    - Added missing sys header declaration needed to build libboinc
      on OSX jaguar

    api/
        boinc_api.C

David  5 Jan 2004
    - patch up hole in hosts_user.php that shows hosts
        even when user doesn't want
    - All pages check for project up before opening DB

      as a result of the 2004-01-03 change to filesys.C,h
    client/win
        wingui_mainwindow.cpp

Gary    5 Jan 2004
    - BOINC release 2.17 for windows, linux, solaris, mac os x
      (os x version supports both 10.2 <jaguar> and 10.3 <panther>)

David  6 Jan 2004
    - When showing a user's posts, break into groups of 10
    - Don't show pending credit directly in user page.
        Give a link to a separate page that shows pending results
        and their claimed credit
    - When show list of results, add linked ID column allowing user
        to see details of result (e.g. stderr_out)
    - removed "private" arg for show_host_detail.php.
        If the host belongs to logged-in user, show private info
    - removed alternative sorting options for host lists
        (there was a bug where a user host list
        linked to top_hosts.php)
    - added a couple of "repair" scripts

David  7 Jan 2004
    - don't show #results in 1-line host summary (too slow)
    - totally redid "host merge" mechanism.
        - show all hosts that are compatible with this one
            (not just older ones)
        - show checkboxes with "select all" button
            so you can easily merge large #s of hosts
        - merge logic merges into newest host
    - let anyone look at any result and any host
        (may want to change this later,
        but for now it helps with debuggin)
    - write log message when scheduler creates new host
        because of bad RPC seqno

    - more trickle support:
        - server parses <trickle> elements from RPC request,
            creates trickle records,
            sends <trickle_ack> if it did any
        - client scans project for trickle files,
            adds them to RPC requests
        - if get <trickle_ack> in RPC reply, delete trickle files
        - parse <trickle_ack> in RPC reply
    - use safe_strncpy for shared-mem graphics messages

    - scheduling server: if get invalid hostid,
        look up user before creating new host
         (otherwise will create a host record with userid 0)
    - if get a result that's already been received, ignore it

    sched/
        handle_request.C

David  7 Jan 2004
    - added "host delete" function (if host has zero results)

    html_user/
        host_delete.php (new)

David  8 Jan 2004
    - Fixed bugs that caused WUs to be mistakenly marked COULDNT_SEND:
        - the feeder marks WUs as COULDNT_SEND whenever
            at least 50% of the results have infeasible_count > 20
            (it used to be > 0, i.e. a WU could be marked as COULDNT_SEND
            when it was infeasible for even a single host)
        - Some hosts (Macs) report their memory size (host.m_nbytes)
            as a large negative number.
            Change this so that the min memory size is 64 MB

Gary    8 Jan 2004
    - Fixed problem in windows client where user prefs were
      being ignored at startup as a side-effect of the previous
      initial startup fix. Now initial startup works and user
      prefs are honored at startup.

David  9 Jan 2004
    - on download page, don't tell people to create an account
        if they already are logged in (and hence have an account)
    - print message in CGI log if can't find user
    - don't hyperlink 0 results etc.

    - BOINC how has a project.xml file (by default in the same location as
      config.xml) that can contain database information:
        - projects
        - platforms
        - core versions
        - apps
        - app versions
    - this information used to be added one at a time using the `add'
      command-line tool; now there is a new tool `xadd' available, which
      parses project.xml and adds anything necessary.

    - refactored configxml.py into boincxml.py and configxml.py:
        - boincxml.py contains generic XML utility code
        - configxml.py contains code specific to config.xml and run_state.XML
        - external interface to configxml.py unchanged

    - new projectxml.py that parses and writes project.xml

    - refactored tools/add into tools/add and py/Boinc/add_util.py

    - added new addable fields

Karl 2004-01-12
    - source release 2.18 (no client-visible changes)

David  Jan 12 2004
    - change team account so that team gets (and keeps) credit
        for results of users while they belong to team:
        - add team_id field to result
        - add expavg_time field to team
        - validator increments team credit
        - scheduler fills in result.teamid
    - don't delete empty teams
    - rename result.client_version_num to result.app_version_num
        populate this field based on <app_version> field of stderr_out
    - change update_stats so that it doesn't compute team credit fields,
        and so that it updates expavg fields only if the entity
        has been idle for 4 days or more
    - add DB_BASE::update_field() (to update one or more fields,
        not whole record)
    - add lookup_team() to db.inc
        SHOULD ALWAYS USE FUNCTIONS LIKE THIS INSTEAD OF AD-HOC QUERIES
    - factor out mysql_query() into DB_BASE::do_query()

    - typo in boincxml.py
        (caused "start" script to always set enabled=0
        in run_state file, with various bad consequences)
    - two indentation problems in "start":
        line 499

    - factored base64 declarations

        base64.h (new)

David  Jan 15 2004
    - changed file_upload_handler so that it returns success
        if offset >= nbytes.
        That this happens at all indicates an error in the client,
        but we'll get to that later.
    - Scheduler: if last RPC too recent, show the interval

David  Jan 16 2004
    - released core client 2.18 for Windows

David  Jan 17 2004
    - change logic in windows_opengl.C so that an app has no window
        when it doesn't need one.
        In particular, it has no window when it initially runs,
        so it won't wake up screensaver when an app starts.
        This requires using a window-less timer 
        to poll for messages from core client.

    api/
        windows_opengl.C

David  Jan 17 2004
    - remove win_main.cpp
    - if result exceeds disk, show both usage and limit
    - change title of Attach to Project dialog

        returns an HTML header, regardless of whether
        request message is missing or malformed
    - hyperlink results on pending credit page
    - fix bug in parsing of exit status in result stderr_out

David  Jan 20 2004
    - added basic support for GUI RPCs in the core client.
        This allows GUIs to be implemented in a separate process.
        There can be multiple GUIs looking at the same core client.
        New classes:
            GUI_RPC_CONN: represents a connection to a GUI program
            GUI_RPC_CONN_SET: represents the set of all such connections
                has the usual poll() function.
        This is currently implemented only for UNIX, using UNIX domain sockets.
        Should be straightforward to do in Win using named pipes.
    - The isspace() macro crashes if called with a non-ASCII arg,
        so use it only after isascii()
    - reimplement strip_whitespace() to do the above,
        have it trim at both start and end,
        and make a version for string
    NOTE: the real problem is that user-supplied text is being
        kept in XML elements in the state file.
        Should escape it.

        <get_state/> request that returns the entire state
        (same contents as the client state file)
    - add fraction_done, current_cpu_time to <active_task> output
    - factored out CLIENT_STATE::write_state(FILE*)
        (used for both state file write and GUI RPC)
    - always copy team name from scheduler reply
        (so that we'll learn if user quits team)

    - Fleshed out client-side support for GUI RPCs
        The GUI_RPC class now parses the XML it gets back from
        the <get_state> request, and builds a data structure
        that is more or less a clone of the state of the core client.
        There are still a number of missing pieces,
        e.g. active tasks and file transfers

David  Jan 26 2004
    - server-side support for anonymous platform mechanism
        - struct CLIENT_APP_VERSION represents an app version
            that an anonymous-platform client says it has
        - SCHEDULER_REQUEST has a vector of CLIENT_APP_VERSIONs,
            parsed from request message
        - in scan_work_array(): if anonymous platform,
            instead of checking for an app version in the DB,
            check that the client has an app version with an
            acceptable version#

    NOTE: for this to work you need to add an entry named "anonymous"
    to the platform table

David  Jan 26 2004
    - client-side support for anonymous platform mechanism
        - To use this mechanism, user puts a file "app_info.xml" in a project dir.
            This file contains <app>, <file_info>, and <app_version> elements
            for app versions present in the project dir
            (compiled or manually installed by the user).
        - If this file is found, the project is marked as "anonymous_platform"
            and app/app_version info in the state file is ignored.
        - Scheduler RPCs for anonymous projects include a list of app_versions

        boinc_trace(), boinc_diag_init(), and boinc_diag_cleanup()

        clears up one customer bug on Windows NT 4.0 platforms

    - more misc. make_project fixes

David  Feb 4 2004
    - define a destructor for ACTIVE_TASK.
        Do all resource deallocation (close thread/proc/msg handles;
        detach and/or destroy shmem) here.
        This deallocation was being done piecemeal;
        for example, it wasn't being done if the process was aborted.
        Hence the "quit message" object was still there,
        and when another process started in the same slot it would
        immediately get the message (caused "reset project" problem)
    - Eventually delete all ACTIVE_TASK objects.
        The following removed them from the list but didn't deleting:
        ACTIVE_TASK_SET::abort_project()
        ACTIVE_TASK_SET::restart_tasks()  (failure case)
    - Don't ask for work if we have any unfinished work.
        This is a temporary kludge to prevent repeated work requests;
        it means that min work buffer is meaningless.
        But maybe this is OK.

