3 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::SimpleServer
6 - Better support for Open and User/Password authentication.
7 - SimpleServer.xs's rpn2pquery() is now discarded, and YAZ's
8 yaz_rpnquery_to_wrbuf() used instead. This is more robust
9 in dealing with unusual cases such as string-valued
12 1.01 Fri Mar 24 12:09:32 GMT 2006
13 - Documentation of release 1.00's SRU/SRW facilities.
14 - Makefile.PL now fails if YAZ version is earlier than 2.0.0,
15 which was the first with SRU/SRW support.
17 1.00 Fri Mar 24 01:20:24 GMT 2006
18 - Support for SRU and SRW. Mostly this is provided by the YAZ
19 GFS, but changes are needed to allow for the case where
20 there is no RPN query (due to absent on invalid <cql2rpn>
21 element in GFS configuration) so that CQL is passed through
22 natively; and also to fake up an {REQ_FORM} and {REP_FORM}
23 parameters set to the "text/xml" OID when this information
24 is not specified by the GFS.
25 (The jump in version number is due to the SRU/W support.)
26 - Include "logging-server.pl" in the distribution: the
27 simplest possible SimpleServer application, which merely
28 logs the client-request data structures.
29 - Makefile.PL is more helpful if yaz-config isn't found.
30 - Explicitly disable prototypes in SimpleServer.xs: makes no
31 difference but suppresses an error message for a cleaner
34 0.08 Mon Jun 14 14:51:01 2004
35 - SimpleServer is now perl 5.8 thread proof
36 - Support for IMP_ID parameter in Init responses. This was
37 actually written a long time ago, but left commented out as
38 the underlying YAZ back-end server didn't support
39 implementation-ID setting. Now that it does (and has done
40 for eighteen months -- since YAZ release 1.8.6 of
41 2002/03/25!), I've finally removed the comments.
42 - Init handler now understands the setting of {ERR_CODE} as
43 more than a boolean success indicator, and also {ERR_STR}.
44 They are now passed back to the client (thanks to recent
45 changes to the YAZ generic front-end server) in accordance
46 with Z39.50 Implementor Agreement 5, found at
47 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/agree/initdiag.html
49 0.07 Fri Jan 03 10:12:15 2003
50 - Applied Dave Mitchell's (davem@fdgroup.com) GRS-1 parsing patch.
51 Thanks Dave, and sorry it didn't find its way to release 0.06,
54 0.06 Thu Jan 02 11:15:01 2003
55 - Added support for authentication
56 - Add documentation for the object tree passed as the RPN
57 member of the search-handler's argument hash.
58 - We actually removed the vacuous Changelog and TODO files
59 back in 0.05. They should never have been here :-)
61 0.05 Tue Feb 05 21:54:30 2002
62 - Add brief documentation of the new handling
65 0.04 Tue Feb 05 21:49:56 2002
66 - Add Changelog (### Why? We already have this file!)
67 - Add TODO file (although it's empty!)
68 - Change interface to constructor, and fix test.pl script to
69 use the new interface.
70 - Add support for Scan.
71 - Add support for building GRS-1 records.
72 - Add grs_test.pl test suite for new GRS-1 code.
73 - Add RPN structure to search-handler argument hash.
74 - Add PID element to init, search, fetch and present-handler
75 argument hashes (but not the sort, scan and close-handlers,
77 - Fix typos in documentation.
79 0.03 Thu Nov 09 16:22:00 2000
80 - Add the INSTALL file.
81 - Add support for a present-handler (distinct from fetch).
82 - Remove `$args->{LEN} = length($record)' from the example
83 fetch-handler in the documentation.
84 - Minor corrections to documentation, e.g. add commas after
85 elements in anonymous hash of arguments.
86 - Record syntaxes (formats) are now specified as ASCII OIDs
87 (e.g. "1.2.840.10003.5.10") rather than human-readable
88 strings (e.g. "usmarc")
89 - Add some XS code to support sorting, though it doesn't seem
90 to be finished yet, and is not wired out.
91 - Use symbolic constants (e.g. Z_ElementSetNames_generic
92 instead of hard-wired magic number 1).
93 - Add PEER_NAME element to init-handler argument hash.
94 - Minor changes to ztest.pl.
