3 New utility to get web content. Header is url.h. A command line tool
4 yaz-url is part of the distribution and packages.
6 Fixes for SSL COMSTACK (when gnutls is in use).
8 New functions yaz_base64{encode,decode}. Header is base64.h.
12 ZOOM C includes HTTP response buffer as additional info if it fails
13 to decode the SRU response.
15 Make wrbuf_json_puts available.
19 zoom: throw diagnostic for invalid value for option "sru". Before a
20 bad SRU request was sent.
22 Adding new utility wrbuf_vp_puts.
24 Add cclxmlconfig.obj to win/makefile. It was missing completely.
28 ZOOM HTTP: use absoluteURI's in proxy mode as required by RFC 2616 (HTTP).
29 Fix a bug in handling of cookies. Fix a bug that would occur if proxy +
30 redirect was used at the same time.
32 MARC line mode decoding: be less picky about length given - first
33 5 digits of header that is.
35 CQL to CCL conversion: deal with CQL proximity (cql_to_ccl function).
37 Changes to decoding of SRU records: a record with recordPacking=xml is
38 modified with a new root element <yaz_record> if the recordData contains
39 multiple children elements. This is to make the record XML parseable
42 RPN to SOLR conversion: encode special characters.
44 Generic Frontend Server: fix uinitialized member, stepSize.
48 Fix a bug in SRU decoding of records.. The database records stored
49 had un-initialized memory, but it would only be seen with yaz_record_render
52 Fix a bug in ccl_qual_dup introduced in 4.2.3.
56 Add new CCL utility, ccl_qual_dup, which makes a copy of a CCL bibset.
60 Add new utilities to convert from CQL to CCL . These utilities have
61 prefix cql_to_ccl defined in cql.h.
63 Defensive coding for an off-by-one bug in ucol_getSortKey. This could
64 lead to memory heap corruptions when ICU utilities were in use.
68 Make compilation work without Libxml2.
70 yaz-client: remove redundant blanks in display of searchResult-1 term
75 CQL: parse CQL sortby spec. The resulting sort spec is stored in the
76 resulting CQL node (tree) in a new node CQL_NODE_SORT.
78 CQL and GFS: add utility cql_sortby_to_sortkeys which converts CQL sortby
79 1.2 node tree to CQL 1.1 spec. This in turn allows the generic frontend
80 server to only consider srw_sortkeys and support both SRU 1.1 and 1.2.
81 Note that the CQL sortby spec is only converted when the GFS is already
82 converting from CQL to RPN (cql2rpn element).
84 New function nmem_strsplitx. This is like nmem_strsplit but allows us to
85 specify whether to collapse delimitors or not. The existing nmem_strsplit
86 do collapse (collapse parameter = 1).
88 Windows installer: For NSIS, set InstallDir depending on x86/x64.
90 Rename internal func yaz_use_attribute_create. While non-static, this
91 function is not declared in a public header.
95 Add -lCrun when linking with ICU on Solaris.
97 More quicks character set conversions for OPAC records.
101 fix problem with record_render: records were converted (character set
102 wise) even if no charset was given. Problem introduced in YAZ 4.1.5.
106 SRU: add methods for handling DADS SRU-proxy facets.
108 Separate OPAC record character set for ZOOM_record. yaz_record_render
109 allows a character set given as charset=from/opacfrom,to where 'from' is
110 the character set of a bibliographic record, 'opacfrom' is character set
111 of OPAC record and 'to' is the target character set.
115 yaz-client: show may XML format records. Command show followed by 'format'
116 will format XML records retrieved using Libxml2's xmlDocDumpFormatMemory
119 src/stemmer.c: Avoid using unnamed union. It is not supported by some
122 For PHPYAZ: set YAZVERSION, not YAZ_VERSION.
125 Update yaz.spec to operate on both SLES11 / Centos 5.5.
127 RPM: Release includes 'indexdata' name. Use indexdata in release name so
128 this package can be distinguished from other vendors.
130 yaz-config: Use exec_prefix, libdir, includedir . Use these variables
131 as determined by configure
133 yaz-config: set YAZ_VERSION env. php_yaz relies on it.
135 GFS: Z_PresentStatus_partial_4 for missing record. If bend_fetch handler
136 returns no error and no record, the present request is considered
137 partial (only a subset of the records could be returned by backend), and
138 so it is appropriate to set Present Status to partial-4.
142 Move yaz-config man pages to section 1.
144 More documentation about SOLR.
146 tcp comstack: change behavior for @-specs (anyaddr). @ listens on
147 AF_INET (IPV4) peers, and @6 listens to AF_INET6 (ipv6) peers.
148 Previously @ listened on AF_INET6 which accepted both IPV4 and IPV6
149 peers on some Linux systems. However, in general that does not work
150 so YAZ can not rely on that to work. Debian changed behavior in this
151 respect from Debian lenny to Debian squeeze (still testing as of Oct
153 http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-devel@lists.debian.org/msg277726.html
155 zoomsh: remove "debugging" output. Was added by mistake in 4.1.0.
159 Fix yaz-config output: echo_source not set correctly by configure.
163 SOLR WebService support for yaz-client and ZOOM.
165 Define record syntax JSON. OID: 1.2.840.10003.5.1000.81.3 .
167 --- 4.0.12 2010/08/17
169 Z39.50 facet support. Facet specifications are passed for search in
170 other-information with ASN.1 as defined in facet.asn and OID
171 .10.1000.81.5 . Facets are expressed as an Attribute list as known
172 from Type-1/RPN queries. Type 1 is field. Type 2 is sort order. Type
173 3 is limit (number of entries to get in response). yaz-ztest returns
174 dummy facets if a client asks for them.
176 --- 4.0.11 2010/07/09
178 CCL fixes: bug 2895 and bug 3539.
180 GR1-display: add comma in display - was removed by mistake in
183 Windows installer: bundle MSVCP90.dll - used by icuuc42.dll.
185 SRU: Merge cookies on HTTP redirects (Giannis Kosmas <kosmas@lib.uoc.gr>).
187 --- 4.0.10 2010/06/18
189 ZOOM C: Add ZOOM_resultset_release. ZOOM_resultset_release releases a
190 result set from a connection. The result set will be on its own
191 thereafter; no operations on it will perform retrievals from a target.
192 Only cached copies are returned.
194 ZOOM C:fix case for HTTP servers responding with Connection:close.
195 Ensure that if there is a current task it is resumed (like fetching
196 more records in a result set) . Bug #3484.
198 PQF parser: use odr_atoi for Odr_int (not atoi)
200 Minor PQF encoding and decoding changes; reformat. PQF decoding: attribute
201 values that contain any non-digits are treated as string attributes
202 (previously decoding only checked for leading character ([0-9]). PQF
203 encoding: attribute string values are not surrounded by double-quotes.
207 New utility for managing threads - thread_create.h.
209 Add socket pipe utility - spipe.h. The socket pipe has same purpose as
210 Unix pipe . Unfortunately Windows pipes do not work on select/poll -
211 but YAZ' implementation do.
213 Fixes for yaz_cond-functions on Windows 7.
215 DLL export more symbols.
217 zoomsh: show record do NOT render opac.
