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.
