+New GFS search member: present_number. This is a hint to the
+search handler how many records are going to be fetched immediately
+following search. There's no guarantee that it's going to be the case,
+since it depends on hit count (for Z39.50 piggyback) and whether errors
+turn up.
+
+Make a few functions static (private). The functions getbyte_stream,
+ungetbyte_stream and yaz_gets are now private. They were never declared
+in a header file.
+
+yaz-marcdump: exit(5) for serious decoding errors
+
+ISO2709 decoding: be more picky WRT header
+
+GFS: bail out of fetch if last_in_set is set. Until now, last_in_set,
+was only used as to indicate that next-result-set-position should be
+set to zero.
+http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/markup/04.html#Next-result-set-position
+Based on patch from Ashley Sanders.
+
+Make some functions static/private in PQF parsing. Those functions were
+never declared in a public header and so should not be in use by
+applications based on YAZ.

+
+ZOOM: special options to control APDU logging.
+Using ZOOM_connection_option_set(c, "saveAPDU", "1") will enable
+logging of APDUs until "saveAPDU" option is set again. If logging is
+already enabled the effect is that current APDU buffer is cleared.
+Using ZOOM_connection_option_set(c, "saveAPDU", "0") disables
+logging (default behavior on new connection).
+The APDUs sent/received can be obtained by using
+Using ZOOM_connection_option_get(c, "APDU") or
+ZOOM_connection_option_getl(c, "APDU", &l).
+
+GFS: relay implementation_version from backend
+From 3.0.40 and later, implementation_version from backend was
+not used in init response at all.
+
+--- 4.2.46 2012/11/15
+
+Fix cs_rcvconnect for SSL comstack GNUTLS. Did not work in non-blocking
+mode at all. Probably never did.
+
+Make a new version of ztest.pem that, at least, is not expired.
+
+--- 4.2.45 2012/11/13
+
+Fix description of CCL directive 'case'.
+
+More tight checking of form arguments (yaz_uri_to_array). Makes
+YAZ better at rejecting big and/or bad POSTs.
+
+SRU decoding does not report more than up to 10 invalid arguments.
+
+rpn2cql: less quotes in generated terms. Semantics unchanged, but
+it's prettier this way.
+
+--- 4.2.44 2012/10/25
+
+New utility yaz_decode_init_diag. Defined in proto.h.
+
+Allow HTTP protocol on unix local socket. Also Z39.50 database may be
+given for unix local socket.
+    The COMSTACK string for doing so is:
+    unix:<spec>:<uri>
+    Examples:
+      unix:/myfile:tcp:localhost:9999/mybase
+      unix:/myfile:localhost:9999/mybase
+      unix:/myfile:http://fakehost/mybase
+
+debian: Use dpkg-buildflags in build process.

+
+ZOOM C: don't trust recordPosition always. Some servers, such as IGI
+global's SRU service uses a recordPosition scheme starting from zero.
+First record's position should be one
+according to the standard.
+
 --- 4.2.42 2012/10/18
 
 Allow more namespaces for SRU. This is to allow, for example, an
