    Initial checkin of all files.
    The system is fairly feature-complete and
    runs a number of test cases correctly.
    Currently runs only on Linux.

    - Got things to compile on Solaris.
    - Pass in platform name, version number from Makefile
        (platform name comes from configure)

David A.        May 15 2002
    - Allow applications to have multiple files
        (e.g. scripts, libraries, pre- and post-processing programs).
        The app_version table now has an xml_doc field,
        which contains a list of <file_info> and <file_ref> elements.
        Note: the utility for adding applications (tools/add.C)
        still handles only single-file applications.
    - Changed IO_FILE_DESC to FILE_REF since it now represents
        an association of a file to workunit, result or application

    - Change the scheduling server to reduce database accesses.
        There's now a shared-memory segment that contains
        1) the platform, app, and app_version tables in their entirety;
        2) a fixed-size set of results ready to be sent,
            and their corresponding workunit.
        This segment is initialized and maintained by a new program
        called the "feeder" (sched/feeder.C) that should run
        whenever the scheduling server is up.
        Note: the scheduler still needs to be converted to fast CGI
    - Added handy interfaces for dealing with shared memory and semaphores.
    - Changed to utilities and scripts used for testing so that all
        server-specific names (paths and URLs) come from environment
        variables instead of being hardwired in the code.
        You'll want to add these to your .tcshrc or whatever.
        See the doc/install.html for details.

        files db/dependencies and client/config.status and client/config.log
                removed.  These are build time files and should not belong
                in the source tree.  They confuse subsequent builds.
        files updated: configure configure.in api/Makefile.in
                apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in db/Makefile.in
                db/mysql.h lib/Makefile.in sched/Makefile.in
                tools/Makefile.in

        These Makefile.in changes will allow the build to be performed
        outside the source tree.  This is convenient for several
        reasons.  The number one reason is that this allows the source
        tree to remain untouched by the build and therefore clean.
        This will prevent garbage build files from being checked in
        during a 'cvs commit'

        To run a build outside the source tree, simply make an object
        directory anywhere else that you would like to work, then just
        execute the configure script in the top-level boinc directory.
                $ mkdir boincobj
                $ cd boincobj
                $ <... path to source tree ...>/boinc/configure
                $ make > make.out 2>&1 &

        Note the examples in apps/Makefile.in and sched/Makefile.in
        of how to use the top_srcdir variable to locate include files
        in the source tree outside of the current directory.  Local
        references to other object files and libraries produced by
        the build remain as local .. references.

        The change to configure.in, (and thus configure) and db/mysql.h
        allow a proper identification of where the mysql .h files live.
        The SSL location of /usr/local/mysql/include is a bit non-standard.
        Most systems will have these in /usr/local/include/mysql

        Continue updating:
        Makefile.in config.guess configure configure.in api/Makefile.in
        apps/Makefile.in client/Makefile.in client/config.guess
        client/configure client/configure.in sched/Makefile.in
        tools/Makefile.in

        I have almost clean builds now on Solaris, Mac OS X,
        and UnixWare.  There appears to be a missing sched_shmem.h
        file from the source tree.

        There is still cruft in this configure system.  I will continue
        to work on it to clean it up.

    - Mostly implemented support for editing preferences,
        including project-specific preferences.
        Simplified the preferences scheme.
        Abandoned the idea of multiple preference sets per user;
        each user now has a single set of preferences.
        Got rid of the "prefs" database table;
        prefs are now just an XML and mod_time field in the user table.
        Haven't tested much yet.

    NOTE: these new features use the XML parsing features of PHP.
    This means that, on the BOINC web server,
    you must configure PHP with the --with-xml option,
    and you must make and install Apache.
    Also, you probably need to use a recent version of PHP;
    XML parsing was broken in PHP 4.0.4, but it works in 4.2.1.

        updating: client/configure client/configure.in
        client/net_xfer.C sched/Makefile.in sched/feeder.C

        This now builds just fine on Solaris, Linux and OpenUnix8.
        And only two tiny errors remain for a Mac OS X build.
        That being the specification of g++ in the sched/Makefile
        and statvfs() is not available on the Mac for
        the client/hostinfo_unix.C compile.  Need a substitute for
        that function on the Mac.

     Added safeguard to avoid removing root directory when
     BOINC_DOWNLOAD_DIR and BOINC_UPLOAD_ DIR environment
     variables aren't declared.

    - Ensure that preferences propagate from the server
        where they are updated to all hosts,
        Eliminated concept of "home project".
        Not tested yet.
        Also to do: replace the "accounts.xml" file with
        a file containing preferences.
    - Changed the way the client handles preferences.
        It now saves saves the exact XML it gets from the server,
        regardless of whether it can parse it all.
    - Fixed client parsing code to reflect new names for preferences
    - Changed the way the scheduling server handles prefs in
        a client/server interaction.
        If it gets newer prefs, it updates its own DB.
        If its DB has newer prefs, it sends them to client.
    - Fixed the test scripts so that they start/stop the feeder also.
        This required adding a "ready" flag to the shared-mem structure
        so that the scheduling server can find out if the feeder hasn't
        finished initializing the structure.
        Also required adding a "-synch" cmdline option to feeder.
    - added utility program (sched/show_shmem.C) for looking at
        scheduler shared memory
    - renamed "types.*" to "client_types.*" to avoid name conflict
        with system include files

David A     June 9 2002
    - added support for multiple URLs in a FILE_INFO
        (e.g. multiple servers from which the file can be downloaded)
    - started work on "persistent file transfer": a layer on top of
        FILE_XFER that manages restarting from failed connections,
        and that implements a give-up policy
    - added offset arguments to GET and PUT HTTP operations.
        NOTE: this will work fine for downloading files (GET)
        but we'll have to use something else for upload,
        since the standard PUT handler doesn't do offsets,
        and we need security functionality in any case.
    - added preliminary version of application API for
        communicating with core client.
    - use <file_ref> tags instead of <input_file> and <output_file>
        (makes things simpler)

    - Replaced the "accounts.xml" file with the user preferences ("prefs.xml").
        All non-host-specific project info is stored in this file;
        all host-specific project info is in client_state.xml.
        The PROJECT class is a union of the two.
        The logic for dealing with inconsistencies between
        prefs.xml and client_state.xml, and with updating in-memory
        and on-disk project lists in response to an update from a server,
        are a little tricky and are described in the code.
    - The prefs file can be overwritten by <preferences> in a scheduling
        server reply.  To prevent buggy servers from zeroing out
        users' project lists, the client makes sure there's at least
        one project, and backs up the old prefs.xml into a timestamped file.
    - The command-line client, if prefs.xml is absent,
        prompts the user for a project URL and authenticator,
        and creates an initial prefs.xml.
    - Each project now has a "master URL", with is its home page
        and also contains <scheduler> elements giving the URLs of
        its scheduling servers.
    - Added a class SCHEDULER_OP which encapsulates fetching and
        parsing a project's master page (if necessary),
        then making an RPC to one of its scheduling servers.
        TODO: add retry and failure logic.
    - A project can have more than one scheduling server.
        TODO: use all of them.
    - Project directories are stored in URL-encoded form.
        This allows project master URLs to have slashes, which is a necessity.

    - top-level Makefile now compiles RSAEuro/,
        and doesn't refer to sched_fcgi
    - Added <scheduler> element to html_user/index.html,
        making it the "master file" for test project.
        This file must be placed in the directory referred to by
        http://localhost/

David Anderson      July 4, 2002
    - Added support for upload authentication.
        This prevents bad guys from filling up data servers with trash.
        In this scheme, each <file_info> element sent from
        server to client includes a <max_nbytes> field limiting
        the size of the file, and includes a digital signature
        based on the project's "upload authentication" key pair.
        File uploads, instead of being done by PUT, are now done by POST
        to a CGI program, "file_upload_handler".
        The request header includes the signed <file_info>,
        and the CGI program verifies the signature and enforces the size limit.

