-Revision history for "cql-java"
+Revision history for the CQL-Java package.
See the bottom of this file for a list of things still to do.
-0.4 (IN PROGRESS)
+0.5 (IN PROGRESS, currently at RC1)
+ - Add an extra back-end method,
+ byte[] toType1(Properties config)
+ which generates an opaque BER-encoded PDU suitable for
+ forwarding to Z39.50 server as a pasrt of a searchRequest
+ APDU. This was contributed by Ralph Levan <levan@oclc.org>
+ - Change regression-test rules for Adam's compiler to use his
+ new front-end cql2xcql instead of the old cqlparse3.
+ - Change the names of the anchoring properties in
+ etc/pqf.properties and the CQLTermNode code that examines
+ them, in accordance with Adam's PQF-renderer's behaviour.
+ This gives more flexibility in terms of generating
+ attributes for end-of-field anchoring.
+ - Fix comment in etc/pqf.properties (claimed that the Type-1
+ "string" attribute was "phrase"). Just a documentation
+ error.
+ - Change the capitalisation of the project name from
+ "cql-java" to "CQL-Java". That doesn't really make any
+ difference to anything: in particular, file-names such as
+ "cql-java.jar" remain the same.
+ - Recreate last-in-field support
+ - Add srw.resultSet support to the toPFQ() method. I've not
+ attempted this for the toType1() method: Ralph will have to
+ do it.

+0.4 Thu Nov 21 10:09:26 2002
- Add support for the new "phonetic" relation modifier,
including its mapping in "etc/pqf.properties".
- Make prefix-maps bind loosely, so that ``>dc=x a and b''
rendition of prefix-mapping: a <prefixes> element,
containing one of more <prefix>es may appear at the top
of either a <searchClause> or a <triple>.
+ - Include test/regression/xmlpp.pl in the distribution: this
+ may now be used for testing whether a CQL compiler produces
+ _equivalent_ XCQL to what's in the regression test, rather
+ than requiring byte-identical output.
+ - Include the reference XCQL output in the distribution, for
+ the regression test suite to run against.
- Change build process so that javadoc documentation is built
- by "make" in the "docs" directory.
+ by "make" in the "docs" directory. There's now a top-level
+ makefile that builds the source, runs the test suite and
+ creates the documentation.
- Write javadoc comments for CQLRelation and ModifierSet.
- Other improvements to javadoc comments (e.g. describe the
`config' parameter to the toPQF() method.)
- - Include test/regression/xmlpp.pl in the distribution: this
- is now used for testing whether a CQL compiler produces
- _equivalent_ XCQL to the what's in the regression test,
- rather than requiring byte-identical output.
- Sort out the licence: I've settled on the LGPL.
- Remove the redundant and misleading etc/Grammar file.
- Fix up various Maintenance Agency web addresses that have
followed by a TT_WORD. The problem here is that I don't
think it's actually possible to fix this without throwing
out StreamTokenizer and rolling our own, which we absolutely
- _don't_ want to do.
- - Find out what the ZNG group finally settled on as the
- correct XCQL representation of prefix-mapping, and tweak my
- toXCQL() output to match that.
- - Add srw.resultSet support to the toPFQ() method.
- - Write "overview" file for the javadoc documentation.
+ - Fix term-to-PQF translation to omit empty properties
+ (for the broken Korean server)
+ - Write "package.html" file for the javadoc documentation.
- Some niceties for the cql-decompiling back-end:
* Don't emit redundant parentheses.
* Don't put spaces around relations that don't need them.
- - Consider the utility of yet another back-end that translates
- a CQLNode tree into JZKit's representation of a Type-1 query
- tree. That would be nice so that CQL could become a JZKit
- query-type; but you could achieve the same effect by
- generating PQF, and running that through JZKit's existing
- PQN-to-Type-1 compiler.
- Many refinements to the random query generator:
* Generate relation modifiers
* Proximity support
