  1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
  2 karl  1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
  3            
  4            1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
  5                   in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
  6                   may temporarily be in side branches.
  7                   Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
  8 karl  1.53        
  9            2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 10            	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 11            	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 12            	which is the current file based repository.
 13            	
 14            	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 15            	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 16            	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 17            	in the future.

 21 mike  1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
 22            		current working dev branch of build
 23 mike  1.36 
 24 karl  1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 25            Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 26            
 27 mike  1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 28               PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 29            
 30            2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 31 mike  1.51 =======
 32            1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 33            	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 34            	
 35            2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 36            	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 37            	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 38            	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 39            	should not affect any current work.
 40            3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 41            	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 42            	loads the 2.5 schema.
 43            	
 44            4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 45                    on XML output.
 46                    
 47            5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 48            in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 49            RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 50            declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 51            "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 52 mike  1.51 
 53            6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 54            dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 55            cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 56            and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 57            were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 58            provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 59            provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 60            to show user friendly error/status messages.
 61                    
 62            7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 63            (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 64            Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 65            generating debug output.
 66            
 67            8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 68            xml when it generates xml output.
 69            
 70            9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 71            a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 72            repository implementation.
 73 mike  1.51 
 74            10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 75            
 76            11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 77            
 78            12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 79            
 80            13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 81            
 82            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.
 83            
 84            15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 85                CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 86            
 87            16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 88            
 89            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.
 90            
 91            18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 92            
 93            19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 94 mike  1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 95                a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 96            
 97            20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 98                CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 99                input and output can be written in a trace file.
100            
101            21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
102                Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
103                deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
104            
105            22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
106                ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
107                consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
108                indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
109                implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
110                RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
111                are modified to implement above messages. 
112            
113                XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
114                operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
115 mike  1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
116                indication to consumer. This program needs
117                src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
118                and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
119                in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
120                program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
121                modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
122                below:
123            
124                //====================================================================
125                //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
126                //====================================================================
127                [Description (
128                  "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
129                  "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
130                  "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
131            
132            23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
133                ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
134                a provider library.
135            
136 mike  1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
137                interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
138                type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
139                information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
140                to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
141                parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
142                call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
143                travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
144                CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
145                later). 
146            
147                Also added are two test programs: 
148            	
149                src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
150                    CIMParamValue class.
151            	
152                src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
153                    InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
154                    implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
155                    and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
156                    CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
157 mike  1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
158            
159            25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
160                authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
161                and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
162                module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
163                interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
164                and to verify the authentication.
165            
166                A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
167                This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
168                yet linked into the build.
169            
170            26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
171                Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
172                before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
173                request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
174                New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
175                appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
176                _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
177            
178 mike  1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
179                fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
180                providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
181                construction (appending .sl or .so) from
182                CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
183                ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
184                provider file path name.
185            
186            28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
187                Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
188                definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
189                structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
190                Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
191                agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
192                Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
193                implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
194            
195            29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
196                be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
197                property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
198                plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
199 mike  1.51 
200            30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
201                to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
202                string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
203                Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
204            
205            31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
206                NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
207                were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
208                library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
209                program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
210                all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
211                only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
212                library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
213                File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
214            
215            32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
216                commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
217                
218            33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
219            
220 mike  1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
221                pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
222                the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
223                leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
224                in make files.
225               
226            35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
227                because getting an error in 26
228            
229            35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
230                whose types are references.  These reference values must be
231                treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
232                tag structure.
233            
234                Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
235                For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
236                type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
237            
238                I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
239                CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
240                XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
241 mike  1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
242                of String type and a key of reference type.
243            
244                I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
245                allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
246                reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
247                key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
248                would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
249                the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
250                key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
251                transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
252            
253                The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
254                for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
255                the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
256                reference type.
257            
258                In this example:
259            
260                    MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
261            
262 mike  1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
263                the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
264                is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
265                recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
266                which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
267            
268                The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
269                KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
270                CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
271                be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
272                correctly.
273            
274                The files that have been modified to make this change are
275                CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
276            
277                A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
278                repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
279                need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
280                CIMOM version.
281            
282                Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
283 mike  1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
284                instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
285                therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
286                to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
287                definition to determine the key property types.
288            
289            36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
290                in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
291                init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
292                cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
293            
294            37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
295                (instanceName).
296            
297            38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
298                GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
299                Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
300                relevant intrinsic methods.
301            
302            39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
303                ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
304 mike  1.51 
305            40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
306                files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
307                TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
308                IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
309                SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
310                (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
311                nsk platform links. 
312            
313            41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
314                toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
315                returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
316                replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
317                would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
318                String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
319                CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
320            
321                This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
322                repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
323                CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
324                CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
325 mike  1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
326                be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
327                in that same form, without special character encoding.
328            
329            42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
330                the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
331                often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
332                Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
333            
334            43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
335                localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
336                to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
337                CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
338                Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
339            
340            44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
341                to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
342                from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
343                be updated to use this class.
344            
345            45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
346 mike  1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
347                of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
348                functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
349                String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
350            
351            46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
352                the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
353                the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
354                Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
355                responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
356                supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
357            
358            47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
359            
360                  - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
361                      to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
362                  - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
363                      CIMNamedInstance
364                  - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
365                  - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
366                      CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
367 mike  1.51 
368                Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
369            
370                These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
371                API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
372                differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
373                However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
374                functionality.
375            
376                When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
377            
378                  - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
379                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
380                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
381                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
382                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
383                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
384                      the entire instance.
385            
386                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
387                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
388 mike  1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
389            
390                  - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
391                      PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
392                      providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
393            
394                Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
395                ModifyInstance correctly.
396            
397            48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
398                provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
399                ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
400                the DMTF specification.
401            
402                The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
403                plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
404                continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
405                to take advantage of the features that have been added.
406            
407                The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
408            
409 mike  1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
410                      they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
411                      PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
412                      list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
413                      issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
414                      properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
415                      the entire instance.
416            
417                  - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
418                      which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
419                      false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
420                      be used to update the instance.
421            
422                  - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
423                      instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
424                      these instance names, as the standard dictates.
425            
426                The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
427                However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
428                a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
429            
430 mike  1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
431                files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
432                the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
433                platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
434                without the standard (std) namespace.
435            
436            50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
437                properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
438                repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
439            
440                Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
441                default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
442                setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
443                disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
444                following command before starting cimserver:
445            
446                    cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
447            
448                The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
449                provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
450                provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
451 mike  1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
452                to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
453                repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
454                'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
455            
456            51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
457                pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
458                service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
459            
460            52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
461                the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
462                PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
463                so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
464                supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
465            
466                Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
467                Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
468                ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
469                written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
470                ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
471                operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
472 mike  1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
473            
474            53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
475                Security components for authentication and authorization. 
476            
477                Authentication and User Management:
478                cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
479                and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
480                in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
481                generated password file. 
482            
483                cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
484                to add/remove/list user authorizations.
485                
486                User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
487                management and authorization functionality.   
488            
489            54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
490                under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
491            
492            55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
493 mike  1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
494                It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
495            
496            56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
497                and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
498                NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
499              
500            57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
501                subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
502                CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
503                classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
504                in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
505                or change in provider registration.  
506            
507            58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
508                and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
509                For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
510                in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
511            
512            59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
513                It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
514 mike  1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
515                constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
516                structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
517                MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
518                between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
519                is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
520                How to use it in a Server or Client:
521                1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
522                2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
523                   SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
524                   without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
525 mike  1.50 
526 mike  1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
527                cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.

