It wasn't uniform. Use MD5 instead. Kept the old one around for a the time being. dir_hier_path() and dir_hier_url() take a new arg saying whether to use new or old hash.

This will only be made when building the client GUI and installs both the boinc client and client GUI. Written and tested by Bernd Machenschalk. - next day revision, name shell script with appropriate version/release number from configure.ac Makefile.am sea/ [New Directory] make-sea.sh Makefile.in BOINC/ [THIS DIRECTORY IS SPURIOUS: NO LONGER NEEDED] Janus 6 Jan 2005 - Added support for an "Ignore" function in the forums Users can now ignore a list of other users. The ignored posts will appear as filtered. To use this the forum_preferences table needs a new column: ALTER TABLE `forum_preferences` ADD `ignorelist` VARCHAR( 254 ) NOT NULL ; - Added thread name to page title in forums (from Athlonrob) - Round scores and ratings in forum to avoid a rating of for instance 2.999999999 /html/user edit_forum_preferences_form.php edit_forum_preferences_action.php forum_thread.php /html/inc forum.inc Rom 6 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: fix crashing bug when running the old gui and new gui side by side - Bug Fix: Fix sync bug in new gui related to how the number of rows were being calculated - Bug Fix: Remove the explict call to freeze/thaw which was causing the messages tab to flicker even when the data has not changed. - Bug Fix: On Windows systems that support tooltip bubbles, don't populate the regular tooltip field as it will appear before the bubble request and makes the taskbar applet appear ugly - Bug Fix: The new gui should enforce closing down the core client when it launches the core client, we were using the wxWidget framework to do this, but the call to wxProcess::Exists causes an assert on Windows if the process doesn't exist. And sometimes crashes in a release build. - Bug Fix: When syncing the views cache make sure there is at least one item to syncronize, otherwise we'll reference a NULL pointer and blow up. This fixes the crashing bug when you startup and shutdown the core client in the background. client/win/ wingui_mainwindow.cpp clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp, .h BOINCBaseView.cpp ViewMessages.cpp ViewProjects.cpp ViewResources.cpp ViewTransfers.cpp ViewWork.cpp clientgui/msw/ taskbarex.cpp Rom 6 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: On Windows 2000 machines or better use the GetLastInputInfo API to determine if the system is idle or not instead of hooking into each process space. This will fix the possible warnings that key logging detection tools throw with BOINC is started up. For older platforms we'll hook into the process space. - Bug Fix: Detect system idle properties across the terminal services boundry. Thanks to Eric Youngdale for the patch. - Bug Fix: Detect the condition where the system tick count may have looped back to zero. client/ main.C client/win/ hostinfo_win.cpp win_idle_tracker.cpp, .h, .def clientgui/ BOINCGUIApp.cpp, .h BOINCTaskBar.cpp, .h MainFrame.cpp, .h Rom 7 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: Provide better visuals during the connect and disconnected states for the BOINC Manager - Bug Fix: Provide written text describing the BOINC Manager state - Bug Fix: Add new strings to language files clientgui/ MainFrame.cpp, .h stdwx.h clientgui/res/ connect.xpm disconnect.xpm clientgui/locale/ < All PO files > Janus 7 Jan 2005 - Bug fix: Don't show icon column in helpdesk - icons are not used here - Bug fix: Filtering can now be turned off in helpdesk - Ignored userlist is now unique and sorted by userid (patches from Christian Beer - thanks!) - More score rounding to avoid float inaccuracy /html/user edit_forum_preferences_action.php /html/inc forum_show.inc forum.inc David 7 Jan 2005 - drop the indices on mod_time. (result: app_mod_time, workunit: wu_filedel) For SETI@home they were too much of a performance hit.