    - db_dump: files ordered by ID now have a fixed-size ID range,
        not a fixed # of elements
    - Changed FEASIBLE_COUNT parameters to very large values,
        so that results are never classified as COULDNT_SEND.
        This mechanism is not needed for SETI@home (all results are the same)
        and is occasionally screwing things up.
        Can revisit this later.

    - Removed boincdiag.cpp,h from build and encorporated all its functionality into

    - Improved unhandled exception filter to handle STACK_OVERFLOW exceptions, using
        new stackwalker code base, STACK_OVERFLOWs would have caused a nested
        exception issue that would have masked the real error.
    - Improved unhandled exception filter to handle ACCESS_VIOLATIONs better, using
        stackwalker code base, giving some of the same information for release builds
        that is given in debug builds
    - Created a new macro called BOINCERROR which will trip the management thread into
        gracefully exiting the process with the correct exit code.  This macro will work
        across debug/release builds.  Some more work has to go into the base function,
        hopefully in tomorrow.

    - ask for more work when # of results in progress is less than # CPUs
    - when get an APP_VERSION in a scheduler reply that's already in client state,
        DON'T update the client state (it can't be any different anyway)
        This fixes a garbage-collection crash
    - Win client: added check_state.C to the project.
        You can call check_all() to verify the integrity of client data.
        This is commented out but useful for debugging.
    - FILE_XFER_SET::insert() adds item to list, even if the underlying
        HTTP_OP::insert() fails (because can't connect, e.g.)
        This is necessary to make sure that the FILE_XFER remains in the
        FILE_XFER_SET even in case of error, so that check_all() works.

        NOTE: the semantics of insert() should be reexamined through the whole
        FSM stack.  Does it initialize?  Is it guaranteed to insert?
        Need consistency.

    - New projects were failing to be able to make profiles. Added a bunch of defines
      to project.inc that are now required.
    - Updated the schema.sql file to include columns that are now required.
    - Changed URL handling to include URL_BASE before quite a few relative links.
      Basically PROFILE_PATH was being used for URL generation instead of URL_BASE + 
      IMAGE_URL|PROFILE_URL.

    - Added boinc_diagnostics.c,.h, boinc_exceptions.c,.h.  Not included in the build yet,
      but needed to snapshot the source.
    - Fixed a bug where on Windows we were not really waiting for three seconds before
      a retry.  This is done for both reads and writes since on Windows there is a notion
      of exclusive reads which would make successive read requests fail as well.

    - Include file overhaul for the Windows platform

      Basically the linker was linking Windows GUI resources into it because of various
      references to afxwin.h, these have now been banished from the source tree except in
      one location.

      I added a header file called stdafx.h which contains all the includes for all the
      system header files on Windows, each source file contains a pointer to stdafx.h.

      stdafx.h contains conditional logic to switch between afxwin.h and windows.h depending
      on whether or not _CONSOLE is defined.

      Compiled Source Sizes:               Debug         Release

    I pretty much touched all the source and header files.  This checkin should not have any
    effect on any platform other than Windows.

Rom    Mar 4 2004 (from John Keck)

    Edits to change when the client considers a result to be at its deadline
    it was originally 6 hours as defined in _BASE
    if I did this right it will use the connected fraction to modify that amount
    a 100% connected client will use the base figure, a 0% connected client will
    use the base figure times the multiplier in addition to the base figure.
    The figures I have here will produce a maximum time before deadline of
    18 hours. 6*2=12+6=18 for debugging that may be too much but
    it may not be enough for release.

    - Here is a patch that fixes CPU detection for Linux (i386) and adds CPU detection for MIPS.
      It is not perfect (it's really the proc interface's fault), but at least it is a lot better
      than what is there now.

Jeff  Mar 14 2004
    - Another static/dynamic linking problem fixed by an ugly collect2
      hack.  It turns out that a statically linked linux client gets the 
      following warning at build time:

    hostinfo.C:230: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically 
    linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries 
    from the glibc version used for linking

      and sure enough, when such a client is run on a linux platform
      with a incompatible glibc, we saw the following:

    2004-03-12 11:07:57 [BOINC] Can't resolve hostname setiboinc 
    2004-03-12 11:07:57 [BOINC] Can't resolve hostname setiboinc 
    2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Couldn't read master 
      page for http://setiboinc/ap/: error -113
    2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Couldn't read master 
      page for http://setiboinc/ap/: error -113
    2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Detaching from project - 
      check for URL error
    2004-03-12 11:07:57 [http://setiboinc/ap/] Detaching from project - 
      check for URL error 

      So we needed to link dynamically to libc but statically to libstdc++
      (for reasons described elsewhere in these notes).  The only way found
      so far to do this is via a hand crafted collect2 line.  That, and
      not linking the client statically in a global fashion.

      We should make the collect2 scripts adapt to the environment in
      which they ar run.  Or, better, figure out how to do this all
      within configure/make.

    - bumped version to 2.28.

    - fleshed out trickle-message support a bit.
        Separate notions of "trickle up" (client->server)
        and "trickle down" (server->client) messages.
        They're kept in different tables.
    - added a program trickle_handler.C for handling trickle-up messages.
        This is a framework program: you need to supply a handler function
    - The scheduler sees if there are any trickle-down messages
        for the host, and sends them
    
    STILL TO BE DONE:
        - server-side API for creating trickle-down messages
        - client logic for delivering trickle-down messages

    - Various changes to the way CPU benchmarking is done,
        motivated by the need to make claimed credit constant across CPUs,
        including "hyperthreaded" X86 CPUs
        Old:
            A single process runs the benchmark.
            This gets 100% of the FPU on a HT CPU.
            When 2 copies of an app are run,
            they will each get 50% of the FPU,
            so the claimed credit will be too high by a factor of 2.
        New:
            Run N copies of the benchmark in parallel,
            where N is the number of CPUs reported by the OS
            (e.g. twice the number of HT CPUs)
            Average the results.
        Revised interface:
            start_cpu_benchmarks() starts up the N benchmark processes
            cpu_benchmarks_poll() checks for completion
            are_cpu_benchmarks_running() returns true iff running (doesn't poll)
            abort_cpu_benchmarks() aborts processes
        The set of running processes is maintained in an
            array of BENCHMARK_DESC structures
        Results are passed back in files in the Unix case,
            where we use separate processes.
            In the Windows case (where we use threads)
            results are passed back in the BENCHMARK_DESC structure.

     - tagged as seti_boinc_app_release_2_32 and released to alpha.

David  April 3 2004
    - added a mechanism to handle situations where an app
        appears to have exited successfully,
        but in fact didn't call boinc_finish() or exit(0).
        This apparently can happen on various platforms, don't ask me how.
        The new mechanism:
        boinc_finish() writes a file "boinc_finish_called"
        in the slot directory.
        When an app appears to have exited successfully,
        the core client checks for the existence of this file.
        If it's not there, the result is placed "in limbo":
        it takes up a slot, but the app isn't restarted.
        If the core client is restarted, the app is restarted.

        NOTE: when we release a core client with this feature,
        it's critical that all users reset the project,
        and that updated versions of all apps are released.
        Might be a good time for a major release increment.

    - synchronize access to shared-mem work array by scheduler processes,
        with the goal of NEVER sending the same result to different hosts.
        - Instead of a single bool present flag, there are now 3 states
            for an element in the array: absent, present, and
            "checked out" (being considered for sending)
        - There's now a semaphore that a scheduler process must acquire before
            examining the state field of an array entry
            (note: the feeder creates this semaphore,
            but doesn't have to acquire it
            because of the producer/consumer situation).

    - ACTIVE_TASK::request_exit() (win): kill the process immediately,
        instead of sending it a quit request event,
        waiting a few seconds, then killing it.
        Currently the quit request event is checked only in
        boinc_time_to_checkpoint(),
        which (at least, in SETI@home) isn't called very often.
        So it always takes 5 seconds to exit the core client.

