1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
3 Added yaz-client commands scansize that sets maximum number of
4 entries to be returned by scan.
8 Added support for SRW scan in yaz-client and Generic Frontend Server.
10 * Added whereInList member to SRW Scan Term.
12 * Changed Z_SRW_scanRequest to be able to carry both CCL and PQF.
14 Fixed NMEM system to return aligned blocks on the smallest boundaries
15 that are suitably aligned for all possible types on the particular
16 architecture YAZ is being built for.
20 Fixed numerious warnings that was issued with newer versions of GCC.
22 Fixed NMEM system to return aligned blocks on 8 byte boundaries rather
23 than 4 bytes, since 4 may not be enough on some systems such as GCC 3.4.3
26 Make YAZ Generic Frontend Server slightly faster.
28 Enhance (and reduce) logging for Generic Frontend Server.
30 Revert YAZ log system so that it flushes every write operation
31 by default. (YAZ 2.0.26 and earlier verisons did that). Bug #240.
33 Modified the YAZ logging system. The LOG level defines use YLOG_ prefix
34 instead of LOG_, due to name clash with syslog(3). LOG_ are still
35 present. New applications should define YAZ_USE_NEW_LOG=1 - this
36 will effectively disable old definitions.
40 Added yaz_log_time_format which specifies log format using
43 Added yaz_log_module_level which returns mask for a module. Value
44 is non-zero mask a if module is enabled; zero if disabled.
46 * Fixed bug #148: CQL parser may leak. A few prototypes were changed
49 Fixed bug #176: Dont throw diagnostics on empty SRU args.
51 Fixed bug #175: surrogate diagnostics in SRW lacking NS.
53 Fixed bug #172: RPM builds does not enable SSL.
55 Doxyfile.in part of dist. Doxyfile generated by configure.
57 Configure aborts if any of --with-xml2, --with-openssl, --enable-tcpd
58 are given and the corresponding component does not exist.
60 Extend CCL documentation in YAZ reference. Describe r=r.
64 Fixed MARC->MARCXML conversion to properly deal with
65 fields, subfields, indicators having non-ASCII characters.
67 Fixed MARC->MARCXML conversion so that ASCII control characters
68 except TAB,CR,LF are removed from resulting XML (XML 1.0 does not
71 Added YAZ GFS support for conversion from Z39.50 surrogate
72 diagnostics to SRW surrogate diagnostics.
74 Bug fix: YAZ GFS did not return schema in explainResponse.
78 The YAZ GFS when converting SRW/SRU requests to Z39.50 structures
79 now converts recordSchema to elementSetName as well as schema URI.
81 Fixed bug in COMSTACK that prevented HTTP request packages from being
86 Added CCL facility r=r "range" which is similar to r=o "ordered" but
87 does not require white-space before and after the dash in a range, e.g.
88 x=-1990 is equivalent to x <= 1990 iff r=r, but equivalent to x= -1980
91 Fixed a few AC_TRY_LINK configure tests that did not operate properly
92 due to new GCC removing "redundant" code.
94 Added yaz-client commands scanpos and scanstep that sets preferred
95 position and step-size for scan.
97 Macro YAZ_INIT in yaz.m4: option --with-yazconfig renamed to --with-yaz.
99 Added CCL utility ccl_qual_buf which parses one or more CCL
100 spec lines in a buffer.
102 Added CCL utility ccl_qual_line which adds CCL qualifier line consisting
103 of name and value - ignoring empty lines and comments.
105 On Windows, the debug DLL/import lib is now named yazd.{dll,lib}.
107 Added odr_get_element_path which returns current element path for an
108 ODR handle. This utility is useful in error handling or user-defined
111 Added ODR_PRINT utility odr_set_stream which is is a more generic
112 alternative to odr_setprint. odr_set_stream takes a stream handle, pointer
113 to a write function and pointer to close function. The close function - if
114 non-NULL - will be called during odr_destroy.
116 Fixed bug in CCL parser where truncation char was not removed from
117 right side when truncation=both was in effect.
119 Fixed CQL parser to use unsigned chars for isxxx from ctype.h due
122 --- 2.0.23 2004/08/11
124 Fix buffer overrun in CQL parser when dealing with proximity (%).
126 Fixes for MARC-8 in yaz_iconv character set utilies. The MARC-8
127 to UTF-8/UCS conversion is now only based on codetables.xml.
