* Tue Nov 7  2006 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 1.4
	        Now we are only using two numbers, the major and the minor.
	* jobd/jobd.c: Add connector.h header file

* Thu Sep 7  2006 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>
	
	* NEWS: Remove webmin directory. The webmin module is now an add-on that 
		can be downloaded from elsa.sf.net
	* elsa.spec: Add a script that tests if the usage of 'jobs' is okay. Add 
	        a C programm that tests if connector are available and if BSD 
		process accounting is the version 3.

	* utils/test_elsa.c: Tests if connector are available and if BSD
	        accouting is version 3.

Thu Aug 31 2006 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 1.3.0
	        - Rename elsa-x.y.z.tbz to  elsa-x.y.z.tar.bz2
		- Specify that the kernel-devel version be >= 2.6.15
		  in BuildRequires
		- Add a %doc entry for ChangeLog COPYING README

	* README: Connectors are included in Linux official tree.

	* utils/bsdacct_ver.c: Check the version of the BSD Process 
	        Accounting used by the kernel. It will be used to 
		check if ELSA can be executed on the installed system.

	* utils/Makefile: Add a command to compile bsdacct_ver.c.

Fri Jul 07 2006 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* Rules.mk, man/Makefile: Add DESTDIR variable which is used 
	        by SRPM to build a new binary package. 

	* utils/Makefile: Change the order in which commands are called 
	        during the installation. 

	* utils/test_elsa_installation.sh: Change the directory where 
	        commands can be found. 

Mon Feb 13 2006 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 1.2.1

Fri Feb 10 2006 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* job_daemin/jobd.c: As connector is not included in the libc 
		we need to include it through kernel source. The problem 
		is that there is a conflit with some definitions in 
		<time.h>. Some variable are defined in <sys/time.h> and 
		redefined in <linux/time.h> (included in cn_proc.h). Thus
		we add a ugly #define to be able to compile. We will 
		remove that hack as soon as libc includes connectors.

Wed Nov 16 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 1.2.0

		We're now using the patch provided by Matthew Helsley 
		that is the "Process Events Connector". This patch is
		included in the current -mm tree.

Mon Oct 17 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>
	
	* job_daemon/jobd.c : We're using the process events connector. 
		This patch is distributed by Matthew Helsley and it is 
		based on the fork connector.

		We added two functions to listen and ignore the fork
		connector event. Thus the switch_fork_status.c is
		not needed.

	* utils/switch_fork_status.c: Removed. This is done directly by 
		the job daemon.

Tue Sep 13 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 1.1.0

Wed Aug 31 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: ELSA is now using the new fork adviser patch

Wed Jun 22 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 1.0.0

		The first digit is '1' for the major release, the 
		second digit '0' is incremented for each minor release,
		and the third digit '0' is incremented when bugs are 
		fixed.

		This is a major release. This release provides a webmin 
		interface to display information about group of processes
		and accounting. It also provides scripts needed to manage 
		group of processes. The fork connector is part of -mm tree. 

Wed Jun 15 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* webmin : We build a new webmin interface. This interface is
		used to display information about group of processes and 
		it's also used to enable/disable the job accounting. 

Thu May 26 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* job_daemon/jobd.c, utils/fcctl.c, utils/get_fork_info.c:
		Replace NETLINK_NFLOG by NETLINK_CONNECTOR. It works 
		since linux-2.6.12-rc5-mm1

Tue May 17 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>
	
	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 0.9

Thu May 12 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>
	
	* fork connector is included in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1

	* patch/connector-send-status.patch: When asking for
		the status, the cn_fork_send_status() send a message
		through the connector. We also modify the structure
		"struct cn_fork_msg" to hold the following values:
			- ID of the cpu where the fork occurred
			- Parent process id
			- Parent thread id 
			- Child process id 
			- Child thread id

	* utils/elsad: Now it listens to the status message. Add
		colors if the command succeded.

	* utils/fcctl.c: Use the new mechanism to get the status.

