1 Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
4 - Liberalise hostname validation regexp, so that hyphens are
6 - Add Search::Bath to Search::Main test.
7 - Assess reliability on the basis of the last sixty days only.
8 - Test for simple access-point-only searches when Bath-profile
10 - Introduce the notion of rules, which are applied under
11 specified conditions resulting in specified actions. As a
12 motivating example, when working on a server with an
13 implementation name (or ID or version) matching a specified
14 regular expression, skip a named test: this is used to avoid
15 having the test of catalog.dallaslibrary.org:210/PAC hang
16 when we attempt to test its CQL capabilities.
17 - Sample rules file etc/dallas.rules
18 - The Web UI sets $ZOOM::IRSpy::xslt_max_depth to 3500, just
19 like the overnight test-script. This is a hideous hack to
20 cope with the fact that XSLT can't iterate, and explodes if
21 you ask it to recurse across a list of more than a half
23 - New script bin/irspy-xpath.pl -- a simple wrapper for
24 running an XPath with IRSpy-related namespaces established.
25 - Add new test, Record::PiggyBack, with support for viewing,
26 editing and storing results. Fixes bug IR-333.
27 - IDs used in URLs for full-record links are properly
28 CQL-quoted. Fixes part of IR-303.
30 1.02 Wed Jul 7 16:43:36 BST 2010
31 - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
32 address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
33 - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
34 targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
36 - Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
37 restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
38 test one seventh of the targets each night.
39 - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
40 be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
41 rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
42 - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
43 multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
44 Test result is saved in the new element
45 <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
46 - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
47 respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
48 the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
49 for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
50 - The web UI displays this new information in full-record
52 - A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
53 setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can
54 be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for
55 omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
56 - Improve input validation for new targets.
57 - New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
59 - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
60 - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
61 if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
62 up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
63 complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
65 - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
66 you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
67 response was in lowercase "usmarc".
68 - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
69 - Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
70 the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
71 package in the Macports collection.
72 - _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for
73 comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
75 - Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
76 record-syntax support using the wrong
77 preferredRecordSyntax.
78 - Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
79 failure. Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
80 - irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
81 - Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
82 - robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.
84 1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
85 - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
86 accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
87 to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
88 way to know that the person editing a record is the same
89 person who first added it.
90 - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
91 guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
92 - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
93 record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.
95 1.00 Mon Jul 9 10:42:06 BST 2007
96 - First public release.
97 - Many, many changes since 0.02.
99 0.02 Wed Jun 27 12:09:49 BST 2007
100 - Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
101 - Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
102 list of targets beginning with "R".
103 - Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
104 space-separated string.
105 - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
106 target IDs even if they contain spaces.
107 - Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters.
108 - Proper HTML-quoting of all output.
109 - Capture YAZ logging output for web display.
110 - Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration.
111 - Much better "Add a target" form, including:
113 - URL to hosting organisation
114 - Email to technical contact
115 - Username/password if needed
116 - Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate,
117 Special, National, Education or Other)
119 - "Add another database to this target" button.
120 - Form for editing details of an existing target.
121 - Require authentication for database-changing operations
122 such as target testing, adding a new target and
123 editing and existing one.
124 - Add statistics page like that one at
125 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
126 - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
127 ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
128 - Many, many more enhancements.