219 Remove *.la files from Debian and RPM packages.
223 Debian package libyaz-dev depends on libgnutls-dev again (was
224 removed in YAZ 4.0.6, but due to Libtool it is still needed
225 even though yaz-config do not list libgnutls libs).
227 ZOOM: Use only one WRBUF for returning string results for
228 ZOOM_resultset. Reduces memory usage for ZOOM in general.
230 ZOOM: ZOOM_connection do not use a shared pointer to
231 ZOOM_resultset after ZOOM_resultset is destructed by
232 user. Reverts to YAZ 4.0.4 behavior.
236 record-conv: fix problem with at least one XSL conversion -
237 due to probably incorrect usage of XML XSL documents.
241 Fix yaz-config for static mode and the use of SSL (gnutls).
245 Forward decl timeval struct in mutex.h and gettimeofday.h.
247 yaz-config: fix 'static' mode linking.
251 Add functions yaz_cond_{create,destroy,wait,signal,broadcast}. These
252 are wrappers for pthreads or Windows. For Windows these are put in
253 a separate DLL: yaz_cond4.
255 libyaz.la (whole source) is compiled with thread. If thread support
256 is enabled enabled, all source of YAZ is compiled with treading support.
257 This allows core utilities such as yaz_log to use thread facilities.
258 Previously (YAZ 3 and YAZ 4 releases), only libyaz_server.la was using
259 thread utilities. This commit moves mutex utilities (mutex.c) from
260 libyaz_server.la to libyaz.la.
262 yaz-json-parse displays leading text until error.
266 Handle HTTP redirect for SRU GET in yaz-client and ZOOM C. Based on
267 patch from Giannis Kosmas.
269 SRU: no longer URL encode SRU database. The URL for an SRU server is
270 a URL and such is alreeady encoded - at least when given with leading
271 http:// or https://. This reverts behavior to YAZ 3.0.50.
273 Support for new MARC XML notation TurboMARC which like MARCXML is a
274 complete representation of MARC/ISO2709.. This one, however, is more
275 compact and allows for faster processing with XSLT. TurboMARC can be
276 used in the marcdisp.h API, from the yaz-marcdump utility and from
279 yaz-ztest can be configured - via the database - to perform certain
280 delays when it performs operations search, present and single record
281 fetch. This allows testers to make yaz-ztest act as a real or even slow
282 Z39.50 server. Refer to the yaz-ztest man pages for details.
286 wrbuf_destroy allows NULL WRBUF passed to it.
288 Fix CCL qualifier aliases (did not work since YAZ 2.1.56).
290 Add ZOOM_connection_close.
292 No fixed size buffers for ZOOM shell - bug #3257.
294 tstodr: make it work on s390 platform.
296 New icu iterator-functions. The new icu_iter-functions makes it possible
297 to use ICU chains from many threads.
299 yaz-client: better syntax check for show command.
303 New glob file pattern utility. Like POSIX glob. For Windows too. Refer to
306 New simple local-file XML include facility which allows file glob-patterns.
307 Refer to yaz/xml_include.h.
309 Utility yaz-json-parse which parses JSON and demonstrates the JSON parser
312 ZOOM_record_get supports new parameter "format" which makes it format XML
315 Fix JSON parser WRT start symbol. The start grammar symbol (referred to as
316 JSONText in ECMA-262) is JSONValue, not JSONObject.
320 Windows binaries for YAZ now compiled with Visual Studio 2008 (VC9).
321 Older versions of YAZ was compiled with Visual Studio 6.0 (1998).
323 Update so/DLL to version 4. Windows version builds YAZ4.DLL.
324 POSIX/Unix builds .so with major version 4.
326 Remove old LOG_-defines from log.h. They have been obsolete and
327 undefined by default for the last 5 years.
329 Odr_int is now of type 'long long'. Used to be 'int' in YAZ 3 series.
331 GFS: Remove socket (int *fd) from search_rr handler. The socket
332 descriptor ptr is a facility that allowed a search handler to supply
333 a socket which would serve as a callback - when search was complete.
334 This facility has now been in use for years.
336 COMSTACK API changes: cs_stackerr, cs_addrstr. COMSTACK method cs_stackerr
337 removed. It is not implemented by tcpip or unix COMSTACK, perhaps for ISO
338 SR which was removed 7 years ago. COMSTACK macro / method cs_addrstr now
339 returns 'const char *' rather than 'char *. The returned string is
340 read-only and should not be modified by applications. COMSTACK cs_close is
341 now a void function - it no longer returns int. No applications check for
342 the value and the implementations has always returned 0.
344 ZOOM: use size_t for scan hit counts and str size. Functions
345 ZOOM_scanset_term and ZOOM_scanset_display_term have changed, so that
346 occ (hit count) and len (string length) are now of type size_t pointer
347 rather than int pointer. This is to be able to represent large hit counts
348 and to also just to use the proper type for string length (strlen result).
350 New JSON parser. Refer to include/yaz/json.h .
352 WRBUF API changes.. For size parameters for WRBUF size_t is now used ..
353 Used to be int in some cases. Many wrbuf_-functions used to return an int
354 indicating some length.. These return values were never used. And so they
357 ODR: odr_malloc, odr_total now takes size_t for size.
359 clone_z_type: fix leak; occurred for encoding failures.
361 --- 3.0.52 2009/12/03
363 tcpip comstack: fix use of uinitialized variable in cs_straddr. This
364 bug was introduced in 3.0.51.
366 --- 3.0.51 2009/12/02
368 tcpip comstack: Remove TCP receiver buffer optimizations for Solaris.
370 tcpip comstack: fix leak for getaddrinfo.
372 Encoding of SRU database is performed by yaz_encode_sru_dbpath_odr or
373 yaz_encode_sru_dbpath_buf. Now used by yaz-client and the ZOOM API.
374 Decoding of SRU "path" database is performed by private function
375 yaz_decode_sru_dbpath_odr . This in turn is used by yaz_srw_decode
376 and yaz_sru_decode in server applications, GFS, yazproxy, metaproxy.
378 yaz-client: honor base command for SRU. Change when database setting
379 is applied for SRU and ensure it is kept when a connection is reset.
380 Change also the way errors are displayed or SRU (decoding of packages).
382 --- 3.0.50 2009/11/02
384 Add support for extra request / response data for SRU codecs and GFS.
385 The Z_SRW_PDU structure has two new members extraResponseData_{buf,len}
386 for extra data response buffer and length. For the GFS, both request
387 and response data (XML) is carried in extra_args and extra_response_data
388 for the search handler. Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
390 ZOOM: For queries that cannot be converted to the specified rpnCharset,
391 ZOOM now returns a diagnostic on the client-side ('invalid query' /
392 10010). This fixes bug #2113.
394 yaz-client fix: If cmdfile is passed to yaz-client (option -f) and that
395 cmdfile included a 'quit' command that would result in a memory violation.
397 --- 3.0.49 2009/10/01
399 Make a number of functions defined in xmlquery.c static. These have
400 never been declared in a public header file (yaz/xmlquery.h) and was
401 made public by mistake.
403 Improve speed of character conversions (iconv utilities). This makes
404 conversions from MARC-8 faster.
