01 Dec 2009, Stefan Ritt, Info, Redesign of status page links
|
The custom and alias links in the standard midas status page were shown as HTML
links so far. If there are many links with names having spaces in their names,
it's a bit hard to distinguish between them. Therefore, they are packed now into

04 Dec 2009, Stefan Ritt, Info, Redesign of status page columns
|
Since the column on the main midas status page with fraction of analyzed events is
barely used, I decided to drop it. Anyhow it does not make sense for all slow
control events. If this feature is required in some experiment, I propose to move it

04 Dec 2009, Stefan Ritt, Info, Custom page showing ROOT analyzer output 
|
Many midas experiments work with ROOT based analyzers today. One problem there is that the graphical output of the root analyzer can only be seen through
the X server and not through the web. At the MEG experiment, we solved this problem in an elegant way: The ROOT analyzer runs in the background, using
a "virtual" X server called Xvfb. It plots its output (several panels) normally using this X server, then saves this panels every ten seconds into GIF |
04 Dec 2009, Stefan Ritt, Info, New '/Experiment/Menu buttons'
|
The mhttpd program shows some standard buttons in the top row for
starting/stopping runs, accessing the ODB, Alarms, etc. Since not all experiments
make use of all buttons, they have been customized. By default mhttpd creates

12 Dec 2009, Stefan Ritt, Info, New MSCB page implementation

A new page has been implemented in mhttpd. This allows web access to all devices from an [URL=http://midas.psi.ch/mscb]MSCB system[/URL] and their variables:

30 Jul 2010, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, macos 10.6 success
|
As of svn rev 4794, midas builds, runs and should be fully usable on MacOS 10.6.4. Previous revisions did
not compile due to assorted Linuxisms and did not run because of a sizeof() problem in ss_gettid(). Also
one of the system header files (mtio.h?) present in MacOS 10.5 vanished from 10.6.

04 Aug 2010, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, YBOS support now optional, disabled by default
|
As of svn rev 4800, YBOS support was made optional, disabled by default. (But note that ybos.c is still used
by mdump). See HAVE_YBOS in the Makefile.

31 Aug 2010, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Experimental POSIX shared memory support
|
As of svn rev 4807, src/system.c has an experimental implementation of POSIX shared memory. It is
similar to the already existing implementation of MMAP shared memory, but uses POSIX shm_open()
instead of directly mmapping the .xxx.SHM file.

mhttpd.c svn rev 4823 implements a modified history planel editor. all previous functions should work
as before (minus new bugs).

In svn rev 4825, I added host based access control to mserver (the MIDAS RPC server). The implementation
is a verbatim copy mhttpd host based access control list (-a command line switch).

Prior to odb.c rev 4829 and mhttpd.c rev 4830 committed a few minutes ago, HTML javascript
ODBGet("/non_existant_odb_entry") caused ODB corruption requiring ODB reload from backup file.

We had javascript ODBGet() and ODBSet() functions for some time now, permitting implementation of
"page-reload-free" "self-updating" web pages. I finally got around to put all the javascript bits together
to actually implement such a page. The main difference from a normal MIDAS "custom" page is the data
