Known bugs in Gnucomo
======================
-- When a new user is added to the database, that new user can not actuallly
- access the database tables. This is due to a lack of PostgreSQL permissions
-
-- Some packages have their version numbers parsed incorrectly in gcm_input.
- This leads to false 'property modified' notifications.
-
- A notification can not be assigned to a user.
- There is no installation script for gcm_daemon.
- There is no installation script for the web interface.
-- Packages that are missing from a 'rpm -qa' list are NOT discovered
- by gcm_input.
+- The number of notifications in the web interface is not always
+ consistent. You need to run gcm_daemon to update the notification
+ count of an object.
+
+- The number of parameters in the web interface includes the parameters
+ that were removed. Furthermore, removed parameters are displayed in
+ the parameter listings.
+
+Feb 21, 2003 - Release 0.0.5
+------------------------------
+
+- The notifications web page keeps a record of each time a notification
+ is displayed. Either on a listing or in detail.
+- Improved the table layout of the objects web page.
+- In the users page of the web interface, you can add a new user and
+ make him/her a member of a group.
+- Users can change their password through the users page of the web interface.
+- Gcm_input also detects packages that are removed from the system.
+- In gcm_input, determining the version number of a package in a RPM
+ list is improved. Only the last one or two parts of the string that
+ begin with a '-' and a number are considered the version.
+- The C++ function gnucomo_database::new_notification() uses the SQL
+ function currval() to obtain the identification number
+ of the most recently created notification.
+- The C++ class gnucomo_database prints the query on cerr, along
+ with the error message when the query results in an error.
+- Removed the 'Change Password' image from the main menu.
+ Changing passwords is integrated in te users page.
+- Added the 'form' class on table and td elements. This class is intended
+ for borderless tables that are used to layout HTML forms.
+- A new style 'h2.error' for error reports in the stylesheet.
+ Put borders around the tables and cells in the web interface.
+ Added right-alignment for numbers and fixed width for timestamps.
+- Gcm_daemon maintains the last notification identifier.
+- Setup the groups and database permissions. The three groups
+ are: view, ops and admin.
+- Added two new entries to the action table.
+- All web interface pages use the page class. This provides for a
+ uniform session and database handling.
+- Use our own error handler for PHP errors and warnings in the web interface.
+- Added log, notification and parameter counters to the 'object' table.
+ Counting these things at the time a user interface needs them is
+ too slow. Other programs, like gcm_daemon en gcm_input should prepare
+ these counters for quick retrieval.
+- Show the total number of Log entries, parameters and notifications
+ on the object page of the web interface.
+- Added new tables to the database : log_adv_daemon and log_adv_daemon_email.
+- Made gcm_daemon a 'proper' executable.
+- Paths of included files in PHP scripts are more flexible.
+- Gcm_daemon recognizes important start and stop events of various daemons
+- Gcm_daemon checks for exiting daemons in the log entries.
+- Directory structure of PHP scripts reorganized. PHP scripts that are included in
+ both gcm_daemon and the web interface are now in the directory src/phpclasses.

Feb 05, 2003 - Release 0.0.4
----------------------------
(I know RedHat 8.0 does this). You need to change this into:
- local all trust
+ local all password
This tells PostgreSQL to allow any UNIX user to log into the database
-as any database user on a local socket.
+as any database user on a local socket, using his database password.
- multiline log entries in gcm_input.
- - several files don't have version identifiers; a simple $Id: TODO,v 1.2 2003-02-05 09:57:15 arjen Exp $ in the
+ - several files don't have version identifiers; a simple $Id in the
comment would help in finding packaging bugs. (Also recommended for
the documentation files)
- Some files have lines longer that 80 characters.
- The installation description in the manifest must be
updated to include the ./configure script.
- The input filename for gcm_input can be a command argument.
- - Both the web interface and gcm_daemon use similar PHP classes.
- These classes should be unified one day and stored in a single
- directory.
+ - When gcm_input can not make a connection to the database, its input
+ message will be lost. In such a case, gcm_input should store the
+ message in a spool directory for a retry later on.
+
+Web Interface:
+ - Too many loglines, notifications, parameters are shown on one page
+ - When all the notifications of an object are shown for each notification
+ shown it has to be registered who was looking at it (just as looking at
+ the detailed notification).
+ - A page with notification (independent of object) (with sort capabilities
+ and grouping per urgency).
+ - A page with detailed object-data
+ - With an object one should be able to indicate what OS is being used
+ - Webpages should look more 'sexy'
+
+ Whish (future):
+
+ - When looking at a logline it is usefull to see the related log_adv records
+ - Linking database users to objects (only certain objects can be shown to certain users)
+
+GCM_INPUT:
+ - Indicate to gcm_input what type of data is delivered
+ - Update statistics in the object table when a new parameter is entered
+ - Update statistics in the object table when a new notification is entered
+
+GCM_DAEMON:
+ - Process e-mails
+ - Create indexes on log_adv_daemon_email
+ - Build IP-database on the basis of whois
+ - Work on undetected kernellines
+ - Create mechanism for starting and ending the daemon.
+ - Performance check on the gnucomo-database
