The ignored posts will appear as filtered. To use this the forum_preferences table needs a new column: ALTER TABLE `forum_preferences` ADD `ignorelist` VARCHAR( 254 ) NOT NULL ; - Added thread name to page title in forums (from Athlonrob) - Round scores and ratings in forum to avoid a rating of for instance 2.999999999 /html/user edit_forum_preferences_form.php edit_forum_preferences_action.php forum_thread.php /html/inc forum.inc Rom 6 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: fix crashing bug when running the old gui and new gui side by side - Bug Fix: Fix sync bug in new gui related to how the number of rows were being calculated - Bug Fix: Remove the explict call to freeze/thaw which was causing the messages tab to flicker even when the data has not changed. - Bug Fix: On Windows systems that support tooltip bubbles, don't populate the regular tooltip field as it will appear before the bubble request and makes the taskbar applet appear ugly - Bug Fix: The new gui should enforce closing down the core client when it launches the core client, we were using the wxWidget framework to do this, but the call to wxProcess::Exists causes an assert on Windows if the process doesn't exist. And sometimes crashes in a release build. - Bug Fix: When syncing the views cache make sure there is at least one item to syncronize, otherwise we'll reference a NULL pointer and blow up.

A brief summary of the changes is: lockfile: replace calls to exit() by boinc_finish() + make boinc_finish() remove the lockfile graphics-eventloop: some re-structuring and simplification to make handling of glut-exits/abort-signals more robust. Eric, if you could test this under Solaris we'd be very grateful. api/ boinc_api.C graphics_impl.C x_opengl.C diagnostics.C filesys.C Rom 7 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: The screensaver doesn't really need to update every second. change it to update once a minute. - Bug Fix: The screensaver only needs to detect if BOINC is running once, if it doesn't detect it display the not detected message. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp David 7 Jan 2005 - off-by-1 error caused trivial validator to not work sched/ validate_util.C David 7 Jan 2005 - moved dir hierarchy code from lib/util.C to sched/sched_util.C - buffer was too small by 1 byte in md5_file.C lib/ md5_file.C util.C,h sched/ file_deleter.C sched_util.C,h David 7 Jan 2005 - Changed Makefile.am's to use libraries (libboinc.a, libsched.a) instead of listing separate .o files Makefile.incl sched/ Makefile.am wu_check.C tools/ Makefile.am backend_lib.C dir_hier_move.C dir_hier_path.C David 7 Jan 2005 - Win compile fix api/ boinc_api.C David 7 Jan 2005 - add "ignorelist" field to forum_preferences - add script for correcting team.nusers (can drift away from correct value for some reason) - User web mods: - improve result field explanations - user date_str() instead of time_str() when showing signup date db/ schema.sql html/ inc/ result.inc team.inc user.inc util.inc ops/ db_update.php team_repair.php (new) user/ explain_state.php Bruce 8 Jan 2005 In order to coordinate better with David, I am doing a slightly premature checkin of modifications to scheduling locality. The basic idea is to provide a simple notification mechanism to the project, so that if no work is currently available for a given data file, there is an opportunity to make such work. This is controlled by an additional tag in config.xml, of the form: <locality_scheduling_wait_period> N </locality_scheduling_wait_period> where N is some number of seconds. If this new tag is absent, then the locality scheduler behaves as before. The modification to behavior happens in send_results_for_file(). This is the function that queries the database to see if there are unsent results available for a given (large) data file on the host. Previously, if such results are not found the scheduler gives up and tries sending other results. With this modification, if N is nonzero, then if no results are found the scheduler touches a file with the same name as the host's data file, in a directory PROJECT_ROOT/locality_scheduling/need_work/ The scheduler then sleeps for N seconds, and makes one additional attempt to find suitable unsent results. The idea is that in this interval, the project has an opportunity to make additional WU for this file, which the transitioner can convert to unsent results. [Note, the transaction for the first query is completed before the sleep(N), and a new transaction is initiated afterwards. So there is no 'sleep within a transaction'.] This delay allows the project to make additional workunits suitable for the host's existing data files. In addition, if the project determines that NO further workunits can be made for a given data file, then the project can touch a file with the same name as the input data file, in a directory PROJECT_ROOT/locality_scheduling/no_work_available/ If the scheduler finds this warning then it assumes that the project can not manufacture additional WU for this data file and skips the 'notify, sleep, query again' sequence above. Of course it still does the initial query, so if the transitioner has made some new results for an existing (old) WU, they will get picked up. This mechanism is robust in the sense that if the signals fail for any reason, or (say) the WU are not converted into unsent results quickly enough by the transitioner, or if they are snapped up by some other host, then the scheduler simply proceeds as with its current unmodified behavior and nothing goes wrong. In other words, the signals can be ignored at any time and for any time without adverse consequences. TODO: further testing. sched/ sched_locality.C David 8 Jan 2005 Some changes related to locality scheduling: - Factored Bruce's new code into a separate function, make_more_work_for_file() - Remove the 'id>X' stuff from queries. Assuming that work is fairly homogeneous (i.e. no results are rejected because of resource requirements) this is not needed. If a result has already been sent, it won't qualify for the select anyway. - Add a 'workunitid<>X' clause to the queries. This is to make the process of enforcing the one_result_per_wu_per_user rule more efficient. If the rule is not in effect, X is zero (so always true) - If two consecutive select queries return the same result, break out of the loop (avoid undesired looping) - Use a for i=1,100 loop instead of a while(1) loop around the work-sending logic, to avoid infinite loops just in case sched/ sched_locality.C David 8 Jan 2005 - Implement the <locality_scheduling_wait_period> element in config.xml If present, this tells the scheduler how long to sleep between requesting more work for a file and looking for it (and giving up if it's not there) If absent, the scheduler doesn't request more work unit generation. sched/ sched_config.C,h sched_locality.C David 9 Jan 2005 - fix memory leak in get_insert_id() db/ db_base.C David 9 Jan 2005 - user profile fixes - disallow thread titles consisting only of HTML tags html/inc/ forum.inc profile.inc David 9 Jan 2005 - message board fixes - show thread titles using htmlspecialchars() prevent invisible titles html/ inc/ forum.inc forum_show.inc user/ forum_thread.php Rom 9 Jan 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.58 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_58 David 9 Jan 2005 - fix a buffer overrun problem by using std::string in DB_BASE::insert_batch() db/ db_base.C,h sched/ transitioner.C David 10 Jan 2005 - client: fix bug where "requesting more work" messages are generate every second when all projects are suspended client/ client_types.h cs_scheduler.C David 10 Jan 2005 - locality scheduling changes: Changed the algorithms a bit to avoid lots of DB queries Invariant: for a given file/user pair, results are sent in order of increasing ID (i.e. the result sent is that with the smallest ID among all those that CAN be sent). This ensures that: - the result for given WU will be sent around the same time send_results_for_file(): 1) of results for this file sent to this user, find the one R with largest ID 2) find unsent result R2 for this file with next ID greater than R, and (if one result per user per WU) different workunitid than ALL previous results sent to this user. 3) if need more results, set R = R2 and go to 2) send_new_file_work(): min_id = 0 while need more work find unsent result R with id>min_id of least ID min_id = R.id (Note: this is necessary to preserve the invariant) Changed make_more_work_for_file() to return zero for success (BOINC convention) db/ db_base.C,h sched/ sched_locality.C David 11 Jan 2005 more locality sched changes (with Bruce Allen) - Added a notion of "working set" of files. If a host doesn't have a file, the scheduler picks a random entry from the working set and tries to send it work from that file. The project must supply a daemon program that maintains the working set (could be the same as the work generator) - Added config.locality_scheduling_send_timeout. If any unsent result is older than this, send it to the first eligible host - If a host already has files, randomize their order - Integrate work-generator invocation in send_results_for_file() - If can't send a result because of no app_version, give up lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ sched_locality.C Janus 12 Jan 2005 - Removed check for $user->disabled_filtering which no longer exists. - Added output of CVS version information if available. Someone with time on their hands should add the following line to all the PHP and include files (right after the inital <php (remove the star! - inserted to avoid having CVS generate the info...): $cvs_version_tracker[]="\$I*d$"; //Generated automatically - do not edit (bug and idea found by Bruce Allen) html/inc util.inc forum_show.inc Bruce 12 Jan 2005 more locality sched changes. - bug fix 1, trivial, n % 0 generates FPE if no files. - bug fix 2, subtle. In the deterministic hunt to find the next unsent result, the comparison of the result name must be done with the lexically maximum result name constructed from the given filename. Eg, if one needs name>FILE_ZZZZ...Z where Z=0xff (is this charset independent??) and the total name length is 255 (or is it 254??). - David, I'll clean out some of the debugging scaffolding in a few more days, when I get some confidence that there are not other problems to fix! Please read embedded comments/questions in code. - Some more comemnts added later. We do sometimes get non-zero return values from possibly_send_result(). I think that this is because you've failed to match up the start_transaction and commit_transaction pairs. Be careful: sleeps AND modifies the DB. Right now I am too tired to fix this without making it worse. Your turn. - A few other comments. Currently, I am 'advertising' filenames returned by get_working_set_filename() for TWO types of files: (1) those for which I can make more work (2) those for which I can NOT make more work, but where you have not flagged with flag_for_possible_removal(). I am not sure that I understand the intent of flag_for_possible_removal(). You surely are not guaranteeing that no results will ever appear in the future for these files (outstanding results might fail). So what is my WU generator supposed to do with flag_for_possible_removal? Is (2) above correct? - Finally, I have not yet seen a SINGLE instance of a flag_for_possible_removal. Is the logic right? sched/ sched_locality.C David 12 Jan 2005 - xml_escape() and xml_unescape(): handle non-ASCII characters lib/ parse.C Rom 12 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: Fix the bug where the screensaver wasn't saving the configuration settings to the registry without the prep work done by the previous installer. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h Bruce 13 Jan 2005 - Various efforts to fix CVS 'loginfo' file so that we get auto mailings of changes to the top level directory. The main problem is that one can't use "^boinc[ ]" or "^boinc\ " or "^boinc\#20" as a regex to try and match the name of the top level directory with no trailing slash. What a mess! - More work on sched_locality.C. Note that the 'wacky' warning is actually not impossible. Consider the following scenario: WU A has result 1 and WU B has result 2. These are both sent to a host. Some time later, result 1 fails and the transitioner creates a new result, result 3 for WU A. Then the host requests a new result. The maximum result already sent to the host is 2. The next unsent result (sorted by ID) is #3. But since it is for WU A, and since the host has already gotten a result for WU A, it's infeasible. So I think this is only wacky if !one_wu_per_result_per_host. - David, I simplified the inner part of send_results_for_file() somewhat. I can't see the need/use for the bool bool in_working_set argument. If I have really screwed the pooch please revert. sched/ sched_locality.C David 13 Jan 2005 - Core client: when get a workunit from scheduler, clear errors (e.g. download failures) for all files associated with this WU (this is down in a new function WORKUNIT::clear_errors()) Without this, if a file common to multiple WUs had a download failure, all WUs would fail until user resets project!! - Giant bug in HTTP file transfer: If a network connection failed in the middle, it wasn't being distinguished from a completed download; the file size would be checked at the PERS_FILE_XFER level, and it would get a "bad file size" fatal error. Fix: when get EOF from a network connection reading HTTP reply, compare the bytes transferred with the content-length from HTTP header. If not equal, classify it as an error. This will cause higher levels to view it as a transient error, and restart the download later. - PERS_FILE_XFER::poll(): the check for actual file size == desired file size was inexplicably being done even for file uploads, and even in cases where another error had occurred. Do it only for download success cases. client/ client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C http.C pers_file_xfer.C Rom 13 Jan 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.59 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_59 David 13 Jan 2005 - user web: in thread page, show numbered lists of pages correctly Also get rid of goofy big/bold stuff - page_tail(): use the current year (not necessarily 2004) for copyright - add warning about CPU overheating to Rules/Policies page - use tables for result state explanations html/ inc/ forum_show.inc util.inc user/ explain_state.php info.php David 13 Jan 2005 - add "hidden" fields to thread and post tables, in preparation for message board moderation features NOTE TO PROJECTS: apply this update if you're using current PHP.

By: Rob Ogilvie - Hidden threads should not be visible through a direct call html/inc/ forum.inc html/user/ forum_thread.php David 13 Jan 2005 - modified DB_BASE::enumerate() so that it returns: - zero if returning a row - ERR_DB_NOT_FOUND if reached end of result set - other values indicated DB errors (e.g. lost connection to server) Strange as it may seem, until now we didn't have a way of knowing that enumerate() had errored out. As a result, e.g., db_dump would happily generate a zero-entry user or host file if the DB happened to disconnect during the select. - changed db_dump.C to check error returns from enumerate(), and exit() on DB failure - changed xml_escape() to completely remove control characters except for 9, 10, 13 db/ db_base.C lib/ error_numbers.h parse.C sched/ db_dump.C David 14 Jan 2005 - Fix problems with backslashes in forum titles; also kludge display so old titles with extraneous backslashes are shown without them html/inc/ forum.inc David 14 Jan 2005 - fix to fix in msg board code html/inc/ forum_show.inc Rom 14 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: The screensaver was passing the raw blank time (number of minutes) instead of when in unix time format the screen should go blank (number of seconds). client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp Karl 2005-01-16 - Added support for specifying db_{user,passwd} when creating projects tools/ make_project py/Boinc/ setup_project.py Bruce 17 Jan 2005 - Additional work on locality scheduling. (a) make DB queries more efficient using name>'FILE__' and name<'FILE__~' rather than name like 'FILE__%' (b) Set 'no remaining work for this file' flag correctly by making a DB scan if needed. One can show that this is the 'cheapest' reliable place to put this scan. (c) Modify deterministic algorithm for finding unsent results so that instead of starting with FILE="" and scanning forward over all files, it starts at a random place in file space, scans cyclicly to the end, and then from "" to the start point. (d) Satisfy work request if possible. Don't terminate sending work until none left that is feasible, or request satisfed. (e) If a new file is needed, first pick file associated with unsent results which are more than 2 hours old. Note: need to make this a user-configurable option, and add some random +- slack. For the record, here is the current locality scheduler logic. I will update the docs once this is a bit better tested and stable. (1) If there is an (one) unsent result which is older than (1) config.locality_scheduling_send_timeout (7 days) and is (1) feasible for the host, sent it. (2) If we did send a result in the previous step, then send any (2) additional results that are feasible for the same input file. (3) If additional results are needed, step through input files on (3) the host. For each, if there are results that are feasible for (3) the host, send them. If there are no results that are feasible (3) for the host, delete the input file from the host. (4) If additional results are needed, and there is (one) unsent (4) result which is older than 2 hours and is feasible for the (4) host, send it. (5) If we did send a result in the previous step, then send any (5) additional results that are feasible for the same input file. (6) If additional results are needed, select an input file name at (6) random from the current input file working set advertised by (6) the WU generator. If there are results for this input file (6) that are feasible for this host, send them. (7) If additional results are needed, carry out an expensive, (7) deterministic search for ANY results that are feasible for the (7) host. This search starts from a random filename advertised by (7) the WU generator, but continues cyclicly to cover ALL results (7) for ALL files. If a feasible result is found, send it. Then (7) send any additional results that use the same input file. If (7) there are no feasible results for the host, we are finished: (7) exit. (8) If addtional results are needed, return to step 4 above. sched/ sched_locality.C David 17 Jan 2005 - don't start apps until after benchmark (may work around CPDN bug) client/ client_state.C Rom 17 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: Remove the ability for the CC to exit when a project fails to attach.

The rest is mostly copy-paste work as the same design can be used for threads as well. This update includes: - Deleting posts - Moving posts - Sending email notice to post author - Users cannot edit their posts more than 1 hour after creating them - Deleted posts are only shown to moderators - Inversion of $filter_on in getThreads and getPosts (!) Now the bit means "show deleted posts/threads" and defaults to off - New special user bitfield Due to the new special user bitfield you must redefine who is who in your project. Currently this is done manually (idea for the ops page, anyone?) This is how the bitfield is used: 1st bit = Moderator 2nd bit = Project Admin 3rd bit = Project dev 4th bit = Project tester 5th bit = Volunteer dev 6th bit = Volunteer tester 7th bit = Project Scientist So if I'm a project admin and want to be moderator as well, I would do the following SQL query: Update forum_preferences set special_user = '1100000' where userid=42 html/ user/ forum_edit.php +forum_moderate_post.php (new) +forum_moderate_post_action.php (new) inc/ forum.inc email.inc +forum_moderators.inc (new) ops/ update_db.php David 18 Jan 2005 - user web: general code cleanup, and increased use of stylesheets for formatting rather than hard-wired HTML - use tables for profiles - change way profiles are rated html/ inc/ forum.inc prefs.inc profile.inc util.inc user/ forum_edit.php forum_help_desk.php forum_sample_index.php forum_thread.php profile_rate.php (new) profile_search_action.php view_profile.php white.css sched/ db_dump.C David 18 Jan 2005 - fix "added clauses" feature of admin web DB interface html/inc/ db_ops.inc David 18 Jan 2005 - added --cron-tasks option to start (does periodic tasks but doesn't start daemons) From David Hammer. This should arguably be used instead of --cron because if daemons are crashing you'll find out about it sooner. sched/ start David 18 Jan 2005 - added <min_core_client_version> element to SCHED_CONFIG.

(1) apps being suspended would call boinc_finish(nonzero) and core client would treat this as app failure. Introduce a new function boinc_exit() and call that instead. (2) improvements to GUI build with wxWidgets (3) improved X event handling loop now ensures that X window is taken away when window killed. configure.ac clientgui/ Makefile.am api/ boinc_api.h boinc_api.C x_opengl.C lib/ filesys.C David 19 Jan 2005 - don't show rating buttons when user looks at their own profile html/inc/ profile.inc uotd.inc David 19 Jan 2005 - Change the logic in CLIENT_STATE::do_something to avoid unsuspending activities before starting them - change CLIENT_STATE::check_suspend_activities() from int to void Checked these changes into boinc_public also client/ client_state.C,h cs_prefs.C David 19 Jan 2005 - db_dump: deleting the old stats dir with /bin/rm -rf fails sometimes ("dir is not empty"). If this happens, try renaming it. sched/ db_dump.C Bruce 20 Jan 2005 - From Reinhard Prix. At Rom's request, this builds the Linux client and clientgui using static rather than dynamic linking to the gcc C++ lib. Note that modifying this to do the same whenever gcc is used (not just under Linux) might be desirable. configure.ac client/ Makefile.am clientgui/ Makefile.am David 20 Jan 2005 - Added cross-project IDs for hosts. This lets statistics sites show work per host, summed over projects. Implementation: Hosts generate their own "internal" CPIDs, using an MD5 of time/domain/IP/disk_free. This should be unique across that user's hosts. It's stored in the HOST_INFO structure and sent to server. The server hashes the internal CPID with the user's email address and stores the resulting "external" CPID in the host table. It is included by db_dump in <host> elements.

NOTE: basically this was causing BOINC to alternate between suspended mode and non-suspended mode twice a second because the check for user idle activity happened after we returned from the function which means that reason was returning 0, meaning we shouldn't be suspended. - Bug Fix: Setting activities_suspended should happen outside the check for tasks_restarted, since it is used later in the function, and activities_suspended may not be what we expect it to be. - Cleanup: In the idle detection routine save the needed values to a variable so we can see them as we are steping though the code, let the optimizer deal with it on release builds. - Bug Fix: Remove the Modify option in setup, our setup is an all or nothing deal. - Bug Fix: Configure setup for automatic upgrades, this requires the previous MSI databases from the builds we release to public. NOTE: I need to talk to David about this a little bit, but I think it is doable. - Bug Fix: Fix the screensaver load up problem where it was taking 60 seconds before the first text was displayed. NOTE: This reintroduces a bug where the screensaver slows to a crawl when boinc isn't running in the background. I think I've figured out a solution to it, but I didn't get the code written for this release. client/ client_state.C cs_prefs.C client/win hostinfo_win.cpp win_screensaver.cpp, .h win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Rom 20 Jan 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.60 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_60 David 20 Jan 2005 - Add external_ip_addr field to host table.

