+For SRU responses allow Content-Type application/xml as well as text/xml.
+
+--- 3.0.4 2007/05/21
+
+Fixed bug in character set conversion of BER strings. Bug introduced
+in 3.0.0.
+
+--- 3.0.2 2007/05/08
+
+For OIDs use Odr_oid type everywhere, i.e. do not assume Odr_oid=int.
+
+For OID class, use oid_class consistently.
+
+Fixed external handling for SUTRS and Explain records (bug appeared in 3.0
+series).
+
+Added partial support for ISO5428-1984, which is the "Greek alphabet coded
+character set for bibliographic information interchange". By Giannis Kosmas.
+
+Added documentation on new OID API.
+
+--- 3.0.0 2007/05/02
+
+Changes to generic frontend server interface: added new member
+'query_charset' for bend_initrequest structure. A backend init handler
+should set this member to its native character set for query terms.
+When defined, the frontend server logic will announce this character set
+to a client if the negotiationModel bit is set by the client. All server
+implementors are encouraged to specify this. If a backend server does not
+specify this a warning is issued using yaz_log(YLOG_WARN,..).
+
+Added CCL utility to remove terms (stop words) from resulting RPN
+tree. This is handled by functions with prefix ccl_stop_words_ .
+
+New ZOOM C option, "rpnCharset", which allows client-side conversion of
+terms in RPN queries.
+
+Clean-up the CCL API. Moved some internal structures from ccl.h to 
+private header cclp.h. Changed ccl_parser_create so that a Bibset must
+be supplied. Removed tokenize API from ccl.h - including ccl_parser_find.
+This is replaced by ccl_parser_find_str which takes a string instead.
+
+Split YAZ library into two libs : libyaz.la and libyaz_server.la.
+libyaz.la is the core of YAZ except the generic frontend server and
+does not depend on POSIX threads anymore. libyaz_server.la is the
+generic frontend server facilities and uses POSIX thread functionality
+if available. The libyaz.la no longer depends on POSIX threads because
+the number of global structures is limited. NMEM no longer re-uses blocks
+between threads ; it simply free's memory immediately but allocates in
+"large" chunks as usual. We don't expect any performance penalties
+because of this. The yaz_log system is still using a global log_level so
+caution must be taken when modifying it with yaz_log_init_.. +
+yaz_log_mask_str. This, however, should not cause any trouble because
+these functions are called during initialization of application code
+anyway. `yaz-config --libs  server` returns libs for server applications;
+`yaz-config --libs` returns libs for non-server applications.

 New OID database - with public definitions in oid_db.h. Removed old OID
 database including the head oid.h and definitions such as enum oid_value
 and struct oident. The new OID database uses the same string names as
