A +backend init handler should set this member to its native character set +for query terms. When defined, the frontend server logic will announce +this character set to a client if the negotiationModel bit is set by the +client. ALL server implementors are encouraged to specify this. If they +don't, a warning is issued. + +Added CCL utility to remove terms (stop words) from resulting RPN +tree. This is handled by functions with prefix ccl_stop_words_ . + +New ZOOM C option, "rpnCharset", which allows client-side conversion of +terms in RPN queries. + +Clean-up the CCL API. Moved some internal structures from ccl.h to +private header cclp.h. Changed ccl_parser_create so that a Bibset must +be supplied. Removed tokenize API from ccl.h - including ccl_parser_find. +This is replaced by ccl_parser_find_str which takes a string instead. + +Split YAZ library into two libs : libyaz.la and libyaz_server.la. +libyaz.la is the core of YAZ except the generic frontend server and +does not depend on POSIX threads anymore. libyaz_server.la is the +generic frontend server facilities and uses POSIX thread functionality +if available. The libyaz.la no longer depends on POSIX threads because +the number of global structures is limited. NMEM no longer re-uses blocks +between threads ; it simply free's memory immediately but allocates in +"large" chunks as usual. We don't expect any performance penalties +because of this. The yaz_log system is still using a global log_level so +caution must be taken when modifying it with yaz_log_init_.. + +yaz_log_mask_str. This, however, should not cause any trouble because +these functions are called during initialization of application code +anyway. `yaz-config --libs server` returns libs for server applications; +`yaz-config --libs` returns libs for non-server applications. + +New OID database - with public definitions in oid_db.h. Removed old OID +database including the head oid.h and definitions such as enum oid_value +and struct oident. The new OID database uses the same string names as +before but the 'protocol' is gone. There are now only two representations +raw OID (int *) and string. Functions with prefix yaz_string_to_oid +converts from string to OID; functions with prefix yaz_oid_to_string +converts the other way. + Change to emit_term() in CQL-to-PQF query translation: when a term has the /regexp relation modifier, do not process it for leading and trailing "^" and "*", which have quite different meanings in regular
