1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
3 Oleg Kolobov Fixed a bug in yaz_iconv regarding conversion to
6 Update CQL parser to use new CQL 1.1 modifiers for booleans and
13 Another fix for decoding of XML packed records.
17 Fixes for Chunked encoding. White space not ignored after length spec.
19 Update NS and use default NS for SRW diagnostic elements.
23 Implement ZOOM_resultset_cache_reset which resets record cache.
25 Implement ZOOM_resultset_sort which sorts a result set.
27 Implement chunked HTTP transfer.
29 For SSL, use -lssl -lcrypto on systems that don't have pkg-config.
33 Added member 'schema' to bend_explain_rr structure so that backend
34 can specify explain record identifier. Defaults to Zeerex 2.0.
36 Fix encoding of OID's of form 1.0.X. Bug introduced in 2.0.11.
40 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates: updated diagnostic in srw.h to use uri instead
43 Added init command for yaz-client which sends "extra" init request.
45 Fixed two bugs in OID codec - ber_oidc. Throw error when encoding/decoding
46 bad truncated OID. Fix decoding of OID X.Y... when X=2 and Y>39.
48 Fixed a bug in ASN.1 compiler that caused Type-1 Operator codec to fail.
50 Make ZOOM error code for "invalid query".
52 Fixed compilation for SSL which wasn't properly enabled for all platforms.
56 For yaz.m4, allow second argument for YAZ_INIT to hold minimal version of
59 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates. Diagnostic code now a URI.
61 Added option -p <file> to make Generic Frontend Server to write PID file.
63 Added option -D to put Generic Frontend Server in background on its own.
65 Make ZOOM C recognize option "password". If unset, "pass" is used
66 (for backwards compatibility).
68 Fixed a bug in Generic Frontend Server that could make it crash if a
69 client sets characterSetNegotation bit, but didn't pass negotiation stuff
72 New YAZ client command, zversion, that sets Z39.50 version (1,2,3..).
73 Must be issued before open, in order to be in effect.
75 --- 2.0.9-6 2004/01/12 Debian/Windows
77 Make the SRU server more picky WRT unknown params, etc.
79 Bug fix: ZOOM scan response didn't return displayTerm - when present.
81 New YAZ client command, options, that sets Z39.50 options.
83 New utility functions yaz_init_opt_{encode,decode} to encode/decode Z39.50
84 options from a string of tokens (one token for each option bit).
86 Update SRW diagnostic code messages.
88 --- 2.0.9-5 2004/01/07 Debian/Windows
90 Handle user defined stylesheet for SRW/SRU.
92 --- 2.0.9-4 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
94 Fix bug in decoding of Content-Length.
96 --- 2.0.9-3 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
98 Fix a bug with decoding of XML packed records.
100 --- 2.0.9-2 2004/01/05 Debian only
102 Allow empty ODR (NMEM=0) for odr_oiddup and odr_getoidbystr.
104 Fix bug in SRW/SRU diagnostics decoding.
108 Fixed bug in Generic Frontend Server which could drop records exceeding
109 preferred message size. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
111 Fixed calculation of package size for structured records in Generic
112 Frontend Server. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
114 Fixed namespace for SRW/SRU diagnostics.
116 Fixed SEGV in yaz-client that occured for HTTP connection errors.
120 * SRW/SRU 1.1. Since the Namespace has changed for SRW/SRU, it means that
121 this version is incompatible with version 1.0 and older YAZ SRW/SRU
124 CQL changes to reflect recent changes to the specification:
125 * Documentation talks about context sets instead of index sets.
126 * Documentation talks about indexes instead of qualifiers.
127 * The CQL-to-PQF transformer's configuration file now uses
128 "index.set.name = <attributes>" instead of the old form
129 "qualifier.set.name = <attributes>". (Both forms are still
130 understood but the latter is deprecated.)
131 * CQL terms with no explicit index specified are now interpreted as
132 cql.serverChoice instead of srw.serverChoice (which of course
133 behaves exactly the same.)
137 MARC conversion can now generate ISO2709 output in another
138 character set. yaz-marcdump uses this facility if you invoke it
141 Added missing C decl macros for include/yaz/{soap.h,srw.h,cql.h}, so that
142 functions from there can be used from C++.
146 Frontend server now transfers memory from decoded packages to stream
149 NMEM now clears freed blocks with 'Y' (hex 59) to force bad memory
150 references to show up.