A brief summary of the changes is: lockfile: replace calls to exit() by boinc_finish() + make boinc_finish() remove the lockfile graphics-eventloop: some re-structuring and simplification to make handling of glut-exits/abort-signals more robust. Eric, if you could test this under Solaris we'd be very grateful. api/ boinc_api.C graphics_impl.C x_opengl.C diagnostics.C filesys.C Rom 7 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: The screensaver doesn't really need to update every second. change it to update once a minute. - Bug Fix: The screensaver only needs to detect if BOINC is running once, if it doesn't detect it display the not detected message. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp David 7 Jan 2005 - off-by-1 error caused trivial validator to not work sched/ validate_util.C David 7 Jan 2005 - moved dir hierarchy code from lib/util.C to sched/sched_util.C - buffer was too small by 1 byte in md5_file.C lib/ md5_file.C util.C,h sched/ file_deleter.C sched_util.C,h David 7 Jan 2005 - Changed Makefile.am's to use libraries (libboinc.a, libsched.a) instead of listing separate .o files Makefile.incl sched/ Makefile.am wu_check.C tools/ Makefile.am backend_lib.C dir_hier_move.C dir_hier_path.C David 7 Jan 2005 - Win compile fix api/ boinc_api.C David 7 Jan 2005 - add "ignorelist" field to forum_preferences - add script for correcting team.nusers (can drift away from correct value for some reason) - User web mods: - improve result field explanations - user date_str() instead of time_str() when showing signup date db/ schema.sql html/ inc/ result.inc team.inc user.inc util.inc ops/ db_update.php team_repair.php (new) user/ explain_state.php Bruce 8 Jan 2005 In order to coordinate better with David, I am doing a slightly premature checkin of modifications to scheduling locality. The basic idea is to provide a simple notification mechanism to the project, so that if no work is currently available for a given data file, there is an opportunity to make such work. This is controlled by an additional tag in config.xml, of the form: <locality_scheduling_wait_period> N </locality_scheduling_wait_period> where N is some number of seconds. If this new tag is absent, then the locality scheduler behaves as before. The modification to behavior happens in send_results_for_file(). This is the function that queries the database to see if there are unsent results available for a given (large) data file on the host. Previously, if such results are not found the scheduler gives up and tries sending other results. With this modification, if N is nonzero, then if no results are found the scheduler touches a file with the same name as the host's data file, in a directory PROJECT_ROOT/locality_scheduling/need_work/ The scheduler then sleeps for N seconds, and makes one additional attempt to find suitable unsent results. The idea is that in this interval, the project has an opportunity to make additional WU for this file, which the transitioner can convert to unsent results. [Note, the transaction for the first query is completed before the sleep(N), and a new transaction is initiated afterwards. So there is no 'sleep within a transaction'.] This delay allows the project to make additional workunits suitable for the host's existing data files. In addition, if the project determines that NO further workunits can be made for a given data file, then the project can touch a file with the same name as the input data file, in a directory PROJECT_ROOT/locality_scheduling/no_work_available/ If the scheduler finds this warning then it assumes that the project can not manufacture additional WU for this data file and skips the 'notify, sleep, query again' sequence above. Of course it still does the initial query, so if the transitioner has made some new results for an existing (old) WU, they will get picked up. This mechanism is robust in the sense that if the signals fail for any reason, or (say) the WU are not converted into unsent results quickly enough by the transitioner, or if they are snapped up by some other host, then the scheduler simply proceeds as with its current unmodified behavior and nothing goes wrong. In other words, the signals can be ignored at any time and for any time without adverse consequences. TODO: further testing. sched/ sched_locality.C David 8 Jan 2005 Some changes related to locality scheduling: - Factored Bruce's new code into a separate function, make_more_work_for_file() - Remove the 'id>X' stuff from queries. Assuming that work is fairly homogeneous (i.e. no results are rejected because of resource requirements) this is not needed. If a result has already been sent, it won't qualify for the select anyway. - Add a 'workunitid<>X' clause to the queries. This is to make the process of enforcing the one_result_per_wu_per_user rule more efficient. If the rule is not in effect, X is zero (so always true) - If two consecutive select queries return the same result, break out of the loop (avoid undesired