Future
=================
* Refer to Doxy-docs for basic todo-list.
* Refer to Doxy-docs for basic bugs-list.

=================
August 7-8, 2008
=================
* Finished documentation.
* Separated C++ code from main kernel code.
* Provided test cases.
 - WARNING: Test cases will cause OOPS. Module imperfect.
* Provided Makefiles and Doxyfiles.
* Restructured webpage documents.

=================
August 5-6, 2008
=================
* Started mass documentation. Time to wrap up my efforts!
* Added doxygen-style code to most source files.
* Todo:
  - Finish module update to match 2.6.25.6
  - Finish inserting \todo comments in code.

=================
August 2-3, 2008
=================
* Reading up signal architecture.
* Reading up inode architecture.
* Reading up dentry_open() details.
* Standardizing module init/cleanup/registration.
* Less than 12 compiler errors remain.
* Removed MOD_x_USE macro usage. 

=================
July 26-29, 2008
=================
* Most compiler errors fixed.
 - 24 remain, caused by 4 specific kernel level changes.
* Kernel changes noted, not yet documented.
* Studying signal and task layer. (cause 1)
* Studying inode structure changes. (cause 2)
* Studying MOD_x_USE_COUNT macros. (cause 3)
* Reviewing module registration process. (cause 4)

=================
July 5, 2008
=================
* Started written journal: notes and progress.
* Refreshed memory: reread original paper.
* Began analyzing source based on 2.4.4 kernel, starting from ckpt.c.
* Revised problem statement.

=================
June 21 - July 4, 2008
=================
* A period of reflection and musing.

==================
June 20, 2008
==================
 * Started correcting compilation errors.
 * Next goal: get it to compile.
 * Thereafter, test it and correctly port it.
 * Decided on a deadline: July 11, 2008.

==================
June 19, 2008
==================
 * Took a break.

==================
June 18, 2008
==================
 * Noticed an interesting hack CRAK uses to access non-exported
    kernel functions.
  - Took note of the use of these functions and their location in
     the source.
 * Note: IOCTL impl. needs an update.

==================
June 17, 2008
==================
 * Attempted to compile kernel 2.4.4: failed
 * Looked up ossible reasons kernel 2.4.4 may not compile.
 * Conclusion: chose not to pursue older kernel.

==================
June 16, 2008
==================
 * Produced documents detailing extent of compilation errors
    caused by attempting to build CRAK-2.4.4 under linux K-2.6.25.4.
 * Began looking into correcting these errors and interface changes
    since kernel 2.4.4.
 * Began taking notes on CRAK design and impl. 

==================
June 13, 2008
==================
 * Started this website.
 * Continued reading 2.4.4 source. 
 To-do:
  o Attempt to build current project as is.
  o Create an SVN repository.
  o Correct compilation errors.
  o Update: Take note of deprecated portions.
  o Simplify: Take note of portions irrelevant to project goals.
  o Extend: Consider additions to CRAK.
 == Added as of 7:09 PM ==
 * Gathered together various documents regarding ckpting.
 * Discovered POSIX ckpt standard (1003.1m) was never
    completed. Found an alternate standard to follow.
 * Produced document detailing LOC/src file in CRAK-2.4.4
 * Produced document detailing changes measured in LOC comparing
    linux kernel 2.4.4 to 2.6.25.4.
 To-do:
  o As above.
  o Re-read CRAK paper, take notes.
  o Read new papers, consider added features. 
 == As of midnight (technically June 14) ==
 * Compiled kernel 2.6.25.6
 * Project will now adhere to most recent kernel.
 * Noticed Makefile needs to be re-done. Old build process
    incompatible.
 * Tried compiling kernel 2.4.4.
 * Updated references.

==================
June 12, 2008
==================
 * Found source for CRAK. Versions 2.2.19 and 2.4.4 (beta). Downloaded both.
 * Glanced over 2.4.4 source.

==================
June 11, 2008
==================
 * Found paper on CRAK. Began studying it.