406 ZOOM_record_get returns 0 pointer if a MARC record can not be decoded -
407 unless type desired is "raw". This will prevent type "xml" from
408 returning ISO2709 .. Which obviously can not be XML parsed.
410 Fix memory leak in ZOOM that would occur if option apdulog was used
411 on a re-used connection.
413 Frontend server logs HTTP requests.
415 Frontend server now sends Z39.50 close when it times out (sesssion has
416 been idle for too long). Versions 2.0.30 and earlier also sent close.
417 But due to a mistake this was disabled in all versions after that, i.e.
418 the server would just close the socket immediately.
420 yaz-client emits a better message when receiving an unrecognised
421 userInformationField.
423 Skip zero-length subfields when decoding ISO2709. This rare case happens
424 if a record has two FS characters in a sequence. Without this patch
425 there would be a reference beyond char array in using_code_len fragments
428 Fix yaz-marcdump error that would occur if option -n was used (bug #3028).
430 --- 3.0.48 2009/08/28
432 The show command offered by the zoomsh command now takes a 3d optional
433 parameter type which is what is passed to ZOOM_record. If the type
434 argument is omitted, "render" is used.
436 RPN to CQL conv may use USE string attributes (bug #2978).
438 MarcXchange NS is now info:lc/xmlns/marcxchange-v1 .
440 --- 3.0.47 2009/07/08
442 Function yaz_xml2query allows a diagnostic element in the PQF XML
443 representation .. diagnostic@code and diagnostic@addinfo is diagnostic
444 code and additional info respectively.
446 The BER BOOLEAN is now the integral type Odr_bool which still happens
447 to be an 'int'. The BER INTEGER which used to be a plain 'int' is now
448 typedef'd to Odr_int. This is still an integral 'int', but it may be
449 changed to 64-bit via a one-liner in nmem.h (NMEM_64=1). The documentation,
450 ASN-1 compiler as well as programs has been updated to use the new types.
452 --- 3.0.46 2009/06/08
454 zoom: ZOOM_record_get now renders OPAC records when type=xml. Previously
455 only the bibliographic record was rendered. For type=opac, an OPAC
456 record is only returned if it is present.
458 iconv: small fix for encoding of advancegreek.
460 yaz-client: avoid double display of SRU/SRW records (bug #2798).
462 yaz-client: option auto_reconnect=on really reconnects.
464 yaz-client: fix bug #2770 - avoid length limit for auth parameters.
466 server: avoid null ptr ref for for yaz_poll errors.
468 build: fix RPM build for RHEL 5.3.
470 comstack: prefer IPV6 addresses over IPV4 - should refix bug #2350
472 --- 3.0.45 2009/03/31
474 Fixed bug #2709: TCP connect returns Invalid argument.
476 Fixed compilation for mingw.
478 Honor charset for raw records (ZOOM_record_get).
480 Fixed use of errno for threaded mode that was seen on Solaris 10.
482 Fixed argument passing with blanks in value for Windows Service.
484 Disable YAZ' own log rotate by default (no 1 GB limit).
485 The variable l_max_size which specifies the log file limit is set to 0
486 (DISABLED): This is due to the fact that YAZ is most often deployed using
487 logrotate. Also YAZ can not perform log rotate because of unsufficient
488 permissions (setuid).
490 --- 3.0.44 2009/02/17
492 List supported encodings in man page for yaz-iconv.
494 Fixed missing SSL libs for --libs output
496 Re-established OID record syntax application-xml. Nobody should use it
497 but we don't want to change soname because of this symbol being absent.
499 --- 3.0.42 2009/02/02
501 YAZ' RPM spec works for both SUSE Linux Enterprise and RedHat Fedora.
503 Added member named_result_sets for init handler struct for the GFS. This
504 allows a server to disable named result sets.
506 Removed OID record syntax application-xml.
508 Added support for rule-based transliterator for ICU wrapper of YAZ.
510 Fixed bug #1902: yaz-icu XML output.
512 Make YAZ checks Emacs friendly.
514 BITSTRING value shows value. Bug #2346.
516 ISO2709 decoding: skip control characters from indicator data.
518 Omit sort key by default in yaz-icu's output.
520 Allow combined single char options (again) for YAZ' options function.
522 Utility yaz-marcdump got option to display YAZ version (-V).
524 Allow YAZ to use ICU 3.4.
526 Added new ICU test case which illustrates removal of diacritics.
528 --- 3.0.41 2008/12/29
530 Fixed Fixed test that makes VERSION_SHA1 appear on dist versions too.
532 --- 3.0.40 2008/12/29
534 For configure, using option --without-xml2 also disables Libxslt/Libexslt
537 Fixed bug #2352: yaz-marcdump crashes for certain record.
539 Added man page 'bib1-attr' which includes list of common Bib-1 attributes.
541 Added support for Danmarc2 to UTF-8 conversion.
543 Added support for ISO5426 to UTF-8 conversion.
545 zget_InitRequest/zget_InitResponse returns GIT SHA1 hash as part of
546 implementation version.
548 Function yaz_version returns GIT SHA1 hash for parameter sha1_str.
550 --- 3.0.38 2008/11/10
552 ZOOM C now only fires one ZOOM_EVENT_SEARCH per search-task. Previously,
553 ZOOM_EVENT_SEARCH was fired for each searchRetrieve Response received.
555 ZOOM C now interprets databaseName option for ZOOM connection as path
558 Windows version bundled with Libxml2 2.7.1 / Libxslt 1.1.24 / ICU 4.0.
560 Fixed CCL to RPN/PQF conversion which could result in invalid PQF.
562 Dummy Libxml2 types no longer defined in headers of YAZ'.
564 Fixed memory violation for ZOOM C - could occur when SRU diagnostics was
567 --- 3.0.36 2008/09/26
569 Various ODR chapter fixes.
571 Windows version uses libxml2 2.6.32+, libxslt 1.1.23+ and ICU 4.0.
573 Added missing source for Windows compilation, mutex.c.
575 Fixed compilation of YAZ for Visual Studio 2008. Bug #2256.
577 For SRU connections in ZOOM all records up to "count" are now fetched.
579 Fixed crash in generic frontend server (and yaz-ztest) which occurred
580 in Windows due to bad error handling for Libxml2.
582 Added facility for sending arbitrary records (ASN.1 any) using
583 ZOOM C's Extended service update. Patch by Sam Reynolds.
585 New options for ZOOM C's connection, logapdu which makes ZOOM log
588 --- 3.0.34 2008/06/18
590 YAZ uses GNU TLS without the OpenSSL compatibility wrapper.
592 --- 3.0.32 2008/06/12
594 Fixed memory violation that could occur when decoding UTF-8. This bug
595 was only present in 3.0.30 of YAZ.
597 --- 3.0.30 2008/06/06
599 Implemented SSL sockets using GNU TLS. OpenSSL is still supported, but
600 GNU TLS is used by default (if found).
602 yaz-ztest returns OPAC records if a client asks for OPAC.
604 Improved speed of MARC-8 encoding.
606 Added support for lossy and loss-less MARC-8 encoding.
608 Changed yaz_record_conv_record to be reentrant for XSLT conversions.
610 Added new Windows Service wrapper (sc).
612 yaz-client's itemorder command may now send a file.