	* job_daemon/jobd.c: Add a test to see if the message contains
		information about processes because now there is also
		message about status.

Fri Apr 29 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Release ELSA version 0.8

Wed Apr 27 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* Makefile: Don't install elsa/ directory because there is a
		conflict with name. So C files are always here but not
		compiled by default.
	
	* utils/Makefile: Remove .py extension when installing python scripts.

	* utils/elsa.py: This script replace the former analyzer.c, 
		acctv3dump.py and jobmsgdump.py.

	* utils/acctv3dump.py: This file is replaced by utils/elsa.py.

	* utils/jobmsgdump.py: This file is replaced by utils/elsa.py.
	
	* utils/elsad: Implement the recovery of the status. It's more a hack
		than a clean solution.
	
	* man/elsa.1: Replace the old elsa.py.1. We change the name because
		during the installation, elsa.py is renamed elsa
	
	* man/jobmng.1: Rename jobmng.1.py to jobmng.1. We change the name 
		because during the installation, jobmng.py is renamed jobmng
	
Thu Apr 25 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* utils/elsad: Rename elsa in elsad.
		
Thu Apr 25 2005 Nguyen Anh Quynh <aquynh@gmail.com>

	* patch/{connector.h,cn_fork.h}: New files. Copy those two files to 
		/usr/include/linux if needed. We do that to make 
		compilation easier for users.

	* Rules.mk: Use new variable INSTALL_DIR, INSTALL_DATA, INSTALL_PROG
		and RC. Use ':=' instead of '='.

	* all Makefiles: Use new variable INSTALL_DIR, INSTALL_DATA and 
		INSTALL_PROG.

	* Makefile: Copy header files to /usr/include/linux with the new 
		target 'header'.
	
	* man/Makefile: Install man pages into /usr/share/man to follow FSF 
		rules and gzip the man pages when installing.

	* utils/Makefile: install elsa daemon script into /etc/init.d and 
		/etc/rcN.d.

	* utils/elsa: use PREFIX variable.

	* job_daemon/Makefile: Remove '-I .'.

	* job_daemon/jobd.c: Include "jobd.h" instead of <jobd.h>.

Thu Apr 21 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm4-cnfork.patch: Replace module_init() by
		__initcall() and remove module_exit() because the fork 
		connector cannot be used as a module.

	* utils/elsa: Add a new script that can be added in /etc/init.d 
		in order to manage the start/stop job daemon.

	* utils/jobmng.py: Rename elsa.py to jobmng.py (job manager).

	* man/jobmng.py.1: Rename elsa.py.1 to jobmng.py.1.

	* man/Makefile: Add a makefile to install/uninstall/clean man pages.

Thu Apr 21 2005 Nguyen Anh Quynh <aquynh@gmail.com>

	* Rules.mk: Use PREFIX variable for all installed directories 
		since the old BINDIR, SBINDIR and MANDIR all share the 
		same prefix, so this change makes the Makefiles(s) clearer 
		and more scale (Rules.mk. also see other changes to reflex 
		this update in all Makefiles).

	* all Makefile: See comments above. Also, use INSTALL and RM for 
		intallation and remove in all install and uninstall target. 
		Fixe the current problem in the man/Makefile: if 
		/usr/local/man/man1 doesnt exist, "make -C man install" will 
		fail. That's why we must use "INSTALL = install -D".

	* man/Makefile: See comments above. Also, "make -C man install" now 
		"gzip" the man files in MANDIR.

	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm4-cnfork.patch: Isolate changes to 
		connector.h to a separate file include/linux/cn_fork.h.
		Reflex new change to fork.c and cn_fork.c, now we include 
		cn_fork.h instead of connector.h.

Wed Apr 20 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Update for 0.7.1

	* utils/elsa.py: Move the elsa/elsa.py script in the utils/ directory.
		This is to have all python scripts utilities in the same place.

		replaces the old jobd_read.c.

	* test/: Create a new directory to report results about real tests.

	* man/elsa.py.1: Describe the script elsa.py.