looping) - Use a for i=1,100 loop instead of a while(1) loop around the work-sending logic, to avoid infinite loops just in case sched/ sched_locality.C David 8 Jan 2005 - Implement the <locality_scheduling_wait_period> element in config.xml If present, this tells the scheduler how long to sleep between requesting more work for a file and looking for it (and giving up if it's not there) If absent, the scheduler doesn't request more work unit generation. sched/ sched_config.C,h sched_locality.C David 9 Jan 2005 - fix memory leak in get_insert_id() db/ db_base.C David 9 Jan 2005 - user profile fixes - disallow thread titles consisting only of HTML tags html/inc/ forum.inc profile.inc David 9 Jan 2005 - message board fixes - show thread titles using htmlspecialchars() prevent invisible titles html/ inc/ forum.inc forum_show.inc user/ forum_thread.php Rom 9 Jan 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.58 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_58 David 9 Jan 2005 - fix a buffer overrun problem by using std::string in DB_BASE::insert_batch() db/ db_base.C,h sched/ transitioner.C David 10 Jan 2005 - client: fix bug where "requesting more work" messages are generate every second when all projects are suspended client/ client_types.h cs_scheduler.C David 10 Jan 2005 - locality scheduling changes: Changed the algorithms a bit to avoid lots of DB queries Invariant: for a given file/user pair, results are sent in order of increasing ID (i.e. the result sent is that with the smallest ID among all those that CAN be sent). This ensures that: - the result for given WU will be sent around the same time send_results_for_file(): 1) of results for this file sent to this user, find the one R with largest ID 2) find unsent result R2 for this file with next ID greater than R, and (if one result per user per WU) different workunitid than ALL previous results sent to this user. 3) if need more results, set R = R2 and go to 2) send_new_file_work(): min_id = 0 while need more work find unsent result R with id>min_id of least ID min_id = R.id (Note: this is necessary to preserve the invariant) Changed make_more_work_for_file() to return zero for success (BOINC convention) db/ db_base.C,h sched/ sched_locality.C David 11 Jan 2005 more locality sched changes (with Bruce Allen) - Added a notion of "working set" of files. If a host doesn't have a file, the scheduler picks a random entry from the working set and tries to send it work from that file. The project must supply a daemon program that maintains the working set (could be the same as the work generator) - Added config.locality_scheduling_send_timeout. If any unsent result is older than this, send it to the first eligible host - If a host already has files, randomize their order - Integrate work-generator invocation in send_results_for_file() - If can't send a result because of no app_version, give up lib/ error_numbers.h sched/ sched_locality.C Janus 12 Jan 2005 - Removed check for $user->disabled_filtering which no longer exists. - Added output of CVS version information if available. Someone with time on their hands should add the following line to all the PHP and include files (right after the inital <php (remove the star! - inserted to avoid having CVS generate the info...): $cvs_version_tracker[]="\$I*d$"; //Generated automatically - do not edit (bug and idea found by Bruce Allen) html/inc util.inc forum_show.inc Bruce 12 Jan 2005 more locality sched changes. - bug fix 1, trivial, n % 0 generates FPE if no files. - bug fix 2, subtle. In the deterministic hunt to find the next unsent result, the comparison of the result name must be done with the lexically maximum result name constructed from the given filename. Eg, if one needs name>FILE_ZZZZ...Z where Z=0xff (is this charset independent??) and the total name length is 255 (or is it 254??). - David, I'll clean out some of the debugging scaffolding in a few more days, when I get some confidence that there are not other problems to fix! Please read embedded comments/questions in code. - Some more comemnts added later. We do sometimes get non-zero return values from possibly_send_result(). I think that this is because you've failed to match up the start_transaction and commit_transaction pairs. Be careful: sleeps AND modifies the DB. Right now I am too tired to fix this without making it worse. Your turn. - A few other comments. Currently, I am 'advertising' filenames returned by get_working_set_filename() for