129 yaz_marc_decode_buf sets leader pos 9 to "a" for MARCXML output.
131 --- 2.0.22 2004/08/06
133 Add support for more "commit changes" in ZOOM (uses Extended Services).
135 For yaz-client, command set_marcdump <file> / -m <file> dumps SUTRS/XML/..
138 Yet another small fix for configure of SSL.
140 --- 2.0.21 2004/05/14
142 Fix SSL libs for configure when --with-openssl=DIR is given.
144 --- 2.0.20 2004/05/10
146 Add autoconf m4 macro YAZ_DOC for YAZ documentation setup (docbook).
148 SSL comstack now uses yaz.pem certificate file on server side
149 by default. Certificate filename can be configured by calling
150 comstack function cs_set_ssl_certificate_file before cs_bind is used.
152 Fix bug regarding multiple calls to ZOOM_connection_connect.
154 Implement cs_set_ssl_ctx which sets SSL_CTX for SSL comstack.
156 Do not create SSL_CTX in cs_create (ssl_type). Create in tcpip_bind,
157 tcpip_rcvconnect instead. This allows user to set custom SSL_CTX.
159 ZOOM now allows inspection of X509 peer certificate for verification.
160 The X509 buffer is retrived by reading ZOOM option "sslPeerCert".
162 Removed libyazssl.la. When SSL is enabled, libyaz.la has SSL support and
163 all programs have too (yaz-ztest, yaz-client, zoom..). May not be
164 as "modular" but it simplifies things.
166 Added cs_get_peer_certificate to that returns peer X509 PEM.
168 Added cs_get_ssl that returns SSL handle (SSL *) for SSL comstack; returns
169 NULL if SSL is unavailable.
171 Documentation about MARC decoding tools.
173 Fix --disable-tcpd to really disable tcpd. Patch by Robin H. Johnson.
175 --- 2.0.19 2004/03/30
177 Rename CHANGELOG to NEWS to follow GNU style packing.
179 Fix bug with missing initialization of member in init_diagnostics.
180 This bug affects threaded version of GFS server.
182 --- 2.0.18 2004/03/20
184 Use wrbuf_xmlputs_n instead of wrbuf_write_cdata to avoid clash with
187 Ensure zlib.dll is packed with Windows install.
189 --- 2.0.17 2004/03/17
191 Fix encoding of xsd:string to use text instead of CDATA.
193 Fix endless loop in CQL parser with unbalanced ".
195 Use a more compact way to store MARC-8 conversion tables.
197 --- 2.0.16 2004/03/16 Debian only
199 Oleg Kolobov Fixed a bug in yaz_iconv regarding conversion to
202 Update CQL parser to use new CQL 1.1 modifiers for booleans and
207 --- 2.0.15 2004/03/01
209 Another fix for decoding of XML packed records.
211 --- 2.0.14 2004/02/25
213 Fixes for Chunked encoding. White space not ignored after length spec.
215 Update NS and use default NS for SRW diagnostic elements.
217 --- 2.0.13 2004/02/23
219 Implement ZOOM_resultset_cache_reset which resets record cache.
221 Implement ZOOM_resultset_sort which sorts a result set.
223 Implement chunked HTTP transfer.
225 For SSL, use -lssl -lcrypto on systems that don't have pkg-config.
227 --- 2.0.12 2004/02/16
229 Added member 'schema' to bend_explain_rr structure so that backend
230 can specify explain record identifier. Defaults to Zeerex 2.0.
232 Fix encoding of OID's of form 1.0.X. Bug introduced in 2.0.11.
234 --- 2.0.11 2004/02/16
236 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates: updated diagnostic in srw.h to use uri instead
239 Added init command for yaz-client which sends "extra" init request.
241 Fixed two bugs in OID codec - ber_oidc. Throw error when encoding/decoding
242 bad truncated OID. Fix decoding of OID X.Y... when X=2 and Y>39.