David  April 8 2004
    - Fix a major error in back-end logic (found by Jeff):
        The canonical result's output files (and WU input files)
        were being deleted when all results had server_state = OVER.
        But this doesn't mean they've been validated!
        So the third result from every group of three
        was failing validation about half the time
        because the canonical result output files had been deleted.

        The fix: delete canonical result and WU files only when
        all results are OVER *and* all results with outcome SUCCESS
        have been validated.

David  April 9 2004
    - Fixed a nasty bug that caused back-end processes
        to corrupt records in the "result" table, and potentially others.
        The Bug:
            - escape_string() replaces ' and \ by \' and \\ respectively;
                this is done so that they can be used in SQL statements, e.g.
                update foo set blah='abc\'def';
            - escape_string() (which can increase the length of a string)
                didn't check the size of its output buffer
            - The stderr_out field of results with stack traces
                often are near their 4KB limit,
                and have LOTS of \s (in file paths)
            - escape_string() was writing beyond the end of the
                stderr_out field, writing garbage into fields
                like batch, claimed_credit, etc.
        The Fix:
            add a "len" argument to escape_string(),
            and use safe_strncpy() to avoid writing off the end of the buffer.

    - Changes in the parsing of WU template files:
        - Any unrecognized elements in a <file_info>
          are now just copied to the output.
          So you can include attributes like <sticky/>
          and they'll get propagated correctly.
        - The following items can now be included in a WU template:
            rsc_fpops_est
            rsc_fpops_bound
            rsc_memory_bound
            rsc_disk_bound

            max_total_results
            max_success_results

            These are not copied to the output,
            but are used to populate the WORKUNIT
            (which is now passed in as an arg)

    The latter means that 'create_work' (the cmdline program) is simplified;

    - server: instead of a single "stop" file, we now have two:
        stop_daemons: tells daemon processes to stop
        stop_sched: tells scheduler to return "down" message

            remove stop_daemons
            start daemon processes
            wait 10 seconds
            remove stop_sched
        which is necessary to give the feeder a "head start"
        on deleting and creating the shared memory segment.

            version combinations.  For instance currently Linux is on version
            302 and Windows is on 301, but the report will still show results

        SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGKILL, SIGTERM, SiGSTOP
        Note: some of these should in principle never happen

    - Server: remove MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE and use LARGE_BLOB_SIZE instead.
        MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE was used in various C structs
        to hold database blobs for:
            app_version.xml_doc (list of files in app)
            result.xml_doc_in, xml_doc_out (output files)
            result.stderr_out
            wu.xml_doc (input files)
        It was defined as 4KB, which overflowed if you had
            more than 10 or so files (with signatures etc.)

    Note 1: this greatly increases the size of WORKUNIT and RESULT,
        to I decreased the number of WU_RESULTs in shared memory
        from 1000 to 100.
        Eventually we might want to redefine the shared memory
        so that it doesn't store the entire structs
    Note 2: these buffer overflows should have been caught early-on,
        i.e. when the workunit, result or app_version was created.
        We should never just do a strcpy() or even safe_strncpy();
        instead, we should check for overflow, return error if so,
        then do the copy.
        I added some code to do this in workunit and result generation;
        still need to do this for app_version (in Python)

    - Massive simplification of STARFIELD implementation.
        Instead of using the same 3D coordinate space as other stuff,
        stars now have their own -1..1 type coordinate space,
        and we do the perspective transformation ourselves.
        This eliminates the need for all the is_visible() crap.

        The goal was to get rid of the hang/crash when the user
        moves the viewpoint too far away,
        but I ended up rewriting the (crufty) code.

        Got rid of get_matrix_invert()

        But it's not clear that the Whetstone number
        should be interpreted as MFLOPS.
        If you want to check it out, add a call to whetstone(10, x) somewhere,

David  May 21 2004
    - API: changed timer period from 50 Hz to 1 Hz.
        This timer is used only for reporting progress and CPU,
        not for doing graphics, to 1 Hz is enough
    - API: if setup_shared_mem() returns error, set standalone = true.
        This means that if you run an app standalone,
        it will be detected automatically,
        so no need for command-line args or even
        standalone argument to boinc_init()
        (but leave that arg in for now)
    - API: initialize fraction_done to -1,
        and only report it to core client if >= 0
        (i.e. don't report it unless app specifies it)
    - API: removed
        #ifdef HAVE_SYS_SHM_H
        #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H
        around calls to attach_shmem in non-Win case.
        This not an appropriate place for these ifdefs.
    - core client: ACTIVE_TASK_SET::check_app_exited():
        skip tasks in state PROCESS_IN_LIMBO.
        This avoid core client spinning when apps misbehave.
    - core client: changed variable names in app.C:

    - Support for "compound applications" (such as climateprediction.net)
        in which a main program runs several apps in sequence.
        The items are:
        1) The app init file now contains fields
            <fraction_done_start> and <fraction_done_end>
            giving the fraction-done range occupied by the app.
            Note: the app calls boinc_fraction_done() with values
            from 0 to 1 as usual.
            The API implementation takes care of scaling them
            to the start..end range.

            The main program must fill in these fields and call
            boinc_write_app_init_file() prior to running each app.
        2) boinc_finish() fills the final CPU time into the
            APP_INIT_DATA struct, then calls boinc_write_app_init_file().
            This passes the CPU time along to the next program.
        3) got rid of boinc_child_start() and boinc_child_done().

    - Change benchmarks to not use global variables
        (since, on Windows, we have several threads running them
        in the same address space).
        This requires passing around an extra structure pointer,
        which slows down the benchmarks,
        but it doesn't seem to make a big difference.

        - added 'daily_result_quota' element to config.xml and SCHED_CONFIG
            (optional - gives max results per host per day)
        - change server logic so that the host record is updated
            after calling send_work()
        - change server logic to enforce daily result quota,

    - in strcpy2(), use strlcpy instead of strncpy
        strncpy() always copies the full N bytes,
        which is inefficient when there are long (64KB) fields
        that are short or empty.
        strlcpy() does what we want - it only copies significant bytes,
        but doesn't go off the end of the destination buffer.
        I also commented out the version of strlcpy in std_fixes.h -
        this has the same performance problem.

    - Windows sockets can't be used in fdopen() (thank you MS),
        and we wanted all the standard XML output functions
        to be able to write to either disk or socket (for GUI RPC).
        So we added a class MIOFILE, with printf() and fgets() member funcs,
        that can be implemented with either a FILE* or a memory buffer
        under the hood.
    - Moved MFILE from api/ to lib/ since it's used in the implementation
        of MIOFILE
    - Changed all XML write and parse functions to take MIOFILE&
        instead of FILE*
    - Changed GUI RPC client code to use MIOFILEs
    - Changed GUI RPC protocol so that every reply message
        ends with a \003 delimiter
        (to make it unambiguous where reply ends)
    - removed version number header from GUI RPC (rethink this later)

    - client: handle a "down for maintenance" RPC reply as a failure,
        i.e. do a backoff on the project.
        This should hopefully fix a problem where if
        a project is down, and a client has a result to report,
        it will do an RPC every second, creating an overload on the server.
        Do this by adding a new optional <project_is_down/> element
        to scheduler replies.
    - If get a <request_delay> from scheduler,
        don't let that override the current min_rpc_time;
        instead, take the max of the two.
    - Change the implementation of trickle messages.
        Instead of using dedicated trickle_up and trickle_down DB tables,
        use more general msg_from_host and msg_to_host tables.
        These will be used also for data management,
        i.e. to send upoad or download requests to specific hosts.

    - Added core->app heartbeat mechanism so that apps will quit
        if the core client dies
        (i.e. if no heartbeat message arrives in 5 seconds).
        Suppress this if app is standalone.
        Also provide messages that let the core disable/enable
        the mechanism (to support debugging of the core client)
    - Added a 3rd message channel for suspend/resume/quit messages,
        to replace signals.
        This isn't used now.
    - Restored code in APP_CLIENT_SHM that checks the "full" bit
        before writing a message.
        This may cause problems.

