Change Log 5.10.13, June 16, 2007

  • Mac: Minor fix to error handling when setting permissions.
  • Mac: Create "Uninstall BOINC" application, modify build scripts to include it in release package with BOINC Manager.
  • Mac: Fix a bug in release_GridRepublic.sh build script which created a bogus " BOINC Data/locale" directory (with a bad leading space character.)
  • WinSETUP: The VBS custom action should delete the existing VBS script when executing in uninstall mode.
  • Mac: Fix a minor bug which caused an assert in backtrace code.
  • Mac: Define NDEBUG in all projects for all deployment builds.
  • WinSETUP: The VBS custom action should delete the existing VBS script in the various uninstall modes.
  • Mac: Further work on "Uninstall BOINC" application: use various techniques to try to locate BOINC Manager in non-standard directories, use branding-independent search techniques. to include it in release package with BOINC Manager.
  • Mac: Update visible copyright date from 2006 to 2007.
  • fixes SVN ticket #241: BOINC Manager should only display one of each project, no matter how many time you switch to and from the page.
  • client: rename BOINC_DIAG_USEDEFALUTS (??) to BOINC_DIAG_DEFAULTS
  • client: improved the handling of unrecognized XML
Old: suppose we have
<name>foobar</name> <unrec> <name>blah</name> </unrec>
where "<unrec>" is unrecognized.
We'd skip the <unrec>, but parse the <name> within it. This wrong.
New: skip the entire unrecognized element
NOTE: I implemented this in the new parser (XML_PARSER) and added it for everything that uses XML_PARSER.
The old parser still isn't quite right: it will skip until the next </unrec>, but not necessarily the matching instance of that tag.
  • client: added error messages for unparsed XML in several places
  • LIB/client: use "else-less" syntax in XML parsing code
  • Mac: Add application icons to installer, uninstaller; add "are you sure?" dialog to uninstaller. Fix installer copyright and version strings.
  • fixes SVN ticket #237 - current BM fails to build with wxWidgets unicode variant (Applied Frank Thomas's patch)
  • client: fix bugs introduced by recent XML changes