244 Fixed a bug in ASN.1 compiler that caused Type-1 Operator codec to fail.
246 Make ZOOM error code for "invalid query".
248 Fixed compilation for SSL which wasn't properly enabled for all platforms.
250 --- 2.0.10 2004/02/05
252 For yaz.m4, allow second argument for YAZ_INIT to hold minimal version of
255 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates. Diagnostic code now a URI.
257 Added option -p <file> to make Generic Frontend Server to write PID file.
259 Added option -D to put Generic Frontend Server in background on its own.
261 Make ZOOM C recognize option "password". If unset, "pass" is used
262 (for backwards compatibility).
264 Fixed a bug in Generic Frontend Server that could make it crash if a
265 client sets characterSetNegotation bit, but didn't pass negotiation stuff
268 New YAZ client command, zversion, that sets Z39.50 version (1,2,3..).
269 Must be issued before open, in order to be in effect.
271 --- 2.0.9-6 2004/01/12 Debian/Windows
273 Make the SRU server more picky WRT unknown params, etc.
275 Bug fix: ZOOM scan response didn't return displayTerm - when present.
277 New YAZ client command, options, that sets Z39.50 options.
279 New utility functions yaz_init_opt_{encode,decode} to encode/decode Z39.50
280 options from a string of tokens (one token for each option bit).
282 Update SRW diagnostic code messages.
284 --- 2.0.9-5 2004/01/07 Debian/Windows
286 Handle user defined stylesheet for SRW/SRU.
288 --- 2.0.9-4 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
290 Fix bug in decoding of Content-Length.
292 --- 2.0.9-3 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
294 Fix a bug with decoding of XML packed records.
296 --- 2.0.9-2 2004/01/05 Debian only
298 Allow empty ODR (NMEM=0) for odr_oiddup and odr_getoidbystr.
300 Fix bug in SRW/SRU diagnostics decoding.
304 Fixed bug in Generic Frontend Server which could drop records exceeding
305 preferred message size. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
307 Fixed calculation of package size for structured records in Generic
308 Frontend Server. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
310 Fixed namespace for SRW/SRU diagnostics.
312 Fixed SEGV in yaz-client that occured for HTTP connection errors.
316 * SRW/SRU 1.1. Since the Namespace has changed for SRW/SRU, it means that
317 this version is incompatible with version 1.0 and older YAZ SRW/SRU
320 CQL changes to reflect recent changes to the specification:
321 * Documentation talks about context sets instead of index sets.
322 * Documentation talks about indexes instead of qualifiers.
323 * The CQL-to-PQF transformer's configuration file now uses
324 "index.set.name = <attributes>" instead of the old form
325 "qualifier.set.name = <attributes>". (Both forms are still
326 understood but the latter is deprecated.)
327 * CQL terms with no explicit index specified are now interpreted as
328 cql.serverChoice instead of srw.serverChoice (which of course
329 behaves exactly the same.)
333 MARC conversion can now generate ISO2709 output in another
334 character set. yaz-marcdump uses this facility if you invoke it
337 Added missing C decl macros for include/yaz/{soap.h,srw.h,cql.h}, so that
338 functions from there can be used from C++.
342 Frontend server now transfers memory from decoded packages to stream
345 NMEM now clears freed blocks with 'Y' (hex 59) to force bad memory
346 references to show up.
348 ZOOM-C now supports standard ZOOM option names as described in v1.4 of
349 the ZOOM Abstract API. The older names for the same options are still
350 also supported for the benefit of old applications.
352 ZOOM-C supports "implementationId" and "implementationVersion" options
353 to go along with "implementationName". These allow the user code to
354 specify identification strings to be sent to servers.
355 Add OID for the new ExtLite attribute set.
357 Add OIDs for NACSIS-CATP, FINMARC2000 and MARC21-fin record-syntaxes,
358 as requested/supplid by Ere Maijala <ere@atp.fi>
360 For generic frontend server, reverse the order of
361 "toolkit-supplied / application-supplied" strings sent as implementationId,
362 Name and Version. Also, remove the spaces around the slash. This brings
363 the GFS in line with the behaviour of ZOOM-C on the client side.
365 Add function ZOOM_scanset_display_term.
367 yaz-client shows scan displayTerm if present.