    NOTE: this is a backwards-incompatible change to the core/app

Eric K 30 June 2004
    - Removed "using" directives from header files.  "using"
      directives should not be used in header files for the following reasons.
      - A "using namespace" directive cannot be revoked for any source file
        including the header.  It forces the use of the namespace regardless of
        the consequences.
      - Dropping the namespace qualifier on STL templates ambiguates the
        resolution of template functions.  (How many C libraries or headers
        have you seen that define the function min()?)
      - Reducing typing is not a good reason to drop namespace qualifiers any
        more than it would be a good idea to "#define p printf"
      - Namespaces exist for a reason.
      - It's acceptable to have "using" directive in a source file, since it
        won't affect other files.  It's better to have "using std::string;" 
        directives than "using namespace std;" for hopefully obvious reasons.

David  30 June 2004
    - change feeder query to eliminate 'order by random'

    - Changed the way result templates are stored with workunits.
        Instead of storing them as blobs,
        store a filename relative to project root dir.
        This is to speed up DB.
    - disable web command to update host credit
    - turn off web commands to show results for host/user, and pending credit
    - pruned command-line options from create_work.
        You now have to run it in project root dir,
        and it gets info from config file.

    Project note: this will require either
        1) dropping your workunit and result tables or
        2) modifying your workunit table (see ops/db_update.php)

            can still use BOINC graphics API.
    - API: deleted standalone parameter to boinc_init. standalone
        status is already detected in boinc_init automatically. It

    - Completed (more or less) the implementation of trickle messages.
        Some changes:
        - Trickle-up messages now have a "variety",
            specified by the application.
            Typically it's the name of the application.
            The trickle-up handler (on the server side) specifies what
            variety of message it wants to handle.
        - boinc_receive_trickle_down() no longer returns the message itself;
            instead, it returns the name of the file.
            The app must open, read and delete the file.

    NOTE: the structure of the msg_to_host and msg_from_host tables
        is changed.  Projects will want to drop and recreate these.

Brian  6 July 2004
      - Changed client so that when a file info is compared to 
        an existing file info with the same name, the differences 
        in whether it is an upload or download are updated and 
        any urls that are not present in the file info are added to the url list.
    - When a url is requested for a file info, the file info 
        checks whether it is an upload, and then looks for the 
        substring "file_upload_handler" any url it is trying to 
        use to upload the file. The opposite is true for downloads.

    - Changed get_url into three separate functions:
            get_current_url(bool), returns the current good url
            get_init_url(bool), returns the initial good url and sets the start url
            get_next_url(book), increments current_url and finds the next good url

    - Changed client so that a file_info will save its signed xml 
        even if it doesn't include have xml signature. 

    - Updated the client so that the check to see if the url is 
        valid for the type of network request is a private function of FILE_INFO

    - Modified the backoff_retry function in persistant_file_xfers 
        so that it uses the updated get_url that checks if the url
        is correct for the type of transfer. Otherwise it could 
        increment the current_url index to point to an invalid url

     - If a file_info doesn't have a max number of bytes and a new 
        file_info with the same name does, update the max number 
        of bytes of the existing file_info and add the <max_nbytes> to the signed_xml. 

    - when file_xfer is complete, the client checks if the file 
        was meant to be uploaded when present OR generated locally 
        before setting it to ready to report, instead of only the later

    - With the addition of multiple urls, the issue of sending urls
        that didn't communicate well or got garbage. Whenever a file 
        get's a server error, it calls, check_giveup, which only gives 
        up on the file if there are no more urls to try. Also is called 
        if the downloaded file is garbage or has the same name but not the
        correct size.

    - added functionality for send_file_list but does not do anything yet

    - Removed ';' from queries that had them since the API Docs state
        not to put them in the query.
    - Implement a scheduler optimization so we do one batched read and one 
      transactional write.  In the worst case scenario where the client
      had submitted 20 results we would do 41 reads and 40 writes
      just to update the results.
      Now we batch read all the results at one time and surround
      the write requests within a transaction.
      So now our worst case scenario is 2 reads and 40 writes within a 
      transaction.

      some time processing when there were quite a few messages to go through,
      such as in Predictor@home
    - Moved the code that checkes the total number of messages available in
      the message tab out of the switch/case chunk of code so that it happens
      more frequently than when the user clicks on the messages tab, which
      could take awhile if there was more than 1000 messages.

          3. the result had an upload error
      (unless the exit_code was already non-zero)

      This should get the validator to mark these results as invalid

    - got the new core/app interface working on Unix.
        I looked into implementing the management functions
        using a thread (with pthreads).
        But the pthreads interface is kinda bizarre.
        E.g. you can't suspend another thread.
        You can send it a signal - but the signal handler
        is not allowed to make any pthreads calls!  WTF???

    - Change the ind_res_st index (on result) from

        This makes the feeder's DB query somewhat faster (I think).
        The price we pay is that results from the same WU may
        be sent out close together in time.

    - Integrate code (courtesy of James Drews) that lets you limit

        Here's how it works: make a file "remote_hosts"
        in the BOINC directory with a list of hostnames (# for comment).
        The core client will accept connections only from
        localhost and from hosts in this list.
        Note: if the -allow_remote_gui_rpc option is given,
        ALL connections are accepted.
    - add a "-host x" cmdline arg to gui_test

    - server: better messages on DB errors
    - web: cache system looks for "format=xml" in cache args,
        sends as MIME type XML if so
    - added CGI interface to get user stats as XML
    - top_*.php: forgot to exit() in case of too-large offset
    - xml_escape(): change \n to space

    - scheduler: we were doing an optimization of not opening the DB
        in case there's no work and client not returning results.
        Don't do this if this is initial request from host
        (otherwise it won't get hostid, and will detach project)
    - add "enforce_delay_bound" to SCHED_CONFIG
        (NOTE TO PROJECTS: unless you pub <enforce_delay_bound/>

    Various changes to reflect the fact that message-passing

    - in graphics API: don't ack graphics mode in set_mode();

    - in core client: keep track of the graphics_mode_requested
        separately from the graphics_mode_sent;
        in a polling routine, if these are different then try to send.

        Added -config_dir argument to create_work
        For some reason, the transitioner wasn't expanding UPLOAD_URL

    - Database optimization in the transitioner:
        add several results in a single SQL insert statement
        (using values (...),(...),(...))
        instead of separate inserts.
        This is enabled by a BATCH_INSERT compile flag in transitioner.C
    - Add a USE_TRANSACTIONS flag to transitioner.
        Leave it off for now.
    - For some reason we weren't processing the UPLOAD_URL symbol
        in result templates.
        Restore this, using the info in the config file.
    - transitioner: if anything fails (result creation, WU update), quit.
    - result.random must be initialized by caller on insert
        (not too relevant since we don't use it anymore)
    - start/commit_transaction are now members of DB_CONN
        rather than DB_BASE_SPECIAL
    - scheduler: in scan_work_array, do all "cheap" checks
        (i.e. those that don't require DB access)
        before releasing the semaphore.
        Thus if all the results are infeasible,
        we'll acquire/release the semaphore once, not 100 times.

    - Worked a bit more on the caching... Improvements include....
        - A parameter file html/project.sample/cache_parameters.inc that
      contains the cache TTL values for differing types of files, maximum
      cache size and minimum free disk space in the cache directory.
    - Reducing the cache TTL to 0 for a specific file type results in
      caching being turned off for that file type.
    - The cache now has 256 subdirectories to speed up file open times.
    - The cache directories will be automatically built if they don't exist
      when first called
    - The cache size is checked every CACHE_SIZE_CHECK_FREQ page accesses.
      If the max size or min free space are exceeded, file are purged in
      order of age until the cache size is below the cutoff.

    - changed the API to handle compound applications.
        API tasks are broken down into a number of boolean
        "options" (struct BOINC_OPTIONS).
        For compound apps, the controller and worker call a new
        function boinc_init_options(), specifying which tasks
        they're going to handle.
        This reads the API init file, attaches shared memory,
        and starts a timer (which does only the requested tasks).