        The affected pieces of code:
        - Added a function create_keys() in PHP test scripts
            to create encryption keys.  Call it from all script.
        - Added environment var BOINC_KEY_DIR saying where keys are kept.
        - The client must maintain an exact copy of each <file_info> XML,
            and of the signature, so that it can send to upload server.
        - Added a new variant of HTTP operation, HTTP_OP_POST2.
            The existing variants all use single files for request and reply.
            The new variant (used for file upload) has a request
            consisting of a memory block followed by (part of) a file;
            the reply is in memory.
            This avoid copying possibly huge upload files.
        - FILE_XFER objects now take a FILE_INFO as initialization argument;
            needed to convey authentication info.
            The upload variant creates and sends the authentication header.
        - Result templates now include a <max_nbytes> in each
            <file_info> element, and the URLs refer to the
            file_upload_handler (with no filename)
        - process_result_template() works differently, since it must
            generate a digital signature at the end of each <file_info>
        - create_work expects the name of a private key file.
        - Added crypt/md5 functions to sign/verify in memory,
            encode/decode ASCII data in memory, checksum in memory
    - Change "gmake" to "make" in top-level makefile.
        (alias make to gmake if this is a problem)

David A.    July 7, 2002
    - Added code signing.  All files associated with an app version
        (i.e. all executable files) must now be signed
        with the project's "code sign key".  The components include:
        - PROJECT has new field "code_sign_key", keep track of project's
            public code-signing key.
            Send this on each scheduler RPC.
        - The scheduling server stores the public code-signing key in memory.
            Send it to any client who doesn't have it.
            If the client has an old key,
            send them the new key signed with the old key.
            NOTE: this uses a scheme in which signatures are kept
            in files on the server, to avoid keeping private keys
            in online machines.  This should be documented.
        - The utility to add new app versions (add.C) adds a signature
            to the FILE_INFO element.
            NOTE: eventually the signing should be done offline.
        - FILE_INFO has a new boolean field "signature_required";
            set for all files associated with an app version
        - FILE_INFO has a new char* field "file_signature",
            which is the digital signature.
            Renamed upload authenticator from "signature" to "xml_signature"
            to avoid confusion.
        - Add function verify_downloaded_file(), called after every download;
            does MD5 or signature checking as needed.
        - Added some new functions for signature checking etc.
        - the client is now linked with the crypt library
    - Server-side errors should always include the name of the
        CGI program generating the error (scheduler or file upload handler)

David A     July 14 2002
    - Added reasonable policies for making scheduler RPCs.  Summary:
        - results now have a "report deadline".
            This may be useful for various purposes; for now,
            we use it to trigger scheduler RPCs to report results
        - The client now tries all a project's scheduler URLs in turn.
        - Projects have a "min_rpc_time", the earliest time to
            attempt another RPC (replaces next_request_time)
        - We maintain an RPC failure count for each project.
            If RPCs to all its URLs fail, we increment the count
            and set its min_rpc_time according to an exponential backoff
        - If a project is getting repeated RPC failures,
            reread and parse its master URL file every so often,
            in case the set of scheduler URLs has changed
        - When the client has a completed result past its deadline,
            it attempts to report it to that project.
        - When the client's estimated work falls below low water,
            it ranks projects according to their "resource deficit",
            then attempts RPCs to project in that order
            until the estimated work is above high water.
        NOTE: only the simplest case has been tested.
        We need to write test scripts for many other cases.
        NOTE: currently a result's report deadline is now+1000.
        We need to add a mechanism for setting it.
    - The CLIENT_STATE is now kept in a global variable instead of
        a local var of main().
        This is because SCHEDULER_OP needs to get at it.

    - Removed assembly optimized routines from RSAEuro, since we
      want to be platform independent and RSAEuro isn't a highly speed
      critical piece of code.  This had the side benefit of making the
      RSAEuro Makefile operate cleanly with make.
    - Fixed compiler warnings in RSAEuro demo programs.  Do we really
      need to keep these demo programs around?
    - Turned off the "secure" versions of memcpy, memset and memcmp.
      If needed, we can turn them back on.

David   July 28 2002
    - Changed the "add" utility so that, when adding an app version,
        you can give it the signature files (computed offline, presumably)
    - Changed the "add" utility so that an app version can consist
        of multiple files
    - Removed the notion of alpha/beta/production versions of an app.
        The same effect can be achieved by making separate projects
        for alpha and beta testing.
    - Apps now have a "minimum version number" on the server side -
        Don't send a WU unless there's an app version of that number or greater.
        Send the latest available version for the platform.
    - Clarified app version semantics:
        - Workunits don't have a version# on the server
        - When a client gets a workunit, it associates it with
            the most recent version of the application that it knows about
            (possibly one it received in the same reply message).
            It continues to use this version for this WU,
            even if it receives a later version while the WU is in progress.
        - On the client, no version #s are associated with apps

    PROGRAMMERS NOTE:
    - Removed checking of args in client_state.C
        This gunks up the code too much.  Let's do checking at higher level.
    - Comments should be in the imperative mood.
        "Write the state file", not "Writes the state file"
    - Comments should not be vague, e.g.
        // See if the application (name) associated with project p is
        // around here
        ... what does "around here" mean?
    - Leave a space between "if" and "("
    - When asserting that a pointer is non-NULL, just say "assert(p)".
        Saying "assert(p!=NULL)" is like saying if (flag==true)
    - Linux doesn't have -lsocket and -lnsl.
        Don't put them in Makefile.in.

    Various changes to API:
        - Added user, team names, credit info to APP_INIT_DATA
        - separate call for getting init data
        - separate call for returning fraction done
        - separated out fraction_done_update_period
        - moved graphics API to separate file
        - moved MFILE implementation to separate file
        - API timer is now 0.1 sec; use counters for various uses
            (checkpoint, fraction done, graphics)
        - changed name of API files to boinc_api.C,h

    - clarify distinction between
        "current CPU time"
        "CPU time at last checkpoint"
        "CPU time at start of current run"
        These are all kept in ACTIVE_TASK.
        RESULT now only has "final CPU time".

    - fixed bug in dir scanning (ahem...)

    - Coding style notes:
        - every fopen() MUST have a matching fclose() in same function
        - every malloc() MUST have a matching free() in same function
        - don't do a rewind() right after fopen()
        - write function calls as
            func(arg1, arg2);
            NOTE: there's a space after every comma, everywhere
        - write "if" statements as
            if (condition) {
                ...
            }
        - no explicit argument checking.  do this at higher level
        - functions in foo.C should be declared (as extern) in foo.h,
            AND NOWHERE ELSE.

      flags and represents what phase of the computation pipeline
      each result is currently at (downloading, computing, uploading,
      etc).
    - Added file upload/download resumption.  For downloads, this
      involves checking how big the local file is, then asking
      the server for the remainder of it.  For uploads, this
      involves asking the file_upload_handler how much of a certain
      file it already has, then sending the remainder of it.
      Both ul and dl resumption need to be thoroughly tested.

    - return user name, total credit, avg credit in scheduler RPC reply
        - save/restore these in client state file
    - client was trying to delete "checkpoint CPU file" in wrong directory
    - change CLIENT_STATE field from "version" to "core_client_version"

        (made some stuff public)
    - disable host performance measurement (temp! turn back on later)
    - removed comments of the form
        read_config_file();    // read config file
    - in HTTP op of type POST2, it's not an error if htp->file is zero
    - replaced hardwired HTTP_STATUS constants

    - in test/init.inc, don't use the init_db() from html_user/.
        define it separately here.

    - added DB fields to keep track of credit for hosts and result
    - added utility program "grant_credit" to grant credit for a result
    - removed some extraneous printfs
    - file upload handler error messages have user name
    - added a "poll_debug" flag; turn this on in case of infinite
        poll loop, to see what's causing the problem
    - added a "libboinc.a" target to lib/ Makefile.
        We might want to consider using a random library

    - Move account into (master URL, authenticator, per-project prefs)
        from the prefs.xml file into separate files, one per project
        (with names of the form account_XXX.xml, XXX = master URL).
        Adding new projects is now done using the core client
        (via GUI or command line) or by copying an existing account file,
        but NOT via web site; this was a major security weakness
        since bad guys could guess your web password,
        then register you for a bogus project.

        This change also involved the html_user files (not finished).

    - Further work on credit-granting.
        On each RPC, the scheduler computes a "credit per CPU second"
        for the host (linear combo of FP/int/mem speeds).
        For each result received, the scheduler computes a "claimed credit",
        the claimed CPU time times the credit per CPU second.
        It also sets the "need validate" flag of the WU.

        are stored in the database and in the core client,
        and the protocol (part of scheduler RPC) for maintaining them.

