+Command search takes two optional parameters, startecs and maxrecs,
+that specifies the start offset (0, 1, ...) and maximum number of records
+to fetch for each target.
+
+XSLTs + MARC maps are cached within a session so we don't re-parse
+them over and over again. Even for a session with a single search
+there's much to be gained because many targets use the same
+transformation.
+
+The metadata attribute 'mergekey' now takes one of three values 'no',
+'required', 'optional' .  And the resulting mergekey from metadata
+is now ordered in the same way as metadata in the service definition.
+Older Pazpar2 version use the order in which metadata appeared in a
+record instance.
+
+The search argument 'filter' now offers a new operator ~ which does a 
+substring match. The = operator works as before: string match for
+anything but pz:id, or target match for pz:id.
+
+New setting pz:recordfilter. The value of this setting takes the
+form name[~value]. This setting makes Pazpar2 ignore all retrieved
+records that do not have the metadata element name with value substring
+(if given).
+
+Pazpar2 allows YAZ log level to be set (option -v).

+
+For WS responses Pazpar2 creates XML header. Exception: raw record.
+
+Setting XML files are now stored in etc/settings instead of etc. This
+reflects the layout with the Debian package layout.
+
+Settings may be posted for command=settings. The POSTed settings must
+have root element 'settings' like regular setting files. In order to be
+recognized, the POST request must use Content-Type=text/xml.
+
+A service may be posted for command=init. This service will be used
+during the session. The service may have its own target settings,
+ICU config, timeout, etc. In order to be recognized, the POST request
+must use Content-Type=text/xml.
+
+Timeout values may be given per-service. That's element 'timeout' 
+which takes three attribute values (a subset may be given): 'session',
+'z3950_operation', 'z3950_session'. Option -T is no longer supported
+- used to specify session timeout.
+
 Option -t tests the Pazpar2 configuration and returns exit code
 (0=success, non-zero=failure). In previous version of Pazpar2, -t
 specified local settings.
