Changes since August 25...
Summary of major changes:
* Job Management can now stage files from the BioFS to the remote
supercomputer.
* The TCL API now has Control Panel functionality. This could be used,
for instance, to add chatting capabilities to any program that can
work with TCL.
* The web interface now has clickable module summaries. In the menu
on the left side of each page you can now click on the heading text
for the modules (Documents, Workbench, Notebook) and get summary
text for what each component provides.
More details of the changes:
* Job Management:File staging updates so that files are now transmitted
to and from the BioFS and the computational machines.
* Job Management:Fixed some bugs that were preventing accurate account
monitoring.
* API: Added a proof-of-concept TCL control panel to the distribution.
This code assumes that you have a valid .biocoreSession file
(typically obtained from having an open control panel) with user
authentication information. It then creates a socket connection with
the BioCoRE server and listens for new messages. It also has the
functionality of allowing a user to add chats from TCL.
Discussed at the TCL API page
(http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/biocore/dev/tcl/ ).
* Added in summary pages for the Documents, Workbench, and Notebook
modules that new users can click on to get more information about what
the various components provide.
* BioFS:Fixed a bug that was causing file deletion notices to not get
sent to the control panel.
* BioFS:Had a case where a user aborted a file upload and the file
remained locked. Configured partial file uploads so that they will
release the lock on the file. If anyone notices problems with this
behavior, please let us know.
* BioFS: Tweaked http://.../biocore/biofs so that it doesn't include
links to projects that don't have an index.html file.
* Control Panel:Added text to the About box to tell users if they are
not running the current version of the Control Panel.
* Control Panel:Fixed a bug where system messages weren't getting sent
to private chat windows.
* Control Panel:Fixed a bug in the XML parsing that occurred when the
XML document contained comments.
* Control Panel: Scripting - Menu and menu items can now be removed. For
example usages see the scripts in the BioCoRE Help project.
* Control Panel: Scripting - Added methods to retrieve a particular
project tab based on its name or the project id.
* Control Panel: Minor addition to previous commit that allowed multi
line pasting. It wasn't working for private chats (which you can get
by clicking on someone's name in the user list, or doing /msg userName
message you want to say.
* Fixed a bug in XML parsing that was causing it to incorrectly handle
documents with line breaks in the tag name.
* Scripting: Revised set of who can delete notebook entries to include
author and project administrator.