May be different from the IP address reported by the host (e.g. if the host is behind a NAT) NOTE: project must update their databases (html/ops/db_update.php, update_1_20a_2005()) to use this code. db/ boinc_db.C,h html/ops/ db_update.php sched/ handle_request.C David 21 Jan 2005 - Make it possible to abort/suspend/resume results even when they're not active (i.e. not ACTIVE_TASK exists) - move suspended_via_gui flag from ACTIVE_TASK to RESULT - add aborted_via_gui flag to RESULT - if start a task whose result is aborted_via_gui, abort immediately - suspended results aren't eligible to start - GUI RPCs that modify state set dirty flag client/ app.C,h client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_account.C cs_apps.C gui_rpc_server.C David 21 Jan 2005 - rename ACTIVE_TASK::state to task_state (to avoid confusion with RESULT::state) - remove ACTIVE_TASK::exit_status (just use RESULT::exit_status) - when start result aborted via GUI, set its exit status accordingly - CLIENT_STATE::app_finished(): don't deal with output files if task was aborted via GUI client/ app.C,h app_control.C app_start.C cs_apps.C David 21 Jan 2005 - finalize result correctly when aborted via GUI - add aborted_via_gui flag to GUI RPC's version of RESULT (the BOINC manager needs to look at this flag) client/ app_control.C app_start.C lib/ gui_rpc_client.C,h Rom 22 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: Upgrades of BOINC should now work correctly, any new version of BOINC should automatically uninstall the previous version before installing the new version. NOTE: The ProductCode has to be changed between each version or the installer will believe it is a minor version change and not prompt the UI, it'll just overwrite the files. win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Janus 23 Jan 2005 - When listing a user's posts, only display deleted posts to the author or moderators. When displaying them, display additional info as to why the post was deleted. (by Jens Seidler) html/user forum_user_posts.php html/inc forum.inc Bruce 24 Jan 2005 - Fixes from Christian Beer for ops pages to approve profiles and to errors in the previous 20/next 20 links when 'additional clauses' is non-empty. Restore missing project_footer() function. - From Bernd Machenschalk, build self-extracting installer under Solaris, now works with normal Sun/Solaris make (don't need gnu make). html/ inc/ db_ops.inc profile.inc project.sample/ project.inc David 24 Jan 2005 - Save proxy user names and passwords to disk in XML-escaped form (so passwords of the form X<Y will get parsed correctly) lib/ proxy_info.C Rom 24 Jan 2005 - When the server requests a delay, make sure we do not overwrite the min_rpc_time, which has already been set to the proper delay time. client/ cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C lib/ error_numbers.h David 24 Jan 2005 - Amend the above checkin so that a scheduler reply is handled completely even if there's a delay request client/ cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C lib/ error_numbers.h Rom 24 Jan 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.62 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_62 NOTE: 4.61 was eaten up in setup testing. Rom 24 Jan 2005 - Modify configure.ac so that I can try and build the client and clientgui with the static stdc++ library. / configure.ac David 25 Jan 2005 Policy change: apps of non-CPU-intensive projects are never suspended - Change ACTIVE_TASK_SET::suspend_all() and unsuspend_all() to skip non-CPU-intensive projects. - Ignore GUI RPC requests to suspend non-CPU-intensive projects or results - Add the non_cpu_intensive flag to GUI RPC's PROJECT structure. GUIs should not show suspend/resume buttons for non-CPU-intensive projects or results client/ app_control.C gui_rpc_server.C lib/ gui_rpc_client.C,h html/project.sample/ project.inc Rom 25 Jan 2005 - Allow BOINC Manager to search for it's localization catalog files in a sub directory called 'locale' like it does in Windows. - The options dialog should grow in size with the different languages, add a notebook sizer to the mix. clientgui/ BOINCGUI.pjd BOINCGUIApp.cpp DlgOptions.cpp David 26 Jan 2005 - commented out code in scheduler that notifies user if a newer core client exists in this project's DB. Projects don't generally keep track of CC versions any more sched/ handle_request.C David 26 Jan 2005 - Reinhard's patch to configure.ac configure.ac Rom 26 Jan 2005 - The worker thread priority for a science application should be lowered for both the graphics capable application and non-graphics capable. - The graphics thread priority should now be set to a normal thread priority level instead of high. NOTE: The above changes were only implemented for Windows right now, the pthread version of this stuff needs to be done. api/ boinc_api.C, .h graphics_impl.C David 27 Jan 2005 - feeder: improved error message when table overflows shared-mem structure Also, exit(1) in this case sched/ sched_shmem.C David 27 Jan 2005 - build fixes from Reinhard configure.ac Rom 27 Jan 2005 - Include some of the battery status flags in the decision when trying to determine if a notebook is on battery power. client/win hostinfo_win.cpp David 27 Jan 2005 - Enhancements to update_versions - allow a multi-file app version to include multiple executable files All files with the u+x bit set are treated as executable - set min_core_version and max_core_version to zero. Shouldn't be setting these to anything nonzero here. Projects are no longer expected to maintain core versions. py/Boinc/ tools.py tools/ update_versions David 27 Jan 2005 - scheduler reply includes scheduler's version info sched/ server_types.C David 27 Jan 2005 - db_dump: instead of deleting old stats, move them to a directory whose name includes the current date sched/ db_dump.C David 27 Jan 2005 - added utility programs to tools/ (from Christian S�ttrup) tools/ kill_wu.C poll_wu.C David 27 Jan 2005 - API: move code to get worker thread handle, and set its priority, to set_worker_timer(). This function is guaranteed to be always called by the worker thread, and only by the worker thread. Got rid of boinc_adjust_worker_thread_priority(). - removed LHC@home-specific function from boinc_api_fortran.C api/ boinc_api.C boinc_api_fortran.C graphics_impl.C David 27 Jan 2005 - core client: initialize PROJECT structure more thoroughly client/ client_types.C David 28 Jan 2005 - typo in server_types.C sched/ server_types.C David 28 Jan 2005 - core client: in MESSAGE_DESC (used to save messages, so they can be sent to core client) store project name, instead of pointer to project. By the time we send msg to GUI, the project object might be deleted! - improve time_stats client/ client_msgs.C,h client_state.C gui_rpc_server.C time_stats.C,h David 28 Jan 2005 - when including FILE_INFOs for sticky files in scheduler request, include the file size and status (0=not present, 1=present, else error code) - change TIME_STATS::last_update from int to double client/ cs_scheduler.C time_stats.C,h David 28 Jan 2005 - core client: add notion of CONNECTED_STATE; can be CONNECTED, NOT_CONNECTED, or UNKNOWN. Implemented get_connected_state() on Windows - if connected state is UNKNOWN, TIME_STATS::connected_frac is set to -1 - rewrote TIME_STATS::update(). Seems to work in testing. client/ client_state.C hostinfo_network.h hostinfo_unix.C time_stats.C,h win win_net.cpp,h Rom 28 Jan 2005 - Check to see if we are already connected to the core client before attempting to get the activity state and network state. - Change the dynamic object array for the view caches to a vector for a perf increase, and to cleanup a possible crashing error. - Add aditional asserts in the base view to check for a possible cache inconsistency. - Remove an out of date file from the build list. clientgui/ BOINCBaseView.cpp, .h MainDocument.cpp ViewMessages.cpp, .h ViewProjects.cpp, .h ViewResources.cpp, .h ViewTransfers.cpp, .h ViewWork.cpp, .h win_build/ BOINCGUI.vcproj winbuild/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Rom 29 Jan 2005 - Cleanup memory leaks due to the conversion to vectors. clientgui/ ViewMessages.cpp ViewResources.cpp ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp Rom 29 Jan 2005 - We had an interesting crash condition where the GUI would crash while requesting for a run mode update, aparently the core client has some junk appended to the end of the RPC, so this allows the cliet-side code to deal with this condition. lib/ gui_rpc_client.C David 29 Jan 2005 - make_work: fixed a basic design problem. Its main loop creates workunits until the number of sendable results reaches the "cushion" level. This worked OK in the old days when creating a workunit created its results; but these days the transitioner does that. So make_work would end up creating way more workunits than it's supposed to. The fix: estimate how many WUs to create (based on wu.target_nresults). Make that many, then sleep for 10 seconds (give the transitioner a chance to create the results). - Another problem: the "master WU" used by make_work could get deleted by file_deleter and db_purge. Kludgy but effective solution: change file_deleter and db_purge to ignore WUs whose name includes "nodelete". Call your master WU "wu_nodelete". - change dir_hier_path so that it just prints the pathname of the file, so you can use it in scripts sched/ db_purge.C file_deleter.C make_work.C tools/ dir_hier_path.C David 30 Jan 2005 - fixed bug in xml_unescape(). Didn't parse special chars correctly lib/ parse.C David 30 Jan 2005 - user web: slight cleanup - reduced verbosity in profile page - moved "you may use HTML tags" to function html/ inc/ profile.inc util.inc user/ edit_forum_preferences_form.php edit_user_info_form.php forum_post.php Bruce 31 Jan 2005 - scheduler changes: if host is not getting any work because available disk space is < 0, delete files which have <sticky> and <report_on_rpc> set. Note that (1) this deletion simply removes the <sticky> tag, so file won't be deleted until after all WU that depend upon it are completed and (2) the mechanism to determine which file to delete could be improved. TODO: improve messages to hosts which have no file space and ALSO have no files to delete. - scheduler changes: locality scheduling. Clean up code which makes a deterministic search of results to delete. Data files names can not contain the "~" character! - modified the send_new_file_work() function to look for unsent work starting with a random time 6 to 12 hours ago. - scheduler changes: added a simple debugging mechanism for scheduler requests/replies. If you touch a file named 'debug_sched' in the project root, then files called sched_reply_HOSTID_RPCNO and sched_request_HOSTID_RPCNO will be created under cgi-bin/ which contain the scheduler replies. You can turn on this mechanism for some time to study the scheduler replies. - David, the write() function that I added to SCHEDULER_REQUEST can probably be done better. It would be nice if all the classes that this includes an instance of had their own write() functions: it would make debugging very easy. sched/ handle_request.C sched_locality.C server_types.h server_types.C Eric K. 31 Jan 05 Fixed typo in lib/parse.C lib/parse.C Janus 31 Jan 05 - Added functions to read and parse .po translations for the webinterface. - Changed apps.php to use these new functions as an example. - Added a tiny example language interface file - Added language files (that are valid with regards to the interface) for English and Danish as an example The script (Apache or whatever webserver is used) must have write- access to the /languages/compiled directory as well as /languages/. It will create compiled versions of the interface file and language files the first time a page is accessed after a new language file or interface file has been installed. To output something that can be translated, a page can use: echo tr(MY_TOKEN); where MY_TOKEN is the token-name used to identify the text that will be output. To actually be allowed to write and use MY_TOKEN, the token must be added to the language interface. The language interface file is simply a file containing all the valid tokens listed one per line. Adding MY_TOKEN to the bottom of the file will make "MY_TOKEN" a valid token. Whenever you add a new token to the interface you _should_ at least add the text to the english language file located in /languages/translations/en.po This file is used as default language and will be used as fallback in case a translator for another language does not provide a translation for your particular token (which especially will be the case when you add a new token). You should be able to add comments using a # as the first char in a line - at least in the .po-files. Future plans: 1) An expansion for project specific translations which can be independently maintained by the project. 2) Language selection in user prefs (to override browser defaults) 3) Even better automatic language detection html/ inc/ translation.inc (new) languages/ (new) language_interface (new) translations/ (new) da.po (new) en.po (new) user/ apps.php David 31 Jan 2005 - Make it possible for a scheduler RPC reply to include several "messages", each with its own message body and priority. This involved changes to both scheduler and core client. If the current core client gets several messages, it will display only the last one. client/ cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C,h sched/ handle_request.C sched_send.C server_types.C,h David 31 Jan 2005 - Made WORK_REQ into a member of SCHEDULER_REPLY. This makes it available in handle_request() in case you want to send user messages based on it. Also reduces the number of structs that have to be passed around everywhere. - Fixed formatting in sched_locality.C. Bruce: please use 4-space indentation, no tab chars sched/ sched_locality.C,h sched_send.C,h server_types.C,y David 31 Jan 2005 - Changed the way the core client handles <delete_file_info> elements in scheduler RPC replies. Old: clear the FILE_INFO's sticky bit New: set a FILE_INFO::marked_for_delete flag. An unreferenced file will be deleted if this flag is set, regardless of whether the sticky flag is set. If the marked_for_delete flag is set, it won't be reported in scheduler RPCs, even if the report_on_rpc flag is set. This avoids situations where a server asks the client to delete a file, but later sends work to that file because it's reported in an RPC file list client/ client_state.C client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C David 31 Jan 2005 - Core client: moved initialization stuff to new boinc_init(); change main() so that it calls boinc_init(), then does platform-specific stuff, then calls boinc_main_loop() This ensures, e.g. that check_unique_instance() is called before most other stuff client/ main.C,h win/ win_service.cpp Rom 31 Jan 2005 - Implement log files for the BOINC Manager - Implement call stacks, and memory leak detection for the BOINC Manager on Windows - Implement log rotation for both the core client and manager - Implement stderr and stdout redirects with the core client - Make the manager start the core client with IO redirection enabled - Cleanup some more memory leaks in the BOINC Manager - Enabled the STL use of the debug heap on Windows client/ client_state.C, .h cs_cmdline.C cs_files.C file_names.h main.C client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp clientgui/ BOINCGUI.cpp, .h LogBOINC.cpp, .h (Added) Makefile.am ViewProjects.cpp ViewMessages.cpp ViewResources.cpp ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp stdwx.h lib/ diagnostics.C, .h win_build/ BOINCGUI.vcproj Rom 31 Jan 2005 - Move the SetCurrentDirectory call to boinc_init() from service_main() which was causing the log files to be put into the system32 directory. Fixes start as service setup case. - Flush stderr as well as stdout in boinc_init() - Remove needless calls to PostMessage from check_unique_instance() - Adjust BOINC Manager so that it can properly detect if it can open a connection to the core client so that it can determine if it needs to start it. Fixes single user setup case. Should I make a complete API call in case another application has port 1043 open? - Cleanup exception.C out of the core client project. client/ file_names.C main.C clientgui/win/ win_service.cpp clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp MainDocument.cpp, .h win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj David 1 Feb 2005 - scheduling server: if host is 4.62 or earlier, concatenate messages sched/ server_types.C David 1 Feb 2005 - MFILE's buffer was not being maintained as NULL-terminated. This caused problems with GUI RPC, where the buffer was transferred to code that expected it to be NULL-terminated lib/ mfile.C,h Rom 1 Feb 2005 - Implement the UI for aborted results that have not been executed before. - Initialize aborted_via_gui since wxWidgets initializes bools to true. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp, .h ViewWork.cpp lib/ gui_rpc_client.C Rom 1 Feb 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.63 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_63 Bruce 2 Feb 2005 - Fixed trivial bug in scheduler which caused messages sent to clients < 4.62 to be interchanged with their priority. So if the message was supposed to be 'No work available' with priority 'low', the actual message sent was 'low'. sched/ server_types.C Bruce 2 Feb 2005 - Improvements to the file deletion mechanism. Now try removing files if no work was sent to hosts, and available space<0 OR if available space>0 but work was unfeasible because the disk bound requirements of the work exceeded the available space. - Added a new config.xml boolean element called 'choose_download_url_by_timezone' This requires that projects provide a 2-column file in the project root named 'download_servers'. An example is: 3600 http://einstein.aei.mpg.de -21600 http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu The first column is offset from UTC in seconds, and the second column is the URL of the download server. When enabled, the scheduler will replace the download path for data and executables by a list of download URLs, ordered by proximity to the host's timezone. The download path must start with the BOINC default download/ and the different download servers must have identical file paths under download/, in other words they must be mirrored. - Really exciting news, David: I have finally gotten emacs to obey your indentations and formatting conventions, apart from doing this: some_function(foo, bar ); instead of this: some_function(foo, bar ); Emacs experts, advice appreciated! doc/ configuration.php server_debug.php sched/ sched_config.h sched_config.C sched_send.C handle_request.C Rom 2 Feb 2005 - Moved localization resources to the root of the project per a discussion with Janus, basically we are going to try to have all the localization material for the web/Forum and clients all in one place. clientgui/locale/ <all directories and files deleted> locale/ <all localization files for the client are now here> Bruce 2 Feb 2005 - Made the caching of md5 info for source files a configuration option in config.xml. Use the boolean tag <cache_md5_info> to enable it. This prevents the work generation library from having to go back and continuously regenerate the md5 sums of your input data files. Note that reading these from disk can be expensive if you have many such files that are large and that you re-use. See check-in notes from 30/31 Dec 2004 for some details. doc/ configuration.php sched/ sched_config.C sched_config.h tools/ backend_lib.C Rom 2 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Adjust the manager so that it'll set it's current directory to that of its installed location. This will fix the bug of the log files ending up where the installer is executed from. - Bug Fix: Remove the message cache from the message view in the manager. This should clear up a crashing problem that seems to strike the Win9x platform. clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp ViewMessages.cpp, .h David 2 Feb 2005 - Scheduler: make things more uniform between locality and non-locality (work array) scheduling. Both cases use the following functions: 1) call wu_is_feasible() to see if the host has enough disk, memory, and CPU speed to handle a result. (added this to locality scheduling) 2) call add_result_to_reply() when you decide to send a result. This updates database and SCHED_REPLY. - If using locality scheduling, add_result_to_reply() doesn't decrement wreq.disk_available, since several results may involve the same file. BRUCE: we need to decrement disk_available in the locality scheduling code. - add disk space check to wu_is_feasible() (and removed it from scan_work_array()) - simplified the args of wu_is_feasible() - work_needed(): if wreq.disk_available is <= zero, set the wreq.insufficient_disk flag and return false. NOTE: this and wu_is_feasible() are now the only places where we disk space is checked lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ sched_locality.C sched_send.C,h David 2 Feb 2005 - core client: add platform name and client version to HTTP request headers client/ http.C Rom 2 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: The screensaver really should call UpdateErrorBox frequently, otherwise the error box ends up being drawn outside the visible region of the window, which gives the impression that the screen has gone blank. - Bug Fix: Give the core client enough time to actually cycle through all the capable graphics applications before acting on the error codes. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h Rom 2 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Ops, when deleting a bunch of code, make sure all of it really isn't needed. When the manager looses the core client reset the message sequence back to zero so when we detect the core client again we can get all the messages. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp Rom 2 Feb 2005 - Tag for 4.64 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_64 Rom 2 Feb 2005 - Use the same technique to statically link nsl and socket for the client as the clientgui. - move the apps directory from the API_SUBDIRS variable to the SERVER_SUBDIRS variable since we really don't need to build the sample applications when all we really want is just the boinc client tools. / configure.ac Makefile.am Rom 3 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: On machines older than Windows 2000 don't attempt to use memory mapped files as an IPC mechinism for trapping when the last keyboard or mouse input has happened. It's just easier to use the DLL shared memory segment, and keeps us from crashing due to the fact that the init function isn't called before the hook functions in external processes. client/win/ win_idle_tracker.cpp Bruce 3 Feb 2005 - core client: add platform name and client version to HTTP request headers when going via a proxy server. See David's change just above from 2 Feb. client/ http.C David 3 Feb 2005 - when get a FILE_INFO in a scheduler RPC reply, replace the current list of URLs with the list in the scheduler reply client/ client_types.C David 3 Feb 2005 - include platform name and client version in all GET and HEAD HTTP request headers. (but not POST - not needed since included in request body) Note: would be nice to include host ID, but that info isn't available at the HTTP level client/ http.C Rom 3 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Fix a localization problem where the application version number was being localized when it shouldn't be. - Bug Fix: The dwBlankTime variable is initialized at screensaver startup instead of when BOINC is notified to start the screensaver. This should fix the case where the blank time is longer than the project cycle time. - Bug Fix: Fix the version number display for a science application in the work tab. It shouldn't use the localization rules. - Bug Fix: In the transfers tab, replace upload with transfer. - Bug Fix: In the work tab, replace "Quick Tips" with just "Tips" to be consistent with the rest of the tabs. - Bug Fix: Additional check to see if any new messages have been added before changing the visible messages in the message tab. - Bug Fix: Change the default blank time to 5 minutes. - Bug Fix: Remove the ability for us to affect the secure password option on NT based machines. - Bug Fix: Check to see if we are running setup on an NT 4.0 box acting as a Domain Controller, if we are warn the admin that they'll have to manually set the 'LogonAsService' right themselves with the User Manager for Domains, and then set the setup flag to false. - Bug Fix: Reorder the Service setup dialog so that there are entries after the password confirmation edit box which gives us the extra step needed to enable the next button. - Bug Fix: Enable the 'Property as Integer' bit of the various checkboxes we use in setup so that when somebody unchecks the damn checkbox it finally does what I expected it to do in the first place. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h clientgui/ ViewWork.cpp ViewTransfers.cpp ViewMessages.cpp win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Rom 3 Feb 2005 - Tag for 4.65 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_65 Rom 3 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Add a comment to the service install option that states that show graphics does not work in the service install scenario. win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Rom 3 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Add the 'Users' group to the list of users permissioned to read and execute from within the BOINC folder after a service install. win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Janus 4 Feb 2005 - Added strong to the list of allowed html tags in the forum. html/inc/ sanitize_html.php Rom 4 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Surround the calls to atol and atof in parse_int and parse_double with setlocale calls so that we can parse numerical types from the core client even while the manager is configured for a different locale. lib/ boinc_win.h parse.C Rom 4 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Don't record the blank time as Epoch time in the registry. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp Eric K 4 Feb 2005 - Added diagnostics.[Ch] to the gui build. (Builds were failing because it was missing) - Added function xwin_glut_is_initialized() so applications can tell if glut is initialized. clientgui/Makefile.am api/ x_opengl.[Ch] Rom 4 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Adjust the display of the app version in the work tab with a call to setlocale instead if parsing a string. It looks better, and works under a larger set of conditions. - Bug Fix: Change the display of the progress indictator in the work tab to use printf instead of just setting the string. This allows the progress to be displayed in a localized fashion. - Bug Fix: Change the transfer rate in the transfer tab to use printf instead instead of just setting the string. This allows the progress to be displayed in a localized fashion. - Bug Fix: Add keyboard accelerators for all the setup configuration screens. clientgui/ ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Rom 5 Feb 2005 - Bug fix: Rework the logic for NT 4.0 BDC detection and dealing with the condition. win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism Rom 5 Feb 2005 - Tag for 4.66 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_66 Rom 5 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Remove the Users group from the service install type ACL list. - Bug Fix: Set ALLUSERS to null when either the Single or Service install type is selected - Bug Fix: Adjust the validate setup type script to account for the new rules - Bug Fix: When switching from an error state to the blank screensaver state, invalidate the window and redraw the background. Basically that was causing us to display out of sync project data. - Bug Fix: Another screensaver transitional state fix client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism win_build/installerv2/redist/windows BOINC.vbs Rom 6 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Reduce the flicker of the error box by only painting on every third WM_PAINT message. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h David 6 Feb 2005 - Initial client support for "account managers". Includes: - new core client class (ACCT_MGR) for doing RPCs to account managers - GUI RPC for initiating an account manager RPC TODO: add support in BOINC Manager client/ acct_mgr.C,h (new) file_names.h gui_rpc_server.C win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj David 6 Feb 2005 - The critically important "work_req_seconds" field of a scheduler request was not documented anywhere. The units of this request are "normalized CPU seconds": the request specifies the number of wall-clock seconds the work should take to finish using 1 CPU on the host, taking into account resource share, on_frac, and active_frac. - client side: document; take on_frac into account - server side: document; use wall-clock instead of cpu estimate for "seconds filled"; take on_frac into account in wallclock estimate. TODO: it would be simpler if the request just specified a number of FLOPs .

