CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS

Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 -  Development Branch (Work in Progress)
		current working dev branch of build

1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
	
2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
	should not affect any current work.
3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
	loads the 2.5 schema.
	
4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
        on XML output.
        
5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
"for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.

6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
to show user friendly error/status messages.
        
7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
(reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
generating debug output.

8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
xml when it generates xml output.

9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
repository implementation.

10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.

11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.

12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.

13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.

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.

15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
    CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.

16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.

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.

18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.

19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
    interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
    a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.

20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
    CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
    input and output can be written in a trace file.

21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
    Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
    deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).

22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and ExportClient 
    to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample consumer is added which 
    will consume (by displaying on screen) the indication exported by 
    CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete implementation is based on 
    CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp 
    and Message.h files are modified to implement above messages. 

    XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete operation. 
    It now creates a consumer, handler and indication instance and then calls 
    CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the indication to consumer. This
    program needs src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
    and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded in the repository
    to complete the test successfully. This test program also needs Handler qualifier 
    defined in repository and modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP 
    class as below:

    //====================================================================
    //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
    //====================================================================
    [Description (
      "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
      "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
      "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]

23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
    ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
    a provider library.

24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod interface for the 
    provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as type for inParameters and 
    outParameters, which are unable to give information about param name, type and value.
    This should be changed to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of
    the parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod call. 
    Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while travelling through message 
    queues and converts it back to array of CIMValue before calling Provider API (which 
    needs to be changed later). 

    Also added are two test programs: 
	
    src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of CIMParamValue class.
	
    src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to InvokeMethod and 
    displays the return value. Current implementation assumes that provider had returned 
    true value and outParameters (which are now hard coded in CIMOperationRequestDispatcher 
    to implement functionality) which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.

25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
    authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager and 
    authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication module has
    been modified to implement the local authenticator interface, to generate 
    the challenge for the unauthorized requests and to verify the authentication.
    A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. This code is
    in the Security/Authentication directory which is not yet linked into the build.

26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export Decoders. Earlier
    decoders were sending requests and responses before finishing complete Xml parse.
    This was prone to send request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
    New changes collects the Message* as return value from the appropriate functions
    while parsing the Xml and sends on _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch
              Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been
              1.1

1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
   indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
   and ExportClient classes. the indication.

   Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
   make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.

   Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
   SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.

2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading
   library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined
   are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler
   and SimpleThread.

3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.  Please refer
   to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more
   information on using wbemexec.  A simple test script is included.  Please
   see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running
   the test script.

4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP)  Implementation of Trace Framework.  Please
   refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf
   and
   src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using
   the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and
   src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp.

5. (Nag Boranna - HP)  Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and
   Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation
   in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page
   in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on
   using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config
   mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script
   is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for
   information on running the test script.

6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects
   (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These
   functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects.

7. (Bapu Patil - HP)  Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local
   Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
   that
   connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
   password.
   Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
   This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
   build.
   When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
   modified to integrate with the framework.

8. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Removed the ltoa() function call from Tracer.cpp.
   Added a constant to define the maximum length of uint32.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001

1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
for NT and Linux platforms.

2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
5988.
NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
the DMTF.

3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.

4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).

5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
(grb)

6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
to work indepently of the repository. (grb)

7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001

8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
modifyClass,
createClass to protect caller's object.

9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
directory. These
interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
CIMProviderStub has
been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.

10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM

11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks

12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
    (MEB)

13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
    Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
    Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
    Need to handle deleteInstance().
    (MEB)

14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)

15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
AssociationName
and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
pages.

16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (

17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
variables.

18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
    References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
    on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.

19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
    changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
    buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
    change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
    lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
    and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
    these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).

20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
    tests for stack and queue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.97.3 - Released 5 June 2001

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

3. (KS)Added getCurrentASCIITime functions to System.x

4. (KS)Extended options on CIMServer including 1. option to determine where
logs
are put

5. (KS)Added TestClient that executes a series of tests against a server.
This is a preliminary version.

6. (KS)Corrected problem with acceptor.bind where failure was being lost. Now
throws CannotBind exception.

7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
not
print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
and components of the message causing the problem.

8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

9. (KS)Fixed problem where logs were not created unless logs directory already
existed.

10. (Mike Brasher) Added "Test" prefix to all test program names.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Version 0.97.2

1. Extend HP UX port to correctly load Dynamic Load Libraries.
2. Extend Formatter for Boolean and Uint32 types.
3. Change CIM Server to use Trace (-t) flag.  This also changed
   Handler.h to work off of flag.
4. Minor corrections to __Namespace Provider.
5. Extend tests for Formatter, String, and other modules.
6. Correct errors in documentation.
7. New working papers (provider interface).
8. Add Providerreg.exe tool.
9. Add trace output for messages sent from the Server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

23 May 2001 Version 0.97.1 Tags as version_0_971

1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).

2. Port To HP UX.  This required a number of changes particularly in the area
of dynamic lib loaading.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

21 May 2001  Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97

1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
qualifiers, methods.
2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
methods.
3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
qualifiers and to
remove qualifiers.
4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

23 May 2001

1.  Ported to HPUX

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

29 May 2001

1.  Implemented CIMRepository::setProperty() and CIMRepository::getProperty().
