count.
 267               
 268                   After adding the Mutex, the "mysterious" memory problems seemed to clear
 269                   up.  This seems like a very good thing.  However, note that the addition
 270                   of the Mutex adversely affects performance (nearly 2:1).  I tried using
 271                   an AtomicInt for the reference count, but that seemed to yield even worse
 272                   performance on my system.
 273               
 274                   Anyone should feel free to optimize the performance of the locking in
 275                   the ArrayRep structure.  Since I believe this locking is required for
 276                   proper operation, I've added the Mutex for all platforms.  Note that I
 277                   had to comment out the assert statements in internal_dq.h to avoid a
 278                   circular header file dependency (Array.h->IPC.h->internal_dq.h->
 279                   Exception.h->String.h->Array.h).
 280               
 281 kumpf   1.132 39. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 13 May 2002 - Removed operator int() methods from
 282                   all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult
 283                   to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods
 284                   in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).
 285               
 286                   In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that
 287                   loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast
 288                   at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of
 289                   the int cast operator with isNull() methods.
 290               
 291 kumpf   1.133 40. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 May 2002 - HP-Nag: Added SSL Certificate verification
 292                   code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate
 293                   information to the client's call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and
 294                   the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass a call back function.
 295                   Fixed few display messages in CIMConfigCommand.cpp to show meaningfule
 296                   messages when CIM server is not running.
 297               
 298 kumpf   1.134 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to
 299                   XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to
 300                   XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter
 301                   instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of
 302                   the published client and provider APIs.
 303               
 304 kumpf   1.135 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 May 2002 - Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to
 305                   a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved
 306                   CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().
 307               
 308 kumpf   1.144 43. (Nag Boranna - HP) 16 May 2002 - Implemented SSL handling in 
 309 kumpf   1.136     CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass 
 310                   SSLContext to the client api. 
 311               
 312 kumpf   1.137 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 16 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 313                   each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing
 314                   ArrayReps and reference counting.
 315               
 316 kumpf   1.144 45. (Nag Boranna - HP) 17 May 2002 - Moved SSLContext class out of
 317 kumpf   1.138     TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide members from the users of 
 318                   SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and 
 319                   removed the CertificateInfo files, so that the client SDK can only
 320                   need to include SSLContext.h for the client apps to use.
 321               
 322 kumpf   1.139 46. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 17 May 2002 - Fixed the CIMInstanceRep::resolve
 323                   method to return the correct class origin. Fixed SecurityPropertyOwner to 
 324                   disallow passwordFilePath="". 
 325               
 326 kumpf   1.144 47. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 May 2002 - Modified CIM Server and Client
 327 kumpf   1.140     API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port
 328                   number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured 
 329                   and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal()
 330                   method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and
 331                   connect to HTTPS port.
 332               
 333 kumpf   1.141 48. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 May 2002: Fixed a problem in repository related
 334                   to rollback failure. 
 335               
 336 sage    1.142 49. (MM) 23 May 2002 - Added ProviderAdapter support
 337                   The ProviderAdapterManager loads an additional Adapter library in 
 338                   case of a non-default interfaceName. This Adapter library has to offer a
 339                   factory callback PegasusCreateProviderAdapter() in analogy to the
 340                   CIMBaseProvider - an example, the AdapterSkeleton, can be found in 
 341                   src/Providers/generic/CMPIAdapter/
 342               
 343 sage    1.143 50. (MM) 23 May 2002 - New AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlocks.
 344 kumpf   1.144 
 345               51. (Nag Boranna - HP) 23 May 2002 -  Added config properties 
 346                   'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection'. Renamed 
 347                   'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' 
 348 kumpf   1.145     to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.
 349 kumpf   1.144 
 350 kumpf   1.145 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 May 2002 - Reworked the Array template so that
 351                   the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was
 352                   accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for
 353                   each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.
 354                   The array template implementation is still available for use within
 355                   the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array
 356                   types used internally.
 357 karl    1.146     
 358               53. KS 28 May 2002 - Added heiarchial subclass search of subclasses to 
 359                   enumerateinstancenames and enumerateinstances.  There is a problem
 360                   however with trashing of the requests messages so there is a
 361                   flag LIMIT_ENUM_TO_ONE_LEVEL in CIMOperationDispatcher.cpp that
 362                   causes it to go through all the motions except to request instances
 363                   only for the current level.
 364               
 365 kumpf   1.147 54. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 28 May 2002 - Replaced getenv("PEGASUS_TRACE")
 366                   with Tracer calls. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigSettingProvider to
 367                   check for user credentials. UserAuthProvider checks whether the user
 368 kumpf   1.148     is a privileged user for all operations. ConfigSettingProvider checks
 369                   whether the user is a privileged user only for write operations.
 370 sage    1.143 
 371 kumpf   1.149 55. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 30 May 2002 -
 372                   Removed the CIMNamedInstance and CIMObjectWithPath classes.  The CIMObject
 373                   and CIMInstance classes now include a setPath (CIMObjectPath) method.  
 374                   These changes will affect Clients and Providers.  A call to the 
 375                   CIMNamedInstance constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMInstance should 
 376                   be replaced with a call to the setPath () method on the CIMInstance, 
 377                   passing the same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMNamedInstance 
 378                   getInstance () method should be replaced with the CIMInstance, and a call 
 379                   to the CIMNamedInstance getInstanceName () method should be replaced with a
 380                   call to the getPath () method on the CIMInstance.  A call to the 
 381                   CIMObjectWithPath constructor with a CIMObjectPath and a CIMObject, should 
 382                   be replaced with a call the setPath () method on the CIMObject, passing the
 383                   same CIMObjectPath.  A call to the CIMObjectWithPath getObject () method 
 384                   should be replaced with the CIMObject, and a call to the CIMObjectWithPath 
 385                   getReference () method should be replaced with a call to the CIMObject 
 386                   getPath () method.
 387               
 388 kumpf   1.151 56. (Jenny Yu - HP) 31 May 2002 - Implemented a cimserver_kill() method 
 389 kumpf   1.150     to kill the CIMServer process if the CIM Server is still running after
 390                   the shutdown timeout has expired during shutdown.  The CIMServer process
 391                   Id is saved in a file after CIMServer starts up.  This file is removed
 392                   after CIMServer terminates normally.  Only added code for the HPUX
 393                   platform.  
 394 kumpf   1.151 
 395               57. (Jenny Yu - HP) 03 Jun 2002 - Removed all cimserver command line options
 396                   except for: -v (version), -h (help), -D (home), -s (shutdown), and
 397                   -install and -remove (for Windows only).  All other options can be set
 398                   using the <configProperty=value> command line syntax.