614 Fixed yaz-marcdump to allow the use of NS prefix for record element.
616 Added new function yaz_log_xml_errors.
618 Allow (but warn) unknown XML attributes in MARCXML parsing.
620 Handle G1 sequneces in MARC-8 decoding. Bug #2115.
622 The UTF-8 to MARC-8 conversion now uses a different set of characters
623 for Greek symbols. Bug #2120.
625 --- 3.0.26 2008/02/21
627 Added yaz_daemon (daemon.h).
629 Fixed bug #2068: pkg-config trouble
631 Fixed bug #395: ZOOM_record / OPAC record encoding problems.
633 --- 3.0.24 2008/01/28
635 Document --with-xml2 option.
637 Added OPAC XML XSD (etc/opacxml.xsd).
639 Allow glob mask for name attribute in retrieval element for the
640 generic frontend server's retrieval facility.
642 Changed yaz_poll_poll to return yaz_poll_except for all returned events
643 except POLLIN/POLLOUT.
645 Fixed error handling in cs_listen. Bug #2037.
647 --- 3.0.22 2008/01/20
649 Fixed version in yaz/yaz-version.h.
651 Fixed bug #2027: Crash when closing connection.
653 Changed configure so that ICU support is only enabled if only ICU
654 and Libxml2 is available (because the ICU chain is XML based).
656 --- 3.0.20 2008/01/15
658 YAZ now makes ICU utilities for Windows. A separate DLL, yaz_icu3.dll,
659 is built. Only this DLL depends on the ICU runtime.
661 yaz-ziffy is no longer part of YAZ. It is distributed separately by
662 Index Data because ziffy's license is GPL2 rather then 'Revised BSD'.
664 Changed license of CCL module to 'Revised BSD'. After consultation with
665 remaining members of the original EUROPAGATE consortium, we are re-issuing
666 the CCL module without a separate license. The software was developed by
667 Index Data as part of a research project. The special license was included
668 to help feed usage information back to the project consortium to support
669 project evaluation. At this time, the project consortium has long-since
670 disbanded, and the majority of the original principals have retired. At the
671 same time, we have significantly modified the software during the following
672 years, to the point where very practically no original code remains. To
673 simplify re-use of the software, we have contacted those members of the
674 consortium who could be reached, and agreed to re-issue the module as a
675 proper part of the YAZ package.
677 Tcl scripts uses /usr/bin/tclsh as preferred shell.
679 CQL closer to being version 1.2 compliant. CQL also allows free-form
680 terms, such as 'title=a b', and thus, make the CQL parser more CCL-like
683 Fixed bug in ZOOM_options_getl WRT setting of parameter lenp. This
684 bug could make Extended services handling crash in the ZOOM layer. This
685 bug was only present in YAZ 3.0.18.
687 --- 3.0.18 2007/12/19
689 ziffy uses YAZ' options rather than getopt; getopt is unavailable on
692 yaz-marcdump reads and writes collection wrapped records.
694 Handle OPAC for record conversion module.
696 Fixes for ICU wrapper.
698 Allow ICU libs to be controlled with --with-icu .
700 --- 3.0.16 2007/11/12
702 Added yaz_poll which is a wrapper for select/poll. When poll is available
703 and non-buggy, it is used, by yaz_poll . This allows more than 1024
704 sockets to be in use.
706 Added ICU wrapper library which exposes ICU http://www.icu-project.org/
707 functionality through an XML based configuration (ICU chain). This system
708 is useful for search facilities such as Pazpar2 and Zebra that needs to
709 perform tokenization of indexed material. The ICU code in a separate
710 library libyaz3_icu.a.
712 Added HTTP tunnel facility for COMSTACK, bug #1752.
713 This is a facility that allows a Web proxy, such as squid, to tunnel
714 Z39.50 traffic. This facility is "transparent" to must applications
715 using YAZ. It's enabled by using pseudo transport connect: followed by
716 the proxy address, followed by command, then follwed by he regular
717 "virtual" addresss. For example,
718 connect:webproxy.com:3128,tcp:z3950.loc.gov:7090/voyager .
720 More MARC-8/UTF-8 conversion fixes. Bugs #1666, #1667, #1778.
722 --- 3.0.14 2007/09/21
724 Fixed bad memory reference in ZOOM_record - cuased by member not being
725 initialized. This was a problem only in YAZ 3.0.12.
727 Fixed bug in conversion from MARC to XML: Non-XML characters in control
728 fields were not removed.
730 Changed the way C code is generated from codetables.xml. Made a MARC-8
731 conversion trie for each characterSet section rather than codeTable.
732 This is ensure the code can deal with G0/G1 sequences. Use of a newer version
733 of codetables.xml from Larry Dixson, LOC. Bug #1464.
735 --- 3.0.12 2007/09/12
737 ZOOM C now handles SRU surrogate diagnostics (i.e. errors returned
738 from ZOOM_record_error).
740 ZOOM C function ZOOM_record_get returns record schema for type="schema".
742 Implemented HTTP Basic authentication to SRU/GET, SRU/POST and SRW requests.
744 Added new ZOOM C connection option 'sru_option' which specifies SRU version.
746 Better SRW-to-Bib-1 diagnostic mapping.
748 ZOOM C and yaz-client announces SRU version 1.2 by default.
750 yaz-client 'sru' command may specifiy both SRU version and transport (SOAP,
753 Fixed in yaz_sru_decode to allow other version than 1.1.
755 --- 3.0.10 2007/08/22
757 Added support for SRU scan for ZOOM.
759 Added support for the use of the older versions or Extended Service
760 Update in ZOOM. To faciliate this, an option "updateVersion" may be
761 set to the version , 1=first, 2=second, 3=third. The third version is
762 what ZOOM C has used so far. And that, obviously, is the default.
764 Added support for CCL queries in Z39.50 queries sent to the GFS (and
765 therefore in Zebra and in SimpleServer-based applications). The new
766 <ccl2rpn> element in a GFS configuration file, if present, names a CCL
767 qualifier file used to transform incoming CCL queries into Type-1 RPN,
768 which is passed into the back-end search callback function.
770 Added support for HTTP Basic authentication in clients: the SRU/W
771 codec encodes the username/password elements of the PDU structure
772 appropriately, and these may be set using the "user" and "password"
773 options in ZOOM-C applications (the same options that are used for
774 Z39.50 authentication).
778 Fixed bug #1208: SSL appears to be broken in ZOOM.
780 Fixed bug #1206: Libxml2 include path weirdness.
782 Added oid_name_to_dotstring.
784 Allow elementSetName to be specified for ZOOM C record update.
786 Allow waitAction to be specified for ZOOM C based for Extended Services.
788 Fixed NULL ptr reference bug in yaz-ztest - caused by omitted record
789 syntax OID. Bug introduced in YAZ 3 series.
791 Updated WIN32 build to include Libxml2 2.6.28 / Libxslt 1.1.19.
795 Fixed bug #1157: yaz-client does not read .yazclientrc from current
796 directory. yaz-client now reads commands from file given by option -f
797 if specified; then tries to read .yazclientrc in current directory.
