 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
 
+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
+	  INIT is a reserved word in Perl.  In version 1.14 and
+	  earlier, "require ZOOM" would fail, saying "Too late to run
+	  INIT block", and "use ZOOM" would result in
+	  ZOOM::Error::INIT having a value equal to its name (why?!)
+	  rather than, as intended, Net::Z3950::ZOOM::ERROR_INIT.
+	- Belatedly added documentation for $rec->error() and
+	  $rec->exception().
+
+1.14  Tue Nov 28 17:33:07 GMT 2006
+	- Add $record->error() to return non-surrogate diagnostics,
+	  and $record->exception() to return the same information
+	  wrapped in a ZOOM::Exception object.
+	- Requires YAZ 2.1.40, which provides ZOOM_record_error().
+	- $conn->error_x() now returns the error-code when called in
+	  scalar context, rather than the diagnostic set name.
+
+1.13  Sat Nov  4 16:47:00 GMT 2006
+	- ZOOM::Connection::create() may now take either a single
+	  argument, which is a ZOOM::Options object, or any even
+	  number of argument (including zero), which are key => value
+	  pairs of options to set.
+	- ZOOM::Connection::new(), having been refactored to use
+	  create(), can now also take a ZOOM::Options argument.
+	- Documentation now includes information on specifying SRW,
+	  SRU-over-GET and SRU-over-POST connections.
+	- ZOOM::ResultSet::record() throws a diagnostic if asked to
+	  retrieve records out of range for the result-set.
+	- All tests against indexdata.com are now explicitly against
+	  z3950.indexdata.com, as the identity of the former name has
+	  recently changed.
+
+1.12  (NEVER PUBLICLY RELEASED; these changes are included in 1.13)
+	- Include the useful example program samples/zoom/zselect,
+	  which is installed as part of "make install".
+	- Add ZOOM_connection_is_idle() and $conn->is_idle().
+	- Require YAZ version 2.1.35, which is the first to provide
+	  ZOOM_connection_is_idle().
+	- Fix bug in ZOOM::Connection class code that made the
+	  difficult to subclass -- when called as
+	  $class->SUPER::new(@_), the constructor blessed the new
+	  object into ZOOM::Connection rather than info the subclass.
+
 1.11  Thu Aug 31 16:47:53 BST 2006
 	- Require YAZ version 2.1.17, which has important ZOOM-C
 	  bug-fixes.
