== 0.7.2 - 7-Sep-2011
|
|
* Now works with mingw compiler by skipping __try and __finally if using
|
|
mingw, or using them with mingw if the seh.h header is found.
|
|
* The binary gem now contains binaries for both Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 using
|
|
a simple wrapper.
|
|
* Updated some Rake tasks.
|
|
|
|
== 0.7.1 - 9-Feb-2010
|
|
* Compatibility fixes for 1.9.x.
|
|
* Fixed a bug where the controls_accepted struct member was always nil. This
|
|
has been fixed and now always returns an array.
|
|
* Added 'pre-shutdown' as possible values for the list of controls accepted.
|
|
* Changed test-unit from a runtime dependency to a development dependency.
|
|
* Some tests were refactored to be more reliable.
|
|
* Refactored the Rakefile and gemspec.
|
|
|
|
== 0.7.0 - 30-Jun-2009
|
|
* INTERFACE CHANGE: The Service.new and Service.configure methods now accept
|
|
a single hash argument only. The :service_name key is mandatory, while the
|
|
:host key is optional.
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the Service.services method where a segfault would occur if
|
|
the binary_path_name was greater than 260 characters. The buffer size has
|
|
been increased to 1024 characters. Thanks go to Dan Daniels for the spot.
|
|
* Altered the Daemon class so that the Ruby interpreter was not invoked within
|
|
the Service_Main function. The functions that close stdin, stdout and stderr
|
|
are now called within the mainloop method. Thanks go to Tim Hanson for the
|
|
spot and the patch.
|
|
* Eliminated a minor build warning in daemon.c
|
|
* License changed to Artistic 2.0, with corresponding gemspec update.
|
|
* Added an uninstall rake task.
|
|
* Updated the service_stop method in the demo_daemon.rb file, and added some
|
|
additional comments.
|
|
* The test files were renamed.
|
|
* Several tests were updated and refactored to use Test::Unit 2.x. That
|
|
library is now a dependency.
|
|
* The 'uninstall' Rakefile task is now more verbose.
|
|
|
|
== 0.6.1 - 1-Jan-2008
|
|
* The Service.services method now handles the scenario where a particular
|
|
service may still exist, but its underlying registry entry has been deleted.
|
|
In this case, most ServiceInfo struct members are set to nil and a warning
|
|
is issued.
|
|
* RDoc updates.
|
|
|
|
== 0.6.0 - 25-Nov-2007
|
|
* The Service control class is now pure Ruby. The Daemon class is still C,
|
|
however. That may change in the future. This means the windows-pr
|
|
library is now a prerequisite.
|
|
* The Service.new method has been altered in a way that is not backwards
|
|
compatible. It is now the same as Service.create.
|
|
* The Service.start method now properly handles arguments to the
|
|
Daemon#service_main method.
|
|
* The Daemon source code is now separate from the Service control class
|
|
source code. That means you must require them separately, as needed.
|
|
* The Daemon class should be much more responsive to service events now,
|
|
especially service_stop. Many thanks go to Kevin Burge for the patch.
|
|
* Added the Daemon.mainloop method as a shortcut for Daemon.new.mainloop.
|
|
* The Daemon class now redirects STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR to the NUL device
|
|
if they're still associated with a terminal when the service starts. This
|
|
should help prevent Errno::EBADF errors.
|
|
* The Service.services class method now supports the group parameter for
|
|
versions of Ruby built with older compilers, i.e. it will now work with
|
|
the one-click Ruby installer.
|
|
* The Service.getdisplayname method was changed to Service.get_display_name.
|
|
An alias has been provided for backwards compatibility.
|
|
* The Service.getservicename method was changed to Service.get_service_name.
|
|
An alias has been provided for backwards compatibility.
|
|
* Added the Service.config_info method.
|
|
* The Service.create and Service.configure methods now allow you to set
|
|
failure actions, failure commands, and reset/retry periods.
|
|
* Improved test suite.
|
|
* Changed 'tdaemon.rb', 'tdaemon_ctl.rb' and 'service_test.rb' to
|
|
'demo_daemon.rb', 'demo_daemon_ctl.rb' and 'demo_services.rb', respectively.
|
|
* Some refactoring and updates to the demo daemon and demo daemon controller
|
|
examples.
|
|
* The Win32Service struct is now ServiceInfo.
|
|
* ServiceError is now Service::Error.
|
|
* DaemonError is now Daemon::Error.
|
|
* Some documentation improvements, corrections and updates.
