Note: There has been one GUI change that will affect people who have
used the GUI previously. The GUI created the .openipmi.startup and
.openipmi.history files with the wrong permissions. The GUI will now
refuse to run if those files are group/world readable or writable. Just
change the permissions and the problem will go away. It will now create
them with proper permissions.
This release has three major functional changes:
* You can now edit and write FRU inventory data
symbolically.
Yes, in the GUI, you can pull up some FRU data,
right-click on it, change it, and write the
changes out. You can add entries to FRU arrays
by right-clicking on the array to append, or on
items to insert before. You can delete entries
from FRU arrays by right clicking on them and
selecting "delete". It's pretty cool, and I
worked way too much on it.
* I added quite a bit of support for ATCA ECN002,
including monitoring all the IP addresses of an
ATCA shelf, safe writing of FRU shelf data, power
feed controls, and full support of all the FRU
inventory tables.
* Scroll wheels on mice now work in most of the GUI.
Hurray!
As well, I have tested this fairly extensively and shook out a few bugs
in the process.
Also, if you have your own custom OEM FRU multirecords, I added
substantial support for making it easy to define those records.
Note that multi-record data and the raw data are not kept in sync; if
you change on the other will not automatically update. If you want to
see your changes, there is now a "refresh" button to re-interpret the
changes.
The main thing left from ATCA ECN002 is handling of the fans and fan
overrides, but I'm not sure exactly what to do about that.
Here's the changelog:
2006-11-16 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/entity.c: ipmi_entity_fetch_frus_cb() violated the rule of
returning an error and still calling the done handler (and it
didn't check the done handler for NULL). Fix this problem.
* swig/python/openipmigui/_saveprefs.py: Make sure that the
startup file is only accessible by the user and refuse to start up
if it is world orgroup accessible.
* swig/python/openipmigui/_gui_cmdwin.py: Ditto for the history file.
* configure.in: Move to version 2.0.9
2006-11-15 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/domain: Fix a problem with active/standby connections; now
force command rerouting when a connection goes inactive, as well
as when a connection goes active.
* lib/domain.c: Modified command rerouting a little more. The
send sequences are now per-connection instead of per-domain and
the routing is only done when a connection goes inactive or down.
This is more reliable and will make multiple active connections
work better.
2006-11-14 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* swig/python/openipmigui/gui.py: Rework the mouse wheel stuff so
it works on older version of tk.
* swig/python/openipmigui/gui_list.py: ditto
* swig/python/openipmigui/gui_treelist.py: ditto
* Makefile.am, swig/python/Makefile.am: "make rungui" wouldn't
work on systems that could dynamically choose the glib library.
Add an LD_LIBRARY_PATH back in for that directory only.
* lib/fru.c, include/OpenIPMI/internal/ipmi_fru.h: Exported a
function to reference the FRU structure without claiming the lock.
* lib/normal_fru.c: Removed a deadlock where a FRU was referenced
while the lock was held.
* lib/fru.c: If the FRU fetch start fails, return an error.
* lib/mc.c: Fixed a deadlock in certain error cases.
* lib/oem_atca.c: Make sure the entity is gotten before creating
the FRU controls with it.
* cmdlang/os_debug.c: Can't use ipmi_mem_alloc any more to
allocate a lock, the locks are claimed too early.
* lib/ipmi_lan.c: Fixed a missing shutdown check that could cause
a race at shutdown and a possible segv.
* lib/oem_atca.c: Fixed a possible memory leak in the LEDs if an
ATCA domain is shut down while it is coming up.
* lib/sdr.c: Fix a problem with the fetch retry count being reset
to zero sometimes on a restart.
* lib/sdr.c, lib/mc.c: Added a way to stop the SDR timer
operations during cleanup of an MC.
2006-11-13 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/control.c, lib/sensor.c: Change the shutdown order of OEM
controls so the OEM data is freed last, after the control is
removed from the entity.
* lib/control.c, lib/sensor.c: Don't fail freeing an OEM control
or sensor if the index is reused. The control is still valid to
free.
* lib/oem_atca.c: Free all the FRUs for an entity when the entity
is freed at domain shutdown.
* lib/sdr.c: Fix a race where if the SDR data is asked for the
first time and then again immediately after, the DB will be
fetched twice and the second time will overwrite the first data.
Only fetch DB data if the SDR fetch state is idle. Also, when
fetching from the DB, free the SDR data if it is allocated.
* lib/control.c, lib/sensor.c: Modified the addition of
nonstandard sensor and controls so that the next unused number is
picked instead of having to supply the number.
* lib/oem_atca.c: Modified the controls for the IPMCs to let the
control code pick the control number. This handles a problem
controls not being handled correctly for ATCA blades with multiple
FRUs.
2006-11-10 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/domain.c: Don't set a connection inactive if it goes down,
let the active-reporting interface handle that. Otherwise systems
without inactive links will report inactive if the connection goes
down.
2006-11-09 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* swig/python/openipmigui/gui_list.py: Added a way to set the
style of a column entry.
* swig/python/openipmigui/gui.py: Added a "watch list" to the GUI.
You can put controls, entities, and sensors you want to watch into
this list and monitor them.

* swig/python/openipmigui/_control.py: ditto
* swig/python/openipmigui/_entity.py: ditto
2006-11-08 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Makefile.am, configure.in: Rework the setting up of the library
environment for Perl and Python. The code would, by default, pick
up the libraries from the installed directory instead of the local
directories. For lack of a better option, the modifications
LD_PRELOAD the libraries that are required. Also make the setting
of the libs required by swig cleaner and put it in a common place.

* swig/python/Makefile.am: ditto
* swig/python/openipmigui/Makefile.am: ditto
2006-11-07 Corey Minyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
