Changes in Find-a-Drug software 1.30a
This document was last updated on 27 April 2005 12:00 (GMT).
Loader
A local copy is now used on networked nodes under Windows which starts the central copy once this node is accessible (or times out after 15 minutes).
Setup
The software can now run as a service. New installations of the software are configured as a service (XP,200x) or a scheduled task (ME,98) by default.
Setup.exe
A scheduling option allows the software to run only at specified times during weekdays or weekends. This could be used to avoid running the software during working hours.
It is now possible to use proxy settings under Windows separately from Internet Explorer.
The configuration data stored in isetup.dat has been revised and is not backwards compatible.
We believe we have fixed a problem which could lead to the configuration data being corrupted.
When saving the configuration, the software now retries with alternative servers listed in cgi.lis before reporting a failure.
The status bar now reports the same information as the tool tip.
THINK client
In mixed Linux/Windows installations, THINK no longer writes directly to the queue. Instead data is written to a temporary file which server then reads and writes to the queue. This should avoid some obscure queue errors.
Under certain circumstances such as a system failure, the results file and the progress file could be out of synchronisation. When THINK restarts it now checks that the files are compatible and if not restarts from after the last recorded hit. This should reduce or eliminate jobs being rejected because the results file is missing data.
Some internal and algorithmic changes have also been made.
Job queue server
The output from "Client Info" has been extended to include the CPU rating and CPU time (this requires KDFOLD=YES to be present in think.env). This uses data from files named computer.tip which replace pcname.nnn previously written.
Under Linux, "file not found" messages no longer occur during initial startup of the software.
Automatic Upgrade
This upgrade should proceed automatically and take about 2 minutes.
Outstanding problems
fadsetup.scr can crash THINK
Under Windows XP when FaDsetup is configured as the screensaver, it often causes THINK to crash when it starts.
Linux messages
Under Linux there are no messages written to the screen during an upgrade (although there are to server.log and loader.log). This can cause confusion.

Find-a-Drug 1.30a更新列表
最后更新于2005年4月27日12:00 (GMT)
Loader
网络节点使用本地loader文件，当客户机连接主机时会自动生成(最长15分钟后)。
软件可以设为系统服务进程。软件新的安装模式，可把软件自动设为系统服务进程(XP,200X)或计划任务(ME,98)。
Setup
计划选项允许软件在平常或周末的特定时间运行。这样可以避免在工作时间运行软件。
现在不仅可以使用IE代理设置，还可以设置特定代理。
对isetup.dat存储的设置信息格式进行修改，但不可向下兼容。
修正了一个可能导致设置信息出错的漏洞。
当保存设置时，软件在报错前，会轮流尝试连接cgi.lis中的所有服务器。
统计栏信息和工具提示信息同步。
THINK客户端
在混有Linux/Windows的局域网里，THINK不再直接写入queue。数据将先写入本地临时文件，由服务器来读取并写入queue。这样可以解决偶尔出现的queue错误。
在某些情况下(如：系统出错)，结果文件和进度文件可能会不同步。现在当THINK启动时会检查文件是否兼容，如果不兼容，则会从上次HIT开始重算。这样可以减少甚至杜绝，任务因为数据缺失而被拒绝接受的情况。
对程序内部结构和算法做了少许调整。
Job queue server
扩充了"Client Info"的输出信息，包括CPU速率和CPU time(需要将think.env里出现KDFOLD=YES)。它将使用名为computer.tip的文件而不是先前的pcname.nnn文件保存。
Linux下，在启动软件时不会再出现"file not found"消息。
自动更新
更新大约需要2分钟左右。
已知漏洞
fadsetup.scr可以导致THINK崩溃
在Windows XP下，当把FaDsetup设置为屏暴时，它启动时经常会导致THINK崩溃。
Linux消息
在Linux下当升级时屏幕无消息显示(虽然他们已写入了server.log和loader.log)。这可能会导致出错。

注：因为是测试版，所以官方没有提供下载，只提供升级。
由于本版本，主要解决的是局域网问题，而且文件改动较大，有些文件不能向下兼容。
所以不推荐普通用户更新，推荐用局域网进行网络阵列计算的用户更新，帮助官方进行测试。
更新方法：在FAD setup……projects……勾选“beta test”。FAD会自动升级，升级时间一般不会超过5分钟。 |
