Fix Solaris SPARC discovery of CD/DVD to properly report speed on
SCSI/ATA devs.
============ VERSION 9.0.0-H34 (2010/09/13) ============
######## BUG FIXES ########
* sie/class/general
Fix Primary User discovery on Solaris which sometimes may cause a
seg fault or report incorrect data. Failure can occur when we
directly read wtmp/wtmpx files. We have re-activated support for
using getutent()/getutxent() but now we use utmpname()/utmpxname()
to specify the wtmp/wtmpx file we want to read. Additional error
checking/validation is also performed for all wtmp/wtmpx methods.
* sie/class/netif
Fix error in debug message statements in HPUX lanadmin parser
which could result in core dump when debug is enabled.
============ VERSION 9.0.0-H33 (2010/08/24) ============

new machinfo(1) output format.
* sie/class/general
Fix "CPU Count Socketed" on Solaris 9 SPARC to be correct on
certain platforms. We previously ignored psrinfo on < Solaris 10
but the psrinfo now appears valid on Solaris 9 so we now use it on
that OS version.
* sie/class/netif
Fix MAC address discovery on HPUX via lanadmin to insert leading
'00' elements as necessary since the address displayed by lanadmin
may ommit leading '00'.
* sie/class/netif
Improve validity checks of DLPI Mac Addr discovery to check for
garbage content.
* sie/class/netif
Fix MACaddr discovery on HPUX to work when DLPI fails. The DLPI
discovery was setting MACaddr but as a zero length string which
prevented the lanadmin parser from setting the discovered MACaddr.
The generic DLPI MACaddr discovery has been fixed to check for
MACaddr strings which are < 11 chars.
============ VERSION 9.0.0-H32 (2010/07/29) ============
######## BUG FIXES ########
* sie/class/general
Fix how Boot Time and Up Time are discovered on Linux to use
getutid() first and then fall back to /proc. Previously we used
/proc only which could result in Boot Time values which changed by
1 second in between runs of SysInfo on the same host.

Fix possible NULL deref resulting in core dump during device
discovery. This is a result of strdup(DevData->DevName) with no
null check from a fix in 9.0.0-H22.
* sie/class/hardware
Improve CPU Model detection on Intel X86/X64 CPU's. We now
include lookup in our CPUID db to include the CPU Family value.
If not found, we revert to prior lookup without Family. This
should improve detection of Xeon vs. Core Duo CPU's which often
have the same fingerprint.

Fix NULL deref core dump bug introduced in previous HF in debug
messaging for creating new parent's of software nodes in some
cases.
* sie/class/software
Fix bug in software discovery on AIX which can lead to infinite
loop of discovered packages. This occurs when we auto create a
package for a new pkg's parent without a Version for the parent
and then later we re-add the parent with a Version. We now update
the internal hashtables in this case.
============ VERSION 9.0.0-H15 (2009/12/04) ============
######## BUG FIXES ########

siteinfo keys "primaryuserlogin" and "primaryusername" and (if
found) use as overrides.
* sie/class/general
Implement new "Chassis Serial Number" attribute for class General.
This value is usually only reported on Blade systems. On Blade
systems Chassis Serial is the serial of the enclosure and System
Serial is the serial of the Blade card. On non Blade systems
Chassis Serial is not reported. Currently Chassis Serial is only
available on systems which support IPMI access to Baseboard
Management Cards (BMC's).
* sie/class/hardware
Move the probe for monitor EDID data on Linux X86 from within the
main SIE to be a seperate SysInfo driver process. This isolates
SIE from any unexpected faults and bugs in the VBE code in the

######## BUG FIXES ########
* sie/class/device
Fix bug in SMBIOS decoding of memory devices where MEMDEV and
MEMMOD devices discovery could overwrite each other. This can
result in some memory devices not reporting all possible
properties such as "Speed". Under some circumstances extra
memoryX devices could also be reported which are actually
duplicates. This could occur if --class general,device are run
together. It's also limited to a select number of SMBIOS
configurations.
* sie/class/general
Fix primaryuserlogin and primaryusername on HPUX which has wtmpx