152 ZOOM-C now supports standard ZOOM option names as described in v1.4 of
153 the ZOOM Abstract API. The older names for the same options are still
154 also supported for the benefit of old applications.
156 ZOOM-C supports "implementationId" and "implementationVersion" options
157 to go along with "implementationName". These allow the user code to
158 specify identification strings to be sent to servers.
159 Add OID for the new ExtLite attribute set.
161 Add OIDs for NACSIS-CATP, FINMARC2000 and MARC21-fin record-syntaxes,
162 as requested/supplid by Ere Maijala <ere@atp.fi>
164 For generic frontend server, reverse the order of
165 "toolkit-supplied / application-supplied" strings sent as implementationId,
166 Name and Version. Also, remove the spaces around the slash. This brings
167 the GFS in line with the behaviour of ZOOM-C on the client side.
169 Add function ZOOM_scanset_display_term.
171 yaz-client shows scan displayTerm if present.
173 Utility yaz-iconv is now installed by default along with the man page
176 Extend configure check for OpenSSL to use pkg-config where available (such
179 Incorporate patch by Morten Bogeskov which allows a Unix file socket
180 server to specify uid/gid/mask for socket using the format
181 unix:[user=uid,][group=gid,][umask=mask,]file=path
182 If file= is omitted the existing format is assumed, e.g.
184 in which case the mask is 0666 (rw for everybody).
186 Major restructure of YAZ source. All source in libyaz is in src directory.
187 Programs in client (yaz-client), ztest (yaz-ztest), zoom (zoom programs),
188 util (utility programs such as ASN.1 compiler, yaz-marcdump).
190 Added man page for utility yaz-marcdump (used to be called marcdump).
191 yaz-marcdump is installed by 'make install'.
193 Fixed a memory leak in Generic Frontend Server that occurred when decoding
194 of incoming package failed.
196 Fixed a potential DOS attack vulnerability in COMSTACK/ODR.
198 Change prototype of odr_perror: add const to message string.
200 New function yaz_log_reopen which reopens log file (for log rotate, etc.)
202 * Blocking parameter for COMSTACK cs_create is now a bit mask rather
203 than a blocking flag. Bit 0 is set for blocking, reset for non-blocking.
204 Bit 1 is set if cs_addrstr should avoid DNS lookup; reset for full
205 DNS lookup. There should not be any compatibility problems with this
206 assuming that blocking=1 or 0 is used.
208 Fix bad reference in UNIX comstack in function cs_addrstr.
210 Fix for compilation on AIX.
212 The generic front-end server (server/seshigh.c) now supports returning
213 Init diagnostics to the client in User-information-field, in
214 accordance with Z35.90 Implementor Agreement 5 (Returning diagnostics
219 Allow any CQL relation (not just all,any,exact,scr).
221 Fixes for OCLC UI ASN.1 to make it work with SilverPlatter targets
222 that features the same UI.
224 Implemented command update0 in YAZ client which is equivalent to
225 update but uses old of Ext Update ASN.1.
227 Use OID 1.2.840.10003.15.1000.81.1 for privately defined charsets
228 in charset negotiation. Added VAL_ID_CHARSET in oid.h.
229 Previously no OID was used for this info.
231 ZOOM uses smallSetUpperBound=1 instead of 0 for piggyback searches.
232 It apparantely upsets EBSCO Publishing IR Z39.50 Server which
233 returns 'malformed search term' otherwise.
235 SortResponse member resultCount now set to NULL in sort handler of
238 OPAC support ZOOM. ZOOM_record_get returns OPAC info (as XML) if
241 Add three new utility functions for translating OIDs between various
242 formats -- symbolic name such as "Usmarc", minus-1-terminated int
243 arrays and dotted strings such as "1.2.840.10003.9.5.1":
244 int *oid_name_to_oid(oid_class oclass, const char *name, int *oid);
245 char *oid_to_dotstring(const int *oid, char *oidbuf);
246 char *oid_name_to_dotstring(oid_class oclass, const char *name, char *oidbuf);
248 Reverted modifications for ES Update definition for z_IU0Update
249 (OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and 1.2.840.10003.9.5). The definition
250 is back to YAZ 2.0.2.