    - Changed the PHP framework for testing to facilitate
        multi-project, multi-host tests (all on one machine).
        See doc/test.html for details.
    - NOTE: the BOINC-related environment variables have changed.
        There are no longer any project-specific variables
        (e.g. database name, shmem key)
    - NOTE: the server programs now expect a configuration file
        in their directory.
    - TODO: enhance the testing framework to allow projects with
        multiple scheduling servers or data servers
    - TODO: enhance the testing framework to allow specification
        of failure and recovery of servers

    - changed things so a NULL in the DB won't crash db_mysql.C
    - parse_int() can now handle hex
    - "add" now takes args for DB name/passwd

    - updated test scripts to use new framework
    - got rid of some obsolete scripts

David   Oct 8 2002
    - progress getting "make_work" (dummy work generator) to work.
        Removed the <name> element from workunit XML,
        and the <name> and <wu_name> elements from result XML;
        instead, the scheduler server inserts these as it sends them.

        This simplifies things a little in work generation,
        and removes some redundancy.

        Everything seems to work now except that the file upload signature
        ends up being wrong, which is expected,
        and it shows that the security mechanism works.
    - added test_loop.php, which simulates a system that is complete
        except for the validation process.

    - Change make_work so that it generates results with
        valid file upload signatures.
        Instead of directly creating new DB.result records,
        it now calls create_result() to do the work.
    - Changed create_result() to take a name suffix
    - Factored key parsing into a function
    - Removed random-WU-name feature from create_work;
        names should be generated at a higher level
    - added a key-generation function to test.inc

    - remove the nresults_* fields from the workunit table.
        These are redundant, and they weren't being used.
        Furthermore, they were being updated in a way that
        overwrote other updates.

    - floating-point values are passed to/from MySQL using sprintf and atof.
        The "%f" format, by default, uses 6 decimal places of precision.
        This is inadequate for small values, e.g. 1e-7.
        So db_mysql.C should use %.12e instead of %f.

    - fixed bug that caused file upload authentication failure
    - The user web site now correctly provides download of the core client,
        as long as you add a core client app version in your test script
        (see test_uc.php for an example)
    - version numbers now come from env vars BOINC_MAJOR_VERSION
        and BOINC_MINOR_VERSION.  You must set these in your .cshrc
    - Web server config file must have
        DefaultType application/octet-stream
        so that core client is saved as file, not displayed
    - replaced "db_name" file in html_user, html_ops directories with

    - If request to scheduling server is from client with wrong version,
        return an error
    - Change the file upload handler protocol a little:
        1) add core client version to request
        2) add enclosing <data_server_request> element
    - The file upload handler returns an error if client has wrong version
    - Split up long function in file_upload_handler.C
    - Changed name of feeder trigger file so that it works

    - change scheduling server so that by default it doesn't
        store request and reply messages in files;
        add "-use_files" option to do this
    - added validation step to test_uc.php;
        this computes and grants credit
    - added "-one_pass" option to validate
    - split scheduler trigger files into two:
        stop_server: used for all server components;
            NOT deleted after reading
        reread_db: used to tell feeder to reread DB
            deleted after reading

David   Dec 5 2002
    - added initial support for aborting runaway applications:
        check for exceeding maximum CPU time or disk usage
    - create_work now takes max_cobblestones and max_disk_usage
    - split ACTIVE_TASK::suspend into separate suspend, resume functions

    A bunch of coding style notes:
    - changed ACTIVE_TASK::request_exit() so that it doesn't sleep.
        ==> The core client should never sleep <==
        This would cause a period of non-response in the GUI client
    - changed file_delete() so that it doesn't sleep or retry.
        Should eventually add garbage-collection mechanism
    - Most functions NEED to be implemented in the client.
        So e.g. instead of
        #if HAVE_SIGNAL_H
            unix code
        #endif
        #ifdef _WIN32
            win code
        #endif
        we should have
        #ifdef _WIN32
            win code
        #else
            unix code
        #endif
        Any compilation that doesn't match anything should cause a
        compile-time error
    - change file_size(), dir_size(), CLIENT_STATE::total_disk_usage() etc.
        so that:
        1) they report file size in double, not int
        2) they return an error code, not a size overloaded with error code;
            size is return in reference param
    - All fopen()s should check for zero pointer and return ERR_FOPEN
    - Omit "this->" wherever it appears

    - added field client_state to result

    - added some more functionality to repor_project_error()
      It now adds the following info to stderr_out of the result:

      <message>message if any passed</mesage>
      <active_task_state>%d</active_task_state>
      <exit_status>%d</exit_status>
      <signal>%d</signal>
      if download had failures
         "<download_error>\
          "    <file_name>%s</file_name>
          "    <error_code>%d</error_code>\n"
          "    </download_error>\n"


      if upload  had failures
        same as above

      if coudln't start active task for result (in which err_num should be set)
        "<couldnt_start>%d</couldnt_start>\n"


    - The error mechanism right now is such that any failures
    regarding file_infos (download, upload or whatever)
    are recorded in the status of the file_infos and then garbage collect
    called report_project_error.
    However errors regarding starting and ending active tasks
    are reported from app.C and cs_apps.C.

    - Have process_wu_template() fill in the file size as well as the MD5.
        This necessitated changing the format of WU templates,

        it's input files are copied along with it,
        with some random numbers added to the end,
        so for each new work_unit there are a set of associated new input files

    -fixed a little bug in file_deleter

    -note: strtok() changes the original string passed to it, kind of dangerous to use

    -from parse.h : replace_element() is now in use ( I used it for make_work.C)

    NOTE: there must be an index for each field or combination of fields
        that we do a "select" on!!

David  Jan 6 2003
    - change all server programs to do logging the same way:
        - all log entries written to stderr
        - write date/time at start of log entries
        - don't include program or user name in log entries
    - client: when get no work from project,
        don't back off if we're in exit_when_idle mode
    - added ob_end_flush() call in test.inc so that PHP test scripts
        have unbuffered output
    - added other backend phases (validate, file_delete) to test_loop.php
    - PROGRAMMER NOTES:
        - don't use tab chars in files
        - split long comments into separate lines
        - "extern" should never appear in a .C file
        - Don't use member function names that conflict with global functions
            (e.g. CLIENT_STATE::exit(); use cleanup_and_exit() instead)

    - Added stripchart scripts for getting DB info

    - Split off dummy assimilation function from the main program.
    - Added new stripchart scripts for logging DB counts
        and directory sizes

    NOTE: it looks like shared memory segment is at same address
    in feeder and cgi.  So it's OK to use pointers in it.

        All programs now use lock files to prevent duplicate execution.
        A new program "start_servers" reads config.xml and starts servers.
    - Added "user-friendly name" field to platform, so that users
        see e.g. "Windows 95/98/XP" instead of "windows_intelx86"

    - added "opaque" fields to result and workunit tables.
        (allows projects to cross-reference to their science DB)
    - added "venue" field to host (home/school/work)
        This has two goals:
        1) provides a basis for multiple preference sets
            (one each for home/school/work)
        2) provides another account breakdown for stats
    - added "venue" field to user
        This is the default venue, for newly created hosts
    - simplified preferences:
        For account setup, all preferences are now on one form
        (different forms for new/return users)
        For preference editing, preferences are now in two groups
            - project preferences, including resource share,
                venue, and per-project prefs
            - global prefs (called "BOINC prefs" in user interface)
    - fixed bug where user/host credits in client state file were giant numbers

David  Feb 19 2003
    - Added scheme for verified user update of email address
        When user updates email address, their email address in the DB
        is set to a "munged" form that includes a random string,
        and an email is sent to the new address that includes a
        URL that they must visit to verify the change.
    - The same mechanism is used on account creation;
        the email DB field is initially set to a munged form.
        This prevents hackers from adding entries to the DB
        with other peoples' email addresses.
    - Separate logic for update email address from update other user info;
        remove combinatorial logic (?) for update other user info

    - changed windows graphics handling.

        it to draw on the window.

    - Implemented network throughput limits, part of global prefs.
        There are separate limits for upload and download.
        Implementation: the NET_XFER_SET objects now has fields for
        1) the max # bytes/sec up and down (from global prefs)
        2) the limit on bytes that can be xferred this second
            Can go negative.  If it's negative, don't include
            sockets in select().
            Replenish every second.
        This replaces an implementation that didn't work
    - Reimplemented the way network throughput is measured.
        The old way measured throughput for each file xfer, and kept an average.
        This doesn't work with multiple simultaneous xfers.
        The new way uses a NET_STATS::poll() function.
        If there has been an active file xfer during the last poll period
        (new logic in NET_XFER_SET lets you find this out)
        then you add the duration of the polling period,
        and the number of bytes transferred.
        The reported throughput is averaged with throughput
        from previous sessions of the core client.
    - Increased file xfer blocksize from 4KB to 16KB
    - Got rid of dynamic buffer allocation in NET_XFER
    - Renamed "water days" to "work buf days" everywhere
    NOTE:
        clock() measure calling process CPU time, not time of day.
        Use time(0) if you want time of day.