Type and TypeClass.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Hardware discovery problems which could result with
incorrectly Parent devices and other strange results due to
DevFind() looking for NodeID <= 0 instead of NodeID == 0. We also
now enforce use of DevFindInit() in DevFind(). Fixes at least one
issue with bad Parent reporting on Solaris SPARC.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Serial on MacOS diskdrive devices to be copied from Parent if
Parent is driver.

due to typo. - Fix diffrpt to load our own PM modules at runtime.
- Various fixes to port back to MacOS.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix SMBIOS handling of PORT devices to use SMBIOS Internal
location as device name which provides much closer matching to
previously discovered devices such as usbX devices. This results
in greater attribute reporting for these devices as well.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix Unit values for SMBIOS device types BIOS, SYSBOARD, ENCLOSURE,
MEMARRAY, MEMCTL, PROC, and SLOT to be consistant for each device
Type. Previously a device's Unit could change depending on if how
many internal functions searched SMBIOS devices each call
incrementing the Unit value for the next scan of SMBIOS.

Fix Hardware class API code to detect and fix when a device has a
Master name equal to it's own name.
* build
Include LIBS in linker options when linking libmcsysinfo and
libmcsnmp in order to satisfy MacOS linker.
* build
Don't use our own DRIVER_INFO_6 type declare anymore as mingw now
includes one.
* build
Don't cache configure vars relating to product version since we
often update hotfix data in these vars.
* build
Fix nsis/GNUmakefile.in to use BuildDir instead of objdir for
SaveVarFile.
* build/installer
Fix Windows installer to create the "SysInfo with Debugging" menu
shortcut to place logfile on users Desktop.
* class/filesys
If an NFS mount is hung, SysInfo now times out instead of hanging.
This is implemented via new "mntinfo" driver which performs all
statvfs/statfs calls which are the calls which block when an NFS
mount is hung.
* class/storsys
Fix rare core dump in nafiler due to NULL deref. - Add configure
testing for ioctl() support. - Integration of 6.0 changes.
* doc/ReleaseNotes

Fix UNIX installer to not fail with a Chown() error if not run as
root with --override.
* license
If a FULL product license exists, do not auto-create any feature
licenses such as for StorSys Pro. This reduces user confusion.
* mcsysinfod
Fix SysInfo Agent such that it fully divorces itself from the
process (shell, init, setup, etc) which invoked it. This fixes a
problem where SSH would hang if it was used to invoke the setup
installer or if it ran /etc/init.d/mcsysinfo.
* setup
Fix setup meter progress bar to not reprint entire line to improve
performance and reduce overhead. We also no longer use the meter
bar if --debug is given.
* setup
Fix minor bug with extra "-" chars being displayed when showing
the SUMMARY field.
* sie/class/filesys
Fix FileSys, PartInfo, and Hardware class to not hang if an NFS
mount is hung. We have moved the statvfs()/statfs() calls which
block on hung NFS mounts into a new driver program called mntinfo.
SIE now calls mntinfo and parses it's output for all file system
related data. If mntinfo hangs SIE will time-out and kill mntinfo
then continue. This fix also contains fixes for Cmd_t time-outs
to work when the child process blocks.
* sie/class/general
Fix CPU Type and Kernel/App Arch discovery on MacOS to use
uname(1) command instead of utsname(2) function for portability
between PowerMac and Intel Mac.
* sie/class/general

Fix Primary User utmp code to build on MacOS 10.4.x.
* sie/class/general
Correctly report "1" as the value for "CPU Count Physical" on
multi-core SPARC systems T1000 and T2000. We previously reported
the core count as the Physical count.
* sie/class/general
Fix OS Dist Version discovery on Solaris to first use uname(2) and
parse the "release" value. This works even when Solaris is run on
a non-FCS release which may use a code-name for the Solaris
version instead of a number.
* sie/class/general
Fix "OS Dist" discovery on Linux systems which do not have
lsb_release to look for "LINUX" as well as "Linux" in /etc/issue.
* sie/class/general
Avoid possible hang on AIX when obtaining "OS Version" using the
oslevel command by using Cmd_t interface without a 60 second
timeout.
* sie/class/general
Fix core dump bug when obtaining OS Dist info from /etc/issue. If
/etc/issue is not in the expected format, we were core dumping.
* sie/class/general
Add timeout handler for GNU libc discovery to prevent hangs on
systems which may have other more serious problems.
* sie/class/general
Fix reporting of "Number of CPUs (Physical)" on AIX systems with
LPAR (hardware partitioning) to use LPAR provided value. This
means we now report the true physical CPU count.