252 String value attributes for CCL parser.
254 Support for OCLC's locally registered "OCLC-UserInformation" PDU,
255 which their FirstSearch server returns in Init responses, sometimes
256 carrying useful diagnostic information when Init fails. This has the
257 OID 1.2.840.10003.10.1000.17.1 and is defined in the file
258 "z39.50/oclcui.asn", where its definition is somewhat different from
259 what OCLC document on their web-site, as required to interoperate with
262 Support for anonymous authentication in yaz-client. Use the command
265 * Fix the OID of the Index Data-local "admin" Extended Service from
266 1.2.840.10003.9.81.1 to 1.2.840.10003.9.1000.81.1. The omission of
267 the 1000, which indicates a locally-defined OID, was a mistake.
271 Fix CCL directive @case handling so that it affects string match for
272 both CCL keywords and qualifiers.
274 * ESFormat-Update updates. Packages with OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and
275 1.2.840.10003.9.5 are now handled by the same decoder z_IU0Update .
276 Decoder has been updated with ASN.1 changes as listed in
277 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/updateES.html
278 Note that the "latest" DB Update, OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1.1 , handler
279 z_IUUpdate, remains unchanged.
281 ZOOM_record_get may now return a record in a specific character set.
282 For type use "form; charset=from[,to]" where form (render, xml, ..) ,
283 "from" is the character set of record as returned by target. "to" is
284 the character set to be returned. If omitted, "to" is UTF-8.
286 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed from yaz-comp to yaz-asncomp
288 New ODR utility, odr_getelement, which returns name of element for
289 which encoding/decoding failed.
291 Fixed ODR so that it returns error code OREQUIRED rather than ONONE
292 in cases where a required element was omitted.
294 Bug fix: some MARC8 sequences were not converted.
296 New ZOOM option "step" which specifies number of records to be
297 retrieved in one chunk. Used in conjunction with "start" and "count".
299 SRW support for yaz-client. Use scheme http: to use it, e.g.
302 yaz-client no longer does (un)intelligent character set conversions
303 by default. Can be enabled with charset and marc_charset commands.
305 xmalloc trace fix for 64-bit systems such as DEC alpha.
307 Solaris 2.6 compile fix.
309 New function, cql_strerror() translates SRW error codes, as returned
310 by cql_transform_error(), into human-readable English strings. Used
311 in yaz-client diagnostics when appropriate.
313 New CQL2RPN query-type for the command-line yaz-client, parses CQL and
314 converts it into a type-1 query which is sent to the server. This
315 makes CQL available for use with all Z-servers, as opposed to the tiny
316 minority that can handle CQL queries themselves.
320 New Debian package layout similar to the Redhat Package layout.
322 New ZOOM events ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_{RECORD,SEARCH} for receiving a record
323 and search result respectively.
327 Redhat package is now several packages: libyaz (runtime libraries),
328 libyaz-devel (development and documentation, and yaz (utility programs).
329 Package spec file by Morten Bøgeskov.
331 New member 'schema' in struct bend_fetch_rr which the name of requested
332 schema (SRW/SRU) for record (or NULL if none was given). The fetch
333 handler MAY set this to reflect the schema of the returned record.
335 New member 'display_term' in struct scan_entry. GFS now sets member entries
336 and allocates scan entries to be filled by user scan handler. In previous
337 version, entries member was allocated by the scan handler. That still works,
338 but the GFS will ignore member display_term - assuming it was NOT set by
339 the handler. The fact that the GFS now allocates the entries both allows
340 for new members and makes a scan handler easier to write.
342 Fix CQL lex buffer overflow.
344 SRW/SRU recordPacking. For SRW default recordPacking is string. For
345 SRU default recordPacking is string.
347 SRU protocol support for frontend server.
349 Fix compile bug for systems that have nl_langinfo but CODESET undefined.
351 Added missing PQF transform rules for <= and >= . Thanks to Peter Popovics.
353 Added scan for the ZOOM shell (zoomsh).
357 * String Identifers for Schemas (Amendment 5).
358 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am5.html
359 Old definition for schema
360 Odr_oid *schema; /* OPT */
365 Z_InternationalString *uri;
366 #define Z_Schema_oid 1
367 #define Z_Schema_uri 2
370 * resultCount parameter to Sort Response (Amendment 1).
