Revision history for "cql-java"
See the bottom of this file for a list of things still to do.
-0.3 (IN PROGRESS)
+0.4 (IN PROGRESS)
+ - 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''
+ applies the dc=x binding to both the ``a'' and ``b''
+ sub-queries.
+ - Change the XCQL output to include the nasty (but official)
+ <leftOperand> and <rightOperand> wrapper elements.
+ - Change the XCQL output to use the nasty (but official)
+ 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>.
+ - Change build process so that javadoc documentation is built
+ by "make" in the "docs" directory.
+ - 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
+ moved in the great ZING-release shake-up.

+0.3 Fri Nov 15 12:04:04 2002
- Allow keywords to be used unquoted as search terms.
- Add support for serverChoiceRelation (scr).
- Add support for prefix-mapping, as in
- >dc="http://dublincore.org/ dc.title=fish
+ >dc="http://www.loc.gov/zing/cql/dc-indexes/" dc.title=fish
and

The XCQL generated corresponds to Adam's suggested format
rather than Rob's, not so much because I prefer it (although
I do) as because it's what fell out when I just Coded What
- Fix the bug where "9x" is parsed as two tokens, a TT_NUMBER
followed by a TT_WORD. The problem here is that I don't
think it's actually possible to fix this without throwing
- out StreakTokenizer and rolling our own, which we absolutely
+ out StreamTokenizer and rolling our own, which we absolutely
_don't_ want to do.
- - Describe prefix-mapping in the CQL tutorial (not really
- anything to do with cql-java, but this note will remind me
- to do it.)
- - Add support for the new "phonetic" relation modifier.
- - Write javadoc comments for CQLRelation and ModifierSet.
+ - 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.
- Some niceties for the cql-decompiling back-end:
* Don't emit redundant parentheses.
* Better selection of terms (from a dictionary file?)
* Introduce wildcard characters into generated terms
* Generate multi-word terms
+ * Generate prefix-mappings
