;; -*- tab-width: 4 -*- David A. April 10 2002 Initial checkin of all files. The system is fairly feature-complete and runs a number of test cases correctly. Currently runs only on Linux. David A. April 11 2002 - Got things to compile on Solaris. - Pass in platform name, version number from Makefile (platform name comes from configure) David A. May 15 2002 - Allow applications to have multiple files (e.g. scripts, libraries, pre- and post-processing programs). The app_version table now has an xml_doc field, which contains a list of and elements. Note: the utility for adding applications (tools/add.C) still handles only single-file applications. - Changed IO_FILE_DESC to FILE_REF since it now represents an association of a file to workunit, result or application client app.C client_state.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C main.C message.h (new) parse.C,h scheduler_reply.C,h types.C,h Makefile.in db db.h db_mysql.C schema.sql doc app.html (new) files.html index.html intro.html project.gif project.html project.png protocol.html result.html (new) work.html html_user db.inc sched handle_request.C server_types.C,h test test_uc.php init.inc tools add.C David A. May 23 2002 - Change the scheduling server to reduce database accesses. There's now a shared-memory segment that contains 1) the platform, app, and app_version tables in their entirety; 2) a fixed-size set of results ready to be sent, and their corresponding workunit. This segment is initialized and maintained by a new program called the "feeder" (sched/feeder.C) that should run whenever the scheduling server is up. Note: the scheduler still needs to be converted to fast CGI - Added handy interfaces for dealing with shared memory and semaphores. - Changed to utilities and scripts used for testing so that all server-specific names (paths and URLs) come from environment variables instead of being hardwired in the code. You'll want to add these to your .tcshrc or whatever. See the doc/install.html for details.

Fri May 24 23:34:59 PDT 2002 files db/dependencies and client/config.status and client/config.log removed. These are build time files and should not belong in the source tree. They confuse subsequent builds. files updated: configure configure.in api/Makefile.in apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in db/Makefile.in db/mysql.h lib/Makefile.in sched/Makefile.in tools/Makefile.in These Makefile.in changes will allow the build to be performed outside the source tree. This is convenient for several reasons. The number one reason is that this allows the source tree to remain untouched by the build and therefore clean. This will prevent garbage build files from being checked in during a 'cvs commit' To run a build outside the source tree, simply make an object directory anywhere else that you would like to work, then just execute the configure script in the top-level boinc directory. $ mkdir boincobj $ cd boincobj $ <... path to source tree ...>/boinc/configure $ make > make.out 2>&1 & Note the examples in apps/Makefile.in and sched/Makefile.in of how to use the top_srcdir variable to locate include files in the source tree outside of the current directory. Local references to other object files and libraries produced by the build remain as local .. references. The change to configure.in, (and thus configure) and db/mysql.h allow a proper identification of where the mysql .h files live. The SSL location of /usr/local/mysql/include is a bit non-standard. Most systems will have these in /usr/local/include/mysql Hiram C. Sat May 25 09:20:25 PDT 2002 Continue updating: Makefile.in config.guess configure configure.in api/Makefile.in apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in client/config.guess client/configure client/configure.in sched/Makefile.in tools/Makefile.in I have almost clean builds now on Solaris, Mac OS X, and UnixWare. There appears to be a missing sched_shmem.h file from the source tree. There is still cruft in this configure system. I will continue to work on it to clean it up. David A. May 29, 2002 - Mostly implemented support for editing preferences, including project-specific preferences. Simplified the preferences scheme. Abandoned the idea of multiple preference sets per user; each user now has a single set of preferences. Got rid of the "prefs" database table; prefs are now just an XML and mod_time field in the user table. Haven't tested much yet. NOTE: these new features use the XML parsing features of PHP. This means that, on the BOINC web server, you must configure PHP with the --with-xml option, and you must make and install Apache. Also, you probably need to use a recent version of PHP; XML parsing was broken in PHP 4.0.4, but it works in 4.2.1. client/ Makefile.in speed_stats.C (fixed code formatting a bit; doesn't compile on linux) db/ Makefile.in db.h db_mysql.C schema.sql doc/ prefs.html html_user/ db.inc prefs.inc prefs.php prefs_action.php (removed) prefs_add_project_action.php (new) prefs_add_project_form.php (new) prefs_delete_project.php (new) prefs_delete_project_confirm.php (new) prefs_edit.php (removed) prefs_edit_disk_action.php (new) prefs_edit_disk_form.php (new) prefs_edit_project_action.php (new) prefs_edit_project_form.php (new) prefs_edit_projects.php (new) prefs_edit_work_action.php (new) prefs_edit_work_form.php (new) test.php (removed) sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h test/ init.inc test_1sec.php test_concat.php test_dynamic.php test_prefs.php test_projects.php test_stderr.php test_uc.php test_uc_slow.php tools/ add.C David A.

Thu May 30 01:28:47 PDT 2002 updating: client/configure client/configure.in client/net_xfer.C sched/Makefile.in sched/feeder.C This now builds just fine on Solaris, Linux and OpenUnix8. And only two tiny errors remain for a Mac OS X build. That being the specification of g++ in the sched/Makefile and statvfs() is not available on the Mac for the client/hostinfo_unix.C compile. Need a substitute for that function on the Mac. Eric H. May 30, 2002 Added safeguard to avoid removing root directory when BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR and BOINC_UPLOAD_ DIR environment variables aren't declared. test/ init.inc David A. June 1, 2002 - Ensure that preferences propagate from the server where they are updated to all hosts, Eliminated concept of "home project". Not tested yet. Also to do: replace the "accounts.xml" file with a file containing preferences. - Changed the way the client handles preferences. It now saves saves the exact XML it gets from the server, regardless of whether it can parse it all. - Fixed client parsing code to reflect new names for preferences - Changed the way the scheduling server handles prefs in a client/server interaction. If it gets newer prefs, it updates its own DB. If its DB has newer prefs, it sends them to client. - Fixed the test scripts so that they start/stop the feeder also. This required adding a "ready" flag to the shared-mem structure so that the scheduling server can find out if the feeder hasn't finished initializing the structure. Also required adding a "-synch" cmdline option to feeder. - added utility program (sched/show_shmem.C) for looking at scheduler shared memory - renamed "types.*" to "client_types.*" to avoid name conflict with system include files /Makefile (removed - this is derived from Makefile.in) client/ Makefile.in accounts.C,h app.C client_state.C,h client_types.C,h (new) cs_files.C cs_scheduler.C file_names.h file_xfer.h hostinfo_unix.C net_xfer.C prefs.C,h scheduler_reply.C,h speed_stats.C types.C,h (removed) db/ constraints.sql doc/ protocol.html html_user prefs.inc sched/ feeder.C handle_request.C main.C sched_shmem.h server_types.C,h show_shmem.C (new) ss_reply_file (removed) ss_req_file (removed) test/ account1.xml init.inc sched_reply.xml (removed) sched_request.xml (removed) test_uc.php tools/ add.C Eric Heien June 03, 2002 - Consolidated XML parsing functions into lib - Fixed compile bug on Solaris in shmem.C client/ parse.C (moved to lib) parse.h (moved to lib) Makefile.in lib/ parse.C (moved from client) parse.h (moved from client) shmem.C sched/ parse.C (removed, uses lib version now) parse.h (removed, uses lib version now) Makefile.in Michael Gary June 04, 2002 - Added server side water level functionality, now sends as many work units as necessary to fill the time requested. sched/ handle_request.C Eric Heien June 06, 2002 - Changes and additions made to begin porting to Windows. - This code will compile on Windows, but is not quite fully functional. client/ hostinfo_unix.C hostinfo_win.C (added) http.C main.C net_xfer.C prefs.C speed_stats.C test_file_xfer.C test_http.C test_net_xfer.C util.C util.h windows_cpp.h (added) win_main.C (added) lib/ md5.c parse.C Michael Gary June 06, 2002 - Added client side water level functionality. - Added rsc_fpops and rsc_iops to the client WORKUNIT struct, bun not yet functional since not initialized. - Test scripts to check water level functionality, including minima and maxima.

NOTE: this will work fine for downloading files (GET) but we'll have to use something else for upload, since the standard PUT handler doesn't do offsets, and we need security functionality in any case. - added preliminary version of application API for communicating with core client. - use tags instead of and (makes things simpler) TODO notes api/ api.C,h client/ configure.in client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_files.C error_numbers.h file_xfer.h http.C,h pers_file_xfer.C,h test_http.C html_ops/ db.php html_user/ db.inc test/ 1sec_result account2.xml *_result *_wu init.inc laptop_prefs.xml test_*.php tools/ add.C David A June 13 2002 - added the RSAEuro library to the project, and some interface routines for it.

All non-host-specific project info is stored in this file; all host-specific project info is in client_state.xml. The PROJECT class is a union of the two. The logic for dealing with inconsistencies between prefs.xml and client_state.xml, and with updating in-memory and on-disk project lists in response to an update from a server, are a little tricky and are described in the code. - The prefs file can be overwritten by in a scheduling server reply. To prevent buggy servers from zeroing out users' project lists, the client makes sure there's at least one project, and backs up the old prefs.xml into a timestamped file. - The command-line client, if prefs.xml is absent, prompts the user for a project URL and authenticator, and creates an initial prefs.xml. - Each project now has a "master URL", with is its home page and also contains elements giving the URLs of its scheduling servers. - Added a class SCHEDULER_OP which encapsulates fetching and parsing a project's master page (if necessary), then making an RPC to one of its scheduling servers. TODO: add retry and failure logic. - A project can have more than one scheduling server. TODO: use all of them. - Project directories are stored in URL-encoded form. This allows project master URLs to have slashes, which is a necessity. client/ Makefile.in accounts.C,h (deleted) app.C,h client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C file_names.C,h main.C prefs.C,h scheduler_op.C,h (new) scheduler_reply.C,h (deleted) doc/ project.html lib/ parse.C,h sched/ server_types.C test/ account1.xml, account2.xml (deleted) init.inc prefs1.xml, prefs2.xml (new) test_*.php David A June 21 2002 - top-level Makefile now compiles RSAEuro/, and doesn't refer to sched_fcgi - Added element to html_user/index.html, making it the "master file" for test project.

This prevents bad guys from filling up data servers with trash. In this scheme, each element sent from server to client includes a field limiting the size of the file, and includes a digital signature based on the project's "upload authentication" key pair. File uploads, instead of being done by PUT, are now done by POST to a CGI program, "file_upload_handler". The request header includes the signed , and the CGI program verifies the signature and enforces the size limit. The affected pieces of code: - Added a function create_keys() in PHP test scripts to create encryption keys. Call it from all script. - Added environment var BOINC_KEY_DIR saying where keys are kept. - The client must maintain an exact copy of each XML, and of the signature, so that it can send to upload server. - Added a new variant of HTTP operation, HTTP_OP_POST2. The existing variants all use single files for request and reply. The new variant (used for file upload) has a request consisting of a memory block followed by (part of) a file; the reply is in memory. This avoid copying possibly huge upload files. - FILE_XFER objects now take a FILE_INFO as initialization argument; needed to convey authentication info. The upload variant creates and sends the authentication header. - Result templates now include a in each element, and the URLs refer to the file_upload_handler (with no filename) - process_result_template() works differently, since it must generate a digital signature at the end of each - create_work expects the name of a private key file. - Added crypt/md5 functions to sign/verify in memory, encode/decode ASCII data in memory, checksum in memory - Change "gmake" to "make" in top-level makefile. (alias make to gmake if this is a problem) boinc/ Makefile.in TODO RSAEuro/source/ rsaeuro.h client/ Makefile.in client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_files.C file_names.C file_xfer.C,h http.C,h main.C scheduler_op.C test_file_xfer.C db/ mysql_util.C doc/ index.html intro.html master_url.html (new) project_startup.html (new) tools_security.html (new) html_user/ index.html lib/ Makefile.in crypt.C,h crypt_prog.C md5_file.C,h parse.C,h sched/ Makefile.in file_upload_handler.C server_types.C test/ 1sec_result concat_result init.inc master.html (new) sah_result test_1sec.php test_concat.php test_dynamic.php test_max_water_prefs.php test_min_water_prefs.php test_normal_water_prefs.php test_prefs.php test_projects.php test_stderr.php test_uc.php test_uc_slow.php uc_result ucs_result tools/ Makefile.in add.C backend_lib.C,h create_work.C process_result_template.C David July 4, 2002 - fixed compile problems on linux. use kill() instead of sigsend() client/app.C sched/file_upload_handler.C Michael Gary July 5, 2002 - fixed fast cgi crypto use fgets and sscanf instead of fscanf, which is not implemented in fcgi_stdio.h sched/Makefile.in lib/crypt.C David A. July 7, 2002 - Added code signing. All files associated with an app version (i.e. all executable files) must now be signed with the project's "code sign key". The components include: - PROJECT has new field "code_sign_key", keep track of project's public code-signing key. Send this on each scheduler RPC. - The scheduling server stores the public code-signing key in memory. Send it to any client who doesn't have it. If the client has an old key, send them the new key signed with the old key. NOTE: this uses a scheme in which signatures are kept in files on the server, to avoid keeping private keys in online machines. This should be documented. - The utility to add new app versions (add.C) adds a signature to the FILE_INFO element. NOTE: eventually the signing should be done offline. - FILE_INFO has a new boolean field "signature_required"; set for all files associated with an app version - FILE_INFO has a new char* field "file_signature", which is the digital signature. Renamed upload authenticator from "signature" to "xml_signature" to avoid confusion. - Add function verify_downloaded_file(), called after every download; does MD5 or signature checking as needed. - Added some new functions for signature checking etc. - the client is now linked with the crypt library - Server-side errors should always include the name of the CGI program generating the error (scheduler or file upload handler) client/ Makefile.in client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_files.C cs_scheduler.C file_xfer.C scheduler_op.C,h test_file_xfer.C doc/ index.html project_startup.html (new) security.html lib/ crypt.C,h parse.C,h sched/ file_upload_handler.C handle_request.C,h main.C server_types.C,h test/ init.inc prefs1.xml test_uc.php tools/ add.C process_result_template.C David A.

Summary: - results now have a "report deadline". This may be useful for various purposes; for now, we use it to trigger scheduler RPCs to report results - The client now tries all a project's scheduler URLs in turn. - Projects have a "min_rpc_time", the earliest time to attempt another RPC (replaces next_request_time) - We maintain an RPC failure count for each project. If RPCs to all its URLs fail, we increment the count and set its min_rpc_time according to an exponential backoff - If a project is getting repeated RPC failures, reread and parse its master URL file every so often, in case the set of scheduler URLs has changed - When the client has a completed result past its deadline, it attempts to report it to that project. - When the client's estimated work falls below low water, it ranks projects according to their "resource deficit", then attempts RPCs to project in that order until the estimated work is above high water. NOTE: only the simplest case has been tested. We need to write test scripts for many other cases. NOTE: currently a result's report deadline is now+1000. We need to add a mechanism for setting it. - The CLIENT_STATE is now kept in a global variable instead of a local var of main().

This was causing problems when porting. RSAEuro/source/ Makefile (removed) Makefile.in (added) configure configure.in Michael Gary 7/23/2002 - Added a test for sticky files. Required updating escape_url to support RRC1738 (-_. no longer escaped out). client/ file_names.C test/ test_sticky.php (added) uc_wu_sticky (added) uc_result_sticky (added) Michael Gary 7/24/2002 - Added a test for the time reporting system. test/ test_time.php (added) init.inc apps/ uc_slow.C uc_cpu.C (added) Makefile.in David July 28 2002 - Changed the "add" utility so that, when adding an app version, you can give it the signature files (computed offline, presumably) - Changed the "add" utility so that an app version can consist of multiple files - Removed the notion of alpha/beta/production versions of an app. The same effect can be achieved by making separate projects for alpha and beta testing. - Apps now have a "minimum version number" on the server side - Don't send a WU unless there's an app version of that number or greater. Send the latest available version for the platform. - Clarified app version semantics: - Workunits don't have a version# on the server - When a client gets a workunit, it associates it with the most recent version of the application that it knows about (possibly one it received in the same reply message). It continues to use this version for this WU, even if it receives a later version while the WU is in progress. - On the client, no version #s are associated with apps PROGRAMMERS NOTE: - Removed checking of args in client_state.C This gunks up the code too much. Let's do checking at higher level. - Comments should be in the imperative mood. "Write the state file", not "Writes the state file" - Comments should not be vague, e.g. // See if the application (name) associated with project p is // around here ... what does "around here" mean? - Leave a space between "if" and "(" - When asserting that a pointer is non-NULL, just say "assert(p)". Saying "assert(p!=NULL)" is like saying if (flag==true) - Linux doesn't have -lsocket and -lnsl. Don't put them in Makefile.in.

TODO client/ http.C http.h net_xfer.C net_xfer.h David A. August 4 2002 Various changes to API: - Added user, team names, credit info to APP_INIT_DATA - separate call for getting init data - separate call for returning fraction done - separated out fraction_done_update_period - moved graphics API to separate file - moved MFILE implementation to separate file - API timer is now 0.1 sec; use counters for various uses (checkpoint, fraction done, graphics) - changed name of API files to boinc_api.C,h - clarify distinction between "current CPU time" "CPU time at last checkpoint" "CPU time at start of current run" These are all kept in ACTIVE_TASK. RESULT now only has "final CPU time". - fixed bug in dir scanning (ahem...) - Coding style notes: - every fopen() MUST have a matching fclose() in same function - every malloc() MUST have a matching free() in same function - don't do a rewind() right after fopen() - write function calls as func(arg1, arg2); NOTE: there's a space after every comma, everywhere - write "if" statements as if (condition) { ... } - no explicit argument checking. do this at higher level - functions in foo.C should be declared (as extern) in foo.h, AND NOWHERE ELSE. api/ Makefile.in api.C,h (removed) boinc_api.C,h (new) graphics_api.C,h (new) mfile.C (new) apps/ Makefile.in *.C client/ Makefile.in app.C,h client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C file_names.C filesys.C,h doc/ api.html Barry Luong August 6, 2002 - Added team pages in html_user/ - pages to display team page, join team, quit team, edit team, disband team, and remove inactive members - Added database access per project via the web - a new file in html_user/ called db_name containing only the name of that project's database html_user/ db.inc team.inc team.php team_create_action.php team_create_form.php team_disband_action.php team_disband_form.php team_display.php team_edit_action.php team_edit_form.php team_join_action.php team_join_form.php team_lookup.php team_quit_action.php team_quit_form.php team_remove_inactive_action.php team_remove_inactive_form.php Eric Heien August 7, 2002 - Added PERS_FILE_XFER (persistent file transfer) functionality. This includes the notions of retrying when unable to connect, exponential backoff, and giving up after a period of time. Giving up is currently not fully implemented. Includes initial work for supporting upload/download resumption. All features still need to be thoroughly tested. - Added initial functionality to calculate allowable disk usage. client/ Makefile.in client_state.C client_state.h client_types.C client_types.h cs_files.C cs_scheduler.C file_xfer.C hostinfo_unix.C http.C http.h pers_file_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.h scheduler_op.C test_file_xfer.C test_http.C util.C util.h sched/ file_upload_handler.C Eric Heien August 9, 2002 - Moved windows files to client/win directory, added win_build.zip for building Windows GUI and CLI clients. - Fixed compile bugs in graphics_api.C and graphics_api.h - Updated TODO and INSTALL docs - Added Mac init, event loop, and cleanup functionality in main.C - Added user requestable quit to main loop for use in GUI interfaces. - Fixed Windows specific compile bugs in filesys and pers_file_xfer.