 420 kumpf   1.67  3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
 421                   class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
 422                   location, Provider location and Consumer location.
 423                   The default location for these properties continue to be the same
 424                   as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
 425                   Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
 426                   return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

 434               4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
 435 karl    1.62     This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
 436                  reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
 437                  also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
 438                  There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
 439                  the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
 440 karl    1.63     
 441 kumpf   1.67  5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
 442 karl    1.62  
 443 kumpf   1.67  6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.

 445               
 446 kumpf   1.67  7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
 447 kumpf   1.65  loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
 448               method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
 449               configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
 450               modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
 451               
 452 kumpf   1.67  8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in

 461                   checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 462                   Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 463                   This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 464                   for remote clients.
 465 karl    1.66  
 466 kumpf   1.68  12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 467                   method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 468                   of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 469                   allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 470                   having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 471                   the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 472                   values.
 473               
 474                   PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 475               
 476                   Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 477                   parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 478                   regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 479                   was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 480                   parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 481                   application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 482               
 483                   However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 484                   API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 485                   processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 486                   and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 487 kumpf   1.68      The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 488                   XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 489                   will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 490                   specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 491                   specified in the method definition.
 492               
 493                   CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 494               
 495                   Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 496                   returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 497                   attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 498                   sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 499                   String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 500                   correct type rather than as a String.
 501               
 502                   Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 503                   PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 504                   CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 505                   String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 506                   PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 507                   values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 508 kumpf   1.68      because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 509               
 510                   This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 511                   Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 512                   implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 513               
 514                   SIDE EFFECTS:
 515               
 516                   In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 517                   that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 518                   CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 519                   parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 520                   added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 521               
 522                   I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 523                   clean-up, which I completed.
 524               
 525                   SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 526               
 527                   A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 528                   "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 529 kumpf   1.68      (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 530                   relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 531                   the specified value to that property's type.
 532               
 533                   The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 534                   inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 535                   extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 536                   ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 537               
 538                   The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 539                   information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 540                   always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 541                   against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 542                   to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 543                   a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 544               
 545 kumpf   1.69  13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 546                   Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 547                   class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 548                   This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 549                   and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 550                   The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 551                   encoding of parameter values.
 552               
 553                   An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 554                   behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 555                   method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 556                   InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 557                   have defaulted to String type.