Fix the BitSize reported for Intel CPUs to be based on the Kernel
Bit Size rather than hardcoding "32" for most CPUs which is
incorrect in lite of EM64T.
* sie/class/hardware

treat Serial as an ASCII string instead of a numeric value.
* sie/class/hardware
If a device Model contains "CD-RW/DVD-ROM X1234" remove the full
"CD-RW/DVD-ROM" instead of leaving "/DVD-ROM" in string. We also
give preference to classify such devices as DVD instead of CD now.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix DMI handling of memory speed, mfg, serial, and part number
such that these values are only used if the DMI header length is
large enough to indicate these fields are present.

Fix incorrect speed of network interfaces on Windows by ignoring
bogus values obtained via NDIS.
* sie/class/hardware
Fix memory devices found via SMBIOS to show "empty" in Status
field instead of ModelDesc to be consistant.

Fix API to parse and report on Windows Domain Name and Windows
PDC. Data was discovered, but not being reported.
* sie/class/software
On HPUX we now use the "title" field for VendorName if the
"vendor" tag is set. This results in more consistant and full
company names being reported.

were reporting incorrect sizes for filesystems which used 512 byte
blocksize vs. the AIX normal 4096 byte blocksize.
* sie/class/software
Fix RPM Software class queries to not fetch file data unless
+swfiles is given. This is the documented behavior and saves
signficant runtime CPU and memory.

Fix "--list class" to only list options which are supported on the
runtime platform.
* sie/core
Fix sie to accept and do nothing with --installpost.
* sie/core
Fix build on HPUX to once again use +s flag to loader which tells
HPUX to look at $SHLIB_PATH for shared library directories. This
allows SysInfo to actually run and not give "dld.sl" errors about
mcsysinfo.sl.

Fix bug in parsing of config/*.cf files which could sometimes
result in spurious "Error parsing file" errors.
* sie/core
Only build rpm software discovery code on platforms which support
it.

Add new "--logfile" option to log messages to a file.
* sie/mcsysinfod
Add version to mcsysinfod cache directory path.
* sie/mcsysinfod
Use Cmd_t instead of popen() for better portability and increased
ability to detect failure of "sie".
* sie/platform/freebsd
Fix build on FreeBSD to static link libm instead of leaving it
dynamic. This is needed because FreeBSD 5.4 has a newer libm.so
than previous 5.x which breaks backwards compat.

/etc/issue on Linux systems like SuSe 9.2.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug which resulted in missing CPU's on Sun Fire 6800 systems
(and others) which have LDI node names of "cpu".

the "X" value.
* sie/platform/windows
Fix various compile warnings on Windows.
* sie/ui
Improve runtime startup by having mcsiwrapper pass MCSYSINFO_* env
vars containing OS Name, OS Version, etc. mcMiniSysInfo() uses
these values if set. If not set, it falls back to running
uname(1) and other commands. - Changes to get perl CLI running on
Windows.

Fix bug causing Software entries to not be displayed under their
parent products when using Tree format in the CLI and GUI.
* ui/cli
Add "--font" to "--help" output.

Fix bug where "--show hostname,memory,..." would result in the "G
E N E R A L ..." banner being displayed for each --show argument.
* ui/core
Fix problem with fatal error during startup if there is a copy of
sysinfo installed as /opt/sysinfo and another installed elsewhere.
The later copy will fail with perl errors because we were looking