This replaces the old boolean flags and represents what phase of the computation pipeline each result is currently at (downloading, computing, uploading, etc). - Added file upload/download resumption. For downloads, this involves checking how big the local file is, then asking the server for the remainder of it. For uploads, this involves asking the file_upload_handler how much of a certain file it already has, then sending the remainder of it. Both ul and dl resumption need to be thoroughly tested. client/ client_state.C client_state.h client_types.C client_types.h cs_apps.C cs_files.C cs_scheduler.C file_xfer.C http.C net_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.C scheduler_op.C sched/ file_upload_handler.C David August 12 2002 - Cleaned up initialization code: main.C is now used ONLY for CLI versions (remove this file from GUI projects) Factored out initialization code that is common to both GUI and CLI versions. client/ client_state.C,h log_flags.C,h main.C prefs.h Eric Heien August 13, 2002 - Implemented correct handling of RSA or MD5 failures.

Adding new projects is now done using the core client (via GUI or command line) or by copying an existing account file, but NOT via web site; this was a major security weakness since bad guys could guess your web password, then register you for a bogus project. This change also involved the html_user files (not finished). - Further work on credit-granting. On each RPC, the scheduler computes a "credit per CPU second" for the host (linear combo of FP/int/mem speeds). For each result received, the scheduler computes a "claimed credit", the claimed CPU time times the credit per CPU second. It also sets the "need validate" flag of the WU. api/ boinc_api.C apps/ upper_case.C client/ Makefile.in account.C,h (new) client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C file_names.C,h file_xfer.C main.C prefs.C,h db/ db.h doc/ account.html boinc_dev.html client_files.html client_logic.html prefs.html startup.html validation.html html_user/ prefs.inc prefs.php prefs_edit_project_form.php sched/ handle_request.C validate.C test/ account1.xml (new) init.inc master.html prefs1.xml test_uc.php tools/ backend_lib.C David Sept 26 2002 - added todo list - added license comment to various files tools/ grant_credit.C (removed) David Sept 26 2002 - continue with separation of global vs. project preferences.

See doc/test.html for details. - NOTE: the BOINC-related environment variables have changed. There are no longer any project-specific variables (e.g. database name, shmem key) - NOTE: the server programs now expect a configuration file in their directory. - TODO: enhance the testing framework to allow projects with multiple scheduling servers or data servers - TODO: enhance the testing framework to allow specification of failure and recovery of servers - changed things so a NULL in the DB won't crash db_mysql.C - parse_int() can now handle hex - "add" now takes args for DB name/passwd - "create_work" now takes args for DB name/passwd, upload/download URL, download dir db/ db_mysql.C mysql_util.C doc/ data_server_setup.html sched_server_setup.html test.html web_site.html html_user/ index.html lib/ md5_file.C parse.C sched/ Makefile.in config.C,h (new) feeder.C file_upload_handler.C main.C validate.C validate_test.C test/ test.inc (new) test_uc.php tools/ add.C backend_lib.C,h create_work.C process_result_template.C David Oct 3 2002 - updated test scripts to use new framework - got rid of some obsolete scripts David Oct 8 2002 - progress getting "make_work" (dummy work generator) to work. Removed the element from workunit XML, and the and elements from result XML; instead, the scheduler server inserts these as it sends them. This simplifies things a little in work generation, and removes some redundancy. Everything seems to work now except that the file upload signature ends up being wrong, which is expected, and it shows that the security mechanism works. - added test_loop.php, which simulates a system that is complete except for the validation process. client/ http.C db/ db.h db_mysql.C html_ops/ index.html sched/ Makefile.in feeder.C file_upload_handler.C handle_request.C main.C make_work.C (new) test/ *_result *_wu *.php test_loop.php (new) tools/ backend_lib.C,h process_result_template.C Eric October 13, 2002 - Now uses alternate means (statfs, sysctl) to get host information on non-Linux platforms - Fixed compile warnings client/ client_state.C hostinfo.h hostinfo_unix.C file_names.C scheduler_op.C Eric October 14, 2002 - Added initial support for Mac OpenGL graphics, still needs to be polished and tested (particularly multithreaded aspect) api/ mac_app_opengl.c,h mac_carbon_dsp.c,h mac_carbon_gl.c,h mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj David Oct 14 2002 - Change make_work so that it generates results with valid file upload signatures. Instead of directly creating new DB.result records, it now calls create_result() to do the work. - Changed create_result() to take a name suffix - Factored key parsing into a function - Removed random-WU-name feature from create_work; names should be generated at a higher level - added a key-generation function to test.inc lib/ parse.C sched/ Makefile.in config.C,h make_work.C test/ test.inc test_loop.php tools/ add.C backend_lib.C,h create_work.C process_result_template.C David Oct 15 2002 - remove the idea of "dynamic result" generation (remove some DB fields and code relating to it) - remove the nresults_* fields from the workunit table.

So e.g. instead of #if HAVE_SIGNAL_H unix code #endif #ifdef _WIN32 win code #endif we should have #ifdef _WIN32 win code #else unix code #endif Any compilation that doesn't match anything should cause a compile-time error - change file_size(), dir_size(), CLIENT_STATE::total_disk_usage() etc. so that: 1) they report file size in double, not int 2) they return an error code, not a size overloaded with error code; size is return in reference param - All fopen()s should check for zero pointer and return ERR_FOPEN - Omit "this->" wherever it appears client/ app.C,h client_state.C,h client_types.C,h file_xfer.C http.C pers_file_xfer.C lib/ filesys.C,h test/ test.inc tools/ backend_lib.C,h create_work.C David Dec 6 2002 - fix bugs in get_local_ip_addr() (need to figure out why they were happening) Eric Dec 8, 2002 - added and tested HTTP proxy support (no SOCKS support yet) - proxy server is specified through environment variable HTTP_PROXY client/ client_state.C,h http.C,h net_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.C scheduler_op.C Hamid Dec 9,2002 - added field client_state to result - added some more functionality to repor_project_error() It now adds the following info to stderr_out of the result: message if any passed %d %d %d if download had failures "\ " %s " %d\n" " \n" if upload had failures same as above if coudln't start active task for result (in which err_num should be set) "%d\n" - The error mechanism right now is such that any failures regarding file_infos (download, upload or whatever) are recorded in the status of the file_infos and then garbage collect called report_project_error. However errors regarding starting and ending active tasks are reported from app.C and cs_apps.C.

This prevents hackers from adding entries to the DB with other peoples' email addresses. - Separate logic for update email address from update other user info; remove combinatorial logic (?) for update other user info configure (removed; generated from configure.in by autoconf) db/ db.h html_user/ create_account_action.php create_account_form.php edit_action.php (removed) edit_email_action.php (new) edit_email_form.php (new) edit_user_info.php (removed) edit_user_info_form.php (new) login_action.php user.inc util.inc David Feb 20 2003 - project preferences are now handled correctly, written/read to account file - fix bugs in web pages for editing prefs - change dont_run_on_batteries to run_on_batteries etc. - fix bug in test scripts where account file had wrong name apps/ upper_case.C client/ account.C,h client_state.C client_types.C cs_scheduler.C prefs.C,h doc/ client_files.html html_user/ confirm_email_change.php edit_user_info_action.php prefs.inc prefs_edit_project_action.php prefs_edit_project_form.php test/ test.inc test_uc.php David Feb 22 - API now passes both host and user credit to apps - API now passes team name to apps (scheduler RPC now returns it) - don't use malloc in get_free_slot - added fancier project-specific prefs for astropulse - fixed bugs in account creation - imported code to remove dangerous HTML tags from user-supplied text api/ boinc_api.C,h client/ app.C client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C hostinfo.C,h hostinfo_unix.C time_stats.C html_user/ account_setup.php account_setup_first_action.php download.inc htmlfilter.inc logout.php (new) prefs.inc project.inc project_specific_prefs_ap.inc (new) sanitize_html.inc team.inc team_edit_action.php util.inc sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h test/ make_project_ap.php test.inc Seth Feb 24 - changed windows graphics handling. client now has a child window in which all graphics are displayed. when an app is running, this window sends a message to the app telling it to draw on the window. api/ windows_opengl.cpp client/win/ wingui.C,h wingui_mainwindow.C,h wingui_sswindow.C,h (new) David Feb 25 2003 - Implemented network throughput limits, part of global prefs. There are separate limits for upload and download. Implementation: the NET_XFER_SET objects now has fields for 1) the max # bytes/sec up and down (from global prefs) 2) the limit on bytes that can be xferred this second Can go negative. If it's negative, don't include sockets in select(). Replenish every second. This replaces an implementation that didn't work - Reimplemented the way network throughput is measured. The old way measured throughput for each file xfer, and kept an average. This doesn't work with multiple simultaneous xfers. The new way uses a NET_STATS::poll() function. If there has been an active file xfer during the last poll period (new logic in NET_XFER_SET lets you find this out) then you add the duration of the polling period, and the number of bytes transferred. The reported throughput is averaged with throughput from previous sessions of the core client. - Increased file xfer blocksize from 4KB to 16KB - Got rid of dynamic buffer allocation in NET_XFER - Renamed "water days" to "work buf days" everywhere NOTE: clock() measure calling process CPU time, not time of day. Use time(0) if you want time of day. client/ client_state.C,h cs_scheduler.C file_xfer.C http.C main.C net_stats.C,h net_xfer.C,h pers_file_xfer.C prefs.C,h scheduler_op.C test_file_xfer.C test_http.C test_net_xfer.C test/ test.inc test_uc.php Eric Feb 25, 2003 - Added net transfer progress.

The client sets up a shared memory segment when starting the app. The app attaches to it and writes XML tags into a 4K text buffer every second. - The shared memory communication has been tested by hand under Windows and UNIX (Mac OS X). We should write test scripts for it to make sure. configure.in api/ boinc_api.C,h apps/ Makefile.in client/ app.C,h cs_apps.C lib/ shmem.C,h David Mar 18 2003 - Don't write signed_xml and xml_signature tags in the state file if they're empty strings (this eliminates malformed XML in state file) - Replace safe_strncpy(foo, "", sizeof(foo)) with strcpy(foo, ""). Reduce noise. client/ app.C client_state.C client_types.C file_xfer.C hostinfo.C http.C scheduler_op.C Eric March 19, 2003 - Moved OpenGL context creation/destruction outside of drawing loop.

Results are sent in random order, making it hard for hackers to get multiple results for the same WU - user-visible messages about files give names, not URLs - Changed all occurrences of "time test" and "speed test" to "CPU benchmark". Please use accurate, consistent terminology in the code. - changed command-line options: -skip_cpu_benchmarks instead of -no_time_tests -run_cpu_benchmarks instead of -run_speed_test client/ client_state.C,h file_names.h hostinfo.C,h net_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.C speed_stats.h db/ constraints.sql db.h db_mysql.C schema.sql html_user/ prefs.inc user.inc sched/ make_work.C test/ test_1sec.php test_backend.php test_uc.php tools/ backend_lib.C David Apr 3 2003 - added macro "safe_strcpy(x, y)" ** USE THIS INSTEAD OF safe_strncpy(x, y, sizeof(x)) - added macro "safe_strcat(x, y)" ** USE THIS INSTEAD OF strcat() - changed dynamically-allocated fields of SCHEDULER_REQUEST, SCHEDULER_REPLY to static That combination of the above fixes a bug where a long stderr_out could overwrite other fields of RESULT client/ app.C client_state.C client_types.C cs_scheduler.C hostinfo_unix.C http.C net_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.C scheduler_op.C doc/ index.html lib/ filesys.C util.C,h sched/ file_deleter.C file_upload_handler.C handle_request.C server_types.C,h David Apr 7 2003 - changed names of DB interface routines to get rid of conflict with SETI@home DB interface - changed name of "db.h" to "boinc_db.h" to remove conflict w/ SETI@home db/ db.h (removed) boinc_db.h (new) db_mysql.C sched/ *.C tools/ *.C Erik May 6 2003 - Added a notion of "transient" and "permanent" errors on file uploads. A permanent error is returned by the file upload handler if - the request is malformed - filename includes ".." - the signature is bad - the file size is larger than allowed PERS_FILE_XFER checks for this return from FILE_XFER and gives up immediately. - FILE_XFER now always parses the server response (not just for file size) - Added some missing error checks to FILE_XFER - Punted on the timezone-related ifdefs: added hardwired ifdefs for linux and unix. Need to revisit this - in PHP test library, add a provision for multiple files per application client/ file_xfer.C hostinfo_unix.C pers_file_xfer.C,h doc/ client.html index.html old_news.html (new) result.fig setiathome.jpg upload.html lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ file_upload_handler.C test/ test.inc Erik May 8 2003 - Added a new class SS_LOGIC that encapsulates the core client's screensaver-related logic. It tries to get graphics-capable apps to provide graphics, and if necessary it draws logo-based graphics or blanks the screen. - Changed ACTIVE_TASK.app_client_shm from a pointer to an object. NOTE: AVOID DYNAMIC ALLOCATION WHENEVER POSSIBLE - got rid of free_mem() stuff client/ Makefile.in app.C,h cs_apps.C ss_logic.C,h (new) lib/ Makefile.in app_ipc.C,h Erik May 13 2003 - Added a notion of "tentative" project. This means that the (URL, account ID) pair hasn't been verified, i.e. we haven't fetched the master page, found a scheduler, and done a scheduler op that verified the account ID. If anything fails for a tentative project, call project_add_failed(). in the cmdline version this prints an error message, deletes all evidence of the project, and exits. TODO: implement for GUI - Make write_account_file() into a member function of PROJECT. - Got rid of CLIENT_STATE::change_project(). The user must detach and attach. - CLIENT_STATE::quit_project() now takes a PROJECT*, not an int. Need to change the GUI code. - got rid of separate WIN_32 implementations of make_project_dir(), remove_project_dir(), make_slot_dir(). THIS IS THE WRONG LEVEL FOR PLATFORM-DEPENDENT CODE! Instead, added boinc_mkdir() and boinc_rmdir() - added implementation docs for screensaver logic - test_uc.php: wait for a second before running client. On fast computers the client runs before feeder has seeded shmem. client/ account.C,h client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C file_names.C main.C scheduler_op.C,h ss_logic.C win/ wingui.cpp wingui_mainwindow.cpp doc/ client_app.html client_app_graphic.html lib/ filesys.C,y test/ test_uc.php Erik May 14 2003 - added function to "reset" project (stop all current activities and delete everything except sticky files) - added function to "detach" from project (the above, plus deleting all files, the account file, and the project) client/ account.C client_state.C,h main.C pers_file_xfer.C lib/ util.C test/ test_uc.php Erik May 15 2003 - added cmdline options for show/detach/reset project - -update_prefs command now takes a URL - added license text to some files client/ account.C client_state.C,h lib/ util.C doc/ client.html Erik May 15 2003 - change NET_XFER::net_sleep() so that it does up to about .5 sec of I/O, rather than just one block per socket client/ net_xfer.C Erik May 16 2003 - set FILE_INFO::upload_offset to -1 before restarting file upload. This forces file size check, so that upload can resume with nonzero offset. NOTE: THE USE OF "SPECIAL VALUES" (LIKE -1) IS DISCOURAGED - don't set RESULT::state to NEW after parse. This caused completed results to start over. - PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer() is int, not bool - better messages on file transfer failure and project backoff - better message from scheduler if wrong major version - file upload handler logging is on by default client/ scheduler_op.C pers_file_xfer.C,h client_state.C file_xfer.C lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ file_upload_handler.C handle_request.C Eric May 16, 2003 - changed do_select to keep calling do_xfer for uploads until either a) the send buffers are full or b) 1 second has passed - changed variable name in Windows GUI code for clarity client/ net_xfer.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp Erik May 19 2003 - added support for user-selected files to be included as part of an app_version. If there is an element of the form X Y in a user's project preferences, then for every APP_VERSION that is sent to the user, elements of the form X' X ... and in the element X' Y are added to the app version's XML description, where X' is an escaped version of X. This can be used (for example) to allow applications to have user-specified images in their graphics - Handle it correctly if the "insert" part of a file transfer fails - The "main program" of an app version is the one labeled (not necessarily the first one) - Only files labeled are required to be signed - added copyright notice to some files - added sgets() for parsing a string that is made up of multiple lines - write MD5 checksum elements only if checksum is present - created escape_url_readable TODO: app_versions are currently treated as immutable by client.

Problem w/ proxy? - HTTP_OP_SET::poll(): if header read_reply() returns nonzero, set htp->io_ready to false (to avoid lots and lots of spurious recv()s) - in test scripts: if TEST_STOP_BEFORE_RUN is set, go into sleep loop rather than exiting (to avoid deleting the test setup) - factor out get_socket_error() client/ client_state.C cs_scheduler.C http.C main.C net_xfer.C,h scheduler_op.C sched/ handle_request.C main.C test/ testbase.py David Sept 5 2003 - changed DB interface to make it possible for an application to use different MySQL databases at the same time. A new class DB_CONN represents a connection to a database. Old functions like boinc_db_open() etc. are members of this class. The connection to the BOINC database is represented by by a global object "boinc_db" of this class.