371 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am1.html
373 Support for SRW 1.0 over HTTP. This is an optional feature and
374 requires libxml2 to operate. Enable SOAP by specifying --with-xml2
377 Generic frontend server supports HTTP/SOAP/SRW and Z39.50/BER
378 on the same port. SRW SearchRetrieveRequests are mapped
379 to bend_init,bend_search,bend_fetch,bend_close.
381 Z39.50 Query Type-104 added - to facilitate CQL within Z39.50.
383 CQL support. Source is directory 'cql'. CQL is supported in ZOOM
384 (both SRW and Z39.50) and the YAZ client (Z39.50 only).
386 ZOOM connections are SRW based if schem http is used for hostname
387 in connect, e.g. z = ZOOM_connection_new("http://myserver");
388 ZOOM_query may be of type CQL, e.g. ZOOM_query_cql(q, "dc.title=x");
390 CCL proximity operators !n, %n converts to PQF @prox 0 n 1 2 k 2
391 and @prox 0 n 0 1 k 2 respectively, meaning: exlusion=false,
392 distance=n, order=true/false, relation=le, prox unit=word. If
393 n is omitted, distance 1 is used.
395 Fixed problem with C compiler include path in wrong order.
397 For TCP/IP COMSTACK, set recv buffer to an appropriate "large" value
398 on Solaris. Patch from Ko van der Sloot.
400 New MARC decode API. All new functions operate on a yaz_marc_t
401 handle. The most important new functions are: yaz_marc_create,
402 yaz_marc_decode_{buf,wrbuf}, yaz_marc_destroy, .. to create handler,
403 decode and destroy respectively. Decoder can produce formats
404 MARC line, simple XML, OAI MARC and MARC XML (LoC). See
405 include/yaz/marcdisp.h.
407 YAZ Iconv utility now supports MARC8 decoding (marc8.c). Converts
408 to UTF-8, UCS-32, wchar_t or Latin-1.
410 * Prototypes for yaz_iconv_-functions moved to separate header
411 include/yaz/yaz-iconv.h.
413 Make a few private functions 'static' in unix.c. This prevents
414 duplicate unix_close in PHP with YAZ and imap. PHP Bug 20977.
416 For ZOOM connection, the options targetImplementation{Id,Name,Version}
417 are set when Init Response is received.
419 New function ZOOM_connection_error_x similar to ZOOM_connection_error
420 but returns diagnostic set as well.
422 New function yaz_strerror which is a portable wrapper for
423 strerror/strerror_r/GetLastMessage.
425 * ZOOM_record_get supports type "xml" in which case MARC XML (from LOC)
426 is returned for MARC. If type is "oai", then OAI MARC is returned.
428 Fix creation of lib/yaz-config so it works if srcdir != objdir. Patch
433 yaz_marc_decode uses OAI MARC as XML format for ISO2709 records.
435 Fix bad race conditions on SIGTERM and terminate gracefully in
438 Move retrieval (data1) module to Zebra since nobody seems to be
441 Add GRS-1 render for ZOOM using same format as yaz-client.
445 Added man pages: yaz-client(1), yaz-ztest(8), yaz(7), zoomsh(1).
447 Fix broken ESpec handling in data1 module.
449 SGML reader parses comments and makes them part of the data1 tree.
451 Added several type casts so that YAZ compiles as C++ code.
453 ZOOM didn't handle PDU encoding failures properly.
455 Added more Bib-1 diagnostics (approved extensions).
457 GNU configure: better check for iconv.
459 More portable use of accept, getpeername. Check for socklen_t. Use
460 int/size_t if socklen_t is not defined.
464 PQF parser rejects bad queries - including those with extra
465 characters in them. PQF parser used to silently ignore that.
466 Cleaner API for PQF added, which allows you to get detailed
467 error information for bad queries (see yaz/pquery.h).
469 Fixed bug in ZOOM_record_get for type "database".
471 Implemented mini iconv library supporting conversions between
472 UTF-8, UCS4, UCS4LE and ISO-8859-1. Implemented in util/siconv.c.
474 * Removed XML reader (d1_expat.c). It's part of Zebra instead.
478 Fixed ZOOM C record cache so that preferredRecordSyntax and
479 elementSetName is used to check for already fetched records.
483 Added three members in bend_initrequest structure to facilitate
484 character set negotiation.
486 Fixed a bug in frontend server that could cause indefinite
487 loops under rare conditions.