Fix bug in DOS Partition code which reports on parititioning on
X86 systems to correctly report Start, Size, and End sectors for
larger (~70GB) disks.
* sie/core
Fix incorrect handling of changing our real UID to 0 when
executing some external OS commands.
* sie/driver/all
Nearly all drivers never properly based their ProgramName onto the
message functions which resulted in no program name being
displayed in some error and debug messages.
* sie/license
Improve DEMO license message for storsys-pro to state implicitly
that the DEMO license is not for SysInfo base, but this optional
feature.
* sie/platform/hpux
Fix device names for disk drives to be "cXtXdX" instead of
"diskX".
* sie/platform/linux
Fix to make DMI retrieval of hardware info work on Linux 2.6.6 and
later IA64 systems.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix bug which could result in "0 Bytes" being reported for "System
Memory". This usually occurs on Linux 2.6 IA64 systems.
* sie/platform/linux
On Linux 2.6 systems we now query block devices such as /dev/sdX
directly instead of using /dev/sgX since the later is deprecated
as of 2.6 and not always present. Previous to this fix on many
2.6 systems we reported no SCSI disks.
* sie/platform/linux
Reduce size of PCI device data read from 256 to 64 bytes in order
to avoid hanging poorly compliant devices such as the PCI bus on
Dell 6650 servers.

Improve device identification by using new PCI VendorID and
DeviceID data made available via libdevinfo with Solaris 10.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix core dump problem on Solaris 10 X86 systems when probing for
hardware. Bug was in code trying to set CpuInfo->BitSize.
* sie/wrapper
If "--show" and "--format report" are both given call SIE directly
since the UI layer cannot handle this combination.
* ui/wrapper
" label to beginning of all debug output lines. Also capture $0
as $ProgramName and re-use $ProgramName to avoid $0 changing.
============ VERSION 5.1.2-GA (2005/02/14) ============
######## NEW FEATURES ########
* doc/UserGuide
Add chapter on SiteInfo data.
######## BUG FIXES ########
* build
Fix problem with configure getting wrong $objdir value on Linux
systems. It was being set to "linux-X.X-x86" where it should be
"$osdist-X-x86".
* build
Add missing libmcsysinfo/os/sunos/netif.c to source dist.
* class/hardware
Fix DMI decoding of CACHE size to work properly with larger cache
size values (>= 1MB).

files so that the option works when "--format report" is
specified.
* sie/core
Fix sie "--license --nodemo --format report" to not report
auto-generated demo licenses.
* sie/core
Fix rpm(1) command to be run as user in order to avoid rpm hangs
common when rpm is run as root. This fix also fixes a common bug
with running external commands with excessive privs.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug which resulted in some devices being incorrectly attached
to the wrong parent device. Bug was in new libdevinfo(7) code
introduced in 5.1.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix problem caused by Solaris 8 SPARC patch which results in
internal disks on systems such as the Sun Fire V880 to no longer
be discovered. Part of this fix also includes using device names
obtained from libdevinfo(7) in preference to our own device name
database. This will more align reported device names with the
names used by the Solaris kernel.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix LDI code on Solaris to implement correct decoding of CPU speed
values obtained via LDI. We were reporting significantly
incorrect speed values on newer, higher speed CPU's.
* ui
Include the version status in the cache directory path. i.e. Use
"5.1.1-H10" instead of "5.1.1".
* ui
Fix '--format report' cache bug which caused the cache file path
under /tmp to not include the product version.
* ui
Fix caching so that '--format report --repsep X' uses the cache.
To do so, we now store and compare the '--repsep X' values.
* ui
Fix bug where by '--format report' was previously not using the
file cache. If '--format report --cache no' is given, then we
bypass the cache as before.
* ui/cli
Add $cfdir as set by "configure --with-cfdir=..." (at build time)
to the list of dirs to search for .cfg files.
* ui/cli
Fix things so that "--nodemo" actually works. The
initial/previous patch only partially implemented this feature.

Don't display class title for classes which have no data to
present.
* ui/html
Fix bug causing output to be mixed and repeated when reporting on
multiple classes simultaneously encoded as html.

Move all driver source code into "drivers" subdir. - More fixes
for combining everything back into libmcsysinfo. Break libmcsnmp
back out as seperate lib.
* build
Move libmcsysinfo/std/dmi* into libmcsysinfo/dmi/dmi*.

Modify buildinfo to call sysinfowrap.in to obtain bulk of platform
variables instead of having duplicate code.
* build
Source distributions are now compressed with bzip2 instead of
gzip.

