If an app is hard, the scheduler always does the deadline check,
even if the client has no other jobs for this project.
And the estimated wallclock duration is multiplied by 1.3,
to avoid sending jobs to hosts that will barely make the deadline.
Hard apps are marked by setting weight = -1.
This is a total kludge, to avoid adding another field to app.

Same thing for forum timestamp.

(fix links on profile-index pages)
- web: use cache-control "no-store" only for home.php.
This makes it so that, e.g. if you scroll to the middle of a long page,
follow a link, then click Back,
you'll go back the original scroll position rather than top of page.

There are two aspects:
1) undoing magic quotes (if it's being used).
This must be done for all GET and POST string inputs.
It is now done automatically by get_str() and post_str().
The places that refer to $_GET and $_POST directly
must do it themselves using undo_magic_quotes().
2) Escaping user-supplied strings before using them in DB queries.
This is done by process_user_text()
(which should be renamed db_escape_string()).
The new principle:
call process_user_text() in the function that does the DB query
(not at any higher level).
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=15389
1) it's not correct to apply stripslashes() to all form input.
That should be done only if magic quotes is on.
I fixed this by adding a function undo_magic_quotes()
that does the right thing.
2) There's no reason to strip backslashes from user-supplied text
(forum titles and bodies, private messages, passwords etc.)
I'm not sure why this was being done.
It prevented messages from containing backslashes.

to return a struct FILE_INFO (including "optional")

so there was no way of rescuing a team with invalid founder email.
I changed it to record the request anyway.
This is potentially hazardous - if the founder's email server
is temporarily down, the request would go through
without the founder being notified.
To offset this, I added a notification via private message.

- scheduler: condition lots of log file writes on config flags
(i.e. divide "debug" output into a bunch of categories, individually selectable)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=15101
- update_versions: use __ (not :) as separator for plan class
- client: add plan_class to APP_VERSION;
an app version is now identified by platform/version/plan_class
- client CPU scheduler: don't assume apps use 1 CPU
- client: add avg_ncpus, max_cpus, flops, cmdline to RESULT
- scheduler: implement app planning scheme
Other changes:
- client: if symlink() fails, make a XML soft link instead
(for Unix running off a FAT32 FS)
- client: don't accept nonpositive resource share from AMS
- daemons and DB: check for error returns from enumerations,
and exit if so. Thus, if the MySQL server goes down,
all the daemons will soon exit.
The cron script will restart them every 5 min,
so when the DB server comes back up so will the project.
- web: show empty max CPU % as ---
- API: get rid of all_threads_cpu_time option (always the case now)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14966
The design has been changed to constant #threads per app version
Various changes from Kevin Reed/WCG:
- server: add workunit.rsc_bandwidth_bound: if nonzero,
send this WU only to hosts with that much download bandwidth
- assimilators: if a handler returns DEFER_ASSIMILATION,
the WU remains in INIT state and will be handled when the
next instance completes.
Useful if you want the assimilator to see all instances.
- scheduler: when setting result.outcome = DETACHED,
set received_time to now
- scheduler: removed the reliable_time and reliable_min_avg_credit
options
- scheduler/web: add optional <allow_non_preferred_projects>
in project preferences.
If present, user will accept work from non-selected apps
if no work is available for selected apps
- scheduler: improved messages for projects with multiple apps
- scheduler: added config options
<granted_credit_weight> and <granted_credit_ramp_up>.
Used in calculating host.claimed_credit_per_cpu_sec,
but I'm not sure how.
- Added two new credit-granting formulas (validate_util.C):
stddev_credit() and two_credit()
- server DB: add rollback_transaction() and affected_rows() to DB_CONN
NOTE: DB update required
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14870
- web: remove get_transform_settings_from_user().
There's only get_output_options()
NOTE: why is text_transform() doing stripslashes()?
The slashes shouldn't be in the DB in the first place.
There's some fundamental confusion here.
- web: fix uotd.php
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14866
It works, at least in my test case.
- boinc_submit script:
show status every 10 seconds until completed
add --wait option to show status for previous submission
- Added get_logical_name() in validate_util.C
- create_work: change default target_nresults from 5 to 2,
max_error_results from 10 to 3,
max_total_results from 20 to 10,
max_success_results from 10 to 6
- boinc_cmd: show full usage if no args
- project setup: copy single_job_assimilator

It manages everything for you.
You don't have to worry about apps, app_versions,
template files, wrapper job files, etc.