489 Revised character set utilities (charneg.h) so that encoding
490 UCS-4, UCSA-4, UTF-16 and UTF-8 are encoded non-privately.
492 For PQF, directive @term <type> sets term type for Scan/Search.
493 Here <type> is general, string, numeric, null. The term type
494 is inherited - just like @attr.
496 New call odr_set_charset that sets character set conversion for
497 international-strings on a ODR stream. Prototype is:
498 int odr_set_charset(ODR o, const char *to, const char *from);
499 The InternationalString is still represented as C string in YAZ
500 so native strings of type UTF-8, ASCII, etc. will work (UTF-16
501 won't). On the protocol level, you can use any encoding.
503 Support for UNIX sockets in ZOOM.
505 Solaris recv sometimes returns errno == ENOENT. It is treated as
506 EINPROGRESS. COMSTACK patch by Ko van der Sloot.
508 New COMSTACK of type UNIX Socket. Use "unix:/path" as address for
509 both client and server. Code by Morten Bøgeskov.
513 On Windows ZOOM functions are of type __stdcall rather than __cdecl, so
514 that they can be used directly from Visual Basic. You must recompile
515 your windows APP if you're using ZOOM.
517 Character Set and Language Negotiation(3) for ZOOM API and YAZ client.
518 Commands "lang" and "charset" sets language and character set respectively.
519 Options "lang" and "charset" is interpreted by the ZOOM API. Note, these
520 are not part of the official ZOOM spec) All is due to Oleg Kolobov.
522 Attributes from multiple CCL fields may be OR'ed rather than merged
523 using directive "@field or". Fields are still merged by default -
524 equivalent to "@field merge".
526 Fixed bug in ZOOM connect that occurred on OpenBSD (maybe others). Patch
529 Fixed bug in zget for parameter ExtendedServicesResponse.
535 Added PQF feature: '@attr type=value' may be written as '@type=value'.
537 Client displays USR.1:SearchResult-1 (hits per term).
539 Additional Search Info for search in Generic Frontend Server.
541 Fixed CCL parsing of "field=s".
543 WIN32 installer - using the excellent NSIS software from nullsoft.
545 Fixed CCL parsing of "field = - <number>".
547 Added function yaz_marc_decode that decodes MARC for line mode
548 display or XML (similar to that used by JZKit).
550 Fixed BER decoding of OPTIONAL CHOICE. The bug didn't affect the
551 Z39.50. But ISO/ILL was, however.
553 Added patch by Rustam T. Usmanov that implements Z39.50 duplicate
554 detection service (Z39.50-1995 Amendment 2) and Language Negotiation (3).
556 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am2.html
557 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/charneg-3.html
561 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
562 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
563 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
565 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
567 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
568 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
570 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
571 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
572 is user, group and password.
574 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
576 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
577 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
578 server and yaz-ztest.
580 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
582 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
584 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
585 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
587 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
590 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
591 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
593 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
595 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
596 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
598 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
602 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
603 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
604 ZOOM_scanset_destroy.
606 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
607 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
610 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies schema for retrieval.
612 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
613 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
615 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
617 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
618 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
621 Working on Debian packages.
625 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
627 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
629 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
630 with key="host" to get same result.
632 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
633 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
634 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
636 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
641 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
643 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
645 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
646 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
647 were changed to size_t.
649 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
652 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
653 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
657 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
661 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
663 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
665 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
667 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
669 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
671 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
673 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
674 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
676 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
677 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
679 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
680 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
682 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
683 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
684 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
686 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
688 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
689 waitIfPossible (was wait).
691 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
694 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
695 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
697 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
699 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
700 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
702 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
704 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
706 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
707 set was specified for scan.
709 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
710 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
713 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
714 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
715 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
717 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
718 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
719 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
720 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
723 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
724 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
725 address. Only tested on UNIX.
727 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
728 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
732 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
733 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
734 (such as other PHP extensions).
736 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
737 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
739 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
740 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
742 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
744 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
745 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
746 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
747 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
748 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
749 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
750 thing a single DLL/SO.
752 Added Segment handler for backend server.
754 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
756 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
757 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
761 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
762 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
763 located in sub directory asn.
765 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
766 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
769 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
773 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
774 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
777 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
781 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
782 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
783 (default is /usr/local).
