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. + +Utility yaz_iconv now supports conversion to MARC-8. + +New facilities for the MARC module. The reading - and writing of +content are separate methods for the yaz_marc_t handle. The following +read functions are available: yaz_marc_read_iso2709 (Reads MARC in +ISO2709 format), yaz_marc_read_xml (reads MARC in MARCXML/MarcXchange +format). Write functions have prefix yaz_marc_write_.. The existing +utilities yaz_marc_decode_wrbuf and yaz_marc_decode_buf are still +available. Removed support for OAI-MARC and simplexml (not the +simplexml from PHP5). + +Added a new ZOOM event type ZOOM_EVENT_END which signals no more events +to be returned for this connection. + +--- 2.1.16 2006/03/31 + +Allow multiple languages and charsets to be specified with +yaz-client. Each item must be separated by comma (NO BLANKS). E.g. + negcharset iso-8859-1,utf-8 + +Translation of proximity nodes from CQL into PQF now works. + +Moved to automake 1.8, 1.9. + +Added function yaz_log_set_handler which allows a log handler to be +installed. This handler will be called for all log messages. Output +to file is also produced; but that can be disabled by passing NULL +fname to yaz_log_init_file. + +Fixed another problem with MARC-8 -> ISO-8859-1 conversions. Bug #537. + +For SRW (including GFS), accept application/soap+xml as content-type +for SOAP msg. + +For GFS in SRU mode, an empty stylesheet in SRU URL (&stylesheet=&) +produces NO stylesheet reference even if a default stylesheet is specified +in GFS XML config. + +--- 2.1.14 2006/03/14 + +Updated Windows package to include yazd.dll + yazd.lib for the +Development component. + +If the environment variable YAZ_LOG is set, then it is used as a +string indicating the default level of logging to use if not +overridden by calls to yaz_log_init() or yaz_log_init_level(). If +it's not defined, then the manifest constant YLOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL is +used as before. So, for example, to omit warnings from YAZ logging, + export YAZ_LOG=-warn + +cql_transform() now map structure and other attributes before indexes, +so that index-specific structures and other attributes can override +defaults. So now a combination of mapping specifications such as: + structure.* = 4=1 + index.dc.date = 1=date-modified 4=5 +does the right thing. + +cql_transform() now also respects the "always" mapping specification, +which establishes an initial set of attributes to be used for all +terms except where overridden by more specific attributes associated +with the index, relation or modifier. + +Added SRU-GET and SRU-POST support for ZOOM C. Option "sru" specifies +which mode to use; one of "post", "get" or "soap" (SRW, default). + +Fixes for yaz_iconv routines: changed trie-based character set conversions +to use only non-negative values for bit fields due to Sun's C compiler not +supporting negative values. + +Fixed bug in character set conversion yaz_iconv. Some three byte UTF-8 +sequences where not read correctly. Fix by Rustam Usmanov. + +Updated win/makefile to use options, settings which makes things +compile with VS C 2005. + +--- 2.1.12 2006/02/01 + +Fixed bug in yaz_oi_update which used incorrect value for categoryValue. + +In ZOOM socket code, use select instead of poll on MacOSX. + +ZOOM-C now support client-side compilation of CQL into RPN that is +sent to the server, enabling CQL to be used against all Z39.50 +servers. Use ZOOM_query_cql2rpn() to set the compiled CQL into a +ZOOM_query object, and submit it using ZOOM_connection_search(). +The CQL-to-RPN translation uses a configuration file, the name of +which must be specified in the Connection's "cqlfile" option. + +ZOOM-C also support CQL scanning, via the new ZOOM_connection_scan1() +function, which takes as its start-term parameter a ZOOM_query object +(which may have had either CQL or RPN set into it). + + --- 2.1.10 2005/11/29 Added ZiNG Update Support. New codecs are defined in srw.h. Extended the GFS to support this as well. Backend handler, bend_srw_update, does the update work.