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

 571 kumpf   1.73  17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 572                   to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 573                   indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 574                   operations.
 575               
 576                   Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.

 580 karl    1.76      
 581 kumpf   1.68  
 582 kumpf   1.75  19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 583                   eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 584                   nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 585                   each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 586                   are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 587                   level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 588                   "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 589               
 590                   The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 591                   payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 592                   HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 593                   constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 594                   remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 595                   changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 596                   would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 597                   a single buffer.
 598               
 599                   Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 600                   formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 601                   error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 602                   various encoders and decoders, etc.
 603 kumpf   1.75  
 604               20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 605                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 606                   that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 607                   with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 608               
 609                   Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 610                   CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 611                   validated.

 616 karl    1.78      
 617 kumpf   1.77  22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 618                   Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 619               
 620                       Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 621                       HTTPConnector* connector;
 622                       connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 623                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 624               
 625                       CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 626               
 627                   With this change, the client application now looks like:
 628               
 629                       Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 630               
 631                       CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 632               
 633                   The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 634                   constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 635                   connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 636                   context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 637                   connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 638 kumpf   1.77      without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 639                   class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 640                   rather than in the constructor.
 641               
 642                   NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 643                   change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 644                   included in the Pegasus build.
 645 kumpf   1.79  
 646 karl    1.78  23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 647                   of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 648 kumpf   1.75  
 649 kumpf   1.79  24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 650                   include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 651                   However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 652                   CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 653                   for that purpose.   
 654               
 655                   A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 656               
 657                   - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 658                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 659                     as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 660                     trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 661                     line number of the CIMException originator.
 662               
 663                     Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 664               
 665                   - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 666                     A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 667                     input and writes the String to the trace file.
 668               
 669                     (ex.)
 670 kumpf   1.79        You can issue the following method call:
 671                        Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 672               
 673                     or use the following new macro:
 674                        PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");

 676 ramnath 1.81  25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 677 ramnath 1.80  	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 678               	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 679               	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 680               	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 681               	operator to be "OR"ed.
 682 ramnath 1.81  
 683               26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 684               	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 685               	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 686               	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 687               	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 688               	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 689               	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 690               	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.

 694               	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly

 705                   Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 706                   range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 707                   exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 708                   an integer of the specified size.
 709               
 710 kumpf   1.85  31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers

 726                   request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 727                   added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 728                   ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 729                   ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 730                   providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 731                   Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 732                   linked into the server.
 733 karl    1.88  
 734 kumpf   1.90  36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 735                   the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 736                   from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 737               
 738 kumpf   1.91  37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 739                   ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 740                   provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 741                   ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 742                   Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 743 karl    1.92      
 744               38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 745                   extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 746                   use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.