OLD: when the client sends a scheduler RPC to project P, it sends the largest CPID among projects with same email hash as P. This is saved in P's database and sent in future RPC replies. Problem (pointed out by John McLeod): A user's CPID can change whenever he joins a new project. Statistics web sites don't have permanent IDs for a user. NEW: when the client sends a scheduler RPC to project P, it sends the CPID of the project for which user_create_time is least (i.e. the project with the oldest account). Project URL is used as a tie-breaker. - Fixed a bug where user_create_time wasn't being parsed correctly from server reply. client/ client_types.C cs_scheduler.C David 8 Feb 2005 Stuff related to web-site translations: - removed blank lines from language_interface; these caused bad entries in language_interface.inc - make_project: create additional directories (html/languages, /compiled, /translations) and make them writeable to all - make_project and upgrade: copy language files too html/languages/ language_interface py/Boinc/ setup_project.py tools/ make_project Rom 8 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Add the ability for setup to shutdown any running instances of the BOINC Manager during install and uninstall. - Bug Fix: Change "Launch the program" to "Launch the BOINC Manager" - Bug Fix: Fix a number of event bubble up issues with the base wxTaskBarEx class, the sample format provided with the wxWidget framework leads down the wrong path if you try to extend the class. - Bug Fix: Add another custom action dll to do the actual shutdown of the BOINC Manager clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp BOINCTaskBar.cpp, .h clientgui/msw/ taskbarex.cpp, .h win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism win_build/installerv2/Windows/src/ShutdownBOINCManager ShutdownBOINCManager.cpp ( added ) ShutdownBOINCManager.def ( added ) ShutdownBOINCManager.sln ( added ) ShutdownBOINCManager.vcproj ( added ) stdafx.cpp, .h ( added ) win_build/installerv2/Windows/x86/ shutdown.dll Bruce 8 Feb 2005 Added new tag pair to config.xml: <min_core_client_version_announced> N </min_core_client_version_announced> <min_core_client_upgrade_deadline> M </min_core_client_upgrade_deadline> This is used to warn users in advance if a new minimum core client is going to be required.

On these systems largefile support breaks C++ compiles by defining away many of the C standard library routines that should reside in namespace std::. In order to get around problem first we have to check the largefile support macros. Later we will use the macro SAH_LARGEFILE_BREAKS_CXX to check for the breakage. If if breakage is found LARGEFILE_BREAKS_CXX is defined in config.h. This define is checked in std_fixes.h and the appropriate functions are defined in order to solve the problem. (These functions were already in place) Because these defines affect the behavior of standard library headers, std_fixes.h is being included from config.h -Added AM_CPPFLAGS, AM_CFLAGS, and AM_CXXFLAGS (for flags common to all compiles) so they will be defined in all Makefile.am files. -Put #ifdef _cplusplus around the C++ specific items in std_fixes.h so it may be included from C source files. configure.ac Makefile.incl m4/ sah_largefile_breaks_cxx.m4 api/ Makefile.am lib/ std_fixes.h David 9 Feb 2005 - locality scheduling: move check for transient infeasibility to SCHEDULER_REPLY::work_needed() for uniformity - scheduler: if request has different CPID, accept it whether or not it's greater than current one - file deleter: show full path in error messages sched/ handle_request.C sched_locality.C sched_send.C server_types.h Rom 9 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Fix a stupid mistake where I wasn't even checking to see if a person selected to allow the screen to be blanked before setting the blank timer to work. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h Rom 9 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: If a result is flagged as 'Aborted', do not show the 'Suspend'/'Resume' options in the task list. - Bug Fix: If a result is suspended without having already been executed, display it as suspended instead of 'Ready to Run' clientgui/ ViewWork.cpp David 9 Feb 2005 - scheduler changes to get the FCGI version to compile. Problem: the FCGI library inexplicably doesn't provide a version of fscanf(). Some of Bruce's recent additions (timezone-dependent URL, MD5 caching) use fscanf(). I commented them out with the _USING_FCGI_ symbol. This shouldn't affect anyone since E@h doesn't use FCGI. sched/ sched_send.C tools/ backend_lib.C David 9 Feb 2005 - report GUI RPC connection rejected errors at most once every ten minutes client/ gui_rpc_server.C Bruce 10 Feb 2005 More sched locality and other scheduler changes. - Address David's comment of Feb 2. Now properly reduce the disk size resource requirements of a WU being sent if the file is already on the host, or already included in a previous WU being sent. DAVID: please check that reply_copy.wus.pop_back() is right. - For this, define a function host_has_file(). This can also be used in the future for more intelligent file deletion schemes. - Make warnings to upgrade old clients have low priority until 3 days before deadline. Then high priority. - Fix sign error in messages sent to users about insufficient disk space. - Move extract_filename() from sched_locality.C to sched_util.C - Pretty up the ordered list of URLs printed for a given host. - I've even tested these changes before committing them! sched/ handle_request.C sched_locality.C sched_send.C sched_util.[hC] Bruce 10 Feb 2005 Added code to the scheduler so that it will dump core on SEGV. This is disabled by default. Having this is really useful if the scheduler is crashing some of the time. You can load the core dump file into a debugger to see where things are breaking. To use this, edit sched/main.C by hand and set #define DUMP_CORE_ON_SEGV 1 sched/ main.C Eric K 10 Feb 2005 Fixes to get server components compiling under FCGI. - Added check for _USING_FCGI_ in std_fixes.h in order to prevent redefinition of stdlib functions with LARGEFILE_BREAKS_CXX is defined. - Because FCGI doesn't have fscanf() and fgetc() that work on FCGI_FILE*, the FILE pointers for these functions need to be wrapped in a call to FCGI_ToFILE(). In the case where FCGI isn't being used we define FCGI_ToFILE(x) to (x). lib/ std_fixes.h sched/ sched_send.C tools/ backend_lib.C David 10 Feb 2005 code shuffling in scheduler: - moved locality-specific code from sched_send.C to sched_locality.C - moved timezone-related code to sched_timezone.C sched/ Makefile.am sched_locality.C,h sched_send.C sched_timezone.C,h (new) David 10 Feb 2005 - expanded gui_test to a full-featured command-line interface to the core client, and renamed it to boinc_cmd.

When the window was hidden from view, it would skip updating any of the controls. clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp BOINCTaskBar.cpp MainFrame.cpp Eric K 10 Feb 2005 - There was a problem using dynamic allocations (with new) in many of the graphics classes. In many places the code was written assuming default values of 0, especially for pointers and booleans. While that's true in the case of a static instance with the default constructors, it not generally true with dynamic allocation unless the default constructor is replaced. Therefore I've added constructors in the following classes/structs: MOVING_TEXT_PANEL, COLOR, PROGRESS, PROGRESS_2D, TEXTURE_DESC, REDUCED_ARRAY. - This will be a problem is any are used from C code unless the constructors declarations are enclosed in "#ifdef __cplusplus" blocks. - There was also a problem that showed up under Windows when dynamic allocations were used. app_graphics_resize() gets called before app_graphics_init(). This usually results in a crash since classes haven't yet been constructed. To work around this I've added a case for WM_CREATE in the WndProc() which calls app_graphics_init. Under windows this will get passed before WM_SIZE does. api/ gutil.C gutil.h reduce_main.C windows_opengl.C Rom 10 Feb 2005 - Bug Fix: Reorder the logic for NT 4.0 domain controllers one more time. Damn variant variable types. win_build/installerv2/redist/windows/ BOINC.vbs Bruce 10 Feb 2005 - Sched locality change: if the host does not have enough memory to satisfy a work request, do not search for or send further work. This is the same way that disk space limits are handled. This is necessary since otherwise a host with small memory will endlessly trigger the WU generator, churning out infeasible WUs. - Added boolean arg to host_has_file() following David A's advice. This eliminates the 'expensive' copy of a large data structure. The bool arg makes host_has_file() skip the final WU in the vector in hunting for a file. - Better log message for setting coredump size.

(e.g. html/languages stuff) py/Boinc/ setup_project.py Bruce 15 Feb 2005 - Scheduler changes (global): - Ignore CPU limitations and resource share entirely, IF a host: (1) has no work for this project (2) has no results in this sched reply This ensures that any host that wants to do work will at least get *something*. It liberalizes slightly David A's approach from 14 Feb 2005. Eliminate use_time_stats from wreq structure. - Scheduler changes (locality scheduling only): - Improve return value info for some functions. - Modify send_old_work() to accept a t_min < t < t_max time range - New sched locality algorithm to send work to hosts with no files. Send oldest result in the time range A < t < B where B = locality_scheduling_timeout/2 A = B - rand*locality_scheduling_timeout/2 Here rand is a uniformly distributed random number in [0,1]. - When an unsent result is older than locality_scheduling_timeout, no longer send it to the FIRST host that requests work. Instead send it to the first host which has a connection speed > 100kb/s. - Fix file deletion. Previously we were deleting files from hosts when they got no work for that file. But this might have been because the work was infeasible (cpu time). Now delete files from host ONLY if there is no work remaining for that file. sched/ sched_locality.C sched_send.C server_types.h David 15 Feb 2005 - User web: security-related PHP cleanup Replace $_GET["id"] with getint("id) here and there.

If a host contacts the scheduler, and fails to get work because there are N secs of pending work, then send a delay request of min(3600, N/5) secs. Otherwise the same host was coming back every hour, without being able to get additional work. - Implemented by adding a method set_delay() to SCHEDULER_REQUEST. This sets the delay to the maximum of the previous requested delay or the current requested delay. The delay is NEVER set longer than two days. sched/ server_types.h server_types.C handle_request.C sched_send.C David 15 Feb 2005 - user web html/user/ account_setup_first_done.php (new) David 16 Feb 2005 - user web fixes html/user/ account_setup_first_done.php team_display.php David 16 Feb 2005 - Giant checkin to remove warnings when compiled with all known warnings enabled.

You use the tr(TOKEN)-function to get your token translated. It is possible to override the BOINC-provided translation by redefining the TOKEN in the project specific translation files. - Changed the translator to use the project default language as interface instead of having to explicitly write everything in a seperate file.

It will automatically use >=GD2 if this is available on the webserver. This will make avatars (and whatever uses the script) look much better. html/inc/ image.inc Bruce 20 Feb 2005 Fixed a bug in locality scheduling. When old work was being sent, the daily_result_quota constraint was not being enforced. Normally this constraint is enforced in the work_needed() function. However note that the critical send_work() function NEVER checks work_needed() [DAVID, perhaps it should?] before calling send_work_locality() or scan_work_array(). Then, when send_work_locality() was called, it would in turn call send_old_work() immediately, WITHOUT checking to see if work_needed() was TRUE. This allowed the daily_result_quota constraint to be broken. Possible fixes included: test work_needed() before calling send_old_work() test work_needed() WITHIN send_old_work() test work_needed() within possibly_send_result() test work_needed() within wu_is_infeasible() Conclusion: work is ONLY sent by the function possibly_send_result() which is called in two places in sched_locality.C: once in send_results_for_file() and once in send_old_work(). The first of these DOES check the value of work_needed(). The second does NOT. So I added a check of work_needed() within send_old_work(). A also added added another check of work_needed() at the top of send_results_for_file() BEFORE any DB access is done. It might be better to put this test of work_needed() lower down (within possibly_send_result()) or higher up (where send_old_work()) is called. I am not sure.

It seems on my last round of updates to make the checkbox controls act as integers the UI didn't update properly and left me with the impression that all the controls had been properly flagged as integer values.

Added "max_results_day" field to host table. Initialized to config.daily_result_quota. When host returns an error result, or a result times out, decrement max_results_day (but not below 1). When the host return a success result, double max_results_day (but not above config.daily_result_quota) Idea is from Bruce Allen NOTE TO PROJECTS: you must update your database (see html/ops/db_update.php) prior to using this on your server. db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html/ops/ db_update.php sched/ handle_request.C sched_send.C server_types.h transitioner.C David 25 Feb 2005 - core client: possible fix for heap corruption problem - check for strlen(file_signature), not file_signature client/ cs_files.C David 25 Feb 2005 - allow only one account per email address, including munged email addresses (from Bruce Allen) html/user/ create_account_action.php Rom 27 Feb 2005 - Add another flag to the diagnostics library that will allow a check of the heap with every allocation/deallocation. - Enable a check of the heap for every allocation in the core client. client/ main.C lib/ diagnostics.C, .h David 27 Feb 2005 If you attached to a project and give a URL like "a.b.c//", two bad things happen: 1) canonicalize_master_url() strips off everything before the //, leaving an empty URL 2) it will write an account file account_.xml and make an entry in the client state file 3) next time the core client starts up, it errors out trying to create the project directory. Fixes: - canonicalize_master_url(): check before "://", not "//" - is_account_file(): tighten up. Old: anything starting with account_ is considered an account file. New: must match account_A.B.xml where A and B are nonempty - invalid_url(): Old: must match http://X, X nonempty New: must match http://X.Y/, X and Y nonempty rename to valid_master_url() and invert sense client/ cs_account.C file_names.C lib/ util.C,h David 27 Feb 2005 - when scanning account files, make sure a project has a unique master URL before adding to list of projects client/ cs_account.C Bruce 28 Feb 2005 - messages containing newlines were being lost when sent to 4.19 core clients.

This is a workaround for what seems to be a current bug in the API or core client, causing 0 or very low CPU time to get reported erroneously. sched/ db_dump.C validate_util.C Rom 7 Mar 2005 - Bug Fix: Change the state refresh functionality from an OnIdle event to a specific timer event since on some platforms the on timer event is called really often. clientgui/ Events.h MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h David 7 Mar 2005 - Core client: if a project is anonymous-platform, don't require that main programs be marked as executable client/ app_start.C David 7 Mar 2005 - core client: win compile fixes client/ main.C,h win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp lib/ network.cpp Rom 7 Mar 2005 - Bug Fix: Remove the check to see if we have any projects already defined or not, before promting the user for project information. This keeps the client from getting stuck when being launched as a daemon on the *nix machines. client/ client_state.C, .h cs_cmdline.C main.C, .h David 8 Mar 2005 - fixed bug where, if a trickle-up file arrives from app while a scheduler RPC is in progress, it gets deleted when the RPC concludes (and therefore is never sent). Solution: when put a trickle-up message in RPC request, append ".sent" to its filename if not there already. When get trickle-up ack, delete files of form trickle_up*.sent client/ cs_trickle.C lib/ util.C,h David 8 Mar 2005 - user web: got rid of the "project_callbacks.inc" file. "project.inc" is already being used for this purposes. The project-specific functions must be defined there, perhaps empty. Also removed _callback from function names - they're not callbacks in the conventional sense. Also, these functions are expected to print, not return a string (so they can call row2() and stuff like that) - if a WU is pending validation, show that - change CHARSET of english translation to UTF-8 html/ inc/ user.inc languages/translations/ en.po project.sample/ project.inc project_callbacks.inc (removed) user/ home.php show_user.php workunit.php Rom 9 Mar 2005 - Bug Fix: Instead of relying on the wxWidget framework for UI updates for various menu items, move the update code to the OnFrameRender function so we don't eat CPU in what seems to be a busy loop. It seems for platforms other than Windows the Idle event is fired for each iteration of a message pump check where no other events were processed. On Windows their is an actual message sent by the OS called WM_IDLE which is used by wxWidgets. clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp, .h David 9 Mar 2005 - db_dump: add UNIX time to directory names for old stats (so that you can run db_dump more than once pre day) sched/ db_dump.C David 9 Mar 2005 - compile fix client/ http.C sched/ validate_util.h Rom 9 Mar 2005 - Cleanup a few asserts that were happening under Linux and not Windows clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp MainDocument.cpp David 9 Mar 2005 - core client: allow show_graphics RPCs even for results that are not currently scheduled client/ gui_rpc_server.C David 9 Mar 2005 - get rid of the STRING256 type, and change things to std::string - subscript error in SCHEDULER_OP::update_urls().

Removed Eric Heien's old boinc.pbroj which is confusing on CVS because it is a bundle, which looks like a directory to CVS. New boinc.pbproj bundle is checked in zipped. - Changes for Mac GUI BOINC manager and core client. Major rework of XCode project file. BOINC Manager has standard Mac application bundle with icon. Client doesn't ask for User ID or Project URL on command line. Added code for Mac to determine idle time (user inactivity). Core Client is embedded in BOINC Manager application bundle.

NOTE: Some problems remain with the current design, such as pointing out when a username and password combination is invalid. Currently the only way for somebody to know something is up is by looking into the messages tab, but by then the username and password have been recorded in the acct_mgr_login.xml file because there is no way for the manager to know something is wrong. clientgui/ BOINCGUI.pjd DlgAccountManager.cpp, .h (added) Events.h MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h lib/ acct_mgr_client.C, .h (added) gui_rpc_client.C, .h David 11 Mar 2005 - fix make_project tools/ make_project David 11 Mar 2005 - BOINC manager: avoid asserts by commenting out some code - fix account manager functions - print messages on acct mgr RPC start/end client/ acct_mgr.C clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp lib/ acct_mgr_client.C gui_rpc_client.C David 12 Mar 2005 - Change the appearance of the Task area of the BOINC manager.

