CIMPLE 0.99.0 Release Notes (March 30, 2007)
============================================

Below are the major changes for CIMPLE 0.99.0. Note that three minor changes 
must be made to existing providers. First, they must either be linked against
libcimplepegadap (for Pegasus) or libcimplecmpiadap (for CMPI). Second, you
must place the CIMPLE_PEGASUS_PROVIDER_ENTRY_POINT in module.cpp to use the
Pegasus interface. Third, you must remove the inclusion of "CIMPI.h" in the
module.cpp.

1.  Implemented Pegasus adapter, allowing CIMPLE providers to masquerade 
    as Pegasus C++ providers. This eliminates the need for the Pegasus
    provider manager as well as the need to patch Pegasus. The CIMPLE 
    provider manager is now obsolete. 

2.  Load/Unload of providers now works according to the underlying
    scheme (whether Pegasus or CMPI).

3.  There are no longer special naming requirements for provider 
    libraries (previous versions required a "cmpl" prefix).

4.  Regmod now automatically detects the provider interface to use
    while registering the provider. A provider either links to
    libcimplepegadap.so (Pegasus) or libcimplecmpiadap.so. (CMPI).
    Regmod searches for one of these entry points to determine whether
    to register as a Pegasus or CMPI provider.

5.  The provider timer() operation has been disabled for now until
    a workable CMPI threading model can be found.

6.  There is no longer any need for a provider to include any CMPI-
    specific header files.

7.  You must now inject the following macro into the provider's module.cpp 
    file in order to use the Pegasus provider interface.

	CIMPLE_PEGASUS_PROVIDER_ENTRY_POINT;


CIMPLE 0.99.1 Release Notes (March 31, 2007)
============================================

1.  This release fixes a bug with the CMPI support, which caused a hang after a 
    provider was loaded, unloaded, and the loaded again. The crash was caused
    by conflicting use of thread-local storage (CMPI and CIMPLE).

2.  This release added an live indication test.
