+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).
