+Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
-Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::IRSpy.
+1.03 [IN PROGRESS]
+ - Liberalise hostname validation regexp, so that hyphens are
+ allowed in the name.
+ - Add Search::Bath to Search::Main test.
+ - Assess reliability on the basis of the last sixty days only.
+ - Test for simple access-point-only searches when Bath-profile
+ searches fail.
+ - Introduce the notion of rules, which are applied under
+ specified conditions resulting in specified actions. As a
+ motivating example, when working on a server with an
+ implementation name (or ID or version) matching a specified
+ regular expression, skip a named test: this is used to avoid
+ having the test of catalog.dallaslibrary.org:210/PAC hang
+ when we attempt to test its CQL capabilities.
+ - Sample rules file etc/dallas.rules
+ - The Web UI sets $ZOOM::IRSpy::xslt_max_depth to 3500, just
+ like the overnight test-script. This is a hideous hack to
+ cope with the fact that XSLT can't iterate, and explodes if
+ you ask it to recurse across a list of more than a half
+ dozen elements.
+ - New script bin/irspy-xpath.pl -- a simple wrapper for
+ running an XPath with IRSpy-related namespaces established.
+ - Record::Fetch test registers a fail when the syntax actually
+ retrieved does not match that requested. Fixes bug IR-324.
+ - Record::OPAC test check that record returned in piggyback
+ after OPAC-record request really is an OPAC record. Fixes
+ bug IR-331.
+ - Add new test, Record::PiggyBack, with support for viewing,
+ editing and storing results. Fixes bug IR-333.
+ - IDs used in URLs for full-record links are properly
+ CQL-quoted. Fixes part of IR-303.
+ - Move aside the old, unused lib/ZOOM/Pod.pm. Will be removed
+ from distribution entirely in a subsequent release.
+ - Support new "irspy_data" log-level to register information
+ written to target description record.
+ - need a nagios alert script to check irspy updates, IR-336
+ - Better logging for skipped tests.
+ - No failure within the Search::Bib1 test causes following
+ sibling tests to be skipped. Fixes bug IR-338.
-0.02 [IN PROGRESS]
+1.02 Wed Jul 7 16:43:36 BST 2010
+ - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
+ address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
+ - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
+ targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
+ hashval mod n == i
+ - Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
+ restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
+ test one seventh of the targets each night.
+ - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
+ be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
+ rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
+ - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
+ multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
+ Test result is saved in the new element
+ <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
+ - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
+ respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
+ the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
+ for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
+ - The web UI displays this new information in full-record
+ view.
+ - A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
+ setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can
+ be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for
+ omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
+ - Improve input validation for new targets.
+ - New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
+ maintenance.
+ - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
+ - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
+ if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
+ up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
+ complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
+ reliable.
+ - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
+ you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
+ response was in lowercase "usmarc".
+ - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
+ - Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
+ the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
+ package in the Macports collection.
+ - _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for
+ comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
+ identifiers.
+ - Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
+ record-syntax support using the wrong
+ preferredRecordSyntax.
+ - Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
+ failure. Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
+ - irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
+ - Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
+ - robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.
+
+1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
+ - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
+ accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
+ to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
+ way to know that the person editing a record is the same
+ person who first added it.
+ - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
+ guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
+ - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
+ record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.
+
+1.00 Mon Jul 9 10:42:06 BST 2007
+ - First public release.
+ - Many, many changes since 0.02.
+
+0.02 Wed Jun 27 12:09:49 BST 2007
+ - Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
+ - Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
+ list of targets beginning with "R".
+ - Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
+ space-separated string.
+ - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
+ target IDs even if they contain spaces.
+ - Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters.
+ - Proper HTML-quoting of all output.
+ - Capture YAZ logging output for web display.
+ - Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration.
+ - Much better "Add a target" form, including:
+ - Name
+ - URL to hosting organisation
+ - Email to technical contact
+ - Username/password if needed
+ - Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate,
+ Special, National, Education or Other)
+ - Country.
+ - "Add another database to this target" button.
+ - Form for editing details of an existing target.
+ - Require authentication for database-changing operations
+ such as target testing, adding a new target and
+ editing and existing one.
+ - Add statistics page like that one at
+ http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
+ - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
+ ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
+ - Many, many more enhancements.
