1 mike  1.3 

  2 mike  1.31.2.10     -	Propagate message key for all messages pertaining to a particular 
  3                 	request.
  4                 
  5                     -	Run Purify on all sources (port to Sun first).
  6                 
  7                     -	Rework Pegasus to use asynchronous I/O.

  8 mike  1.31.2.9  
  9                     -	Finalize export client/server:
 10                 
 11                 	    -	Covert GetClass operation to DeliverIndication operation.
 12                 
 13                 	    -   Rework export-client to asynchronously process responses 
 14                 		(instead of the RPC style used now).
 15                 
 16                 	    -	Need meta-export-client (with connection management).
 17                 
 18                 	    -	Implement disconnect() logic.
 19                 

 20 mike  1.31.2.8      -	Remove keys from messages?
 21                 
 22                     -   Get rid of unused source code (dealing with channels and TCP).
 23                 

 24 mike  1.31.2.7      -   Rethink the useage of queue-ids in messages and how requests and
 25                 	responses are matched up. Queue-ids are only used on the server
 26                 	side. Perhaps a more general mechanism can be found.
 27                 

 28 mike  1.31.2.6      -   Fix bug in which the messageId is calculated inside the XmlWriter.
 29                 	It should be calculated by the caller.
 30                 
 31                     -	Delete CIMOperations.h.
 32                 

 33 mike  1.31.2.5      -	Get rid of message keys? They don't seem to be used.
 34                 

 35 mike  1.31.2.4      -	Fix bug in src/Pegasus/Client/tests/Client in which associators()
 36                 	fails and says class does not exist (seems to happen in debug mode
 37                 	only). Disappears when I/O is enabled.
 38                 

 39 mike  1.31.2.3      -	Replace old headers with new ones (co-ordinate with team).
 40                 

 41 mike  1.31.2.2      -	Get rid of usage of System (use since it
 42                 

 43 mike  1.31.2.1      -	Migrate to use of Linkage.h files.
 44                 

 45 mike  1.31          -   Document that lex and yacc are no longer a requirement to build
 46                 	Pegasus.
 47                 

 48 mike  1.30          -	Figure out how to handle very large CIM respones and possibly
 49                 	requests too.
 50                 
 51                     -   Integrate client/server tests into make system somehow.
 52                 

 53 mike  1.29          -   Note that it is possible to remove an class and still have association
 54                 	classes which refer to it.
 55                 
 56                     -   Class inheritance not taken into consideration when resolving the
 57                 	AssocClass
 58                 
 59                     -   It seems that associatios() will fail when AssocClass is a super
 60                 	class of the class which is in the association instance table.
 61                 

 62 mike  1.28          -   Should there be a single associations table for the entire repository
 63                 	or should there be one per namespace as there is now?
 64                 

 65 mike  1.27          -   If it is the case that a reference may only refer to an instance,
 66                 	then we must derive new types for representing object paths.
 67                 
 68                     -   Many CIM operations interfaces are incorrect: GetInstance() for example
 69                 	takes a namespace and a CIMReference (which also may contain the 
 70                 	namespace). According to the standard, it should take an "InstanceName".
 71                 

 72 mike  1.26          -   Need way of signaling the cimserver so that it will reload the
 73                 	class inheritance table (after a MOF compile).
 74                     

 75 mike  1.25          -   Revisit use of namespace v.s. objectName in all CIM operations.
 76                 
 77                     -   What do we do when getInstance() is called and the nameSpace is
 78                 	provided both as an argument and as part of the instance name?
 79                 
 80                     -   ReferenceNames should return classes not just instances?

 81 mike  1.22      

 82 mike  1.24          -   Remove final const from const methods in non-const CIM element classes.
 83                 

 84 mike  1.22          -   Null vs. empty CIM/HTTP parameters.
 85                 
 86                     -   Resolve constness problems. (get rid or Const classes?)
 87                 
 88                     -	Change CIMReference to CIMObjectPath?
 89                 
 90                     -	Finish associations.
 91                 
 92                     -	Provide CIMOM Context.
 93                 
 94                     -	Complete conventions document.
 95                 

 96 mike  1.23          -   The CIMServer.exe program should probably create the logs directory
 97                 	under PEGASUS_HOME.
 98                 

 99 mike  1.22          -   Clean up exceptions.
100                 

101 mike  1.21          -   Resolve redundancy in which the namespace is passed to certain methods
102                 	(getClass) and the CIMReference itself may contain a namespace arguent.
103                 

104 mike  1.20          -	Implement consistency and constraint checking on classes and instances.
105

111 mike  1.16      

112 mike  1.17          -   Rename tests (prepend "Test" to each test).

165 mike  1.1       

166 mike  1.17          -   CIM/HTTP Proxy for WMI.

167 mike  1.1       

168 mike  1.17          -   Web Server/Pegasus Integration (use HTTP protocol capabilities of
169                 	web server rather than Pegasus).

170 mike  1.1       

171 mike  1.17          -   Add CIMRepository::namespaceExists() method.

173 mike  1.17          - 	Change HTTP message id's to this format: "YYYY.MM.DD.HH.MM.SS.NNNNN".

174 mike  1.1

176                 	provider and repository end. Otherwise, all classes or instance
177                 	to be enumerated, must be sucked into memory.

178 mike  1.1       

179 mike  1.17          -   Template bloat reduction.

180 mike  1.1

196 mike  1.5           -	Add methods to get objects by their names, in addition to index. For

197 mike  1.1       	example:
198                 
199                 	    CIMProperty CIMClass::getProperty(const String& name);
200                 

201 mike  1.5           -	Distinguish between private and public classes (otherwise, users may

202 mike  1.1       	come to depend on classes with unstable interfaces).

208 mike  1.17          -	Expand datatime (setCurrentTime() and comparison and increment 
209                 	functions).
