+- fix build errors.
+
+* Tue Aug 24 2010 Tony Mack <tmack@cs.princeton.edu> - sfa-0.9-15
+- (Architecture) Credential format changed to match ProtoGENI xml format
+- (Architecture) All interfaces export a new set of methods that are compatible
+ with the ProtoGeni Aggregate spec. These new methods are considered a
+ replacement for the pervious methods exported by the interfaces. All
+ previous methods are still exported and work as normal, but they are
+ considered deprecated and will not be supported in future releases.
+- (Architecture) SFI has been updated to use the new interface methods.
+- (Architecture) Changed keyconvet implementation from c to python.
+- (Architecture) Slice Manager now attempts looks for a delegated credential
+ provided by the client before using its own server credential.
+- (Archiceture) Slice Interface no longers stores cache of resources on disk.
+ This cache now exists only in memory and is cleared when service is restarted
+ or cache lifetime is exceeded.
+- (Performance) SliceManager sends request to Aggregates in parallel instead
+ of sequentially.
+- (Bug fix) SFA tickets now support the new rspec format.
+- (Bug fix) SFI only uses cahced credential if they aren't expired.
+- (Bug fix) Cerdential delegation modified to work with new credential format.
+- (Enhancement) SFI -a --aggregatge option now sends requests directly to the
+ Aggregate instead of relaying through the Slice Manager.
+- (Enhancement) Simplified caching. Accociated a global cache instance with
+ the api handler on every new server request, making it easier to access the
+ cache and use in more general ways.

+- SfaServer now uses a pool of threads to handle requests concurrently
+- sfa.util.rspec no longer used to process/manage rspecs (deprecated). This is now handled by sfa.plc.network and is not backwards compatible
+- PIs can now get a slice credential for any slice at their site without having to be a member of the slice
+- Registry records for federated peers (defined in registries.xml, aggregates.xml) updated when sfa service is started
+- Interfaces will try to fetch and install gids from peers listed in registries.xml/aggregates.xml if gid is not found in /etc/sfa/trusted_roots dir
+- Component manager does not install gid files if slice already has them
+- Server automatically fetches and installs peer certificats (defined in registries/aggregates.xml) when service is restarted.
