* BRoster now allows settings a "no-registrar" mode that is currently
only honored in _LaunchApp(), though.
* Job::Launch() is now using this, which also allows launching
applications by signature (ie. if the job name matches the
signature, you can omit the "launch" option).
* You can now put jobs/services into a target.
* Instead of having Login started as part of the normal boot process,
it's now in the "login" target.
* The app_server now launches the login target when a login becomes
available (ie. during startup, but that could be improved later on).
* Instead of launching Tracker/Deskbar directly, we now launch the
Login application.
* This will now start a new session for the selected user (the password
is currently ignored).
* When a user session is started, the launch_daemon forks, and the
child then restarts the LaunchDaemon application in user mode.
* It then registers itself with its parent, in order to resolve user
dependent services.
* Added a user launch file that will cause Tracker, and Deskbar to
start in the new session.
* get_roster_port_name() is no longer needed.
* This also removes the app_server restart code from the debug
server -- this will be done by the launch_daemon in the future.
* Instead of letting the kernel search for the syslog port, the
daemon now registers itself with the kernel (which even solves
a TODO).
* A port is created for the actual log messages from the launch_daemon,
and used on start.
* However, the SyslogTest does not yet work, due to the BMessage <->
KMessage communication problems.
* These methods don't really work yet, as BMessage doesn't support
replying with a KMessage; the request is received, but the reply
never gets to the target.
* Dropped "create_port" -- this is now the default for services.
* Additionally (or alternatively, if you use the "legacy" mode), you can
now create named ports, and specify their capacity.
* Added convenience methods to BLaunchRoster that automatically use the
signature of the current be_app.
* BRoster::Launch() cannot be used (yet), as it pre-registers the
application we're launching, and that won't work for the registrar or
anything else until the registrar is up and running.
* Renamed B_GET_LAUNCH_CONNECTIONS to B_GET_LAUNCH_DATA.
* Add the team ID to the get-launch-data reply.
* Added BLaunchRoster::GetPort() for convenience.
* Removed some superfluous debug output, but temporarily dump all stdio
to /dev/dprintf (ie. the syslog).
* Made job matching case insensitive (as MIME types should be).
* This enables a mechanism to profile almost the complete boot process
(starting with main2()), if SYSTEM_PROFILER is defined to 1.
* You can access the profiling data using "profile -r".
* This will be heavily inspired by Apple's launchd, as well as
systemd -- for now it really doesn't do a whole lot, though.
* What works so far: the configuration files are read, parsed, and
the jobs created.
* The jobs are even initialized, and their message ports created.
* BApplication now retrieves a previously created port from the
launch_daemon for use with BServer.
* Only the registrar actually uses this for now.
BColumnListView:
- Add helper method for getting the visible rect of a given field.
Refactor SuggestTextPosition to use it.
{Tree,Table}:
- Add wrapper to retrieve table cell rect using the aforementioned
BCLV helper.
* Address TODO about setting fSelected when nothing is done.
* Pass a pointer to the tab view to the BTab so that it can call Invalidate().
(Checked against BeOS).
* Call Invalidate() from the BTab after SetView() & SetName().
Fixes #12108 & #12196.
The media_server is now able to remember the timesource associated to
a certain registered_node and always remove it when the owner
application crash, Fixes Ticket #11852
* Drop lib/edit and matching bsd header
* Convert Debugger to libedit build package
* Should solve problems with libedit consumers
not defining _BSD_SOURCE
* Progress on #10267
netresolv (and libbind) won't cache DNS requests, which can result in a
lot of DNS requests being made for the same host. Implement a simple
cache in RAM (local to each application) which will keep the most
recently requested addresses cached. This can speed up loading of an
HTTP page a lot, by saving a DNS request for each resource stored on the
same server as the main page.
libbind development was transferred to the NetBSD project at
http://wiki.netbsd.org/individual-software-releases/netresolv/
There isn't an official release yet, but they provide a set of patches
against the latest libbind release.
* Remove all files we don't use
* Merge the changes to the remaining files
* Add some new files we need
* Move getifaddrs implementation to libnetwork (instead of libbnetapi)
so it can be used by netresolv.
Fixes #8293 : netresolv uses getifaddrs to determine if there is a local
IPv6 address. If there is not, it will not return AAAA records.
* Was leaking fQueuedJobs on destruction.
* fHaveRunnableJobSem implementation was not completed; it was never
released.
* Added Pop() variant that is a bit more flexible, and allows for a
timeout as well as waiting even when the queue is empty, and can
return a status code.
* Fixes sharing semantics, so non-shared semaphores in non-shared
memory do not become shared after a fork.
* Adds two new system calls: _user_mutex_sem_acquire/release(),
which reuse the user_mutex address-hashed wait mechanism.
* Named semaphores continue to use traditional sem_id semaphores.
* Put it in the BSupportKit namespace, following the style introduced
with the package kit for now.
* The BSupportKit::BJob class no longer knows about the package kit's
Context class. However, the BPackageKit::BJob class does.
* Due to the namespace juggling, a lot of files had to be touched.
* The JobQueue class remains private.
* Due to the way Haiku is built on itself, you cannot build this change
under Haiku with an older release.
* When you receive a message from a KMessage, and reply to it,
it will automatically reply as KMessage, too.
* This allows to communicate with BLoopers from within the kernel
or libroot.so.
"Renaming" means the icu namespace is suffixed with the version number,
atm icu_55. Using "renaming" allows to use two different versions of ICU,
thus easing upgrades. For instance haikuwebkit uses a current version of ICU,
while the system uses a newer one after an upgrade.
* Replace all uses of the icu namespace in our public headers, with a macro
defaulting to icu. As the namespace is only used for private fields pointers,
there should be no impact.
* Locale kit *.cpp have to import the macro from <unicode/uversion.h> *before*
including any locale headers. Ditto for a Time preferences cpp file. This way,
the correct current icu namespace is referenced.
* Fixes bug #12057.
Those return uintNN_t types instead of our own types,
but uint32 for example is long while uint32_t isn't,
giving some trouble with the PRI* macros for example on PPC.
It seems like glibc also has paths.h and m4 fails to bootstrap
without _PATH_BSHELL.
This file really needs some cleanup btw, since most is actually
irrelevant or incorrect for Haiku.
