See: +http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/markup/04.html#Search-status + +Fixed bug #827: Using SSL fails on Debian etch. + +Fixed bug #826: Weird looking chars for set of MARC records. + +Implemented alternative Item Order package for ZOOM. If option "doc" is set, +that is treated as an ItemOrder with itemRequest being an XML document +external. The value of "doc" is the content. + +Extended the GFS search facility. New member of bend_search_rr +'estimated_hit_count' signals that hits is known to be an estmate +(higher or lower than real hit count). New member 'partial_resultset' +signals that the search was partial (hit count is lower or equal than +real hit count). For Z39.50, the information is stored in resultSetStatus +member of SearchResponse APDU. For SRU, the information is signalled +via SRU diagnostic 59: "Result set created with valid partial results +available". + +Switched from jade/pdfjdaetex to dblatex for Docbook documentation in PDF. + +--- 2.1.46 2007/01/13 + +Implemented bug #806: Deal with HTTP clients sending LF in HTTP headers. + +Added ZOOM_connection_peek_event. + +Implemented Generic select hook for ZOOM (bug #803). This is achieved with +the following new functions: + ZOOM_event_nonblock, ZOOM_connection_process, + ZOOM_connection_get_{socket,mask,timeout}, + ZOOM_connection_fire_event_{timeout,socket}. +The existing blocking event handler, ZOOM_event, is a wrapper for the ++ blocking ZOOM_event_sys_{poll,select}. + +Implemented function ccl_xml_config which parses XML version of CCL +configuration (bug #798). + +Fixed bug #797: yaz_marc_write_xml does not honor character conversion. + +Added timings utility (yaz/timing.h) + +--- 2.1.44 2007/01/03 + +Added yaz_marc_write_xml which creates MARCXML/MarcXchange record as +Libxml2 tree. + +Fixed bug #779: Rotation of apdu.log fails. + +Fixed for character set conversions: + Unicode to MARC-8 conversion for certain less preferred UTF-8 sequences. + Honor G1 set in MARC-8 decoding. + +--- 2.1.42 2006/12/17 + +Fixed bug #775: char conversion does not handle Alternative UTF-8 +sequences. + +Implemented function yaz_marc_read_line which parses MARC line format +records. There is a wealth of formats out there. So far, this function +reads line records produced by yaz_marc_write_line. + +yaz-marcdump's options -x, -X, -I, -e have been replaced with the +more generic and easier to remember(!) options: -i format and -o format +which specifies input format and output format respectively - where +format is one of "marc", "marcxml", "line", "marcxchange". + +Added 'check only' option for MARC utilities. Option -n for yaz-marcdump +does not print anything except warnings for records. + +For yaz-marcdump, added support for MARC split into files (-s) with a given +chunk size (-C). + +Changed the SRU update structures and codecs to reflect the SRU pre 1.0 +spec, at http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/record-update/ +This has changed the binary layout of the following structs: +Z_SRW_extra_record, Z_SRW_updateRequest, Z_SRW_updateResponse and +bend_update_rr . Patch by Ko van der Sloot. + +Added GFS utility function bend_assoc_is_alive which returns 1 if +association is still alive (client is connected); 0 otherwise (client +closed connection). This allows busy servers to stop working for +impatient clients. + +Added ziffy: the promiscuous Z39.50 APDU sniffer. until now, ziffy has +been a separate piece of software. This version of ziffy has been modified +to fit with YAZ. ziffy is copyright Rocco Carbone and covered by GPL v2. + +Fixed bug #740: Handle SRU records referring to xmlns's outside recordData. + +Fixed bug #722: Allow Z39.50 Init Options to be specified / retrieved. +Client code may now interrogate options such as "init_opt_sort" to +find out whether the server claims to support various options. + +--- 2.1.40 2006/11/27 + +Added utilities yaz_{set,get}_esn to set/get element set name from +record composition. + +Removed the build of libyazthread.la. The libyaz.so is the threaded version +of YAZ and has been so since YAZ 2.1.10. + +Implemented ZOOM_record_error which returns error information for +record (surrogate diagnostic). + +--- 2.1.38 2006/10/31 + +Updates for SRU Update by Ko van der Sloot: +1. Changed name from "operation" to "action" +2. Fixed that that "recordIdentifier" was called "recordId". Kept the old +versions in the code, marked as 'backward compatible'. +3. Added diagnostics for SRU Update. + +Fixed bug #709: Records are fetched in wrong format when tasks are queued. + +Fixed bug #707: CQL->RPN ignores lines with leading spaces. + +Fixed bug #706: XML hex encoding UTF-8 chars out of range 0-255. + +For GFS, fixed problem with SRU diagnostic 'First record position out of +range' being issued for 0 hits. + +zoomtst10 part of Windows Build. + +--- 2.1.36 2006/10/13 + +Implemented yaz_filepath_comp which splits a path into file path +components (required by Zebra 2.0.3+). + +Change wording of YAZ license to the 'Revised BSD License'. YAZ has used a +BSD inspired license until now so this should not have any real impact on +anybody. See http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php + +Fixed bug #687: Missing log lines. + +Fixed bug #678: CQL to PQF translation does not preserve double-quote +escaping. + +Fixed bug #689: SRU diagnostics to be added. + +Implemented new ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_is_idle, which checks +whether a connection is idle (no more work do do). + +--- 2.1.34 2006/10/04 + +Change type of optval from long to int for invocation of setsockopt with +the SO_REUSEADDR option. Thanks to Ateeq A. Altaf, Talis. + +Added support for specifying the max log file size for the Generic +Frontend Server. The size is given with option -r. + +--- 2.1.32 2006/09/21 + +Fix problem introduced in YAZ 2.1.28 WRT unix sockets in the ZOOM code. + +--- 2.1.30 2006/09/17 + +Fixes for getaddrinfo use, Bugs #655 + #660. These bugs were introduced +in YAZ 2.1.28. + +Fixed bug in Generic Frontend Server that could cause a server to stop +accepting new connections. Bug only seen on dual CPU Windows 2003 server. + +For the generic frontend server, the maximum record size is used as maximum +size of incoming packages (SRU + Z39.50). The value until was previously +only used in Z39.50 Init negotiation and, later, in a session controlled +sizes of records returned. This is controlled using -k option. It can be +specified, per server, with element maximumrecordsize in YAZ' GFS XML config. + +--- 2.1.28 2006/09/04 + +TCP/IP comstack uses getaddrinfo now to resolve names. It should be IPV6 +friendly now. + +Fixed bug #644: Using Non Reentrant gethostbyname causes SIGSEGV. + +New option for yaz-marcdump -lpos=value which allows setting a portion +of MARC header to a certain value. + +Fixes for MARC generation when encoded as MARC-8 (bug 642, 643). + +ZOOM-C reads option extraArgs. If set the value of extraArgs is appended to +SRU URI (POST/GET). Value must be URL encoded, such as x-id-a=v1&x-id-b=v2 . + +--- 2.1.26 2006/08/15 + +Fixed problem with SRU mode type (soap, get, post) for yaz-client +and ZOOM-C. + +Fixed problem another problem with ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_RECORD . Bug #626. + +--- 2.1.24 2006/08/08 + +Fixed MARC ISO2709 encoding routines to deal with character set +conversion. + +Minor changes to GFS logging. Database included in search request log +line. + +Fixes for ZOOM-C: event ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_RECORD was not generated for +cached/multiple records. + +Shared libraries are built by default on Unix+configure. + +Changed cql2pqf transformation to use a different evaluation order. The +new order is: always, relation, structure, position, truncation, index +and relationModifier. Old order was: always, relation, relationModifier, +structure, index, position, truncation. Note that the the latter ones +override former ones for identical attributes.. The new scheme means that +it is possible to override any existing attribute with a relationModifier. +And also that it is possible to override everything for the index rule +(except the ones listed in relationModifier). No order is perfect but this +one, we believe, covers more real cases.. The "always" should have been +called "default", since the attributes there can be overridden with all +the rest. + +For Libxml2 and friends, YAZ defines YAZ_HAVE_{XML2,XSLT,EXSLT) in the +compilation phase, but also for yaz-config --cflags output. This allows +us to have public headers with Libxml2 stuff in them . It should also, +eventually, make Libxml2 checks redundant in packages using YAZ, such +as yazproxy. + +--- 2.1.22 2006/06/15 + +Changed SRU update structure bend_update_rr so that SRU diagnostics are +stored in uri, message and details.. Previously diagnostics were stored +in errcode, errstring. Patch by Ko van der Sloot. Breaks binary +compatibility.. but he's probably the only one affected, so. + +Added support for CCL, compiled on the client side, in ZOOM-C. This +is invoked using ZOOM_query_ccl2rpn() with the CCL configuration as +input; the resulting query objects can be used for for searching with +ZOOM_connection_search() and scanning with ZOOM_connection_scan1(). + +YAZ' configure searches for OpenSSL by default. + +SSL comstack uses SL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file rather than +SL_CTX_use_certificate_file. See +http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/yazlist/2006-June/001615.html +for more info. Thanks to Ko van der Sloot. + +--- 2.1.20 2006/06/02 + +Bug #600: SRU GET, POST support for yaz-client. Introduced +command 'sru' which selects method SOAP/GET/POST. + +Allow missingValueAction to be specified for the sortspec string - +function yaz_sort_spec. By default, the missing value action is null. +Use ! to specify "abort". Use = followed by stringvalue to specify default +value. + +Ensured that Present-handler (if defined) is called in GFS before any call to +fetch-hhndler. This now includes piggy-backed presents as well as SRW/U +searchRetrieve requests. + +Documentation for YAZ is now based on the Docbook XML/XSLT using +xsltproc + N Walsh's stylesheets. It means that the CVS version of YAZ +is no longer depending on jade/openjade or docbook-to-man scripts. +PDF is no longer part of the distribution - but can optionally be +made using DSSSL/jadetex or FOP. + +Added retrieval handling support in Generic Frontend Server to support +conversion between MARC/XML as well as XSLTtransforms. See +etc/yazgfs.xml for an example. + +Added Authentication support to Generic Frontend Server in SRU +mode. Authentication using HTTP Basic is supported, as is the use +of 'x-username' and 'x-password' parameters in the request itself. + +Added support for a new character set MARC8s identical to MARC8 except +that it converts combined characters to single Unicode characters in the +Latin-1 range (when possible). + +--- 2.1.18 2006/04/24 ASN.1 compiler 0.4: generates brief Doxygen file header for generated .h/.c files. ---- 2.1.17 2006/04/20 - Utility yaz_iconv now supports conversion to MARC-8. New facilities for the MARC module. The reading - and writing of