Use "include @VarsMF@" instead of reading in @VarsMF@ in
GNUmakefile's to avoid having to rebuild GNUmakefile's whenever
Vars.mf changes.
* build/config
Add --with-strip and --without-strip to control whether we ran
strip(1) during "make install". The default remains not to run
strip(1).

bar if --debug is given.
* setup
Fix minor bug with extra "-" chars being displayed when showing
the SUMMARY field.
* setup
Shell commands during setup (and potentially during sysinfo
runtime) were falsely marked failed when setup was run by root (or
any uid==0 user). The result was setup would abort for no
apparant reason or indicate it was unable to check disk space.
* setup
Need to properly edit @ProdVersion@ during setup install in order
to use proper /tmp cache directory and others.

" at the begging of each debug output line by default.
* sie
Fix debug message "Executing" to be "Running" in shlib in order to
make debugging more consistant.

Rename Device Names to match the official system network interface
name used by ifconfig and netstat. This previously resulted on
HPUX reporting a Device name of 'igelan1' but HPUX only recognized
this device as 'lan1'.
* sie/class/device
Fix possible NULL deref resulting in core dump during device
discovery. This is a result of strdup(DevData->DevName) with no
null check from a fix in 9.0.0-H22.
* sie/class/device
Fix bug in SMBIOS decoding of memory devices where MEMDEV and
MEMMOD devices discovery could overwrite each other. This can
result in some memory devices not reporting all possible
properties such as "Speed". Under some circumstances extra
memoryX devices could also be reported which are actually
duplicates. This could occur if --class general,device are run
together. It's also limited to a select number of SMBIOS
configurations.
* sie/class/device
Rename Device Names to match the official system network interface
name used by ifconfig and netstat. This previously resulted on
HPUX reporting a Device name of 'igelan1' but HPUX only recognized

alternative to "Speed" for UI's.
* sie/class/filesys
On Windows do not run mntinfo driver with --debug as stdout is
mixed with stderr.
* sie/class/filesys
Fix FileSys, PartInfo, and Hardware class to not hang if an NFS
mount is hung. We have moved the statvfs()/statfs() calls which
block on hung NFS mounts into a new driver program called mntinfo.
SIE now calls mntinfo and parses it's output for all file system
related data. If mntinfo hangs SIE will time-out and kill mntinfo
then continue. This fix also contains fixes for Cmd_t time-outs
to work when the child process blocks.
* sie/class/general
Fix Primary User discovery on Solaris which sometimes may cause a
seg fault or report incorrect data. Failure can occur when we
directly read wtmp/wtmpx files. We have re-activated support for
using getutent()/getutxent() but now we use utmpname()/utmpxname()
to specify the wtmp/wtmpx file we want to read. Additional error
checking/validation is also performed for all wtmp/wtmpx methods.
* sie/class/general
Fix how Boot Time and Up Time are discovered on Linux to use
getutid() first and then fall back to /proc. Previously we used
/proc only which could result in Boot Time values which changed by

problems. SIE continues to exit 0 on success and now exits > 0 on
error.
* sie/core
Only list/show classes which are at least supported by the runtime
platform (if not the local system). We previously always attempted

Avoid possible stack corruption in Report*() functions by using
improved initialization code. Also fix casting and declarations in
strutil.c.

Ignore values of "none" from DMI for such things as System Serial
Number.
* sie/core
Avoid sending SCSI "SPEED" query to EMC devices to avoid bug in

Fix XML output to filter reserved chars "&", "<", and ">" to
proper XML values.
* sie/hardware
XML output of CacheInfo is now reported. Previously it was not
output in XML.