798 Failing that, it reads .yazclientrc from user's home directory.
800 Added support for correlationInfo Note and ID for Record Update via
803 Added yaz-client command querycharset which specifies character set for
804 query terms for Z39.50 RPN queries and Z39.50 Scan Requests
805 (termListAndStartPoint).
807 Charset ISO5428:1984 is an alias for ISO5428-1984.
809 Implemented a way to perform scan in a result set using Z39.50. This
810 is achieved by attaching the result set name in the characterInfo
811 (type InternationalString) of OtherInformation in the Scan Request PDU.
812 The result set is identified in the otherinformation by the new OID:
813 USERINFO, Z3950_PREFIX.10.1000.81.4, "Scan-Set
814 This allows for scan in result set and faceted search . Zebra did some
815 of this in the APT term using attribute type 8 and value being result
816 set. Using the OtherInformation approach for this is cleaner and easier
817 to work with in proxies and the like. This facility can be used in
818 yaz-client using new command setscan which takes a result set as first
819 argument, start position (APT) as second.
821 Changed decoding of SRU XML packed records to deal with servers that
822 have recordData with XML data with multiple root nodes. Also make
823 comparison for recordPacking case insensitive. Again, one server
824 returns "XML" where others return "xml".
826 For SRU responses allow Content-Type application/xml as well as text/xml.
830 Fixed bug in character set conversion of BER strings. Bug introduced
835 For OIDs use Odr_oid type everywhere, i.e. do not assume Odr_oid=int.
837 For OID class, use oid_class consistently.
839 Fixed external handling for SUTRS and Explain records (bug appeared in 3.0
842 Added partial support for ISO5428-1984, which is the "Greek alphabet coded
843 character set for bibliographic information interchange". By Giannis Kosmas.
845 Added documentation on new OID API.
849 Changes to generic frontend server interface: added new member
850 'query_charset' for bend_initrequest structure. A backend init handler
851 should set this member to its native character set for query terms.
852 When defined, the frontend server logic will announce this character set
853 to a client if the negotiationModel bit is set by the client. All server
854 implementors are encouraged to specify this. If a backend server does not
855 specify this a warning is issued using yaz_log(YLOG_WARN,..).
857 Added CCL utility to remove terms (stop words) from resulting RPN
858 tree. This is handled by functions with prefix ccl_stop_words_ .
860 New ZOOM C option, "rpnCharset", which allows client-side conversion of
861 terms in RPN queries.
863 Clean-up the CCL API. Moved some internal structures from ccl.h to
864 private header cclp.h. Changed ccl_parser_create so that a Bibset must
865 be supplied. Removed tokenize API from ccl.h - including ccl_parser_find.
866 This is replaced by ccl_parser_find_str which takes a string instead.
868 Split YAZ library into two libs : libyaz.la and libyaz_server.la.
869 libyaz.la is the core of YAZ except the generic frontend server and
870 does not depend on POSIX threads anymore. libyaz_server.la is the
871 generic frontend server facilities and uses POSIX thread functionality
872 if available. The libyaz.la no longer depends on POSIX threads because
873 the number of global structures is limited. NMEM no longer re-uses blocks
874 between threads ; it simply free's memory immediately but allocates in
875 "large" chunks as usual. We don't expect any performance penalties
876 because of this. The yaz_log system is still using a global log_level so
877 caution must be taken when modifying it with yaz_log_init_.. +
878 yaz_log_mask_str. This, however, should not cause any trouble because
879 these functions are called during initialization of application code
880 anyway. `yaz-config --libs server` returns libs for server applications;
881 `yaz-config --libs` returns libs for non-server applications.
883 New OID database - with public definitions in oid_db.h. Removed old OID
884 database including the head oid.h and definitions such as enum oid_value
885 and struct oident. The new OID database uses the same string names as
886 before but the 'protocol' is gone. There are now only two representations
887 raw OID (int *) and string. Functions with prefix yaz_string_to_oid
888 converts from string to OID; functions with prefix yaz_oid_to_string
889 converts the other way.
891 Change to emit_term() in CQL-to-PQF query translation: when a term has
892 the /regexp relation modifier, do not process it for leading and
893 trailing "^" and "*", which have quite different meanings in regular
896 Attempted fix of bug #976: Segfault in yaz_iconv. The yaz_iconv function
897 write handlers no longer carries a 'last' parameter. This will make
898 yaz_iconv flush "less" characters. A flush is performed by call to
899 yaz_iconv(cd, 0, 0, &outbut, &outbytesleft) .
901 Definition of wrbuf_diags moved to querytowrbuf.h. Function wrbuf_put_zquery
902 removed, because function yaz_query_to_wrbuf does the same.
904 API changes to WRBUF. wrbuf_free removed; replaced by wrbuf_destroy. And
905 wrbuf_puts no longer appends '\0'. Use wrbuf_cstr to get C-string out.
907 Deprecated MARC utility functions removed.
909 Changed prototype of yaz_marc_decode_buf: const char for result and size_t
912 Branch split: YAZ_2_1_55_branch
914 --- 2.1.54 2007/03/16
916 Fix to ZOOM-C so that transparent reconnection is properly handled on
917 connections that are in asynchronous mode.
919 Fixed compilation on OpenBSD 4.0.
921 Large strings in GRS-1 records are now properly displayed in yaz-client.
923 Added character conversion support for "advancegreek"; based on patch from
926 Fixed yaz_iconv to return YAZ_ICONV_EINVAL if an incomplete MARC-8 combo
927 sequence is met. Before the error was not set so it would be unknown.
929 Adjust yaz-marcdump MARC reader so that it skips until record separator
932 --- 2.1.52 2007/03/07
934 ZOOM-C: Removed hardcoded limit of 1024 sockets in ZOOM_event_sys_poll().
935 Note that ZOOM_event_sys_select() still has the limit due to the fixed-size
936 fd_set structure used as a bitmask for the FDs to be selected on.
938 Using ACX_PTHREAD macro to check for POSIX threads.
940 Fixed have-vsnprintf check.
942 --- 2.1.50 2007/02/23
944 Fixes for configure on BSD. Bug #900.
946 Added snprintf/vsnprintf wrappers for systems that don't have
947 limits (heavens forbid).
949 Fixed bug in ZOOM-C's event and task handling. If a ZOOM task was
950 created before all previous tasks were completed and removed from the
951 task queue, the new task could be removed by a mistake.
953 Fixed bug #615: Document retrievalInfo facilities for Frontend Server.
955 Implemented pass-through CQL-to-PQF conversions. Bug #861.
957 Fixed bug #832: Problem with MARC/charset in yaz-client.
959 Fixed bug #668: save command line history for yaz-client.
961 Fixed bug #830: pkg-config support.
963 --- 2.1.48 2007/01/23
965 Extended ZOOM result set options with two options that may be read by
966 a client: resultSetStatus and presentStatus with values as specified for
968 http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/markup/04.html#Search-status
970 Fixed bug #827: Using SSL fails on Debian etch.
972 Fixed bug #826: Weird looking chars for set of MARC records.
974 Implemented alternative Item Order package for ZOOM. If option "doc" is set,
975 that is treated as an ItemOrder with itemRequest being an XML document
976 external. The value of "doc" is the content.