 749 karl    1.59  -------------------------------------------------------------------
 750 karl    1.52  Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 751               
 752               1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 753                      in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 754                      may temporarily be in side branches.
 755                      Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 756 karl    1.53         
 757               2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 758               	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 759               	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 760               	which is the current file based repository.
 761               	
 762               	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 763               	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 764               	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 765               	in the future.
 766 karl    1.52  
 767 kumpf   1.54  3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 768                  to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 769                  present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 770                  exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 771                  intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 772                  CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 773               
 774 kumpf   1.57  4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 775 kumpf   1.55     and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 776                  queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 777                  CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 778                  Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 779                  it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 780               
 781 kumpf   1.57  5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 782 mary    1.56     runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 783                  forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 784                  service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 785                  program.
 786               
 787 kumpf   1.58  6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 788                   CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 789                   in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 790                   CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 791                   CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 792                   CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 793                   CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 794                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 795                   CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 796               
 797                   This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 798                   CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 799                   IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 800               
 801                   IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 802                   when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 803                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 804                   CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 805               
 806                   I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 807                   and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 808 kumpf   1.58      old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 809                   plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 810               
 811                   There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 812                   Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 813               
 814                   Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 822               Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 823               
 824 mike    1.50  1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 825                  PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 826               
 827               2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 828 mike    1.51  =======
 829               1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 830               	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 831               	
 832               2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 833               	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 834               	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 835               	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 836               	should not affect any current work.
 837               3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 838               	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 839               	loads the 2.5 schema.
 840               	
 841               4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 842                       on XML output.
 843                       
 844               5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 845               in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 846               RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 847               declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 848               "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 849 mike    1.51  
 850               6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 851               dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 852               cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 853               and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 854               were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 855               provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 856               provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 857               to show user friendly error/status messages.
 858                       
 859               7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 860               (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 861               Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 862               generating debug output.
 863               
 864               8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 865               xml when it generates xml output.
 866               
 867               9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 868               a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 869               repository implementation.
 870 mike    1.51  
 871               10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 872               
 873               11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 874               
 875               12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 876               
 877               13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 878               
 879               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.
 880               
 881               15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 882                   CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 883               
 884               16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 885               
 886               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.
 887               
 888               18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 889               
 890               19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 891 mike    1.51      interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 892                   a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 893               
 894               20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 895                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 896                   input and output can be written in a trace file.
 897               
 898               21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 899                   Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 900                   deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 901               
 902               22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 903                   ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 904                   consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 905                   indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 906                   implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 907                   RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 908                   are modified to implement above messages. 
 909               
 910                   XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 911                   operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 912 mike    1.51      instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 913                   indication to consumer. This program needs
 914                   src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 915                   and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 916                   in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 917                   program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 918                   modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 919                   below:
 920               
 921                   //====================================================================
 922                   //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 923                   //====================================================================
 924                   [Description (
 925                     "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 926                     "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 927                     "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 928               
 929               23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 930                   ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 931                   a provider library.
 932               
 933 mike    1.51  24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 934                   interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 935                   type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 936                   information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 937                   to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 938                   parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 939                   call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 940                   travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 941                   CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 942                   later). 
 943               
 944                   Also added are two test programs: 
 945               	
 946                   src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 947                       CIMParamValue class.
 948               	
 949                   src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 950                       InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 951                       implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 952                       and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 953                       CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 954 mike    1.51          which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 955               
 956               25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 957                   authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 958                   and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 959                   module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 960                   interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 961                   and to verify the authentication.
 962               
 963                   A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 964                   This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 965                   yet linked into the build.
 966               
 967               26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 968                   Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 969                   before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 970                   request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 971                   New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 972                   appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 973                   _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 974               
 975 mike    1.51  27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 976                   fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 977                   providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 978                   construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 979                   CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 980                   ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 981                   provider file path name.
 982               
 983               28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 984                   Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 985                   definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 986                   structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 987                   Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 988                   agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 989                   Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 990                   implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 991               
 992               29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 993                   be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 994                   property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 995                   plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 996 mike    1.51  
 997               30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 998                   to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 999                   string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
1000                   Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
1001               
1002               31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
1003                   NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
1004                   were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
1005                   library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
1006                   program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
1007                   all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
1008                   only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
1009                   library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
1010                   File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
1011               
1012               32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
1013                   commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
1014                   
1015               33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
1016               
1017 mike    1.51  34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
1018                   pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
1019                   the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
1020                   leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
1021                   in make files.
1022                  
1023               35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
1024                   because getting an error in 26
1025               
1026               35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
1027                   whose types are references.  These reference values must be
1028                   treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
1029                   tag structure.
1030               
1031                   Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
1032                   For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
1033                   type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
1034               
1035                   I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
1036                   CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
1037                   XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
1038 mike    1.51      that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
1039                   of String type and a key of reference type.
1040               
1041                   I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
1042                   allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
1043                   reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
1044                   key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
1045                   would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
1046                   the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
1047                   key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