        The old boinc_init() still exists (with no args now).
        It is to be used by single-process apps.
        It calls boinc_init_options() with all options turned on.
    - Add the core client version to the API init file;
        if the app has the wrong API version file, it quits.
    - Core client: if an app gives us a trickle-up message,
        do a scheduler RPC.
    - Fixed API bug where trickle-up msgs were being read
        from the wrong message channel

    - Initial support for hierarchical upload/download directories.
        With large directories (100,000 - 1,000,000 files)
        Solaris and NFS burn too much CPU time searching dirs.
        Our plan is to use a 2-level hierarchy,
        with the fanout specified in config.xml:
        <uldl_dir_fanout>x<uldl_dir_fanout>
        A fanout of 1024 should work OK for up to 1M files.
        A couple of utility programs in tools/:
            dir_hier_path shows where a file is
            dir_hier_move moves existing files into a hierarchy

    - Added my data management code for client. Full documentation is avaiable
      on the BOINC website under Disk Space Management. Major changes to the
      client are as follows:
        - When a file is sent to be downloaded, it is associated with a project
          which checks if there is enough space on disk
        - Files are deleted when this space, as set by the user prefs, fills up
        - Instead of sending the user prefs to the scheduling server, three 
          new values are sent and the server decides how much work to award
          each host based on these values and config.xml prefs (documented)
        - Files have a priority and expiration date which sorts them for
          deletion purposes
    - Uploaded my tools for sending and getting files to and from a host.
    - Uploaded a tool that requests a file list from all hosts, although it has
      not been fully implimented on the core client
    - Uploaded a tool that sends a request for a host to delete a local file

    - Changed server software to use the hierarchical directory mechanism.
        This means using dir_hier_path() to generate the pathname
        of an input or output file,
        rather than just concatenating directory and filename.
        Also (in process_wu_template()) use dir_hier_url()
        to generate the appropriate URL
    - Add a scheme for transitioning from flat to hierarchical download dir.
        Can have a <download_dir_alt> element in config.xml,
        giving the path of an old, flat dir.
        file_deleter will look here if it can't find file in main download dir.

    - Make <copy_file/> work for application files as well as input files

        This should make it possible to use shared-library files in Mac OS/X
        that have to reside in the slot dir.
        This was done by factoring out file-setup code into a function
        (setup_file()) that's used for all files (app, input and output)
    - Deleted code for file-descriptor-based application access to

        fix concurrency bug by reading WU.workseq_next
        from database just prior to checking,
        then updating the field immediately if needed.
    - scheduler: update_wu_transition_time():
        use update_field(); more efficient
    - Added DB_BASE::get_field_int(): get a single integer
        field from a DB record.
        A little cheaper than reading the whole record
    - DB_BASE::lookup(): remove code that sees if record is unique.
        It's called after mysql_free_result(),
        so it will never return anything.
    - DB code: changed "if (db->mysql && is_high_priority) to just
        "if (is_high_priority)".
        db->mysql is a pointer, and is always nonzero.
        It's not a flag saying whether the DB is MySQL.

    - Fixed nasty bug in feeder that has been present since April 3 (doh!).
        scan_work_array() scanned the work array with logic of the form
            if (wu_result.state == PRESENT) {
                ...
            } else {
                // assume wu_result.state == EMPTY
            }
        but with the introduction of the CHECKED_OUT state,
        this became invalid, and the feeder was overwriting entries while they
        were "checked out" by a scheduler.
        Fixed this by changing if() to switch()
    - Added check to scan_work_array(): when read result from DB,
        make sure result.workunitid matches the WU's ID.
        This ensures correctness even if the feeder is wrong.

    - Cleanup and bug fixes in CPU scheduler
        There was inconsistent terminology,
        e.g. a task could have scheduler_state = CPU_SCHED_RUNNING
        but actually be suspended; it could have state = PROCESS_RUNNING
        but actually be suspended, and so on.
        New terminology:
            "executing" (formerly "running", which was used ambiguously)
            CPU_SCHED_SCHEDULED (formerly CPU_SCHED_RUNNING):
                the CPU scheduler has given its permission
                for a task to execut; it may not actually be executing
            PROCESS_EXECUTING: the process is executing (not suspended)
            PROCESS_SUSPENDED: the process is suspended
        new function: ACTIVE_TASK::process_exists():
            true if the state is EXECUTING, SUSPENDED, or ABORT_PENDING
            Use this instead of (state == PROCESS_RUNNING) in many cases
        renamed ACTIVE_TASK::task_exited() to has_task_exited()
        changed logic in ACTIVE_TASK_SET::suspend_all()
        ACTIVE_TASK_SET::unsuspend_all():
            Removed code that checks for process exit.
            Poll code should take care of this.
    - enabled preemption by quit
    - add MSG_CHANNEL::send_msg_overwrite(): send message even
        if there's already a message there.
        Use this for process control messages.
    - API: if suspended, check for <quit/> messages as well as <resume/>
        (this affects Unix only)

     - Win98 machines seem to be throwing a SEH stack overflow exception.
       Our unhandled exception filter in this case allocated a 1MB memory buffer
       and pointed the ESP register at it.  Well this chunk of code seems to
       be broken, it is probably the first time it has ever been used.

     - Win98 has a memory leak condition in dealing with memory mapped files.
       So lets go ahead and fix one possible way to slow down the leak, A better
       fix is to recycle the shared memory segments.  Recycling of the shared
       memory segments is forthcomming.

    lib/

David  31 Aug 2004
    - Don't delete shared-memory segment while ACTIVE_TASK is preempted
        via quit (hopefully will fix Win98 problem).
    - Add shmem_seg_name field to ACTIVE_TASK
    - Factor ACTIVE_TASK::get_shmem_seg_name() out of write_app_init_file().
        It had no business being there.
        In particular, write_app_init_file() is sometimes called
        in the middle of execution, when you definitely don't want
        to create a new shmem seg name
    - write_app_init_file() doesn't take APP_INIT_DATA arg
    - define type SHMEM_SEG_NAME (for uniformity across platforms)

    - feeder/scheduler:
        We were seeing problems where the shared-mem array was
        filling up with results that were "locked" by a particular
        scheduler process, which apparently had then died,
        leaving that slot in limbo.
        Add code to the feeder to check if the process that
        locked a slot still exists, and unlock it if not.
    - end_cache(): check for ".." in params string.
        We've had problems with files mysteriously disappearing,
        and it's possible that the caching mechanism has a security loophole.

    - BUGFIX: Moved the delete shared memory code to the end of the function, to
      happen right before slot directory cleanup.  The previous instance of code
      t8hat was commented out was for the unix branch.
    - BUGFIX: The shared memory enumerator had a bug where the name it was
      enumerating wasn't the same name that was eventually locked by the start 
      routine, this caused the client to only be able to run one application at
      a time
    - BUGFIX: The shared memory enumerator was still referencing the slot
      directory number instead of the for loop iterator.
    - BUGFIX: When a process has been preempted, it's pid handle and thread handle
      need to be freed.
    - BUGFIX: Calling MapViewOfFile on Win98 automatically causes a memory leak,
      so don't call it unless we really have to.

          for me.

        The function clean_cache($dir) was enumerating files in $dir,

David  2 Sept 2004
    - If an executable file failed validation, any results using
        that app version would hang forever in the "downloading" state.
        Two changes were needed to fix this:
        1) garbage_collect(): when scanning results,
            check for download failures of APP_VERSION files
            (as well as WU files), and if so mark the result as failed.
            Added new functions APP_VERSION::had_failure() and get_file_errors().
        2) handle_scheduler_reply(): if get an APP_VERSION that we already have,
            reset any errored-out FILE_INFOs,
            i.e. give it a chance to download again.
            There are various ways to do this, but this seems the cleanest.
            Added new functions FILE_INFO::reset()
            and APP_VERSION::clear_errors()
    - made verify_downloaded_file() into a member function of FILE_INFO.
        It now sets the error_msg field to a descriptive string
        so that failures will be reported to project

    NOTE: check_giveup(), handle_xfer_failure(), and retry_or_backoff()

    - If an app exits with zero status but no finish file,
        instead of putting it in limbo (which causes the core client to do no work)
        just restart the process again.
        NOTE: eventually we should detect when this is happening repeatedly,
        and error out the result.
        For now, just print a message telling user they may need to reset project.

