  2 mike  1.31.2.9 
  3                    -	Finalize export client/server:
  4                
  5                	    -	Covert GetClass operation to DeliverIndication operation.
  6                
  7                	    -   Rework export-client to asynchronously process responses 
  8                		(instead of the RPC style used now).
  9                
 10                	    -	Need meta-export-client (with connection management).
 11                
 12                	    -	Implement disconnect() logic.
 13                

 14 mike  1.31.2.8     -	Remove keys from messages?
 15                
 16                    -   Get rid of unused source code (dealing with channels and TCP).
 17                

 18 mike  1.31.2.7     -   Rethink the useage of queue-ids in messages and how requests and
 19                	responses are matched up. Queue-ids are only used on the server
 20                	side. Perhaps a more general mechanism can be found.
 21                

 22 mike  1.31.2.6     -   Fix bug in which the messageId is calculated inside the XmlWriter.
 23                	It should be calculated by the caller.
 24                
 25                    -	Delete CIMOperations.h.
 26                

 27 mike  1.31.2.5     -	Get rid of message keys? They don't seem to be used.
 28                

 29 mike  1.31.2.4     -	Fix bug in src/Pegasus/Client/tests/Client in which associators()
 30                	fails and says class does not exist (seems to happen in debug mode
 31                	only). Disappears when I/O is enabled.
 32                

 33 mike  1.31.2.3     -	Replace old headers with new ones (co-ordinate with team).
 34                

 35 mike  1.31.2.2     -	Get rid of usage of System (use since it
 36                

 37 mike  1.31.2.1     -	Migrate to use of Linkage.h files.
 38                

 39 mike  1.31         -   Document that lex and yacc are no longer a requirement to build
 40                	Pegasus.
 41                

 42 mike  1.30         -	Figure out how to handle very large CIM respones and possibly
 43                	requests too.
 44                
 45                    -   Integrate client/server tests into make system somehow.
 46                

 47 mike  1.29         -   Note that it is possible to remove an class and still have association
 48                	classes which refer to it.
 49                
 50                    -   Class inheritance not taken into consideration when resolving the
 51                	AssocClass
 52                
 53                    -   It seems that associatios() will fail when AssocClass is a super
 54                	class of the class which is in the association instance table.
 55                

 56 mike  1.28         -   Should there be a single associations table for the entire repository
 57                	or should there be one per namespace as there is now?
 58                

 59 mike  1.27         -   If it is the case that a reference may only refer to an instance,
 60                	then we must derive new types for representing object paths.
 61                
 62                    -   Many CIM operations interfaces are incorrect: GetInstance() for example
 63                	takes a namespace and a CIMReference (which also may contain the 
 64                	namespace). According to the standard, it should take an "InstanceName".
 65                

 66 mike  1.26         -   Need way of signaling the cimserver so that it will reload the
 67                	class inheritance table (after a MOF compile).
 68                    

 69 mike  1.25         -   Revisit use of namespace v.s. objectName in all CIM operations.
 70                
 71                    -   What do we do when getInstance() is called and the nameSpace is
 72                	provided both as an argument and as part of the instance name?
 73                
 74                    -   ReferenceNames should return classes not just instances?

 75 mike  1.22     

 76 mike  1.24         -   Remove final const from const methods in non-const CIM element classes.
 77                

 78 mike  1.22         -   Null vs. empty CIM/HTTP parameters.
 79                
 80                    -   Resolve constness problems. (get rid or Const classes?)
 81                
 82                    -	Change CIMReference to CIMObjectPath?
 83                
 84                    -	Finish associations.
 85                
 86                    -	Provide CIMOM Context.
 87                
 88                    -	Complete conventions document.
 89                

 90 mike  1.23         -   The CIMServer.exe program should probably create the logs directory
 91                	under PEGASUS_HOME.
 92                

 93 mike  1.22         -   Clean up exceptions.
 94                

 95 mike  1.21         -   Resolve redundancy in which the namespace is passed to certain methods
 96                	(getClass) and the CIMReference itself may contain a namespace arguent.
 97                

 98 mike  1.20         -	Implement consistency and constraint checking on classes and instances.
 99

101                

102 mike  1.18         -	Consider eliminating const CIM element classes.

107 mike  1.16     

108 mike  1.17         -   Fix bug with cimserver.exe causing it to fail to start without te
109                	"-l" option.

112 mike  1.16     

113 mike  1.17         -   Create CIMOMContext (interface to CIMOM used b the provider).

114 mike  1.16     

115 mike  1.17         -	Define Encoding module interface.

142 mike  1.17         -   Implement good observer module interface which allows different levels:

143 mike  1.10     

144 mike  1.17     	-   Observation of client/CIMMOM connections/disconnection.

156 mike  1.17         -	Pegasus providers for WMI.

157 mike  1.1      

158 mike  1.17         -	Sun WBEM Services providers for Pegasus.

159 mike  1.1      

160 mike  1.17         -   CIM/HTTP Proxy for WMI.

161 mike  1.1

168 mike  1.1      

169 mike  1.17         - 	GetInstances() and GetClasses() need to use iterators on
170                	provider and repository end. Otherwise, all classes or instance
171                	to be enumerated, must be sucked into memory.

173 mike  1.17         -   Template bloat reduction.

174 mike  1.1

189 mike  1.1      

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

191 mike  1.1      	example:
192                
193                	    CIMProperty CIMClass::getProperty(const String& name);
194                

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

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

203                	functions).

204 mike  1.1      
205                    -	Write Pegasus Architecture Paper.
