Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.

1.03  [IN PROGRESS]
	- Liberalise hostname validation regexp, so that hyphens are
	  allowed in the name.
	- Add Search::Bath to Search::Main test.
	- Assess reliability on the basis of the last sixty days only.
	- Test for simple access-point-only searches when Bath-profile
	  searches fail.
	- Introduce the notion of rules, which are applied under
	  specified conditions resulting in specified actions.  As a
	  motivating example, when working on a server with an
	  implementation name (or ID or version) matching a specified
	  regular expression, skip a named test: this is used to avoid
	  having the test of catalog.dallaslibrary.org:210/PAC hang
	  when we attempt to test its CQL capabilities.
	- Sample rules file etc/dallas.rules
	- The Web UI sets $ZOOM::IRSpy::xslt_max_depth to 3500, just
	  like the overnight test-script.  This is a hideous hack to
	  cope with the fact that XSLT can't iterate, and explodes if
	  you ask it to recurse across a list of more than a half
	  dozen elements.
	- New script bin/irspy-xpath.pl -- a simple wrapper for
	  running an XPath with IRSpy-related namespaces established.

1.02  Wed Jul  7 16:43:36 BST 2010
	- Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
	  address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
	- Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
	  targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
		hashval mod n == i
	- Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
	  restrict_modulo().  This enables us to set up cron jobs to
	  test one seventh of the targets each night.
	- Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
	  be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
	  rather than the default ISO-8859-1.  Fixes bug #3420.
	- Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
	  multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
	  Test result is saved in the new element 
	  <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
	- Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
	  respond to Bath-profile searches.  Test result is saved in
	  the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
	  for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
	- The web UI displays this new information in full-record
	  view.
	- A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
	  setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element.  This can
	  be set and unset from the Admin UI.  It's useful for
	  omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
	- Improve input validation for new targets.
	- New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
	  maintenance.
	- Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
	- Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
	  if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
	  up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target.  A
	  complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
	  reliable.
	- Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that 
	  you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server 
	  response was in lowercase "usmarc".
	- Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
	- Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
	  the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
	  package in the Macports collection.
	- _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for
	  comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
	  identifiers.
	- Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
	  record-syntax support using the wrong
	  preferredRecordSyntax.
	- Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
	  failure.  Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
	- irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
	- Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
	- robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.

1.01  Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
	- Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
	  accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
	  to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
	  way to know that the person editing a record is the same
	  person who first added it.
	- When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
	  guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
	- Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
	  record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.

1.00  Mon Jul  9 10:42:06 BST 2007
	- First public release.
	- Many, many changes since 0.02.

0.02  Wed Jun 27 12:09:49 BST 2007
	- Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
	- Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
	    list of targets beginning with "R".
	- Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
	    space-separated string.
	- Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
	    target IDs even if they contain spaces.
	- Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters.
	- Proper HTML-quoting of all output.
	- Capture YAZ logging output for web display.
	- Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration.
	- Much better "Add a target" form, including:
		- Name
		- URL to hosting organisation
		- Email to technical contact
		- Username/password if needed
		- Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate,
		    Special, National, Education or Other)
		- Country.
	- "Add another database to this target" button.
	- Form for editing details of an existing target.
	- Require authentication for database-changing operations
		such as target testing, adding a new target and
		editing and existing one.
	- Add statistics page like that one at
		http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
	- Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
	  ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
	- Many, many more enhancements.