    - added PHP code for creating/editing/deleting multiple pref sets
        See "prefs.inc" for a description of the XML format.
        Prefs are divided into two subsets (global and project).
        For each subset there is a mandatory "primary" version
        and optional versions for home, school, and work.
        The prefs display/editing code has been consolidated
        and parameterized (subset = global or project,
        venue = none, home, school, work).
        This actually simplifies things a little.

    - use venue-specific prefs on client side:
        - schedule server passes <host_venue> element in scheduler reply
            (but only when it passes back new global prefs)
        - when parsing global prefs, if find a matching
            <venue> element, parse its contents and ignore all else
        - when passing project-specific prefs to app,
            look for matching <venue> element
    - changed XML syntax of venue-specific prefs: instead of
        <home>...</home>, e.g., use
        <venue name="home">...</venue>
    - added safe_strncpy(): always adds zero byte at end.
        Use this instead of strncpy().

    - new show_message() conventions (not fully implemented):
        - all error conditions should call show_message() with MSG_ERROR
        - all log writes should use show_message() with MSG_INFO
        TODO: change Win implementation of show_message() to
        write to window AND to file (stderr.txt or stdout.txt)
    - messages are now timestamped and show project name
    - use start_table() and row2() more uniformly in user HTML
    - user HTML: show message if can't connect to DB
    - standardize terminology in user HTML: "general prefs",
        "default computer location", etc.

      into sched_util.C
    - Added stop_server checking to more server programs
    - Added update_stats program to periodically update exponential average
      credit for users and hosts, and to update team credit by summing member credit
    - Added db_sum, db_query_double to retrieve sums of columns (used by update_stats)
    - Added db_user_sum_team_expavg_credit, db_user_sum_team_total_credit,

        - changed windows graphics handling again.  client/app messaging
                now mainly consists of the client polling the app windows,
                with apps messaging the client when they change modes.
                moved most of this into the client's child screensaver window.

    - changed client exit to send a quit request to the apps, wait 1
      second for them to quit, then kill them if they're still open.
      This allows applications to do a final checkpoint before
      quitting, rather than lose their recent work

    - Changed app->client communication to use shared memory rather
      than files.  The client sets up a shared memory segment when
      starting the app. The app attaches to it and writes XML tags
      into a 4K text buffer every second.
    - The shared memory communication has been tested by hand under
      Windows and UNIX (Mac OS X).  We should write test scripts for
      it to make sure.

    - Changed all occurrences of "time test" and "speed test"

Erik  May 6 2003
    - Added a notion of "transient" and "permanent" errors on file uploads.
        A permanent error is returned by the file upload handler if
            - the request is malformed
            - filename includes ".."
            - the signature is bad
            - the file size is larger than allowed
        PERS_FILE_XFER checks for this return from FILE_XFER
        and gives up immediately.
    - FILE_XFER now always parses the server response (not just for file size)
    - Added some missing error checks to FILE_XFER
    - Punted on the timezone-related ifdefs:
        added hardwired ifdefs for linux and unix.
        Need to revisit this
    - in PHP test library, add a provision for multiple files per application

    - Added a new class SS_LOGIC that encapsulates the core client's
        screensaver-related logic.
        It tries to get graphics-capable apps to provide graphics,
        and if necessary it draws logo-based graphics or blanks the screen.
    - Changed ACTIVE_TASK.app_client_shm from a pointer to an object.

Erik  May 13 2003
    - Added a notion of "tentative" project.
        This means that the (URL, account ID) pair hasn't been verified,
        i.e. we haven't fetched the master page, found a scheduler,
        and done a scheduler op that verified the account ID.
        If anything fails for a tentative project, call project_add_failed().
        in the cmdline version this prints an error message,
        deletes all evidence of the project, and exits.
        TODO: implement for GUI
    - Make write_account_file() into a member function of PROJECT.
    - Got rid of CLIENT_STATE::change_project().
        The user must detach and attach.
    - CLIENT_STATE::quit_project() now takes a PROJECT*, not an int.
        Need to change the GUI code.
    - got rid of separate WIN_32 implementations of
        make_project_dir(), remove_project_dir(), make_slot_dir().
        THIS IS THE WRONG LEVEL FOR PLATFORM-DEPENDENT CODE!
        Instead, added boinc_mkdir() and boinc_rmdir()
    - added implementation docs for screensaver logic
    - test_uc.php: wait for a second before running client.
        On fast computers the client runs before feeder has seeded shmem.

Erik  May 16 2003
    - set FILE_INFO::upload_offset to -1 before restarting file upload.
        This forces file size check, so that upload can resume
        with nonzero offset.
        NOTE: THE USE OF "SPECIAL VALUES" (LIKE -1) IS DISCOURAGED
    - don't set RESULT::state to NEW after parse.
        This caused completed results to start over.
    - PERS_FILE_XFER::start_xfer() is int, not bool
    - better messages on file transfer failure and project backoff
    - better message from scheduler if wrong major version
    - file upload handler logging is on by default

Erik  May 19 2003
    - added support for user-selected files to be included
        as part of an app_version.
        If there is an element of the form
            <app_file>
                <url>X</url>
                <open_name>Y</open_name>
            </app_file>
        in a user's project preferences,
        then for every APP_VERSION that is sent to the user,
        elements of the form
            <file_info>
                <name>X'</name>
                <url>X</url>
            </file_info>
            ... and in the <app_version> element
            <file_ref>
                <file_name>X'</file_name>
                <open_name>Y</open_name>
            </file_ref>
        are added to the app version's XML description,
        where X' is an escaped version of X.
        This can be used (for example) to allow applications to
        have user-specified images in their graphics
    - Handle it correctly if the "insert" part of a file transfer fails
    - The "main program" of an app version is the one labeled <main_program/>
        (not necessarily the first one)
    - Only files labeled <executable/> are required to be signed
    - added copyright notice to some files
    - added sgets() for parsing a string that is made up of multiple lines
    - write MD5 checksum elements only if checksum is present
    - created escape_url_readable

    TODO: app_versions are currently treated as immutable by client.
        Need to change this.

            client calculates it
        - CPU time bound is estimated time * 2
        - disk bound is rsc_disk
        TODO: finish implementing this
    - When an app finishes, see if any of the output files is larger
        than its max_nbytes.
        If so set its status to ERR_FILE_TOO_BIG.
        This will prevent the client from trying to upload it.

    - abort applications that exceed max disk usage
        Do this check at most global_prefs.disk_interval seconds
    - moved code that detaches core/app shared memory from
        CLIENT_STATE::handle_finished_apps() to
        ACTIVE_TASK::check_app_exited()
        NOTE: ACTIVE_TASK IS SUPPOSED TO ENCAPSULATE TASK IMPLEMENTATION
    - CLIENT_STATE::handle_finished_apps(): don't view an app as finished
        if it's in PROCESS_ABORT_PENDING state
    - got rid of ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll_time();
        moved its functionality to ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll()
    - broke up ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll() into subfunctions:
        get_cpu_times(), check_app_exited(),
        check_max_cpu_exceeded(), check_max_disk_exceeded()
    - change function names:
        get_cpu_time() -> get_cpu_time_via_os()
        check_app_state() -> get_cpu_time_via_shmem()
        handle_running_aps() -> handle_finished_apps()

        trailing '_'s so if such files are found, rename them and their

    - Astropulse: created autoconf and automake files
    - Astropulse: if output file doesn't exist yet when opening, write a

David  Aug 15 2003
    - changed logic so that create_work doesn't create any results;
        this is left to the transitioner, since it does this anyway.
        This required adding a result_template field to the workunit table,
        which is the original result template macro-substituted
        with the upload URL

    - Client: project reset wasn't working in cmdline version
        if there was an active task
        (because kill_task() blindly sends a KILL signal,

       There are now separate estimates and bounds for FP ops.
       Nothing about integer ops.
       Disk and memory numbers are bounds.

