Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
-TODO
- DONE Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
+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.
+
+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.

+ - Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
+ - Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
list of targets beginning with "R".
- DONE Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
+ - Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
space-separated string.
- DONE Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
+ - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
target IDs even if they contain spaces.