|
|
|
|
== 0.5.2 - 25-Nov-2006
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the Daemon class where the service event handling methods
|
|
(most notably service_stop) did not work properly due to thread blocking
|
|
issues. Many thanks go to Patrick Hurley for the patch.
|
|
* Added the Daemon#running? method as helper method for your service_main
|
|
method.
|
|
* The 'interactive?' struct member is now just 'interactive'. This was
|
|
supposed to have been in the last release but was somehow missed. Sorry.
|
|
* Scrapped the old daemon_test.rb file and split it into two new files -
|
|
tdaemon.rb and tdaemon_ctl.rb. In the process a few bugs were fixed.
|
|
* Added a gemspec.
|
|
* Documentation and test suite updates.
|
|
|
|
== 0.5.1 - 18-Jun-2006
|
|
* Added the Service.open method.
|
|
* The Service.new method now accepts a block, and automatically closes itself
|
|
at the end of the block.
|
|
* Fixed in a bug in the Service.create method where setting dependencies
|
|
was not working properly. Thanks go to Scott Harper for the spot.
|
|
* The 'interactive?' struct member is now just 'interactive' since Ruby no
|
|
longer supports question marks in struct member names. UGH.
|
|
* The block for Service#configure_service is no longer optional.
|
|
* Replaced ClipSrv with W32Time for most of the test methods in tc_service.rb
|
|
because it had a dependency that is disabled on most systems.
|
|
* Added a tweak to the extconf.rb file to help with the test suite.
|
|
* Some documentation updates and corrections.
|
|
|
|
== 0.5.0 - 26-Nov-2005
|
|
* Added a service_init hook, and (internally) altered the way the service
|
|
starts. This was done to deal with services that need to perform any
|
|
initialization in the Daemon itself before the service starts. Previously
|
|
this would result in the service timing out during startup.
|
|
|
|
Thanks go to Jamey Cribbs for spotting the problem.
|
|
|
|
* Modified the Daemon example, adding a service_init hook that does about 10
|
|
seconds worth of initialization before finally starting. See the comments
|
|
in examples\daemon_test.rb for more information.
|
|
* Minor test and README changes.
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.6 - 24-May-2005
|
|
* Fixed an initialization bug that could cause Daemons to fail unless the
|
|
win32-service package was the last package require'd.
|
|
* Altered the Service.start method. It now takes any number of arguments
|
|
(after the service and host name). These arguments are passed to the
|
|
service's Service_Main() function.
|
|
* The Service.services method now returns an Array of ServiceStruct's in
|
|
non-block form.
|
|
* The Service.start, Service.pause, Service.resume, Service.stop and
|
|
Service.delete methods now return the class (self), not 'true'.
|
|
* Added the ability to add or configure the service description in
|
|
Service#create_service or Service#configure, respectively.
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the Service.start method where false positives could result.
|
|
* Updated the ServiceStatus struct to include pid and service_flags on Win2k
|
|
or later.
|
|
* Unicode is now the default setting as far as internal string handling. It
|
|
will still work fine with 'regular' text.
|
|
* Added safe string handling for string input values.
|
|
* Added rdoc comments into the C source.
|
|
* Made the service.txt and daemon.txt files rdoc friendly.
|
|
* Removed the service.rd and daemon.rd files. If you want html documentation,
|
|
run rdoc over the service.txt and daemon.txt files.
|
|
* The dreaded "code cleanup".
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.5 - 28-Feb-2005
|
|
* Fixed an accessor bug in Service#create. Thanks go to Nathaniel Talbott
|
|
for the spot.
|
|
* Eliminated a warning that appeared starting in Ruby 1.8.2 regarding Struct
|
|
redefinitions.
|
|
* Moved 'examples' directory to toplevel directory.
|
|
* Deleted the 'test2.rb' example. This was supplanted by the 'daemon_test.rb'
|
|
script.
|
|
* Renamed the 'test.rb' file to 'services_test.rb'.
|
|
* Made this document rdoc friendly.
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.4 - 27-Aug-2004
|
|
* Modified the Service class to use the newer allocation framework. The
|
|
Daemon class already used this, hence no major version bump.
|
|
* Fixed in a bug in the create_service() method with regards to the
|
|
'dependencies' option and null arguments (you no longer need to specify
|
|
an empty array).