Obtain disk drive capacity even with SCSI queries are not
available which is the usual case.
* sie/platform/AIX
Fix missing "return" values.
* sie/platform/freebsd
Fix build on FreeBSD to static link libm instead of leaving it
dynamic. This is needed because FreeBSD 5.4 has a newer libm.so
than previous 5.x which breaks backwards compat.
* sie/platform/hpux
Fix "CPU Type" to work with most modern HP systems. We had a bug
which used an incorrect System Model value which worked on older
systems, but not newer systems.
* sie/platform/hpux
Fix a bug in the hardware class probe code which resulted in a
device not being reported at all if a timeout occured during

/etc/issue on Linux systems like SuSe 9.2.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix to make DMI retrieval of hardware info work on Linux 2.6.6 and
later IA64 systems.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix bug which could result in "0 Bytes" being reported for "System
Memory". This usually occurs on Linux 2.6 IA64 systems.
* sie/platform/linux
On Linux 2.6 systems we now query block devices such as /dev/sdX
directly instead of using /dev/sgX since the later is deprecated
as of 2.6 and not always present. Previous to this fix on many
2.6 systems we reported no SCSI disks.
* sie/platform/linux
Reduce size of PCI device data read from 256 to 64 bytes in order
to avoid hanging poorly compliant devices such as the PCI bus on
Dell 6650 servers.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix "OS Dist Short Name" to say "rhel" instead of "redhat" on
Redhat Enterprise Linux systems.

Look for "vendor" and "family" in /proc/cpuinfo for Linux 2.6
systems.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix disk drive capacity reporting on to use
/proc/ide/$disk/capacity in favor of ATA report geometry. This
fixes a problem where Linux was reporting incorrect geometry in
/proc/ide/$disk/geometry and via ATA Query.
* sie/platform/linux
Fix problem on Linux 2.6 where by SCSI devices where not attached
to their controller (parent) devices.
* sie/platform/linux
Avoid opening /dev/hdX devices for cd/dvd drives on Linux 2.6
systems to avoid Linux bug which hangs us up.

Update system model definetions for Apple Mac's.
* sie/platform/mac,freebsd
Fix bug which lead to core dump or missing MAC info due to
incorrect parameters being passed to SetMacInfoSysCtl().
* sie/platform/storsys/nafiler
Fix bug in nafiler driver which resulted in missing disks and
incorrectly named ctlrs due to parsing bug.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug in ./configure which resulted in HAVE_DLPI not being
defined during build due to incorrect AC_DEFINE() placement inside
of AC_CACHE_CHECK. Result was no netif MAC info was provided on
Solaris.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug which resulted in missing CPU's on Sun Fire 6800 systems
(and others) which have LDI node names of "cpu".
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug resulting in incorrect "cpuX" device names being used. We
were not looking for "cpu_id" and "portid" as LDI properties for
the "X" value.
* sie/platform/sun
Add "FJSV,pgtb-fjgi" netif entry to sunos.cf.
* sie/platform/sun
Add support for Solaris 10 on SPARC and X86.
* sie/platform/sun
Use libdevinfo(3) to get "Cpu Model" on Solaris X86 systems (and
SPARC). We previously reported no value for "Cpu Model" on
Solaris X86.
* sie/platform/sun
Improve device identification by using new PCI VendorID and
DeviceID data made available via libdevinfo with Solaris 10.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix core dump problem on Solaris 10 X86 systems when probing for
hardware. Bug was in code trying to set CpuInfo->BitSize.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix bug which resulted in some devices being incorrectly attached
to the wrong parent device. Bug was in new libdevinfo(7) code
introduced in 5.1.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix problem caused by Solaris 8 SPARC patch which results in
internal disks on systems such as the Sun Fire V880 to no longer
be discovered. Part of this fix also includes using device names
obtained from libdevinfo(7) in preference to our own device name
database. This will more align reported device names with the
names used by the Solaris kernel.
* sie/platform/sun
Fix LDI code on Solaris to implement correct decoding of CPU speed
values obtained via LDI. We were reporting significantly
incorrect speed values on newer, higher speed CPU's.

