- Deprecated the bad hash function used for the
upload/download directory hierarchies.
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.
The file_deleter and validator try the new hash, then the old.

- added new directory which builds a self-extracting tar
archive (executable shell script) for installation on
unix platforms. 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

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

- drop the indices on mod_time.
(result: app_mod_time, workunit: wu_filedel)
For SETI@home they were too much of a performance hit.
They're needed only for db_purge and result_summary.php,
which will have to do a sequential scan instead

- Reinhard has done a substantial amount of work in the past
couple of weeks to fix a number of bugs and problems in the
X-windows and/or Mac graphics event loop, and with lockfile
handling problems seen on a number of Unix file systems. 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.

- Bug Fix: The screensaver doesn't really need to update every second. change
it to update once a minute.

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.

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

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.

- 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)

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

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?

- 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.

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.

- 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

- 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.

- 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:

Implementation:
Hosts generate their own "internal" CPIDs,

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.