          (Uploads and scales to 100x100 in the IMGAGE_PATH dir)
        - Special users

        - Option to display images as links
        - Option to open links in a new window
        - Option to hide avatars
        - Option to enable/disable attach of signature by default
        - Settings for sorting is now handled using the database
            instead of cookies (ie. you can change host without
            having to set your preferences up again,
            some users also have cookies disabled)
        - Preview of signature
        - Unread posts are marked as "Unread"
          (if they are newer than 2 days (configurable in forum.inc)
           and user hasn't visited the post)
        - Interface to forum preferences and sorting methods
        - Link to interface from user preferences
        - Reset forum preferences button
         (Some users have reported that an unusually long
          signature with html could make the page unviewable. This fixes it)
        - Option to sort with "Oldest first" in answers in the FAQ area

    - The Windows GUI and CLI versions were using different mechanisms
        to ensure that only one instance of BOINC is running.

        which is used by all versions.

    - (from Ben Herndon)  Some compilers optimize away sections of the Whetstone
        benchmark function, since their results aren't used outside the function.
        To deal with this, we added an global-scope array (extern_array[])
        and store the result of each section into it.
        Also changed section 3 by initializint j from the extern_array,
        so the compiler can't optimize out all the conditionals.

Jeff  09 Sep 2004
    - Change the validator to handle the case where one or more
      of the result files for a WU's result set can't be read.
      Currently, this case results in this WU and its results
      never getting looked at again - no science, no credit.

      We distinguish 2 cases:
      1) transient failure, e.g. an NFS mount is not working.
         (can't read directory)
         In this case check_set() returns a special code to the validator,
         which arranges for the WU to get transitioned again in a few hours.
      2) permanent failure (file doesn't exist)
         The result's validate_state is set to ERROR (new state),
         which is generally equivalent to INVALID
    - add new WU arg to check_set()
        (so it can access min_quorum)

      This is coordinated seti_boinc / boinc change.
      This note is repeated in the seti_boinc checkin_notes.

      seti_boinc changes:
        - get_result_file(), if it cannot read the result file,
          tries to read the directory where the result file should be.
          If it can read the directory, it returns ERR_FOPEN, as before.
          If it cannot read the directory, it resturns ERR_OPENDIR.
          ERR_OPENDIR in this context signals a possibly transient problem.
          Upon a successful result read, it sets sah_result.have_result
          (a new data member as of this change) to true.
        - check_set(), upon return from get_result_file() :
            - sets result.validate_state to VALIDATE_STATE_ERROR (a new state)
              and retval to zero if there is a nonzero retval from check_set()
              and it is not ERR_OPENDIR.  It then continues.
            - otherwise just continues.
          check_set() then determines if any IO errors brought the result count
          below wu.min_quorum.  If not, it continues.  Otherwise it returns.
          In all subsequent logic any results for which
          sah_result.have_result == false are skipped.
          Note that the result and the sah_result vectors are associated.

        validate/
            sah_result.h
            sah_validate.cpp
            sah_boinc_db.cpp

        boinc changes:
          - new validate state VALIDATE_STATE_ERROR.
          - in the enumeration for check_set(),
            we now include a clause to check for VALIDATE_STATE_INIT
            in order to ignore results set to VALIDATE_STATE_ERROR.
            This enumeration query now matches that for check_pair().
          Note that the only possible retvals from check_set()
          are now zero or ERR_OPENDIR.
          Note that logic to retry possibly transient errors still needs
          to be done.
          Also left to be done is a transitioner change to subtract
          the number of results in state VALIDATE_STATE_ERROR
          from the count of active results.
          The latter change is needed to stimulate the production
          of additional results for the affected WU.

    - added a <dont_generate_upload_certificates/> option to config.xml.
        If set, no upload certificates will be generated for results.
        This will make the transitioner run faster.
        If you use this, you must set <ignore_upload_certificates/>
        immediately, and leave it on for a couple of weeks
        even after start generating upload certificates again.

        venue is passed from server to client, never the other way.
    - always pass back host credit info in sched reply
        (not just if new hostid - how did that happen??)

    - Ending the venue debacle, part II: The Client

        1) Each project maintains its venue separately.
        It's stored in the project's account file,
        and is used to select the project prefs variant.

        2) Let P be the project that's the source of the global prefs.
        Then P's venue is used to select the global prefs variant.
        (Note: P's venue may change without the global prefs changing).
        This venue is stored in the CLIENT_STATE.main_host_venue
        and in the client state file; it survives even if P is detached.

        So the basic logic is:
        if you get a new venue from project P,
        re-parse its project prefs.
        If in addition P is the source of the global prefs,
        re-parse the global prefs and put the venue in CLIENT_STATE.main_host_venue
    - got rid of CLIENT_STATE::parse_venue()
    - don't send host_venue in scheduler request

    This is for the benefit of Folding@home,

David  11 Oct 2004
    - changed the graphics API to support Mac OS/X
        (in which only the original thread can do GUI stuff).
        boinc_init_graphics() now takes a function-pointer arg
        for the worker function; it runs this function in a new thread,
        and the calling thread does the GUI event loop.

        Did this for Windows, and attempted to make the same changes
        in the Mac and X11 code.  May or may not work.

    - got rid of everything related to the GRAPHICS_INFO structure.
        This wasn't being used.

    NOTE: this change doesn't affect the core/app interface.
    No need to recompile existing apps.

David  14 Oct 2004
    - Core client: change the poll paradigm a little
        OLD: all the poll functions get called,
            at least once a second or more often when there's activity,
            e.g. network traffic.
            The problem: some of the poll functions (e.g. garbage collect)
            do a lot of work, and in periods of network activity
            they get called hundreds of times/sec.
        NEW: all poll functions take a "double now" argument.
            Those that only need to run every second can
            keep track of the last time called, and return false
            if not enough time has gone by
    - Clarify meaning of TIME_STATS::active_frac:
        it is the fraction of total time
        (NOT time that core client is running)
        that core client is enabled to work
    - CLIENT_STATE::compute_work_requests():
        Don't divide by active_frac in computing work request;
        the scheduler already does this!!

        This is a by-product of recent graphics changes:
        boinc_init() was getting the current thread handle and assuming
        it's the worker thread, which is not the case now.

    - Fixed the following problem with graphics apps on Unix:
        - the worker timer handler (on_timer) was set up in boinc_init();
            this is called in the main thread,
            which for graphics apps ends up being the graphics thread.
        - the call to getrusage() in on_timer() was returning
            the CPU time of the graphics thread, not the worker thread
        - there doesn't seem to be a way for one thread to
            get the CPU time of another thread
        Solution: (unfortunately requires a change to the API):
            apps that use graphics now call either
            boinc_init_graphics() or
            boinc_init_options_graphics()
            and DON'T call boinc_init()

        This code wasn't taking into account how long ago
        the average credit was computed.
        The fix: add functions user_inactive_days() (host/team also)
        If the user's expavg_time is older than a week,
        call user_decay_credit() to decay the average credit.
    - create a PHP function update_average(),

        enabled on NT machines.
    - Update screensaver so that it reports all error conditions
        that the old GUI used to report.
    - Update screensaver so that if BOINC isn't running
        and graphics capable apps
        it'll display the result name and percent completed.
        NOTE: this hasn't been tested yet.
    - Updated BOINC Manager with some const changes.
    - Updated BOINC Manager so that it can detect which Window Station
        and Desktop it is currently executing in,
        and pass that info off to BOINC when needed.
    - Updated the CC so that it doesn't try to act like a screensaver anymore,
        so now we can have a unified screensaver experience.
    - Updated the CC to pass the Window Station and Desktop information
        to the science application so it can transition into the screensaver
        desktop when the user
        has the password checkbox checked on NT based platforms.
    - Updated the shared memory structures for passing the extra information
        that is now needed.
    - Updated the GUI RPC's to require Window Station and Desktop information
        when needed.

     - Fixed RESULT form on ops page so that it now covers correctly
       all possible states (including ones with value 0) and
       eliminated the 'Unknown' values that previously appeared on the form.
       These were in error.  This is a clean fix, by defining (for example)
       outcome='CHOOSE_ALL', eg a non-numerical value, for the 'select
       ALL' case.
     - Added a select menu for validate_state to the RESULT form.
     - In forms for outcome, validate_state, client_state and
       server_state, indicate numeric values (helpful if using

    - UNIX applications graphics:
        Use atexit(), setjmp() and longjmp() to pop the stack
        and resume within xwin_graphics_event_loop()
        when exit() is called in the graphics thread.

        This means that we can use the standard GLUT library,
        not our modified version.

        Thanks to Bruce Allen for suggesting this!!!!

