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, and from there to the servers of other project. 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.

Use this instead of strncpy(). client/ app.C client_state.C,h cs_scheduler.C hostinfo.C prefs.C,h scheduler_op.C,h html_users/ add_venue_action.php prefs.inc show_host_detail.php user.inc lib/ parse.C,h util.C,h sched/ Makefile.in server_types.C David Mar 6 2003 - new show_message() conventions (not fully implemented): - all error conditions should call show_message() with MSG_ERROR - all log writes should use show_message() with MSG_INFO TODO: change Win implementation of show_message() to write to window AND to file (stderr.txt or stdout.txt) - messages are now timestamped and show project name - use start_table() and row2() more uniformly in user HTML - user HTML: show message if can't connect to DB - standardize terminology in user HTML: "general prefs", "default computer location", etc. client/ client_state.C cs_scheduler.C main.C message.h scheduler_op.C doc/ prefs.html html_user/ add_venue_form.php bug_report_form.php create_account*.php db.inc edit_email_form.php edit_user_info_form.php index.php login*.php prefs.inc prefs_edit_form.php show_user.php team_create_form.php top_hosts.php user.inc util.inc lib/ util.C,h sched/ *.C Eric March 7, 2003 - Moved common functions (write_log, check_trigger, update_average) into sched_util.C - Added stop_server checking to more server programs - Added update_stats program to periodically update exponential average credit for users and hosts, and to update team credit by summing member credit - Added db_sum, db_query_double to retrieve sums of columns (used by update_stats) - Added db_user_sum_team_expavg_credit, db_user_sum_team_total_credit, db_user_count_team for updating team statistics - Confirmed that current exponential average algorithm is correct db/ mysql_util.C,h db_mysql.C db.h html_user/ top_teams.php sched/ Makefile.in *.C sched_util.C,h (added) update_stats.C (added) Seth March 10, 2003 - changed windows graphics handling again. client/app messaging now mainly consists of the client polling the app windows, with apps messaging the client when they change modes. moved most of this into the client's child screensaver window. api/ windows_opengl.cpp client/win/ wingui_sswindow.cpp,h wingui_mainwindow.cpp,h Eric March 11, 2003 - changed client exit to send a quit request to the apps, wait 1 second for them to quit, then kill them if they're still open. This allows applications to do a final checkpoint before quitting, rather than lose their recent work - changed boinc_sleep to accept fractional sleep values apps/ concat.C upper_case.C client/ app.C,h client_state.C cs_apps.C test_*.C lib/ util.C,h Eric March 12, 2003 - Quit requests are now sent via the SIGQUIT signal (on UNIX) or a named Event (on Windows), rather than via an XML file api/ boinc_api.C,h client/ app.C,h Eric March 13, 2003 - Added System V message queue functions to library lib/ msg_queue.C,h msg_test.C David Mar 15 2003 - added some state diagrams to docs - changed var name from "giveup_after" to "file_xfer_giveup_period" PLEASE USE MEANINGFUL NAMES, especially for global vars todo api/ boinc_api.h client/ app.C client_state.C,h pers_file_xfer.C,h doc/ various sched/ feeder.C Eric March 17, 2003 - Changed app->client communication to use shared memory rather than files. 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. This seems to improve speed on Windows 98. - Added memory deallocation routine for client_state vectors.

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.

If so set its status to ERR_FILE_TOO_BIG. This will prevent the client from trying to upload it.
