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 ( ) + +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. + +Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific +compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov + +Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool. + +* Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by +one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and +bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct. +Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init +handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to +external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole +thing a single DLL/SO. + +Added Segment handler for backend server. + +Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client. + +Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available). +Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading. + +--- 1.6 2000/03/03 + +Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use +of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders +located in sub directory asn. + +YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed +in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and +yaz-ztest. + +GNU automake used to maintain makefiles. + +Added several OID's. + +Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract +syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string +tags. + +Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill. + +--- 1.5 1999/12/10 + +On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'. +The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location +(default is /usr/local). + +* YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and +yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard" +locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc. + +* YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header +files are referred to as include rather than . +The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers +should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz +instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files +can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include +without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored +in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example). + +Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile +rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files +are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for +details. + +Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name +clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf +to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this +modification. + +Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are +called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever +a service is started/stopped. + +* YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using +a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located +in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few +cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the +following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse, +Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat. +The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled +ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50 +protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory z39.50. If you +wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc +for configure. + +Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled +version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update + * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