Also means that unlink()s should always succeed - file deleter: print retval of unlink() (should always be zero) sched/ file_deleter.C transitioner.C Karl 2003/09/15 - fixed transitioner bug where usage of `unsigned int' instead of signed int caused 400k results to be generated. Sched/ transitioner.C Eric K. 16-Sep-2003 - added "const" qualifiers to prototype for create_work and some others where appropriate. I didn't fix all the API routines where parameters should be const. Using C++ makes it important to get these right. tools/backend_lib.[Ch] tools/create_work.C tools/process_result_template.C Jeff 2003/09/17 No code changes. This is the branch point for the seti beta. The tag is: setiathome-4.xx_all_platforms_beta for both seti_boinc and boinc. They both make on solaris without serious error and the resulting seti client links without error with the resulting boinc libs. Karl,Eric Heien 2003/09/18 - fixed some pre-ANSI C sched/ transitioner.C tools/ create_work.C David Sept 21 2003 - Added mechanism for marking results as COULDNT_SEND: When the scheduler finds that a result is infeasible for a host, it increments the "infeasible_count" in the work array. When the feeder finds that too many results in the array have nonzero infeasible_count, it marks some of them as COULDNT_SEND and removes them from the array db/ boinc_db.h sched/ feeder.C handle_request.C sched_shmem.h David Sept 21 2003 - Partly debugged the above changes: - The feeder's result enumeration should have no limit; otherwise it may enumerate the same results over and over - If the infeasible_count of a result a threshold (MAX_INFEASIBLE_COUNT) the feeder marks it as couldnt_send. This prevents a situation where results sit in the work array forever, their infeasible_count approaching infinity - Added show_shmem to sched/ Makefile, and fleshed it out a bit - Show hostID correctly when get RPC from wrong major version NOTE: still haven't exercised the case where a result is marked COULDNT_SEND sched/ Makefile.am feeder.C handle_request.C show_shmem.C Eric K 9/22/03 Modified DB_CONN::open() to support "db_name@host" syntax for remote database connections. db/db_base.C David Sept 23 2003 - Don't reference-count WUs for results that are ready to report (since don't need their input files anymore) NOTE: this means that RESULT.wup may be zero. Much check before dereferencing. - Changed "ready_to_ack" to "ready_to_report" (Ack is server->client, not client->server) - Changed "server_ack" to "got_server_ack" - Moved CLIENT_STATE integrity-check code to a new file (check_state.C) In general it would be nice to move stuff out of client_state.C; It's a hodge-podge currently client/ Makefile.am client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C check_state.C (new) Eric K 9/24/03 - Create an XML entity encoder/decoder for single byte entities. In new files lib/xml_util.[Ch]. Encoder will make the following translations. '>' => ">" '<' => "<" '&' => "&" "'" => "'" '"' => """ other unprintable -> "&#nnnd;" The decoder recognizes a larger number of translations for single byte entities found in XML/HTML. - Added check for header to configure scripts. (Used by xml_util.[Ch] if found). lib/xml_util.[Ch] lib/Makefile.am configure.ac David Sept 27 2003 - add app_name to APP_INIT_DATA structure (so that an app can know its own name, and in particular so that we can use it to title its window) api/ boinc_api.h windows_opengl.C client/ app.C lib/ app_ipc.C,h David Sept 27 2003 - added a program "wu_check" that sees whether input files of unsent or in-progress results are actually on disk sched/ Makefile.am wu_check.C (new) Eric K Sept 29 2003 - Fixed bug that cause a encoded null to be appended to strings in xml_encode() lib/xml_util.C Karl 2003/09/28 - python work py/Boinc/ database.py setup_project.py tools/ dbcheck_files_exist David Sept 30 2003 - Core client: if get 404 error (not found) when downloading file, treat it as permanent error. (not tested) api/ boinc_api.C,h client/ file_xfer.C,h http.C,h pers_file_xfer.C lib/ error_numbers.h David Sept 30 2003 - Move graphics-related code from boinc_api.C to graphics_api.C - Don't use the preprocessor symbol BOINC_APP_GRAPHICS in api/ api/ boinc_api.C graphics_api.C,h windows_opengl.C x_opengl.h apps/ upper_case.C David Sept 30 2003 - Undid checkin of 9/23. Reference count all WUs, and can assume that result->wup is always valid. I can't remember why we did this, but it creates too many problems. - in Windows GUI, if a result had an error in download or upload, display status as "Download failed" instead of "Download" etc. client/ client_state.C cs_scheduler.C win/wingui_mainwindow.cpp Eric Oct 1 2003 11:15 am - Fixed compile problems on solaris. - redid graphics_api.h entirely. C'mon people we use automake for a reason. Use the macros in config.h! - Moved OpenGL and header and library finding to a macro file sah_grx.m4 (an identical macro file exists in seti_boinc) - Will verify it works on windows in the next hour or so Makefile.in aclocal.m4 config.h.in configure configure.ac graphics_api.C graphics_api.h m4/sah_grx.m4 David Oct 2 2003 - Added code to limit frame rate in either or both of two ways: 1) max frames per second 2) upper bound on rendering CPU time as a fraction or real time NOTE: currently these limits are hardware in the code. Need to put them in preferences. api/ graphics_api.C,h windows_opengl.C Eric Oct 2 2003 -moved xml_indent() from seti_boinc/db/sqlrow.[cpp,h] to i boinc/lib/xml_util.[C,h] -fixed problems with graphics_api.h api/graphics_api.h lib/xml_util.[Ch] Karl 2003/10/02 - rewrote make_project and related; a lot of restructuring: - make_project only creates the project and database but doesn't add platform, app, app_version, or core_version. Use `add' for these. - database actions are through MySQLdb, removing need for mysql client binary. tools/ make_project add update_versions upgrade (new) py/Boinc/ configxml.py database.py setup_project.py tools.py test/ testbase.py test_uc.py sched/ boinc_config.py (removed) db/ constraints.sql doc/ single_host_server.php Karl 2003/10/02 - made C parsing of config.xml more flexible (allow multiple tags per line or tags on multiple lines) - made config.xml and run_state.xml pretty sched/ sched_config.C sched_config.h lib/ parse.C parse.h py/ configxml.py David Oct 4 2003 - throttled_app_render() returns true iff it rendered anything. This lets the caller do swapbuffers only if needed - app_render() now returns void - added functions that read graphics files (JPEG, PPM, BMP, TGA) and create textures (moved from SETI@home) api/ graphics_api.C,h gutil.C,h windows_opengl.C lib/ xml_util.C David Oct 6 2003 - Created class MOVING_TEXT_PANEL (in boinc/api/gutil.h) to do Astropulse-type text display - Created class TEXTURE_DESC (same place) to represent an OpenGL texture (including its ID and size). - Modify draw_texture() to not change the aspect ratio of the picture; it shrinks the image in one dimension or the other, and centers it in the allotted space - Add a GRAPH_DRAW_STYLE field to REDUCED_ARRAY - Eliminate methods of REDUCED_ARRAY that take a style argument api/ graphics_api.C gutil.C,h reduce.C,h Karl 2003/10/06 - client release 2.04 Karl 2003/10/06 - transitioner: log every state transition, and check return value for every update() sched/ transitioner.C David Oct 6 2003 - Don't send two results from the same WU in a single RPC Note: this is a weak but possibly sufficient step towards not sending multiple results from the same WU to one user. - Scheduler: before updating a result, reread it from the database. What's in shared memory may be way out of date. E.g. it may no longer be in server state UNSENT. Hopefully this fixes the missing-input-file bug!! sched/ handle_request.C David Oct 6 2003 - added "repair" option to wu_check sched/ wu_check.C David Oct 8 2003 - added "present" flag to TEXTURE_DESC - fixed function names: double_to_ydhms() -> ndays_to_string() get_byte_string -> nbytes_to_string() api/ boinc_api.C gutil.C,h client/ win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp wingui_piecectrl.cpp lib/ util.C,h David Oct 8 2003 - add low-detail option to WU display html_ops/ db_action.php db_form.php db_ops.php Oliver Oct 8 2003 - fixed reduced graph display - fixed opengl resize bug /api/ recuce.c gutil.c windows_opengl.c David Oct 8 2003 - made draw, CreateTextureJPG etc. into member functions of TEXTURE_DESC - added xalign, yalign args to TEXTURE_DESC::draw() - attempted to turn off rendering when window is hidden (don't think I succeeded) api/ gutil.C,h windows_opengl.C Oliver Oct 9 2003 - fixed error handling when jpeglib fails api/ gutil.C Karl 2003/10/08 - tests: fixed bug re user global prefs - tests: fixed checking of result outputs - tests: fixed min_quorum=2 bug py/ setup_project.py test/ testbase.py test_uc.py - transitioner: fixed bug in sscan_hex_data() with \r or other whitespace - transitioner: log more - file_upload_handler: log more lib/ crypt.C sched/ file_upload_handler.C transitioner.C David Oct 10 2003 - made STARFIELD CLASS - implement tickmarks for RIBBON_GRAPH api/ gutil.C,h David Oct 10 2003 - various web stuff - "-repair" option for wu_check html_ops/ db_action.php db_form.ph db_ops.inc html_user/ white.css, black.css (new) Oliver Oct 10 2003 - fixed surface drawing bug - fixed jpeg loading bug - updated primitives (progress bar. etc.) to have public pos field api/ gutil.c,h graphics_api.c reduce.c windows_opengl.c Karl 2003/10/11 - Astropulse: output in index by samples, rather than bytes + fft bin; - indicate that output is finished; also make it valid XML - fixed BOINC graphics api header problems with autoconf Astropulse/client/ ap_client_main.C ap_fileio.C ap_params.h Astropulse/m4/ sah_grx.m4 - BOINC: fixed make distcheck problem sched/ Makefile.am David Oct 12 2003 - add "Confirm before accept executable" flag to global prefs - Implement said flag in cmdline client: - add "approval_pending" flag to FILE_INFO - don't count a file as present if it has approval pending - set approval pending flag on new exec files if "confirm_executable" is set in global prefs TODO: implement in Win GUI; IMPORTANT!! client/ client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_files.C main.C prefs_file_xfer.C html_user/ prefs.inc white.css Karl 2003-10-13 - removed some graphics stuff from non-graphics files. Split graphics source files into separate library libboinc_graphics_api.a api/ boinc_api.C lib/ Makefile.am api/ Makefile.am Oliver Oct 13 2003 - stars now draw in visible pyramid api/ gutil.C,h David Oct 14 2003 - don't call boinc_finish_opengl() in boinc_finish()!! - max frame rate and max graphics CPU are accessible to app (via global variables boinc_max_fps and boinc_max_gfx_cpu_frac) - in windows_opengl.C, moved InitGL() and app_init_gl() calls from SetMode() to start of win_graphics_event_loop() (just want to call these once, right?) - in windows_opengl.C: if in standalone mode and get WM_CLOSE event, actually exit (makes debugging easier). api/ boinc_api.C graphics_api.C,h gutil.C windows_opengl.C Oliver Oct 14 2003 - stars now draw in visible pyramid with original coordinate system - axis draws vertices in correct CCW order - added font width function api/ gutil.C,h reduce.c windows_opengl.C David Oct 14 2003 - extended MOVING_TEXT_PANEL interface to let you draw text on particular line numbers, and get the coords the start of a line number api/ gutil.C,h Karl 2003-10-14 - makefiles: - fixed some issues when building outside of source tree - fixed some missing 'make dist' files - fixed "ln -s start stop" bug */Makefile.am Karl 2003-10-14 - replaced C country_select program with a php function - replaced "None or International" with "None" and "International" lib/ countries.C (removed) Makefile.am tools/ country_select.C (removed) Makefile.am html_user/ countries.inc (added) util.inc Karl 2003-10-14 - added Rank column to top users; made presentation consistent for top teams/users/hosts - show number of results valid, successful, total (instead of just total) html_user/ top_teams.php top_users.php top_hosts.php team.inc user.inc host.inc David 15 Oct 2003 - if user rejects executable, mark result as failed (not tested) client/ cs_apps.C main.C doc/ graphics.php lib/ error_numbers.h David 16 Oct 2003 - add "userid" to result table - send at most one result per WU per user NOTE: since this change breaks test_uc.py and other tests, it's enabled by a tag in the config file; make sure this is present in production projects db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql constraints.sql sched/ handle_request.C David 16 Oct 2003 - moved client/win/windows_cpp.h to client/cpp.h, since it's included (and needed) in UNIX as well as Windows Oliver 16 Oct 2003 - Implemented scaling factor to center objects - Fixed starfields - Right justified text api/ graphics_api.C gutil.C,h windows_opengl.C Karl 2003-10-16 - updated python database API with new workunit.userid field - refactored database.py into db_base.py and merged in changes from CourseSurvey system - improved object caching and implemented lazy lookup of relational objects; database-heavy python programs should now be much faster - added 1 to config.XML in make_project (but not testbase) py/Boinc/ db_base.py (new) database.py setup_project.py test/ testbase.py David 17 Oct 2003 - db_base::lookup() returns an error if >1 rows satisfy the query - return #defined error numbers in db_base.C - add more info to CGI log entries db/ db_base.C lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ handle_request.C Oliver 17 Oct 2003 - small label coord tweak api/ reduce.c David 18 Oct 2003 - factored some code out of client_state.C into new files client/ client_state.C,h cs_account.C,h (renamed from account.C,h) cs_benchmark.C (new) cs_prefs.C (new) cs_statefile.C (new) main.C maybe_gui.h (removed) David 18 Oct 2003 - When reset (or detach from) a process, wait for running applications to exit before doing other things (e.g., deleting files, which will fail if processes have them open) Implementation: exit_tasks() etc. now take a PROJECT* arg - When a master file fetch fails on a tentative project (e.g. bad URL) avoid a situation where we remove the HTTP_OP, then detach_project() tries to remove it a second time - print messages when reset/detach client/ app.C,h client_state.C,h prefs.C scheduler_op.C win/ wingui.h David 19 Oct 2003 - fixed file names client/ speed_stats.C,h (old) cpu_benchmark.C,h (new) Karl 2003-10-19 - maybe fixed "screensaver blanks immediately" bug due to uninitialized variable - if blank time is <=0 or unset: don't blank (instead of blanking immediately). client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 20 Oct 2003 - fixed bug that prevented screensaver from launching core client win_screensaver.cpp Karl 2003-10-20 - BOINC client release 2.05 - added glut32.dll to BOINC distribution David 20 Oct 2003 - replace return -1's with error codes client/ app.C cs_benchmark.C hostinfo.C net_xfer.C lib/ app_ipc.C crypt.C error_numbers.h filesys.C md5_file.C parse.C shmem.C util.C sched/ handle_request.C sched_shmem.C validate_util.C wu_check.C David 20 Oct 2003 - changed CPU benchmark code to store all times as doubles. This might fix the "negative fpops/sec" bug client/ cpu_benchmark.C cs_benchmark.C David 20 Oct 2003 - changed overflowing integer calculation in CPU checkpoint code. This definitely will fix the negative fpops problem client/ cpu_benchmark.C,h Karl 2003-10-21 - BOINC client release 2.06 - Astropulse client release 2.06 David 22 Oct 2003 - trunc_stderr_stdout() had a typo: it never truncated stdout.txt client/ cs_files.C David 22 Oct 2003 - fixed bug that caused project disk usage to be reported as zero - Added debugging printfs (enabled by #define DEBUG) to wingui_mainwindow.cpp. These write to C:/temp/core.txt. - In CMyApp::InitInstance(), changed 2nd arg of CreateMutex from false to true. This matches "1 instance" code samples from web. Thought it might fix startup bug - no. - Added debugging printfs (enabled by #define DEBUG) into screensaver; causes it to write info to C:/temp/boinc_scr.txt - Removed CREATE_NO_WINDOW and IDLE_PRIORITY flags from CreateProcess() call in screensaver. These aren't listed in the MSDN man page; are they needed? - slight change to startup logic in screensaver: - send it a BOINC_SS_START message only if it's already running (not needed if start it ourselves, since we give it -saver arg) - don't wait for 3 seconds after starting it - In the cmdline passed to the core client from screensaver, make argv[0] the real path of the executable. Thought this might fix startup bug - no. - Change "start_saver" to "started_by_screensaver". Truth in advertising. client/ client_state.C,h cs_cmdline.C win/ win_screensaver.cpp wingui_mainwindow.cpp lib/ filesys.C David 24 Oct 2003 - complete Bob's addition of SETI@home "grandfather" fields to DB db/ boinc_db.C,h constraints.sql schema.sql sched/ handle_request.C Oliver 24 Oct 2003 - updated reduced array class to contain the name of the labels. they are set when the reduced array is created api/ reduce.h,C David 24 Oct 2003 - db_dump generates valid XML - fixed bugs in boinc_db.C (team parse) db/ boinc_db.C sched/ db_dump.C Karl 2003-10-24 - fixed missing comma typos db/ constraints.sql Karl 2003-10-25 - client GUI: fixed context menu bug client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 25 Oct 2003 - removed code that caps backoff count at one TODO: we still need to reexamine the backoff policy, so that multiple file failures don't lead to huge backoffs - moved OpenGL init calls from the start of the event loop back to SetMode, undoing an earlier change. Turns out the need to be in SetMode because it creates a new window every time. This should fix the bug that cause Astropulse to show no graphics. TODO: make sure that when an application window is hidden, no rendering work gets done. api/ windows_opengl.C client/ scheduler_op.C Karl 2003-10-25 - updated_versions: don't be so verbose unless "-v" verbose command-line option is given - if a directory contains an executable, add the first executable found, and bundle all other files as non-executables. - process_executable_file(): added mechanisms for adding non-executable files tools/ update_versions py/Boinc/ tools.py David 27 Oct 2003 - Parse project-specific prefs correctly (i.e. based on venue) These prefs are read from account files. Account files are read before the client state file is parsed. This presented a problem because the host venue, which is needed to decide which project prefs to use, is kept in the client state file. So I added a new function, parse_venue(), that gets the host venue from the state file; this is done before parsing account files. - Also added element to account file so that we can display that correctly in message about project prefs api/ windows_opengl.C client/ client_state.C,h client_types.C cs_statefile.C pers_file_xfer.h prefs.C Oliver 27 Oct 2003 - Fixed efficiency bugs in starfield api/ gutil.C,h Eric K 27 Oct 2003 - xml_indent() is now limited to a max of 40 spaces. lib/ xml_util.h David 27 Oct 2003 - let users see list of all their results - added db_dump to list of programs updated by update_project html_user/ host.inc results.php (new) results_host.php (deleted) user.inc py/Boinc/ setup_project.py Karl 2003-10-27 - installshield: add "BOINC_gui -min" to startup folder win_build/ boinc_installshield.zip - process_app_version: write tags; open_name is parsed from disk filename 'open_name=url_filename' (url_filename is the basename of file as copied to download/) - print objects as they are committed (for database ID) tools/ update_versions py/Boinc/ tools.py - upgrade: restart BOINC scheduler daemons automatically tools/ upgrade - BOINC 2.07 release - Astropulse 2.07 release (...) - SETI@Home 2.01 release Karl 2003-10-27 - fixed bug in assuming client_state.XML always exists (it doesn't, on a clean install) - BOINC 2.08 release David 28 Oct 2003 - login form: keyboard focus is on auth input field html_user/ util.inc Eric K 28 Oct 2003 - for machines with sysinfo, host.p_vendor and host.p_model are now meaningful. client/hostinfo_unix.C Karl 2003-10-28 - added "const" to API function calls - created "string" (as opposed to char[]) version of API function calls M api/boinc_api.h M api/mfile.C M lib/app_ipc.C M lib/app_ipc.h Oliver 29 Oct 2003 - fixed improperly scaled logos api/ gutil.C,h David 28 Oct 2003 - app library: don't access shared memory if it's not there (should keep non-standalone version from crashing when run in isolation) api/ windows_opengl.C Karl 2003-10-29 - removed test_sanity check from configure - updated distribution file lists - updated installation program to get rid of country_select configure.ac */Makefile.am tools/ make_project David 30 Oct 2003 - On call to CreateEvent() to make "event" object for core client to ask app to quit (Windows) changed ManualReset argument to false. This fixes a bug where, after resetting a project, all apps get quit signal immediately - Change CLIENT_STATE::report_result_error() so that it takes a format string and varargs client/ app.C client_state.C,h pers_file_xfer.C David 30 Oct 2003 - API writes to stderr if get quit request - Include signal numbers, error codes in messages about process exit api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C client_state.C cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C David 30 Oct 2003 - When get new project preferences, notify (via shared-memory msg) all running apps of that project. New graphics prefs will take effect immediately. lib/ app_ipc.C,h client/ app.C David 31 Oct 2003 - clarified types of seti_* fields (cpu time is double, last result time is int) - fixed bug in project prefs that caused unbounded extraneous CRs db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html_user/ index.php prefs.inc prefs.php prefs_edit_action.php stats.php (new) David 31 Oct 2003 - Added a mechanism allowing applications to change their graphics "on the fly" in response to new project preferences: - Added a new message type to the core->app graphics segment - When the graphics framework (windows_opengl.C) gets this message, it calls an application function app_graphics_reread_prefs(). This function can call boinc_parse_init_data_file() (see below) to get the new prefs - Core client: when get new project preferences, write new init_data.xml files for all running apps, and send them messages. New functions: ACTIVE_TASK::write_app_init_file() ACTIVE_TASK::request_reread_prefs() ACTIVE_TASK_SET::request_reread_prefs(PROJECT*) - name changes: old new boinc_init_opengl boinc_init_graphics boinc_finish_opengl boinc_finish_graphics app_init_gl app_graphics_init app_render app_graphics_render app_resize app_graphics_resize REDUCED_ARRAY::init init_data REDUCED_ARRAY::init_draw init_display:$ - changed graphics objects (PROGRESS, PROGRESS2D, RIBBON_GRAPH) to use init() functions instead of constructor for setup; changed STARFIELD::build_stars() so that it can be called repeatedly - factored code to read init_data.xml into a new function boinc_parse_init_data_file() - moved tImageJPG out of the .h file - it's not interface api/ boinc_api.C,h graphics_api.C,h gutil.C,h reduce.C,h windows_opengl.C client/ app.C,h cs_scheduler.C doc/ graphics.sxd (new) graphics.png (new) lib/ app_ipc.C parse.C,h David 31 Oct 2003 - boinc_resolve_filename() (string version) physical name defaults to virtual name lib/ app_ipc.C David 1 Nov 2003 - core client: when get new project prefs, use PROJECT::parse_account_file() to extract the correct venue-specific variant client/ client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C David 2 Nov 2003 - Changed the way that user-supplied files (e.g. logos and images) work. OLD WAY: (see checkin by "Erik", May 19 2003) the scheduling server scans the user's project prefs and inserts and elements into the element, making it look like the user-supplied files are associated with the app. This necessitated the slightly kludgy "optional" attribute of FILE_INFO, so that slow-downloading user-supplied files wouldn't defer work indefinitely. NEW WAY: The scheduling server is not involved. PROJECT now has list "user_files" of FILE_REFS FILE_INFO now has an attribute "is_user"file" - When parse project prefs from account file, or when get new project preferences from server, convert elements to entries in project.user_files - new function ACTIVE_TASK::link_user_files() makes links from slot dir to all user files that are present - when the download of a user file completes, tell running apps to reread prefs (they'll find the user file now) - garbage collection reference-counts user files - got rid of "optional" mechanism With this change, user-supplied images in graphics are updated dynamically when the user edits prefs on web, then does "Get Preferences" in core client - Handling of completed file transfers moved from PERS_FILE_XFER::poll() to CLIENT_STATE::handle_pers_file_xfers(). (this job of PERS_FILE_XFER is to transfer the file, not deal with its contents) - changed benchmarks defaults from 1GFLOPs to 10MFLOPs; prevents slow computers from being inundated with work api/ gutil.C (fixed code formatting) client/ app.C,h client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_account.C cs_apps.C cs_benchmark.C cs_files.C cs_scheduler.C cs_statefile.C pers_file_xfer.C David 2 Nov 2003 - removed code in scheduling server for parsing project prefs and inserting elements into elements lib/ parse.C sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h Karl 2003-11-02 - changed GUI titles: - "computation done" is now "computation error" - "results uploaded" is now "ready to report" client/ gui_titles.C - BOINC core client release 2.09 Karl 2003-11-03 - installer: ask whether BOINC should run at system startup (default yes) - Moved installation files from win_build/boinc_installer.zip to win_build/installer/ - automate changing version numbers win_build/ boinc_installer.zip (removed) win_build/installer/* added (115 files) Karl 2003-11-04 - trivial validator: check for a minimum CPU time sched/ validate_trivial.C David 4 Nov 2003 - scheduler now respects disk usage limits. Scheduler request message now includes BOINC disk usage, both total and for this project. The scheduler parses user's global preferences to get disk-related prefs, and computes the max storage that can be used. It will send only as many results as fit within this limit. NOTE: this is still deficient in several ways: - it assumes that all results will use all their storage simultaneously. It doesn't take into account that some results may use large storage while running, but not before or after. - it doesn't take into account storage that has been committed (to this or other projects) but not yet in use. - there's no mechanism for enforcing resource shares for storage, or for dynamic adjustment - print exit codes in both dec and hex client/ app.C client_state.h cs_prefs.C cs_scheduler.C pers_file_xfer.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h David 4 Nov 2003 - change project file to get cmdline version to compile (didn't test it) client/ client_state.C win/ win_net.cpp win_build/ boinc_cli.dsp boinc_gui.dsp David 5 Nov 2003 - The following changes fix core client crashes that occur when reset a project, then quickly detach from the project while downloads are occurring. In once instance, this produced a state file that caused the client to crash each time it started up. - when parse an ACTIVE_TASK in state file, verify that the corresponding result is in the right state (RESULT_FILES_DOWNLOADED, with got_server_ack and ready_to_report false) - when parse a RESULT in state file, make sure it's consistent: in particular, if got_server_ack or ready_to_report is true, the state must be RESULT_FILES_UPLOADED - CLIENT_STATE::detach_project(): delete all the project's FILE_INFOs (reset_project() doesn't do this) client/ app.C client_state.C client_types.C lib/ error_numbers.h David 5 Nov 2003 - improve clarity of messages about prefs (e.g. say "your defaults" instead of just "defaults") client/ client_state.C client_types.C prefs.C David 6 Nov 2003 - cleaned up CPU time chaos OLD: An app measures and reports its CPU time when it calls boinc_time_to_checkpoint(), which may be infrequent. The reported CPU time is for the whole process (including graphics thread: wrong) If the core client doesn't get a message within 5 seconds, it measures app CPU time externally, with ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_os() (this can cause reported CPU time to jump up and down). Ambiguous function boinc_cpu_time(): does it return time for calling thread only? time since WU start? NEW: An app measures and reports its CPU time every 1 sec, from the timer interrupt. The reported CPU time is only for the worker thread. Replace boinc_cpu_time() with: boinc_thread_cpu_time(): CPU time of calling thread (also used by graphics_cpi.C to measure rendering time) boinc_wu_cpu_time(): CPU time of WU so far (for graphics thread) Notes: - The app no longer needs to call boinc_time_to_checkpoint() with any regularity - the timer interrupt handler runs on a different thread, so we record the worker thread handle. - use double rather than time_t in calculation of estimated completion - Code cleanup: removed some declarations from boinc_api.h (Don't declare internal functions in a .h file!) removed using_opengl, write_frac_done made things static that should be static removed "externs" from .C files (SHOULD NEVER EXIST) api/ boinc_api.C,h graphics.C,h windows_opengl.C client/ app.C,h David 6 Nov 2003 - default value for disk_min_free_gb is now 0.1 (100 MB) - scheduler writes detailed msg when get insufficient disk condition; also writes explanatory msg to user - Admin interfaces: order WUs/results by descending ID in general html_ops/ db_action.php db_form.php db_ops.inc index.php html_user/ prefs.inc sched/ handle_request.C Eric 7 Nov 2003 - Fixed UNIX (Mac) compile problems api/boinc_api.C apps/upper_case.C David 6 Nov 2003 (note: Eric's on the other side of the Int. Date Line) - Fixed bug that cause CPU time to jump whenever Get Preferences. It's because the app is getting a new aid.wu_cpu_time as part of reread_prefs; this is incorrectly added to the thread's CPU time. Solution: make a copy of aid.wu_cpu_time at startup and use the copy. api/ boinc_api.C David 7 Nov 2003 - Added "remember authenticator" checkbox to user login (sends cookie with 1 year expiration) - General preferences use defined symbols so field descriptions are same in both display and edit versions - In admin web interface, make SQL clauses feature work html_ops/ db_ops.inc html_user/ index.php login_action.php prefs.inc util.inc logout.php David 7 Nov 2003 - Were using the wrong block size in disk size calculation (off by a factor of 16 on Solaris) api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C lib/ filesys.C David 7 Nov 2003 - In make_work, need to initialize many fields of the WU being created.