567               in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
568 mike  1.51    using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
569               mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
570               is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
571               information on running the test script.
572            
573            6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
574               (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
575               functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.
576            
577            7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
578               Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
579               that
580               connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
581               password.
582               Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
583               This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
584               build.
585               When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
586               modified to integrate with the framework.

639 karl  1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
640 karl  1.16 
641            1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
642            for NT and Linux platforms.
643 mike  1.26 
644 karl  1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
645            5988.
646            NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
647            the DMTF.
648 mike  1.26 
649 karl  1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
650            Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
651            CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
652            Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
653 mike  1.26 
654 bob   1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
655            and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
656            revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
657 mike  1.26 
658 bob   1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
659            Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
660            Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
661            files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
662            prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
663            code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
664 bob   1.20 (grb)
665 mike  1.26 
666 bob   1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
667            This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
668            to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
669 mike  1.26 
670 karl  1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
671 mike  1.26 
672 karl  1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
673            modifyClass,
674 chip  1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
675 mike  1.26 
676 karl  1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
677            directory. These
678            interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
679            CIMProviderStub has
680 chip  1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
681 mike  1.26 
682 sage  1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
683 mike  1.26 
684 karl  1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
685            repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
686 mike  1.26 
687            12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
688 mike  1.27     (MEB)
689            
690            13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
691                Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
692                Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
693                Need to handle deleteInstance().
694                (MEB)
695 mike  1.26 
696 mday  1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
697            
698 karl  1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
699            AssociationName
700 karl  1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
701            pages.
702            
703 karl  1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
704 sage  1.31 
705            17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
706            ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
707            Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
708            variables.
709 mike  1.32 
710            18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
711                References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
712                on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
713 kumpf 1.34 
714            19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
715                changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
716                buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
717                change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
718                lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
719                and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
720                these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
721 karl  1.35 
722            20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
723                tests for stack and queue.

799 karl  1.1  
800            1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
801            qualifiers, methods.
802            2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,

806            remove qualifiers.
807            4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
808            compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
809 karl  1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
810            common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
811            change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
812            by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
813            with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
