Change log from 2.0.0-beta1 to 2.0.0-rc1 ======================================== 2011-02-22 dbs * examples/opensrf.xml.example: Remove max_requests config stanza from C language implementations in example config Only Perl implementations support the max_requests stanza, so let's not confuse matters with an unused element. * examples/opensrf-rsyslog.conf: added sample rsyslog opensrf configuration file * src/python/osrf/app.py: Trivial typo fix (also tests OpenSRF buildbot) * README: Remove extraneous line for dnsmasq / Python * src/libopensrf/osrf_prefork.c: Get that brace back in the right place Unbreak the build. Argh. * src/libopensrf/osrf_prefork.c, src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Server.pm: Add hints to increase max_children config variable if we're hitting the maximum Already added this hint to the Python implementation, now propagating to C and Perl. * src/python/osrf/server.py: Clean up Python server implementation, guided by pylint Add some docstrings, keep line lengths at 80 or less (MORE WHITESPACE!), remove some dead code, and add a hint to check max_children config value if we're bumping up against the limit. * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Application.pm: on second thought, removing debug sleep method, which is (more than most) a DOS waiting to happen. * src/c-apps/Makefile.am: Apply libtools versioning to OpenSRF c-apps as well We apply a -version-info argument of 2:0:2, meaning: * interface = 2: interface '2' of this library * revision = 0: first implementation of interface '2' * age = 2: this library can be linked with executables going back two interface versions See http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_91.html for more information on the -version-info argument. * src/libopensrf/Makefile.am: Prepare for version 2.0.0 with versioning for 2.0.0 Use the libtool -version-info option to provide an explicit version for the libopensrf.so library. Introducing versioned libraries will give us the ability to force recompiles of linked applications when binary compatibility has been broken. * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Application.pm: added opensrf.system.sleep method; takes 1 param (seconds); useful for debugging child process management * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Server.pm: Resolve encoding problem found by attempting to register patrons with Unicode names Symptoms were: 1. a gateway.log entry showing http_translator receiving an XMPP error message 2. a corresponding osrfsys.log entry "server: died with error Wide character in syswrite at /usr/local/share/perl5/OpenSRF/Server.pm line 239" Per normal Perl Unicode handling practices, decoding input and encoding output using the Encode module and decode_utf8() / encode_utf8() appears to resolve the problem. 2011-01-31 dbs * Makefile.am: Whitespace consistency (tabs for Makefiles I guess) * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF.pm: Use an Exporter-approved version number (only one decimal place) * src/perl/Build.PL: Correct copy/paste error in Build.PL metadata OpenSRF uses GPL v2 or later, not the Perl license. 2011-01-28 dbs * src/perl/t/08-Server.t, src/perl/t/08-UnixServer.t: OpenSRF::UnixServer doesn't live here any more This test was still succeeding on hosts that had installed previous versions of OpenSRF, but failed on a shiny new test instance. 2011-01-26 dbs * src/perl/t/07-Transport.t: Set the correct number of expected tests so that we don't fail 100% of the time I guess we haven't run "make test" here since r2024 - heh. 2011-01-21 erickson * src/libopensrf/osrf_application.c, src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Application.pm: make the api CALL log line consistent across Perl and C and make it something that can be pasted directly into srfsh * src/python/srfsh.py: repaired call to handle_request for router query; cannot survive without the self. 2010-12-20 erickson * src/python/srfsh.py: repaired bug in total request time calc, particularly when a request returns no response 2010-12-20 dbs * src/extras/Makefile.install: Straighten out -f / -d flag confusion in libmemcached prerequisite There are two different styles of checking for previously downloaded tarballs in this Makefile; the libmemcached entry combined them both with unfortunate results. 2010-12-20 erickson * src/python/srfsh.py: Python srfsh enhancements * Srfsh plugins can now insert new commands and add words to the tab completion word bank. * Addded support reading script files * Added support for service open/close (connect/disconnect) for stateful connections * Moved to class-based srfsh module for easier state maintenance * More doc strings 2010-12-13 erickson * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Application.pm: on second thought, removing debug sleep method, which is (more than most) a DOS waiting to happen. * src/python/osrf/server.py: improved select/read/write fault tolerance; cleaner and more efficient child process idle/active list management; improved logging 2010-12-01 dbs * README: Apply patch for dnsmasq documentation Thanks to Michael Giarlo for providing this correction to the dnsmasq configuration line! 2010-11-30 erickson * src/python/opensrf.py.in: fail gracefully when opensrf.settings is not up and running 2010-11-29 erickson * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Server.pm: don't clean up child attributes until we're done with them; added pid map hash for easy/quick access to child via pid * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Server.pm: add fault tolerance (e.g. recover from interrupted select/sysread); always perform idle maintenance when there are any active child processes; exit check status early when no active processes exist * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Transport/SlimJabber/XMPPReader.pm: avoid calling sysread when select exited from interruption. * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Application.pm: added opensrf.system.sleep method; takes 1 param (seconds); useful for debugging child process management 2010-11-29 dbs * src/extras/Makefile.install: Lenny needs zlib1g-dev package to install XML::LibXML and others Per https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=51439; also, libmemcached failed to configure and build without this. 2010-11-24 gmc * src/extras/Makefile.install, src/perl/Build.PL: no longer need FreezeThaw Signed-off-by: Galen Charlton 2010-11-22 erickson * src/libopensrf/osrf_prefork.c: in the rare case the select() is interrupted while waiting on child statuses, exit early to prevent read()'s on invalid file handles and allow the calling code to loop back around and try again 2010-11-20 erickson * src/python/srfsh.py: added support for introspect operation * src/Makefile.am: install srfsh.py when --enable-python is set * src/python/srfsh.py: added support for paging through 'less' (like C); added 'router' query docs; added separate env vars for pretty printing json and for print network object keys; explicit opensrf disconnect on exit * src/python/osrf/system.py: added network disconnect func 2010-11-19 erickson * src/python/srfsh.py: added 'router' command for router class info queries; improved redline tab completion; more changes for consistency with C version; general cleanup 2010-11-16 erickson * src/python/osrf/net_obj.py: repaired logic in the as-yet-unused import_array_data; use the more efficient enumerate func; capture array length outside of loop for efficiency; avoid calls to set/get_field and access _data directly inside of the NetworkObject class for faster accessor/mutator's * src/python/srfsh.py: removed debug print statement * src/python/osrf/net_obj.py: rely on logic, not failure through try/catch, to determine of an object is a registered network object; if an object is unregistered, do not treat it as an __unknown network object (which obfuscates and provides no value). * src/python/srfsh.py: killed the terminal colors in srfsh.py output. They are cute and all, but are likely the cause of readline oddities/artifacts (and kind of distracting). Default to raw (json) output for consistency Change log for 2.0.0-beta1 ========================== 2010-11-15 dbs * src/perl/lib/OpenSRF.pm: Bump version number for 2.0 branch 2010-11-15 dbs * .: Create rel_2_0 branch for next major OpenSRF release 2010-11-14 dbs * Limit list of Python services to those within the domain-specific activeapps section Fix up help with correct default PID directory and document list_all action 2010-11-11 dbs * If an alternate config file is pointed to in osrf_ctl.sh, respect it In a previous edit, I accidentally removed the config file option from the start_python command, which would break if anything other than the configured default config file was specified as an option to osrf_ctl.sh. This makes opensrf.py once again respect the authority of osrf_ctl.sh. * Use the same PID directory as the opensrf-perl.pl and opensrf.py scripts The default PID directories for the opensrf-perl.pl and opensrf.py scripts was /openils/var/run/opensrf (assuming a prefix of '/openils'), while the default PID directory for osrf_ctl.sh was /openils/var/run. This complicated matters when trying to restart individual Python or Perl services, as without passing an explicit PID directory argument the restart command from the language-specific script would check for a PID in a different PID directory, find none, and end up running a second copy of the service instead of restarting the existing service. The change groups all PIDs in the 'run/opensrf' subdirectory to avoid any PID file conflicts (as unlikely as that might be) if OpenSRF is installed in the default location - so rather than /var/local/run/*.pid, one will be able to look at /var/local/run/opensrf/*.pid 2010-11-10 dbs * Add the sanity-saving step of a munged PERL5LIB to the README Thanks for the nudge from Thomas Berezanksy! * Commit some unit tests for Python osrf.json module Recommendation: add *_test.py scripts that mirror each osrf.* module in src/python/tests. Boo-yah. 2010-11-09 dbs * osrf.json clean up * Use the right variable name in to_json_raw() * PEP8 compliance for variable naming * Add docstrings * Simpler __tabs() implementation * A solution for starting all Python services: make sh do the work * Enhanced do_start() implementation in Python management script Unclean shutdowns and fork() misery can create PID files that have no actual process behind them. Instead of just trusting the PID file, check for the running PID; if the process is not running, then remove the PID file and actually start the service. * Assign, don't test equality (thanks berick) * Make start_all automatically daemonize services * Give opensrf.py reasonable defaults for options Rather than: opensrf.py -l -d -f /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -p /openils/var/run/ -a start_all you can now use: opensrf.py -l -d -a start_all Isn't that better? Note that we put the PIDs into PID_DIR/run/opensrf/ so that if/when OpenSRF is installed outside of the /openils/ prefix, the names of the processes won't conflict with any other application PIDs. Unlikely, but you never know. * Try not to stomp on global variable names and built-ins, add docstrings * Typos: s/wait_for_child/try_wait_child/ and s/min_childen/min_children/ * Typo: Pass in the array of servers to the memcached client if we have one * Reference constants properly * Make pylint happier with PEP8-compliant argument name * Fix daemonize problem that surfaced in start_all Thanks to Michael Giarlo for reporting the problem, Bill Erickson for pointing the way to the solution, and http://bugs.python.org/issue5313 for providing me with more context for the problem & solution. * More debuggery for the spawning of child processes * Minutes and months were reversed in Python logging timestamps * Add a Python and curl example of invoking the Perl simpletext services * Add a streaming version of the split() method in simpletext example 2010-11-08 dbs * Make opensrf-perl.pl handle missing configuration for services more gracefully As we might want to ship configuration files with commented out sections, this will alert the user that a service was listed in the hosts section but the configuration for that service could not be found. 