819/5/2010 Service histories now available via DimRpc from DColl, not via .hist service
9 When regular expression compiling results in error, State is set to ERROR, not
10 FATAL. The erroneous expression is ignored in the following.
1125/5/2010 Service history remains available if service itself become unavailable. If not
12 yet in memory, reading from file is tried. Improved error handling of
13 history files.
1428/5/2010 Changed name of 'State' service to 'Message' to better reflect its functionality.
15 Added client information to log file entries.
1630/5/2010 Created Bridge server that repeats services from one DNS to another.
17 Service quality now also written to slow data file.
1831/5/2010 Configuration file format follows semi-standard INI format.
197/6/2010 Separated History service from DColl. History format changed, now includes
20 service format (allows history access also when service is unavailable).
2111/6/2010 Bridge does not forward history service
2217/6/2010 Added SendToLog() method. Changed severity encoding of Message service to
23 use standard DIM structure of format "I:1;C"
2418/6/2010 Alarm server configuration accepts now one email address per server. A new
25 service for each observed server SERVERNAME/AlarmLevel contains the highest
26 level that occurred in the past. Reset of alarm level only via a DIM command.
2719/6/2010 ToString() now returns std::string
2823/6/2010 GetConfig() returns std::string. Non-blocking configuration request in case
29 GetConfig() not called from main thread. Access to configuration information
30 internally mutex protected. With ActivateSignal() a signal can be set that is send
31 to main thread upon configuration file change, the build-in signal handler then
32 invokes the (virtual) method ConfigChanged().
3324/6/2010 Workaround for erroneous /SERVICE_LIST updates. Added static tokenize method to
34 Evidence class.
3530/6/2010 Made Lock()/Unlock() publicly available (mutex of type PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK),
36 in case signal is set with ActivateSignal() this signal will be blocked while locked.
37 Implemented experimental automatic full configuration tracking for Bridge.
387/7/2010 All commandHandler() and rpcHandler() safely translates data into string
39 using ToString(). EvidenceServer class constructor now takes std::string as argument.
40 Removed default configuration file from Config.
4119/7/2010 Added documentation. Replaced std::vector by std::map at several locations. Access to
42 class-wide pointer in Message() protected by mutex (currently the memory of the
43 second-last message will not be freed correctly if severity is FATAL). Added
44 History server configuration parameters to adjust buffer size.
4520/7/2010 SendToLog() does not call Message() in case of error, but writes error message to log.
4621/7/2010 Lock()/Unlock() do not report errors via Message(), but print to console and use
47 SendToLog(). That avoids a recursion problem since Message() also uses locking.
48 The general exitHandler() will react in a special way to code 0: it will reset
49 the message severity. This feature is used by Alarm if it receives a command to
50 reset an alarm level.
