-1.?????????
+Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
+
+--- XXXXX XXXX/XX/XX
+
+z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
+in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
+
+Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
+ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
+the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
+
+Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
+
+* Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
+code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
+look in proto.h.
+
+* Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
+under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
+
+Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
+that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
+
+Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
+inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
+
+Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
+updated.
+
+--- 1.0pl4 1996/1/24
+
+Added Sort PDU.
+
+Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
+the rank and record number.
+
+Adjustments to the frontend server.
+
+Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
+
+--- 1.0pl3 1996/1/2
+
+Various changes to retrieval module.
+
+Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
+ints paired with #defines.
+
+*Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
+ compilers.
+
+*Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
+ conflict with C++.
+
+Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
+
+--- 1.0pl2 1995/12/6
+
+Memory bug in log module fixed.
+
+--- 1.0pl1 1995/12/5
+
+Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
+
+Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
+
+Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
+
+--- 1.0 1995/11/28
+
+The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
+of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
+Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
+tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
+
+Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
+
+Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
+
+Added Espec-1 format.
+
+Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
+of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
+when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
+
+Demo client can request simple element set names.
+
+Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
+
+Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
+reporting yet), and demonstration client.
+
+Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
+
+--- 1.0b3 1995/08/24
+
+Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
+handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
+will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
+
+Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
+Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
+on request.
+
+Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
+
+Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
+level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
+of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
+
+Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
+Untested.
+
+Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
+odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
+
+Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
+was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
+
+* Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
+*encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
+'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
+are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
+seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
+
+Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
+structured record, type is deduced from format field.
+
+--- 1.0b2 1995/06/27
+Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
+
Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
-Cosmetic changes to the documentation. It shouldn't be strictly necessary
- for you to print it all over again.
-1.0b
-First widely announced release.
+* Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
+structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
+returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
+value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
+of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
+that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
+updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
+SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
+
+Documentation updated accordingly.
+
+You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
+Makefile.
+
+--- 1.0b 1995/06/19
+First public release.
