7/7/1998 First build to be available on Mitre external web site (general public). All java packages changed from ORG.mitre. to org.mitre. Finished writing the code so that a product's attributes can be directly set via the Juggler or PIM that handles the product. A Juggler or PIM attribute that starts with "product_" indicates that the attribute is actually to be put on the product. Thus "product_id" would override any product id that the PIM or Juggler would put on the product. Fully implemented multiple valued attributes. Agents with multiple valued attributes can be fully configured from the local admin gui or via Bert. User Interface

5/11/1998 Many bug fixes, lots of work with putDirectory DIM. Made Mementos observable to support smart daemons (including rule based expert systems). Cleaned up ExecToEditor internal API to support a variety of configuration editors. Exec - log messages have more rigid structure to support log analysis, tab separated fields. New agent - passOneRandomProduct |
035 |
4/13/1998 New Juggler - getURL, allows you to specify a URL and copy whatever the resource is without interpretation. Prior to this PIM, the only way to copy a URL was to us getOnePage which was built for copying .html pages. That PIM also copies images that may be referenced and it does some HREF mangling to resolve nonrelative URLs. getURL is much simpler if all you want is a copy of the URL. Exec - Simplified topic/generaltopic. It used to be that a topic was hierarchical. However, no one was using the hierarchy and the model was too complex. So now the topic is flat. The topic is simply a string that serves to identify a group of related information. Multiple Jugglers can have the same topic. Currently only the putBackweb juggler uses the topic. Exec - slightly enhanced logging of stacktraces in the error log by appending the name of the module that was executing at the time of the exception. Exec - added hooks so that Agent properties can be monitored by a listener. GUI - added two panels to show input and output connections for Agents. GUI - new mini-frame allows administrator to change or delete agent properties and to delete Agents while running without having to edit PDIF. Renamed "smarTraveler" to "getSmarTraveler" Bug fix - HeadlinesOnly juggler, threw null pointer exception on a BasicProduct as the only product. |

3/26/98 New Juggler - Headlines only. New Juggler - "switch". New PIM - "smarTraveler". New Castanet notifier distributed in 0support/CastanetNotifier/ Minor bugs in ValueList, Exec. Added getPropertyValues, et al, to Memento and Module classes Begin experimentation with rule based executive configuration (add on, not part of pamCore or pamStandard software) |
033 |
3/16/98 Product now as a filter/iterator concept. You can create a filter that is "applied" to a product. The product does its own recursion using the method apply(). Fixed bug restoring product source name from persistence. Fixed bug with writing multiword PDIF header attributes. Fixed bugs in Exec with accepting PDIF unnode and unconnector structures. Fixed Approve juggler. Added simple authentication features. Added basic support to Core for attributes with multiple values. New Juggler - "archive" Mitre BNN pim retested and "rewritten" to use getter.search methods. |
032 |
2/20/98 Fixed getAltavista bug where gets with just one searchword would always return nothing. Cleaned up several unused files in the source tree. Cleaned up javadoc comments in interfaces, util, product package, and PDIF parser. Added exec ability to delete nodes and connections from a remote PDIF based editor program. |
031 |
2/17/98 Added putLocalPublisher ability to create a list of URLs in a specially named file. Juggler chaining is now implemented (documentation pending). Two jugglers can be attached to each other. The last juggler in the chain should have the schedule, the other jugglers should have (schedule none). The log window now has a title based on the id of the exec. Renamed juggler method handleSetMemento to setProperty. Also added removeProperty and getProperty methods. Any PIM or Juggler can now attach arbitrary properties to their products. The syntax is to create a property of the form "product_xxx" The "product_" part is stripped and an attribute "xxx" is attached to the product. Added assert, log, reportException, debugTerse, and debugVerbose methods to the parent module. Any PIM, DIM, Juggler, or Daemon can now use these methods without having to explicitly invoke the exec. New jugger, expireOldProducts, documentation is coming. The Approve juggler has some serious problems. Don't use this. There is a bug in WrapAsZip if there are two files with the same name. Don't use this experimental juggler. |

1/20/97 Fixed negative index bug in getMail. Added two new attributes to getMail, "keepNameOfPoster" and " useAttachments" both default to true Fixed bug in getExcite which caused quoted URLs to drop the last character. Added ability to "chain" jugglers, but this has not received adequate testing. |