Show error code. - don't start a scheduler RPC if we're suspended - don't show parse error messages for empty lines in scheduler reply - if reset a project during a scheduler RPC, set the scheduler_op state to IDLE (else will never do another RPC) api/ graphics_api.C apps/ upper_case.C client/ client_state.C cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C lib/ filesys.C Eric 10 Nov 2003 - readded statfs support for systems that don't have statvfs (i.e. Mac) lib/filesys.C David 9 Nov 2003 - boinc_init(): initialize last_checkpoint_cpu_time. This is why reported CPU time would sometimes go to zero - Upper case app: report fraction done like you're supposed to - Write checkpoint CPU time in %.15e format. SHOULD ALWAYS USE THIS FOR FLOATING PT NUMBERS - released version 2.06 of upper_case in the client test project. Also changed est FP ops in that DB so that clients get few results api/ boinc_api.C apps/ upper_case.C win_builc/ upper_case.dsp David 10 Nov 2003 - released versions of Astropulse (2.10) and SETI@home (2.08) for Windows. Karl 2003-11-11 - compile fixes lib/ xml_util.C David 11 Nov 2003 - added "appid" field to result (redundant copy of WU's appid) - added index on result (appid, received_time desc) - changed admin web interface to show recent results broken down by application - sched_shmem: omit app versions with wrong major version db/ boinc_db.C,h constraints.sql schema.sql html_ops/ db_action.php db_form.php db_ops.php index.php html_user/ util.inc sched/ sched_shmem.C tools/ backend_lib.C David 11 Nov 2003 - modify the scheduler so that if a client requests work, and there are unsent results, but none can be sent, then the client gets an explanatory message: either - no app version available - insufficient disk - insufficient memory - host is too slow This involved creating a WORK_REQ structure that gets passed around, to avoid huge numbers of arguments - modify the scheduler so that if either 1) the shared-mem segment is absent or 2) the DB can't be opened then it writes a "project temporarily down for maintenance" message instead of just exiting sched/ handle_request.C main.C David 11 Nov 2003 - if get MD5 error, print expected and computed checksum client/ cs_files.C David 12 Nov 2003 - commented, cleanup up and fixed SqlQueryString (db_ops.inc) It now correctly passes clauses in URLs, etc. client/ cs_files.C html_ops/ db_action.php db_ops.inc Karl 2003-11-17 - BOINC release 2.10 for windows, Linux, solaris2.7, solaris2.8 Karl 2003-11-20 - updated translation files client/translation/ language.ini.fr langauge.ini.nl Karl 2003-11-21 client/translation/ langauge.ini.de Karl 2003-11-21 - fixed recursive boinc_thread_cpu_time typo bug that resulted in loss of client app functionality (bug noticed by Nuno Ferreira ) api/ boinc_api.C Karl 2003-11-22 - made change to get_filesystem_info() that reportedly is all that's needed to get BOINC working on NT4.

As a result the CPU time of a result was, in general, returning to zero after a reboot. - ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll(): if any task's checkpoint_cpu_time has changed, trigger a client state file write - renamed ACTIVE_TASK_SET::get_cpu_times() -> get_status_msgs() Also, this function now returns boolean: whether any checkpoint_cpu_time has changed - renamed ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_shmem() -> get_status_msg() (since the message includes more than just CPU time) - removed ACTIVE_TASK.last_status_msg_time (not used) - factored out logic to compute frac_rate_of_change and put it in a separate function (ACTIVE_TASK::estimate_frac_rate_of_change()) - print app version for results in GUI client/ app.C,h client_types.C,h win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp Karl 2003-11-25 - wrote release notes doc/ ssl_client_release_instructions.txt David 25 Nov 2003 - Fixed bug that could cause a workunit to be sent to a client without any corresponding result. I'm not sure what happens then but it can't be good. Here's the deal: OLD: retval = add_wu_to_reply() // returns error if no app version if (retval) continue reread result from DB if result.state != UNSENT continue // if this happens, we'll send the WU but not the result NEW: found = find_app_version() if (!found) continue; reread result from DB if result.state != UNSENT continue add_wu_to_reply() sched/ handle_request.C David 25 Nov 2003 - Changed db_dump to generate valid XML.

(overrides yesterday's non-fix) PROJECT now has separate fields for project_prefs (entire prefs, include venue variants) project_specific_prefs (only project specific, and only for current venue). These had been confused before. The account_*.xml file has the project_prefs, enclosed in a element - updated document about account files - Changed project prefs from char[MAX_BLOB_LEN] to string, and added variant of copy_element_contents() for string. client/ app.C client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C scheduler_ops.C doc/ client_files.php lib/ parse.C,h Karl 2003-11-28 - fixed unix help for -update_prefs client/ cs_cmdline.C David 2003-11-28 - changed date/time display in Windows to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 28 Nov 2003 - added "signature" field to user table; when making forum postings, users have the option of appending signature db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html_user/ edit_user_info_action.php edit_user_info_form.php index.php util.inc Karl 2003-11-28 - fixed problems in testbase.py: - changed workunit fpops due to change in client default benchmark - changed app_version major version to come from version.MAJOR_VERSION - added new columns to python database interface - test_uc.py (and thus 'make check') pass now. test/ testbase.py py/Boinc/ database.py - client: close write socket when done writing (but still reading) by using shutdown(2).

Summary: - config.xml has a mandatory config.host element (for the project's main server) and optional task.host elements (default is main host) - Host X has its own run state file, run_state_X.xml - Host X has its own pid directory, pid_dir_X/ - Host X has its own log directory, log_X/ - Host X has its own lock file for "start", start.lock.X - run_daemons() etc. run tasks only for the current host - When run on the main host, start builds a list of other hosts and runs itself (with same cmdline, using ssh) on each of the other hosts. Notes: 1) I didn't add * capability; it's not clear that we need this 2) Output formatting could be improved - Changed the scheduler to log to ../log_X/cgi.log (X=hostname) sched/ main.C start David 7 Dec 2003 - Fixed bugs involving buffer overflow of BLOB fields. These can be up to 65536 bytes in MySQL. MAX_BLOB_SIZE was defined as 4K. strcpy2() didn't do any buffer size checking. A team description was over 8K long. This caused db_dump to crash. Solution: - strcpy2() now defined as a macro that uses the sizeof() its destination, and doesn't overwrite it. - MAX_BLOB_SIZE replaced with 2 symbols: MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE for fields used by BOINC defined as 4K so as to not increase shmem usage LARGE_BLOB_SIZE for fields with user-supplied text defined as 64K db/ boinc_db.h db_base.C,h html_user/ result.inc white.css sched/ assimilator.C db_dump.C file_deleter.C handle_request.C make_work.C server_types.C transitioner.C tools/ add.C backend_lib.C create_work.C process_result_template.C David 7 Dec 2003 - Changed db_dump so that it doesn't chdir() into the output directory (it it does, and it crashes, that makes its core file visible to the world, and that may contain private info) sched/ db_dump.C David 7 Dec 2003 - add sort options for FAQ questions, answers - added create_time field to "thread" table (so can sort questions by time asked) - increase href limit in HMTL sanitizer to 150 chars - simply time difference display db/ schema.sql html_user/ sanitize_html.inc time.inc forum/ forum.inc forum.php help_desk.php thread.php Jeff 8 Dec 2003 - Fixed the ifdef's surrounding the typedef of socklen_t.

However, on solaris you cannot just say gcc -static as there are dynamic only versions of some needed libs, namely libdl and libaio. I tried to use the -Xlinker gcc option which theoretically should allow us to specify the link (collect2) line in precise detail. But -lstdc++ kept showing up twice with one occurrence being outside my -Xlinker -B -Xlinker static directive. So I hand crafted a collect2 line and placed it in a file - collect2_line. Sourcing this file produces an executable that will load and run across gcc versions (and solaris versions for that matter). I don't like it but it works. IMPORTANT NOTE. After sourcing collect2_line you have to re-"hard link" the executable boinc_client to a proper name with the correct version. client/ collect2_line (new file) Gary 09 Dec 2003 - BOINC release 2.14 for windows, Linux, solaris2.7, solaris2.8 Gary 09 Dec 2003 - fixed typo in Network Bandwidth limits display (was missing /s) html_user/ prefs.inc Karl 2003-12-09 - don't run the scheduler cgi if stop_server trigger exists. sched/ main.C David 9 Dec 2003 - scheduler returns message if "../stop_servers" exists NOTE SPELLING; "stop_server" was error - web site main page checks for "stop_servers" file, shows "project down" message if so TODO: have all DB-driven pages do this - don't show link to main page on main page - turned off "rate message" control (wasn't being used) html_user/ index.php time.inc util.inc forum/ forum.inc post.php text_search_action.php thread.php sched/ main.C sched_util.C,h Eric K. 12/11/2003 Added check for strlcpy() to configure.ac and definition of strlcpy() to std_fixes.h.

The mechanism: if the last RPC was within 15 minutes, don't send any work. - add result.exit_status field to DB Currently this is populated by the server, if there's a element in the reply's stderr_out. There may be a better way to do this. TODO: display this field in the web GUI - use SIGHUP instead of SIGINT to stop daemon processes db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql sched/ handle_request.C start David 23 Dec 2003 - improved error messages in stderr_out client/ app.C client_state.C David 23 Dec 2003 - added boinc_fopen() function. This should be used in lieu of fopen(), in both core client and apps, whenever opening a file for writing. This is because on Windows a utility program like FileFind might have the file open at that exact moment, and your fopen() will fail. boinc_fopen() deals with this by sleeping for 3 seconds and trying again. NOTE: in SETI@home there's a much fancier function that does exponential backoff up to one hour. Can't do that here, in part because the GUI requires the core client to be nonblocking. api/ boinc_api.C graphics_api.C gutil.C mfile.C client/ app.C client_types.C cs_benchmark.C cs_scheduler.C cs_statefile.C http.C doc/ (various) lib/ filesys.C,h David 24 Dec 2003 - Fixed errors in deciding whether more work was needed, and if so how much. This caused a situation where hosts would repeatedly ask the server for more work (which, because of recent anti-spam mechanism, would return no work) The error involved the confusion of two quantities: 1) work buffer This is an estimate of the time (measured in days) until this host will finish all current work. It reflects the host's "active_frac" and the # of CPUs. 2) CPU time This is an estimate of the CPU time a WU will take on this host. It does not reflect active_frac or # of CPUs Example error: current_work_buf_days() didn't reflect active_frac and ncpus. So we underestimated the work buffer, and requested work inappropriately. NOTE: the field in a request message is in units of CPU time, NOT work buffer - Fixed errors in estimating the wallclock duration of a WU (used in feasibility test in scheduler): Should divide, not multiply, by active_frac; should not multiply by # cpus - add a "deprecated" flag to app_version. If you decide that a particulate app_version has problems, you can deprecate it. The scheduler advertises the latest non-deprecated version. NOTE: this only is effective if core clients have the following: - Changed the policy assigning an app_version to a WU Use the version included in the scheduler reply, and if there is none, use the latest version. This means that if a project deprecates an app_version, clients won't use it. client/ client_state.h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C db/ schema.sql boinc_db.C,h lib/ filesys.h result_state.h py/Boinc/ database.py sched/ handle_request.C sched_shmem.C David 23 Dec 2003 (supplied by Rom Walton) - new message class: warnings and network (with corresponding icons) client/ message.h win/ resource.h resource.rc wingui_mainwindow.cpp,h res/ iconnetwork.ico (new) iconwarning.ico (new) win_build/ boinc_gui.dsp David 23 Dec 2003 - change string-escape function in DB code to handle \ as well as ' (otherwise updates/inserts can fail) db/ boinc_db.C db_base.C,h sched/ update_stats.C Gary 25 Dec 2003 - BOINC release 2.16 for windows, Linux, solaris, mac os x 10.3 (os x 10.2 compatability will come soon) Jeff 30 Dec 2003 - Check for buffer reallocation errors in MFILE functions and return values that mimic the normal system versions of these functions.

