+Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::SimpleServer
+
+0.08  Mon Jun  7 19:02:27 2004
+       - SimpleServer is now perl 5.8 thread proof 
+       - Support for IMP_ID parameter in Init responses.  This was
+         actually written a long time ago, but left commented out as
+         the underlying YAZ back-end server didn't support
+         implementation-ID setting.  Now that it does (and has done
+         for eighteen months -- since YAZ release 1.8.6 of
+         2002/03/25!), I've finally removed the comments.
+       - Init handler now understands the setting of {ERR_CODE} as
+         more than a boolean success indicator, and also {ERR_STR}.
+         They are now passed back to the client (thanks to recent
+         changes to the YAZ generic front-end server) in accordance
+         with Z39.50 Implementor Agreement 5, found at
+               http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/agree/initdiag.html

+0.07  Fri Jan 03 10:12:15 2003
+        - Applied Dave Mitchell's (davem@fdgroup.com) GRS-1 parsing patch.
+         Thanks Dave, and sorry it didn't find its way to release 0.06,
+         completely my fault.
+
+0.06  Thu Jan 02 11:15:01 2003
+        - Added support for authentication
+       - Add documentation for the object tree passed as the RPN
+         member of the search-handler's argument hash.
+       - We actually removed the vacuous Changelog and TODO files
+         back in 0.05.  They should never have been here :-)
+
+0.05  Tue Feb 05 21:54:30 2002
+        - Add brief documentation of the new handling
+         of RPN.
+
+0.04  Tue Feb 05 21:49:56 2002
+       - Add Changelog (### Why?  We already have this file!)
+       - Add TODO file (although it's empty!)
+       - Change interface to constructor, and fix test.pl script to
+         use the new interface.
+       - Add support for Scan.
+       - Add support for building GRS-1 records.
+       - Add grs_test.pl test suite for new GRS-1 code.
+       - Add RPN structure to search-handler argument hash.
+       - Add PID element to init, search, fetch and present-handler
+         argument hashes (but not the sort, scan and close-handlers,
+         for some reason.)
+       - Fix typos in documentation.
+
+0.03  Thu Nov 09 16:22:00 2000
+       - Add the INSTALL file.
+       - Add support for a present-handler (distinct from fetch).
+       - Remove `$args->{LEN} = length($record)' from the example
+         fetch-handler in the documentation.
+       - Minor corrections to documentation, e.g. add commas after
+         elements in anonymous hash of arguments.
+       - Record syntaxes (formats) are now specified as ASCII OIDs
+         (e.g. "1.2.840.10003.5.10") rather than human-readable
+         strings (e.g. "usmarc")
+       - Add some XS code to support sorting, though it doesn't seem
+         to be finished yet, and is not wired out.
+       - Use symbolic constants (e.g. Z_ElementSetNames_generic
+         instead of hard-wired magic number 1).
+       - Add PEER_NAME element to init-handler argument hash.
+       - Minor changes to ztest.pl.
