ChangeLog for taskmain ====================== Version 2.2 - 2020-11-15 (EO) ----------- + test/tasks: Removed pythontask.py and runpythontask. + src: Removed main.py. + src/main.pl: Perl she-bang set to '/usr/bin/env perl'. Added use warnings. Version 2.1 - 2020-07-06 (EO) ----------- + main.pl: Added -p/--param option. Close SPR 7394 + test/tasks/runpythontask: Fixed test of python task. Required saspython 2.1. + test/tasks/pythontask.py: Fixed class python_test. Version 2.0 - 2019-12-03 (JVP) ------------ + DEPEND: Update dependency with saspython package version Version 1.99 - 2019-12-03 (JVP) ------------ + src/main.py: All input parameters interface migrated to saspython/src/param.py module + test/tasks/pythontask.py: Input parameters test Version 1.98 - 2019-10-16 (JVP) ------------ + src/main.py: Support to SAS task parameters from *.par configuration file. Python class: OptionValues(). + test/tasks/pythontask.py: No actions. Only input parameters test. + error.py and param.py Python modules created in a new SAS package: saspython. Error messages and parameter handling functions similar to already existing C++ tasks. Version 1.97 - 2018-03-13 (EO) ------------ + src/main.py: Created new main.py for SAS Python based tasks. Support to common SAS task options (-h, -d, -m, -v, -V, etc) is included through python 'getopt'. Support to standard SAS tasks parameters 'param=value' is also included via the same mechanism. + test/tasks: Added pythontask and runpythontask + test/tasks/config: Added pythontask.info, pythontask.lyt and pythontask.par, with proper data to test different options. + To be implemented: saserror and sasparam python modules to support similar error messages and parameter handling functions similar to already existing support for Perl, C++ and Fortran tasks.

This dependency appeared when building a reduced set of packages where sasperl package is not included. Version 1.93 - 2015-12-04 (EO) ------------ + src/main.pl: The sha-bang for perl (/usr/local/bin/perl) is now the variable -sasperl-, which, like other variables in this file which are eclosed by "-", it is replaced at build time by the proper value. -sasperl- is replaced by the PERL determined by the SAS configure. PERL can be either equal to a SAS_PERL value defined by the user or determined among several possible perl installations: /usr/bin/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl, /sw/bin/perl and /opt/local/bin/perl, the last two only valid for Darwin. Version 1.92 - 2014-09-30 (EO) ------------ + src/main.pl: Added support for short common options (-h, -m, -d, etc). Special treatment required for -v. Version 1.91 - 2010-03-14 (AI) ------------ + lib/metatask.cc: Replacement of the "sprintf" call by a better treatment of character string memory allocation. Version 1.90 - 2003-07-29 (JBa) ------------ + Fixed test harness, such that they work on Mac OS X too: * -test/tasks/testTaskPrivate.h * +test/tasks/testtasklib.h * +test/tasks/testtasklib.cc Version 1.89 - 2003-07-03 (GV) ------------ + QtRegister.cc: Fix double definition of isEnabled, which does compile on Mac! Version 1.88 - 2003-07-01 (JBa) ------------ + (lib/DialogDll.cc) uses dylib extension for MacOsX + (lib/QtRegister.*) GUI enabling for MacOsX incorporated Version 1.87 - 2003-06-26 (EO) ----------- + (test/tasks/runperltask) Added grep for correct output catching. Version 1.86 - 2003-06-13 (GV) ------------ + (Dll.cc) On Mac OS X dlsym and company are available through a wrapper around the native interface. This wrapper is provided by the finch project. The problem is that it is not always guaranteed that the dlsym puts an underscore in front of the symbol names. This can be configure at build time (of the wrapper in question). To make life easier, and avoid surprises in case the SAS is built on a system with the _ and run on a system without it (or vice versa), here we try to load a symbol twice, once without the underscore, and once with it. Only if both attempts fail is an error issued. Version 1.85 - 2003-03-17 (GV) ------------ + (lib/HelpViewer.cc) uses env{SAS_BROWSER} if available. Version 1.84 - 2003-02-11 (GV) ------------ + (main.pl) the --verbosity setting was not being propagated correctly. + (test/task/runperltask) modify to be sensitive to the verbosity setting. Version 1.83 - 2003-02-07 (GV) ------------ + (main.pl) load SAS::param, remove debug print. Version 1.82 - 2003-02-03 (GV) ------------ + (Makefile) remove src from SUBDIRS, or make depend will fail. src in task main is not a src dir like all the others, but it is used to store templates. Version 1.81 - 2003-01-31 (GV) ------------ + Add main.pl to implement perl tasks. These are no longer implemented via taskmain+perl interpreter, but as a plain perl script. Version 1.80 - 2003-01-29 (UL) ------------ + main.cc change enforced by moving CCF access methods from CAL to caloalutils: restart atom server if CCF constituents are inserted from command line; now DEPENDs on caloalutils Version 1.79 - 2003-01-28 (JBa) ------------ + help is now dumped on stdout Version 1.78 - 2003-01-21 (JBa) ------------ (lib/QtRegister.cc) + fixed SOC-SPR-2398 Version 1.77 - 2002-12-09 (JBa) ------------ (lib/QtRegister.h, lib/QtRegister.cc) + fixed SOC-SPR-2383 + moved implementation of QtRegister in own translation unit Version 1.76 - 2002-11-21 (JBa) ------------ + fixed SOC-SPR-2371 Version 1.75 - 2002-11-19 (JBa) ------------ + gParameters was not converted back properly in meta-tasks.