       This changes the client/server RPC format and the DB format,

        This is a powerful argument in favor of using "string" everywhere!
    NOTE: in spite of fix, test_uc.py isn't working.  Problem w/ proxy?
    - HTTP_OP_SET::poll(): if header read_reply() returns nonzero,
        set htp->io_ready to false (to avoid lots and lots of spurious recv()s)
    - in test scripts: if TEST_STOP_BEFORE_RUN is set,
        go into sleep loop rather than exiting
        (to avoid deleting the test setup)

        A new class DB_CONN represents a connection to a database.
        Old functions like boinc_db_open() etc. are members of this class.
        The connection to the BOINC database is represented by
        by a global object "boinc_db" of this class.
        You're free to have others

    - working on python code:
        - database back end:
            - database objects are now weakly hashed, with a cached list of

            - new count() methods with arbitrary arguments like find()
        - misc. bug fixes

        - make_project and setup_project modify database directly instead of
          calling old_add

        - make_project doesn't add platform, app, or app_version

Karl 2003/09/07
    - changed all user-visible cobblestone numbers to use a new
      format_credit() function which does sprintf %.3f

    - allow sorting top_{team,user,host}s.php by either expavg_credit or
      total_credit (default expavg_credit)

    html_user/*.php, *.inc

    - changed "Results uploaded" to "Outputs uploaded"

    Sched/

David  Sept 11 2003
    - transitioner: set file delete state to READY only if it's currently INIT
        This should make file_deleter more efficient,
        because each WU/result is file-deleted only once.
        Also means that unlink()s should always succeed
    - file deleter: print retval of unlink() (should always be zero)

    sched/
        file_deleter.C
        transitioner.C

Karl 2003/09/15
    - fixed transitioner bug where usage of `unsigned int' instead of signed
      int caused 400k results to be generated.

    Sched/

Eric K. 16-Sep-2003
    - added "const" qualifiers to prototype for create_work and some others
      where appropriate.  I didn't fix all the API routines where parameters

    No code changes.  This is the branch point for the seti beta.  The tag is:

        setiathome-4.xx_all_platforms_beta

    error and the resulting seti client links without error with the resulting
    boinc libs.

David  Sept 21 2003
    - Added mechanism for marking results as COULDNT_SEND:
        When the scheduler finds that a result is infeasible
        for a host, it increments the "infeasible_count" in the work array.
        When the feeder finds that too many results in the array
        have nonzero infeasible_count, it marks some of them
        as COULDNT_SEND and removes them from the array

        boinc_db.h
    sched/
        feeder.C
        handle_request.C
        sched_shmem.h

David  Sept 21 2003
    - Partly debugged the above changes:
    - The feeder's result enumeration should have no limit;
        otherwise it may enumerate the same results over and over
    - If the infeasible_count of a result a threshold (MAX_INFEASIBLE_COUNT)
        the feeder marks it as couldnt_send.
        This prevents a situation where results sit in the work array
        forever, their infeasible_count approaching infinity
    - Added show_shmem to sched/ Makefile, and fleshed it out a bit
    - Show hostID correctly when get RPC from wrong major version

    NOTE: still haven't exercised the case where a result is marked COULDNT_SEND

    Modified DB_CONN::open() to support "db_name@host" syntax for remote

David  Sept 23 2003
    - Don't reference-count WUs for results that are ready to report
        (since don't need their input files anymore)
        NOTE: this means that RESULT.wup may be zero.
        Much check before dereferencing.
    - Changed "ready_to_ack" to "ready_to_report"
        (Ack is server->client, not client->server)
    - Changed "server_ack" to "got_server_ack"
    - Moved CLIENT_STATE integrity-check code to a new file (check_state.C)
        In general it would be nice to move stuff out of client_state.C;

    - Create an XML entity encoder/decoder for single byte entities.  In new
      files lib/xml_util.[Ch].  Encoder will make the following translations.
        '>' => "&gt;"
        '<' => "&lt;"
        '&' => "&amp;"
        "'" => "&apos;"
        '"' => "&quot;"
        other unprintable -> "&#nnnd;"
      The decoder recognizes a larger number of translations for single byte
      entities found in XML/HTML.

        and can assume that result->wup is always valid.
        I can't remember why we did this, but it creates too many problems.

        display status as "Download failed" instead of "Download" etc.

    - rewrote make_project and related; a lot of restructuring:

        - make_project only creates the project and database but doesn't add
          platform, app, app_version, or core_version.  Use `add' for these.
        - database actions are through MySQLdb, removing need for mysql client
          binary.

        to represent an OpenGL texture (including its ID and size).
    - Modify draw_texture() to not change the aspect ratio of the picture;
        it shrinks the image in one dimension or the other, and centers
        it in the allotted space
    - Add a GRAPH_DRAW_STYLE field to REDUCED_ARRAY

    - Don't send two results from the same WU in a single RPC
        Note: this is a weak but possibly sufficient step towards not sending
        multiple results from the same WU to one user.
    - Scheduler: before updating a result, reread it from the database.
        What's in shared memory may be way out of date.

    - fixed bug that caused project disk usage to be reported as zero
    - Added debugging printfs (enabled by #define DEBUG)
        to wingui_mainwindow.cpp.  These write to C:/temp/core.txt.
    - In CMyApp::InitInstance(), changed 2nd arg of CreateMutex
        from false to true.  This matches "1 instance" code samples from web.
        Thought it might fix startup bug - no.
    - Added debugging printfs (enabled by #define DEBUG) into screensaver;
        causes it to write info to C:/temp/boinc_scr.txt
    - Removed CREATE_NO_WINDOW and IDLE_PRIORITY flags from
        CreateProcess() call in screensaver.
        These aren't listed in the MSDN man page; are they needed?
    - slight change to startup logic in screensaver:
        - send it a BOINC_SS_START message only if it's already running
            (not needed if start it ourselves, since we give it -saver arg)
        - don't wait for 3 seconds after starting it
    - In the cmdline passed to the core client from screensaver,
        make argv[0] the real path of the executable.
        Thought this might fix startup bug - no.
    - Change "start_saver" to "started_by_screensaver".  Truth in advertising.

        Turns out the need to be in SetMode because it creates a new
        window every time.

    - Parse project-specific prefs correctly (i.e. based on venue)
        These prefs are read from account files.
        Account files are read before the client state file is parsed.
        This presented a problem because the host venue,
        which is needed to decide which project prefs to use,
        is kept in the client state file.
        So I added a new function, parse_venue(), that gets the
        host venue from the state file; this is done before parsing account files.
    - Also added <project_name> element to account file so that we can
        display that correctly in message about project prefs

    - Added a mechanism allowing applications to change their graphics
        "on the fly" in response to new project preferences:
        - Added a new message type <reread_prefs/> to the
            core->app graphics segment
        - When the graphics framework (windows_opengl.C) gets this message,
            it calls an application function app_graphics_reread_prefs().
            This function can call boinc_parse_init_data_file() (see below)
            to get the new prefs
    - Core client: when get new project preferences,
        write new init_data.xml files for all running apps,
        and send them <reread_prefs/> messages.
        New functions:

    - Changed the way that user-supplied files (e.g. logos and images) work.
        OLD WAY: (see checkin by "Erik", May 19 2003)
            the scheduling server scans the user's project prefs
            and inserts <file_info> and <file_ref> elements
            into the <app_version> element,
            making it look like the user-supplied files are associated
            with the app.
            This necessitated the slightly kludgy "optional"
            attribute of FILE_INFO, so that slow-downloading
            user-supplied files wouldn't defer work indefinitely.
        NEW WAY:
            The scheduling server is not involved.
            PROJECT now has list "user_files" of FILE_REFS
            FILE_INFO now has an attribute "is_user"file"
            - When parse project prefs from account file,
                or when get new project preferences from server,
                convert <app_file> elements to entries in project.user_files
            - new function ACTIVE_TASK::link_user_files() makes links
                from slot dir to all user files that are present
            - when the download of a user file completes,
                tell running apps to reread prefs
                (they'll find the user file now)
            - garbage collection reference-counts user files
            - got rid of "optional" mechanism
        With this change, user-supplied images in graphics are updated
        dynamically when the user edits prefs on web,
        then does "Get Preferences" in core client
    - Handling of completed file transfers moved from
        PERS_FILE_XFER::poll() to CLIENT_STATE::handle_pers_file_xfers().
        (this job of PERS_FILE_XFER is to transfer the file,
        not deal with its contents)
    - changed benchmarks defaults from 1GFLOPs to 10MFLOPs;
        prevents slow computers from being inundated with work