369 Utility yaz-iconv is now installed by default along with the man page
372 Extend configure check for OpenSSL to use pkg-config where available (such
375 Incorporate patch by Morten Bogeskov which allows a Unix file socket
376 server to specify uid/gid/mask for socket using the format
377 unix:[user=uid,][group=gid,][umask=mask,]file=path
378 If file= is omitted the existing format is assumed, e.g.
380 in which case the mask is 0666 (rw for everybody).
382 Major restructure of YAZ source. All source in libyaz is in src directory.
383 Programs in client (yaz-client), ztest (yaz-ztest), zoom (zoom programs),
384 util (utility programs such as ASN.1 compiler, yaz-marcdump).
386 Added man page for utility yaz-marcdump (used to be called marcdump).
387 yaz-marcdump is installed by 'make install'.
389 Fixed a memory leak in Generic Frontend Server that occurred when decoding
390 of incoming package failed.
392 Fixed a potential DOS attack vulnerability in COMSTACK/ODR.
394 Change prototype of odr_perror: add const to message string.
396 New function yaz_log_reopen which reopens log file (for log rotate, etc.)
398 * Blocking parameter for COMSTACK cs_create is now a bit mask rather
399 than a blocking flag. Bit 0 is set for blocking, reset for non-blocking.
400 Bit 1 is set if cs_addrstr should avoid DNS lookup; reset for full
401 DNS lookup. There should not be any compatibility problems with this
402 assuming that blocking=1 or 0 is used.
404 Fix bad reference in UNIX comstack in function cs_addrstr.
406 Fix for compilation on AIX.
408 The generic front-end server (server/seshigh.c) now supports returning
409 Init diagnostics to the client in User-information-field, in
410 accordance with Z35.90 Implementor Agreement 5 (Returning diagnostics
415 Allow any CQL relation (not just all,any,exact,scr).
417 Fixes for OCLC UI ASN.1 to make it work with SilverPlatter targets
418 that features the same UI.
420 Implemented command update0 in YAZ client which is equivalent to
421 update but uses old of Ext Update ASN.1.
423 Use OID 1.2.840.10003.15.1000.81.1 for privately defined charsets
424 in charset negotiation. Added VAL_ID_CHARSET in oid.h.
425 Previously no OID was used for this info.
427 ZOOM uses smallSetUpperBound=1 instead of 0 for piggyback searches.
428 It apparantely upsets EBSCO Publishing IR Z39.50 Server which
429 returns 'malformed search term' otherwise.
431 SortResponse member resultCount now set to NULL in sort handler of
434 OPAC support ZOOM. ZOOM_record_get returns OPAC info (as XML) if
437 Add three new utility functions for translating OIDs between various
438 formats -- symbolic name such as "Usmarc", minus-1-terminated int
439 arrays and dotted strings such as "1.2.840.10003.9.5.1":
440 int *oid_name_to_oid(oid_class oclass, const char *name, int *oid);
441 char *oid_to_dotstring(const int *oid, char *oidbuf);
442 char *oid_name_to_dotstring(oid_class oclass, const char *name, char *oidbuf);
444 Reverted modifications for ES Update definition for z_IU0Update
445 (OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and 1.2.840.10003.9.5). The definition
446 is back to YAZ 2.0.2.
448 String value attributes for CCL parser.
450 Support for OCLC's locally registered "OCLC-UserInformation" PDU,
451 which their FirstSearch server returns in Init responses, sometimes
452 carrying useful diagnostic information when Init fails. This has the
453 OID 1.2.840.10003.10.1000.17.1 and is defined in the file
454 "z39.50/oclcui.asn", where its definition is somewhat different from
455 what OCLC document on their web-site, as required to interoperate with
458 Support for anonymous authentication in yaz-client. Use the command
461 * Fix the OID of the Index Data-local "admin" Extended Service from
462 1.2.840.10003.9.81.1 to 1.2.840.10003.9.1000.81.1. The omission of
463 the 1000, which indicates a locally-defined OID, was a mistake.
467 Fix CCL directive @case handling so that it affects string match for
468 both CCL keywords and qualifiers.
470 * ESFormat-Update updates. Packages with OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and
471 1.2.840.10003.9.5 are now handled by the same decoder z_IU0Update .