1048                   transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
1049               
1050                   The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
1051                   for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
1052                   the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
1053                   reference type.
1054               
1055                   In this example:
1056               
1057                       MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
1058               
1059 mike    1.51      Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
1060                   the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
1061                   is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
1062                   recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
1063                   which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
1064               
1065                   The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
1066                   KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
1067                   CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
1068                   be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
1069                   correctly.
1070               
1071                   The files that have been modified to make this change are
1072                   CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
1073               
1074                   A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
1075                   repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
1076                   need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
1077                   CIMOM version.
1078               
1079                   Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
1080 mike    1.51      names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
1081                   instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
1082                   therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
1083                   to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
1084                   definition to determine the key property types.
1085               
1086               36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
1087                   in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
1088                   init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
1089                   cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
1090               
1091               37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
1092                   (instanceName).
1093               
1094               38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
1095                   GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
1096                   Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
1097                   relevant intrinsic methods.
1098               
1099               39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
1100                   ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
1101 mike    1.51  
1102               40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
1103                   files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
1104                   TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
1105                   IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
1106                   SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
1107                   (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
1108                   nsk platform links. 
1109               
1110               41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
1111                   toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
1112                   returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
1113                   replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
1114                   would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
1115                   String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
1116                   CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
1117               
1118                   This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
1119                   repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
1120                   CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
1121                   CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
1122 mike    1.51      without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
1123                   be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
1124                   in that same form, without special character encoding.
1125               
1126               42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
1127                   the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
1128                   often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
1129                   Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
1130               
1131               43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
1132                   localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
1133                   to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
1134                   CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
1135                   Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
1136               
1137               44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
1138                   to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
1139                   from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
1140                   be updated to use this class.
1141               
1142               45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
1143 mike    1.51      source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
1144                   of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
1145                   functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
1146                   String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
1147               
1148               46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
1149                   the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
1150                   the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
1151                   Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
1152                   responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
1153                   supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
1154               
1155               47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
1156               
1157                     - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
1158                         to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
1159                     - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
1160                         CIMNamedInstance
1161                     - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
1162                     - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
1163                         CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
1164 mike    1.51  
1165                   Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
1166               
1167                   These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
1168                   API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
1169                   differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
1170                   However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
1171                   functionality.
1172               
1173                   When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
1174               
1175                     - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1176                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1177                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1178                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1179                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1180                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1181                         the entire instance.
1182               
1183                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1184                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1185 mike    1.51            these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1186               
1187                     - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
1188                         PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
1189                         providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
1190               
1191                   Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
1192                   ModifyInstance correctly.
1193               
1194               48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
1195                   provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
1196                   ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
1197                   the DMTF specification.
1198               
1199                   The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
1200                   plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
1201                   continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
1202                   to take advantage of the features that have been added.
1203               
1204                   The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
1205               
1206 mike    1.51        - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
1207                         they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
1208                         PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
1209                         list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
1210                         issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
1211                         properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
1212                         the entire instance.
1213               
1214                     - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
1215                         which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
1216                         false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
1217                         be used to update the instance.
1218               
1219                     - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
1220                         instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
1221                         these instance names, as the standard dictates.
1222               
1223                   The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
1224                   However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
1225                   a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
1226               
1227 mike    1.51  49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
1228                   files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
1229                   the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
1230                   platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
1231                   without the standard (std) namespace.
1232               
1233               50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
1234                   properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
1235                   repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
1236               
1237                   Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
1238                   default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
1239                   setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
1240                   disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
1241                   following command before starting cimserver:
1242               
1243                       cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
1244               
1245                   The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
1246                   provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
1247                   provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
1248 mike    1.51      instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
1249                   to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
1250                   repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
1251                   'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
1252               
1253               51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
1254                   pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
1255                   service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
1256               
1257               52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
1258                   the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
1259                   PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
1260                   so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
1261                   supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
1262               
1263                   Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
1264                   Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
1265                   ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
1266                   written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
1267                   ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
1268                   operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
1269 mike    1.51      work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
1270               
1271               53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
1272                   Security components for authentication and authorization. 
1273               
1274                   Authentication and User Management:
1275                   cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
1276                   and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
1277                   in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
1278                   generated password file. 
1279               
1280                   cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
1281                   to add/remove/list user authorizations.
1282                   
1283                   User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
1284                   management and authorization functionality.   
1285               
1286               54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
1287                   under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
1288               
1289               55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
1290 mike    1.51      which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
1291                   It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
1292               
1293               56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
1294                   and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
1295                   NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
1296                 
1297               57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
1298                   subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
1299                   CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
1300                   classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
1301                   in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
1302                   or change in provider registration.  
1303               
1304               58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
1305                   and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
1306                   For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
1307                   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
1308               
1309               59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
1310                   It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
1311 mike    1.51      in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
1312                   constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
1313                   structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
1314                   MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
1315                   between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
1316                   is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
1317                   How to use it in a Server or Client:
1318                   1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
1319                   2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
1320                      SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
1321                      without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
1322 mike    1.50  
1323 mike    1.51      The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
1324                   cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
1325               
1326               60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1332               
1333               1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
1334                  indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
1335                  and ExportClient classes. the indication.
1336               
1337                  Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to