TWO types of files: (1) those for which I can make more work (2) those for which I can NOT make more work, but where you have not flagged with flag_for_possible_removal(). I am not sure that I understand the intent of flag_for_possible_removal(). You surely are not guaranteeing that no results will ever appear in the future for these files (outstanding results might fail). So what is my WU generator supposed to do with flag_for_possible_removal? Is (2) above correct? - Finally, I have not yet seen a SINGLE instance of a flag_for_possible_removal. Is the logic right? sched/ sched_locality.C David 12 Jan 2005 - xml_escape() and xml_unescape(): handle non-ASCII characters lib/ parse.C Rom 12 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: Fix the bug where the screensaver wasn't saving the configuration settings to the registry without the prep work done by the previous installer. client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp, .h Bruce 13 Jan 2005 - Various efforts to fix CVS 'loginfo' file so that we get auto mailings of changes to the top level directory. The main problem is that one can't use "^boinc[ ]" or "^boinc\ " or "^boinc\#20" as a regex to try and match the name of the top level directory with no trailing slash. What a mess! - More work on sched_locality.C. Note that the 'wacky' warning is actually not impossible. Consider the following scenario: WU A has result 1 and WU B has result 2. These are both sent to a host. Some time later, result 1 fails and the transitioner creates a new result, result 3 for WU A. Then the host requests a new result. The maximum result already sent to the host is 2. The next unsent result (sorted by ID) is #3. But since it is for WU A, and since the host has already gotten a result for WU A, it's infeasible. So I think this is only wacky if !one_wu_per_result_per_host. - David, I simplified the inner part of send_results_for_file() somewhat. I can't see the need/use for the bool bool in_working_set argument. If I have really screwed the pooch please revert. sched/ sched_locality.C David 13 Jan 2005 - Core client: when get a workunit from scheduler, clear errors (e.g. download failures) for all files associated with this WU (this is down in a new function WORKUNIT::clear_errors()) Without this, if a file common to multiple WUs had a download failure, all WUs would fail until user resets project!! - Giant bug in HTTP file transfer: If a network connection failed in the middle, it wasn't being distinguished from a completed download; the file size would be checked at the PERS_FILE_XFER level, and it would get a "bad file size" fatal error. Fix: when get EOF from a network connection reading HTTP reply, compare the bytes transferred with the content-length from HTTP header. If not equal, classify it as an error. This will cause higher levels to view it as a transient error, and restart the download later. - PERS_FILE_XFER::poll(): the check for actual file size == desired file size was inexplicably being done even for file uploads, and even in cases where another error had occurred. Do it only for download success cases. client/ client_types.C,h cs_scheduler.C http.C pers_file_xfer.C Rom 13 Jan 2005 (boinc) - Tag for 4.59 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_4_59 David 13 Jan 2005 - user web: in thread page, show numbered lists of pages correctly Also get rid of goofy big/bold stuff - page_tail(): use the current year (not necessarily 2004) for copyright - add warning about CPU overheating to Rules/Policies page - use tables for result state explanations html/ inc/ forum_show.inc util.inc user/ explain_state.php info.php David 13 Jan 2005 - add "hidden" fields to thread and post tables, in preparation for message board moderation features NOTE TO PROJECTS: apply this update if you're using current PHP. It doesn't hurt to apply it anyway. db/ schema.sql html/ops/ db_update.php Rom 13 Jan 2005 - Checkin the changes necessary to hide threads in the forum code. By: Rob Ogilvie - Hidden threads should not be visible through a direct call html/inc/ forum.inc html/user/ forum_thread.php David 13 Jan 2005 - modified DB_BASE::enumerate() so that it returns: - zero if returning a row - ERR_DB_NOT_FOUND if reached end of result set - other values indicated DB errors (e.g. lost connection to server) Strange as it may seem, until now we didn't have a way of knowing that enumerate() had errored out. As a result, e.g., db_dump would happily