    [Note inserted by Bruce the next day. ANSI-C 4.6.2.1 says: "The
    longjmp function ... The longjmp function should not be called in
    an exit handler (i.e., a function registered with the atexit
    function (see <20>4.10.4.2)), since it might jump to some code which
    is no longer in scope."  This should be OK on OSes that delay image
    teardown until after calling the handler functions, provided that
    the routine calling exit() has cleaned up its memory. An
    alternative might be to use dlopen() or the loader to replace the
    calls to exit() with a BOINC routine.]

    - Bug Fix: When BOINC is running as a service, make sure that we can display
        some simple status messages about the progress of the projects.
    - Bug Fix: Allow the apps to detect if they can support graphics, because
        of the Window Station and Desktop change, if not report back to the
        CC that graphics are not supported.
    - Bug Fix: Configure the screensaver so that is can reestablish a connection
        to the CC in case the core client is shutdown in the background, and
        restarted.
    - Bug Fix: Use the project name in the system status message instead of the
        result name.
    - Bug Fix: Screensaver now works even when BOINC is running as a service.
        NOTE: This currently only works if the account is LocalSystem and
        Interact with Desktop is checked.
    - Bug Fix: When the service account is switched to an account that cannot
        support interact with desktop make sure the screensaver can display
        the project status.
    - Bug Fix: If we have to report back that graphics are not supported in
        the current configuration, don't create the window, it only makes
        the system jittery.  I suspect it has something to do with the
        possibility of garbage UI events being sent to the application.
    - Remove remain screensaver logic from the old GUI.

    - Bug fixes (thanks to Jens Seidler): set cross project id (CPID)
        to random value when creating user account from Administrator form,
        and lower_case email address before inserting into database.
        Added script  make_emails_lowercase.php which
        goes through user database and changes email addresses to lowercase,
        and sets CPID to a random string if it is currently 0 (empty).
        It should be safe to run this script any number of times,
        on a damanged or undamaged user database, with no side effects.
    - 'Fixed' py/Boinc/add_util.py so that it takes cross_project_id
        value out of XML file.  Current default value is '0'.
        Karl, could you fix this to make it a random string?

    - Changed PHP code so that the "generated on" text
        produced for cached pages appears inside the <html> tag
        for HTML pages, and doesn't appear at all for XML output.
        
        Cached pages must now call page_tail(true) rather than page_tail().
        This function, not end_cache(), prints the "generated on" text.

        If you need to modify the Mac build flags,

    - Added static volatile const char *BOINCrcsid="$Id:..."; string to
      the top of all .C files.  This means that 'string' or 'ident'
      run on an executable will tell you the exact file versions used
      in building it, since CVS replaces $Id:... with a complete version ID
      string.  Declaration is volatile so that the compiler won't remove
      it even under agressive optimizations.

    - Fixed initialization bug where calling boinc_init_graphics()
      would not initialize options correctly, creating
      lockfile/finished havoc in graphics APP.  Thanks Reinhard!

    - Bug Fix: Undue the change made this morning relating to the STARTUPINFO structure,
        specifying the startup parameters causes the first call to ShowWindow to be
        ignored, which means we would have to make a second call.  This however, isn't
        the bug E@H ran into.
    - Bug Fix: With older clients that didn't specify the window station and desktop in 
        the share memory buffer, we ended up calling both OpenWindowStation and OpenDesktop 
        with their lpszWindowStation and lpszDesktop parameters being an empty string, which
        is an undefined behavior.  Apparently Windows returns a valid handle instead of NULL 
        and sends the application into another window station and desktop.

            add_util.py, boinc_db.py, boinc_project_path.py, etc. etc.
    - put keys in home/projects/PROJECT/keys, not in home/keys
    - socket.gethostname() seems to return the full domain name on Linux.
        Strip off the domain part for log_HOST etc.

        This is a bug waiting to happen (in fact, it had already happened).
    - convert a few remaining absolute times from int to double
    - Add a function validate_time().
        This sees if its arg is in Windows format
        (greater than now + 1000 days)
        and if so converts it to UNIX format.
    - Call validate_time() after parsing all absolute times
    - in old GUI, show %done of file uploads correctly

    NOTE: the time-checking code can be removed in the next major version

    - Bug Fix: Each view now contains a display cache; the display cache
        is synchronized during the regularly scheduled list render event.
        The control grabs the necessary information from the cache instead
        of cycling down to the document.  Due to the way listviews were 
        implemented on some platforms I believe this will fix some refresh
        problems where the data wasn<73>t being updated in a timely manor.
        This also had the added benefit of increasing performance on displaying
        updates.

        screensaver to force the foreground window depending on the state in
        which the screensaver was launched.  This is the slightly less
        aggressive way to do this.  Ideally the active process is the screensaver
        and so therefore can promote another process into the foreground.

    - Fixed a nasty bug in the scheduler.  Under a number of possible
      error conditions, handle_request.C would read only some fields of
      and existing request into memory, and then write more of those fields,
      some of which were null, back into memory.  This had the effect of nulling
      out outcome, client_state, exit_status, cpu_time, xml_doc_out, stderr_out,
      validate_state, claimed_credit and client_version.  The point is that
      DB_SCHED_RESULT_ITEM_SET::enumerate() followed by
      DB_SCHED_RESULT_ITEM_SET::update_result
      did not preserve an 'existing result'.  It wiped out the fields above.

    - Redid 'fix' to scheduler bug from 3 December 2004.  In fact the
      fix was incomplete. In order for it to work as intended, I would
      have also had to modify SCHED_RESULT_ITEM::parse to copy the
      additional needed fields into the in-memory structure.  But this
      is fragile.  The next time some additional fields are added to the
      result table, they would have to be incorporated here as well, to
      ensure that SET followed by UPDATE is the identity operation.  So
      I did a more graceful and robust fix.  Simply set result.id=0 for
      those results that have already been received or which for other
      reasons should not be modified in the database, then skip these
      when updating.

    - Fixed 'time to checkpoint' problem under Win32 with pure C code.
      It turns out that MS VC++ up to version 4.2 defines bool as INT.
      But more recent VC++ defines bool as CHAR.  This broke
      boinc_time_to_checkpoint() under Win32, when used within pure ANSI
      C code, if you treated the return value as a bool. So this patch
      defines bool as char if using C under recent MS compilers.

      David, a better solution for API functions that should be
      callable from C is to make them return 'int' not 'bool'.
      Probably ditto for Fortran. Sigh.

        Can be used to prioritize work dispatch
        (implemented; run feeder with -priority_order option)
        and to give higher priority to retries (not implemented)
    - Added mod_time field to workunit and result tables.
        This is stored in a MySQL format (12-char ASCII representation)
        Need to add an index for this.
    - add "batch" and "priority" args to create_work
    - renamed host.workseq_next to host.hr_class
    - added "avg_turnaround" field to host table.
        Use this to keep track of average result latency.
        Use this for "performance homogeneous scheduling"
        (neither of these implemented yet)
    - add new DB fields to db_dump.C, db_purge.C
    - changed "account ID" to "account key" everywhere
    - Python code: all Python is now copied to project/bin.
        Eliminate the "Boinc" module.
        boinc_path_config.py is no longer used by anything
        in the project side, and it doesn't exist in project/bin.
    - At conclusion of account creation,
        send user to the BOINC site to download the core client.
        We no longer expect projects to store the core client
        in their DB or download directory.
    - The email telling users their account key now takes into
        account whether this is a new account,
        whether it needs to be validated,
        whether the user clicked "remind me of my key", etc.
    - Web: improved and reorganized the display of general prefs
    - client: don't redirect stderr/out on platforms other than Win
    - when add project, check for empty URL or authenticator
    - removed code (already commented out) that tells the server
        what other projects the host is attached to.
        This could be viewed as an invasion of privacy.
    - create_work: error-check that enough input files are listed
    - remove limit of 10 output files
        (small change to process_result_template())
    - default uldl_dir_fanout (for new projects) is 1024

    NOTE: this checkin requires that you update your database.
    See html/ops/db_update.php

    TODO: if you type <OUTFILE_0> instead of <OUTFILE_0/>

    - Bug Fix: Under the previous arrangement there was a timer event that would
        fire off once a second to check for the possiblility that the item in the
        list view had been deselected.  We weren't receiving a deselection event
        for single selection controls.  So I've ripped out the timer code and
        trapped the controls click event, and check the controls state.