I greped both astropulse and seti_boinc code and found no current use of this function. api/ mfile.C David 30 Dec 2003 - added optional 1 flag to daemons and tasks in config.xml. (would prefer "", but couldn't figure out how to get the minidom parser to recognize) sched/ start David 30 Dec 2003 - added element to in RPC request message client/ client_types.C,h David 31 Dec 2003 - Made the basic test script (test_uc.py) work again: - fixed syntax errors in SQL files - initial config.xml file includes element - back-end processes handle SIGHUP, not SIGINT (we changed in "start"; need to change here too) - "MIN_SENDWORK_INTERVAL" is read from config.xml (default 0) - added 12-second sleep in run_check_all() (based on 10-sec sleep in assimilator; should reduce) - The user and admin web interfaces now work in the basic test case (i.e. you can use html_ops to look at DB contents) db/ constraints.sql schema.sql html_ops/ db_ops.inc html_user/ project.inc.sample util.inc py/Boinc/ setup_project.py sched/ assimilator.C feeder.C file_deleter.C handle_request.C make_work.C sched_config.C,h sched_util.C,h transitioner.C validate.C test/ testbase.py David 31 Dec 2003 - Added Python assimilator, courtesy of Stephen Pellicer All the back-end programs could be implemented in Python; CPU usage is a non-factor. Some people might prefer this to C++. No reason not to have both, as long as the logic stays in synch. py/Boinc/ sched_messages.py sched/ assimilator.py Gary 31 Dec 2003 - Fixed error in windows client initial startup after a clean install.

Give a link to a separate page that shows pending results and their claimed credit - When show list of results, add linked ID column allowing user to see details of result (e.g. stderr_out) - removed "private" arg for show_host_detail.php. If the host belongs to logged-in user, show private info - removed alternative sorting options for host lists (there was a bug where a user host list linked to top_hosts.php) - added a couple of "repair" scripts html_user/ db.inc host.inc host_edit_action.php host_venue_action.php pending.php (new) repair.php (new) result.inc result.php results.php show_host_detail.php user.inc util.inc workunit.php forum/ repair.php (new) user_posts.php David 7 Jan 2004 - don't show #results in 1-line host summary (too slow) - totally redid "host merge" mechanism. - show all hosts that are compatible with this one (not just older ones) - show checkboxes with "select all" button so you can easily merge large #s of hosts - merge logic merges into newest host - let anyone look at any result and any host (may want to change this later, but for now it helps with debuggin) - write log message when scheduler creates new host because of bad RPC seqno html_user/ host.inc host_edit_action.php host_edit_form.php repair.php result.php results.php show_host_detail.php user.inc workunit.php sched/ handle_request.C David 7 Jan 2004 - more trickle support: - server parses elements from RPC request, creates trickle records, sends if it did any - client scans project for trickle files, adds them to RPC requests - if get in RPC reply, delete trickle files - parse in RPC reply - use safe_strncpy for shared-mem graphics messages client/ client_state.h cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C,h db/ boinc_db.h doc/ boinc_dev.php host_id.php (new) host_measure.php participate.php lib/ app_ipc.C,h filesys.h sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h David 7 Jan 2004 - scheduling server: if get invalid hostid, look up user before creating new host (otherwise will create a host record with userid 0) - if get a result that's already been received, ignore it sched/ handle_request.C David 7 Jan 2004 - added "host delete" function (if host has zero results) html_user/ host_delete.php (new) David 8 Jan 2004 - Fixed bugs that caused WUs to be mistakenly marked COULDNT_SEND: - the feeder marks WUs as COULDNT_SEND whenever at least 50% of the results have infeasible_count > 20 (it used to be > 0, i.e. a WU could be marked as COULDNT_SEND when it was infeasible for even a single host) - Some hosts (Macs) report their memory size (host.m_nbytes) as a large negative number. Change this so that the min memory size is 64 MB html_user/ host.inc host_delete.php (new) sched/ feeder.C handle_request.C sched_shmem.h Gary 8 Jan 2004 - Fixed problem in windows client where user prefs were being ignored at startup as a side-effect of the previous initial startup fix.

In particular, it has no window when it initially runs, so it won't wake up screensaver when an app starts. This requires using a window-less timer to poll for messages from core client. api/ windows_opengl.C David Jan 17 2004 - remove win_main.cpp - if result exceeds disk, show both usage and limit - change title of Attach to Project dialog - change debugging symbol from DEBUG to SS_DEBUG (since VC7.0 equates _DEBUG and DEBUG) client/ app.C win_main.cpp (removed) win/ resource.rc win_build/ boinc_gui.vcproj David Jan 17 2004 - new screensaver (from Rom Walton) works correctly on multiple monitors; handles password protection correctly - fix compile warnings - removed redundant definition of BOINC_SS_END client/ cs_benchmark.C net_xfer.C win/ Scricon3.ico (removed) boinc_ss.h (new) boinc_ss.rc win_main.cpp (removed) win_screensaver.cpp win_screensaver.h (new) win_util.h wingui_listcrl.cpp wingui_mainwindow.cpp wingui_piectrl.cpp res/ Scricon3.ico (new) lib/ app_ipc.h win_build/ boinc.vcproj boinc_cli.vcproj boinc_ss.vcproj David Jan 17 2004 - use TRACE() instead of fprintfs for debugging output client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David Jan 18 2004 - fix possible memory leak in screensaver on Win9x (from Rom Walton) client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp,h David Jan 18 2004 - add a function HOST::fix_nans(), called before updating or inserting a host record; replaces NaNs with zeros.

This allows GUIs to be implemented in a separate process. There can be multiple GUIs looking at the same core client. New classes: GUI_RPC_CONN: represents a connection to a GUI program GUI_RPC_CONN_SET: represents the set of all such connections has the usual poll() function. This is currently implemented only for UNIX, using UNIX domain sockets. Should be straightforward to do in Win using named pipes. - The isspace() macro crashes if called with a non-ASCII arg, so use it only after isascii() - reimplement strip_whitespace() to do the above, have it trim at both start and end, and make a version for string NOTE: the real problem is that user-supplied text is being kept in XML elements in the state file. Should escape it. client/ Makefile.am,in client_state.C,h gui_rpc_client.C,h (new) gui_rpc_server.C,h (new) gui_test.C lib/ parse.C util.C,h David Jan 21 2004 - get new GUI RPC stuff to compile on Win client/ gui_rpc_server.C win_build/ boinc.sln boinc_cli.vcproj boinc_gui.vcproj Eric Jan 21 2004 - Modified match_tag to work with tags of the form "" and "tag" - Added strlcat() to std_fixes.h - Added check for strlcat() configure.ac - fixed "#elif" without clause in main.C configure configure.ac config.h.in client/ main.C lib/ parse.C std_fixes.h Karl 2004-01-21 Client translations update from Robi Beucheler client/translation/ language.ini.ca language.ini.es language.ini.et language.ini.gl language.ini.hr language.ini.ko language.ini.pl language.ini.pt language.ini.template language.ini.th (new) language.ini.tr (new) David Jan 21 2004 - small changes to get console version to compile client/ cs_cmdline.C main.C win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj David Jan 22 2004 - match_tag() changes broke Win compile. Moved new match_tag() to xml_match_tag() in xml_util.C, put old match_tag() back. lib/ util.C,h xml_util.C,h David Jan 22 2004 - change the GUI RPC protocol so that there's a single request that returns the entire state (same contents as the client state file) - add fraction_done, current_cpu_time to output - factored out CLIENT_STATE::write_state(FILE*) (used for both state file write and GUI RPC) - always copy team name from scheduler reply (so that we'll learn if user quits team) client/ app.C client_state.h cs_scheduler.C cs_statefile.C gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C gui_test.C David Jan 23 2004 - fix problem with DLL dependency (from Rom Walton) api/ boinc_api.C graphics_api.C gutil.C windows_opengl.C lib/ parse.C util.C David Jan 23 2004 - Fleshed out client-side support for GUI RPCs The GUI_RPC class now parses the XML it gets back from the request, and builds a data structure that is more or less a clone of the state of the core client. There are still a number of missing pieces, e.g. active tasks and file transfers client/ cs_apps.C gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_test.C makefile.gui_test (new) David Jan 24 2004 - add resource to let you control name of screensaver in choose-screensaver popup (from Rom Walton) client/win/ boinc_ss.h boinc_ss.rc David Jan 26 2004 - server-side support for anonymous platform mechanism - struct CLIENT_APP_VERSION represents an app version that an anonymous-platform client says it has - SCHEDULER_REQUEST has a vector of CLIENT_APP_VERSIONs, parsed from request message - in scan_work_array(): if anonymous platform, instead of checking for an app version in the DB, check that the client has an app version with an acceptable version# NOTE: for this to work you need to add an entry named "anonymous" to the platform table html_user/ index.php team_join_form.php team_quit_form.php sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h David Jan 26 2004 - client-side support for anonymous platform mechanism - To use this mechanism, user puts a file "app_info.xml" in a project dir. This file contains , , and elements for app versions present in the project dir (compiled or manually installed by the user). - If this file is found, the project is marked as "anonymous_platform" and app/app_version info in the state file is ignored. - Scheduler RPCs for anonymous projects include a list of app_versions - CLIENT_STATE::link_*(): fail if object is already in state client/ client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C cs_statefile.C file_names.h lib/ error_numbers.h David Jan 30 2004 - replaced a bunch of "return 1"s with meaningful codes (mostly ERR_NOT_FOUND); fixed comments; added license text here and there client/ app.C client_state.C cs_apps.C cs_cmdline.C cs_files.C cs_prefs.C cs_scheduler.C file_xfer.C gui_rpc_server.C,h http.C message.C net_stats.C net_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.C doc/ account.php lib/ app_ipc.C error_numbers.h David Jan 30 2004 - mark result as OUTCOME_SUCCESS only if exit status is zero (from Rom Walton) sched/ handle_request.C David Jan 31 2004 - GUI RPC: get_state RPC now returns active tasks and file xfers - remove "hostname" field from HTTP_OP. There was already a field of this name in NET_XFER, a base class of HTTP_OP. client/ client_types.C gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C http.h net_xfer.C,h pers_file_xfer.C makefile.gui_test David Feb 2 2004 - escape all user-supplied text in XML (messages and files) e.g. user name, team name - added functions xml_escape() and xml_unescape() (very simple versions; just escape < and &) - parse_str() does unescape client/ client_types.C lib/ parse.C,h sched/ server_types.C David Feb 2 2004 - changed directory structure of HTML stuff Rom Feb 2 2004 - Added a diagnostics library for project clients Currently only windows specific stuff has been implemented for the BOINCASSERT and BOINCTRACE. BOINCASSERT has been defined as an ASNI C assert for all other platforms. boinc_trace(), boinc_diag_init(), and boinc_diag_cleanup() need to be defined for all the other platforms. - Moved stderr redirection into boinc_diag_init() for the Windows client. api/ boincdiag.cpp,h (Added) boinc_api.c Rom Feb 3 2004 - Fixed warning while compiling with gcc. api/ boincdiag.cpp,h David Feb 3 2004 - removed pathMod arguments in PHP code (this was needed when we had multi-level directory structure; not needed anymore) - changed max_wus_to_send from a compile constant to a config.xml parameter html/ forum/ post.php rate.php reply.php subscribe.php inc/ db.inc subscribe.inc util.inc sched/ handle_request.C sched_config.C,h David 2004-02-03 BOINC 2.23 release for Windows Karl 2004-02-03 - updates for html directory structure change tools/ make_project py/Boinc/ setup_project.py html/ project.sample/ (new directory) project.inc (new) project_specific_prefs.inc (new) html/ user/ project.inc.sample (removed) project_specific_prefs.inc (removed) Rom Feb 4 2004 - Fixed the windows_error_string routine so it'll report back windows system errors. - Updated the CreateProcess part of app.c to report OS Errors based on the above funtion. - Removed the seperate header blocks for both release and debug and made them the same. clears up one customer bug on Windows NT 4.0 platforms - Changed the 1400 version check in stackwalker.h to 1310 which is what the 7.1 compiler version is really. - Changed the service routines to use windows_error_string instead of GetSystemErrorText client/ app.c client win/ stackwalker.h win_screensaver.h win_service.cpp lib/ util.c,h Rom Feb 4 2004 - Changed from using SHGetSpecialFolder to SHGetFolderPath which now uses COM and so will will not throw a dynamic link error on startup for platforms that don't support it. client win/ win_screensaver.cpp David Feb 4 2004 - BOINC API: if get a REREAD_PREFS message from core client, only call the app's reread_prefs function if there's a window open (the SETI@home reread_prefs function goes into an infinite loop if there's not a window open) - change copyright year to 2004 api/ windows_opengl.C client/win/ resource.rc Karl 2004-02-03 - more misc. make_project fixes David Feb 4 2004 - define a destructor for ACTIVE_TASK. Do all resource deallocation (close thread/proc/msg handles; detach and/or destroy shmem) here. This deallocation was being done piecemeal; for example, it wasn't being done if the process was aborted. Hence the "quit message" object was still there, and when another process started in the same slot it would immediately get the message (caused "reset project" problem) - Eventually delete all ACTIVE_TASK objects. The following removed them from the list but didn't deleting: ACTIVE_TASK_SET::abort_project() ACTIVE_TASK_SET::restart_tasks() (failure case) - Don't ask for work if we have any unfinished work. This is a temporary kludge to prevent repeated work requests; it means that min work buffer is meaningless. But maybe this is OK. client/ app.h,C cs_scheduler.C David Feb 4 2004 - Cleaned up the project-reset logic a little: - first garbage-collect, THEN unlink and delete the apps and app_versions - When detach project, delete FILE_INFO*s. NOTE: there are lots of loose ends, e.g. files/sockets left open etc. client/ client_state.C David Feb 4 2004 - Released version 2.24 of core client Rom Feb 4 2004 - When handled errors occur provide the translated error message as well as the error code. client/ app.c Rom Feb 4 2004 - Update the debugging page with some more useful information about what we need when a crash occurs html/user/ debug.php Rom Feb 5 2004 - Microsofts documentation on the matter of SHGetFolderPath seems to be wrong. instead of relying on it, just do a dynamic link and call the function if successful. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp David Feb 5 2004 - db_dump: files ordered by ID now have a fixed-size ID range, not a fixed # of elements - Changed FEASIBLE_COUNT parameters to very large values, so that results are never classified as COULDNT_SEND. This mechanism is not needed for SETI@home (all results are the same) and is occasionally screwing things up. Can revisit this later. - Make "host" web links consistent ("---" if ID is zero) - In UOTD browse, show only profiles w/ pics html/ inc/ host.inc result.inc util.inc ops/ profile_ops.php sched/ db_dump.C feeder.C handle_request.C sched_shmem.h David Feb 5 2004 - My checkin of Jan 31 broke access via HTTP proxies. Here's an attempt to fix it client/ http.C,h net_xfer.C,h pers_file_xfer.C David Feb 5 2004 - skip over elements while parsing (they're there for the benefit of GUI RPC) - removed old TRACEs from Win code client/ client_types.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp Rom Feb 5 2004 - Moved the unhandled exception filter back into boinc_api.c where it was orginally. - Moved stackwalker that is used by BOINC Client applications into api folder since the unhandled exception filter depends on it. - Removed the unhandled exception filter init code from boincdiag.cpp api/ boinc_api.c boincdiag.cpp api/win/ stackwalker.cpp,h (Added) Rom Feb 6 2004 - Removed boincdiag.cpp,h from build and encorporated all its functionality into boinc_api.c, h - Improved unhandled exception filter to handle STACK_OVERFLOW exceptions, using new stackwalker code base, STACK_OVERFLOWs would have caused a nested exception issue that would have masked the real error. - Improved unhandled exception filter to handle ACCESS_VIOLATIONs better, using stackwalker code base, giving some of the same information for release builds that is given in debug builds - Created a new macro called BOINCERROR which will trip the management thread into gracefully exiting the process with the correct exit code. This macro will work across debug/release builds. Some more work has to go into the base function, hopefully in tomorrow. api/ boinc_api.c,h boincdiag.cpp,h (deleted) David Feb 6 2004 - changed default min/max work buffers from (1,3) to (.1, 1) html/incs/ prefs.inc David Feb 6 2004 - ask for more work when # of results in progress is less than # CPUs - when get an APP_VERSION in a scheduler reply that's already in client state, DON'T update the client state (it can't be any different anyway) This fixes a garbage-collection crash - Win client: added check_state.C to the project. You can call check_all() to verify the integrity of client data. This is commented out but useful for debugging. - FILE_XFER_SET::insert() adds item to list, even if the underlying HTTP_OP::insert() fails (because can't connect, e.g.) This is necessary to make sure that the FILE_XFER remains in the FILE_XFER_SET even in case of error, so that check_all() works. NOTE: the semantics of insert() should be reexamined through the whole FSM stack. Does it initialize? Is it guaranteed to insert?