785 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
786 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
787 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
789 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
790 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
791 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
792 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
793 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
794 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
795 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
796 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
798 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
799 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
800 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
803 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
804 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
805 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
808 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
809 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
810 a service is started/stopped.
812 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
813 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
814 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
815 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
816 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
817 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
818 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
819 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
820 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
821 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
824 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
825 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
827 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
828 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
829 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
830 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
831 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
832 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
833 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
834 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
836 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
837 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
838 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
839 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
840 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
842 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
843 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
845 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
846 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
848 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
850 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
852 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
853 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
855 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
856 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
857 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
858 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
859 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
860 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
861 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
862 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
863 will support both versions.
865 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
866 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
867 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
869 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
870 contain positionOfTerm.
872 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
873 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
874 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
876 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
877 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
878 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
879 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
880 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
883 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
884 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
885 in include/backend.h.
887 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
888 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
889 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
892 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
893 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
894 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
896 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
898 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
899 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
901 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
902 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
904 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
905 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
908 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
910 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
911 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
912 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
914 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
916 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
918 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
920 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
922 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
923 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
925 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
926 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
927 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
930 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
931 parent wasn't initialised.
933 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
934 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
935 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
937 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
939 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
940 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
941 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
942 using Odr_arm - as in:
943 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
945 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
947 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
948 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
949 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
951 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
953 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
955 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
956 the following requests.
958 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
959 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
962 * Changed interface for sort in server.
964 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
965 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
966 to Charles Woodfield.
968 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
969 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
971 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
972 and date/time-last-modified.
976 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
977 was introduced by release 1.4.
981 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
983 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
985 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
988 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
989 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
990 of the use of this feature.
992 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
993 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
995 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
996 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
998 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
999 of - group of elements.
1001 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
1003 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
1006 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
1008 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
1009 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
1010 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
1012 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
1013 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
1015 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
1017 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
1021 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
1023 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
1024 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
1026 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
1027 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
1028 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
1029 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
1030 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
1031 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
1034 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
1035 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
1037 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
1040 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
1041 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
1042 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
1043 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
1044 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
1046 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
1047 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
1048 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
1050 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
1051 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
1054 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
1055 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
1056 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
1057 This function is thread safe.
1059 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
1060 in 'server' directory.
1062 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
1064 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
1065 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
1067 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
1069 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
1071 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
1073 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
1074 release of RPN structure.
1076 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
1077 With input from RVDM.
1079 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
1080 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
1082 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
1084 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
1085 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
1087 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
1089 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
1091 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
1093 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
1095 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
1099 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
1101 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
1103 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
1105 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
1107 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
1109 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
1111 Added Update extended service.
1113 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
1115 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
1118 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
1120 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
1122 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
1124 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
1126 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
1128 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
1130 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
1132 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
1134 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
1136 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
1137 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
1139 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
1141 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
1143 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
1145 --- 1.1pl2 1996/4/10
1147 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
1151 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
1152 endpoints in dynamic mode.
1154 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
1155 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
1157 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
1158 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
1159 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
1161 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
1163 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
1164 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
1167 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
1168 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
1170 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
1171 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
1173 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
1174 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
1176 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
1179 --- 1.0pl4 1996/1/24
1183 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
1184 the rank and record number.
1186 Adjustments to the frontend server.
1188 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
1192 Various changes to retrieval module.
1194 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
1195 ints paired with #defines.
1197 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
1200 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
1203 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
1205 --- 1.0pl2 1995/12/6
1207 Memory bug in log module fixed.
1209 --- 1.0pl1 1995/12/5
1211 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
1213 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
1215 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
1219 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
1220 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
1221 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
1222 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
1224 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
1226 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
1228 Added Espec-1 format.
1230 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
1231 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
1232 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
1234 Demo client can request simple element set names.
1236 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
1238 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
1239 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
1241 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
1243 --- 1.0b3 1995/08/24
1245 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
1246 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
1247 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
1249 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
1250 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
1253 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
1255 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
1256 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
1257 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
1259 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
1262 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
1263 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
1265 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
1266 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
1268 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
1269 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
1270 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
1271 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
1272 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
1274 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
1275 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
1277 --- 1.0b2 1995/06/27
1278 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
1280 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
1282 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
1283 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
1284 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
1285 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
1286 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
1287 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
1288 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
1289 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
1291 Documentation updated accordingly.
1293 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
1297 First public release.
