Patch by Ere Maijala. + +--- 1.3.2 2008/02/29 + +Added option -D for yazproxy which puts yazproxy in background after +startup. + +Fixed bug #2060: Killing yazproxy parent does not kill the child as well. + +--- 1.3.1 2007/12/27 + +Fixed bug #1989: For PQF SRU one char is stipped off query. + +Fixed bug #1821: Wrong order of include directories for compiling. + +Allow EXSLT to be used if it's available. + +--- 1.3.0 2007/05/09 + +Debian packages libyazproxy2, libyazproxy2-dev.

By default, no threading +is used which happen to be value 0. Modules will still work but they will +be blocking. + +--- 1.2.1 2006/05/01 + +Fixed problem with log of session ID when HTTP fowarded was in effect. + +Fixed a problem with negative numbers in present requests. + +Allow client-ip to be logged for each log entry. Specify +client-ip in the configuration. + +Added support for limiting the number of initiating connections from +a single IP. limit-connect specifies a limit and if that is reached a +delay is introduced (just as limit-pdu, etc). Also added a new setting +max-connect; if that max value is reached for a single IP the proxy +will terminate the initiating session/connection immediately. + +New directive default-client-charset which serves as charset to be +negotiated if client does NOT supports one. + +Added support for threaded authentication modules. See +etc/config-modules.xml + mod_sample.cpp for an example. + +Added support for Z39.50 character set negotiation. This allows the +proxy to act as a Z39.50 server supporting character set negotiation +for backends not supporting it. New config element target-charset +specifies encoding for target, and MUST be specified in order for +any conversion to take place. Conversion also takes place for SRW/SRU +clients that are negotiate implicitly to UTF-8. + +--- 1.0.1 2005/05/27 + +Fixed bug #355: Yaz proxy does not seem to load balance. + +--- 1.0 2005/03/14 + +Added Support OPAC to XML conversion. Triggered by backendtype="opac" +and marcxml="1" in syntax sections. See etc/voyager.xml for example. + +Option -X now makes it possible to stop YAZ proxy by sending +"stop" as PROXY target (in init). This used to be debug code in a +#if 0 .. #endif section. + +Moved a lot of "private" stuff to proxyp.h so that only Yaz_Proxy +is publicly defined in include/yazproxy/proxy.h. + +Authentication info sent to target modified. Element renamed from +"authentication" to "target-authentication" to avoid confusion with +client authentication. It now takes an authentication +type=open|idPass|anonymous . Value is user:group:password for idPass, +user/pass for open. Option -U auth is no longer supported. + +Update YAZ Proxy config schema yazproxy.xsd to include definitions +for new elements negotation-charset, negotiation-lang, module, etc. . +Bump version to 0.9. + +Started work on facility for module loading (plugins). Initial +effort is to be able to authenticate via a module. See mod_sample.cpp. + +YAZ Proxy involved in Character Set and Language Negotiation. Added +support for client's side negotiation record (high priority). Added +support for new elements of YAZ Proxy config file - negotiation-charset, +negotiation-lang for parent element target. + +--- 0.9 2005/02/07 + +YAZ Proxy may use USEMARCON to convert between various MARC +formats. Use --with-usemarcon to specify Usemarcon location. +See config-mafi2ma.xml for an example configuration. +Requires USEMARCON 1.5, which can be fetched from: + http://www.bl.uk/services/bibliographic/usemarcon.html + +Added support for XInclude for configuration file(s) so that +configuration can be partitioned in multiple files. + +Fixed bug #189: Bad authenticated session transfer. + +New config element "authentication" which specifies authentication +(Open v2/v3 Z39.50) to be used for backend. + +New config attribute "backendcharset" for syntax element which specifies +charset (encoding) for record that is returned by backend. If omitted +the proxy assumes backend record encoding is MARC-8 (for backwards +compatibility). + +New config attribute "backendtype" for syntax element which specifies record syntax to be transmitted to backend. This allows proxy to offer a record syntax different from that offered by backend.