It is not perfect (it's really the proc interface's fault), but at least it is a lot better than what is there now. client/ hostinfo_unix.cpp Jeff Mar 14 2004 - Another static/dynamic linking problem fixed by an ugly collect2 hack. It turns out that a statically linked linux client gets the following warning at build time: hostinfo.C:230: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking and sure enough, when such a client is run on a linux platform with a incompatible glibc, we saw the following: 2004-03-12 11:07:57 [BOINC] Can't resolve hostname setiboinc 2004-03-12 11:07:57 [BOINC] Can't resolve hostname setiboinc 2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Couldn't read master page for http://setiboinc/ap/: error -113 2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Couldn't read master page for http://setiboinc/ap/: error -113 2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Detaching from project - check for URL error 2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Detaching from project - check for URL error So we needed to link dynamically to libc but statically to libstdc++ (for reasons described elsewhere in these notes). The only way found so far to do this is via a hand crafted collect2 line. That, and not linking the client statically in a global fashion. We should make the collect2 scripts adapt to the environment in which they ar run. Or, better, figure out how to do this all within configure/make. - bumped version to 2.28. configure.ac configure client Makefile.am Makefile.in collect2_line_linux.csh new file collect2_line_solaris.csh new file collect2_line removed Jeff Mar 15 2004 - CVS tagged boinc and seti_boinc as boinc_app_release_2_28.

Separate notions of "trickle up" (client->server) and "trickle down" (server->client) messages. They're kept in different tables. - added a program trickle_handler.C for handling trickle-up messages. This is a framework program: you need to supply a handler function - The scheduler sees if there are any trickle-down messages for the host, and sends them STILL TO BE DONE: - server-side API for creating trickle-down messages - client logic for delivering trickle-down messages - fix bad mem size reporting on Mac w/ > 2GB mem client/ hostinfo_unix.C scheduler_op.C,h db/ boinc_db.C,h constraints.sql doc/ contact.php docutil.php gui_rpc.php software.php trickle.php validate.php sched/ handle_request.C sched_config.C,h server_types.C,h trickle_handler.C (new) validate_test.C validate_trivial.C Rom Mar 16 2004 - Add back in support for Thomas's multi-proc protection aginst strcat for vendor and CPU information - Included the same multi-proc stuff for the x86 - Add JKecks change for changing when to report results based on the amount of time the machine is connected onto the Internet. - Added support for keeping a backup copy of stderr.txt and stdout.txt for the previous session of BOINC in case it crashes. client/ cs_scheduler.c file_names.h hostinfo_unix.c client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp kevin 17 March 2004 checked in signal handling code.

This gets 100% of the FPU on a HT CPU. When 2 copies of an app are run, they will each get 50% of the FPU, so the claimed credit will be too high by a factor of 2. New: Run N copies of the benchmark in parallel, where N is the number of CPUs reported by the OS (e.g. twice the number of HT CPUs) Average the results. Revised interface: start_cpu_benchmarks() starts up the N benchmark processes cpu_benchmarks_poll() checks for completion are_cpu_benchmarks_running() returns true iff running (doesn't poll) abort_cpu_benchmarks() aborts processes The set of running processes is maintained in an array of BENCHMARK_DESC structures Results are passed back in files in the Unix case, where we use separate processes.

OLD: if a scheduler request message has newer prefs than those in the DB, update the user record. I.e. propagate prefs from hosts to projects The problem with this: see bug #1164 NEW: Use whichever is more recent of the prefs in the request msg and the prefs in the DB.

David April 3 2004 - added a mechanism to handle situations where an app appears to have exited successfully, but in fact didn't call boinc_finish() or exit(0). This apparently can happen on various platforms, don't ask me how. The new mechanism: boinc_finish() writes a file "boinc_finish_called" in the slot directory. When an app appears to have exited successfully, the core client checks for the existence of this file. If it's not there, the result is placed "in limbo": it takes up a slot, but the app isn't restarted. If the core client is restarted, the app is restarted. NOTE: when we release a core client with this feature, it's critical that all users reset the project, and that updated versions of all apps are released. Might be a good time for a major release increment. api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C,h lib/ app_ipc.h David April 3 2004 - synchronize access to shared-mem work array by scheduler processes, with the goal of NEVER sending the same result to different hosts. - Instead of a single bool present flag, there are now 3 states for an element in the array: absent, present, and "checked out" (being considered for sending) - There's now a semaphore that a scheduler process must acquire before examining the state field of an array entry (note: the feeder creates this semaphore, but doesn't have to acquire it because of the producer/consumer situation). - split out the work-sending part of handle_request.C to a new file (sched_send.C,h) because it was getting kinda big sched/ Makefile.am main.C,h sched_send.C,h (new) sched_shmem.h show_shmem.C David April 3 2004 - fix bugs in the above client/ app.C html/inc/ result.inc lib/ filesys.C synch.C sched/ feeder.C main.C sched_config.C,h David April 3 2004 - added code (from Rob Ogilvie) to check for battery usage on Linux ACPI hosts client/ hostinfo_unix.C David April 3 2004 - If a web page requires login (e.g., forum/post.php) the resulting form will refer to a handler (login_action.php) in the wrong directory. Kludge solution: put a symbolic link in forum/login_action.php Is there a better solution? Maybe, but I'm too tired to think of it. - better download instructions for Unix html/ forum/ post.php user/ account_setup_first_download.php py/Boinc/ setup_project.py David April 4 2004 - change the way file transfer speed is computed. Instead of fancy exponential averaging, just take the average every 3 seconds client/ net_xfer.C,h pers_file_xfer.h David April 4 2004 - ACTIVE_TASK::request_exit() (win): kill the process immediately, instead of sending it a quit request event, waiting a few seconds, then killing it. Currently the quit request event is checked only in boinc_time_to_checkpoint(), which (at least, in SETI@home) isn't called very often. So it always takes 5 seconds to exit the core client. NOTE: when the new app management-thread stuff is done, we can change this back client/ app.C David April 6 2004 - move update_average() from sched_util.C to util.C (and give it a half-life arg) - move Messages class declaration out of util.h into its own file - move file_lock() from util.C to filesys.C - client: rename get_percent_done() to get_fraction_done (uh... percents are 0..100; fracs are 0..1) client/ client_state.h cs_apps.C cs_benchmark.C cs_cmdline.C cs_prefs.C cs_scheduler.C gui_rpc_server.C message.h lib/ filesys.C,h messages.C messages.h (new) util.C,h sched/ Makefile.am sched_send.C sched_util.C,h update_stats.C validate.C validate_test.C David April 7 2004 - Client: replace the buggy update_avg_cpu() with the tried-and-true update_average() to estimate average CPU rate per project client/ client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C David April 8 2004 - Clarify distinction between log messages (debugging) and user messages (shown to user) in the client and put both in one place (client_msgs.C,h) - rename ClientMessages to CLIENT_MSG_LOG - rename SchedMessages to SCHED_MSG_LOG - rename Messages to MSG_LOG - rename ScopeMessages to SCOPE_MSG_LOG client/ Makefile.am *.C client_messages.C (removed) message.h (removed) client_msgs.C,h (new) lib/ messages.C,h (removed) msg_log.C,h (new) sched/ Makefile.am *.C sched_messages.C (removed) sched_msgs.C,h (new) David April 8 2004 - If an active task is in limbo, don't mark its result as done! (from James Drews) client/ cs_apps.C David April 8 2004 - Fix a major error in back-end logic (found by Jeff): The canonical result's output files (and WU input files) were being deleted when all results had server_state = OVER. But this doesn't mean they've been validated! So the third result from every group of three was failing validation about half the time because the canonical result output files had been deleted. The fix: delete canonical result and WU files only when all results are OVER *and* all results with outcome SUCCESS have been validated. sched/ transitioner.C David April 9 2004 - Added zip/unzip code (from Carl Christensen). This is basically the Info-ZIP code with unused files stripped out, and some minor tweaks to return errors instead of exiting zip/ * (new) unzip/ * (new) David April 9 2004 - Fixed a nasty bug that caused back-end processes to corrupt records in the "result" table, and potentially others. The Bug: - escape_string() replaces ' and \ by \' and \\ respectively; this is done so that they can be used in SQL statements, e.g. update foo set blah='abc\'def'; - escape_string() (which can increase the length of a string) didn't check the size of its output buffer - The stderr_out field of results with stack traces often are near their 4KB limit, and have LOTS of \s (in file paths) - escape_string() was writing beyond the end of the stderr_out field, writing garbage into fields like batch, claimed_credit, etc. The Fix: add a "len" argument to escape_string(), and use safe_strncpy() to avoid writing off the end of the buffer. db/ boinc_db.C db_base.C,h html/user/ stats.php Rom April 10 2004 - Initial Snapshot of the new BOINC Universal GUI, this GUI will provide the native interface for all supported platforms. NOTE: This is just a bare bones skeleton. Header file stuff still needs to be moved around to support all the platforms. stdwx.h should include config.h or win_config.h depending on platform, etc. clientgui/ * (new) David April 10 2004 - restore compilation on Linux lib/ filesys.C sched/ sched_config.C zip/ Makefile David April 11 2004 - scheduler RPC: return a result's app version number in a field within , not an field within Change scheduler to look in both places for now. client/ client_types.C sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C Jeff April 12 2004 - tagged with both: boinc_core_release_3_00 seti_boinc_app_release_3_00 David April 13 2004 - removed "result_template_file" arg (and several other args) from make_work; these can just be copied from the WU sched/ make_work.C David April 13 2004 - Changes in the parsing of WU template files: - Any unrecognized elements in a are now just copied to the output. So you can include attributes like and they'll get propagated correctly. - The following items can now be included in a WU template: rsc_fpops_est rsc_fpops_bound rsc_memory_bound rsc_disk_bound delay_bound min_quorum target_nresults max_error_results max_total_results max_success_results These are not copied to the output, but are used to populate the WORKUNIT (which is now passed in as an arg) The latter means that 'create_work' (the cmdline program) is simplified; it can now take as few as 5 args tools backend_lib.C create_work.C David April 14 2004 - Added code (from Janus Kristensen) to cache web pages. Restored leader boards (users/teams/hosts) and made them cached with a refresh time of 1 hour html/ inc/ cache.inc (new) user/ index.php stats.php top_hosts.php top_teams.php top_users.php David April 14 2004 - added boinc_make_dirs() (preliminary support for projects subdirs for CPDN) - If is in config file, send it in sched replies lib/ app_ipc.C filesys.C,h sched/ sched_config.C,h server_types.C David April 14 2004 - moved MFILE declaration to a separate file to facilitate a plain-C BOINC API api/ mfile.h (new) David April 15 2004 - change GUI RPC so that it uses TCP instead of UNIX-domain socket. Core client accepts connections only from local host (127.0.0.1) We currently use port 31416, since there's been no response to my request for an official port. - changed boinc_mkdir() so that it sees if the path already exists and is a dir, and returns success if so - main.C: print error message if CLIENT_STATE::init() fails client/ client_state.C file_names.C gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C,h main.C lib/ filesys.C David April 15 2004 - CLIENT_STATE::computer_resource_debts(): fix kludge that could result in seg fault client/ cs_scheduler.C Rom April 15 2004 - Increase benchmark timeout from 60 seconds to 120 seconds client/ cpu_benchmark.h David April 18 2004 - Added cross-project identification (scheme developed by Janus Kristensen) NOTE: this involves a database change (new field in user table). You must update your database by adding the field and initializing it (see html/ops/db_update.php) before using this code. client/ client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html/ user/ create_account_action.php ops/ db_update.php (new) py/Boinc/ database.py sched/ db_dump.C server_types.C David April 19 2004 - Client: change the way network transfer speed is computed. Instead of computing it every 3 seconds (which doesn't work for short transfers) just computed it from start of transfer. - when detach from a project, and global prefs are from that project, delete the global prefs file and init() prefs in mem. Otherwise you have prefs from unknown project. - write element in only if writing to server (avoid error parsing state file) - some message end with multiple \n's. delete them all. - change return type of boinc_file_exists() to bool client/ client_state.C client_types.C net_xfer.C,h prefs.C win/ wingui.cpp wingui_proxydlg.cpp lib/ filesys.C,h Rom April 20 2004 - Prevent a nested exception during a heap check by disabling the heap check during a stack dump. lib/ diagnostics.C David April 20 2004 - The Windows CreateDirectory and RemoveDirectory return nonzero on error (unlike rmdir and mkdir).

Pages that care about that must do it separately, and can pass the user into page_head() if they want. - added is_valid_country() function - don't get logged-in user for pages that don't show sensitive info (results, workunit, host). This also makes these pages cacheable. html/ forum/ edit.php inc/ countries.php util.inc user/ result.php results.php show_host_detail.php Rom April 22 2004 - Integrate in Sebastian Masch's ACPI code that works with multiple AC Adapter types - Integrate back in the APM code that works with the Linux 2.6 kernels client/ hostinfo_unix.c Jeff April 22 2004 - tagged as boinc_core_release_3_01 David April 22 2004 - boinc_fopen(): add a Unix-specific #ifdef case that, in case of failure, sees if errno is EINTR and if so retries the fopen. This fixes a problem in the SETI@home app, where an initial fopen() gets interrupted by the timer (I think) - add project_dir and wu_name elements to the APP_INIT_DATA structure; add corresponding elements to the app_init_data.xml file; populate these in the core client, and parse in the API - rename boinc_trickle() to boinc_trickle_up() - rename full_path() to relative_to_absolute() api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C cs_statefile.C lib/ app_ipc.C,h filesys.C,h David April 23 2004 - added new items to APP_INIT_DATA (for Folding@home): slot boinc_dir authenticator - rename app_preferences to project_preferences in APP_INIT_DATA api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C lib/ app_ipc.C,h Rom April 26 2004 - Fix a condition where we were leaking a file handle on Linux - Fix a seg fault when the dirscanner attempts to scan a non existent directory client/ hostinfo_unix.c lib/ filesys.c Rom April 27 2004 - Remove dependency on semaphore stuff so the Mac 10.2 client will build.

Trickle-ups work correctly. handle_trickles works correctly. trickle-downs are getting sent back OK - client: if scheduler reply gets parse error, backoff project (fixed bug where we retry every second) - sched server: if request message doesn't parse, send an "incomplete request received" reply (instead of just returning: uh, ????) - sched server: if request is not asking for work, don't check min_sendwork_interval or try to send work (avoid spurious "last RPC too recent" messages) client/ scheduler_op.C sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h trickle_handler.C David May 12 2004 - Server: remove MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE and use LARGE_BLOB_SIZE instead. MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE was used in various C structs to hold database blobs for: app_version.xml_doc (list of files in app) result.xml_doc_in, xml_doc_out (output files) result.stderr_out wu.xml_doc (input files) It was defined as 4KB, which overflowed if you had more than 10 or so files (with signatures etc.) Note 1: this greatly increases the size of WORKUNIT and RESULT, to I decreased the number of WU_RESULTs in shared memory from 1000 to 100. Eventually we might want to redefine the shared memory so that it doesn't store the entire structs Note 2: these buffer overflows should have been caught early-on, i.e. when the workunit, result or app_version was created. We should never just do a strcpy() or even safe_strncpy(); instead, we should check for overflow, return error if so, then do the copy.