Also, it makes the test harnesses require an active X server. Version 1.72 - 2002-07-02 (JBa) ------------ + fixed (src/perltask.cc) to eat "const char*" via string.c_str() + moved dummy tasks to area for development binaries Version 1.71 - 2002-06-27 (JBa) ------------ + uses sstream Version 1.70 - 2002-06-17 (JBa) ------------ STATIC build: + test will statically link + note: test will not succeed, as shared libraries are needed (at least for perl tasks). Version 1.69 - 2002-05-21 (JBa) ------------ + depends on layout to ensure proper build order Version 1.68 - 2002-05-07 (GV) ------------ + Update par files for param-2.0. Version 1.67.2 - 2002-02-01 (JBa) ------------ + (test/tasks/config/perltask.par) fixed bug in syntax Version 1.67.1 - 2002-01-28 (JBa) ------------ + Upgraded verbosity of Executing information to lowest level (i.e. the user will see TASK:- Executing (HOW): TASK [paremeters]) Version 1.67 - 2001-12-20 (GV) ------------ + DEPEND updated. Version 1.66 - 2001-11-19 (JBa) -------------- + (lib/Task.cc) At call/invocation of child, be verbose on all errHandler flags needed by children too. Version 1.65.4 - 2001-06-14 (JBa) -------------- + Do not check for mandatory parameters, if using the dialog! Version 1.65.3 - 2001-06-06 (JBa) -------------- + Fixed occurence of META::TASK::TASK (task name appearing twice) in messages/warnings and the lot, when TASK was called by invokation instead of routine. Version 1.65.2 - 2001-06-01 (UL) -------------- + better explanation of relationship between --odf/SAS_ODF and --ccf/SAS_CCF in doc Version 1.65.1 - 2000-05-14 (JBa) ------------ + (lib/Task.cc) * catch exceptions (only if error handler uses exceptions), and do appropriate cleanup + (test/tasks/cctaskerror, test/meta/ccmetaerror) * added tests for the above Version 1.65 - 2000-03-29 (JBa) ------------ + (lib/metatask.cc, lib/metatask_mod.f90, lib/taskinfo_.f90) * expanded the f90 interface to query a TaskInfo object + (test/tasks/f90task_mod.f90,test/meta/f90meta_mod.f90) * usage examples of the above Version 1.64 - 2000-03-28 (JBa) ------------ + * replaced old-style headers Version 1.63.2 - 2000-11-28 (JBa) -------------- + (doc/taskmain_description.tex, src/main.cc) * fixed SPRs 1274, 1653, 1658, 1865 * added global parameters to index of parameters * updated documentation * improved HTML links. Version 1.63.1 - 2000-11-15 (UL) -------------- + fixed SPR-1846: if cal used, SAS_CCF alwasy required [tweak in main.cc such that a CIF is only needed if a CAL-related command line option has been specified] Version 1.63 - 2000-10-27 (JBa) ------------ + (src/task_c.cc) Allow f90-tasks to be trapped by exceptions Version 1.62 - 2000-10-05 (UL) ------------ + added '--ccfpath|-a' switch to command line (needs cal-3.85) + CCF access log is now printed at the end of main() on Msg::Verbose level + updated documentation Version 1.61 - 2000-09-28 (JBa) ------------ + updated VERSION as patches are not allowed in this stage; ref mail: Subject: [sas-devel] new uploads required Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 12:38:40 +0200 (MET DST) + added dummy layout files for test tasks Version 1.60.1 - 2000-09-28 (JBa) ------------ + (test/tasks/perltask.pl) using SAS::param again Version 1.60 - 2000-08-17 (GV) ------------ + the runperltask test harness was rendered harmless. It is no fix, as it does not work. To be done when I'm back :-) Version 1.59 - 2000-08-11 (GV) ------------ + (DEPEND) had not added layout ... Version 1.58 - 2000-08-10 (GV) ------------ + (DEPEND) add layout. This is a trick, so that all packages that contain a task can have their layout file checked with the parselayout command. + (test/*/config/*info) added task info files + (cctask.par f90task.par) had the wrong number of fields. Version 1.57.7 - 2000-06-22 (JBa) ------------ + (lib/Task.cc) bug-fixed the private method paramToTask(). Implementa- -tion of closeParameters() in param-1.54.1 triggerd a bad pointer.
