View Ref-File13.10.1  SSP changes                                               TOS

Specification changes as of Nov. 17th, 2000

   . Updated spec version number to V0.9

   . Little tweaks here and there

   . Added constant definitions for the AES messages. SSP reserves 
     messages from 4719 to 4749 (currently using the first 6) for 
     future use. With this, the protocol is practically ready for 
     implementation!

     Update to 1.0 will be done as soon as I start implementing the 
     server (in about a week I hope), and if no more suggestions for 
     changes are made.

Specification changes as of Nov. 9th, 2000

   . Updated spec version number to V0.85

   . Added instructions on how to implement SSP as a SPA and SRA, 
     including some short sample code.

Specification changes as of Nov. 7th, 2000

   . updated spec version number to V0.8

   . Added the first constant definitions including a short 
     explanation of the determintation of services on Server side as 
     reaction to SSP_SRASR and its data identification.

   . Updated the services with necessary value of dataID for using 
     specific services.

Specification changes as of Nov. 6th, 2000

   . Updated spec version number to V0.77

   . Added spec of server registration

   . Updated Status Display Service with possibility to remove the 
     status icon (e.g. when exiting the SRA). Shame, I didn't think of 
     that when I specified it...

   . Added message directions in the message descriptionsServer", to 
     make more clear who sends which message, and where to

Specification changes as of Nov. 4th, 2000

   . Updated spec version to 0.75

   . Added what is SSP? section as an introduction.

   . Changed Timeouts and Errors - the pipeline scheme showed me 
     something I didn't see before (that's pretty sad...): the SRA 
     can't know if services are Immediate or Delayed Response. Hence, 
     timeouts will have to be handeled completely by the server. This 
     shows how good it is to have a thorough plan before implementing 
     something like this...

   . Added SSP message pipeline scheme to make the way it works more 
     transparent ;)

   . Changed Context Popup Service spec to including mouse parameters 
     into the SSP_SRASR and SSP_SSIR messages

   . Added Information Display Service in conjunction with Status 
     Display Service. SPAs providing Status Display should also be 
     able to request Information Display. Updated the Software list 
     concerning this.

Specification changes as of Nov. 3rd, 2000

   . Introduced this website and wrote some new stuff into 'about this 
     spec' on the mainpage

   . Added no-write-rule to general rules concerning shared memory 
     handling

   . Added list of prospective SSP implementing software with possible 
     services for each of the apps

   . SSP_SRASR: changed and updated data type spec for SRA service 
     request

   . Added handling of folder names to the send file, upload file and 
     compress file service specs in Services, SSP_SENDFILE, 
     SSP_UPLOADFILE, and SSP_COMPRESSFILE, see the service 
     implementation notes.

   . Decided to implement SSP into a text editor shared/static library 
     under development by Olaf, added the lib to implementing software 
     list

   . Moved Jo Even, Odd and Ralph to the involved developers list ;)