472 Decoder has been updated with ASN.1 changes as listed in
473 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/updateES.html
474 Note that the "latest" DB Update, OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1.1 , handler
475 z_IUUpdate, remains unchanged.
477 ZOOM_record_get may now return a record in a specific character set.
478 For type use "form; charset=from[,to]" where form (render, xml, ..) ,
479 "from" is the character set of record as returned by target. "to" is
480 the character set to be returned. If omitted, "to" is UTF-8.
482 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed from yaz-comp to yaz-asncomp
484 New ODR utility, odr_getelement, which returns name of element for
485 which encoding/decoding failed.
487 Fixed ODR so that it returns error code OREQUIRED rather than ONONE
488 in cases where a required element was omitted.
490 Bug fix: some MARC8 sequences were not converted.
492 New ZOOM option "step" which specifies number of records to be
493 retrieved in one chunk. Used in conjunction with "start" and "count".
495 SRW support for yaz-client. Use scheme http: to use it, e.g.
498 yaz-client no longer does (un)intelligent character set conversions
499 by default. Can be enabled with charset and marc_charset commands.
501 xmalloc trace fix for 64-bit systems such as DEC alpha.
503 Solaris 2.6 compile fix.
505 New function, cql_strerror() translates SRW error codes, as returned
506 by cql_transform_error(), into human-readable English strings. Used
507 in yaz-client diagnostics when appropriate.
509 New CQL2RPN query-type for the command-line yaz-client, parses CQL and
510 converts it into a type-1 query which is sent to the server. This
511 makes CQL available for use with all Z-servers, as opposed to the tiny
512 minority that can handle CQL queries themselves.
516 New Debian package layout similar to the Redhat Package layout.
518 New ZOOM events ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_{RECORD,SEARCH} for receiving a record
519 and search result respectively.
523 Redhat package is now several packages: libyaz (runtime libraries),
524 libyaz-devel (development and documentation, and yaz (utility programs).
525 Package spec file by Morten Bøgeskov.
527 New member 'schema' in struct bend_fetch_rr which the name of requested
528 schema (SRW/SRU) for record (or NULL if none was given). The fetch
529 handler MAY set this to reflect the schema of the returned record.
531 New member 'display_term' in struct scan_entry. GFS now sets member entries
532 and allocates scan entries to be filled by user scan handler. In previous
533 version, entries member was allocated by the scan handler. That still works,
534 but the GFS will ignore member display_term - assuming it was NOT set by
535 the handler. The fact that the GFS now allocates the entries both allows
536 for new members and makes a scan handler easier to write.
538 Fix CQL lex buffer overflow.
540 SRW/SRU recordPacking. For SRW default recordPacking is string. For
541 SRU default recordPacking is string.
543 SRU protocol support for frontend server.
545 Fix compile bug for systems that have nl_langinfo but CODESET undefined.
547 Added missing PQF transform rules for <= and >= . Thanks to Peter Popovics.
549 Added scan for the ZOOM shell (zoomsh).
553 * String Identifers for Schemas (Amendment 5).
554 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am5.html
555 Old definition for schema
556 Odr_oid *schema; /* OPT */
561 Z_InternationalString *uri;
562 #define Z_Schema_oid 1
563 #define Z_Schema_uri 2
566 * resultCount parameter to Sort Response (Amendment 1).
567 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am1.html
569 Support for SRW 1.0 over HTTP. This is an optional feature and
570 requires libxml2 to operate. Enable SOAP by specifying --with-xml2
573 Generic frontend server supports HTTP/SOAP/SRW and Z39.50/BER
574 on the same port. SRW SearchRetrieveRequests are mapped
575 to bend_init,bend_search,bend_fetch,bend_close.
577 Z39.50 Query Type-104 added - to facilitate CQL within Z39.50.
579 CQL support. Source is directory 'cql'. CQL is supported in ZOOM
580 (both SRW and Z39.50) and the YAZ client (Z39.50 only).
582 ZOOM connections are SRW based if schem http is used for hostname
583 in connect, e.g. z = ZOOM_connection_new("http://myserver");
584 ZOOM_query may be of type CQL, e.g. ZOOM_query_cql(q, "dc.title=x");
586 CCL proximity operators !n, %n converts to PQF @prox 0 n 1 2 k 2
587 and @prox 0 n 0 1 k 2 respectively, meaning: exlusion=false,
588 distance=n, order=true/false, relation=le, prox unit=word. If
589 n is omitted, distance 1 is used.
