* This is done by watching to registrar notifications
and providing a minimal service to contact the
media roster in private API. The roster use this
service to automatically reconnect to the media_server.
* Improve consistency by adding a BMediaRosterEx destructor
and using it for the specular functionality of ctor instead
to use the father's class destructor.
* Avoid double initialization of MediaInitializer that
becomes MediaRosterUndertaker.
* Remove superfluos call to BMediaRoster::Quit()
in media_addon_server.
* This closes#12114 again; while not POSIX, it's just a line away.
* Removed exect() from the header -- not sure where this came from.
but I can't find anything about it on the net.
* Consolidated use of asterisk style in exec.cpp.
For defining the text that appears alongside the icon.
This function really has too many parameters; we probably should break
it out into a BAction class...
* This also fixes the shutdown process, as the registrar no longer
kills the app_server.
* Removed SERVER_PORT_NAME definition as it has no use anymore.
* When creating the port of the registrar's authentication manager, we
now set it manually, so that the user/group functions work.
* This allows LaunchDaemon::_StartSession() to set up the user, and
groups as needed.
* Instead, the caller should have done this already. This is really
outside of the scope of the launch_daemon.
* Fixed Login with empty passwords; removed the (unused) test login
feature along the way.
* You can now add arbitrarily named fields to the message as well,
without having them all specified in the template.
* Also added a missing converter method that is called when there
are no values to add, and implemented all methods in the base
class, so that you only have to implement the methods you actually
need.
* 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.