        If we are a single selection control and the current selection is different
          from the row that has focus, then manually send the deselection event.

        If we are a multi selection control, check to see if anything is selected,
          if not, then manually send the deselection event.

        This has the added bonus of making our UI seem faster.

      NOTE:  I know this wasn't on the list to fix this release, but it was driving
        me nuts.

    - Refactored the app graphics code so that it can be used in 2 ways:
        1) Linked with the main program.
            This works OK on Windows, but on UNIX there's the problem
            that the app won't run unless the required libraries
            (openGL, X11) are present.
        2) Graphics code in a separate shared library.
            The main program calls a new function boinc_init_graphics_lib(),
            giving it the name of the shared library.
            This function tries to open the library.
            If this fails (e.g. because X11 libs aren't there)
            it runs the application without graphics.
            Otherwise it calls the graphics initialization routine
            in the library, which creates the graphics thread.

            This case is tricky because the library's initialization routine
            can't directly call boinc_init() (from boinc_api.C).
            Doing so requires boinc_api.o to be linked with the library,
            which gives it separate copies of all the static variables.
            This produces a situation where, e.g., there are two copies of
            "fraction_done"; the one in the main program gets updated,
            the one in the library remains zero and
            gets reported to the core client.

            To solve this problem, the library's initialization routine
            takes a pointer to boinc_init() as an argument,
            and calls it via that pointer.
            boinc_api.o must NOT be linked with the shared library.
            
        Bruce Allen thought up the idea of doing graphics
        in a separate library.

    - Fixed a bug in the validator that could cause WUs to
        get stuck in a state where they have no canonical result,
        no results in progress, and no transition scheduled.

        1) After calling check_set(), count the number "nsuccess_results"
        of results that still have outcome == SUCCESS
        (this may have changed, since check_set() can change
        the outcome to VALIDATE_ERROR).

        2) If check_set() fails to find a canonical result,
        always schedule an immediate transition.

        3) If nsuccess_results >= target_nresults,
        set target_nresults to nsuccess_results+1.
        This ensures that the transitioner will make a new result,
        even in pathological cases (e.g. nsuccess_results > target_nresults)

        David, here's a rough pass, I haven't even tried to compile
        it. Please read comments in-line.  I think the major
        shortcoming is
        that most (all?) apps will want to use 'handle' to resolve their
        own functions to communicate data from worker to app graphics.
        Perhaps we should provide an additional argument to
        boinc_init_graphics_lib() for that purpose?  At the right point,
        after sucessful dlopen(), boinc_init_graphics_lib() will call
        that user-supplied function (if not NULL) passing it handle.
        On return boinc_init_graphics_lib() will then carry on and start
        graphics.
        It's fun working on a file that's not in Makefile.  No guilt!

    - bug fixes for graphics lib stuff.
        Code in the app's graphics shared library (including x_opengl.C)
        must not directly reference variables in the main program
        (e.g. app_client_shm) because it will have "shadow" copies of them.

        Changed the graphics_impl interface so that the shared library
        function gets passed a pointer to a structure (BOINC_MAIN_STATE)
        containing everything it will need to access.

        This is a first pass.  May need to add more to BOINC_MAIN_STATE.
        And should clean up .h file structure so that compiler will
        enforce constraints.

    - Fix a bug where a result could potentially bounce back
        and forth between the transitioner and the validator.
        This could happen if there are min_quorum success results,
        and there's no consensus.
        The fix:
        - added new value for result.validate_state:
            VALIDATE_STATE_INCONCLUSIVE means that check_set()
            was called for the result and it didn't find a canonical result.
        - The transitioner sets workunit.need_validate
            if there are min_quorum success results,
            and at least one is VALIDATE_STATE_INIT
            (no change - this is how it currently is)
        - validator:
            consider results that are both INIT and INCONCLUSIVE
            If check_set() doesn't find a quorum,
            set all result states to INCONCLUSIVE

        Thanks to Kjell Nedrelid (Rattledagger) for finding this.

        I spent the better part of the day trying to figure out

        ALLUSERS property based on the SETUPTYPE field would yield the right
        redirection of the default folders
        but it seems that the folder properties are handled via the
        MSI engine itself and without a bit more knowledge I'm not
        sure how to do it.  But this only affects
        those installing via the commandline or via some mass deployment
        scenario and so just throwing an error is okay.
        The errors describe the problem and how to fix it.

        The UI handles this automatically,
        so the average install scenario won't have to worry about this.

        of the p_vendor field.  This fixes a bug in the predictor project
        where new processors not already known to the OS were being flagged 
        as unknown and causing homogeneous redundancy to fail.

        The vendor ID was being detected, it just wasn't being included
        in the p_vendor field if a processor identifier was being detected.
        The OS aparently throws in an 'Unknown CPU typ' string in the cases
        where it cannot determine the proper string to put in the registry.

    - modify scheduler to handle bad host IDs gracefully.
        E.g.: it a project accidentally deletes its host table,
        things will eventually return to normal without
        users having to detach/reattach

        Old logic:
        look up host based on request.hostid
        look up user based on host.userid
        if user.authenticator != request.authenticator
            send error message and delay request

        New logic:
        look up host based on request.hostid
           If not found, create new host record and return its ID
        look up user based on request.authenticator
        if no such user
           send error message and delay request
        if host.userid != user.id

    -  Spent several hours tracking down a problem that turned
       out to be the fact that sizeof(bool) is not consistent
       even across gcc.  It's 4 bytes on gcc 2.95, 1 byte on 
       gcc 3.0, 1 bytes on gcc 3.3 on x86 and 4 bytes on gcc 3.3
       on OSX.   Botton line: one MUST eliminate bool from any
       library object that's meant to be used in the public
       API available from C.  I started fixing this across more
       of the API but got nervous that this would break the E@h
       builds and cause even more delay.  So did a minimal fix
       for now: changed boinc_time_to_checkpoint() to return int.

    - core client: change WORKUNIT::command_line from char[256] to std::string.
        This increases the limit on cmdline length from 256 to 8192
        (there's still a fixed-size buffer in the Unix startup code).

        It turns out there were no limitations on the server side.

        Also, change the representation in the core state file from
            <command_line>blah</command_line>
        to
            <command_line>
                blah
            </command_line>
        to accommodate long command lines (can be many lines).
        Each line is limited to 4096 chars
    - process_wu_template(): replace a 64KB buffer with a std::string.
        There's still a 64KB length limit,
        but this way overruns are caught and reported
        instead of create_work crashing.

    - make X/Unix graphics not fail if GLUT calls abort(3).  This
      generated a SIGARBT.  We now catch this signal.  In the
      graphics thread, this just restarts the graphics init process
      (with some sleep(2)ing if needed to prevent a busy fail loop).
      If the signal is caught in the main thread, we restore the old
      signal handler then raise(SIGABRT).

      David, note that when run standalone, killing the graphics
      window does NOT kill the process.  I think this is fine, but
      it doesn't correspond to what the documentation says.

    - When creating large numbers of WU which have large input files,
      the cost of computing the md5 sums becomes expensive.  Inserted
      a simple caching mechanism into the utility function
      process_wu_template().  For a given filename FILENAME, this looks
      for a file called FILENAME.md5, which contains the md5sum and
      length.  If the file exists, these values are used.  If not, such
      a file is created.  Since (I think) David is planning to have a
      database for files, this mechanism will eventually be obsolete.
      Right now it disabled by default.  Use -DBOINC_CACHE_MD5 to
      enable it.

    tools/
        backend_lib.C

Bruce  31 Dec 2004

    - Some improvements on the md5-info caching.  If the 'data' file is
      more recent than the 'md5info', then ignore md5info.  If md5info
      has *exactly* the right format (no extra or missing characters) then
      remove it in this case (only).  Don't write an md5info file if
      another file is found with the same name.  Thus if someone has two
      data files called X and X.md5, unless X.md5 has the exact correct
      syntax for an md5-info cache file, it won't be removed or used.
      Still disabled by default.  Use -DBOINC_CACHE_MD5 to enable it.

    - Improvements to ops/ pages, from Christian Beer.  Show all fields of
      WU.  Display status summaries based on mod-times.

    - Make 'grep logs' function assume default of *.log for filenames, unless
      specified.