591 Fixed problem with C compiler include path in wrong order.
593 For TCP/IP COMSTACK, set recv buffer to an appropriate "large" value
594 on Solaris. Patch from Ko van der Sloot.
596 New MARC decode API. All new functions operate on a yaz_marc_t
597 handle. The most important new functions are: yaz_marc_create,
598 yaz_marc_decode_{buf,wrbuf}, yaz_marc_destroy, .. to create handler,
599 decode and destroy respectively. Decoder can produce formats
600 MARC line, simple XML, OAI MARC and MARC XML (LoC). See
601 include/yaz/marcdisp.h.
603 YAZ Iconv utility now supports MARC8 decoding (marc8.c). Converts
604 to UTF-8, UCS-32, wchar_t or Latin-1.
606 * Prototypes for yaz_iconv_-functions moved to separate header
607 include/yaz/yaz-iconv.h.
609 Make a few private functions 'static' in unix.c. This prevents
610 duplicate unix_close in PHP with YAZ and imap. PHP Bug 20977.
612 For ZOOM connection, the options targetImplementation{Id,Name,Version}
613 are set when Init Response is received.
615 New function ZOOM_connection_error_x similar to ZOOM_connection_error
616 but returns diagnostic set as well.
618 New function yaz_strerror which is a portable wrapper for
619 strerror/strerror_r/GetLastMessage.
621 * ZOOM_record_get supports type "xml" in which case MARC XML (from LOC)
622 is returned for MARC. If type is "oai", then OAI MARC is returned.
624 Fix creation of lib/yaz-config so it works if srcdir != objdir. Patch
629 yaz_marc_decode uses OAI MARC as XML format for ISO2709 records.
631 Fix bad race conditions on SIGTERM and terminate gracefully in
634 Move retrieval (data1) module to Zebra since nobody seems to be
637 Add GRS-1 render for ZOOM using same format as yaz-client.
641 Added man pages: yaz-client(1), yaz-ztest(8), yaz(7), zoomsh(1).
643 Fix broken ESpec handling in data1 module.
645 SGML reader parses comments and makes them part of the data1 tree.
647 Added several type casts so that YAZ compiles as C++ code.
649 ZOOM didn't handle PDU encoding failures properly.
651 Added more Bib-1 diagnostics (approved extensions).
653 GNU configure: better check for iconv.
655 More portable use of accept, getpeername. Check for socklen_t. Use
656 int/size_t if socklen_t is not defined.
660 PQF parser rejects bad queries - including those with extra
661 characters in them. PQF parser used to silently ignore that.
662 Cleaner API for PQF added, which allows you to get detailed
663 error information for bad queries (see yaz/pquery.h).
665 Fixed bug in ZOOM_record_get for type "database".
667 Implemented mini iconv library supporting conversions between
668 UTF-8, UCS4, UCS4LE and ISO-8859-1. Implemented in util/siconv.c.
670 * Removed XML reader (d1_expat.c). It's part of Zebra instead.
674 Fixed ZOOM C record cache so that preferredRecordSyntax and
675 elementSetName is used to check for already fetched records.
679 Added three members in bend_initrequest structure to facilitate
680 character set negotiation.
682 Fixed a bug in frontend server that could cause indefinite
683 loops under rare conditions.
685 Revised character set utilities (charneg.h) so that encoding
686 UCS-4, UCSA-4, UTF-16 and UTF-8 are encoded non-privately.
688 For PQF, directive @term <type> sets term type for Scan/Search.
689 Here <type> is general, string, numeric, null. The term type
690 is inherited - just like @attr.
692 New call odr_set_charset that sets character set conversion for
693 international-strings on a ODR stream. Prototype is:
694 int odr_set_charset(ODR o, const char *to, const char *from);
695 The InternationalString is still represented as C string in YAZ
696 so native strings of type UTF-8, ASCII, etc. will work (UTF-16
697 won't). On the protocol level, you can use any encoding.
