Current Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ww05 - migrate to inmem-db
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

. Switch to inmem db with fast sync to on disk db's [DONE]
. Server polls tasks table for next action
.. Task table used for tracking runner process [DONE]
.. Task table used for jobs to run
.. Task table used for queueing runner actions (remove runs, cleanRunExecute, etc)


// ww32
// ~~~~
// 
// . Rerun step and or subsequent steps from gui
// . Refresh test area files from gui
// . Clean and re-run button
// . Clean up STATE and STATUS handling.
// .. Dashboard and Test control panel are reverse order - choose and fix
// .. Move seldom used states and status to drop down selector
// . Access test control panel when clicking on Run Summary tests
// . Feature: -generate-index-tree
// . Change specifing of state and status to use STATE1/STATUS1,STATE2/STATUS2
// 
// ww33
// ~~~~
// 
// . http api available for use with Perl, Ruby etc. scripts
// . megatest.config setup entries for:
// .. run launching (e.g. /bin/sh %CMD% > /dev/null)
// .. browser "konqueror %FNAME%
// 
// ww34
// ~~~~
// 
// . Mark dependent tests for clean/rerun -rerun-downstream
// . On run start check for defunct tests in RUNNING, LAUNCHED or REMOTEHOSTSTART and correct or notify
// . Fix: refresh of gui sometimes fails on last item (race condition?)
// 
// ww35
// ~~~~
// 
// . refdb: Add export of csv, json and sexp
// . Convert to using call-with-environment-variables where possible. Should allow handling of parallel runs in same process.
// . Re-work text interface wizards. Several bugs on record. Possibly convert to gui based.
// . Add to testconfig requirements section; launchlimiter scriptname, calls scriptname to check if ok to launch test
// . Refactor Run Summary view, currently very clumsy
// . Add option to show steps in Run Summary view
// 
// ww36
// ~~~~
// 
// . Refactor guis for resizeablity
// . Add filters to Run Summary view and Run Control view
// . Add to megatest.config or testconfig; rerunok STATE/STATUS,STATE/STATUS...
// . Launch gates for diskspace; /path/one>1G,/path/two>200M,/tmp>5G,#{scheme *toppath*}>1G
// 
// Bin List
// ~~~~~~~~
// 
// .	Quality improvements
// ..	Server stutters occasionally
// ..	Large number of items or tests still has some issues.
// ..	Code refactoring
// ..	Replace remote process with true API using json (supports Web app also)
// .	Streamline the gui
// ..	Everything resizable
// ..	Less clutter
// ..	Tool tips
// ..	Filters on Run Summary, Summary and Run Control panel
// ..	Built in log viewer (partially implemented)
// ..	Refactor the test control panel
// .	Help and documentation
// ..	Complete the user manual (I’ve been working on this lately).
// ..	Online help in the gui
// .	Streamlined install
// ..	Deployed version (download a location independent ready to run binary bundle)
// ..	Install Makefile (in progress, needed for Mike to install on VMs)
// ..	Added option to compile IUP (needed for VMs)
// .	Server side run launching
// .	Support for re-running, cleaning etc. of individual steps (ezsteps makes this very easy to implement).
// .	Launch process needs built in daemonizing (easy to do, just need to test it thoroughly).
// .	Wizards for creating tests, regression areas (current ones are text only and limited).
// .	Fully functional built in web service (currently you can browse runs but it is very simplistic).
// .	Wildcards in runconfigs: e.g. [p1271/9/%/%]
// .	Gui panels for editing megatest.config and runconfigs.config
// .	Fully isolated tests (no use of NFS to see regression area files)
// .	Windows version
