settings object and file in the .ini format to store instance uuid
to ensure uuid persistence on windows across upgrades done with
complete deinstall. Fixes#1497
workflow progress flags for an attempted install and first
successful install. Both flags are boolean true/false indicating
that the even occurred. We do not track and do not report any
information about the firewall, platform, rules etc. These flags
will be used to determine how many users abandon the program
before even trying to run install for real because it is too
complicated or the UI is not good enough. Fixes#1495
* UserWorkflow.cpp (UserWorkflow::flagsToQueryString): added user
workflow flag indicating that ssh/scp have been configured in the
Prefereces dialog. The flag is boolean and registers only the fact
that something was entered in ssh and scp fields. Actual path and
programs used are not registered and reported. Fixes#1496
refs #1483 If program detects change in CustomService object and
the change just adds code string for a platform that was not
in the object in the users data file, the change is accepted without
showing the dialog.
* ../src/res/objects_init.xml.in: fixed#1483 "missing code in the
custom service object ESTABLISHED for ProCurve"
one-time announcements that can be pulled from the web site
when version check server says there is one. Announcement is
shown only once. To do this, I store time stamp when it was shown
in settings using hash of the announcement url.
* Help.cpp (Help::setSource): made class Help capable of
downloading contents via HTTP.
r2896 because of the user complaints. It appears to be more
convenient if Policy, NAT and Routing objects open in the rule set
view on double click but not in the editor. Second double clik
opens these objects in the editor.
* UserWorkflow.cpp (UserWorkflow::report): see #1466 Implemented
instrumentation that should help us improve user experience. Will
track few things that new users do (or dont) and report as a
combination of bit flags at the end of the GUI session. Reporting
things such as if user looked at "Getting Started" tutorial, if
they created their first firewall object, modified any rules,
tried to compile or install. Information passed in the report is
strictly a set of boolean flags, is not identifiable and does not
reveal what firewall platform they are using or anything about
their objects and rules.