NOTE: I was working in this area a bit since I'm trying to track down why E@H isn't always able to display graphics during a start screen saver request. The changes here and some build environment changes should now allow us to build a debug E@H application with debug BOINC API libraries and now see additional information reported to stderr_txt as the application tries to identify/transition into the calling desktop. lib/ diagnostics.C, .h David 17 Mar 2005 - on Unix, create download files with user/group/other access (RW or RWX, as needed) All other files have permissions based on umask. client/ client_types.C cs_account.C David 18 Mar 2005 - Web: make download network stuff work for new projects html/inc/ download_network.inc py/Boinc/ setup_project.py David 19 Mar 2005 - rewrite installer text for LGPL - remove old license file doc/ license_1.0.txt (removed) win_build/installerv2/redist/0409/ eula.rtf Bruce 19 Mar 2005 - Overdue checkins on a bunch of minor scheduler code. Some that is E@H specific is now included (but protected by #ifdef EINSTEIN_AT_HOME to make it simpler for me to maintain consistency with BOINC cvs. - Added project-specific unacceptable_os() function for rejecting hosts. - Transitioner and scheduler now initalize host.max_results_day correctly in database under all circumstances. - Browser requests are now correctly identifed (REQUEST_METHO=="GET") and properly redirected. This was broken. David, please see comment near one of the probable_user_browser=true in handle_request.C. I think something is wrong here (or I am missing the point!). - More info about requests is logged - If the scheduler hangs (incoming request incomplete) it will normally be killed by Apache after a timeout. But this happens silently. So I now install a signal handler and catch this SIGTERM. In this case an error message is logged and all open files are flushed before exit(1)ing. - If IO is passed through files, check that request length and content length agree and log a message if they do NOT. - active_frac not correctly reported by 4.19 and earlier core clients. Adjust for this in estimating wallclock execution times. - All messages sent to user ALSO get logged to cgi.log - Added a small block into validator code to attach a debugger. sched/ handle_request.C sched_send.C main.C transitioner.C validator.C David 19 Mar 2005 - API: changed all vars modified by signal handler to "volatile" - API: fixed typo in key handling for Unix api/ boinc_api.C David 21 Mar 2005 - API: changed time variables in worker signal handler from double to int. Apparently some platforms had atomicity problems where accessing doubles uses multiple instructions and a signal was happening in the middle. Don't need fractional time because worker timer period is 1 sec. From Takafumi Kawana and Bruce Allen. - boinc_checkpoint_completed(): clear ready_to_checkpoint AFTER resetting time_until_checkpoint From Takafumi Kawana. api/ boinc_api.C sched/ handle_request.C David 21 Mar 2005 - BOINC web site: reorganized front page, download page - scheduler: fixed a heinous bug in validate_util.C introduced on 7 Mar 2005 doc/ various sched/ handle_request.C validate_util.C Rom 22 Mar 2005 - Bug Fix: Capture the WM_CLOSE message that Intellitype and Intellipoint sends us and ignore them, that'll keep the screensaver up and running even when Intellipoint/Intellitype is trying to shut us down. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h David 22 Mar 2005 - user web: mail_passwd.php was broken. Aargh. html/user/ forum_thread.php mail_passwd.php David 22 Mar 2005 - core client: the -attach_project option now must be followed by the URL and account key. It no longer prompts for these. client/ client_state.C,h cs_cmdline.C main.C David 23 Mar 2005 - user web: added "prefs" anchor to home.php so you can link to Preferences from front page. - add teamid to account management RPCs html/ inc/ user.inc user/ am_get_info.php am_set_info.php David 23 Mar 2005 - user web: don't delete teams even when they become empty html/ inc/ team.inc ops/ db_update.php user/ white.css David 24 Mar 2005 - User web: in create_account_action() there was SQL of the form select * from user where email_addr like '@$email_addr\\_%'. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. The email address itself can contain underscores, which are wildcards for "like". If the user table is big (like S@h) and the email address is like a_a@b.c, a very slow query will result. - added functions lookup_user_munged_email() and validated() to inc/email.inc. Use these for logic related to munged email addresses - don't put SQL into top-level PHP files. html/ inc/ email.inc user/ create_account_action.php Charlie 25 Mar 2005 - BOINC Manager: create BOINC Data directory in "/Library/Application Support/" directory, not in user's "~/Library/Application Support/" - Set working directory to "BOINC Data" before redirecting stdout and stderr - Fixed BOINCTRACE compile warning when non-debug build on Mac - Fixed bug in CTaskBarIcon::OnNetworkSelection - Implemented Dock popup menu using CTaskBarIcon class - Implemented System Menubar Icon menu using CMacSystemMenu class derived from CTaskBarIcon class - Changed "Hide" menu item to "Close" (Mac only) client/ main.c clientGUI/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp BOINCTaskBar.cpp/h MainFrame.cpp clientGUI/mac/ MacSysMenu.cpp/h (add) SystemMenu_Prefix.pch (add) SystemMenu.m (add) lib/ diagnostics.h mac_build/ Info.plist (add) SystemMenu-Info.plist (add) boinc.pbproj/project.pbxproj (add) Charlie 26 Mar 2005 - BOINC Manager: Workaround apparent bug in Mac version of WxWidgets which prevented the main window's size and position from being restored on application launch. - Precompile stdwx.h in XCode project BOINC Manager builds. clientGUI/ MainFrame.cpp mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj Rom 28 Mar 2005 - Well now that I've fully tested and deployed BOINC via Active Directory, I found something wrong. When deploying BOINC to the computer via Active Directory the installation runs as the computer account when copying files so files can be read off a network share, but when we get to the CopyAccountFiles custom action setup would fail since LOCALSYSTEM only has access to the local machine. The solution is to include the account files and any other configuration file as part of the BOINC MSI transform which needs to be created in order to populate the global properties for deployment. The setup documentation will be updated to reflect this change. - Bug Fix: Attempting to install BOINC in a managed environment would fail since ALLUSERS is automatically set to 1 for any installation type. So if we detect that we are being installed in a managed environment ignore the ALLUSERS value. Menu items are still installed for all users though, that'll be fixed a little later. win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism win_build/installerv2/redist/Windows/src/boinccas/ boinccas95.def boinccas95.vcproj CACopyAccountFiles.cpp, .h (removed) CAValidateSetupType.cpp win_build/installerv2/redist/Windows/x86/ boinccas.dll boinccas95.dll David 28 Mar 2005 - user web: put charset in header if it's defined (from Jens) - user web: call db_init() before mysql_real_escape_string() html/ inc/ util.inc user/ account_created.php am_get_info.php am_query.php am_set_info.php confirm_email_change.php login_action.php Rom 28 Mar 2005 - Keep people from rating posts if their RAC falls below 5.0 html/inc/ forum.inc David 29 Mar 2005 - user SHM_R|SHM_W instead of 0777 in shmget() call lib/ shmem.C David 29 Mar 2005 - API: in boinc_finish(), call boinc_worker_thread_cpu_time() instead of boinc_calling_thread_cpu_time() (since the graphics thread can call boinc_finish()). Also, offset CPU time by initial_wu_cpu_time instead of aid.wu_cpu_time This may help "zero CPU time" problems, but I doubt it api/ boinc_api.C lib/ util.C Rom 29 Mar 2005 - Bug Fix: Populate the tooltip field for the system tray icon so that people can flag the manager as hidden and keep it hidden, instead of having it show back up after every reboot. - Bug Fix: Fix the Disable network access menu items after Charlie's fix for the Mac, apparently the event class is populated at different points between the two platforms, which causes code confusion, and the docs don't help. Instead query the state from the core client and then figure out what to do, this keeps the code the same on all platforms and avoids the quirk. - Add additional information to the attach to projects dialog describing the project url and account key are sent via email from the project. - Changed the baloon timeout value from 10 seconds to 5 seconds which is about where the majority believes it should be. clientgui/ BOINCGUI.pjd BOINCTaskBar.cpp DlgAttachProject.cpp MainFrame.cpp clientgui/msw/ taskbarex.h David 29 Mar 2005 - moved NetOpen(), NetClose(), NetCheck() from win_net.cpp (removed) to lib/network.C client/ client_state.C hostinfo_network.h hostinfo_unix.C time_stats.C win/ win_net.cpp,h (removed) wingui_mainwindow.cpp lib/ network.C,h win_build/ boinc_cli.vcproj boinc_gui.vcproj David 29 Mar 2005 - Transitioner: when updating a workunit (DB_TRANSITIONER_ITEM_SET::update_workunit()), only update those fields that have changed since we read it. This is an attempt to deal with the following scenario: 1) validator finds canonical result, triggers assimilation, sets assimilate_state = READY 2) transitioner reads WU 3) assimilator reads WU and updates assimilate_state = DONE 4) transitioner writes WU (with assimilate_state still READY) 5) assimilator processes WU again (ERROR) db/ boinc_db.C,h sched/ assimilator.C transitioner.C Rom 29 Mar 2005 - Implement GUI RPC authentication in the manager - Implement a Select Computer MRU list so you only have to type the remote computer name once. clientgui/ DlgSelectComputer.cpp MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h lib/ gui_rpc_client.C, .h Charlie 29 Mar 2005 BOINC Manager: Work around apparent bug in Mac version of WxWidgets which prevented the main window's size and position from being restored on application launch.

Postponed implementing the umask change due to security concerns: removed umask(0) from Core Client & BOINC Manager; changed BOINC Data directory back to user's "~/Library/Application Support/" Automate generating Mac version numbers from version.h file. (Added shell script build phase and tiny SetVersion shell application to XCode project to create / update InfoPlist.strings file.) CViewProjects::OnTaskLinkClicked(): added casts to change compiler errors to compiler warnings; this allows it to compile. client/ main.C clientGUI/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp MainFrame.cpp ViewProjects.cpp clientGUI/mac/ SetVersion.C (add) mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj David 30 Mar 2005 - Fixed bug where clients report a result CPU time as zero, even though the result used a lot of CPU. The basic problem was in the API: the final call to update_app_progress() (from boinc_finish()) was trying to send a status message. But some fraction of the time the message slot was full (core client hadn't read previous message) so this message wouldn't get delivered. Core client was using checkpoint_cpu_time as final CPU, so (for applications that never checkpoint) the core client would never get a nonzero checkpoint_cpu_time. I fixed this at both ends, i.e. if you either use a new core client with old apps, or use new apps with existing core clients, the problem will go away. Fixes: 1) API: retry sending final status message a few times w/ sleep 2) core client: use current_cpu_time rather than checkpoint_cpu_time as the result's final_cpu_time. - core client: show current directory on startup - win compile fixes api/ boinc_api.C client/ app_control.C client_state.C net_xfer.C win/ wingui.h clientgui/ BOINCTaskCtrl.cpp lib/ network.h David 30 Mar 2005 - Apparently, even though the port number 1043 is assigned to BOINC (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers) Microsoft IIS binds to it on some systems. So... core client: if can't bind to 1043, bind to 31416 BOINC mgr: if can't connect to 31416, connect to 1043 If something is bound to 31416 we're screwed.

A page for setting this cookie has also been made (language_select.php). - The automatic selection now searches for all the languages that the user's browser specifies before using the project default (ie. it no longer uses only the first language that the browser gives it in the string). - Made some small additions to en.po so that the language select page can display the correct names of the languages instead of their ISO names: "Danish (Dansk)" instead of "da". - Added some more logging so that missing tokens will be printed to the logfile as well as on screen. - Added the title on the sample forum index page to en.po /html/ inc/ translation.inc languages/ translations/ en.po user/ language_select.php (new) img/ (new) da.png (new) David 2 April 2005 html/ inc/ translation.inc ops/ repair_validator_problem.php David 3 April 2005 - Maintain the "main host venue" in a more robust way. (Reminder: the "main host venue" is the host venue of the project that supplied the most recent global prefs. Host venues for each project are stored in account files. The global prefs file identifies the source project.) Old: main host venue is stored in the client state file, and updated only when a scheduler RPC returns global prefs with a new host venue. Problem: if it's missing from the client state file it may never get set to the correct value. New: on startup, the global prefs file is parsed once to obtain the source project. Then main host venue is computed, based on the source project and the host venue specified in its account file. Then the global prefs file is parsed again, using this venue. - user web: add option for columnar prefs display.

Instead, the core client just tells another app to start doing SSG. It hangs on to the last GRAPHICS_MSG (workstation/desktop will be the same) - Got rid of SS_STATUS_NOTGRAPHICSCAPABLE ??? - Allow really small CPU scheduling periods (for debugging) client/ app_control.C app_graphics.C client_state.C cs_apps.C ss_logic.C,h win/ win_screensaver.cpp,h lib/ gui_rpc_client.h prefs.C Rom 5 April 2005 - Moved the daemon communication to a seperate thread so that the screensaver can be more responsive to the system since it cannot now be blocked on network IO. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp,h Charlie 5 April 2005 Mac: Enabled close box on science application graphics, handle Quit properly using Bernd's suggestions.

NOTE: The documentation also states that on Windows all threads are joinable, so in the end, the crashes were related to me attempting to cleanup the thread when it had already deleted itself, which caused a double free situation. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h David 6 April 2005 - code cleanup in BOINC manager clientgui/ *.cpp David 7 April 2005 - Attempt to fix the situation where: 1) user merges hosts; hosts with lower IDs are folded into host with maximal ID, then deleted 2) If host's client_state.xml file still has one of the lower IDs, then the next time it contacts the scheduler, the host lookup fails and a new host record is created, which defeats the purpose of the merge. Solution: - When merge hosts, don't delete lower-ID records. Instead, change them to "zombie" state, in which: - userid is zero - rpc_seqno is ID of new host record - scheduler: if host is zombie, follow link to new host, send back its ID to client db/ boinc_db.h html/ inc/ util.inc user/ host_edit_action.php host_edit_form.php sched/ handle_request.C David 7 April 2005 - Core client: deal correctly with HTTP servers that don't support the Range: option. Namely: if we issue an HTTP GET request with a Range option, and the reply header is 200 OK (rather than 206 Partial Content) then assume the server is sending us the whole file; reset bytes_xfered and offset to zero, and open the file in "wb" rather than "ab" mode. client/ http.C,h David 7 April 2005 - Python: in install_boinc_files(): don't copy "sample" php files, since this is called from "upgrade" and it would overwrite existing files.

Also move file size checking logic here. PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer(): use FILE_INFO::verify_downloaded_file() to decide whether to use existing file, rather than doing a bunch of checks manually PERS_FILE_XFER::poll(): don't check size on completion of xfer.

If the file IS open (locked), then do NOT hand back the file length. Instead return a transient error. This will prevent transmission of upload data starting at the wrong offset. - file_upload_handler: ignore <data_server_request>tag - To help understand when/why multiple file_upload_handlers are trying to write to the same file, set default log level to DEBUG. Also log messages at level CRITICAL if there is an attempt to write to a locked file. We may want to change this level to DEBUG in the future, if this turns out to be 'normal' TCP buffering of data between host and server. sched/ file_upload_handler.C Charlie 15 April 2005 Mac: Fix compile errors for BOINC Manager. client/ net_xfer.C clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp MainDocument.cpp mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj English.lproj/ InfoPlist.strings David 15 April 2005 - file upload handler: Solaris compile fix - mail_passwd.php: if an account exists with non-munged address, return that account key (old code could return account key for a munged address, even though a non-munged one exists) html/user/ get_passwd.php mail_passwd.php sched/ file_upload_handler.C David 15 April 2005 - core client, GUI RPC: if no remote connections allowed, use lookback address (127.0.0.1) for listening socket client/ gui_rpc_server.C lib/ boinc_cmd.C gui_rpc_client.C David 15 April 2005 - Manager: added "no more work" toggle for projects (from James Drews) and fix compile warnings clientgui/ DlgAttachProject.cpp DlgConnection.cpp DlgSelectComputer.cpp MainDocument.cpp,h MainFrame.cpp ViewMessages.cpp ViewProjects.cpp,h ViewStatistics.cpp Bruce 15 April 2005 - file_upload_handler: fixed another bug. If you fopen(path, "a") in append mode then fseek() then write to the file, the fseek() HAS NO EFFECT. This is documented ANSI C. So I have eliminated the fseek. We now check that the file size corresponds exactly to the claimed offset of the data. If they do not agree then return a transient error to force the host to ask again for the file length and re-transmit data. sched/ file_upload_handler.C David 15 April 2005 - removed close() call in RPC_CLIENT constructor (???)

I learned that is it not reliable to use flock/lockf/fnctl file locking with buffered IO. This is because the stream libraries might unexpectedly open/close/dup file descriptors on you. So I have modified the file write/append functions to use raw IO rather than buffered IO. In doing this I also found and fixed some small bugs. There is no guarantee that one can mix flock/lockf/fnctl file locking so I have settled on fnctl since it is POSIX and gives the most control. sched/ file_upload_handler.C David 19 April 2005 - bug fixes for remote GUI RPC client/ gui_rpc_client.C lib/ gui_rpc_client.C Bruce 19 April 2005 - Better error reporting from problem_host.php reporting page, if host does not exist.

Without this we will execute an expensive deterministic search over all WU, looking for one that is appropriate. This could be a config option if desired, or one might add in an extra search step to find WU with appropriate resources. But for now this is the cleanest. sched/ sched_locality.C Rom 3 May 2005 - Bug Fix: Global Loc issue with the statistics tab on creation. clientgui/ ViewStatistics.cpp David 3 May 2005 - scheduler: fixed a bug where host::update() could potentially overwrite a credit update happening around the same time. Did this by adding a function HOST::update_diff(HOST& initial) which does an update only of those fields that have changed relative to the given initial values. (from Bruce Allen) - scheduler: fixed a bug where host_cpid wasn't being maintained properly. Caused it to change on each RPC. - removed unused "p_calculated" from HOST - removed code to parse non-existent fields p_fpop_err etc. in HOST db/ boinc_db.C,h sched/ handle_request.C server_types.C Bruce 3 May 2005 - ignore fields p_fpop_err in scheduler requests (still there from 4.19 core clients) else these generate lots of logfile noise.

NOTE: hosts that lacked a gmt offset in the tm structure (System V with no BSD extensions) had the WRONG SIGN for the timezone. This is now fixed. These host types (AIX, Cygwin?) will now have a change in sign in their timezone, making it consistent with other Unix hosts and with Win32 hosts. - Note that with these changes we adopt the convention that the database timezone value is the (Local Standard Time) - (UTC time). This quantity only depends upon spatial location on the earth's surface and is NOT a function of time. - Change php functions to correctly describe timezone field. client/ hostinfo_unix.C html/ inc/ email.inc host.inc db_ops.inc Rom 4 May 2005 - Bug Fix: Fix the screensaver on Win9x class of machines. - Bug Fix: The help menu needed to include items for the BOINC website and manager page. - Some code cleanup client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp clientgui/ Events.h MainFrame.cpp, .h ViewMessages.cpp ViewProjects.cpp ViewStatistics.cpp ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp David 4 May 2005 - core client: fix bug where sometimes we don't fetch work even though a CPU is idle (from John McLeod) client/ cs_scheduler.C David 4 May 2005 - limit size of author field in forums (from Rob Ogilvie) html/ inc/ forum.inc user/ black.css style.css style-black.css Rom 4 May 2005 - Update the minimum wxWidgets version we support to 2.6.0. / configure.ac Charlie 5 May 2005 Mac: Modify projects and rebuild with OS 10.3.0 compatibility SDK.

