Projects will need to update DB and recompile all back-end programs.
Summary:
- new way of computing credit
- "reliable host" mechanism is per app version
- "host punishment" mechanism is per app version
- adjustment of wu.rsc_fpops_est provides the
equivalent of per app version DCF
- max jobs in progress is now per app
- max jobs per RPC is now per app
TODO:
- reliable mechanism:
- populate and use host_app_version.error_rate
- populate host_app_version.turnaround
- host punishment:
- populate host_app_version.max_jobs_per_day
- populate host_app_version.n_jobs_today
- use app.max_jobs_per_day_init
- job limits:
- use app.max_jobs_in_progress, max_gpu_jobs_in_progress
- use app.max_jobs_per_rpc
- adjust wu.rsc_fpops_est
- remove old credit stuff
fpops_cumulative, credit_multiplier
credit computation in scheduler
- AVERAGE class: use the Knuth algorithm (Wikipedia)

and apps that use coprocessors.
There now can be several app_versions for the same
(app, platform, version_num) combination.
This changes a number of things.
- Added app_version.plan_class field to DB
- update_versions now looks for a :plan-class in the
file or directory name, and puts it in the app_version's DB record
- Change uniqueness constraint to include plan_class
- Feeder: the feeder was putting non-deprecated app_versions
in shared mem, and leaving it to the scheduler to
find the latest version for a given platform.
This is dumb.
Instead, for each app/platform pair the feeder now
finds the highest version number of a non-deprecated app version,
and enumerates all non-deprecated app_versions with that
app/platform/version
- Scheduler: add a BEST_APP_VERSION data structure that keeps track,
for each app, what the best app_version is for this host.
This saves the work of recomputing it for each job.

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:
- Friend requests and confirmations
- Posts to subscribed threads
- 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.

- user web: improve "team search" function,
and get rid of the superceded "search by name" function
- user web: don't show team founder link to initiate transfer
- user web: show team types
- user web: fix "top teams by type" function
- client: tread NOT_FOUND error on file upload as transient;
it means the project is missing its file_upload_handler

Here's how things should eventually be:
- inc/db_conn.inc defines DbConn, a PHP class representing
a connection to a database with
various generic operations (update, insert etc.).
DbConn prepends the DB name to table names,
so you don't have to select a DB;
this means you can access multiple databases
(e.g. BOINC and Bossa) and use persistent connections.
ALL MYSQL-SPECIFIC CODE WILL EVENTUALLY BE HERE.
- inc/boinc_db.inc defines classes BoincUser, BoincTeam etc.,
representing the various BOINC DB tables.
All access to the DB should use these classes.
When you use this framework, no initialization calls are needed.
db.inc is deprecated and should eventually be removed.
I changed get_logged_in_user()
and all team-related code to use this framework.
- user web: show team founder link to "management functions"
even if they're not currently a member;
allow team founder to perform all operations even if not a member.
- turned on E_ALL error checking,
and fixed a bunch of warnings
and a couple of bugs ($team, not team)
- database: update schema/constraints for team fulltext search
- user web: forgot to change Serbia and Montenegro to Serbia
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=13968
These are stored in a new DB table, "team_delta".
The team founder can view the history in HTML or XML
(links on Management Functions page)
