State is also set to 'stopped' when program is killed.
customPrep script does not create any datapoints anymore. The DPs are now
part of the install procedure of a PVSS-LOFAR database.

ObservationController now also creates the top DP of the observation:
LOFAR_ObsSW_Observation%d.
Fixed some bugs in interpreting the PVSS values.

Added checks for HAVE_BOOST in several files, so that the Boost package can be
optinal again.

Added some extra fields.

Moved all AMCClient and AMCServer stuff up one directory.

Added definition of CalController.
Moved CalController from PermSw to ObsSW.
Creating only two datapointtype files i.s.o four. A datapointtype file now
contains all types for the mainCU or the stationCU.

bin_SCRIPTS should be distributed as well.

Added --with-aps=$(prefix) to DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS

Reformatting while debugging.

Removed several lines from the prepare script because it was old stuff.

Fixed assertion.

Removed cfgpa-prep because it interferred with the NAvigator software.

Check in for new cvs server notebook

Removed debug info

Added BGLConnection, which:
1) sends/receives 16-byte-aligned data;
2) sends/receives messages with sizes that are a multiple of 16;
3) makes sure that the sent and received message sizes internally match.
Use of this class makes more efficient communication on the Blue Gene/L
possible.

Allocate extra storage for large enough buffer for special send/receive.

Handle confopt in a better way, especially regarding quotes.

Extended setSchedule function with code that updates the 'fields'
Observation.startTime and Observation.stopTime also.

Modified ObservationControl to meet the new functionality in Parent- and
ChildControl that allow non-regular state changes by merging in the missing
states.

Added support for QUIT command.

Implemented flowcontrol for statechanges. When a non-regular state change is
requested a neat route from the current state to the requested state is
calculated and all intermediate state are executed.

Removed (hanging) ASyncTest from weekly build

First untested implementation of interface for TBB settings and bandsel registers. Needs testing.

removed library that is no longer available

Fixed make target when using WITH_CLEAN=2 (distclean).

Implement interface GETTDSTATUS and UPDTDSTATUS.
Implement new --tdstatus argument for rspctl to read TD status on all RSP board or a selection of RSP boards.

GETTDSTATUS and UPDTDSTATUS need an rspmask.

Overload two unused bits for administration purposes TDBoardStatus.

Relevant comment in code:
//
// The unkown and invalid bits have no meaning in the TD status byte.
// They are overloaded here to indicate whether the value stored has
// been read from hardware and whether the RSP board has control over
// the TD board:
//
// unknown: (0 = value has been read from hardware, 1 = value has not been read)
// invalid: (0 = RSP board is controlling a TD board, 1 = RSP board is not controlling a TD board)
//

Set correct initial register state.

- fixed (push should be pushd)

Further development of TBBDriver and tbbctl

Reduce log output.

First part of TDStatus reading implementation.

Use UTC instead of localtime to generate timestamp in filesnames of the xcorr matrices.

Taking the conjugate of the beamformer weight before sending it to the hardware
was missing. This is needed because:

  //
  // conjugate weights to get the correct matrix

  // weight a_r + i . a_i
  //
  // (a_r + i . a_i) . (x_r + i . x_i) = ( a_r . x_r - a_i . x_i ) + i ( a_i . x_r + a_r . x_i )
  //
  // This is equal to:
  //
  // ( x_out_r )   ( a_r  -a_i )   ( x_in_r )
  // (         ) = (           ) * (        )
  // ( x_out_i )   ( a_i   a_r )   ( x_in_i )
  //
  // and the same for y
  //
  // To send to correct weights to the beamformer we must therefore
  // take the conjugate of the weight (a_r, a_i) to produce (a_r, -a_i)
  // for the x_our_r component and take the conjugate AND multiply by i
  // the weight (a_r, a_i) to produce (a_i, a_r).
  //

Use epsilon value to make sture all points on the circle are included.

- rub now ignores failure of 'chmod +x ./bootstrap' and tries to bootstrap anyway.
- if execution of ./bootstrap fails, this is reported to the users and rub exits with error code 1.
