Preliminary Change Log 7.5.0 -> 7.6.1

MGR: menu item shuffle. • Advanced view: move Event Log to Tools. • Simple view: add Tools menu, and put Event Log and Add Project there. MGR: Don't allow user to enter start time = end time for time-of-day or day-of-week preferences. LIB: Ignore time-of-day or day-of-week settings (i.e., don't set "present" flag) if start time = end time. Mac: Correction to build instructions for trunk (BOINC 7.5.0 and later): wxWidgets can be built under Xcode 6 by using our provided build script. Mac installer: add comment on problem with BOINC+VBox installer. MGR: Fix a crash bug if connection to client is lost in Simple View. MGR: If not connected to client, disable menu items which require a connection. MGR: If not connected to client, disable snooze menu items in task bar icon menu. MGR: Don't show Advanced or Simple Preferences dialogs if RPCs fail. This fixes an unlikely case where the client connection has just been lost but the menus have not yet been disabled. Mac: update build scripts and instructions for trunk. Mac: add a hint about entering file pr folder paths in the Terminal application. Mac: tweaks to build instructions for trunk. MGR: Add 6 new tags to allow the backgrounds of the Simple View and Simple Preferences dialog to be anchored at any of 9 points, for flexibility in placement of the logo or other graphic element that should always be visible. • Vertical anchor is one of: , or . • Horizontal anchor is one of: , , . If none of the tags are present, these default values are used: • The defaults for the main Simple View background are and . • The defaults for the Simple View Preferences dialog background are and . client: bug fixes to sorting projects alphabetically.

There were two problems: 1) we were sorting before parsing the client state file (which is where we get project names from). 2) the Win implementation of strcasecmp() wasn't right; it returned difference but not order. Project list changes. client: include client brand (if any) in HTTP user agent string. client: fix bugs in accounting of elapsed time_stats_log, e.g. if you set, and you suspend CPU, NCI tasks continue to run but their elapsed time wouldn't increase. client: Win 10 OS identification additions, from Robert Kreß. client: Fix formatting issues. client: guard against divide by zero. LIB: revert incorrect modification from commit 0773510 client: set minimum cpu_usage_limit to a value which Advanced Prefs dialog will report as (i.e., truncate to) 0. Mac: update build instructions, incorporating feedback from testers. Mac: tweaks to build instructions. client: More Windows SKU updates from Robert Kreß. client: Win build fix. MGR: Remove welcome page from wizard and split the attach wizard into two menu items. MGR: Remove WelcomePage.cpp from build system. (From: Benji Wiebe) Fixed error message in boinccmd. MGR: Bug fixes for previous wizard changes. MGR: Remove non-UTF8 character that was causing problems for the string extraction tool. MGR: Remove files WelcomePage.cpp, WelcomePage.h from Xcode project. MGR: Fix some crash bugs in the code to hide or rearrange columns which can occur when changing locale to a different language. CURL: Update root authority CAs. MGR: Remove comment blocks that were being included in the translation template. MGR: Prevent the 'back' button from being enabled on the project and account manager info pages. MGR: Fix a bug in setting column order which Charlie introduced in his previous 2 commits. client: add log msgs for failed file deletion. client: detect errors in directory enumeration. Previously, the dir_scan() function didn't distinguish between • reaching the end of the directory. • errors. It just returned nonzero in either case. This means that the function that cleans out a slot dir (client_clean_out_dir()) could potentially return success even though the directory is nonempty. This could potentially cause the recently-reported problem where a slot dir contains a VM image from a previous job. client: finish previous commit. client: fix botched commit from just now. MGR: Fix compiler warning which was introduced by a previous commit. WINBUILD: Add Visual Studio 2013 project files. WINBUILD: Update dependency paths for VS 2013 projects to point towards 2013 dependencies. WINBUILD: Cleanup work to support VS 2013 builds client: fix bug when delete > 4GB file. The function to delete a slot dir file (delete_project_owned_file()) called boinc_file_or_symlink_exists(), and returning success (with no message) if this return false. boinc_file_or_symlink_exists() incorrectly returned false for > 4GB file on Win, because it used stat(), which handles only 32 bit file size.

Fix: remove the call to boinc_file_or_symlink_exists(); instead, always call DeleteFile(), and check for the ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND status. David will fix the stat() problem later. client, Win: use _stat64() instead of _stat(); _stat() returns error for > 4GB files. WINBUILD: Remove the restriction that prevented BOINC from installing on domain controllers. TODO: Block service install in the advanced settings dialog. client: get sizes of anonymous platform files on startup... because if we don't, the client won't use asynch operations for large files, which causes heartbeat failures and unresponsiveness. WINBUILD: For projects that depend on a library, make sure that they point to the VS 2013 project. (From: Christian Beer) WINBUILD: Fix building debug builds for vboxwrapper on VS 2013. WINBUILD: When building with VS 2013, use the XP compatible toolchain. WINBUILD: Last commit missed a file. WINBUILD: Oops, wrong change with the last commit. WINBUILD: Remove code-signing requirement for building BOINC installers on Windows. WINBUILD: Update CRT reference to VS 2013.