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.3 - 14-Aug-2004
|
|
* Fixed the Daemon class by adding back the constants it needed in order to
|
|
run. I accidentally broke this when I changed the Daemon class from being
|
|
a subclass of Service to being its own class.
|
|
* Added a separate test suite for the Daemon class, tc_daemon.rb, to help
|
|
me from making that mistake ever again. :)
|
|
* Updated the daemon_test.rb script a bit to report error messages should
|
|
any occur.
|
|
* Minor doc updates
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.2 - 10-Jul-2004
|
|
* The Daemon class is no longer a subclass of Service.
|
|
* Added the 'pid' and 'service_flags' struct members to the Win32Service
|
|
struct. These members are only available to folks using Windows 2000 or
|
|
later and who compile with VC++ 7.0 or later (including the .NET SDK).
|
|
* The Service.services method now accepts a group name as an optional third
|
|
argument. Again, you must be using Windows 2000 or later and compile with
|
|
VC++ 7.0 or later (including the .NET SDK).
|
|
* The deprecated STR2CSTR() functions were replaced with StringValuePtr().
|
|
This also means that as of this version, win32-service requires Ruby
|
|
1.8.0 or greater.
|
|
* Moved the sample programs to doc/examples
|
|
* Removed the .html files under /doc. You can generate that on your own if
|
|
you like.
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.1 - 14-Mar-2004
|
|
* Added the exists? class method and corresponding test suite additions.
|
|
* Pushed the ServiceError and DaemonError classes under the Win32 module.
|
|
* Normalized tc_service.rb so that it can be run outside of the test directory
|
|
more easily.
|
|
|
|
== 0.4.0 - 9-Feb-2004
|
|
* Changed "worker" method to "service_main" method.
|
|
* Added event hooks for stop, pause, resume, etc. See the documentation for
|
|
further details. (Thanks Park Heesob)
|
|
* Some of the Daemon functions were raising ServiceError. They have been
|
|
changed to DaemonError.
|
|
* Updated the daemon_test.rb file to use the new event hooks.
|
|
* Documentation additions and updates.
|
|
|
|
== 0.3.0 - 31-Jan-2004
|
|
* Added a Daemon subclass. This allows you to run Ruby programs as a service.
|
|
Please see the documentation for more details. (Thanks Park Heesob). This
|
|
should be considered an ALPHA release.
|
|
* The Win32ServiceError class has been renamed to just ServiceError. I felt
|
|
the "Win32" was redundant, given that it's already under the Win32 module.
|
|
* In some cases a bogus error description was being returned because the
|
|
GetLastError() function was being called too late. This has been fixed.
|
|
(Thanks Park Heesob).
|
|
* The explicit garbage collection has been removed because what I thought was
|
|
a memory leak was not, in fact, a memory leak. In addition, it was hurting
|
|
performance badly.
|
|
* The "\r\n" is now automatically stripped from error messages. This was
|
|
causing slightly garbled error messages. (Thanks Park Heesob).
|
|
* Added explicit closing of the Service Control Manager handle in the
|
|
services() function for those rare cases where it may fail while reading
|
|
service information.
|
|
* Made some of the error strings a bit more descriptive.
|
|
* Test suite and documentation additions, including a sample daemon program
|
|
in the test directory called "daemon_test.rb".
|
|
|
|
== 0.2.2 - 15-Jan-2004
|
|
* Fixed a mistake in the service_init declaration within Init_service().
|
|
* Fixed bug in the service_init function with regards to desired access.
|
|
* Modified service_free() function to explicitly set the hSCManager handle
|
|
to NULL and modified the service_close() method to test hSCManager handle
|
|
for NULL value. This should eliminate accidentally trying to close an
|
|
already closed handle, which may have happened as the result of a free()
|
|
call. (Thanks Park Heesob).
|
|
* Added explicit garbage collection in Service.services() method.
|
|
* More explicit about closing open HANDLE's when error conditions arise.
|
|
|
|
== 0.2.1 - 2-Nov-2003
|
|
* Made the exported less redundant and less verbose, e.g.
|
|
Service::SERVICE_DISABLED is now just Service::DISABLED. The same is true
|
|
for the service control constants, i.e. the 'SC_' has been removed.
|
|
* Corresponding test suite changes.
|
|
|
|
== 0.2.0 - 16-Oct-2003
|
|
* The constructor has been changed. It now only takes a machine name and a
|
|
desired access for arguments. The keyword arguments are now part of the
|
|
create_service method() and only in block form. See the documentation for
|
|
more details.
|
|
* Added a configure_service() and close() instance methods.
|
|
* Added several new constants to allow finer control over created and
|
|
configured services.
|
|
* Added Win32ServiceError as an exception. All failures now raise this
|
|
error instead of a vanilla StandardError.
|
|
* Moved some common code into the service.h file.
|
|
|
|
== 0.1.0 - 10-Oct-2003
|
|
- Initial release
|