If a science application isn't listening to the quit request it may not be responding to suspend/resume either which would cause problems during the benchmark process. - If a science application doesn't shutdown within 10 seconds, kill it. - Fix the bug I introduced last night with the view statistics tab. - Make suspend_all call atp->preempt() instead of doing the same thing itself. - Move the starting benchmark message to a place right before the benchmarks start. We were receiving a few process control messages and people might interpret that to mean other stuff was going on during the benchmarks. client/ app.C, .h app_control.C cs_benchmark.C cs_prefs.C clientgui/ ViewStatistics.cpp Eric 05/05/05 Woo Hoo! - Modified the BOINC_GETSOCKOPT_TYPE macro so it determines the proper type of parameter 5 to getsockopt() by using the compiler. The macro was in danger of becoming an ever expanding list of case statements, since some platforms use socklen_t, others use size_t, and still others use int. Some aren't even consistent from OS rev to OS rev. - A macro BOINC_SOCKLEN_T is set in config.h to indicate the proper type. This is typedef to be boinc_socklen_t in lib/network.h. The special cases for __APPLE__ and WIN32 can probably be removed at a later time. Places where socklen_t was used have been changed to boinc_socklen_t. - Added double inclusion protection to network.h - Added libtool.m4 so porters don't need to install libtool. - Fixed header order problem in SAH_HEADER_STDCXX which caused problems on solaris - Added caching of results to SAH_CHECK_NAMESPACES and SAH_FUNCS_IN_NAMESPACE - Small changes to configure.ac to improve compatibility with earlier versions of automake. - Added include of <sys/socket.h> to time_stats.C - Fixed problem with std_fixes.h when included from C. m4/ libtool.m4 boinc_getsockopt.m4 sah_header_stdcxx.m4 sah_namespace.m4 client/ time_stats.C gui_rpc_server.C ssl_net_xfer.C lib/ network.C network.h std_fixes.h Charlie 5 May 2005 Mac installer: Wait until installer quits before launching BOINC. mac_installer/ PostInstall.cpp Charlie 6 May 2005 Macintosh only: wxProcess::Exists() and wxKill() are unimplemented in WxMac-2.6.0 so create our own CBOINCGUIApp::ProcessExists(), use it and kill() in CBOINCGUIApp::ShutdownBOINCCore(). clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp/h David 6 May 2005 - fixes to work fetch policy (from John McLeod) - changed names of work-fetch urgency constants to WORK_FETCH_* (use common prefix for related symbols) client/ client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C David 6 May 2005 - prevent users from changing their name to empty string (from Rob Ogilvie) html/user/ edit_user_info_action.php Charlie 7 May 2005 Mac: Fix problems with window position & size caused by calling Maximize(false).

These fixes all work in Firefox. IE, Opera, and KTHML users will get most of the benefits, but not all of them. - Wrote a page explaining how to use bbcode tags and linked to it instead of the allowed HTML tags section - After editing forum preferences, people are now taken back to the forum preferences page again - so they can see how it looks - Quoting text on the forums now uses bbcode instead of HTML - Added a signature delimiter - Renamed get_settings_from_user to get_transform_settings_from_user - Made compile_languages optional in the translator (wow how did anything work without this in earlier versions?) html/ inc/ db_forum.inc forum.inc forum_show.inc translation.inc util.inc text_transform.inc (new) user/ edit_forum_preferences_form.php edit_forum_preferences_action.php edit_user_info_action.php forum_edit.php forum_reply.php forum_thread.php white.css bbcode.php (new) Rom 13 May 2005 - When an application is in screensaver mode, do not respond to the WM_CLOSE event since Intellitype/Intellipoint will try to shutdown the screensavers. - When in screensaver mode respond to a power broadcast event by shutting ourselves down so the OS can go to sleep. api/ windows_opengl.C Rom 13 May 2005 - Cause the screensaver process to exit when a power broadcast event is fired. It was already shutting down the screensaver when the APMSUSPEND event was fired but now we shutdown during the system query phase which happens before the system actually decides to shutdown client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp David 14 May 2005 - fix bug where multiple scheduler RPCs or master file fetches could be started simultaneously (this is a no-no). - NET_XFER_SET::do_select(): don't add a socket to fd_set if io_done is true.

This works by creating a file called CGI_<HOSTID> in the cgi-bin/ directory, and using Posix advisory file locking. I have been testing this code for three days and am seeing *some* invocations of this. David, I'll send details to the dev mailing list or talk with you about it later this week.

Update installer to work around problems launching BOINC Manager. clientgui/ mac/ mac_saver_module.cpp mac_installer/ postinstall postupgrade PostInstall.cpp David 21 May 2005 - API: there seem to be problems with the user of timer signals in the BOINC API (Unix version). On some platforms the signals are delivered to both the worker and graphics thread, and they can deadlock on something down in _vprintf(). Rather than try to sort this out, we'll switch to using a separate thread instead of signals. (from J.R. Oldroyd) api/ boinc_api.C Rom 21 May 2005 - Bug Fix: The ATI graphics drivers do not like to be told to switch to the original desktop and window station that the application started with. So now the application will detect which window station and desktop it is currently running under and only switch if it is different from the desired desktop and window station. There was no API failure codes to look for, the application believed everything was running like it was supposed to be. api/ windows_opengl.C Charlie 22 may 2005 Fix problems launching BOINC Manager from installer. Build release using BOINC.pmsp with PackageMaker 1.2 (from XCode 1.5 / Panther) instead of BOINC.pmproj with PackageMaker 2.0 (XCode 2.0 / Tiger) to avoid "null volume" error when installing on Mac OS 10.3.x. So updated version number strings in BOINC.pmsp. mac_installer/ BOINC.pmsp postinstall postupgrade PostInstall.cpp David 22 May 2005 - debugged yesterday's API change on Linux. It worked OK except CPU time wasn't getting reported. It turns out that getrusage(), on Linux at least, returns CPU time only for the calling thread (in this case the timer thread, whereas we wanted the worker thread). So: put back a timer signal, but use it ONLY to get worker CPU time, and only do that if the worker thread is the one handling the signal. Store the worker CPU time in a variable (worker_thread_cpu_time) which is read by the timer thread. Aargh!! Still need to make sure this works on Mac OS X, Solaris etc. api/ boinc_api.C graphics_impl.C David 22 May 2005 - screensaver logic: if > 1 apps are running (e.g. multiprocessor) switch between them every 10 minutes - compile fix for Win api/ boinc_api.C client/ app_graphics.C ss_logic.C David 22 May 2005 - Unix API: don't do any floating-point math in the timer signal handler - compile fixes api/ boinc_api.C Charlie 22 may 2005 Mac: add build of boinc_cmd command-line application to XCode project.

Eliminate "BOINC is no longer in screensaver mode" message. clientgui/ mac/ mac_saver_module.cpp David 25 May 2005 - Changed the interface for creating a GUI RPC connection. RPC_CLIENT::init() synchronous RPC_CLIENT::init_asynch(double timeout, bool retry) If retry is true, keep trying (alternating between alternate and main ports) until succeed or time out. This is used by the BOINC manager when it starts up the core client, since it may take many seconds before the core client runs and creates the listening socket. NOTE: the BOINC Manager sees if the core client is running by connecting to it. It then closes this connection and connects again. Would be better to connect just once. clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp MainDocument.cpp lib/ boinc_cmd.C gui_rpc_client.C,h David 25 May 2005 - don't initiate scheduler RPC is activity suspended client/ cs_scheduler.C David 25 May 2005 - if an app hasn't checkpointed yet, never preempt it by killing it (even in CPU benchmark case) client/ app_control.C cs_apps.C cs_benchmark.C David 26 May 2005 - feeder: added a "-mod n i" option. This lets you run schedulers on more than one host. db/ boinc_db.C,h sched/ feeder.C David 26 May 2005 - file_deleter: if a file is present but can't be deleted, don't mark the WU or result as file_delete_state = DONE; leave it in state READY. This addresses the case where files can't be deleted because of dir permissions. If such an error occurs, sleep for 5 seconds before next scan (avoid rapid infinite loop) (From Kevin Reed) - Change log messages in file_deleter to same format as other daemons, e.g. [WU#12345] sched/ file_deleter.C Rom 26 May 2005 - Include version information for boinc_cmd.exe so the Windows installer will know it can upgrade the file with future revisions. client/win/ boinc_cli.rc boinc_cmd.rc, .h (Added) win_build/ boinc.sln boinc_guirpc_test.vcproj Rom 26 May 2005 (boinc_public) - Tag for 4.44 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_44 David 27 May 2005 - added help and version cmdline options to boinc_cmd.C (from Eric Myers) lib/ boinc_cmd.C David 28 May 2005 - commented out RedHat stuff from config.guess (fix problem where Linux platform name contains "redhat") config.guess David 28 May 2005 - reschedule CPUs when resume activities for whatever reason (from Jim Harris) client/ cs_prefs.C David 28 May 2005 - BOINC manager: changed message in work tab try to make it clear WHY a result is not running Not quite done - need to show if project is suspended - BOINC manager: changed message in projects tab "Project suspended" -> "Suspended by user" Also, don't show "won't get new work" - BOINC manager code cleanup - got rid of enums in CMainDocument for RESULTTYPE, CPU_SCHED_TYPE, and RUN_TYPE. ?? Why make new constants when we already have perfectly good ones? - got rid of (in CMainDocument): bool IsProjectSuspended(int iIndex); bool IsProjectRPCPending(int iIndex); bool IsProjectAllowedToGetWork(int iIndex); int GetWorkState(int iIndex); int GetWorkSchedulerState(int iIndex); bool IsWorkAborted(int iIndex); bool IsWorkAcknowledged(int iIndex); bool IsWorkActive(int iIndex); bool IsWorkReadyToReport(int iIndex); bool IsWorkSuspended(int iIndex); clientgui/ BOINCTaskBar.cpp MainDocument.cpp,h ViewProjects.cpp ViewWork.cpp David 31 May 2005 - Add 2 new items to scheduler RPC request: - <other_results> List of other results for this project (besides those being reported, if any) This can be used by the scheduler to resend previously sent results that were lost somehow. Includes only the name of the result. - <in_progress_results> List of all results for which computation is not done. Includes estimated remaining CPU time, report deadline. This can be used by the scheduler to decide whether to send short-deadline results. Note 1: the scheduler doesn't use the above info yet. Need to get this code into clients first. Note 2: I used tag names <other_result> and <ip_result> for the results within each element. This will prevent the current scheduler from mistaking them for elements being reported. This is a kludge, but is fixed in new scheduler code (see next item) - add skip_unrecognized() function to lib/parse.C Call this when get an unrecognized line. If it's a single tag "<foo>", this will skip all lines up to and including "</foo>" - Change Win name from "BOINC Daemon" to "BOINC client" (let's not introduce random new terms at this point) - boinc_cmd: print error messages in some cases (should finish this to handle other cases) - fix bug in boinc_cmd: wasn't connecting to alternate port client/ cs_scheduler.C win/ boinc_cli.rc lib/ boinc_cmd.C gui_rpc_client.C,h parse.C,h util.C sched/ server_types.C David 31 May 2005 - core client: remove extraneous scheduling-related messages. Just say when we're entering/leaving either no-work-fetch mode or deadline-scheduling mode - got rid of work_request arg to CLIENT_STATE::make_scheduler_request() and SCHEDULER_OP::init_op_project() - When making a scheduler RPC, always show the work request and the # of results being returned client/ client_state.h client_types.h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C,h David 31 May 2005 - If a project has multiple scheduler URLs, contact them cyclically but starting at a random index. - Add error-checking on start_rpc() for schedulers beyond the first one. This might fix some of the problems seen recently with Pirate. client/ client_state.C client_types.C,h scheduler_op.C,h David 1 June 2005 - Restrict the account management mechanism to reduce its security risk. 1) am_create.php now returns an error if an account (validated or not) exists with the given email address. 2) The account-confirmation email cautions the recipient to ignore it if they didn't make the request 2) am_query.php returns an error if an account with same email exists. - Add an "acct_mgr_name" argument to am_create.php so we can tell the user where the request came from The reason for this change is as follows. Suppose a hacker X knows or guesses the email address of a user Y. X sends an am_create RPC to the project. Y receives an email and, without thinking, clicks on the URL. X then does an am_query RPC and gets Y's authenticator. These changes prevent this attack. There's still a small security risk. A hacker could spam a project with am_create RPCs with various known email addresses. A small fraction of recipients might click on validate link, which would create accounts with authenticators known to the hacker. However I don't see this as a significant problem. html/ inc/ email.inc user/ am_create.php am_query.php login_action.php David 1 June 2005 - Reorganization of schedule RPC and master file fetch code trying to get rid of bug where once project's scheduler URLS end up in another project. The following conditions are either all true or all false: 1) SCHEDULER_OP::project is nonzero 2) SCHEDULER_OP::state is not IDLE 3) SCHEDULER_OP::http_op is in HTTP_OP_SET. These become true in: SCHEDULER_OP::start_rpc() SCHEDULER_OP::init_master_fetch() These become false in: SCHEDULER_OP::poll() (when an operation finishes) SCHEDULER_OP::abort() (called when reset or abort project) - Changed SCHEDULER_OP from struct to class and hid some of its data client/ client_state.C cs_scheduler.C schedule_op.C,h David 1 June 2005 - a result is not "in progress" if it's ready to report client/ client_types.C David 1 June 2005 - Scheduler: when send the client a delay request because it's contacted us before min_sendwork_interval, add an additional 1% to the delay request. This handles the case where the client's clock is slightly faster than the servers, and it repeatedly does an RPC slightly before it should (from John McLeod) sched/ handle_request.C David 1 June 2005 - add <work_fetch_no_new_work> and <cpu_earlist_deadline_first> items to GUI RPC "get_state" reply. These indicate the current work-fetch and CPU sched policies. They're integers - 1 means in effect, 0 means not. - don't write cpu_sched_work_done_this period to statefile, or in get_state GUI RPC client/ client_state.h cs_statefile.C David 2 June 2005 - add a new value FILE_DELETE_ERROR for file delete state (for when the unlink failed, e.g. because of permissions). - add a new cmdline flag -retry_errors to file deleter (from Kevin Reed) db/ boinc_db.h html/inc/ db_ops.inc sched/ file_deleter.C David 2 June 2005 - Scheduler: don't write Content-type: text/plain twice (from Bruce Allen) - move set_core_dump_size_limit() code to separate function sched/ handle_request.C main.C,h David 2 June 2005 - scheduler/work fetch changes (from John McLeod) client/ app.C client_types.C cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C David 3 June 2005 Stuff related to per-host lockfiles in scheduler: - enable locking only if <sched_lockfile_dir> is present in config file - delete lockfiles from sched_lockfile_dir (NOT necessarily CGI dir) - if mylockf(fd) fails (can't lock file) close fd before returning Otherwise would overflow fd limit under FCGI - Fix error message if lock_sched() returns -1 (-1 is not a PID) - move lock-release logic into separate function (unlock_sched()) sched/ handle_request.C sched_util.C David 6 June 2005 - remove char* versions of starts_with() and ends_with(). (Attempt to fix app_start problem on HPUX) client/ cs_trickle.C file_names.C lib/ util.C,h David 6 June 2005 - (scheduler changes from John McLeod): I believe that I may have found the idle CPU problem for multiple CPUs. I have also changed one variable name that was apparently causing some confusion and chqanged a couple of debug messages to print a bit more information. client/ cs_scheduler.C net_xfer.C David 6 June 2005 - Manager: show frac done correctly (from Glenn Dill) clientgui/ ViewWork.cpp David 7 June 2005 code cleanup in CPU sched/work fetch area: - introduced concepts of "runnable result" "runnable project" "potentially runnable project" These encapsulate a lot of the checks (suspended via gui, blah blah) that we do everywhere. For each of these, added a bool function. - rename things in terms of these concepts, e.g. local_total_resource_share -> runnable_resource_share (i.e. sum of resource shares of runnable projects) local_total_lt_available_resource_share -> potentially_runnable_source_share - eliminate the use of PROJECT::next_runnable_result as an indicator of whether a project has a runnable result. Just call PROJECT::runnable(). Eliminate the use of assign_results_to_project() to see if projects have a runnable result. - rename "debt" to "short_term_debt", including in client_state.xml (this will cause one-time parse error, shouldn't hurt anything) client/ client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C Rom 7 June 2005 (boinc_public) - Tag for 4.45 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_45 David 7 June 2005 - core client: eliminated the practice of passing "now" (time of day) as an argument, e.g. to poll functions. Instead, reference gstate.now. This is updated at the top of do_something(). If you're doing something that requires high resolution (e.g. NET_XFER_SET_POLL()) then call dtime() yourself. client/ *.C, *.h Rom 7 June 2005 (from Walt Gribben) - Adjust the logging functions so they do not randomly write outside the scoped area defined for spacing which might cause random crashes lib/ msg_log.C David 7 June 2005 - core client: store the overall work fetch urgency in CLIENT_STATE::overall_work_fetch_urgency, and don't pass it around as an argument - add PROJECT::downloading(): true if the project has a result in state RESULT_FILES_DOWNLOADING - got rid of "old" argument to CLIENT_STATE::next_project_need_work() - CLIENT_STATE::compute_work_requests(): return value is an error code, not overall urgency. client/ client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C,h David 7 June 2005 - code cleanup: use new functions (like RESULT::runnable() etc.) instead of inspecting member variables (like suspended_via_gui) - Added RESULT::runnable_soon(): true iff result is downloading or runnable, not suspended, project not suspended - fix bug in Rom's last checkin (Rom, please verify) client/ client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C lib/ msg_log.C network.C,h David 7 June 2005 - FILE_INFO::verify_file(): if a file fails verification, set its "status" field to the appropriate error code. This wasn't being done, so in most cases the core client would verify the file over and over. This was exacerbated by a bug I introduced 7 months and 3 weeks ago (and fixed earlier today). In CLIENT_STATE::update_result() I had if (now - last_time < 1.0) return false; last_time = 0; It should be "now", not zero. This caused pending input files to get checked 10 times a second, rather than once. client/ cs_files.C Rom 7 June 2005 (boinc_public) - Tag for 4.45a release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_45a David 8 June 2005 - core client: add constructor and destructor to NET_XFER, and have them close the file and/or socket if present. This should fix a bug where a file was left open in the case of a download failure, causing process creation failure later on. client/ app.C http.C net_xfer.C,h pers_file_xfer.C David 8 June 2005 - API, Unix/Linux/Mac: Don't use a SIGALRM signal in the worker thread to get CPU time. It turns out that the signal handler is usually called in a different thread anyway, and getrusage() return CPU time for the entire process, so it doesn't matter what thread we call it from. Instead, just call getrusage() from the timer thread. (From J.R. Oldroyd and Bernd Machenschalk) api/ boinc_api.C David 8 June 2005 - Added a new general preference: start/end hours for network communication client/ client_state.C,h cs_prefs.C prefs_file_xfer.C html/inc/ prefs.inc lib/ prefs.C,h David 8 June 2005 - Check network start/end hours even if user_network_request is ALWAYS. Currently that's the default, and in fact there's no interface for changing it to AUTO. - CLIENT_STATE::scheduler_rpc_poll(): check for master file fetch and user-requested scheduler RPCs before checking network_suspended flag. Otherwise the user might get into a state where their prefs don't allow network access (e.g. because of time-of-day), and they can't do an "update" to change the prefs client/ cs_prefs.C cs_scheduler.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 8 June 2005 - bug fix in net stats calculation (from Glenn Dill) - refactor code so adjust_debts() is independent from schedule_cpus() - call adjust_debts() from quit_activities(), so that long-term debt updated and written to state file when exit core client (from Glenn Dill) client/ client_state.h cs_apps.C cs_benchmark.C net_stats.C David 9 June 2005 - Changed variable names from "work_done" to "wall_cpu_time"; it's important to emphasize that debt accounting is done on the basis of how long a process is running, NOT how much CPU time it actually or reportedly got. - don't count non-CPU-intensive apps in calculation of total_wall_cpu_time_this_period - fixed crash if you run core client with -attach_project X client/ client_state.C,h client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_cmdline.C David 10 June 2005 - Fixed major goof in last checkin: caused all debt calculations to be no-op - Manager: in "status" column of Projects tab, show all relevant info, comma-separated client/ cs_apps.C clientgui/ ViewProjects.cpp David 10 June 2005 - BOINC Manager: change things so that if user tries to attach to a project and it fails, an alert dialog shows up within a few seconds, saying what went wrong and what to do about it. This involves several pieces: - add a new core client message priority: MSG_ALERT. The accompanying message should be shown in an alert dialog. - CLIENT_STATE::add_project: show alert msg if URL or key is bad - project_add_failed(): add a "reason" argument, and show alert messages accordingly - change SCHEDULER_OP::check_master_fetch_start(), SCHEDULER_OP::poll() to call project_add_failed() with appropriate reason - CMainDocument::CachedMessageUpdate(): scan new messages; if any are MSG_ALERT priority, show alert. Else append to main message vector. - CMainFrame::OnListPanelRender(): call pDoc->CachedMessageUpdate(). This is the easiest way I could find of checking new messages every 5 seconds, even when not in the Messages tab. NOTE: there's one piece I didn't do. When the Manager connects to a core client with some ALERT messages already in its message log, it probably shouldn't show alerts for them. Rom, please figure out how to do this. client/ client_msgs.h cs_account.C gui_rpc_server.C main.C,h scheduler_op.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp,h MainFrame.cpp ViewMessages.cpp lib/ gui_rpc_client.h David 11 June 2005 - changed project_add_failed() to a member function of PROJECT (PROJECT::attach_failed).

