Option "sru" specifies +which mode to use; one of "post", "get" or "soap" (SRW, default). + +Fixed bug in character set conversion yaz_iconv. Some three byte UTF-8 +sequences where not read correctly. Fix by Rustam Usmanov. + +Updates to win/makefile which makes things compile happily 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
