1 Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
4 - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
5 address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
6 - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
7 targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
9 - Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
10 restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
11 test one seventh of the targets each night.
12 - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
13 be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
14 rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
15 - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
16 multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
17 Test result is saved in the new element
18 <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
19 - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
20 respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
21 the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
22 for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
23 - The web UI displays this new information in full-record
25 - A target can be disabled for tests ### how?
26 - Improve input validation for new targets.
27 - New or enhanced admin scripts for IRSpy maintenance ### which?
28 - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
29 - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
30 if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
31 up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
32 complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
34 - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
35 you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
36 response was in lowercase "usmarc".
37 - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
39 1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
40 - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
41 accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
42 to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
43 way to know that the person editing a record is the same
44 person who first added it.
45 - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
46 guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
47 - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
48 record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.

78 editing and existing one.

80 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