978 Extended the GFS search facility. New member of bend_search_rr
979 'estimated_hit_count' signals that hits is known to be an estmate
980 (higher or lower than real hit count). New member 'partial_resultset'
981 signals that the search was partial (hit count is lower or equal than
982 real hit count). For Z39.50, the information is stored in resultSetStatus
983 member of SearchResponse APDU. For SRU, the information is signalled
984 via SRU diagnostic 59: "Result set created with valid partial results
987 Switched from jade/pdfjdaetex to dblatex for Docbook documentation in PDF.
989 --- 2.1.46 2007/01/13
991 Implemented bug #806: Deal with HTTP clients sending LF in HTTP headers.
993 Added ZOOM_connection_peek_event.
995 Implemented Generic select hook for ZOOM (bug #803). This is achieved with
996 the following new functions:
997 ZOOM_event_nonblock, ZOOM_connection_process,
998 ZOOM_connection_get_{socket,mask,timeout},
999 ZOOM_connection_fire_event_{timeout,socket}.
1000 The existing blocking event handler, ZOOM_event, is a wrapper for the
1001 + blocking ZOOM_event_sys_{poll,select}.
1003 Implemented function ccl_xml_config which parses XML version of CCL
1004 configuration (bug #798).
1006 Fixed bug #797: yaz_marc_write_xml does not honor character conversion.
1008 Added timings utility (yaz/timing.h)
1010 --- 2.1.44 2007/01/03
1012 Added yaz_marc_write_xml which creates MARCXML/MarcXchange record as
1015 Fixed bug #779: Rotation of apdu.log fails.
1017 Fixed for character set conversions:
1018 Unicode to MARC-8 conversion for certain less preferred UTF-8 sequences.
1019 Honor G1 set in MARC-8 decoding.
1021 --- 2.1.42 2006/12/17
1023 Fixed bug #775: char conversion does not handle Alternative UTF-8
1026 Implemented function yaz_marc_read_line which parses MARC line format
1027 records. There is a wealth of formats out there. So far, this function
1028 reads line records produced by yaz_marc_write_line.
1030 yaz-marcdump's options -x, -X, -I, -e have been replaced with the
1031 more generic and easier to remember(!) options: -i format and -o format
1032 which specifies input format and output format respectively - where
1033 format is one of "marc", "marcxml", "line", "marcxchange".
1035 Added 'check only' option for MARC utilities. Option -n for yaz-marcdump
1036 does not print anything except warnings for records.
1038 For yaz-marcdump, added support for MARC split into files (-s) with a given
1041 Changed the SRU update structures and codecs to reflect the SRU pre 1.0
1042 spec, at http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/record-update/
1043 This has changed the binary layout of the following structs:
1044 Z_SRW_extra_record, Z_SRW_updateRequest, Z_SRW_updateResponse and
1045 bend_update_rr . Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
1047 Added GFS utility function bend_assoc_is_alive which returns 1 if
1048 association is still alive (client is connected); 0 otherwise (client
1049 closed connection). This allows busy servers to stop working for
1052 Added ziffy: the promiscuous Z39.50 APDU sniffer. until now, ziffy has
1053 been a separate piece of software. This version of ziffy has been modified
1054 to fit with YAZ. ziffy is copyright Rocco Carbone and covered by GPL v2.
1056 Fixed bug #740: Handle SRU records referring to xmlns's outside recordData.
1058 Fixed bug #722: Allow Z39.50 Init Options to be specified / retrieved.
1059 Client code may now interrogate options such as "init_opt_sort" to
1060 find out whether the server claims to support various options.
1062 --- 2.1.40 2006/11/27
1064 Added utilities yaz_{set,get}_esn to set/get element set name from
1067 Removed the build of libyazthread.la. The libyaz.so is the threaded version
1068 of YAZ and has been so since YAZ 2.1.10.
1070 Implemented ZOOM_record_error which returns error information for
1071 record (surrogate diagnostic).
1073 --- 2.1.38 2006/10/31
1075 Updates for SRU Update by Ko van der Sloot:
1076 1. Changed name from "operation" to "action"
1077 2. Fixed that that "recordIdentifier" was called "recordId". Kept the old
1078 versions in the code, marked as 'backward compatible'.
1079 3. Added diagnostics for SRU Update.
1081 Fixed bug #709: Records are fetched in wrong format when tasks are queued.
1083 Fixed bug #707: CQL->RPN ignores lines with leading spaces.
1085 Fixed bug #706: XML hex encoding UTF-8 chars out of range 0-255.
1087 For GFS, fixed problem with SRU diagnostic 'First record position out of
1088 range' being issued for 0 hits.
1090 zoomtst10 part of Windows Build.
1092 --- 2.1.36 2006/10/13
1094 Implemented yaz_filepath_comp which splits a path into file path
1095 components (required by Zebra 2.0.3+).
1097 Change wording of YAZ license to the 'Revised BSD License'. YAZ has used a
1098 BSD inspired license until now so this should not have any real impact on
1099 anybody. See http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php
1101 Fixed bug #687: Missing log lines.
1103 Fixed bug #678: CQL to PQF translation does not preserve double-quote
1106 Fixed bug #689: SRU diagnostics to be added.
1108 Implemented new ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_is_idle, which checks
1109 whether a connection is idle (no more work do do).
1111 --- 2.1.34 2006/10/04
1113 Change type of optval from long to int for invocation of setsockopt with
1114 the SO_REUSEADDR option. Thanks to Ateeq A. Altaf, Talis.
1116 Added support for specifying the max log file size for the Generic
1117 Frontend Server. The size is given with option -r.
1119 --- 2.1.32 2006/09/21
1121 Fix problem introduced in YAZ 2.1.28 WRT unix sockets in the ZOOM code.
1123 --- 2.1.30 2006/09/17
1125 Fixes for getaddrinfo use, Bugs #655 + #660. These bugs were introduced
1128 Fixed bug in Generic Frontend Server that could cause a server to stop
1129 accepting new connections. Bug only seen on dual CPU Windows 2003 server.
1131 For the generic frontend server, the maximum record size is used as maximum
1132 size of incoming packages (SRU + Z39.50). The value until was previously
1133 only used in Z39.50 Init negotiation and, later, in a session controlled
1134 sizes of records returned. This is controlled using -k option. It can be
1135 specified, per server, with element maximumrecordsize in YAZ' GFS XML config.
1137 --- 2.1.28 2006/09/04
1139 TCP/IP comstack uses getaddrinfo now to resolve names. It should be IPV6
1142 Fixed bug #644: Using Non Reentrant gethostbyname causes SIGSEGV.
1144 New option for yaz-marcdump -lpos=value which allows setting a portion
1145 of MARC header to a certain value.
1147 Fixes for MARC generation when encoded as MARC-8 (bug 642, 643).
1149 ZOOM-C reads option extraArgs. If set the value of extraArgs is appended to
1150 SRU URI (POST/GET). Value must be URL encoded, such as x-id-a=v1&x-id-b=v2 .
1152 --- 2.1.26 2006/08/15
1154 Fixed problem with SRU mode type (soap, get, post) for yaz-client
1157 Fixed problem another problem with ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_RECORD . Bug #626.
1159 --- 2.1.24 2006/08/08
1161 Fixed MARC ISO2709 encoding routines to deal with character set
1164 Minor changes to GFS logging. Database included in search request log
1167 Fixes for ZOOM-C: event ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_RECORD was not generated for
1168 cached/multiple records.