699 Support for UNIX sockets in ZOOM.
701 Solaris recv sometimes returns errno == ENOENT. It is treated as
702 EINPROGRESS. COMSTACK patch by Ko van der Sloot.
704 New COMSTACK of type UNIX Socket. Use "unix:/path" as address for
705 both client and server. Code by Morten Bøgeskov.
709 On Windows ZOOM functions are of type __stdcall rather than __cdecl, so
710 that they can be used directly from Visual Basic. You must recompile
711 your windows APP if you're using ZOOM.
713 Character Set and Language Negotiation(3) for ZOOM API and YAZ client.
714 Commands "lang" and "charset" sets language and character set respectively.
715 Options "lang" and "charset" is interpreted by the ZOOM API. Note, these
716 are not part of the official ZOOM spec) All is due to Oleg Kolobov.
718 Attributes from multiple CCL fields may be OR'ed rather than merged
719 using directive "@field or". Fields are still merged by default -
720 equivalent to "@field merge".
722 Fixed bug in ZOOM connect that occurred on OpenBSD (maybe others). Patch
725 Fixed bug in zget for parameter ExtendedServicesResponse.
731 Added PQF feature: '@attr type=value' may be written as '@type=value'.
733 Client displays USR.1:SearchResult-1 (hits per term).
735 Additional Search Info for search in Generic Frontend Server.
737 Fixed CCL parsing of "field=s".
739 WIN32 installer - using the excellent NSIS software from nullsoft.
741 Fixed CCL parsing of "field = - <number>".
743 Added function yaz_marc_decode that decodes MARC for line mode
744 display or XML (similar to that used by JZKit).
746 Fixed BER decoding of OPTIONAL CHOICE. The bug didn't affect the
747 Z39.50. But ISO/ILL was, however.
749 Added patch by Rustam T. Usmanov that implements Z39.50 duplicate
750 detection service (Z39.50-1995 Amendment 2) and Language Negotiation (3).

753 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/charneg-3.html
757 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
758 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
759 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
761 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
763 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
764 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
766 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
767 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
768 is user, group and password.
770 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
772 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
773 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
774 server and yaz-ztest.
776 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
778 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
780 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
781 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
783 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
786 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
787 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
789 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
791 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
792 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
794 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
798 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
799 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
800 ZOOM_scanset_destroy.
802 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
803 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
806 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies schema for retrieval.
808 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
809 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
811 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
813 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
814 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
817 Working on Debian packages.
821 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
823 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
825 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
826 with key="host" to get same result.
828 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
829 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
830 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
832 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
837 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
839 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
841 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
842 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
843 were changed to size_t.
845 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
848 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
849 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
853 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
857 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
859 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
861 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
863 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
865 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
867 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
869 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
870 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
872 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
873 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
875 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
876 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
878 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
879 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
880 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
882 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
884 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
885 waitIfPossible (was wait).
887 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
890 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
891 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
893 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
895 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
896 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
898 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
900 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
902 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
903 set was specified for scan.
905 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
906 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
909 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
910 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
911 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
913 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
914 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
915 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
916 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
919 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
920 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
921 address. Only tested on UNIX.
923 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
924 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
928 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
929 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
930 (such as other PHP extensions).
932 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
933 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
935 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
936 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
938 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
940 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
941 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
942 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
943 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
944 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
945 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
946 thing a single DLL/SO.
948 Added Segment handler for backend server.
950 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
952 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
953 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
957 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
958 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
959 located in sub directory asn.
961 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
962 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
965 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
969 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
970 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
973 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
977 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
978 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
979 (default is /usr/local).
981 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
982 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
983 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
985 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
986 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
987 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
988 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
989 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
990 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
991 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
992 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
994 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
995 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
996 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
999 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
1000 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
1001 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
1004 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
1005 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
1006 a service is started/stopped.
1008 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
1009 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
1010 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
1011 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
1012 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
1013 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
1014 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
1015 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
1016 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
1017 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
1020 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
1021 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
1023 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
1024 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
1025 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
1026 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
1027 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
1028 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
1029 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
1030 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
1032 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
1033 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
1034 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
1035 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
1036 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
1038 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
1039 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
1041 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
1042 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
1044 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
1046 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
1048 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
1049 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
1051 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
1052 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
1053 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
1054 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
1055 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
1056 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
1057 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
1058 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
1059 will support both versions.
