 16 Dec 2013, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, Abolished SYNC and ASYNC defines
|
A few months ago, definitions of SYNC and ASYNC in midas.h have been changed away from "0" and "1",
and this caused problems with some event buffer management functions bm_xxx().

15 Jan 2014, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, Fixed spurious symlinks to midas.log
|
In some experiments (i.e. DEAP), we see spurious symlinks to midas.log scattered just about everywhere. I
now traced this to an uninitialized variable in cm_msg_log() and it should be fixed now. K.O. |

15 Jul 2015, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, compiler warnings cleaned up
|
Latest C/C++ compilers (MacOS 10.10, GCC on RHEL7 and Ubuntu) generate a large number of new
warnings about unused variables, unused functions, dead code, failure to check return values of system
calls, etc.

13 Jun 2016, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, example ssl certificate removed
|
I removed the example ssl certificate from the midas git repository (ssl_cert.pem). Now every midas
installation must generate their own certificate - because to have any security at all each encryption
private key has to be unique (and it has to be secret).

02 Nov 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, Fixed mlogger memory corruption, updated mxml
|
I the agdaq system I see memory corruption in the mlogger. There were at least two bugs: one
memory allocation error in mxml and one incorrect memset() in mlogger.cxx. The mxml bug is fixed
in the mxml repository, mlogger.cxx bug is fixed in the midas-2017-10 branch.

I wanted to try to summarize the current situation with regards to the handling of strings through the MIDAS web interface.
During the last year, we started the switch-over to using the new mjson-rpc functions in the MIDAS webpages. As part of this work, changes were made that |

17 Jun 2019, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Fix, removed modbset() from mhttpd.js
|
The modbset() function in mhttpd.js is not used anywhere in midas and it misleads midas users into thinking that it works like the old ODBSet() function,
when
it can not and it does not.

17 Jun 2019, Stefan Ritt, Bug Fix, removed modbset() from mhttpd.js

I disagree. The modbset() function is used in many custom pages at PSI because people are tired of typing mjsonrpc_db_paste([path],[value]) vs. modbset(path,
value). We need to keep
modbset() which is well documented at

If it's a function intended for general use, it should be in midas.js.
The documentation for such a function should be made very clear that:

I restored this function in midas.js with a documentation blurb warning about it's asynchronous nature and about the possibility of out-of-order writes.

A ladder of promise event handlers is certainly one possibility to enforce the order of ODB writes, but I wonder if we could so something simpler:
- modbset creates an object remembering the status of the RPC request. Initially, this object receives the status "open request"