generate a zero-entry user or host file if the DB happened to disconnect during the select. - changed db_dump.C to check error returns from enumerate(), and exit() on DB failure - changed xml_escape() to completely remove control characters except for 9, 10, 13 db/ db_base.C lib/ error_numbers.h parse.C sched/ db_dump.C David 14 Jan 2005 - Fix problems with backslashes in forum titles; also kludge display so old titles with extraneous backslashes are shown without them html/inc/ forum.inc David 14 Jan 2005 - fix to fix in msg board code html/inc/ forum_show.inc Rom 14 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: The screensaver was passing the raw blank time (number of minutes) instead of when in unix time format the screen should go blank (number of seconds). client/win/ win_screensaver.cpp Karl 2005-01-16 - Added support for specifying db_{user,passwd} when creating projects tools/ make_project py/Boinc/ setup_project.py Bruce 17 Jan 2005 - Additional work on locality scheduling. (a) make DB queries more efficient using name>'FILE__' and name<'FILE__~' rather than name like 'FILE__%' (b) Set 'no remaining work for this file' flag correctly by making a DB scan if needed. One can show that this is the 'cheapest' reliable place to put this scan. (c) Modify deterministic algorithm for finding unsent results so that instead of starting with FILE="" and scanning forward over all files, it starts at a random place in file space, scans cyclicly to the end, and then from "" to the start point. (d) Satisfy work request if possible. Don't terminate sending work until none left that is feasible, or request satisfed. (e) If a new file is needed, first pick file associated with unsent results which are more than 2 hours old. Note: need to make this a user-configurable option, and add some random +- slack. For the record, here is the current locality scheduler logic. I will update the docs once this is a bit better tested and stable. (1) If there is an (one) unsent result which is older than (1) config.locality_scheduling_send_timeout (7 days) and is (1) feasible for the host, sent it. (2) If we did send a result in the previous step, then send any (2) additional results that are feasible for the same input file. (3) If additional results are needed, step through input files on (3) the host. For each, if there are results that are feasible for (3) the host, send them. If there are no results that are feasible (3) for the host, delete the input file from the host. (4) If additional results are needed, and there is (one) unsent (4) result which is older than 2 hours and is feasible for the (4) host, send it. (5) If we did send a result in the previous step, then send any (5) additional results that are feasible for the same input file. (6) If additional results are needed, select an input file name at (6) random from the current input file working set advertised by (6) the WU generator. If there are results for this input file (6) that are feasible for this host, send them. (7) If additional results are needed, carry out an expensive, (7) deterministic search for ANY results that are feasible for the (7) host. This search starts from a random filename advertised by (7) the WU generator, but continues cyclicly to cover ALL results (7) for ALL files. If a feasible result is found, send it. Then (7) send any additional results that use the same input file. If (7) there are no feasible results for the host, we are finished: (7) exit. (8) If addtional results are needed, return to step 4 above. sched/ sched_locality.C David 17 Jan 2005 - don't start apps until after benchmark (may work around CPDN bug) client/ client_state.C Rom 17 Jan 2005 - Bug Fix: Remove the ability for the CC to exit when a project fails to attach. This now keeps the CC from exiting for te Single and Shared install types as well. - Bug Fix: Remove the readme options from setup. - Bug Fix: Enable the checkboxes in setup by default. client/ main.C win_build/installerv2/ BOINC.ism win_build/installerv2/redist/0409 readme.txt win_build/installerv2/redist/windows BOINC.vbs Janus 18 Jan 2005 - Initial test-version of the moderation system Please test the current features (deleting posts, moving posts) and see if this is how it should be done. The rest is mostly copy-paste work as the same design can be used for threads as well. This update includes: - Deleting posts - Moving posts - Sending email notice to post author - Users cannot edit their posts