Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
+New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which better rejects
+bad ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
+
+--- 1.8.1 2001/10/29
+
+Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
+
+--- 1.8 2001/10/25
+
+* Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
+
+Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
+
+Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
+
+Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
+
+Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
+
+Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
+
+When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
+was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
+
+When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
+is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
+
+* Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
+escaped by using backslash (C-style).
+
+PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
+non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
+(e.g. @attr 9=title).
+
+CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
+
+* function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
+ waitIfPossible (was wait).
+
+Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
+to Matthew Carey.
+
+CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
+See ccl/bib1 for an example.
+
+Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
+
+* Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
+and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
+
+Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
+
+Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
+
+Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
+set was specified for scan.
+
+Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
+when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
+make it work.
+
+Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
+records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
+null-data rules ( <tag/>)
+
+On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
+is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
+when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
+on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
+relies on threads.
+
+Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
+(or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
+address. Only tested on UNIX.
+
+Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
+and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
+
+Added some OID's.
+
+* Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
+log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
+(such as other PHP extensions).
+
Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