Fix report output for wide data to print "name" field if the Name
(narrow) data member is empty. We now correctly check NameW to see
if it's set.
* sie/report
Fix ReportDataW() with R_PROP to always output Ident field.
Previously this field was not output if Ident or Name was empty.
This needs to always be output to be consistant with narrow
function ReportData().
* sie/report
Fix report output for wide data to print "name" field if the Name
(narrow) data member is empty. We now correctly check NameW to see
if it's set.
* sie/rpm
Fix bug in rpm code which resulted in core dumps on Solaris
when "rpm" command was found. Bug was due to access to
unallocated memory segment during "rpm --querytags".
* sie/ui
Improve runtime startup by having mcsiwrapper pass MCSYSINFO_* env
vars containing OS Name, OS Version, etc. mcMiniSysInfo() uses
these values if set. If not set, it falls back to running
uname(1) and other commands. - Changes to get perl CLI running on
Windows.
* sie/ui
Calculate location (if any) of libperl.so when configure is run
and have sysinfowrap set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and equiv)
appropriately. This allows for use of perl compiled
shared/dynamic. This also removes the $PerlVersion hard coding in
sysinfowrap previously used on MacOSX.
* sie/wrapper
Fix SetPrivs() to allow non-root setuid() to be permitted.
* sie/wrapper
Instead of using command line perl script to determine perl -I
args, write the script to a file and then run that file. This is
required for Windows which doesn't handle perl code on the command
line.
* sie/wrapper
If "--show" and "--format report" are both given call SIE directly
since the UI layer cannot handle this combination.
* srcdist
Include mcsysinfod/StartupParameters.plist in source
distributions.

Fix various typos in Perl code which resulted in perl warnings
when run with 'strict' checks.
* ui
Fix UI handling of strings with '%' to avoid perl printf problems.

Remove '%' chars from debug and CLI output messages to avoid perl
barfing on it when used in printf().
* ui
Remove ",*" from vendor names when building a device summary.
* ui
Do not refer to ".." for "use lib" calls in sysinfoui as this can
lead to a significant performance hit if we are run in $HOME and
/home is automounted.
* ui
Fix Hardware summary line to include device Status.
* ui
Fix bug causing Software entries to not be displayed under their
parent products when using Tree format in the CLI and GUI.
* ui
Include the version status in the cache directory path. i.e. Use
"5.1.1-H10" instead of "5.1.1".
* ui
Fix '--format report' cache bug which caused the cache file path
under /tmp to not include the product version.
* ui
Fix caching so that '--format report --repsep X' uses the cache.
To do so, we now store and compare the '--repsep X' values.
* ui
Fix bug where by '--format report' was previously not using the
file cache. If '--format report --cache no' is given, then we
bypass the cache as before.
* ui
Fix "supported" english language typo.
* ui
Improve wrapper to provide more baseline information to other
parts of build process.
* ui
Translate 'device' to 'hardware' when specified with --class.

Fix bug where "--show hostname,memory,..." would result in the "G
E N E R A L ..." banner being displayed for each --show argument.
* ui/cli
Add $cfdir as set by "configure --with-cfdir=..." (at build time)
to the list of dirs to search for .cfg files.

Fix things so that "--nodemo" actually works. The
initial/previous patch only partially implemented this feature.
* ui/cli
Fix StorSys CLI reporting to include disk drives which were not
previously displayed as they should have been.
* ui/cli
Fix Storage System summary line in CLI output to include
ModelDesc.
* ui/core
Fix problem with fatal error during startup if there is a copy of
sysinfo installed as /opt/sysinfo and another installed elsewhere.
The later copy will fail with perl errors because we were looking
at the /opt/sysinfo copy when we shouldn't.
* ui/gui
Fix bug which caused sysinfo GUI to run system out of memory when
displaying "software" class info.
* ui/gui
Fix Windows SysInfo icon to remove extraneous white noise around
edges.

Fix "Browse..." popup windows for Report and Diag to be a "Save
as" diaglog instead of an "Open" dialog. Set initial starting
directory and file types.
* ui/GUI
Set window icon for all popup window types. - Fix "--outfile
" to work once again (broken post 5.1).
* ui/gui
Insure that the product version gets passed down into the UI Cache
functions for use in the cache pathname. Previously it was not,
although the CLI worked fine.
* ui/GUI
Fix problem where by when the GUI exits (such as due to a user
request for exit), the windows would shut down, but the process
would never actually exit. This is some kind of Tk bug which we
now workaround.
* ui/GUI
Fix bug which caused user to always be prompted to accept license
in GUI on startup. Problem was we needed to mkdir
$HOME/.mcsysinfo if it doesn't exist.
* ui/gui
Fix problem with File -> Open... resulting in error + stack trace.