2010-11-05 erickson * Patch from Michael Giarlo to integrate python service control into osrf_ctl.sh. I made the following additional changes: 1. copy opensrf.py into the BIN dir during install when --enable-python is used. 2. osrf_ctl.sh will not attempt to control python services when python is not enabled for opensrf. * patch from Michael Giarlo for better sanity checking during settings file reading in python (avoid #comment's) * added osrf.apps to installed pachages (thanks for the tip, dbs). bumped version in prep for 2.0 * socket_bundle typo patch from Jason Stephenson Further discussion and DCO: http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2010-November/006476.html 2010-10-26 erickson * consistent w/ the C libs, only log server message processing duration at INFO. log server response processing duration at debug and w/ slighly different wording. let the processing duration log message act as the indication of a successfully handled message to reduce logging 2010-10-25 erickson * log message processing duration at INFO level, instead of DEBUG, consistent with the C libs 2010-10-14 scottmk * Plug a minor memory leak that could occur when we opened a TCP connection to a server. In practice this meant whenever we opened a Jabber session. We call getaddrinfo() to get a dynamically allocated linked list of addresses for a given server name. Then we traverse the list, looking for one that accepts streaming connections over IPV4, in order to get an IP address. At the end, we call freeaddrinfo() to free the linked list. Previously we would pass to freeaddrinfo() a pointer, not to the head of the list, but to the node that we used for getting an IP address. Prior nodes, if any, would leak. Also: added calls to freeaddrinfo() in the case of early returns, to avoid leaking the list in the event of an error. M src/libopensrf/socket_bundle.c 2010-10-12 erickson * implemented an optional per-service stderr log for capturing miscellaneous stderr output from services, similar to the old-style _unix.log files, since there are often useful warnings and error messages that never bubble up to syslog. for clarity, the files now use _stderr as a suffix instead of _unix. stderr logs are enabled by default. included opensrf.xml example of how to disable it for a given service * when we add xhr responses onto the end of the queue, stash the original session as well, otherwise we're attempting to ask a session questions about requests it's not tracking 2010-10-07 erickson * in json encoder, replace 2 sub calls w/ 1 hash lookup in heavily called code path. we lose some abstraction, but it's probably worth it here 2010-09-28 dbs * Work around a Net::Domain bug that can result in fqdn's like foo.example.com,bar.com The bug manifested when trying to run autogen.sh, with the output: Updating fieldmapper No Response from settings server...going to sleep This was because SettingsParser was generating invalid XPath and consquently errors in the opensrf.settings service; with no response, the attempt to run autogen.sh would die. This workaround splits the fqdn on commas and tries each possible domain in the server setting XPath. Long term we either need to wait for Net::Domain bug #60729 (https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=60729) to be resolved, or consider alternatives. 2010-09-28 miker * return the trace-augmented message as written to the log 2010-09-13 erickson * removing vestigial references to Inbound.pm, which no longer exists in the repository. this also removes get/set_listener, which were never taken advantage of and are no longer of use since the listener is thoroughly hard-coded into the opensrf stack now 2010-09-09 dbs * Bump trunk version number for OpenSRF up to 1.8.0; better than 1.4.0. perlmodstyle says "A correct CPAN version number is a floating point number with at least 2 digits after the decimal." so we're not in compliance in any case. Oh well. 2010-09-05 dbs * Update the manifest for Perl modules to avoid build warnings r2016 removed two Perl modules, src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/Transport/SlimJabber/Inbound.pm and src/perl/lib/OpenSRF/UnixServer.pm, and the build gets upset because the manifest suggests they're missing. But no, we know where they are, and we don't expect them to come back. 2010-09-01 erickson * added support for reading ContinueStatus opensrf messages in the JS opensrf lib 2010-09-01 gmc * updated mailing address of the FSF * remove executable bit from module files that don't need it Small nit to pick for Debianization. 2010-09-01 erickson * Replace Net::Server with local pre-forking server Support max/min children and max/min spare children For more, see http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2010-May/006068.html 2010-08-31 gmc * remove ntp and ntpdate dependencies Not used by OpenSRF; these are legacies of Evergreen dependencies at the time OpenSRF was split off. Quite likely a bunch of deps in Makefile.install aren't needed by OpenSRF proper.