This is the ratio between CPU time accumulated by BOINC apps and the wall time those apps are scheduled at the OS level. It may be less than one if 1) apps page or do I/O 2) other CPU-intensive apps run This is computed with a 1-day exponential smoothing. For now, we're just computing this. At some point we'll use it to estimate how long will take. (from Glenn Dill) client/ client_state.h cs_apps.C time_stats.C,h David 13 June 2005 - bug fix in Manager: can't pass a std::string to printf(%s) clientgui/ ViewWork.cpp David 13 June 2005 - get Manager to compile on Windows: - can't do DynamicCast stuff for non-wx objects - don't bother doing both ASSERT(p) and if(p). Better yet, don't do either clientgui/ BOINCTaskBar.cpp ViewMessages.cpp ViewProjects.cpp ViewResources.cpp ViewStatistics.cpp ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp David 13 June 2005 - core client: estimate CPU time to completion of an active result as a weighted average of estimates based on 1) the workunit's flops count 2) the current reported CPU time and fraction done, weighted by the fraction done. This gives better estimates for apps that don't estimate their fraction done well (e.g. SETI@home). It should eliminate a behavior where the client gets 1 result, starts running it, and immediately requests more work. - core client: fix bug where we'd to a master file fetch after every scheduler RPC - core client: show messages when downloading master page, and when it succeeds or fails NOTE: I was seeing a bug where each file transfer would fail immediately with a CONN_REFUSED error (10061 on Win), but would succeed on retry. This went away when I changed the settings on my Symantec Personal Firewall to not check outgoing connections. Seems like a bug in Symantec to me. client/ app.C cs_account.C net_xfer.C scheduler_op.C David 13 June 2005 - core client: don't reset projects on major version change client/ client_state.C David 14 June 2005 - core client: use "potentially runnable resource share" instead of "total resource share" in several places: - estimating how long a project's work will take - how many CPUs a project should occupy - the "resource share fraction" reported to schedulers The idea: if a process is not potentially runnable (e.g. because it's suspended by user) it's not going to get CPU time, so it shouldn't be included in resource share calculations. (suggested by Jim Harris) - rename CLIENT_STATE::ettprc() to time_until_work_done(); add a "subset resource share" parameter - get rid of the global variable "trs" (total resource share) - make proj_min_results() a member of CLIENT_STATE, remove the "ncpus" param, and add a "subset resource share" param - CLIENT_STATE::avg_proc_rate() now computes processing rate across all projects - Multiply by TIME_STATS::cpu_efficiency in avg_proc_rate() - add functions runnable_resource_share() and potentially_runnable_resource_share() to CLIENT_STATE - set_cpu_scheduler_modes(): remove "* ncpus" from if (frac_booked > MAX_CPU_LOAD_FACTOR * up_frac * ncpus) (John: is this right?) Note: in some cases (e.g. if the work-fetch policy has decided to get work only for 1 or 2 project), the set of projects used in resource share calculations should be smaller than the potentially runnable ones. It's not clear how to do this. client/ client_state.C,h cs_apps.C cs_data.C cs_scheduler.C David 14 June 2005 - code to get phys/virt memsize, NCPUs, OS name on HPUX (from Lars Bausch) client/ hostinfo_unix.C Jeff 14 June 2005 - fixed a bug in the feeder code that handles the mod(result id) functionality. sched/ feeder.C David 14 June 2005 - web: the XML variant of show_user.php now allows the user to be identified either by ID or authenticator.

This produced 2 pointers to the same string, and both pointers could eventually get free()d. Solution: overload = and define a copy constructor for APP_INIT_DATA - fixed minor bug in forum code: rounding of ratings was wrong in the negative case html/inc/ forum.inc lib/ app_ipc.C,h David 15 June 2005 Scheduler changes: - renamed set_cpu_scheduler_modes() to set_scheduler_modes() - in set_scheduler_modes(), moved result checks that don't involve EDF simulation out of the loop that does EDF simulation. - in set_scheduler_modes(), change logic so that booked_to is in units of wall time, not CPU time. Makes things clearer. - removed the frac_booked logic from set_scheduler_modes(). I don't think this is correct. e.g. result A has deadline 1, CPU 1; result B has deadline 2, CPU 1. Then frac_booked would be 1.5, but we can meet both deadlines - renamed MAX_CPU_LOAD_FACTOR to CPU_PESSIMISM_FACTOR client/ cs_scheduler.C David 15 June 2005 - Add host id, host_cpid to XML output of show_user.php html/inc/ xml.inc Rom 15 June 2005 - Due to the previous app_ipc.C change only the project preferences were being copied, so expand on the previous check-in and copy the rest of the APP_INIT_DATA data. lib/ app_ipc.C,h Charlie 16 June 2005 - Replace Mac BOINCManager icons with new ones contributed by Juho Viitasalo client/ mac/ BOINCMgr.icns David 16 June 2005 - use memcpy() in APP_INIT_DATA::copy() lib/ app_ipc.C Rom 16 June 2005 - Modify Account Manager interface two incorporate an additional dialog. There is now a dialog for when you have already signed up with an account manager, and one for when you need to provide account manager informaton. Modifing the dialogs should happen from MainFrame.cpp since the Dlg* files are autogenerated by DialogBlocks. - Apparently, some languages do not like time to be dual purposed, so change time to elapsed time for transfers. clientgui/ BOINCGUI.pjd DlgAccountManager.cpp, .h (Removed) DlgAccountManagerSignup.cpp, .h (Added) DlgAccountManagerSStatus.cpp, .h (Added) Events.h MainFrame.cpp, .h ViewTransfers.cpp David 16 June 2005 - validate account manager URL before trying to do RPC - generate MSG_ALERT messages for account manager RPCs (success or failure). client/ acct_mgr.C David 17 June 2005 - scheduler: handle_msgs_from_host(): if insert into msgs_from_host table fails, don't acknowledge messages (from Ian Hay) sched/ handle_request.C David 17 June 2005 - BOINC manager: get rid of CMainDocument::IsAccountManagerFound() etc. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp,h MainFrame.cpp David 17 June 2005 - Run CPU on the same # of CPUs that BOINC will use, reflecting global preferences. (from Glenn Dill) client/ cs_benchmark.C cs_scheduler.C Rom 17 June 2005 - Per community request, after verifing that the _CrtMemBlockHeader structure is the same in VS 2005 I've adjusted stackwalkers requirements so that BOINC can be built with VS 2005. lib/ stackwalker.h Charlie 18 June 2005 - Fix XCode project to use gcc 3.3 compiler for bnackward compatibility with systems 10.3.0 through 10.3.8 as well as 10.3.9 and later. - Use pre-built special config.h for Macintosh (don't require running autoconf.) - Modify version.h so PACKAGE_STRING is defined for Mac as well as Windows. make this chaneg iin version.h.in so it will be retained when version.h is rebuilt by configure process. clientgui/ mac/ config.h (added) version.h version.h.in David 18 June 2005 - CLIENT_STATE::set_scheduler_modes(): Remove EDF simulation. Instead, simulate weighted round-robin, and if a deadline is missed, use EDF - Remove PROJECT::exp_avg_cpu, PROJECT::exp_avg_mod_time. This was an attempt, introduced a while back but never used, to improve estimates of result CPU time. It's fatally flawed because it assumes all results from a project are the same #FLOPs. It will soon be replaced by a better mechanism. client/ client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C David 18 June 2005 - Add a per-project "duration correction factor" used to scale the estimated CPU time of a result. This should improve the accuracy of predictions of how much CPU time results will take, which should improve the effectiveness of the CPU scheduling and work fetch policies, and will also cause schedulers to send more appropriate amounts of work (once we modify the scheduler) (from John McLeod) client/ client_types.C,h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C David 18 June 2005 - don't let cpu_efficiency become negative.

This version (CLIENT_STATE::rr_misses_deadline()) models the fact that when all the work for a project is finished, the fractional resource share of other runnable projects increases. So, e.g., a few short results and one long one, which almost saturates the CPU, is feasible. client/ client_state.h client_types.h cs_apps.C cs_scheduler.C David 21 June 2005 - Account management: move responsibility for the acct_mgr_url.xml and acct_mgr_login.xml files from the manager to the core client. Do this because only the core client knows when an account manager RPC has succeeded; unless this happens, these files should not be changed. Add new type ACCT_MGR_INFO to core client (member of CLIENT_STATE). Read files on startup. When acct manager RPC succeeds, write files. - Add new GUI RPC for getting acct manager info - Manager: for "Manage Accounts", get account manager info via RPC, then decide what dialogs to put up. - Message types (replace MSG_ALERT): MSG_ALERT_ERROR shows an error alert MSG_ALERT_INFO shows an info alert - Show on info alert when acct mgr RPC succeeds - Manager: get rid of CMainDocument::UpdateAccountManagerAccounts() (???) client/ acct_mgr.C,h client_msgs.h client_state.C,h cs_account.C file_names.h gui_rpc_server.C main.C clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp,h MainFrame.cpp lib/ acct_mgr_client.C,h (removed) gui_rpc_client.C,h win_build/ BOINCGUI.vcproj David 21 June 2005 - GUI principle for manager: For any user action that can potentially fail (project attach, acct mgr update) ALWAYS show an alert when the action is finished. E.g. show "Attach succeeded" if an attach succeeds. Don't require users to look in Messages for outcome. - Add a "show_alerts" argument to add_project(). Says whether to show alert when attach succeeds or fails. True for attaches via GUI, false for others (e.g. account manager attaches) - SCHEDULER_OP::backoff(): if account is tentative, call attach_failed(). client/ acct_mgr.C client_state.h client_types.h cs_account.C cs_cmdline.C gui_rpc_server.C scheduler_op.C clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp David 21 June 2005 - Unix compile fixes client/ main.C clientgui/ Makefile.am lib/ Makefile.am David 21 June 2005 - Manager: don't reenter message-display code (else can show same msg or alert twice) clientgui/ MainWindow.cpp David 21 June 2005 - scheduler: when handling results, if any of them fails the sanity checks (e.g. it was already returned) then don't update the transition time of the corresponding WU db/ boinc_db.C sched/ handle_request.C David 21 June 2005 - core client: round-robin simulator wasn't excluding non-CPU-intensive projects (from John McLeod) - scheduler: comment out transaction stuff.

NOTE: wait to get false twice (with a few seconds delay) before closing a connection network_available() tells the CC that a connection is available, and that it should do all the network activity it can. These are relevant only on Windows. Implementation: - CLIENT_STATE has a new member, bool want_network_flag. If the CC tries to create a network connection and there's no physical connection, it sets this. - network_query() return true is want_network_flag is set or there an HTTP_OP. - network_available() resets all backoff timers (of PERS_FILE_XFERs and PROJECTs) to zero, so everything will be retried immediately. client/ client_state.C,h gui_rpc_server.C http.C,h net_xfer.C lib/ gui_rpc_client.C,h network.C David 23 June 2005 - server: handle the new fields "cpu_efficiency": for each wall-clock second that a BOINC app runs, how much CPU time does it get? "duration_correction_factor": ratio between actual CPU time and FLOPs-based estimate. 1) parse them in scheduler request 2) store them in DB host record 3) use them in estimating result duration - show fields in web page for host NOTE: this change requires a database update.

The core client stores them in the RESULT and sends them to server - scheduling server: assign claimed credit based on fpops_per_cpu_sec or fpops_cumulative if present - remove compile warnings api/ boinc_api.C,h client/ acct_mgr.C client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_apps.C gui_rpc_server.C db/ boinc_db.h doc/ api.php sched/ handle_request.C sched_shmem.C server_types.C David 24 June 2005 - attempt to fix bug on multiprocessors running Red Hat 9 (and maybe others) where shared-memory segment names were all returning -1 (and multiple tasks where using same seg!!). The problem: we were using the path of the init data file to generate the key (using ftok) but doing this before creating the file. client/ app_start.C Rom 24 June 2005 - Initial checkin of Dial-up connection support for service and shared install states. Prompting for connect/disconnect requests is now handled in the manager instead of the CC so the CC won't lock up when configured to confirm before connect. When multiple ISP's are detected but none are defined as the default another dialog will appear giving you a choice as to which ISP to use. If the manager is hidden then the taskbar will display a balloon stating that BOINC needs to connect and by opening the BOINC manager you'll be able to connect up and update all projects. - Added an 'Update All' button to the projects tab. - More manager code clean-up - Make alerts show up as a balloon if the manager is hidden. Model dialogs can be annoying when your typing an email or document and it pops up right in front of the document. What is even worse is if you are typing and dismiss the dialog before you have even had a chance to look at it. The balloons show up in the lower right hand corner and automatically go away after 5 seconds or so. - If alerts already exist in the message queue when you connect up to a remote computer, ignore them. client/ net_xfer.C clientgui/ BOINCBaseView.cpp BOINCGUIApp.h BOINCTaskBar.h Events.h MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h ViewProjects.cpp, .h ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp David 24 June 2005 - Bug fix in round-robin simulator: If N is the # of CPUs, and a project has M < N runnable results, its per_cpu_proc_rate should be scaled by N/M. (Thanks to John McLeod for identifying this error) client/ cs_scheduler.C David 24 June 2005 - Doh! My checkin earlier today for the Red Hat 9 problem was wrong, and screwed things up on all platforms. Fixed now, and the Red Hat problem fixed a different way client/ app_start.C win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp David 24 June 2005 - API library: potential bug: if the core client sends a "quit" message that is handled (by the timer handler) while the worker thread is in the middle of checkpointing, the result could be an incomplete checkpoint, which in general screws up the result. Same problem exists if the app exits due to no CC heartbeat while a checkpoint is in progress. Solution: if boinc_time_to_checkpoint() returns true, it sets a flag (checkpointing) that suppresses the handling of process control messages and the checking of heartbeat timeout. boinc_checkpoint_completed() clears the flag. One consequence of this design: if boinc_time_to_checkpoint() returns true, you HAVE to checkpoint immediately. So don't call boinc_time_to_checkpoint() unless you're prepared to checkpoint. api/ boinc_api.C David 25 June 2005 - scheduler: skip over <other_results>, <in_progress_results> elements without log message - API: don't use perror() for pthread errors api/ boinc_api.C sched/ server_types.C David 25 June 2005 - Fix to PROJECT::set_rrsim_proc_rate() (problem identified by John McLeod) client/ cs_scheduler.C David 25 June 2005 - add an exit_status parameter to ACTIVE_TASK::abort_task.

(from Rattledagger) Note: this assumes that applications never use >1 CPU for non-graphical computation. Currently this is the case, but if it changes we need to rethink this check. db/ boinc_db.C,h sched/ handle_request.C David 26 June 2005 - bug fix for the above sched/ handle_request.C David 26 June 2005 - trigger transitioner when cancel WU, to set file delete client/ file_names.C html/ops cancel_wu_action.php Bruce 27 June 2005 - when using locality scheduler, have transitioner or backend lib advertise data file when new result is created. - code organization: create new lib function boinc_touch_file() from code that was in locality scheduler module. lib/ filesys.C filesys.h tools/ backend_lib.C sched/ transitioner.C sched_locality.C David 27 June 2005 - fix bug in Manager message display (can end up showing alerts over and over) - acct mgr: remove HTTP_OP from set when op finishes client/ acct_mgr.C clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp David 27 June 2005 - added new function escape_mysql_like_pattern(const char* in, char* out); if you're going to use a "like X" clause, call this function to escape the non-wildcard part of X. If it contains wildcard chars (%, _) this will put two (2) backslashes before each one, so that they don't get treated as wildcards - use the above function in sched_locality.C so that filename chars and our own __ separators don't get treated as wildcards - core client: when looking for account files, skip directories client/ cs_account.C db/ db_base.C,h sched/ sched_locality.C Charlie 28 June 2005 Mac: Adapt code from Bernd Machenschalk to allow science apps to display application icons in Dock (when displaying graphics) and in Finder.

Also: block SIGALRM in graphics thread. We weren't doing this before, which could have caused CPU time reporting errors. NOTE: this may break things on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. To remedy, uncomment the #define USE_TIMER_THREAD api/ boinc_api.C graphics_impl.C David 5 July 2005 - scheduler: in estimating result duration, don't divide by resource share fraction.

Closing window hides Manager application, opening window (from menubar icon menu or from Dock menu) Shows application. Hiding or showing application closes or opens window. This eliminates having just the manager's menu bar pop up when a foreground application quits. Disable all application-specific menu items in Dock menu and menubar icon menu when a modal dialog is active. This matches the disabling of items in the Manager's regular menus.

But this delayed reissuing of new results. For example if two results were issued a hours 17 and 18, and both timed out (no reply). At time 17+deadline the first would time out and a new result would be issued. But then instead of setting the transition time to 18+deadline it would be set to 18+deadline+1 day. To prevent thrashing I have fixed this so that if a transition time is in the past, I advance it by TWICE the amount it is late, but never less than 1 minute or more than 1 day. - Ops pages: show unsent/in-progress results in purple. For unsent results show create time rather than deadline. sched/ transitioner.C html/ inc/ db_ops.inc if old results were both issued Rom 14 July 2005 - Not all Windows machines support balloons, so if the manager is running on a machine that does not support balloons display a message box instead. - Display additional network control options on the taskbar menu. clientgui/ BOINCTaskBar.cpp MainFrame.cpp Rom 14 July 2005 (boinc_public) - Tag for 4.71 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_71 David 17 July 2005 - changed the semantics of "-one_pass" in the daemons Old: do one enumeration (typically 1000 items), then exit New: process items until an enumeration returns empty, then exit.

Add a "Run Script" Phase to builds of BOINCManager and Core Client in XCode project. This creates a subdirectory named SymbolTables under the build directory, and copies the BOINCManager and Core Client executables there before they are stripped of symbols. This is useful for analyzing crash reports from the field. We can use the atos command line utility and these symbol files to convert addresses from the stack frames to symbols and line numbers in source files. clientgui/ stdwx.h mac/ MacGUI.pch mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj David 19 July 2005 - bug fix in zip code (from Carl C.) zip/ boinc_zip.cpp David 19 July 2005 - API: support for RGB files (from Tolu) api/ Makefile.am gutil.C,h texture.C,h (new) David 20 July 2005 - db_dump: write nusers, nhosts, nteams, total credit in tables.xml file sched/ db_dump.C David 20 July 2005 - commented out some test code from upper_case.C This seemed to break test_uc.py - compile fix in zip apps/ upper_case.C lib/ parse.C zip/ boinc_zip.cpp David 20 July 2005 - hosts_user.php: userid arg is present AND have cookie for user, treat as if logged in html/user/ hosts_user.php Bruce 21 July 2005 - Sort users list of hosts by last rpc time received and add a corresponding table column.

The wxWidget documentation and sample are kinda stale and lead you believe that you have to define proxies for the various controls, but in fact you can enable the context help system in combination with the normal window name/title scheme and skip the proxy creation.

Apparently this is needed for HPUX. We did this before (Mar 31 2005) and immediately backed it out, so it's likely to break some other platform. lib/ shmem.C Rom 21 July 2005 - Update the templates for the dialogs that DialogBlocks uses to maintain the various dialogs with by removing the resizing flag and close box flag.

This avoid specious heartbeat timeout when user resets system clock. It should also fix problem where BOINC restarts after hibernation, app runs before core client, and it gets heartbeat timeout. - Core client: add "-no_gui_rpc" cmdline option. If present, don't create listening socket for GUI RPC. (Useful if bind() doesn't work). - shared memory: in shmget() mode, first try 0666; if that fails, try SHM_R|SHM_W This is just paranoia, in case 21/July checkin breaks some platform. api/ boinc_api.C client/ client_state.C,h cs_cmdline.C gui_rpc_server.C,h lib/ shmem.C Janus 23 July 2005 - API: Compile error in the previous checkin due to undefined variable interrupt_time.