more than 1 hour after creating them - Deleted posts are only shown to moderators - Inversion of $filter_on in getThreads and getPosts (!) Now the bit means "show deleted posts/threads" and defaults to off - New special user bitfield Due to the new special user bitfield you must redefine who is who in your project. Currently this is done manually (idea for the ops page, anyone?) This is how the bitfield is used: 1st bit = Moderator 2nd bit = Project Admin 3rd bit = Project dev 4th bit = Project tester 5th bit = Volunteer dev 6th bit = Volunteer tester 7th bit = Project Scientist So if I'm a project admin and want to be moderator as well, I would do the following SQL query: Update forum_preferences set special_user = '1100000' where userid=42 html/ user/ forum_edit.php +forum_moderate_post.php (new) +forum_moderate_post_action.php (new) inc/ forum.inc email.inc +forum_moderators.inc (new) ops/ update_db.php David 18 Jan 2005 - user web: general code cleanup, and increased use of stylesheets for formatting rather than hard-wired HTML - use tables for profiles - change way profiles are rated html/ inc/ forum.inc prefs.inc profile.inc util.inc user/ forum_edit.php forum_help_desk.php forum_sample_index.php forum_thread.php profile_rate.php (new) profile_search_action.php view_profile.php white.css sched/ db_dump.C David 18 Jan 2005 - fix "added clauses" feature of admin web DB interface html/inc/ db_ops.inc David 18 Jan 2005 - added --cron-tasks option to start (does periodic tasks but doesn't start daemons) From David Hammer. This should arguably be used instead of --cron because if daemons are crashing you'll find out about it sooner. sched/ start David 18 Jan 2005 - added <min_core_client_version> element to SCHED_CONFIG. Lets the scheduler turn away clients below a certain version without doing a lot of work (especially important for locality scheduling) doc/ configuration.php sched/ sched_config.C,h handle_request.C David 18 Jan 2005 - initial checkin of RPCs for account management systems: see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/acct_mgt.php NOTE: to use this feature, you'll need to update your DB using update_1_19_2005() html/ ops/ db_update.php user/ am_confirm.php am_create.php am_query.php Bruce 19 Jan 2005 - Patches from Reinhard Prix to fix several problems. (1) apps being suspended would call boinc_finish(nonzero) and core client would treat this as app failure. Introduce a new function boinc_exit() and call that instead. (2) improvements to GUI build with wxWidgets (3) improved X event handling loop now ensures that X window is taken away when window killed. configure.ac clientgui/ Makefile.am api/ boinc_api.h boinc_api.C x_opengl.C lib/ filesys.C David 19 Jan 2005 - don't show rating buttons when user looks at their own profile html/inc/ profile.inc uotd.inc David 19 Jan 2005 - Change the logic in CLIENT_STATE::do_something to avoid unsuspending activities before starting them - change CLIENT_STATE::check_suspend_activities() from int to void Checked these changes into boinc_public also client/ client_state.C,h cs_prefs.C David 19 Jan 2005 - db_dump: deleting the old stats dir with /bin/rm -rf fails sometimes ("dir is not empty"). If this happens, try renaming it. sched/ db_dump.C Bruce 20 Jan 2005 - From Reinhard Prix. At Rom's request, this builds the Linux client and clientgui using static rather than dynamic linking to the gcc C++ lib. Note that modifying this to do the same whenever gcc is used (not just under Linux) might be desirable. configure.ac client/ Makefile.am clientgui/ Makefile.am David 20 Jan 2005 - Added cross-project IDs for hosts. This lets statistics sites show work per host, summed over projects. Implementation: Hosts generate their own "internal" CPIDs, using an MD5 of time/domain/IP/disk_free. This should be unique across that user's hosts. It's stored in the HOST_INFO structure and sent to server. The server hashes the internal CPID with the user's email address and stores the resulting "external" CPID in the host table. It is included by db_dump in <host> elements. PROJECT NOTE: if you use this server code you will need to apply update_1_20_2005() from html/ops/db_update.php to existing DBs client/ client_stats.h hostinfo_unix.C win/ hostinfo_win.cpp db/ boinc_db.C,h schema.sql html/ops/ db_update.php lib/ hostinfo.C,h sched/ db_dump.C handle_request.C server_types.C start David 20 Jan 2005 - scheduler compile fix for Solaris sched/ sched_locality.C |
