Change Log 7.6.33 - 7.7.2 (March 29, 2017)

From BOINC Wiki
Preliminary Change Log 7.6.33 -> 7.7.2
  • client: parse njobs_error in state file (don't lose info on transition)
  • client: send acct keys to acct manager only for projects attached via acct mgr.
  • Mac: modify Xcode project and build script setupForBOINC.sh for new approach to compatibility between production builds and Travis CI builds. The paths to the correct dependent library are now specified entirely in the Header Search Paths and Library SearchPaths for each target instead of the LD Flags, and we no * longer use symbolic links in a mac3rdParty directory.
  • Mac: Remove references to the obsolete targets MakeAppIcon_h and WaitPermissions from build script.
  • Mac: fix compile error from Xcode 8. All APIs deprecated as of OS 10.12 are now replaced, except for the following: [1] MGR: MacAccessibility.mm. Updating the accessibility support will require a complete rewrite to use Apple's new NSAccessibility APIs, which are not available on systems prior to OS 10.10, while retaining the current code for use with older versions of OS X. [2] API: Apple has deprecated many OpenGL / GLUT APIs as of OS 10.12. This affects these files in libboinc_graphics2.a: graphics2_unix.cpp, gutil_text.cpp and gutil.cpp. Apple recommends their proprietary APIs to replace OpenGL / GLUT. [3] All: Apple has deprecated libstdc++ and recommends switching to libc++ with a minimum deployment target of OS X 10.9, but that would eliminate support for OS 10.6 through OS 10.8.
  • lib: Mac: fix compile error from Xcode 8.
  • SCR: Mac: replace all deprecated Mac APIs as of OS 10.12.
  • MGR: Mac: finish replacing all Mac APIs deprecated in OS 10.12, except in MacAccessibility.mm as explained in commit 75179d8, but replace one API in MacAccessibility.mm that was deprecated in OS 10.6.

  • Mac: add new header file needed for replacing system() calls with posix_spawn() calls.
  • Mac: Fix build break on Mac caused by commit 5df6f25. HAVE_CONFIG_H is not defined in Mac builds of most BOINC modules.
  • MGR: Mac: use a macro in Mac Manager precompiled header to substitute posix_spawn() calls for all system() calls, since system() is deprecated in Mac OS 10.10 and Apple says to use posix_spawn() instead.
  • Mac: add new mac_spawn.cpp to project to facilitate replacing system() calls with posix_spawn() calls as instructed by Apple, since system() is deprecated in mac OS 10.10.
  • SCR: Mac: replace all deprecated Mac APIs as of OS 10.9
  • Mac: Remove targets from Xcode project for building obsolete applications MakeAppIcon_h and WaitPermissions. Note: See comments in make_app_icon_h.cpp and mac_icon.cpp for new instructions for adding icons to science applications.