	* man/jobmsgdump.py.1: Describe the script jobmsgdump.py.

Tue Apr 19 2005 Nguyen Anh Quynh <aquynh@gmail.com>

	* Rules.mk: Include some variables to installed directories. All
		Makefile(s) now include this file.

	* Makefile, elsa/Makefile, job_daemon/Makefile, utils/Makefile: 
		Add install/uninstall target to Makefile(s). Now users can 
		install and uninstall the scripts/utilities/daemons to the
		system.

	* job_daemon/jobd.{c|h}: Use pid_t type instead of int. Use 
		unsigned int instead of int for jid.

Wed Apr 13 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>
	
	* NEWS: Update for 0.7

	* elsa/elsa.py: This new script replace the obsolete elsa.c
		It allows to add/remove a process from a job and
		it allows to execute a command in a new job or in 
		an existing job. You can also get information about
		all jobs.

	* elsa/elsa.c: Change the way to deal with the job daemon when
		transferring information. In particular, we remove
		the EOT test. 
		       
	* elsa/analyzer.c: Use the new jobd_msg structure to get information
		about jobs.

	* utils/jobd_read.c: Read information send by the job daemon and
		stored in a file.

	* job_daemon/jobd.h: Remove unused macro (GETINFO2_REQ, ...).

	* NEWS: Update for 0.6.1

	* elsa/analyzer.c: Print out more meaningful helps and messages.

	* elsa/elsa.c: Fix some typos and use more meaningful messages.

	* clean Makefile(s)

	* elsa/elsac.c: The new utility "elsac" (elsac stands for "elsa
		commandline") to send add/remove/halt request to server. 
		I wrote this one since elsa.c is for interactive, so it 
		is only helpful in demonstration only.

Thu Mar 31 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm4-cnfork.patch: See the announce on the 
		Linux kernel mailing-list for changes.
	
	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm3-cnfork.patch: Move the fork_connector()
		in line code in include/linux/connector.h and use the
		structure cn_fork_msg to pass information through the
		netlink interface.

Fri Mar 25 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Update for 0.6
	
	* utils/fcctl.c: To enable or disable the fork connector we use the
		ffctl application which is the fork connector controller.

	* job_daemon/jobd.c: Remove the start/stop of the fork connector. This
		part is done by the fork connector controller.

	* patch/linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm3-cnfork.patch: The unique sequence number
		of messages can be used to check if a message is lost. Now, 
		this sequence number is relative to a CPU.

	* elsa/analyzer.c: Replace g_int_hash() by g_direct_hash().
	

Wed Mar 09 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS:	We're using a the fork connector to pass information
		about forks to a user space application. The connector
		is a netlink interface.
	
Mon Feb 10 2005 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: After some discussions, it appears that LSM is not the 
		right framework for our application. Thus we wrote a new
		module called relay fork module that relays information
		about forks. It uses the sysfs file system.

Mon Nov 29 2004 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: We use the LSM hook to be alarmed when a process creates a
	        child. We don't know if it's the right framework but it is 
		the only one which is already in the official Linux tree so
		we use it until a better solution is found. 

Fri Nov 19 2004 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: We use a new kernel hook to get information about fork. The 
	        new hook prevent the direct modification of the pointer to
		the function and make some checks before modifying the 
		pointer. It's safer.

Mon Nov 08 2004 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Add an analyzer that performs the per-job accounting. It 
	        uses the BSD per-process accounting and informations given
		by the job daemon. 

Wed Oct 20 2004 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Add a new structure called jobs_list. The goal is to be 
	        able to list all processes in a job for a given job ID.
		Now we can have information with a O(1) complexity from the
		pid and it's also easy to get the same information for a 
		given job ID.

Wed Oct 13 2004 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Write elsa test application with ncurses support. It 
	        improves the usage of ELSA.

Mon Oct 11 2004 Guillaume Thouvenin <guillaume.thouvenin@bull.net>

	* NEWS: Version 0.1 of ELSA pre-released. This is a 
	        user space Enhanced Linux System Accounting.