1170 Shared libraries are built by default on Unix+configure.
1172 Changed cql2pqf transformation to use a different evaluation order. The
1173 new order is: always, relation, structure, position, truncation, index
1174 and relationModifier. Old order was: always, relation, relationModifier,
1175 structure, index, position, truncation. Note that the the latter ones
1176 override former ones for identical attributes.. The new scheme means that
1177 it is possible to override any existing attribute with a relationModifier.
1178 And also that it is possible to override everything for the index rule
1179 (except the ones listed in relationModifier). No order is perfect but this
1180 one, we believe, covers more real cases.. The "always" should have been
1181 called "default", since the attributes there can be overridden with all
1184 For Libxml2 and friends, YAZ defines YAZ_HAVE_{XML2,XSLT,EXSLT) in the
1185 compilation phase, but also for yaz-config --cflags output. This allows
1186 us to have public headers with Libxml2 stuff in them . It should also,
1187 eventually, make Libxml2 checks redundant in packages using YAZ, such
1190 --- 2.1.22 2006/06/15
1192 Changed SRU update structure bend_update_rr so that SRU diagnostics are
1193 stored in uri, message and details.. Previously diagnostics were stored
1194 in errcode, errstring. Patch by Ko van der Sloot. Breaks binary
1195 compatibility.. but he's probably the only one affected, so.
1197 Added support for CCL, compiled on the client side, in ZOOM-C. This
1198 is invoked using ZOOM_query_ccl2rpn() with the CCL configuration as
1199 input; the resulting query objects can be used for for searching with
1200 ZOOM_connection_search() and scanning with ZOOM_connection_scan1().
1202 YAZ' configure searches for OpenSSL by default.
1204 SSL comstack uses SL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file rather than
1205 SL_CTX_use_certificate_file. See
1206 http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/yazlist/2006-June/001615.html
1207 for more info. Thanks to Ko van der Sloot.
1209 --- 2.1.20 2006/06/02
1211 Bug #600: SRU GET, POST support for yaz-client. Introduced
1212 command 'sru' which selects method SOAP/GET/POST.
1214 Allow missingValueAction to be specified for the sortspec string -
1215 function yaz_sort_spec. By default, the missing value action is null.
1216 Use ! to specify "abort". Use = followed by stringvalue to specify default
1219 Ensured that Present-handler (if defined) is called in GFS before any call to
1220 fetch-hhndler. This now includes piggy-backed presents as well as SRW/U
1221 searchRetrieve requests.
1223 Documentation for YAZ is now based on the Docbook XML/XSLT using
1224 xsltproc + N Walsh's stylesheets. It means that the CVS version of YAZ
1225 is no longer depending on jade/openjade or docbook-to-man scripts.
1226 PDF is no longer part of the distribution - but can optionally be
1227 made using DSSSL/jadetex or FOP.
1229 Added retrieval handling support in Generic Frontend Server to support
1230 conversion between MARC/XML as well as XSLTtransforms. See
1231 etc/yazgfs.xml for an example.
1233 Added Authentication support to Generic Frontend Server in SRU
1234 mode. Authentication using HTTP Basic is supported, as is the use
1235 of 'x-username' and 'x-password' parameters in the request itself.
1237 Added support for a new character set MARC8s identical to MARC8 except
1238 that it converts combined characters to single Unicode characters in the
1239 Latin-1 range (when possible).
1241 --- 2.1.18 2006/04/24
1243 ASN.1 compiler 0.4: generates brief Doxygen file header for
1244 generated .h/.c files.
1246 Utility yaz_iconv now supports conversion to MARC-8.
1248 New facilities for the MARC module. The reading - and writing of
1249 content are separate methods for the yaz_marc_t handle. The following
1250 read functions are available: yaz_marc_read_iso2709 (Reads MARC in
1251 ISO2709 format), yaz_marc_read_xml (reads MARC in MARCXML/MarcXchange
1252 format). Write functions have prefix yaz_marc_write_.. The existing
1253 utilities yaz_marc_decode_wrbuf and yaz_marc_decode_buf are still
1254 available. Removed support for OAI-MARC and simplexml (not the
1255 simplexml from PHP5).
1257 Added a new ZOOM event type ZOOM_EVENT_END which signals no more events
1258 to be returned for this connection.
1260 --- 2.1.16 2006/03/31
1262 Allow multiple languages and charsets to be specified with
1263 yaz-client. Each item must be separated by comma (NO BLANKS). E.g.
1264 negcharset iso-8859-1,utf-8
1266 Translation of proximity nodes from CQL into PQF now works.
1268 Moved to automake 1.8, 1.9.
1270 Added function yaz_log_set_handler which allows a log handler to be
1271 installed. This handler will be called for all log messages. Output
1272 to file is also produced; but that can be disabled by passing NULL
1273 fname to yaz_log_init_file.
1275 Fixed another problem with MARC-8 -> ISO-8859-1 conversions. Bug #537.
1277 For SRW (including GFS), accept application/soap+xml as content-type
1280 For GFS in SRU mode, an empty stylesheet in SRU URL (&stylesheet=&)
1281 produces NO stylesheet reference even if a default stylesheet is specified
1284 --- 2.1.14 2006/03/14
1286 Updated Windows package to include yazd.dll + yazd.lib for the
1287 Development component.
1289 If the environment variable YAZ_LOG is set, then it is used as a
1290 string indicating the default level of logging to use if not
1291 overridden by calls to yaz_log_init() or yaz_log_init_level(). If
1292 it's not defined, then the manifest constant YLOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL is
1293 used as before. So, for example, to omit warnings from YAZ logging,
1294 export YAZ_LOG=-warn
1296 cql_transform() now map structure and other attributes before indexes,
1297 so that index-specific structures and other attributes can override
1298 defaults. So now a combination of mapping specifications such as:
1300 index.dc.date = 1=date-modified 4=5
1301 does the right thing.
1303 cql_transform() now also respects the "always" mapping specification,
1304 which establishes an initial set of attributes to be used for all
1305 terms except where overridden by more specific attributes associated
1306 with the index, relation or modifier.
1308 Added SRU-GET and SRU-POST support for ZOOM C. Option "sru" specifies
1309 which mode to use; one of "post", "get" or "soap" (SRW, default).
1311 Fixes for yaz_iconv routines: changed trie-based character set conversions
1312 to use only non-negative values for bit fields due to Sun's C compiler not
1313 supporting negative values.
1315 Fixed bug in character set conversion yaz_iconv. Some three byte UTF-8
1316 sequences where not read correctly. Fix by Rustam Usmanov.
1318 Updated win/makefile to use options, settings which makes things
1319 compile with VS C 2005.
1321 --- 2.1.12 2006/02/01
1323 Fixed bug in yaz_oi_update which used incorrect value for categoryValue.
1325 In ZOOM socket code, use select instead of poll on MacOSX.
1327 ZOOM-C now support client-side compilation of CQL into RPN that is
1328 sent to the server, enabling CQL to be used against all Z39.50
1329 servers. Use ZOOM_query_cql2rpn() to set the compiled CQL into a
1330 ZOOM_query object, and submit it using ZOOM_connection_search().
1331 The CQL-to-RPN translation uses a configuration file, the name of
1332 which must be specified in the Connection's "cqlfile" option.