Instead of using the same 3D coordinate space as other stuff, stars now have their own -1..1 type coordinate space, and we do the perspective transformation ourselves. This eliminates the need for all the is_visible() crap. The goal was to get rid of the hang/crash when the user moves the viewpoint too far away, but I ended up rewriting the (crufty) code. Got rid of get_matrix_invert() - Moved glFlush() from REDUCED_ARRAY::draw() to SAH_GFX_BASE::render (or whatever the app's render routine is) api/ gutil.C,h reduce.C David May 17 2004 - In the scheduler shared-memory segment, keep only the result ID (not the whole result record) in each WU_RESULT. This saves large amounts of memory, and doesn't incur any DB overhead because we have to reread the result record anyway. sched/ feeder.C sched_shmem.h sched_send.C show_shmem.C David May 18 2004 - Added the "homogeneous redundancy" feature courtesy of Michela Taufer. This lets a project say that results for a given workunit should be sent only to hosts with the same OS name + CPU vendor. Enabled it by putting in config.xml - parse in scheduler replies client/ scheduler_op.C sched/ sched_config.C,h sched_send.C David May 18 2004 - Various changes to benchmark code: - unroll loops in FP benchmark - use 10M instead of 1M ops per iteration - use dtime() for timing - get rid of wacky integer benchmark; replace with integer counterpart to FP benchmark client/ cpu_benchmark.C Rom May 18 2004 - XML Parsing errors should now be hidden from normal operation. NOTE: In order to see XML parsing errors you'll need to turn on the debug state and debug scheduler operation log flags. client/ app.C client_types.C cs_statefile.C hostinfo.C prefs.C proxy.C scheduler_op.C time_stats.C Rom May 18 2004 - Tag for 3.05 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_05 David May 19 2004 - Added code for Whetstone benchmark. This produces a result several times larger than our own floating-point benchmark (e.g., 750MFLOPS versus 160MFLOPS). But it's not clear that the Whetstone number should be interpreted as MFLOPS. If you want to check it out, add a call to whetstone(10, x) somewhere, and look at the result in the debugger. client/ whetstone.C (new) David May 19 2004 - Added code for Dhrystone benchmark. Use the "VAX MIPS" result as integer benchmark. It's somewhat higher than the benchmark we've been using. - Switch to using Whetstone and Dhrystone instead of home-brew benchmarks. client/ cpu_benchmark.C,h cs_benchmark.C dhrystone.C (new) whetstone.C David May 19 2004 - Since new benchmarks are higher than old ones, redefine a cobblestone as 100 * (fpops + iops)/2 (omit memory bandwidth, use 100 instead of 300) sched/ handle_request.C David May 19 2004 - Changed dhry/whetstone to use fixed # of iterations instead of dynamically adapting. This hopefully will make multiple CPUs run more in lockstep client cpu_benchmark.h cs_benchmark.C dhrystone.C whetstone.C David May 19 2004 - boinc_fopen: if opening for read, and file doesn't exist, return 0 immediately (avoid 5-sec delays) - boinc_resolve_filename: use boinc_fopen() to open symlink file - graphics: scale starfield velocity down by a factor of 10 api/ gutil.C lib/ app_ipc.C filesys.C David May 20 2004 - In messages about benchmarks, report the number of CPUs, and say that benchmark numbers are per CPU client/ cs_benchmark.C David May 21 2004 - API: changed timer period from 50 Hz to 1 Hz. This timer is used only for reporting progress and CPU, not for doing graphics, to 1 Hz is enough - API: if setup_shared_mem() returns error, set standalone = true. This means that if you run an app standalone, it will be detected automatically, so no need for command-line args or even standalone argument to boinc_init() (but leave that arg in for now) - API: initialize fraction_done to -1, and only report it to core client if >= 0 (i.e. don't report it unless app specifies it) - API: removed #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SHM_H #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H around calls to attach_shmem in non-Win case. This not an appropriate place for these ifdefs. - core client: ACTIVE_TASK_SET::check_app_exited(): skip tasks in state PROCESS_IN_LIMBO. This avoid core client spinning when apps misbehave. - core client: changed variable names in app.C: starting_cpu_time -> episode_start_cpu_time api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C,h David May 21 2004 - Core client: attempted to make benchmarks more accurate and reproducible on multiprocessor or HT machines be forcing each phase (floating point, integer) to be more or less concurrent across processors. This is done using trigger files. Each benchmark waits for its trigger file before starting, and stops when the file goes away. client/ cpu_benchmark.h cs_benchmark.C dhrystone.C whetstone.C Rom May 21 2004 - A little fine tuning to the benchmark process. Should be less than 1% difference between executions without any other software runing client/ cs_benchmark.C dhrystone.C whetstone.C David May 21 2004 - Core client: in FILE_XFER_SET::poll(), when completed a file-size query, close the socket before iniating the file transfer. Otherwise we have a socket that's never closed. Note: some aspects of the FILE_XFER/HTTP_OP/NET_XFER hierarchy seem absurdly complex, like the issue of when sockets are closed. The whole thing should be reexamined at some point (but not now). client/ file_xfer.X Rom May 22 2004 - Somehow the boinc release build switched over to using shared libraries on Windows instead of static, so now i'm switching it back to static libraries. win_build/ boinc_gui.vcproj Rom May 23 2004 - Add new report to OPs pages to show failures by host html/ops/ failure_result_summary_by_host.php index.php David May 23 2004 - web: activating an account (un-munging the email address) can fail if there's already an account with that email address. Print an explanatory message in this case. - web: moved forum-display code to separate file/functions (forum_show.inc) so can selectively show forums Renamed "$n" to "$thread_per_page" (come on, folks) - remove extra tags in core_version XML dump file html/ forum/ forum.php forum_show.inc (new) sample_index.php (renamed from index.php) inc/ forum.inc user/ download.php download_network.php login_action.php sample_index.php (renamed from index.php) sched/ db_dump.C David May 23 2004 - Support for "compound applications" (such as climateprediction.net) in which a main program runs several apps in sequence. The items are: 1) The app init file now contains fields and giving the fraction-done range occupied by the app. Note: the app calls boinc_fraction_done() with values from 0 to 1 as usual. The API implementation takes care of scaling them to the start..end range. The main program must fill in these fields and call boinc_write_app_init_file() prior to running each app. 2) boinc_finish() fills the final CPU time into the APP_INIT_DATA struct, then calls boinc_write_app_init_file(). This passes the CPU time along to the next program. 3) got rid of boinc_child_start() and boinc_child_done(). api/ boinc_ipc.C,h client/ app.C lib/ app_ipc.C,h David May 24 2004 - Change benchmarks functions to use CPU time instead wall-clock time. - move CPU measurement functions from api/boinc_api.C to lib/util.C api/ boinc_api.C client/ cs_scheduler.C dhrystone.C whetstone.C lib/ util.C,h David May 24 2004 - boinc_delete_file(): Windows: retry 5 times w/ 1 second delay (in case virus-check program has file locked). This may fix a problem where slot directories weren't getting cleaned up. - if clean_out_dirs() fails when starting app, print error message and return error (so app won't start) client/ app.C cpu_benchmark.h cs_benchmark.C file_names.C lib/ filesys.C,h David May 24 2004 - client: initialize NET_XFER::xfer_speed to -1, and when we print it out check for this value and print "no bytes transferred" (this happens e.g. if upload a file that's already been uploaded) - removed NET_XFER::net_xfer_state (not used) client/ net_xfer.C,h pers_file_xfer.h Rom May 24 2004 - Tag for 3.06 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_06 David May 24 2004 - bugs in update_versions: "cur" -> "cursor" move call to get_current_core_version() after DB init tools/ update_versions David May 24 2004 - Change benchmarks to not use global variables (since, on Windows, we have several threads running them in the same address space). This requires passing around an extra structure pointer, which slows down the benchmarks, but it doesn't seem to make a big difference. client/ dhrystone.C whetstone.C David May 25 2004 - added -noinsert option to assimilator sched/ assimilator.C David May 25 2004 - change client compile from -O2 to -O6 (Unix) This brings the benchmark speeds on my laptop (2.2 GHz Celeron) roughly into line with Win: Linux -O6: whet 933 dhry 1585 Linux -O2 whet 545 dhry 1268 Win release whet 840 dhry 1512 Win debug whet 655 dhry 1436 client/ Makefile.am David May 25 2004 - setup_project.py: copy sample_index.php to index.php Otherwise tests don't work. py/Boinc/ setup_project.py test/ testbase.py Rom May 25 2004 - Tag for 3.07 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_07 David May 26 2004 - update Dhrystone/Whetstone code based on latest versions (2.1, ?) I don't think this will make a damn bit of difference, but it's better to stay current client/ dhrystone.C whetstone.C David May 26 2004 - updated config.guess config.guess Rom May 26 2004 - Update config.guess so we don't have to add the --build command to each execution of ./configure for the Macs / config.guess Rom May 26 2004 - NEW GUI: Implement Render and State management infrastructure. clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp BaseListCtrlView.cpp, .h BaseWindowView.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h MessagesView.cpp, .h ProjectsView.cpp, .h ResourceUtilizationView.cpp, .h TransfersView.cpp, .h WorkView.cpp, .h David May 27 2004 - Added a mechanism for limiting the number of results sent to a given host in a given day. - added 'nresults_today field' to host DB table - added 'daily_result_quota' element to config.xml and SCHED_CONFIG (optional - gives max results per host per day) - change server logic so that the host record is updated after calling send_work() - change server logic to enforce daily result quota, send message to user if quota exceeded, also write log message if this happens - Added script to send email to all opted-in users NOTE: existing projects will have to update their DB. You can do this using html/ops/db_update.php db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html/ops/ create_forums.php db_update.php mass_email.php (new) sched/ handle_request.C sched_config.C,h sched_send.C David May 27 2004 - update comments in 'start' sched/ start David May 27 2004 - The BOINC app graphics framework does not use (or require the use of) OpenGL. Get rid of all OpenGL stuff in the code. Note: windows_opengl.C is misnamed. api/ graphics_api.C,h windows_opengl.C David May 27 2004 - added support for "static graphics": applications generate graphics from a static image file (part of the workunit) rather than dynamically. - removed cruft from gutil.C: mode_orth_ratio() set_viewport_*() center_screen_ratio() I have no idea what these were for, and perhaps neither did their author. - moved declarations of boinc_ap_mouse_button() etc. to graphics_api.h api/ graphics_api.h gutil.C static_graphics.C (new) windows_opengl.C doc/ graphics.png graphics.sxd David May 27 2004 - negated Windows timezone, and server-side timezone usage client/ hostinfo_win.cpp html/inc/ host.inc Rom May 28 2004 - Fix screensaver issue where somebody may have configured a 0 blank time, if so, the blank time is set to twenty minutes. - Host properties on the BOINC Ops page now shows the nresults_today value - The host failures report now displays the nresults_today client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp html/inc db_ops.inc html/ops/ failure_result_summary_by_host.php Rom May 29 2004 - Fix a possible bug in the new Limiting number of results sent to a host per day due to a floating point issue. sched/ handle_request.C David May 30 2004 - scheduler: modify_host_struct(): modify the actual structure, not a copy (this caused results from new hosts to get zero claimed credit) - numerous web site changes, including: - added "recompute credit" feature for hosts - moved forum files from html/forum to html/user Also changed forum code to use object notation (instead of archaic array notation) and to eliminate the use of global variables - show SETI@home credit, CPU hours html/ inc/ forum.inc forum_show.inc (new) host.inc profile.inc user.inc ops/ forum_repair.php (moved from forum) user/ forum_*.php (new; moved/renamed from forum) host_delete.php host_edit_action.php host_edit_form.php sched/ handle_request.C sched_send.C David May 30 2004 - Add the ability to sort by total or expavg credit in most lists - Fix the "update credit" feature to use the same formula used to compute expavg credit in the first place html/ inc/ host.inc team.inc user.inc user/ host_update_credit.php hosts_user.php top_hosts.php top_teams.php top_users.php Karl 2004-05-31 - update_versions signature files: added feature so that if 'exec-file.sig' exists in a directory, treat it as the signature file for exec-file. tools/ update_versions py/Boinc/ tools.py David May 31 2004 - Web: changed project news mechanism to use RSS (Really Simple Syndication), described here: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss All projects now offer news feed at rss_main.php This code courtesy of Jens Seidler. - SETI@home public site: made front page cached - added index on profile.uotd_time db/ constraints.sql html/ inc/ cache.inc util.inc news.inc (new) user/ rss_main.php sample_index.php old_news.php (new) David May 31 2004 - Changed BOINC news to use RSS also doc/ index.php (new) index.html (removed) rss_main.php (new) David May 31 2004 - API: do not catch HUP, INT or QUIT signals.

I also commented out the version of strlcpy in std_fixes.h - this has the same performance problem. - fixed "show team email addresses" function to not show auths - temporarily turned off user search by name and team search by name; we don't have indices on these fields - file upload handler: show bad-certificate message even if we're not enforcing it. - scheduler: fix insufficient-speed message - validator: print log messages if can't lookup/update anything db/ db_base.h html/ inc/ util.inc user/ forum_text_search* team_email_list.php team_lookup.php user_search_action.php lib/ std_fixes.h sched/ file_upload_handler.C sched_send.C validate.C David 6 June 2004 - change boinc_sleep() to work correctly in the presence of signals - add an implementation of strlcpy() for systems that don't have it lib/ std_fixes.h util.C,h Rom 6 June 2004 - Enable GUI RPC's in the Windows Core Clients - Move Winsock initialization out of each request to a per process thing - Detect error condition where a socket initialization failure would cause an error to be logged continuously client/ client_state.C gui_rpc_server.C main.C client/win/ win_net.cpp win_net.h wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 9 June 2004 - changed boinc_rename() to do backoff and retry, like boinc_fopen() - changed file system ops to use random backoff instead of 1 sec, to avoid lockstep scenario - changed implementation of strlcpy() to use existing library functions (strlen(), memcpy()) since these are probably faster than doing it by hand - moved xml_util.C,h from boinc to seti_boinc/db This code isn't used in BOINC - changed all client/ client_msgs.C, .h gui_rpc_server.C log_flags.C, .h doc/ client_debug.php Jeff 11 June 2004 - The start script now forks before exec'ing the ssh start to remote hosts. Without this, start would run "start" on the first remote host it finds in the config file but would go no further. sched/ start Daniel 11 June 2004 - client: check_idle() now also checks /dev/tty[1-7] (linux). Also put idle checks under #ifdefs. MacOS X idle checks will be more difficult. configure configure.ac config.h.in client/ cs_prefs.C David 11 June 2004 - Windows sockets can't be used in fdopen() (thank you MS), and we wanted all the standard XML output functions to be able to write to either disk or socket (for GUI RPC). So we added a class MIOFILE, with printf() and fgets() member funcs, that can be implemented with either a FILE* or a memory buffer under the hood. - Moved MFILE from api/ to lib/ since it's used in the implementation of MIOFILE - Changed all XML write and parse functions to take MIOFILE& instead of FILE* - Changed GUI RPC client code to use MIOFILEs - Changed GUI RPC protocol so that every reply message ends with a \003 delimiter (to make it unambiguous where reply ends) - removed version number header from GUI RPC (rethink this later) Got this all to work on Unix; will try Windows next api/ Makefile.am mfile.C,h (moved from here) client/ Makefile.am app.C,h client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C cs_statefile.C gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C,h gui_test.C hostinfo.C,h makefile.gui_test miofile.C,h (new) net_stats.C,h net_xfer.h pers_file_xfer.h proxy.C,y scheduler_op.C time_stats.C,h doc/ client_sched.php (new) lib/ Makefile.am mfile.C,h (moved to here) David 11 June 2004 - get core client to compile on Win - graphics API: change max frame rate from 10 to 33.3 api/ windows_opengl.C client/ gui_rpc_server.C miofile.h win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj boinc_gui.vcproj David 11 June 2004 - moved idle-time funcs from cs_prefs.C to hostinfo_unix.C - fixed handling of "messages" in GUI RPC client/ cs_prefs.C gui_rpc_client.C gui_rpc_server.C hostinfo_unix.C Rom June 12 2004 - Cleanup build errors on Windows - Fix the gui rpc to match documentation api/ boinc_api.C, .h gutil.C client/ gui_rpc_client.C gui_rpc_server.C lib/ diagnostics.C parse.h shmem.C util.C, .h win_build/ boinc_guirpc_test.vcproj upper_case.vcproj David June 12 2004 - fix compile errors on Unix apps/ Makefile.am,in David June 12 2004 - added support for name/passwd authentication to HTTP proxies.

This necessitated shuffline some code to move write/parse code from client/ to lib/ client/ app.C hostinfo.C,h (moved from client/ to lib/) hostinfo_network.C,h (new) miofile.C,h (moved from client/ to lib/) win/ hostinfo_win.cpp lib/ app_ipc.C,h win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj boinc_gui.vcproj upper_case.vcproj David 16 June 2004 - unix compile fixes for the above change client/ Makefile.am hostinfo_unix.C lib/ Makefile.am sched/ Makefile.am Daniel 16 June 2004 - client: added implementations of {set,get}utent for lacking systems (BSD, MacOSX) so all_logins_idle() will work. client/ hostinfo_unix.C David 16 June 2004 - renamed client/stdafx.h to lib/boinc_win.h api/ boinc_api.C client/ stdafx.cpp stdafx.h (removed) lib/ boinc_win.h (new) win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj boinc_gui.vcproj boinc_guirpc_test.vcproj David 16 June 2004 - scheduler returns message to client in case of internal errors sched/ main.C,h handle_request.C David 16 June 2004 - change includes from stdafx.h to boinc_win.h - add 1o-minute timeout on all network transfers client/ *.C lib/ *.C Rom 16 June 2004 - Additional include changes from stdafx.h to boinc_win.h api/ *.C client/ *.C lib/ *.C David 16 June 2004 - a few additions to the above api/ graphics_api.C gutil.C reduce.C static_graphics.C windows_opengl.C client/ cpu_benchmark (removed) message.C (removed) win/ wingui.h lib/ boinc_win.h win_build/ boinc_gui.vcproj David 16 June 2004 - fixed shocking error in http.C: in poll function (HTTP_OP_SET::poll()), check for error conditions at the beginning, outside of the switch on http_op_state. Previously we were checking for errors only in a couple of states (CONNECTING, REPLY_BODY) and errors in other states would go undetected. This could account for hangs in file uploads, scheduler RPCs client/ http.C Rom 16 June 2004 - Fix HTTP:OP bug where on an upload and the server responds with a 404- not found for the file_upload_handler would cause the client to delete the result file. client/ pers_file_xfer.C Rom June 15 2004 - Tag for 3.09 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_09 David 16 June 2004 - Change how messages are stored in memory in core client - use a list instead of a vector, ordered new to old - max of 1000 messages (MAX_SAVED_MESSAGES) - add seqno to MESSAGE_DESC - change GUI RPC for getting messages. Instead of "offset", has a "seqno" arg. If nonzero, this is the minimum seqno to return - add message-storage logic to Windows client client/ client_msgs.C,h gui_rpc_server.C main.C win/ wingui.cpp lib/ boinc_win.h win_build/ boinc_guirpc_test.vcproj David 16 June 2004 - get GUI RPC working on UNIX client/ Makefile.am client_msgs.C,h gui_rpc_client.C,h makefile.gui_test Rom June 16 2004 - Tag for 3.10 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_10 David 17 June 2004 - Change the way we get local host's domain name on UNIX: instead of gethostbyname() (which has nightmarish linkage problems that no one quite understands) use "ping", which we assume exists on all UNIX systems, and parse its output - Allow Python scripts to access remote databases (courtesy of Carl C.) client/ gui_rpc_server.C hostinfo_network.C,h hostinfo_unix.C win/ hostinfo_win.cpp py/Boinc/ database.py David 17 June 2004 - Not so fast! "ping -c 1 hostname" hangs forever on Linux if hostname is unreachable. "ping -c 1 -w 1 hostname" works, but the -w option doesn't exist on Solaris! So... try with -w, and if get an error, try without.