1061 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
1062 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
1063 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
1065 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
1066 contain positionOfTerm.
1068 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
1069 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
1070 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
1072 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
1073 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
1074 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
1075 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
1076 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
1079 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
1080 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
1081 in include/backend.h.
1083 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
1084 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
1085 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
1088 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
1089 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
1090 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
1092 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
1094 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
1095 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
1097 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
1098 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
1100 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
1101 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
1104 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
1106 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
1107 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
1108 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
1110 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
1112 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
1114 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
1116 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
1118 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
1119 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
1121 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
1122 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
1123 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
1126 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
1127 parent wasn't initialised.
1129 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
1130 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
1131 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
1133 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
1135 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
1136 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
1137 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
1138 using Odr_arm - as in:
1139 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
1141 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
1143 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
1144 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
1145 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
1147 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
1149 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
1151 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
1152 the following requests.
1154 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
1155 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
1156 in the Init handler.
1158 * Changed interface for sort in server.
1160 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
1161 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
1162 to Charles Woodfield.
1164 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
1165 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
1167 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
1168 and date/time-last-modified.
1170 --- 1.4pl2 1998/1/30
1172 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
1173 was introduced by release 1.4.
1175 --- 1.4pl1 1998/1/29
1177 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
1179 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
1181 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
1184 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
1185 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
1186 of the use of this feature.
1188 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
1189 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
1191 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
1192 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
1194 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
1195 of - group of elements.
1197 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
1199 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
1202 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
1204 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
1205 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
1206 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
1208 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
1209 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
1211 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
1213 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
1217 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
1219 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
1220 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
1222 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
1223 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
1224 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
1225 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
1226 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
1227 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
1230 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
1231 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
1233 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
1236 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
1237 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
1238 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
1239 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
1240 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
1242 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
1243 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
1244 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
1246 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
1247 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
1250 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
1251 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
1252 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
1253 This function is thread safe.
1255 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
1256 in 'server' directory.
1258 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
1260 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
1261 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
1263 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
1265 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
1267 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
1269 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
1270 release of RPN structure.
1272 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
1273 With input from RVDM.
1275 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
1276 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
1278 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
1280 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
1281 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
1283 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
1285 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
1287 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
1289 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
1291 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
1295 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
1297 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
1299 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
1301 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
1303 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
1305 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
1307 Added Update extended service.
1309 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
1311 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
1314 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
1316 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
1318 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
1320 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
1322 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
1324 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
1326 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
1328 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
1330 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
1332 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
1333 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
1335 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
1337 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
1339 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
1341 --- 1.1pl2 1996/4/10
1343 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
1347 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
1348 endpoints in dynamic mode.
1350 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
1351 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
1353 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
1354 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
1355 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
1357 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
1359 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
1360 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
1363 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
1364 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
1366 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
1367 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
1369 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
1370 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
1372 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
1375 --- 1.0pl4 1996/1/24
1379 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
1380 the rank and record number.
1382 Adjustments to the frontend server.
1384 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
1388 Various changes to retrieval module.
1390 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
1391 ints paired with #defines.
1393 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
1396 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
1399 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
1401 --- 1.0pl2 1995/12/6
1403 Memory bug in log module fixed.
1405 --- 1.0pl1 1995/12/5
1407 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
1409 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
1411 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
1415 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
1416 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
1417 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
1418 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
1420 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
1422 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
1424 Added Espec-1 format.
1426 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
1427 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
1428 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
1430 Demo client can request simple element set names.
1432 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
1434 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
1435 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
1437 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
1439 --- 1.0b3 1995/08/24
1441 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
1442 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
1443 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
1445 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
1446 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
1449 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
1451 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
1452 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
1453 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
1455 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
1458 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
1459 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
1461 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
1462 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
1464 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
1465 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
1466 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
1467 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
1468 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
1470 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
1471 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
1473 --- 1.0b2 1995/06/27
1474 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
1476 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
1478 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
1479 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
1480 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
1481 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
1482 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
1483 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
1484 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
1485 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
1487 Documentation updated accordingly.
1489 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
1493 First public release.
