 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
 
-1.16  (IN PROGRESS)
+1.20  (IN PROGRESS)
+       - Add new sample program, samples/zoom/zoomscan.pl
+       - samples/zoom/zoomtst1.pl now accepts arbitrary options at
+         the end of the command-line, so that (for example) you can
+         specify a non-USMARC record syntax.
+
+1.19  Mon Jul  9 14:09:31 BST 2007
+       - Add $conn->exception() method.
+       - Set version number for Net::Z3950 to 0.99 -- less than the
+         1.0 version number that will be used when it successfully
+         emulates the old Net::Z3950 module, but superseding the last
+         release, 0.51, of that module.
+       - Include samples/zoom/zdump.pl in distribution.
+       - Add "irspy" namespace to samples/zoom/zselect
+
+1.18  Mon Feb 26 14:57:48 GMT 2007
+       - When a connection is in asynchronous mode, failing
+         operations (search, scan, etc.) no longer throw exceptions.
+         This is because the event-loop in asychronous applications
+         needs to check for errors anyway, in case the server has
+         returned high-level diagnostics such as "unsupported use
+         attribute".  So this check within the event-loop is now the
+         only place where error-checking need be done.
+       - Add new public ZOOM::Connection() function, check(), which
+         throws an exception if an error is pending (even if the
+         connection is asynchronous).
+       - New YAZ logging level, "zoom_check", notes when errors are
+         detected and either left unreported (asynchronous
+         connections) or thrown as exception (synchronous).
+
+1.17  Thu Feb 22 20:38:45 GMT 2007
+       - Change Net::Z3950::ZOOM::event() to allocate its array of
+         connection pointers dynamically, so there is no longer an
+         arbitrary limit of 100.
+       - New connection-level option "_check_debug" emits messages on
+         standard error when checking a connection find an error that
+         is about to result in throwing an exception.  There is no
+         reason for you ever to use this, though -- pretend you don't
+         know about it.
+
+1.16  Tue Jan 16 11:18:34 GMT 2007
        - Require version 2.1.41 or better of YAZ, so that Init
          Response options are available using
          $conn->option("init_opt_sort") etc.
        - Include samples/zoom/zhello.pl to exercise these options.
+       - Add ZOOM_connection_peek_event() and $conn->peek_event().
+       - Require YAZ version 2.1.45, which is the first to provide
+         ZOOM_connection_peek_event().
 
 1.15  Fri Dec  1 14:17:49 GMT 2006
        - ZOOM::Error::INIT is renamed to ZOOM::Error::ZINIT, since