- web: "least recent" => "oldest", "most recent" => "newest"
- scheduler: change DELAY_NO_WORK_CACHE from 20 min to 0.
Otherwise, a host that has max_wus_in_progress,
completes one, and sends a work request before the upload is finished
will delay (and maybe sit idle) for 20 min.
Better to have a few extra scheduler requests
and let the client's backoff take care of things.

Lets you assign a WU to a particular host,
to one or all hosts belonging to a user or team, or to all hosts.
See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AssignedWork
Disabled unless you include <enable_assignment> in config.xml
Uses a new DB table.
Tested but only a little.
- Server: code cleanup; moved result-handling to a new file,
and removed the PLATFORM_LIST arg to everything
(put it in SCHEDULER_REQUEST instead)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14767
which added only confusion.
Implement login directly, using cookies.
- All cookie setting/clearing now goes through two functions,
send_cookie() and clear_cookie().
These deal with path and expiry
(e.g. if you want to have different language or forum settings
on two projects on the same server, that now works).
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=14735
in case someone else changed since we read it.
Hopefully this will fix a race condition
where WU results get sent to different HR classes.
(Alternatively we could use transactions,
or acquire the semaphore during read/update,
but this could impact performance).

- web: removed addslashes() when building language translation arrays.
These caused 's to be displayed as \' everywhere.
They may serve some purpose, but I can't think of what it is.
- web: changed max profile image dimensions from 800x600 to 640x480.
The new profile page puts a column to the right
of the image, so it shouldn't be quite that wide.

The meaning of the <screen_profiles> config flag is:
If set:
profiles must be screened by admins before their photo is shown.
When this is done, profile.verification is set to 1
(and they become eligible to be UOTD)
If not set:
profile photos are always shown.
Profiles must be screened by admins before
they are eligible for UOTD.
When this is done, profile.verification is set to 1
So default_uotd_candidates_query() is the same in either case.
- web: fix profile_screen_form.php
(admin page for screening profiles)
- web: make a copy of login_action.php in ops/

It didn't work on a host's first scheduler RPC
(when it passes an auth but no host ID).
How do we look up user in this case?
The weak auth is not stored explicitly in the DB.
Solution: include the user ID in the weak auth.
(this invalidates existing weak auths)

This is for debugging apps (currently works only in Unix).
What it does: when running an app,
the client does everything except actually fork/exec the app,
i.e. it sets up the slot dir, creates shared mem segment etc.
It then continues as if the app were actually running,
and you can then manually run your app under a debugger
in the slot directory.
Note: the client won't notice the termination of your app.
- API, Unix: in situations where the timer thread wants to exit
(e.g. it notices a missing heartbeat).
don't directly call boinc_exit(),
since this touches data structures that the worker thread
may be using concurrently.
Instead, set a flag telling the worker thread to call boinc_exit()
(which it will do from its signal handler)
This is an attempt to fix problems reported by Bernd;
I haven't tested it.
- scheduler: add config flag for uploading usage data
- web: show account key and weak account key on user page

Users can choose whether to get 1 email per notification,
a daily "digest" email, or no email.
(All notifications are shown on the Account page).
Currently used for:

- Private messages
NOTE: To implement the "daily digest" feature, projects must add
a periodic task for html/ops/notify.php to config.xml
- web: have project_footer() generate links for
Account Page and Message Boards as well as Home
NOTE: projects that want this change
will have to modify their own project.inc.

- May as well start keeping checkin notes for Bolt.
At this point the fundamental structure of Bolt is
more or less complete, I hope; many features are missing.
Items for this particular checkin:
- Make things work right when you resume a course at an
exercise answer page.
This creates a new View, whose prev_view_id link points
to the exercise view, not the answer page view
- When leave a page using "Up", terminate the view accordingly.
- Rather than using $_GET, Form vars are now passed to exercise primitives
in a global variable $bolt_ex_query_string, which they must parse.

Each account has an associated weak account key.
The user can see it by visiting weak_auth.php.
If you put the weak account key in the account file on a computer
(instead of the regular account key)
the computer will attach to the account.
But the weak account key cannot be used to log in
to the account on the web, or to do web RPCs, or anything else.
Note: this involves a scheduler change.
