 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
 
+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.

+       - 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.

 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.