Problem is that reply.wreq.core_client_version was only being set in send_work(), which was too late for the resend_lost_work() part of the code. You might want to move all the initialization of reply.wreq out of send_work(). The core client version is needed to see if the app is compatible with it when calling get_app_version(). (2) In retransmitting lost work, do NOT set the deadline to new values. Else the result will never time out! But DO reset the sent_time, to indicate that result was resent. - transitioner: In the transitioner, make the next WU transition time be the min of deadlines of the in progress results, NOT the min of the sent_time+delay bound. Unless a project wants to do dynamic adjustment of delay bounds for in progress results this should be OK. CPDN people: I don't think this does any harm for trickles but you might want to give it a quick look to be 100% sure. sched/ sched_send.C transitioner.C Bruce 29 July 2005 - scheduler: don't resend a result to a host if any of the following is true: [1] WU error flag set [2] WU already has canonical result [3] (report_deadline - current_time) < 25% of WU delay bound If any of these conditions is true, set the report deadline to the current time and set the WU transition time to the current time.

If this switch is enabled on the command line, then periodically (once per hour) removes any files in the upload/ directory that are older than the oldest WU in the database. These files are created when BOINC clients return work really late after the deadline -- so late that the corresponding WU has been deleted from the database. About half the results in the E@H upload/ directory were of this form. The 'find' command is used to locate such files. This is potentially a dangerous operation since if we find then delete the wrong file(s) all hell could break lose on the server. So a lot of 'paranoia and sanity checking' is done before unlink(path) is called, and we bail out at the first sign of something odd. sched/ file_deleter.C Rom 8 Aug 2005 - Fix build breaks and reenable the lookup website code with a changed prototype. - Figured out how to automatically advance from one wizard page to the next.

This will allow the client to use HTTPS for any purpose (main page, scheduler URL, file upload/download), and it will eventually eliminate the funky/complex HTTP and proxy code in the core client.

We had previously waffled between using a signal handler and using a timer thread. Each has a fatal flaw: you can't do sprintf() (or pretty much anything else) from an asynch signal handler, and suspend and CPU time reporting don't work if you use a thread. The new design uses both a signal handler and a thread! The signal handler does the bare minimum - calling getrusage() and sleep() - and the timer thread does the message sending and receiving (using sprintf() etc.) (from Bruce Allen) api/ boinc_api.C Rom 11 Aug 2005 - Fix the remaining cancel bugs.

Short enums were resulting in rapid fire queries which robbed DB capacity from other functions. db/ boinc_db.C boinc_db.h sched/ transitioner.C file_deleter.C db_purge.C David 11 Aug 2005 - when parsing state file, make sure no two ACTIVE_TASKs have same value of slot. client/ app.C David 12 Aug 2005 - compile fixes for Curl.

The autoconf/automake framework now works again to build client and clientgui. - one fix was to modify configure.ac so that HOSTTYPE now gets set to apple-powerpc-darwin rather than (say) apple-powerpc-darwin7.9. Without this the core client reports back a platform version that the server does not understand. - fix client gui now gives 'aborted by user' error message in the work pane. configure.ac client/ Makefile.am clientgui/ Makefile.am BOINCGUIApp.h ViewWork.cpp David 14 Aug 2005 - Don't do scheduler RPC to send trickle-up message if network comm is suspended.

The InfoZip has a define "USE_ZLIB" which will take into account that you have zlib available. Since that is the de-facto boinc (i.e. we're all using zlib now) then boinc_zip can reflect this; and I have updated the necessary files.

Some users only crunch one week per month but they may have large enough farms to actually get to the top list... And it didnt work right with the caching mechanism because they may become inactive while still being in the cache. - Added "translatability" to the top teams page and a title item to the english language file. - The start_team_table() function should also remember the team type when linking to sorting by total/expavg credit. /html /user top_teams.php top_users.php /inc team.inc /languages /translations en.po David 16 Aug 2005 - Fixed bug that caused partly downloaded files to be treated as errors on retry. PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer(): if verify_file() returns error, set file status to FILE_NOT_PRESENT (i.e. clear the error flag set by verify_file()) - Fixed some bugs in curl code that caused busy loop (100% CPU) while transferring files client/ http_curl.C net_xfer_curl.C pers_file_xfer.C Rom 16 Aug 2005 - Keep the wizard from attempting to attach to a project when the account create or lookup fails for some reason. clientgui/ WizAttachProject.cpp, .h David 16 Aug 2005 - core client: use of libcurl is now default on Unix NOTE: curl version 7.14.0 or higher is recommended. 7.10 does not work. Install it in /usr, not /usr/local - core client: change the polling structure for lower latency for GUI RPCs and higher throughput for file xfers. Polling for non-time-critical changes is done in CLIENT_STATE::poll_slow_events(), which is called once per second (and repeatedly, if anything changes). All I/O activites are done in CLIENT_STATE::do_io_or_sleep(x), which returns after about x seconds, doing as much I/O as it can in the process. It does a select() across all descriptors (GUI RPC and HTTP) and this is the only form of sleep that it does. Change to the GUI_RPC and NET_XFER layers: instead of a poll() function, they now export get_fdset(): returns the set of descriptors in use got_select(): does I/O based on a set of active descriptors client/ Makefile.am client_state.C,h gui_rpc_server.C,h main.C net_xfer_curl.C,h lib/ network.h sched/ handle_request.C David 16 Aug 2005 - bug fixes to the above.

This is to make project attach go as fast as possible. client/ client_state.C,h cs_account.C cs_scheduler.C scheduler_op.C David 17 Aug 2005 - Add new API calls: boinc_not_using_cpu() boinc_using_cpu() for apps that temporarily stop using the CPU (e.g. while doing network comm). Allows other apps to use CPU; treats app as if it were from a non-CPU-intensive project. Implementation: add non_cpu_intensive flag to ACTIVE_TASK. Copy from project initially. Use this instead of project.non_cpu_intensive for scheduling. Use app_state message channel to convey non_cpu_intensive status from app to core client. (for Folding@Home) api/ boinc_api.C,h client/ app.C,h app_control.C cs_apps.C scheduler_op.C lib/ app_ipc.h David 17 Aug 2005 - Add new API calls: boinc_need_network() boinc_network_poll() boinc_network_done() For apps that do network communication. If there is no physical connection (e.g. modem not dialed) this allows the app 1) to request (via the core client and the BOINC manager) that the user establish a connection; 2) to learn when a connection has been established 3) to indicate that it is done with network comm (e.g. so we can hang up the modem) Implementation: Add want_network, have_network flags in API lib. Send want_network in app_status messages to core. Core: on network_available(), send <network_available/> to any app that wants network.

Change had also propagated to graphics_impl_lib.C. api/ boinc_api.C graphics_impl_lib.C David 9 Sept 2005 - validator: when find a canonical result, trigger the assimilator but do NOT trigger the transitioner; doing so creates a race condition. (from Bruce Allen) Example race condition (time ordered): transitioner [reads wu.assimilate_state==READY] ...(swapped out by process scheduler) assimilator [reads wu.assimilate_state==READY] does assimilation [write wu.transition_time=NOW] [write wu.assimilate_state=DONE] transitioner ...(swapped back in by process scheduler) [writes wu.transition_time=MAX_INT] Final effect is wu.assimilate_state==DONE wu.file_delete_state==INIT wu.transition_time=MAX_INT This is wrong: one should have wu.transition_time=NOW else the WU will never change to file_delete_state=READY. sched/ validator.C Bruce 10 Sept 2005 - user profiles: do NOT display pictures in Gallery where admin has rejected profile. Janus, I don't know if this is complete enough to prevent rejected pictures from EVER being shown. Do you? html/ inc/ gallery.inc David 10 Sept 2005 - Server: don't require that app versions have same major version as scheduler code sched/ sched_shmem.C Bruce 10 Sept 2005 - Web pages. To control the posting of offensive pictures, do not display any user profile pictures until they have been verified by project admin. When user enters or modifies picture, only they can see if. If not yet verified, they will see a message saying that other users can't see it until it has been verified by the project. If admins have rejected it, user will see a message saying that they must replace their picture or no one but themselves can see it. - The only known side effect of this is that selection of UOTD is now done slightly differently by the uotd.inc functions. Previously the only profiles with verification=1 were those with credit, so UOTD was selected from those. Now there are profiles of users with zero credit that have verification=1. So script that selects UOTD now does a table join to restrict profile searches to those of users with credit only. html/ inc/ profile.inc uotd.inc ops/ profile_screen_form.php Bruce 10 Sept 2005 - transitioner was doing incorrect log accounting for OVER results. sched/ transitioner.C Janus 11 Sept 2005 - (Rob) Cleanup of forum search action file + moderated posts no longer show up in the result listings. - Added translation tokens for this page - Changed page_head() to include a meta tag for CHARSET (if defined) for buggy IE 5.5 browsers that autodetect the charset to UTF7 (not 8) adding an extra +AF8- whereever underscore is used in links.

Else if the hardwired standard delay in the client is smaller than min_sendwork_interval, the client will keep getting connections refused at the server side. David, please give this a glance. - Logging: to help resolve future race conditions etc, I have modified the logging functions to print fractional seconds down to hundred microsecond precision. I think the only place that these logging functions are used is in the server back-end code and in error logging on the client side, where this should be OK. Rom, David, Charlie, if you are unhappy with client side effects, I'm sure there is a way to do this that only affects server side logging. sched/ server_types.C lib/ util.C util.h msg_log.C Charlie 13 Sept 2005 - Mac: Change macintosh libe endings to UNIX line endings. mac-installer/ LoginItemAPI.C, h Rom 14 Sept 2005 - Update to account management. - Override system defaults and specify timeouts for network transfers, network connections, and network speed. client/ http_curl.C clientgui/ DlgAccountManagerSignup.cpp, .h (Removed) WizAttachAccountManager.cpp, .h WizAttachProject.cpp lib/ gui_rpc_client.h gui_rpc_client_ops.C David 14 Sept 2005 - The acct_mgr_rpc() GUI RPC now has a corresponding acct_mgr_rpc_poll() GUI RPC. The BOINC manager should use this to find out when the RPC has finished, and whether it succeeded. NOTE: this eliminates the use of MSG_ALERT_ERROR and MSG_ALERT_INFO message types. We can take this code out of the Manager now. client/ acct_mgr.C,h gui_rpc_server_ops.C lib/ gui_rpc_client.h gui_rpc_client_ops.C Bruce 14 Sept 2005 - Backend: To prevent possible namespace confusion in the future, changed the name of elapsed_time() to elapsed_wallclock_time(). - Backend logging statements on exit() which echo elapsed run time to logs now do this with much higher printed precision. - Backend logging, separate scheduler requests with an almost blank line - Scheduler: when host does not have enough memory, message to this effect now contains information about how many more bytes of memory are needed. sched/ file_upload_handler.C main.C sched_send.C sched_util.h sched_util.C Rom 16 Sept 2005 (from Walt Gribben) - Letting the OS cleanup instead of shutting things down ourselves is a bad idea, begin the process of cleaning up when shuting down so that things don't disappear in random places. Basically the OS would free the heap before the graphics thread had shutdown when the machine was under load, this causes C0000005 errors since the pointers no longer point to memory that we own. api/ boinc_api.C graphics_api.C, .h graphics_impl.C, .h windows_opengl.C win_build/ libboincapi.vcproj Rom 16 Sept 2005 (from Walt Gribben) - Use the client area of the window instead of the window size when drawing graphics on Windows. api/ windows_opengl.C David 17 Sept 2005 - include math.h and not ieeefp.h in parse.C lib/ parse.C Charlie 19 Sept 2005 - Mac: Add backtrace to stderr after crashes. - Update XCode project for added and deleted souce files. - Make pipes more reliable by handling EINTR error from fgets. api/ mac_icon.C clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp mac/ mac_saver_module.cpp lib/ diagnostics.C mac_backtrace.C, .h (new) mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj mac-installer/ PostInstall.cpp David 19 Sept 2005 - restore include of ieeefp.h (for Solaris) lib/ parse.C David 19 Sept 2005 - added script (from Janus Kristensen) to convert HTML to BBCode. Currently just does forums.

This required determining the correct offset within sigtramp's stack frame of the pointer to the next stack frame; this varies among major versions of the macintosh OS. I'm confident I have the correct value for OS 10.3, but three different offsets all contained the correct value in my tests on OS 10.4, so I'm less confident there. lib/ mac_backtrace.C, .h Matt 20 Sept 2005 - added new file server_status.php to html/user which is a generic server status page, which can be run as a regular php page or as a standalone program (which can output static .html as well as .xml). Instructions for use are in the comments at the top. - fixed the function parse_element so that it returns *all* the text between open/close tags, not just the text between the opening tag and the next "<" sign. - made a new function parse_next_element which gives the user a cursor so that they can iterate through multiple similar tags (like <daemon>). html/user/ server_status.php html/inc/ util.inc David 20 Sept 2005 - code cleanup html/ inc/ forum.inc ops/ bbcode_convert.php Rom 20 Sept 2005 (staging) - Tag for 5.1.4 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_5.1.4 David 20 Sept 2005 - various fixes to bbcode_convert.php.

Note: there may already be suspended apps in memory, so killing running apps is pointless. - remove site-specific lines from _autosetup _autosetup client/ cs_prefs.C David 21 Sept 2005 - feeder: add an -allapps option. This causes the feeder to get equal numbers of results from all applications. (The default behavior is that it gets results in whatever order the DB returns them in, which could give you lots of results for 1 app before getting around to another one). (from Carl Christensen) NOTE: this enumerates the application table every time the work enumeration restarts - redundant. It would be better to pass in the application info from the feeder (which knows it already, it's in shared mem) db/ boinc_db.C,h sched/ feeder.C Rom 21 Sept 2005 - check-in core client support for project_init.xml - delete project_init.xml if we detach from that project - add the notion of cached credentials to acct_mgr_rpc and project_attach so that way we don't put any username and password stuff over the wire for remote core clients - disable boinc_shutdown_graphics() until the design can be finalized - adjust the boinc manager menus a bit api/ boinc_api.C client/ acct_mgr.C acct_setup.C, .h client_state.C, .h file_names.h gui_rpc_server_ops.C clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp lib/ gui_rpc_client.h gui_rpc_client_ops.C David 22 Sept 2005 - bug fix: the GUI RPCs for network mode were missing the AUTO case client/ gui_rpc_server_ops.C David 22 Sept 2005 - we were assuming that if a scheduler RPC reply didn't have a user ID, it must be because of a bad account key.

This gets called in boinc_exit(). Got rid of boinc_shutdown_graphics_impl(), boinc_shutdown_options_graphics_impl(), boinc_shutdown_graphics(). Let's try to keep it simple.

A subsequesnt change will be to remove any now unneccessary calls to boinc_file_exists().

Old: separate backoff for each file. Suppose a client has 10 results from a project, each with 5 input files, and server is down. It will try all 50 downloads, they all back off a minute, it tries all 50 again, etc. This is bad, especially if the download server is up but overloaded. New: maintain per-project backoff parameters as well (separate for upload/download directions). If a project gets 3 consecutive UL or DL failures, it goes into a random-exponential-length period of "project backoff" during which no transfers are started. During this period, individual file backoffs continue to accumulate, so that retries will be widely spread out when the client emerges from project backoff (this is a kludge, and hard to understand, but I can't think of a simpler way off the top of my head) From John F. Hall client/ client_types.C,h pers_file_xfer.C,h David 30 Sept 2005 - A refinement of the above: if the user manually retries a file transfer, exit project-level backoff mode (suggested by John F.

Karl, I think the broken print statement was introduced between rev 1.41 and rev 1.42. sched/ file_upload_handler.C David 4 October 2005 - Fix problems with disk space management code, which can cause - violation of user disk usage prefs - server sends clients lots of results even though client has zero free disk space, and results will immediately error out. OLD: client: scheduler requests include disk space info (d_total and d_free), but they're the values at client startup, which may be way out of date! (e.g. free space may now be zero) server: Expected <total_disk_usage> in request message. This was removed a long time ago. The formula for computing max additional disk usage was wrong. NEW: client: scheduler requests includes - up-to-date values for d_total and d_free - up-to-date values for BOINC and project disk usage: <d_boinc_used_total>, <d_boinc_used_project> server: Parse new scheduler request fields. If new fields are present, calculate max additional disk usage based on them. - Change to scheduler RPC requests: OLD: <resource_share_fraction> is sent, but it's actually potentially runnable resource share fraction. (Didn't matter; it's not currently used by server) NEW: <resource_share_fraction> (total resource share fraction) <rrs_fraction> (runnable resource share fraction) <prrs_fraction> (potentially runnable resource share fraction) ... are all sent. Future versions of the server may use them for disk and/or CPU allocation> - Commented out or deleted some unused code, e.g. all references to p_fpop_err, p_iop_err, p_membw_err NOTES: 1) If old client talks to new server, only the "min free" preference will be enforced. 2) If old or new client talks to old server, no preferences are reliably enforced 3) If new client talks to new server, all preferences are enforced, BUT project resource shares are not enforced. E.g. one project might hog all the disk space even though it's resource share is small and other projects need space.

Old: by default, core client doesn't create a password file (gui_rpc_auth.cfg). Therefore any process on the local host can connect to it; even processes belonging to other users. So if user X is running BOINC, evil user Y can use GUI RPCs to attach BOINC to a rogue project, causing bad code to run as user X. New: on startup, if the core client doesn't find a password file, it creates one, writes a long random string to it, and (on Unix) makes it user-read/write only. The BOINC Manager, when connecting to the local host, looks for a password file in the current directory. Bottom line: a user running BOINC is now protected against other users on the same host. NOTE: this could cause some angst for Mac users, if they expect things to work the same for all users. client/ gui_rpc_server.C clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp David 16 Oct 2005 - User web: fix bug that caused very few profiles to appear in user profile "Photo Gallery" - User web: fix bug that caused nav-bar links in profile pages to be broken links Note: this required adding an optional 2nd "prefix" argument to the project-supplied "project_banner()" and "project_footer()" functions.

Projects should set this to the fraction of their arithmetic operations that are floating-point. I also checked in a script, credit_study.php, that samples various values for fp_benchmark_weight and computes the variance in claimed credit that each one produces (based on results currently in the DB). Use the lowest one. html/ops/ credit_study.php sched/ handle_request.C sched_config.C,h David 1 Nov 2005 - Addendum to yesterday's checkin. It turns out that, on average, the int benchmark is twice the FP benchmark. So if a project were to set its fp_benchmark_weight to 1, the average credit per CPU second would decrease by 1/3. Similarly it would increase if fp_benchmark_weight were 0. To fix this, I added a scaling factor that maintains a constant average credit per CPU second (the same average as the current 50/50 weighting) regardless of fp_benchmark_weight. - relax Curl timeout parameters; apparently some users going through proxies were geting consistent timeout. client/ http_curl.C sched/ handle_request.C Charlie 1 Nov 2005 - Mac: Augment David's security change of 13 Oct for BOINC Manager. Because Manager has set-uid bit, it always runs with owner as effective user, so any logged-in user could attach to a rogue project using BOINC Manager. If logged-in user is not owner, we now invokes Mac OS's authorization dialog to requires administrator password to attach to projects. The Mac OS automatically localizes this dialog for us. clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp Mac_GUI.cpp (new) MacGUI.pch mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj Rom 2 Nov 2005 - Catch exceptions thrown by the STL library when vectors may not contain the requested data.

