1 Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
4 - Liberalise hostname validation regexp, so that hyphens are
6 - Add Search::Bath to Search::Main test.
7 - Assess reliability on the basis of the last sixty days only.
8 - Test for simple access-point-only searches when Bath-profile
10 - Introduce the notion of rules, which are applied under
11 specified conditions resulting in specified actions. As a
12 motivating example, when working on a server with an
13 implementation name (or ID or version) matching a specified
14 regular expression, skip a named test: this is used to avoid
15 having the test of catalog.dallaslibrary.org:210/PAC hang
16 when we attempt to test its CQL capabilities.
17 - Sample rules file etc/dallas.rules
18 - The Web UI sets $ZOOM::IRSpy::xslt_max_depth to 3500, just
19 like the overnight test-script. This is a hideous hack to
20 cope with the fact that XSLT can't iterate, and explodes if
21 you ask it to recurse across a list of more than a half
23 - New script bin/irspy-xpath.pl -- a simple wrapper for
24 running an XPath with IRSpy-related namespaces established.
25 - Record::Fetch test registers a fail when the syntax actually
26 retrieved does not match that requested. Fixes bug IR-324.
27 - Record::OPAC test check that record returned in piggyback
28 after OPAC-record request really is an OPAC record. Fixes
30 - Add new test, Record::PiggyBack, with support for viewing,
31 editing and storing results. Fixes bug IR-333.
32 - IDs used in URLs for full-record links are properly
33 CQL-quoted. Fixes part of IR-303.
34 - Move aside the old, unused lib/ZOOM/Pod.pm. Will be removed
35 from distribution entirely in a subsequent release.
36 - Support new "irspy_data" log-level to register information
37 written to target description record.
38 - need a nagios alert script to check irspy updates, IR-336
40 1.02 Wed Jul 7 16:43:36 BST 2010
41 - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
42 address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
43 - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
44 targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
46 - Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
47 restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
48 test one seventh of the targets each night.
49 - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
50 be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
51 rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
52 - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
53 multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
54 Test result is saved in the new element
55 <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
56 - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
57 respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
58 the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
59 for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
60 - The web UI displays this new information in full-record
62 - A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
63 setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can
64 be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for
65 omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
66 - Improve input validation for new targets.
67 - New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
69 - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
70 - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
71 if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
72 up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
73 complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
75 - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
76 you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
77 response was in lowercase "usmarc".
78 - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
79 - Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
80 the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
81 package in the Macports collection.
82 - _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for
83 comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
85 - Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
86 record-syntax support using the wrong
87 preferredRecordSyntax.
88 - Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
89 failure. Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
90 - irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
91 - Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
92 - robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.
94 1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
95 - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
96 accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
97 to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
98 way to know that the person editing a record is the same
99 person who first added it.
100 - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
101 guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
102 - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
103 record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.

106 - First public release.

110 - Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
111 - Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
112 list of targets beginning with "R".
113 - Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
114 space-separated string.
115 - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
116 target IDs even if they contain spaces.
117 - Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters.
118 - Proper HTML-quoting of all output.
119 - Capture YAZ logging output for web display.
120 - Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration.
121 - Much better "Add a target" form, including:
123 - URL to hosting organisation
124 - Email to technical contact
125 - Username/password if needed
126 - Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate,
127 Special, National, Education or Other)
129 - "Add another database to this target" button.
130 - Form for editing details of an existing target.
131 - Require authentication for database-changing operations
132 such as target testing, adding a new target and
133 editing and existing one.
134 - Add statistics page like that one at
135 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
136 - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
137 ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
138 - Many, many more enhancements.
