-
- 05-18-92 [0.1.0]: - Added Version numbering
- - Changed output from stdout to stderr
- - Graceful continue when xdr_???() fail.
- - Changed some output
- 05-19-92 : - Changed start: keyword to params: keyword
- - nobcast: entries are started automatically
- - RELEASED
- 05-20-92 [0.1.1]: - changed misspelled error message
- - ignored hosts reacted to terminateAll() and exited
- with Dispatcher disappeared.
- 05-22-92 : - added SNAKE_QUIRK (utils.c)
-
- well, somewhere in here, I released patch #1.
-
- 06-05-92 [0.2.0]: - removed inetray.relay totally
- - added directed broadcasts
- - added arguments to inetray.ping (Use List)
- - changed syntax of .inetrayrc (Use Lists)
-
- 06-13-92 [0.2.1]: - changed terminateAll() in comm.c to allow exit even
- if some servers don't shut down correctly.
- 06-14-92 - inetray did not work with at(1). Fixed that.
- 06-15-92 - Added PRINTSCHEDULE flag to inetray.c to allow
- checking of the printschedule (which was all right).
- 06-19-92 - Added a Rescheduling after half the image is completed.
- All outstanding blocks on machines which have not yet
- delivered a result are given priority.
- - Changed something in inetray.c: If, while writing, some
- msg arrives from a worker or server, writing is
- interrupted.
- - Removed an error in comm.c: When clnt_create() does
- not work, the machine should just be ignored.
- - added example mole.ray
- - RELEASED patch.1
-
- 06-21-92 [0.2.2]: - changed comm.c to ignore ``program not registered''
- errors on calls to START and TERMINATE. This mostly
- makes inetray.ping nicer.
- - added BLOCKSPERSERVER to config.h
- 06-24-92 - modified rpc.inetrayd.c: an obscure kernel bug on
- some SUNs made wait give back a wrong pid's status.
- Therefore, I modified rpc.inetrayd.c such that even
- under those circumstances the worker is killed.
- Note: It seems that this bug only surfaces on
- heavily loaded machines.
- 06-26-92 - After rereading K&R last nite I found out that I
- could get rid of wPrint() in utils.c - so I did.
- - added MINBLOCKSIZE, MAXBLOCKSIZE & BLOCKSPERSERVER
- to .inetrayrc; with those you can tweak the
- scheduler to be more permissive about relative
- machine speeds.
- - changed scheduler, so that last block is smaller
- than all the others.
- - changed the handling of the SUN4 kernel bug
- described above a bit. Should be less of a problem
- now.
- - RELEASED
-
- 06-28-92 [0.2.3] - the program netinfo has been added to allow users to
- find the real addresses of their machines. This
- program is much simpler to use than ifconfig.
- - RELEASED
-
- 06-29-92 [0.2.4] - changed Makefile; does not use the install command
- any more but is portable.
- 07-01-92 - Heh, heh; the ``kernel bug'' was not really a kernel
- bug after all: popen also forks to call the cpp,
- this process is never waited for. So I added that to
- rpc.inetrayd.c.
-
- 07-03-92 [1.0.0] - Decided that it's time to release Inetray
- officially. [0.2.4] is therefore never released.
- - Changed something in comm.c to display the internet
- numbers nicely (columns).
- - Bug in comm.c when gethostbyaddr() returns NULL due
- to a system error.
- - RELEASED