David  4 Nov 2003
    - scheduler now respects disk usage limits.
        Scheduler request message now includes BOINC disk usage,
        both total and for this project.
        The scheduler parses user's global preferences
        to get disk-related prefs,
        and computes the max storage that can be used.
        It will send only as many results as fit within this limit.
        NOTE: this is still deficient in several ways:
            - it assumes that all results will use all their storage
                simultaneously.  It doesn't take into account that
                some results may use large storage while running,
                but not before or after.
            - it doesn't take into account storage that has been
                committed (to this or other projects) but not yet in use.
            - there's no mechanism for enforcing resource shares for storage,
                or for dynamic adjustment
    - print exit codes in both dec and hex

David  5 Nov 2003
    - The following changes fix core client crashes that occur when
        reset a project, then quickly detach from the project
        while downloads are occurring.
        In once instance, this produced a state file that caused
        the client to crash each time it started up.
    - when parse an ACTIVE_TASK in state file,
        verify that the corresponding result is in the right state
        (RESULT_FILES_DOWNLOADED, with got_server_ack and ready_to_report false)
    - when parse a RESULT in state file,
        make sure it's consistent: in particular,
        if got_server_ack or ready_to_report is true,
        the state must be RESULT_FILES_UPLOADED

David  6 Nov 2003
    - cleaned up CPU time chaos
        OLD:
            An app measures and reports its CPU time when it calls
            boinc_time_to_checkpoint(), which may be infrequent.
            The reported CPU time is for the whole process
            (including graphics thread: wrong)
            If the core client doesn't get a message within 5 seconds,
            it measures app CPU time externally,
            with ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_os()
            (this can cause reported CPU time to jump up and down).
            Ambiguous function boinc_cpu_time(): does it return time for
            calling thread only?  time since WU start?
        NEW:
            An app measures and reports its CPU time every 1 sec,
            from the timer interrupt.
            The reported CPU time is only for the worker thread.
            Replace boinc_cpu_time() with:
                boinc_thread_cpu_time(): CPU time of calling thread
                    (also used by graphics_cpi.C to measure rendering time)
                boinc_wu_cpu_time(): CPU time of WU so far (for graphics thread)
            Notes:
            - The app no longer needs to call boinc_time_to_checkpoint()
                with any regularity
            - the timer interrupt handler runs on a different thread,
                so we record the worker thread handle.
    - use double rather than time_t in calculation of estimated completion
    - Code cleanup:
        removed some declarations from boinc_api.h
            (Don't declare internal functions in a .h file!)
        removed using_opengl, write_frac_done
        made things static that should be static

        Solution: make a copy of aid.wu_cpu_time at startup and use the copy.

        and there are unsent results, but none can be sent,
        then the client gets an explanatory message: either
            - no app version available
            - insufficient disk
            - insufficient memory
            - host is too slow
        This involved creating a WORK_REQ structure that gets passed
        around, to avoid huge numbers of arguments
    - modify the scheduler so that if either
        1) the shared-mem segment is absent or
        2) the DB can't be opened
        then it writes a "project temporarily down for maintenance"
        message instead of just exiting

    - Changes to a running app's checkpoint_cpu_time
        (as conveyed in shared-memory msgs)
        were not triggering state file writes.
        As a result the CPU time of a result was, in general,
        returning to zero after a reboot.
    - ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll(): if any task's checkpoint_cpu_time has changed,
        trigger a client state file write
    - renamed ACTIVE_TASK_SET::get_cpu_times() -> get_status_msgs()
        Also, this function now returns boolean:
        whether any checkpoint_cpu_time has changed
    - renamed ACTIVE_TASK::get_cpu_time_via_shmem() -> get_status_msg()
        (since the message includes more than just CPU time)
    - removed ACTIVE_TASK.last_status_msg_time (not used)
    - factored out logic to compute frac_rate_of_change
        and put it in a separate function
        (ACTIVE_TASK::estimate_frac_rate_of_change())

            if (!found) continue;

        PROJECT now has separate fields for

            project_specific_prefs (only project specific,
                and only for current venue).
        These had been confused before.
        The account_*.xml file has the project_prefs,
        enclosed in a <project_preferences> element
    - updated document about account files
    - Changed project prefs from char[MAX_BLOB_LEN] to string,
        and added variant of copy_element_contents() for string.

    - Extend the "start" script to handle remote tasks.  Summary:
        - config.xml has a mandatory config.host element
            (for the project's main server)
            and optional task.host elements (default is main host)
        - Host X has its own run state file, run_state_X.xml
        - Host X has its own pid directory, pid_dir_X/
        - Host X has its own log directory, log_X/
        - Host X has its own lock file for "start", start.lock.X
        - run_daemons() etc. run tasks only for the current host
        - When run on the main host, start builds a list of other hosts
            and runs itself (with same cmdline, using ssh)
            on each of the other hosts.

        Notes:
        1) I didn't add <host>*</host> capability;
            it's not clear that we need this
        2) Output formatting could be improved

    - Fixed bugs involving buffer overflow of BLOB fields.
        These can be up to 65536 bytes in MySQL.
        MAX_BLOB_SIZE was defined as 4K.
        strcpy2() didn't do any buffer size checking.
        A team description was over 8K long.
        This caused db_dump to crash.
        Solution:
        - strcpy2() now defined as a macro that uses the sizeof()
            its destination, and doesn't overwrite it.
        - MAX_BLOB_SIZE replaced with 2 symbols:
            MEDIUM_BLOB_SIZE for fields used by BOINC
                defined as 4K so as to not increase shmem usage
            LARGE_BLOB_SIZE for fields with user-supplied text
                defined as 64K

    - We have the same gcc version problem with solaris that we do with
      linux whereby if the  version number of libstdc++.so on the run
      machine is different than that on the build machine, the loader
      fails.  However, on solaris you cannot just say gcc -static as there
      are dynamic only versions of some needed libs, namely libdl and
      libaio.  I tried to use the -Xlinker gcc option which theoretically
      should allow us to specify the link (collect2) line in precise
      detail.  But -lstdc++ kept showing up twice with one occurrence
      being outside my -Xlinker -B -Xlinker static directive.  So I
      hand crafted a collect2 line and placed it in a file - collect2_line.
      Sourcing this file produces an executable that will load and run
      across gcc versions (and solaris versions for that matter).  I
      don't like it but it works.

      IMPORTANT NOTE.  After sourcing collect2_line you have to
      re-"hard link" the executable boinc_client to a proper
      name with the correct version.

    - Add <db_host> element to config file and SCHED_CONFIG.
        Add db_host argument to DB_CONN::open()
        All server programs can now be run on different machine from MySQL
    - Add "deprecated" field to app table
        Deprecated apps are treated as non-existent
    - Add "deprecated", "user_friendly_name" to platform table
        Deprecated platforms are treated as non-existent
    - Add new value for validate_state: VALIDATE_STATE_NO_CHECK
        This indicates the the result's WU had an error,
        and the result will never be validated.
        Such results are not counted towards pending credit.
        Transitioner: when set a WU error flag,
            change its results VALIDATE_STATE_INIT -> NO_CHECK

    - changed the way tab windows are hidden/shown in windows gui,
      to fix intermittent window repainting bug.
        old:
           <hide all windows by setting turning off WS_VISIBLE style>
           <show selected window by turning on WS_VISIBLE style>
           <redraw window>
           The trouble with this technique is that it does not
           activate the window, so it will only work if the
           window becomes active *before* the redraw takes place.
        new:
           <hide all visible windows via ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)>
           <redraw selected window >
           <show selected window via ShowWindow(SW_SHOW)>

    - add result.exit_status field to DB
        Currently this is populated by the server,
        if there's a <exit_status> element in the reply's stderr_out.

    - added boinc_fopen() function.
       This should be used in lieu of fopen(), in both core client and apps,
       whenever opening a file for writing.
       This is because on Windows a utility program like FileFind
       might have the file open at that exact moment,
       and your fopen() will fail.
       boinc_fopen() deals with this by sleeping for 3 seconds and trying again.
       NOTE: in SETI@home there's a much fancier function
       that does exponential backoff up to one hour.
       Can't do that here, in part because the GUI requires
       the core client to be nonblocking.

