 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
 
-1.02  [IN PROGRESS]
+1.05  Wed Apr 12 13:31:27 BST 2006
+       - Implementation of asynchronous events!  The Net::Z3950::ZOOM
+         interface provides this through the event, last_event() and
+         event_str() functions.  The ZOOM interface provides it
+         through the ZOOM::event() and ZOOM:event_str() functions,
+         and the ZOOM::Connection class's last_event() function.
+       - New sample programs added illustrating both asynchronous
+         interfaces: samples/net-z3950-zoom/zoomtst3.pl and
+         samples/zoom/zoomtst3.pl respectively.  Additional sample
+         programs "async.pl" and "trivial-async.pl" for the ZOOM
+         interface only, the latter being a "shortest possible
+         broadcast search application".
+       - Added documentation on writing asynchronous applications.
+       - Added test-scripts "t/19-events.t" and "t/29-event.t" for
+         events on an asynchronous connection.
+       - Fix ZOOM::Connection::new so that options are handled in
+         accordance with the documentation: applied _before_ the
+         connection is forged, so that "async" and similar options
+         can take effect.
+
+1.04  Mon Apr  3 14:56:11 BST 2006
+       - The ZOOM-Perl layer now provides access to the underlying
+         ZOOM-C's character-translation functionality, through new
+         optional arguments to ZOOM::Record's render() and raw()
+         methods, and a new underlying get() method.
+
+1.03  Thu Mar  9 12:55:23 GMT 2006
+       - Allow additional key => value pairs as arguments to the
+         ZOOM::Connectoion constructor; these are added as Connection
+         options before the protocol connection is forged.
+
+1.02  Thu Mar  9 11:36:55 GMT 2006
        - Add interface to yaz_version().
        - Emit big warning at startup time if YAZ version is less than
          2.0.11 (which is what ZOOM-Perl 1.02 requires) unless the
          file /tmp/ignore-ZOOM-YAZ-version-mismatch exists.
        - Fix incorrect ZOOM-package URL in documentation.
+       - Fix typo ("createdb" package) in documentation.
        - The ZOOM::Connection constructor may now be called with only
          a single argument (host-string) and does not require a
          dummy port-number argument.

 To be done in future releases:
+       - Complete, test and document "update.pl"
        - Fix Net::Z3950::ZOOM::record_get() to use a struct datachunk
          _when_ appropriate, e.g. for "render" but probably not for
          "database" and "syntax".
-       - Support for asynchronous multiplexing: implement
-         ZOOM::event() and test ZOOM::Connection::last_event().
-       - Write example programs for "samples" direction.
        - Create old-style Net::Z3950 compatibility layer.
        - Fix memory leaks in callback functions for option sets.
        - Fix limitation that option-set callback functions must be
          specified as strings containing package-qualified function
          names.
-       - Fix test-suite to actually send the "drop" packages once
-         Zebra's been fixed so this doesn't current the store.
