+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.

+
+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

 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.