    - Fixed errors in deciding whether more work was needed,
        and if so how much.
        This caused a situation where hosts would repeatedly
        ask the server for more work
        (which, because of recent anti-spam mechanism, would return no work)
        The error involved the confusion of two quantities:
        1) work buffer
            This is an estimate of the time (measured in days)
            until this host will finish all current work.
            It reflects the host's "active_frac" and the # of CPUs.
        2) CPU time
            This is an estimate of the CPU time a WU will take on this host.
            It does not reflect active_frac or # of CPUs
        Example error: current_work_buf_days() didn't reflect active_frac and ncpus.
        So we underestimated the work buffer, and requested work inappropriately.

        NOTE: the <work_req_seconds> field in a request message
        is in units of CPU time, NOT work buffer

    - Fixed errors in estimating the wallclock duration of a WU
        (used in feasibility test in scheduler):
        Should divide, not multiply, by active_frac;
        should not multiply by # cpus
    - add a "deprecated" flag to app_version.
        If you decide that a particulate app_version has problems,
        you can deprecate it.
        The scheduler advertises the latest non-deprecated version.
        NOTE: this only is effective if core clients have the following:
    - Changed the policy assigning an app_version to a WU
        Use the version included in the scheduler reply,
        and if there is none, use the latest version.
        This means that if a project deprecates an app_version,
        clients won't use it.

    - 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

            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

    - 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

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

    - 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.

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.

    - 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"

            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

Rom    Feb 2 2004
    - Added a diagnostics library for project clients
        Currently only windows specific stuff has been implemented for the
        BOINCASSERT and BOINCTRACE.
        BOINCASSERT has been defined as an ASNI C assert
        for all other platforms.

        boinc_trace(), boinc_diag_init(), and boinc_diag_cleanup()
        need to be defined for all the other platforms.
    - Moved stderr redirection into boinc_diag_init() for the Windows client.

    - Updated the CreateProcess part of app.c to report OS Errors based on the above funtion.
    - Removed the seperate header blocks for both release and debug and made them the same.
        clears up one customer bug on Windows NT 4.0 platforms
    - Changed the 1400 version check in stackwalker.h to 1310 which is what the 7.1 compiler
        version is really.

        only call the app's reread_prefs function if there's a window open
        (the SETI@home reread_prefs function goes into an infinite loop
        if there's not a window open)

    - 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.

    - Cleaned up the project-reset logic a little:
        - first garbage-collect, THEN unlink and delete the apps and app_versions
    - When detach project, delete FILE_INFO*s.

    NOTE: there are lots of loose ends, e.g. files/sockets left open etc.

Rom    Feb 5 2004
    - Microsofts documentation on the matter of SHGetFolderPath seems to be wrong.
        instead of relying on it, just do a dynamic link and call the function
        if successful.

David  Feb 5 2004
    - db_dump: files ordered by ID now have a fixed-size ID range,
        not a fixed # of elements
    - Changed FEASIBLE_COUNT parameters to very large values,
        so that results are never classified as COULDNT_SEND.
        This mechanism is not needed for SETI@home (all results are the same)
        and is occasionally screwing things up.
        Can revisit this later.
    - Make "host" web links consistent ("---" if ID is zero)
    - In UOTD browse, show only profiles w/ pics

    - Moved the unhandled exception filter back into boinc_api.c where it was orginally.
    - Moved stackwalker that is used by BOINC Client applications into api folder since
        the unhandled exception filter depends on it.
    - Removed the unhandled exception filter init code from boincdiag.cpp

Rom    Feb 6 2004
    - Removed boincdiag.cpp,h from build and encorporated all its functionality into
        boinc_api.c, h
    - Improved unhandled exception filter to handle STACK_OVERFLOW exceptions, using
        new stackwalker code base, STACK_OVERFLOWs would have caused a nested
        exception issue that would have masked the real error.
    - Improved unhandled exception filter to handle ACCESS_VIOLATIONs better, using
        stackwalker code base, giving some of the same information for release builds
        that is given in debug builds
    - Created a new macro called BOINCERROR which will trip the management thread into
        gracefully exiting the process with the correct exit code.  This macro will work
        across debug/release builds.  Some more work has to go into the base function,
        hopefully in tomorrow.

David  Feb 6 2004
    - ask for more work when # of results in progress is less than # CPUs
    - when get an APP_VERSION in a scheduler reply that's already in client state,
        DON'T update the client state (it can't be any different anyway)
        This fixes a garbage-collection crash
    - Win client: added check_state.C to the project.
        You can call check_all() to verify the integrity of client data.
        This is commented out but useful for debugging.
    - FILE_XFER_SET::insert() adds item to list, even if the underlying
        HTTP_OP::insert() fails (because can't connect, e.g.)
        This is necessary to make sure that the FILE_XFER remains in the
        FILE_XFER_SET even in case of error, so that check_all() works.

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

    - 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.

    - 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.

    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.

    - 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

      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.

    - 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.

        If a file is deleted (e.g., manually by the user)

Jeff  April 2 2004
     - 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.

    - 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_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;

            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

    - 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

        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().

    - Added a mechanism for limiting the number of results
        sent to a given host in a given day.
        - added 'nresults_today field' to host DB table
        - added 'daily_result_quota' element to config.xml and SCHED_CONFIG
            (optional - gives max results per host per day)
        - change server logic so that the host record is updated
            after calling send_work()
        - change server logic to enforce daily result quota,
            send message to user if quota exceeded,
            also write log message if this happens
    - Added script to send email to all opted-in users

    NOTE: existing projects will have to update their DB.
        You can do this using html/ops/db_update.php

    - The BOINC app graphics framework does not use
        (or require the use of) OpenGL.

    - added support for "static graphics":
        applications generate graphics from a static image file
        (part of the workunit) rather than dynamically.
    - removed cruft from gutil.C:
        mode_orth_ratio()
        set_viewport_*()
        center_screen_ratio()
        I have no idea what these were for,
        and perhaps neither did their author.

    - scheduler: modify_host_struct():
        modify the actual structure, not a copy
        (this caused results from new hosts to get zero claimed credit)
    - numerous web site changes, including:
        -  added "recompute credit" feature for hosts
        - moved forum files from html/forum to html/user
            Also changed forum code to use object notation
            (instead of archaic array notation)
            and to eliminate the use of global variables

    - API: do not catch HUP, INT or QUIT signals.
        This must be allowed to kill the application,

    - changed the default delay between requests for ResultMeter from 0.1 to
      0.5 - this should help MySQL servers that disconnect under load.  Also
      added a message on how to change it.

    - simplified code in ProjectList

      sometimes (re-open new database connection)

    - 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.
    - fixed "show team email addresses" function to not show auths
    - temporarily turned off user search by name and team search by name;
        we don't have indices on these fields
    - file upload handler: show bad-certificate message even
        if we're not enforcing it.
    - scheduler: fix insufficient-speed message

    - changed implementation of strlcpy() to use existing
        library functions (strlen(), memcpy()) since these
        are probably faster than doing it by hand
    - moved xml_util.C,h from boinc to seti_boinc/db

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

    - db_dump.C: major revision: make it configurable,
        using an XML config file.
        Lets you say what you want exported,
        how to sort, whether to compress etc.
    - destroy_shmem: try to destroy even if there are attachments.
        Somehow ipcrm always destroys the seg.  How do they do it?

Brian 22 June 2004
      - server: renamed all functions, structures and database items that
                associated with trickle_up or down and renamed to 
                msg_from_host and msg_to_host repectively,
                - Deleted result and app fields from the database entry for
                  msg_from_host (trickle_up) to make more generic of a
                  message that has no app or result associated it with it
                - Changed methods that use these fields to ignore old
                  functionality, will update when new method agreed upon

David 22 June 2004
    - client: handle a "down for maintenance" RPC reply as a failure,
        i.e. do a backoff on the project.
        This should hopefully fix a problem where if
        a project is down, and a client has a result to report,
        it will do an RPC every second, creating an overload on the server.
        Do this by adding a new optional <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.

    - Numerious file additions to the new client gui
    - Fixed a user feedback issue between restarting vs. resuming text when
      describing restarting of a task.
    - Limit the transitioner to a resultset of 5000 in it's workunit query so
      it doesn't spend so much time waiting on the database and order by tansition_time
      so we see the oldest to the newest.
    - Include the prototypes of the new language translation files based off of
      the standards used the wxWidgets, These files were constructed using an 
      automated tool called poEdit.

