Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
-1.01 (IN PROGRESS)
+1.06 IN PROGRESS
+ - Avoid mixed statement/declaration in ZOOM.xs. *sigh* Why
+ the heck GCC allows this by default I will never understand.
+ - Add (commented out) OPTIMIZE option to Makefile.PL, to turn
+ on -Wdeclaration-after-statement, which makes mixed
+ statement/declaration illegal.
+
+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.
+
+1.01 Thu Dec 22 14:13:34 GMT 2005
- Place some CODE: chunks in "ZOOM.xs" inside curly brackets
so that the declarations they begin with are at the start of
the block. This avoid mixed code/declarations. (The
- Add new ZOOM::Log class for logging, providing aliases for
the functions in the Net::Z3950::ZOOM layer.
- Add diagnostic set to rendering of Exception objects.
- - ### Documentation updates required for CQL compilation,
- logging and exception rendering.
+ - Documentation added for CQL compilation and logging.
1.00 Wed Dec 14 11:18:33 GMT 2005
- First distributed version.
--
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.