1370 mike    1.51  6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
1371                  (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
1372                  functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
1373               
1374               7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
1375                  Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1376                  that
1377                  connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1378                  password.
1379                  Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1380                  This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1381                  build.
1382                  When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1383                  modified to integrate with the framework.

1436 karl    1.35  Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1437 karl    1.16  
1438               1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1439               for NT and Linux platforms.
1440 mike    1.26  
1441 karl    1.17  2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1442               5988.
1443               NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1444               the DMTF.
1445 mike    1.26  
1446 karl    1.17  3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1447               Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1448               CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1449               Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1450 mike    1.26  
1451 bob     1.18  4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1452               and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1453               revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1454 mike    1.26  
1455 bob     1.19  5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1456               Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1457               Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1458               files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1459               prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1460               code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1461 bob     1.20  (grb)
1462 mike    1.26  
1463 bob     1.20  6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1464               This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1465               to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1466 mike    1.26  
1467 karl    1.21  7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1468 mike    1.26  
1469 karl    1.25  8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1470               modifyClass,
1471 chip    1.22  createClass to protect caller's object.
1472 mike    1.26  
1473 karl    1.25  9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1474               directory. These
1475               interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1476               CIMProviderStub has
1477 chip    1.23  been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1478 mike    1.26  
1479 sage    1.24  10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1480 mike    1.26  
1481 karl    1.25  11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1482               repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1483 mike    1.26  
1484               12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1485 mike    1.27      (MEB)
1486               
1487               13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1488                   Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1489                   Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1490                   Need to handle deleteInstance().
1491                   (MEB)
1492 mike    1.26  
1493 mday    1.28  14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1494               
1495 karl    1.30  15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1496               AssociationName
1497 karl    1.29  and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1498               pages.
1499               
1500 karl    1.30  16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1501 sage    1.31  
1502               17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1503               ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1504               Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1505               variables.
1506 mike    1.32  
1507               18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1508                   References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1509                   on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1510 kumpf   1.34  
1511               19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1512                   changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1513                   buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1514                   change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1515                   lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1516                   and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1517                   these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1518 karl    1.35  
1519               20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1520                   tests for stack and queue.

1527 karl    1.12  1. (KS)OptionManager (CPP and H), Logger (CPP and H), Handler (CPP and H),
1528               CIMServer (both)
1529 karl    1.11  Functions added include:
1530               	a. Enable trace to log file.
1531 karl    1.12  	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1532               	is
1533 karl    1.11  	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1534               	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1535 karl    1.12  	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1536               	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1537 karl    1.11  	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1538               	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.
1539 karl    1.15  2. (KS)Extended Log to show time, severity.

1554               not
1555 karl    1.14  print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1556               and components of the message causing the problem.
1557 mike    1.33  
1558 karl    1.15  8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1584 karl    1.5   
1585 karl    1.3   1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1586               find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1587               
1588 karl    1.5   2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
1589               of dynamic lib loaading.

1595 karl    1.3   21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
1596 karl    1.1   
1597               1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1598               qualifiers, methods.
1599               2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1600               methods.
1601               3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1602               qualifiers and to
1603               remove qualifiers.
1604               4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1605               compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1606 karl    1.2   the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1607               common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1608               change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1609               by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1610               with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