This allows for far more flexibility when defining a custom layout and colourscheme for the forums. You should even be able to use nice background images for the bars etc. Theoretically all or most layout information should be outside the HTML instead of hardcoded into it... - Fixed an issue where sometimes the bottom options displayed for each post would move up into the post (when not enough text was present). The text is now centered instead and the bottom options stays where they are. - Fixed an issue with some foreign characters being turned into random gibberish in the forums (htmlentities() turned into html_special_chars()) - Added support for only displaying the last Y posts when there are more than X posts in a thread (for low-bandwidth users) - Added a way to configure the above X and Y (through forum prefs) - Added the needed DB update query to db_update in ops. html/ ops/ db_update.php inc/ forum.inc text_transform.inc user/ forum_thread.php white.css edit_forum_preferences_form.php edit_forum_preferences_action.php David 24 Nov 2005 - Manager: improvements to Statistics tab clientgui/ ViewStatistics.cpp David 25 Nov 2005 - Fixed measurements of network bandwidth: - Do measurements only while file transfers are active, not scheduler or other RPCs. Move the up_active and down_active flags from NET_XFER_SET to FILE_XFER_SET. - use a decay of 1 hour instead of 24 - reset delta_t and delta_nbytes after using them client/ client_state.C file_xfer.C,h net_stats.C,h net_xfer_curl.C,h David 25 Nov 2005 - Core client: if we're currently using an account manager (i.e. if we have URL/name/passwd) then automatically make another RPC periodically. The RPC manager reply can specify the interval until the next RPC; the default is 1 day (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/acct_mgt.php) - Account Manager RPC: - add "host_cpid" argument, so the manager knows what host this request is from. - add optional <run_mode> in account manager reply (always/never/auto) - add optional <suspend> element in <account>, so users can suspend/resume projects via acct mgr client/ acct_mgr.C,h client_state.C client_types.h gui_rpc_server_ops.C Rom 25 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: Curses to Windows allowing more than one application to open up a listening socket to a port. Sometimes the manager was being directed to another application instead of BOINC. client/ gui_rpc_server.C, .h Rom 25 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: Somewhere along the lines we broke the automatic swapping of ports and waiting until the timeout period to stop so that people had time to handle the firewall prompts. - Fix the debug and trace macros so that they'll work even for the .C files when included in wxWidget binaries. client/ MainDocument.cpp lib/ diagnostics.h gui_rpc_client.C Rom 26 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: We should not allow either wizard to be executed if the manager is not even connected to the core client. This is probably what was causing the massive number of people hitting the proxy configuration page when either of the other two bugs that were fixed today were hit. - Bug Fix: Adjust the way the transition note is displayed so that the wizard will be able to fit on a 640x480 display. clientgui/ AccountInfoPage.cpp MainFrame.cpp, .h locale/en_US/ BOINC Manager.po BOINC Manager.mo Bruce 26 Nov 2005 - Sched fix from Walt Gribben: have scheduler defaults for disk space prefs agree with web page. Bruce's note: this may require further fixes for two cases. First, if the project prefs are not the same as BOINC defaults. Second, if the user doesn't want BOINC to leave any disk space free and on their web preference page sets 'leave X bytes free' to zero, then this patch will assume they mean 100MB. But I'm still applying the patch 'cause Walt says that this is keeping lots of new users from getting work. sched/ sched_send.C David 26 Nov 2005 - Accound lookup web RPC: accept the account key as password (regardless of value of passwd_hash in database) html/user/ lookup_account.php Rom 26 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: Don't treat various forms of the local computer name as a remote machine. - Bug Fix: When any form of the local computer name is used prepopulate the password field in the select computer dialog. - Bug Fix: On connection failed messages provide an easy way to retry the connection attempt. clientgui/ BOINCTaskBar.cpp DlgSelectComputer.cpp MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h ViewWork.cpp Janus 28 Nov 2005 - Small fix to the Nov 24 checkin so that the user-specified ordering of posts in a thread is taken into consideration when displaying the last X posts. /html/inc forum.inc David 27 Nov 2005 - pass core client version number in account manager RPC client/ acct_mgr.C David 27 Nov 2005 - Manager: more improvements to the Statistics tab (from Mifistor) - Account manager: don't try RPC every second client/ acct_mgr.C clientgui/ Events.h ViewStatistics.cpp,h Rom 28 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: Fix the URL validator so that it won't modify the user specified text when there is an error - Bug Fix: Validation does not occur when the back button is pressed in the wizards - Bug Fix: GUI RPC: Return an error if the authenticator is null - Hitting the cancel button in the wizard only brings up a confirmation dialog, if the user confirms the wizard is terminated instead of forwarding them to the final wizard page. client/ gui_rpc_server_ops.C clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp ValidateURL.cpp WelcomePage.cpp WizardAccountManager.cpp WizardAttachProject.cpp wizardex.cpp Rom 28 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: The manager needs to wait until after the core client has opened up the listening socket before attempting to read the password file. clientgui/ MainDocument.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp Bruce 29 Nov 2005 - Bug fix (from Walt Gribben). Don't allow the min free space preference to be less than 1MB. sched/ sched_send.C Rom 28 Nov 2005 - Bug Fix: Like a Phoenix rise from the ashes, so to the return of the proxy info page for both wizards. clientgui/ AccountManagerPropertiesPage.cpp BOINCWizards.h ProjectPropertiesPage.cpp ProxyInfoPage.cpp, .h (Added) WizardAccountManager.cpp, .h WizardAttachProject.cpp, .h Charlie 29 Nov 2005 - Mac: Add new files clientgui/ProxyInfoPage.cpp, clientgui/ProxyInfoPage.h to XCode project. mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj David 30 Nov 2005 - scheduler, homogeneous redundancy part: if we get a request from a client that's not one of the known CPU/OS combinations, don't sent it work. This will prevent the shared-memory segment from filling up with hard-to-send results (for Predictor@home) - core client: if an app's non_cpu_intensive flag changes value, request a CPU rescheduling (for Folding@home) sched/ sched_array.C sched_hr.C,h sched_send.C server_types.h Eric K. 30 Nov 2005 - minor mods to allow BOINC applications to compile under MINGW. lib/ boinc_win.h diagnostics.C diagnostics.h util.C stackwalker_win.h api/ boinc_gl.h gutil.h David 30 Nov 2005 - core client: add -detach option (Windows).

(from David Goodenough) client/ client_state.C,h cs_cmdline.C main.C Charlie 1 Dec 2005 - Mac XCode project: fix absolute path to Mac_GUI.cpp; fix bug in shell script to run SetVersion when path contains a space. mac_build/ boinc.pbproj/ project.pbxproj David 1 Dec 2005 - core client: skip aborted results in round-robin simulation (from John McLeod) client/ cs_scheduler.C David 1 Dec 2005 - core client: don't make all tasks non-CPU-intensive (from John McLeod) client/ app_control.C David 2 Dec 2005 - A bunch of changes to make the core client work on OS/2 Also a couple of small bug fixes. (from Yuri Dario). Note: this is done using #define __EMX__ (apparently that's a symbol defined in OS/2 compiles). This goes against our convention of using configure, but it looks like OS/2 is sufficiently different (like Windows) so that this is the easiest way to do it. Anyway, changes are fairly limited. api/ boinc_api.C client/ app_start.C gui_rpc_server.C,h hostinfo_unix.C http_curl.C main.C net_xfer_curl.C win/ opt_x86cpu.cpp os2/ (the following are new) COPYING ReadMe.txt boinc.ico boinc.ih boinc.wis boinc1.ico boinc_attach.cmd boinc_client.ico configure.os2 setup.cmd lib/ diagnostics.C filesys.C gui_rpc_client.C shmem.C zip/zip/unix/ Makefile David 2 Dec 2005 - compile fix cliengui/ DlgSelectComputer.cpp David 2 Dec 2005 - compile fix for 64-bit machines lib/ shmem.C Rom 4 Dec 2005 - Bug Fix: Verify we are actually talking with a BOINC core client before declaring a connection successful. client/ gui_rpc_server_ops.C lib/ gui_rpc_client.C, .h gui_rpc_client_ops.C David 4 Dec 2005 - web: Make some text on account-create form translatable - web: when showing list of hosts, don't show hosts idle for > 30 days (but provide a link for showing them) html/ languages/translations/ en.po user/ create_account_form.php hosts_user.php David 4 Dec 2005 - Manager: if a result's project is suspended, show this in work tab - core client: use full BOINC version # in HTTP request header client/ http_curl.C clientgui/ ViewWork.cpp Charlie 5 Dec 2005 Add Mac uninstall instructions to ReadMe and web site. doc/ mac_advanced.php mac_installer/ ReadMe.rtf David 5 Dec 2005 - core client: started to clean up ugly undergrad code related to retry of scheduler RPCs and master file fetches.

To do this, make entries in config.xml. The files both contain comments at the top detailing how to do this. tools/ makelog.sh cleanlogs.sh Makefile.am David 7 Dec 2005 - Manager: improvements to Statistics tab - Account manager RPC: added optional <detach/> element to projects in reply. Lets the account manager tell client to detach from a project. This replaces the previous semantics, where the client detached from any project not in the reply. client/ acct_mgr.C,h clientgui/ ViewStatistics.cpp Eric 8 Dec 2005 - New autoconf macro "BOINC_PLATFORM" to determine the BOINC platform being targeted. This overrides the use of the autoconf target as the BOINC platform. I recommend that people developing BOINC applications use this macro as well in their autoconf scripts. This macro can be overridden with the --with-boinc-platform= option to configure. Some of the platform modifications made in this script are... = *-redhat-* -> *-pc-* = *-*-*[0-9].[0-9] -> *-*-* (trailing version numbers are dropped) = sparc-sun-solaris -> sparc64-sun-solaris when compiled as 64 bit binary = x86_64-*-linux-gnu -> i686-pc-linux-gnu when compiled as a 32 bit binary - New autoconf macro "BOINC_CHECK_CYGWIN" to give people who need to modify their configure script to work with CYGWIN a place to do their work. Right now the only thing done here is to check whether to use the Windows GUI or X11. Graphical compiles under CYGWIN currently do not function due to both __unix__ and _WIN32 being defined. m4/ boinc_platform.m4 boinc_check_cygwin.m4 configure.ac David 8 Dec 2005 - use libcurl's error strings instead of our own. Also, don't use a default error code of 500. Makes it look like there are server crashes when there aren't. client/ acct_mgr.C net_xfer_curl.C David 8 Dec 2005 - Don't request CPU reschedule if a preempted process exits; that's a redundant reschedule - better messages on CPU reschedule client/ app.h app_control.C gui_rpc_server_ops.C David 9 Dec 2005 - Various changes to account manager handling in response to conversation with GridRepublic. Allowing operations (attach/detach/suspend/resume) to be done from either web or GUI creates big synchronization problems. So we adopt the basic principle: suspend/resume is done only from GUI; attach/detach is done only from web. - Account manager RPC is done by POST instead of GET; arguments are now in XML, and include a list of AM-attached projects Note: you can access POST info from PHP as "php://input" - remove suspend-related stuff from acct mgr reply - debug the repeat_sec mechanism. - Maintain project.attached_via_acct_mgr; keeps track of whether this project was originally attached in response to an account manager RPC, or is identical to one such. Don't allow such projects to be detached via GUI. NOTE: if user tries to detach an acct-mgr-attached project, the error message appears in the Messages tab. It should appear as an error dialog. client/ acct_mgr.C,h client_state.h client_types.C,h cs_account.C file_names.h gui_http.C,h gui_rpc_server_ops.C David 9 Dec 2005 - Web: "modem"->"modem, ISDN or VPN" - fix bug in host merge html/ inc/ prefs.inc user/ host_edit_action.php Bruce 10 Dec 2005 - API: when app version number is shown in the title bar of a graphics window, print it in the same format at the client GUI, for example 4.29 rather than existing 429. This is for consistency with line 506 of clientgui/ViewWork.cpp. api/ graphics_impl.C David 12 Dec 2005 - core client: add "-gui_rpc_port" command-line option: specify port number for GUI RPC listening socket. - boinc_cmd: allow hostname specification as host:port - core client: if file size is less than 1 MB, don't bother getting current file size from server (just send whole file from the beginning) - file upload handler: don't bother reading key if we're not going to use it client/ client_state.C,h cs_cmdline.C file_xfer.C gui_rpc_server.C,h lib/ boinc_cmd.C gui_rpc_client.C,h sched/ file_upload_handler.C David 13 Dec 2005 - manager compile fix - a bit of translation stuff html/ inc/ team.inc user.inc languages/translations/ en.po lib/ gui_rpc_client.h David 13 Dec 2005 - Core client: the account manager password is now stored and communicated in a hashed form (hashed with the lower-cased account name) client/ acct_mgr.C,h gui_rpc_server_ops.C Jeff 14 Dec 2005 - Enabled the file_upload_handler to be built as a FastCGI program. sched/ file_upload_handler.C Makefile.am Bruce 14 Dec 2005 - Fix to script that cleans 'user-visible' scheduler logs, to prevent it from inadvertently leaving old files hanging around. tools/ cleanlogs.sh David 15 Dec 2005 - Add a security mechanism that limits the damage if hackers break into an account manager server or do a man-in-the-middle attack. The attack: hackers break into an account manager and modify it so that RPC replies include accounts on malicious projects. The protection: 1) account manager replies now include a "signing key". This is stored on the client in the account manager URL file. 2) If the client has a signing key for an account manager and receives a different one, it ignores it and prints an error message. 3) Each account in an account manager reply includes a "URL signature", which is the URL signed with the signing key. The client ignores any URLs with missing or bad signatures. Note: users who sign up with the account manager after it's hacked are not protected by this (same as for BOINC project code download protection). client/ acct_mgr.C,h lib/ crypt.C,h crypt_prog.C error_numbers.h tools/ process_result_template.C David 15 Dec 2005 - bug fixes for the above client/ acct_mgr.C,h Bruce 15 Dec 2005 - Made 'last scheduler contact' values a link to the posted server-side scheduler logs. On projects that don't post logs, these links will simply give a 'not found' error if the user clicks on them. - On David's request, added the E@H 'server_status.php' page. Note that this is not linked to from the sample project home page. It also contains at least some E@H-specific stuff, but David promised to clean this up (:-). html/ inc/ host.inc user/ server_status.php [NEW FILE ADDED] Eric K 15 Dec 2005 - Added autoconf macro AX_WINSOCK for identifying winsock libs and headers for support of command line compiles. Adds new configure command line option --with-winsock to enable winsock if necessary w here alternative socket libraries (sys/socket.h) exist. - Modified BOINC_CHECK_CYGWIN to call AX_WINSOCK. - Modified boinc_getsockopt.m4 to get correct type when winsock is used. - Modified AX_CHECK_GLUT to find correct libraries when compiling under windows from command line. m4/ ax_check_glut.m4 boinc_check_cygwin.m4 boinc_getsockopt.m4 ax_winsock.m4 [NEW FILE ADDED] configure.ac Bruce 15 Dec 2005 - Restrict list of top hosts to those with > 300 credits. This prevents hosts that have done only one or two WU and have anomalously high RAC values from heading the list. html/ user/ top_hosts.php Bruce 15 Dec 2005 [from Walt Gribben] - Cleanup of parameters that define disk free space requirements. Previously these were spread around in different places. Now these are defined by some config.xml options that are used by PHP pages and by the scheduler code. See a description in doc/configuration.php. doc/ configuration.php html/ inc/ prefs.inc sched/ sched_config.C sched_config.h sched_send.C Bruce 15 Dec 2005 - To address some concerns about security, strip USER # from the online scheduler logs. The only info that appears in these online logs is then the HOSTID. If the user has chosen to hide their hosts, then there is no way to figure out which user a given hostid belongs to. Note that this is exactly the same as the current approach of displaying the results by hostid, but hiding the identity of the user who owns a given host. Also, increase default time for retaining logs to two weeks. tools/ makelog.sh cleanlogs.sh David 17 Dec 2005 - core client: set close-on-exec flag of sockets and files so that they don't get 'leaked' to applications - moved server status page from ops/ to user/ - make_project: copy sample_project_status.php to project_status.php html/ languages/translations/ en.po ops/ server_status.php (moved to user/sample_server_status.php) user/ eah_server_status.php (new; Einstein@home status page) sample_server_status.php (new; see above) sample_status.php (removed) lib/ filesys.C network.C py/Boinc/ setup_project.py David 18 Dec 2005 - compile fix: include config.h where needed lib/ boinc_cmd.C filesys.C shmem.C David 18 Dec 2005 - extend the am_set_info.php RPC to let you change email address and password_hash. html/ inc/ email.inc user/ am_set_info.php edit_email_action.php Rom 19 Dec 2005 - Merge the account manager status dialog into the wizard and remove the account manager status dialog. - Bug Fix: Fix the extra connection validation code in the gui rpc clients. the get_state rpc contained references to the old client_version xml tags which were changed awhile back.

Old: write to a FILE. Return values of printf() not checked - if run out of disk space, not detected. No flushing or synching at end - if power failure or crash, indeterminate result. New: write to a MFILE (memory-buffered file). Changed MFILE::flush() to that it: - checks return value of fwrite() (catch disk-full error) - calls fflush(f) (to write user-level buffer to OS) - calls fsync(fileno(f)) (to flush data from OS to disk) And call MFILE::flush() from MFILE::close(). client/ cs_statefile.C lib/ error_numbers.h mfile.C util.C Charlie 21 Dec 2005 -Mac: upgrade project for latest developer tools: XCode 2.2 and wxMac-2.6.2 will soon be needed for MacIntel support; also upgrade to use curl-7.15.1. Added scripts for building fat (Universal Binary) libraries of wxMac-2.6.2, curl-7.15.1 and jpeg-6b, and a new XCode project bundle boinc.xcodeproj. At this time, I have successfully built the powerpc implementation of BOINC using these tools, but more work needs to be done. mac_build/ boinc.xcodeproj/ (new) project.pbxproj (new) setupForBOINC.sh (new) buildjpeg.sh (new) buildcurl.sh (new) buildWxMac.sh (new) David 22 Dec 2005 - user web: translation fixes html/inc/ user.inc team.inc Bruce 22 Dec 2005 - compile fix to create_work.C - Einstein@Home-specific hack to the locality scheduler. For new WU, I need to separate two types of 'sticky/report on RPC' files. One type is used for WU names of the form FILE__ and the others are auxilliary. David, after I've talked with you I'll either generalize this notion or we can eliminate it. tools/ create_work.C sched/ server_types.h sched_locality.C Rom 22 Dec 2005 - Fix up the File Properties for each application and dll that is going to be included in the GridRepublic client. - Create a GridRepublic solution file. client/win/ boinc_cli.rc boinc_cmd.rc boinc_dll.rc boinc_ss.h boinc_ss.rc win_screensaver.cpp, .h client/win/res/ boinc.bmp clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.rc win_build/ gr_boinc_cli_curl.vcproj gr_boinc_dll.vcproj gr_boinc_ss.vcproj gr_boinccmd.vcproj gr_boincmgr_curl.vcproj GridRepublic.sln David 23 Dec 2005 - user web: single "stay logged in" checkbox on login form html/inc/ util.inC David 23 Dec 2005 - Change the network suspend/resume logic so that the "idle while user active" and "idle if on batteries" preferences are ignored for 5 minutes GUI RPCs. This means that if the user has one of these preferences, and attaches to a project, they'll generally get the initial result download from the project before the network is suspended. Implementing this required a moderate change; bool activities_suspended suspend_activities() resume_activities() (which covered both CPU and network) are replaced by bool tasks_suspended suspend_tasks() resume_tasks() (which covers only CPU) client/ client_state.C,h cs_benchmark.C cs_files.C cs_prefs.C cs_scheduler.C gui_rpc_server.C,h gui_rpc_server_ops.C ss_logic.C David 24 Dec 2005 - amended yesterday's changes so that only user-initiated RPCs (e.g. to attach/detach/suspend/resume a project or result) are counted. Otherwise the preferences would never kick in. client/ gui_rpc_server.C,h gui_rpc_server_ops.C Bruce 26 Dec 2005 - Modified the pages to search users and profiles so that the results display a bit more info about the users (date joined project, country, total credit, RAC).. - Added sort ability on user fields.

Apparently this is needed by some RSS readers. NOTE: for this to take effect, project will need to check out the following files, then rename sample_rss_main.php to rss_main.php html/ inc/ news.inc user/ sample_rss_main.php Bruce 30 Dec 2005 - Nasty bug fix to sched. escape_string() replaces \ by \\ and ' by \'. This makes the string longer. To guarantee that the resulting longer string does not overflow storage, escape_string() uses safe_strncpy() to copy the longer string back. But this is too heavy-handed, since safe_strncpy() will blindly truncate the string. Thus it might clobber \\ into \ or \' into \ which causes trouble. David, Rom, please double-check my changes, since escape_string() is used all over the place. db/ db_base.C