David  27 June 2004
    - Added core->app heartbeat mechanism so that apps will quit
        if the core client dies
        (i.e. if no heartbeat message arrives in 5 seconds).
        Suppress this if app is standalone.
        Also provide messages that let the core disable/enable
        the mechanism (to support debugging of the core client)
    - Added a 3rd message channel for suspend/resume/quit messages,
        to replace signals.
        This isn't used now.
    - Restored code in APP_CLIENT_SHM that checks the "full" bit
        before writing a message.
        This may cause problems.

    NOTE: this is a backwards-incompatible change to the core/app
        interface, so it requires a major version change (will do later)

        from running in the same slot at the same time.
        boinc_init() tries to lock the file;
        if it fails, wait for 7 seconds to allow the old process to die
        (the heartbeat timeout is 5 seconds) then try again.
        If fail again, exit.

    - PHP code: change parse_config() so that it doesn't
        read the config file; you have to read it first into a variable
        (using get_config()) and pass it in to parse_config()
        This saves work when you want to look at several config params.
    - db_init(): parse the DB hostname and use it in mysql_connect.
        This lets you run the web site from a different host than DB
    - disallow caching of top_* pages with random offsets

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'

David  2 July 2004
    - Changed the way result templates are stored with workunits.
        Instead of storing them as blobs,
        store a filename relative to project root dir.
        This is to speed up DB.
    - disable web command to update host credit
    - turn off web commands to show results for host/user, and pending credit
    - pruned command-line options from create_work.
        You now have to run it in project root dir,
        and it gets info from config file.

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

            can still use BOINC graphics API.
    - API: deleted standalone parameter to boinc_init. standalone
        status is already detected in boinc_init automatically. It
        should be sufficient for testing purposes.

    - 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.

      - 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.

    - Reduce the total number of messages the system attempts to keep in the
      messages tab to 200.  2000 was a bit much and caused the system to spend
      some time processing when there were quite a few messages to go through,
      such as in Predictor@home
    - Moved the code that checkes the total number of messages available in
      the message tab out of the switch/case chunk of code so that it happens
      more frequently than when the user clicks on the messages tab, which
      could take awhile if there was more than 1000 messages.

          3. the result had an upload error

    - Implement revised core/app interface

        - Augment the set of shared-memory message channels;
            add a channel for suspend/resume/quit messages
            (these replace the use of signals and SuspendThread calls);
            add separate channels for trickle up/down
        - Modify the API library accordingly.
            Currently works for Windows; will do UNIX later
        - Modify the core client (app.C) accordingly
        - Call ACTIVE_TASK_SET::poll() even when activities suspended;

    - 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.

            get_file_transfers() returns info about file transfers

        in case there's no work and client not returning results.
        Don't do this if this is initial request from host

    boinc_gl.h. Include-file issues including makefile issues have yet to 
    be resolved so this will NOT compile with your existing Makefile
    - updated graphics_api with xwin_graphics_event_loop and some new
    included files. Will not compile with existing Makefile.
    - reduce.C rearranged includes and added GL, to be resolved later.
    - gutil.C extern "C" for jpeglib, glut included, will not compile

    Various changes to reflect the fact that message-passing
    operations may fail because buffer is full,
    in which case they must be retried later.

    - in graphics API: don't ack graphics mode in set_mode();
        instead, ack it in timer_handler()
    - 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.

    - fix various bugs that kept test_uc.py from working

            (validate_test -> sample_bitwise_validator,
             assimilator -> sample_dummy_assimilator)

        TestProject.run(): same
        Work.install():
            need to copy result template file to project directory
        Added -config_dir argument to create_work
        For some reason, the transitioner wasn't expanding UPLOAD_URL

            Fixes this.

    - 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.

David  3 Aug 2004
    - 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

        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 1000 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

David  6 Aug 2004
    - 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.
    - Pass around SCHED_CONFIG in a few interfaces

    - Make <copy_file/> work for application files as well as input files
        (this copies files to the slot dir instead of making symbolic link).
        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
        input and output files.

        - client: get team name, user credits, host credits

    - already_sent_to_different_platform():
        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.
        All this code is only for MySQL anyway.

    - 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.

        - 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)

    - (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.

    - support for <non_cpu_intensive/> projects.
        The flag is parsed from scheduler and stored in state file
        Non-CPU-intensive projects are treated specially
        by the CPU scheduler: their results are always scheduled.

        gui_test.C

David  25 Sept 2004
    - Added new GUI RPCs:
        project: suspend/resume
        file transfer: abort
        active task: suspend/resume/abort
        get proxy info
    - Modified the C++ interface to GUI RPC a little
        NOTE: the RPCs themselves (XML on the wire) are unchanged
    - Added suspended_via_gui flags to PROJECT, ACTIVE_TASK
    - renamed CLIENT_STATE::pi to CLIENT_STATE::proxy_info

    - Added the ability to turn homogeneous redundancy on/off
        on a per-application basis.

    NOTE: this involved adding a homogeneous_redundancy field to
    the app table in the database.
    To upgrade to this server software,
    you must run the SQL query in html/ops/db_update.php,
    which adds this database field.

    - changed the semantics of the GUI RPC get_messages() call.
        - It no longer takes an "nmessages" arg.
        - it returns messages in order of increasing seqno
    - changed message_descs from a std::list to a std::deque

David  30 Sept 2004
    - added GUI_RPC_CLIENT::close() function.
        Call this if any RPC returns ERR_READ or ERR_WRITE.
        Then call init() again to reconnect

David  30 Sept 2004
    - First steps in fixing the venue mess:
        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??)
    - add none (---) as an option for venue in web form
    - when user change venue of host, tell them that it
        will take effect only after a sched request

=======
    - 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

        - proxy info

    This is for the benefit of Folding@home,
    whose application does some core-client-type stuff
    (e.g. network communication) and therefore needs this info

    - changed GLOBAL_PREFS::source_project and source_scheduler

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.

    sched/

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

        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(),

      to traverse the Window Station/Desktop boundry on Windows NT based

        Window Station and Desktop boundries.
        Note: The screensaver will now work with the password checkbox
        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
       additional clauses for more sophisticated queries)

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - 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.

	- Use exclusively UNIX time (1970-origin) on Windows.
		Previously we were using times in both this format
		and in Windows 1601-based format.
		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.
    - Fill in the missing piece for the memory leak detection to proplerly
        display the file and line number information per allocation for the
        GUI on Windows
    - Rename the CC and GUI on all platforms to match that of Windows.

    -   Added emacs mode statement to the top of this file to eliminate tabs
        in favor of spaces!
    -   Fixed boinc_zip.h so that it works correctly under both C++ and
        C under both Unix and Win32.
    -   Modified admin ops pages so that workunit displays transition time,
        and target_nresults.  Results pages displays deadline not received time
        for results that are still in progress or were never received.
    -   Fixed glut detection bug in configure script
    -   Made php script function correctly under both php4 and php5.

    - Add in the rcsid tag to all the boincmgr source files and the screensaver
        for windows.
    - Bug Fix: Fix a messages bug where the client would not attempt to
        get the latest message state after a connection failure until a new
        message was logged.
    - Cleanup some of the statusbar update code, wxWidgets already had a function
        to do that work.
    - Bug Fix: Fix the socks proxy enable button, it was referencing the HTTP proxy
        control instead of the socks proxy control.  ( I thought I had fixed this
        awhile ago )

    - added script for fixing the problem where some workunits
        have target_nresults successful results and no consensus.
        The script finds WUs in this state and sets their need_validate flag;
        the validator (MAKE SURE YOU'VE RECOMPILED WITH CURRENT SOURCE)
        will increment target_nresults and trigger the transitioner,
        which will create a new result.

    -   Added logging of remaining result.outcome==OVER states to logging
        output of transitioner.
    -   Fixed nasty bug in ops pages where top two WU error mask bits were
        not being shown in WU summary/detail pages.
    -   Display some useful Unix times on db query page (helpful in formulating
        queries.

    - Bug Fix: On certain versions of Windows it might be necessary for the
        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.

    - Add back in trace statements to boincmgr's main frame, so we can begin to 
      track down the Mac OS X problem.
    - Change the screensaver so that it only checks for BOINC's configuration
      once.

    -   Enabled automatic emailing of CVS diffs to the boinc_cvs email
        list.  This is done by adding a 'syncmail' script in the CVSROOT/
        directory and adding an extra line at the end of CVSROOT/loginfo.