I forgot that gethostbyname() is unavoidably used when contacting servers, so all this ping stuff is a total waste of time! Changed things back to the way they were originally. client/ hostinfo_network.C net_xfer.C Rom June 18 2004 - Tag for 3.16 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_16 David 2004.06.18 - add timestamps to messages written stdout/err.txt in Win client/win/ wingui.cpp David 2004.06.18 - updated zip/unzip files (from Carl) lib/ boinc_zip.C,h (removed) zip/ various Rom June 19 2004 - Tag for 3.17 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_17 Rom June 19 2004 - Lengthen the benchmarks so even on slow machines they won't get stuck in an endless loop waiting on a file that has already come and gone. client/ cs_benchmark.C Rom June 19 2004 - Tag for 3.18 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_3_18 David 20 June 2004 - db_dump.C: major revision: make it configurable, using an XML config file. Lets you say what you want exported, how to sort, whether to compress etc. - destroy_shmem: try to destroy even if there are attachments. Somehow ipcrm always destroys the seg. How do they do it? - assimilator: print error and exit if handler returns nonzero lib/ shmem.C sched/ assimilator.C db_dump.C David 21 June 2004 - Web: when displaying results, try to show "---" (i.e. undefined) where a field isn't determined yet. Show "pending" instead of 0 for granted credit of unvalidated results html/inc/ result.inc Brian 22 June 2004 - server: renamed all functions, structures and database items that associated with trickle_up or down and renamed to msg_from_host and msg_to_host repectively, - Deleted result and app fields from the database entry for msg_from_host (trickle_up) to make more generic of a message that has no app or result associated it with it - Changed methods that use these fields to ignore old functionality, will update when new method agreed upon - sched/ handle_request.C sched_config.C sched_config.h server_types.h - db/ schema.sql BOINC_db.C constraints.sql David 22 June 2004 - client: handle a "down for maintenance" RPC reply as a failure, i.e. do a backoff on the project. This should hopefully fix a problem where if a project is down, and a client has a result to report, it will do an RPC every second, creating an overload on the server. Do this by adding a new optional element to scheduler replies. - If get a from scheduler, don't let that override the current min_rpc_time; instead, take the max of the two. - Change the implementation of trickle messages. Instead of using dedicated trickle_up and trickle_down DB tables, use more general msg_from_host and msg_to_host tables. These will be used also for data management, i.e. to send upoad or download requests to specific hosts. client/ cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C,h db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ assimilator.C handle_request.C main.C server_types.C,h trickle_handler.C Karl 2004-06-24 - OpenBSD compile fixes from Daniel Hartmeier lib/ util.C filesys.C sched/ sched_send.C Karl 2004-06-24 - update_versions: only match exec_file if it's the same as the directory. This makes executable selection deterministic. tools/ update_versions David 24 June 2004 - turn off sorting in team member display (slow query) - show only up to 1000 users/teams/hosts - use URL_BASE instead of MASTER_URL in page_tail() - fix php typos html/ inc/ team.inc util.inc user/ team_display.php top_*.php Brian 24 June 2004 - msg_from_host no longer have preceding and trailing flags in scheduler reply. All tags will be included as part of the XML blob to be created by whatever program handles the message. Sched/ server_types.C Rom 25 June 2004 - Numerious file additions to the new client gui - Fixed a user feedback issue between restarting vs. resuming text when describing restarting of a task. - Limit the transitioner to a resultset of 5000 in it's workunit query so it doesn't spend so much time waiting on the database and order by tansition_time so we see the oldest to the newest. - Include the prototypes of the new language translation files based off of the standards used the wxWidgets, These files were constructed using an automated tool called poEdit. client/ app.C clientgui/ clientgui/locale/ en_US.* sched/ transitioner.C Rom 25 June 2004 - Add the ability to just shutdown the website so we can reduce traffic html/inc/ util.inc Karl 2004-06-27 - fix to log directory creation from Chrischan sched/ main.C David 27 June 2004 - add a -mod N I option to the transitioner; causes the transitioner to handle only WUs for which ID % N == I. Can use this to parallelize the transitioner, either on a single multi-CPU machine or across multiple machines sched/ transitioner.C David 27 June 2004 - changes (from Carl C.) to get rid of signal usage in zip/unzip code zip/unzip fileio.c unzip.c zip/zip zip.c zipcloak.c zipnote.c zipsplit.c David 27 June 2004 - Added core->app heartbeat mechanism so that apps will quit if the core client dies (i.e. if no heartbeat message arrives in 5 seconds). Suppress this if app is standalone. Also provide messages that let the core disable/enable the mechanism (to support debugging of the core client) - Added a 3rd message channel for suspend/resume/quit messages, to replace signals. This isn't used now. - Restored code in APP_CLIENT_SHM that checks the "full" bit before writing a message. This may cause problems. NOTE: this is a backwards-incompatible change to the core/app interface, so it requires a major version change (will do later) api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C,h lib/ app_ipc.C,h David 27 June 2004 - Add a lock file mechanism to prevent two apps from running in the same slot at the same time. boinc_init() tries to lock the file; if it fails, wait for 7 seconds to allow the old process to die (the heartbeat timeout is 5 seconds) then try again. If fail again, exit. api/ boinc_api.C client/ client_state.C hostinfo_unix.C lib/ app_ipc.h Rom 27 June 2004 - Prevent the reuse of shared memory segments with ones that are already in use on Windows. client/ app.C lib/ shmem.C Rom 27 June 2004 - Introduce the notion of high priority queries for mysql queries and implement them for the transitioner db/ db_base.C, .h sched/ transitioner.C Karl 2004-06-28 - added configure-time option for building server+client or only client configure.ac Makefile.am m4/ kc_mysql.m4 [regenerated: configure, aclocal.m4, */Makefile.in] Daniel 29 June 2004 - Check user idle time only if preferences require. Some users worried that we were sniffing the keyboard. - get rid of the CLIENT_STATE::user_idle variable; call the function directly - on Windows, move logic from GUI code to non-GUI (hostinfo_win.cpp) client/ client_state.C,h cs_files.C cs_prefs.C hostinfo_unix.C win/ hostinfo_win.cpp wingui_mainwindow.cpp,h lib/ hostinfo.h David 29 June 2004 - fix window compile by moving DLL handle out of HOSTINFO class client/ app.C win/ hostinfo_win.cpp wingui_mainwindow.cpp lib/ hostinfo.h Daniel 29 June 2004 - New client CPU scheduler, as specified in client_sched.php - Fixed NULL pointer bug in create_shmem when calling with pp=NULL (fixed by Dave) client/ app.{C,h} client_state.{C,h} client_types.{C,h} cs_apps.C cs_prefs.C cs_scheduler.C cs_statefile.C gui_titles.C gui_titles.h win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp lib/ shmem.C Karl 2004-06-30 - updated 'about' dialog to remove "beta" and add UCB SSL copyright client/ win/ boinc_gui.rc - visual studio installer projects (create MSIs) boinc_setup creates an MSI with dialogs and options (launch on bootup, desktop icon, etc.). boinc_setup_auto creates an MSI that installs immediately with no prompting, ideal for Windows group policy to apply to many computers win_build/ boinc_setup.vdproj boinc_setup_auto.vdproj David 30 June 2004 - PHP code: change parse_config() so that it doesn't read the config file; you have to read it first into a variable (using get_config()) and pass it in to parse_config() This saves work when you want to look at several config params. - db_init(): parse the DB hostname and use it in mysql_connect. This lets you run the web site from a different host than DB - disallow caching of top_* pages with random offsets - change cache period of top_* pages to 12 hours - fix bug in user name search (escape _, %) html/ inc/ db.inc db_ops.inc util.inc user/ create_account_action.php create_account_form.php profile_menu.php sample_rss_main.php top_hosts.php top_teams.php top_users.php Eric K 30 June 2004 - Removed "using" directives from header files. "using" directives should not be used in header files for the following reasons. - A "using namespace" directive cannot be revoked for any source file including the header. It forces the use of the namespace regardless of the consequences. - Dropping the namespace qualifier on STL templates ambiguates the resolution of template functions. (How many C libraries or headers have you seen that define the function min()?) - Reducing typing is not a good reason to drop namespace qualifiers any more than it would be a good idea to "#define p printf" - Namespaces exist for a reason. - It's acceptable to have "using" directive in a source file, since it won't affect other files. It's better to have "using std::string;" directives than "using namespace std;" for hopefully obvious reasons. David 30 June 2004 - change feeder query to eliminate 'order by random' and add a limit of 100. - change db_dump to not get counts, since these are slow on InnoDB sched/ db_dump.C feeder.C Daniel 30 June 2004 - Continuing Eric's vanquishing of "using" directives from header files. Moved "using" directives from inside "#ifndef _WIN32" blocks. Should compile under Windows now. client/ client_msgs.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp wingui_mainwindow.h lib/ miofile.C msg_log.C parse.C util.C Daniel 30 June 2004 - Minor changes: changed scheduling period from 30 secs to 1 hour. - Got rid of float.h in cs_apps.C. client/ client_state.C cs_apps.C Brian 1 July 2004 - Continuing Eric and Daniel's vanquishing of "using" directives from header files. Instances of string or vector in header files were changed to std::string and std::vector respectively. client/ gui_rpc_client.h Rom 1 July 2004 - Introduce skeleton of new transitioner queue class that uses a specialized query for its job. NOTE: I don't know if it will even compile, but need another set of eyes looking over it as well. db/ db_base.C, .h boinc_db.C, .h Daniel 2004-07-01 - client: scheduler now only calls set_client_state_dirty if some task was started or stopped (i.e. set of running tasks changed). Also, don't try to schedule CPUs if there are no projects or no results. client/ cs_apps.C Daniel 2004-07-01 - Yet more fixes related to recent "using" directive checkins... client/ app.C cs_scheduler.C gui_rpc_client.C hostinfo_unix.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 1 July 2004 - trickle message support: - core client: send message to app when appropriate - boinc_api: implement boinc_receive_trickle_down() - blind attempt to fix HTTP auth crash: check for empty URL on redirect api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C,h cs_trickle.C hostinfo_unix.C http.C lib/ app_ipc.h error_numbers.h Karl 2004-07-02 - compile fixes db/ boinc_db.C sched/ transitioner.C Daniel 2004-07-02 - fixed bug that caused CPU scheduler to decrease debts of projects that didn't have results running. - also undid 2004-07-01 change that only dirtied state file when apps were started or preempted. Need to dirty state file every time the scheduler recomputes debts. client/ cs_apps.C David 2 July 2004 - Changed the way result templates are stored with workunits. Instead of storing them as blobs, store a filename relative to project root dir. This is to speed up DB. - disable web command to update host credit - turn off web commands to show results for host/user, and pending credit - pruned command-line options from create_work. You now have to run it in project root dir, and it gets info from config file. Project note: this will require either 1) dropping your workunit and result tables or 2) modifying your workunit table (see ops/db_update.php) db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html/ inc/ host.inc ops/ db_update.php user/ pending.php results.php sched/ feeder.C transitioner.C tools/ backend_lib.C,h create_work.C process_result_template.C Daniel 2004-07-02 - API: provide is_worker (default to true) parameter to boinc_init and boinc_finish. - Applications for which is_worker=false CANNOT access shared memory segment that is used for status updates. But they can still use BOINC graphics API. - API: deleted standalone parameter to boinc_init. standalone status is already detected in boinc_init automatically. It should be sufficient for testing purposes. - FORTRAN API also changed. - Documentation updated to reflect API changes. api/ boinc_api.C boinc_api.h boinc_api_fortran.C doc/ api.php compound_app.php David 2 July 2004 - added new classes DB_RESULT_DONE, DB_WORK_ITEM, DB_ACCOUNT_INFO for efficient DB access - feeder: don't need to check server state because scheduler also checks - sched_config.parse(): if db host is current host, substitute "localhost" db/ boinc_db.C,h sched/ feeder.C sched_config.C tools/ create_work.C David 3 July 2004 - Changed feeder to use DB_WORK_ITEM for database fetch. This gets a stream of (result ID, WU) pairs instead of getting a stream of results and then fetching the WUs separately (avoid all those round-trips to DB) sched/ feeder.C db/ boinc_db.C,h David 3 July 2004 - tweak DB_WORK_ITEM for performance: use mysql_use_result() instead of mysql_store_result(); use high_priority Feeder is performing well now, except that there are long gaps when waiting for query to start returning - Increase delay request to 1 hour when no work, bad auth etc. - turn off showing results for host TODO: parameterize web site feature flags db/ boinc_db.C html/inc/ host.inc sched/ handle_request.C sched_send.C Daniel 2004-07-03 - API: boinc_init now only checks for lockfile if called by worker applications. This way, we can have many non-worker apps in addition to one worker app. api/ boinc_api.C Rom 3 July 2004 - Introduce basic transaction support for performance DB class. - Implement basic transsction support for the transitioner. db/ boinc_db.C db_base.C, .h sched/ transitioner.C Rom 3 July 2004 - Plug a memory leak in the transitioner db/ boinc_db.C David 4 July 2004 - scheduler: if client is requesting work, and client is not returning results, and there's no work, then send "No work available" message and return without opening DB - scheduler: if client has wrong major version, and is not returning results, return without opening DB sched/ handle_request.C main.C sched_shmem.C,h David 6 July 2004 - Completed (more or less) the implementation of trickle messages. Some changes: - Trickle-up messages now have a "variety", specified by the application. Typically it's the name of the application. The trickle-up handler (on the server side) specifies what variety of message it wants to handle. - boinc_receive_trickle_down() no longer returns the message itself; instead, it returns the name of the file. The app must open, read and delete the file. NOTE: the structure of the msg_to_host and msg_from_host tables is changed. Projects will want to drop and recreate these. api/ boinc_api.C,h client/ app.C cs_scheduler.C cs_trickle.C scheduler_op.C,h db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql lib/ diagnostics.h filesys.C sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C,h trickle_handler.C Brian 6 July 2004 - Changed client so that when a file info is compared to an existing file info with the same name, the differences in whether it is an upload or download are updated and any urls that are not present in the file info are added to the url list. - When a url is requested for a file info, the file info checks whether it is an upload, and then looks for the substring "file_upload_handler" any url it is trying to use to upload the file. The opposite is true for downloads. - Changed get_url into three separate functions: get_current_url(bool), returns the current good url get_init_url(bool), returns the initial good url and sets the start url get_next_url(book), increments current_url and finds the next good url - Changed client so that a file_info will save its signed xml even if it doesn't include have xml signature. - Updated the client so that the check to see if the url is valid for the type of network request is a private function of FILE_INFO - Modified the backoff_retry function in persistant_file_xfers so that it uses the updated get_url that checks if the url is correct for the type of transfer. Otherwise it could increment the current_url index to point to an invalid url - If a file_info doesn't have a max number of bytes and a new file_info with the same name does, update the max number of bytes of the existing file_info and add the to the signed_xml. - when file_xfer is complete, the client checks if the file was meant to be uploaded when present OR generated locally before setting it to ready to report, instead of only the later - With the addition of multiple urls, the issue of sending urls that didn't communicate well or got garbage. Whenever a file get's a server error, it calls, check_giveup, which only gives up on the file if there are no more urls to try. Also is called if the downloaded file is garbage or has the same name but not the correct size. - added functionality for send_file_list but does not do anything yet client/ client_types.C,h client_state.h cs_apps.C cs_file.C cs_scheduler.C file_xfer.C pers_file_xfer.C,h scheduler_op.C,h Daniel 2004-07-06 - client: when a project fails to attach, call quit_activities() before exit(1) so other running apps will terminate. client/ main.C Rom 6 July 2004 - Removed ';' from queries that had them since the API Docs state not to put them in the query. - Implement a scheduler optimization so we do one batched read and one transactional write. In the worst case scenario where the client had submitted 20 results we would do 41 reads and 40 writes just to update the results. Now we batch read all the results at one time and surround the write requests within a transaction. So now our worst case scenario is 2 reads and 40 writes within a transaction. db/ boinc_db.C, .h db_base.C sched/ handle_request.C Daniel 2004-07-06 - CPU scheduler only considers resource shares for projects that have a runnable result. - Bound debt to [-1 day * ncpus, 1 day * ncpus] - deleted some dead code client/ app.C cs_apps.C cs_trickle.C Daniel 2004-07-06 - client: work requests now include tag. - scheduler: support for resource_share_fraction when checking for wu feasibility, consider resource share of project to determine estimated wallclock duration - scheduler: syntax bug fix in validator client/ cs_scheduler.C sched/ sched_send.C server_types.C server_types.h validate.C Daniel 2004-07-06 - client: bugfix in make_scheduler_request client/ cs_scheduler.C Daniel 2004-07-06 - uh, messed up doing a commit. but i put the "correct" files back. sorry. client/ app.C client_state.h cs_prefs.C scheduler_op.C Rom 6 July 2004 - Added event handler so we are notified of a system shutdown/logoff which will allow us to shutdown gacefully instead of the OS terminating us. - Do a little clean up work with the resource files in the hope that visual studio won't remove the win_config.h reference the next time the resources are modified. client/win/ boinc_cli.rc boinc_dll.rc boinc_gui.rc boinc_ss.rc wingui_mainwindow.cpp, .h Rom 6 July 2004 - Reduce the total number of messages the system attempts to keep in the messages tab to 200. 2000 was a bit much and caused the system to spend some time processing when there were quite a few messages to go through, such as in Predictor@home - Moved the code that checkes the total number of messages available in the message tab out of the switch/case chunk of code so that it happens more frequently than when the user clicks on the messages tab, which could take awhile if there was more than 1000 messages. client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp, .h Rom 7 July 2004 - Adjust the console control handler such that when a logoff event has occurred check to see if we are running as a service and if so, ignore the event, otherwise quit. Thanks to Fernando Vinan-Cano via John McLeod client/ main.C Daniel 2004-07-07 - client: set the result exit_code to a non-zero value when: 1. the result couldn't start 2. the result had a download error 3. the result had an upload error (unless the exit_code was already non-zero) This should get the validator to mark these results as invalid and solve the problem the predictor@home people reported. client/ client_state.C lib/ error_numbers.h David 7 July 2004 - Implement revised core/app interface (see boinc/doc/api_v4.php). - Augment the set of shared-memory message channels; add a channel for suspend/resume/quit messages (these replace the use of signals and SuspendThread calls); add separate channels for trickle up/down - Modify the API library accordingly. Currently works for Windows; will do UNIX later - Modify the core client (app.C) accordingly - Call ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll() even when activities suspended; still need to send heartbeats. - added MSG_CHANNEL class to make code better organized api/ boinc_api.C windows_opengl.C client/ app.C,h client_state.C lib/ app_ipc.C,h Daniel 2004-07-08 - NetBSD compile fixes from John Klos (just added __NetBSD__ wherever __OpenBSD__ appeared) lib/ filesys.C util.C David 8 July 2004 - got the new core/app interface working on Unix. I looked into implementing the management functions using a thread (with pthreads). But the pthreads interface is kinda bizarre. E.g. you can't suspend another thread. You can send it a signal - but the signal handler is not allowed to make any pthreads calls! WTF??? - Added suspend/resume GUI RPCs; changed gui_test to take a cmdline arg: -state -suspend -resume api/ boinc_api.C client/ app.C gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C gui_test.C David 8 July 2004 - Change the ind_res_st index (on result) from (server_state, random) to just (server_state). This makes the feeder's DB query somewhat faster (I think). The price we pay is that results from the same WU may be sent out close together in time. - make download page cached NOTE TO PROJECTS: this requires an update to your database. See html/ops/db_update.php db/ boinc_db.C constraints.sql html/ ops/ db_update.php index.php user/ download.php Daniel 2004-07-08 - Changed OpenBSD- and NetBSD-specific #ifdef's to be determined by autoconf. No idea if this works on OpenBSD/NetBSD yet. Makefile.in aclocal.m4 config.h.in configure configure.ac lib/ filesys.C util.C */ Makefile.in Brian 8 July 2004 - Fixed a small bug in allowed_disk_usage where the global_prefs.disk_max_used_pct was directly multiplied by the total disk, creating a disk value that was a factor of 100 off, effectively never becoming the min value returned by the function. client/ cs_prefs.C Karl 2004-07-08 - fixes for boinc_thread_cpu_time vs. boinc_calling_thread_cpu_time lib/ util.h api/ boinc_api.h boinc_api_fortran.C client/ dhrystone.C whetstone.C Karl 2004-07-09 - fixed CURSOR initialization problem (found by Carl Christensen) - CURSOR now initializes itself; classes that use it don't need to initialize it anymore - removed superfluous 'CURSOR cursor' in DB_WORK_ITEM -- is this correct? - if there should be two cursors, they should be named differently -- otherwise it is way too easy to use the wrong one in multiple inheritance db/ boinc_db.h boinc_db.C db_base.h db_base.C Karl 2004-07-09 - graphics API updates - fixed potential buffer overflows api/ static_graphics.C gutil.C gutil.h Daniel 2004-07-09 - Don't send heartbeats to, send trickle downs to, or get status messages from apps without shared memory initialized (i.e. PROCESS_UNINITIALIZED) client/ app.C David 9 July 2004 - Implemented GUI RPCs for - showing graphics (one result or all, window or fullscreen) - project reset, attach, detach - Added cmdline options to gui_test to exercise the above client/ gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C gui_test.C Brian 9 July 2004 - Changed server side conception of gigabyte to match client side. - (1024.*1024.*1024.) instead of 1e9 - makes sure that project will get work if there is space on client sched/ sched_send.C Jeff 9 July 2004 - create_work() now take a new parameter - the path to the result template file. This was needed because some programs (eg the sah splitter) are not run from the project root directory. tools/ backend_lib.C backend_lib.h create_work.C David 9 July 2004 - Integrate code (courtesy of James Drews) that lets you limit the set of hosts from which the core client will accept GUI RPCs. Here's how it works: make a file "remote_hosts" in the BOINC directory with a list of hostnames (# for comment). The core client will accept connections only from localhost and from hosts in this list. Note: if the -allow_remote_gui_rpc option is given, ALL connections are accepted. - add a "-host x" cmdline arg to gui_test - add error checking to GUI_RPC_CLIENT so that it can tell if its connection was rejected - remove .gz target from client makefile client/ Makefile.am file_names.h gui_rpc_client.C,h gui_rpc_server.C,h gui_test.C tools/ create_work.C
