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. Code contributed by Ko van der Sloot. + +Allow retrieval of Search Result-1 information in ZOOM by the use of +options that are attached to a result set. ZOOM documentation updated +accordingly. + +Fixed bug #416: First/second comb characters not handled in the MARC-8 to +UTF-8 conversion. Patch by Raj Patel. + +Added option -m to GFS to control formatting of timestamps in log file. + +Added 'exit' as synonym for 'quit' in yaz-client + +Added support for specifying SRW resultSetId + resultSetIdleTime in a +Generic Frontend Server's search handler. Refer to include/yaz/backend.h +for the new members. Patch by Ko van der Sloot. + +Added support for SRU POST. It is supported for content-type +application/x-www-form-urlencoded only. Patch by Ko van der Sloot. + +Do not build the separate Multi-threaded (MT) library libyazthread.la. +Instead make the library libyaz.la multi-threaded. Threading as a whole +can still be disabled by configure option --disable-threads. Previosly, +with older GLIBCs there were problems with MT libs under Apache. This +has now been fixed a long time ago. + +Fixed bugs in yaz_log that occurred on Sparc Solaris in Multi-threaded +applications. + +CQL module modified to be case insensitive for relations/indexes/operations. + +Fixed bug in CQL transform code: incorrect value relationModifieder +was used. + +Added 'show all' command for yaz-client which retrieves all results +for last search. + +Added new yaz-client, xmles, which takes a (private) OID and +a document to be sent as an extended service request. + +Describe new yaz-client commands wait_response and set_auto_wait. + +Increase TCP/IP listener backlog from 3 (which I am guessing was +copied from the SunOS manual entry way back when) so SOMAXCONN, so +that the socket will queue as many incoming connections as it's able +to handle ongoing connections. In other words, it will never now +refuse a connection that it would be able to handle merely because +it's not got around to accepting() enough of the pending connections +yet. This is the behaviour anyway under Linux, where the listen() +argument is ignored; but not under BSD and on systems such as +MS-Windows that use BSD-derived TCP/IP stacks. The behaviour of +YAZ-based servers should now be uniform across operating systems in +this respect. + +yaz-marcdump uses 64-bit file access on some systems. This is enabled +on Linux and other Unix variants where _FILE_OFSET_BITS=64 is supported. +This allows yaz-marcdump to read large MARC batches (>2 GB). + +Modified all YAZ source files - except the source which is auto-generated +by tools - to use spaces rather than TABS. Emacs/VIM trailer added to +all source files. + +Add ZOOM_connection_option_getl() and ZOOM_options_getl(), +corresponding to the existing *_setl() function. These allow option +values containing arbitrary valuues. + +Add ZOOM_resultset_sort1(), which should ALWAYS be used in place of +ZOOM_resultset_sort() in new applications. Its behaviour is identical +except that it returns an indicator of whether or not the sort +criterion was accepted (0 for OK, -1 for invalid). + +--- 2.1.8 2005/06/07 + +Fixed bug in yaz_marc_decode_buf. By mistake the routine appended +MARC output rather than returning "new" buffer. + +yaz-client warns about unknown init options. + +Fixed bug #371: "options concurrentOperations ignores concurrentOperations" + +--- 2.1.6 2005/05/24 + +Added support for SRW sort in Generic Frontend Server. Patch +by Ko van der Sloot. Member srw_sortKeys in bend_search_rr holds +sortKeys - or NULL if none is provided. + +Fixed bug #307: It was impossible to specify indefinite/no timeout +for ZOOM_event. Special timeout value -1 now means indefinite timeout +(i.e. no timeout). + +Added support for multiple languages and charsets to be specified in +ZOOM. Each charset/language is separated by a blank. If negotiation is +in effect in init-response, Option +"negotiation-charset-in-effect-for-records" set to 1(true) or 0(false). +Code based on patch by Vasiliy Osadchuk. + +Fixed bug #306: infinite recursion that occurred when calling +yaz_log_level_init as the first call (before other log level or +nmem_init calls) + +Fixed bug in scan handling in front end server: if preferred-Position-In- +Response was non-present, a NULL pointer referece was performed. + +--- 2.1.4 2005/04/26 + +Changed include/yaz/diagbib1.h and added include/yaz/diagsrw.h with +diagnostic messages+codes for Bib-1 and SRW. Preprocessor defines are +now defined for all those error codes. So instead of putting 109 in +your program you'd use YAZ_BIB1_DATABASE_UNAVAILABLE. The messages +are generated from a .csv - file. See src/bib1.csv and srw/srw.csv. + +Modified the yaz-marcdump utility to skip garbage bytes between MARC +records in a file. + +Fixed bug - uninitialized memory - due to bad code for fix of bug #272. + +Program yaz-client now exits and produces an error message if multiple +Z39.50 servers are specified on the command line (none or one allowed +only). + +Program yaz-marcdump skips garbage bytes between ISO2709 records rather +than abort. + +--- 2.1.2 2005/03/16 + +Fixed bug #273: Update for recent MARC-8 -> UNICODE changes. + +Fixed bug #272: Preserve spacing for CCL terms. + +--- 2.1.0 2005/03/14 + +Added support for virtual hosts and multiple backend servers for +the YAZ frontend server. The configution is XML based and +support specificition of CQL to RPN mappings and explain information. +See section "Virtual Hosts" in the YAZ manual. + +Extended OPAC display utility. OPAC display utility renders +bibliographic (MARC) record as well. Added yaz_opac_decode_wrbuf +to supplement yaz_marc_decode_wrbuf. + +Fixed a bug in MARC decoder that could caused it to crash for some +invalid MARC records. More diagnostics and warnings where added in +XML output (warnings, etc are stored in comments). + +--- 2.0.34 2005/02/08 + +Fixes for UNIX domain sockets. Bug #261. + +Fixes for MARC-8 to UTF-8 conversion. Bugs #258 and #260. + +Fixed bug #263: YAZ MARCXML dump shows extra spaces after control fields. +Added yaz_marc_subfield_str which defines subfield lead string which is +used in YAZ_MARC_LINE format. Default string is blank+$. Added +yaz_marc_endline_str which defines end of fields string used in +YAZ_MARC_LINE format. Default string is newline. + +Experimental support for MarcXChange. This format can be produced +by yaz-marcdump and is implemented in yaz_marc_decode - functions. + http://www.bs.dk/standards/MarcXchange.xsd Added yaz-client commands scansize that sets maximum number of entries to be returned by scan.