1334 ZOOM-C also support CQL scanning, via the new ZOOM_connection_scan1()
1335 function, which takes as its start-term parameter a ZOOM_query object
1336 (which may have had either CQL or RPN set into it).
1339 --- 2.1.10 2005/11/29
1341 Added ZiNG Update Support. New codecs are defined in srw.h. Extended the
1342 GFS to support this as well. Backend handler, bend_srw_update, does the
1343 update work. Code contributed by Ko van der Sloot.
1345 Allow retrieval of Search Result-1 information in ZOOM by the use of
1346 options that are attached to a result set. ZOOM documentation updated
1349 Fixed bug #416: First/second comb characters not handled in the MARC-8 to
1350 UTF-8 conversion. Patch by Raj Patel.
1352 Added option -m to GFS to control formatting of timestamps in log file.
1354 Added 'exit' as synonym for 'quit' in yaz-client
1356 Added support for specifying SRW resultSetId + resultSetIdleTime in a
1357 Generic Frontend Server's search handler. Refer to include/yaz/backend.h
1358 for the new members. Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
1360 Added support for SRU POST. It is supported for content-type
1361 application/x-www-form-urlencoded only. Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
1363 Do not build the separate Multi-threaded (MT) library libyazthread.la.
1364 Instead make the library libyaz.la multi-threaded. Threading as a whole
1365 can still be disabled by configure option --disable-threads. Previosly,
1366 with older GLIBCs there were problems with MT libs under Apache. This
1367 has now been fixed a long time ago.
1369 Fixed bugs in yaz_log that occurred on Sparc Solaris in Multi-threaded
1372 CQL module modified to be case insensitive for relations/indexes/operations.
1374 Fixed bug in CQL transform code: incorrect value relationModifieder
1377 Added 'show all' command for yaz-client which retrieves all results
1380 Added new yaz-client, xmles, which takes a (private) OID and
1381 a document to be sent as an extended service request.
1383 Describe new yaz-client commands wait_response and set_auto_wait.
1385 Increase TCP/IP listener backlog from 3 (which I am guessing was
1386 copied from the SunOS manual entry way back when) so SOMAXCONN, so
1387 that the socket will queue as many incoming connections as it's able
1388 to handle ongoing connections. In other words, it will never now
1389 refuse a connection that it would be able to handle merely because
1390 it's not got around to accepting() enough of the pending connections
1391 yet. This is the behaviour anyway under Linux, where the listen()
1392 argument is ignored; but not under BSD and on systems such as
1393 MS-Windows that use BSD-derived TCP/IP stacks. The behaviour of
1394 YAZ-based servers should now be uniform across operating systems in
1397 yaz-marcdump uses 64-bit file access on some systems. This is enabled
1398 on Linux and other Unix variants where _FILE_OFSET_BITS=64 is supported.
1399 This allows yaz-marcdump to read large MARC batches (>2 GB).
1401 Modified all YAZ source files - except the source which is auto-generated
1402 by tools - to use spaces rather than TABS. Emacs/VIM trailer added to
1405 Add ZOOM_connection_option_getl() and ZOOM_options_getl(),
1406 corresponding to the existing *_setl() function. These allow option
1407 values containing arbitrary valuues.
1409 Add ZOOM_resultset_sort1(), which should ALWAYS be used in place of
1410 ZOOM_resultset_sort() in new applications. Its behaviour is identical
1411 except that it returns an indicator of whether or not the sort
1412 criterion was accepted (0 for OK, -1 for invalid).
1414 --- 2.1.8 2005/06/07
1416 Fixed bug in yaz_marc_decode_buf. By mistake the routine appended
1417 MARC output rather than returning "new" buffer.
1419 yaz-client warns about unknown init options.
1421 Fixed bug #371: "options concurrentOperations ignores concurrentOperations"
1423 --- 2.1.6 2005/05/24
1425 Added support for SRW sort in Generic Frontend Server. Patch
1426 by Ko van der Sloot. Member srw_sortKeys in bend_search_rr holds
1427 sortKeys - or NULL if none is provided.
1429 Fixed bug #307: It was impossible to specify indefinite/no timeout
1430 for ZOOM_event. Special timeout value -1 now means indefinite timeout
1433 Added support for multiple languages and charsets to be specified in
1434 ZOOM. Each charset/language is separated by a blank. If negotiation is
1435 in effect in init-response, Option
1436 "negotiation-charset-in-effect-for-records" set to 1(true) or 0(false).
1437 Code based on patch by Vasiliy Osadchuk.
1439 Fixed bug #306: infinite recursion that occurred when calling
1440 yaz_log_level_init as the first call (before other log level or
1443 Fixed bug in scan handling in front end server: if preferred-Position-In-
1444 Response was non-present, a NULL pointer referece was performed.
1446 --- 2.1.4 2005/04/26
1448 Changed include/yaz/diagbib1.h and added include/yaz/diagsrw.h with
1449 diagnostic messages+codes for Bib-1 and SRW. Preprocessor defines are
1450 now defined for all those error codes. So instead of putting 109 in
1451 your program you'd use YAZ_BIB1_DATABASE_UNAVAILABLE. The messages
1452 are generated from a .csv - file. See src/bib1.csv and srw/srw.csv.
1454 Modified the yaz-marcdump utility to skip garbage bytes between MARC
1457 Fixed bug - uninitialized memory - due to bad code for fix of bug #272.
1459 Program yaz-client now exits and produces an error message if multiple
1460 Z39.50 servers are specified on the command line (none or one allowed
1463 Program yaz-marcdump skips garbage bytes between ISO2709 records rather
1466 --- 2.1.2 2005/03/16
1468 Fixed bug #273: Update for recent MARC-8 -> UNICODE changes.
1470 Fixed bug #272: Preserve spacing for CCL terms.
1472 --- 2.1.0 2005/03/14
1474 Added support for virtual hosts and multiple backend servers for
1475 the YAZ frontend server. The configution is XML based and
1476 support specificition of CQL to RPN mappings and explain information.
1477 See section "Virtual Hosts" in the YAZ manual.
1479 Extended OPAC display utility. OPAC display utility renders
1480 bibliographic (MARC) record as well. Added yaz_opac_decode_wrbuf
1481 to supplement yaz_marc_decode_wrbuf.
1483 Fixed a bug in MARC decoder that could caused it to crash for some
1484 invalid MARC records. More diagnostics and warnings where added in
1485 XML output (warnings, etc are stored in comments).
1487 --- 2.0.34 2005/02/08
1489 Fixes for UNIX domain sockets. Bug #261.
1491 Fixes for MARC-8 to UTF-8 conversion. Bugs #258 and #260.
1493 Fixed bug #263: YAZ MARCXML dump shows extra spaces after control fields.
1494 Added yaz_marc_subfield_str which defines subfield lead string which is
1495 used in YAZ_MARC_LINE format. Default string is blank+$. Added
1496 yaz_marc_endline_str which defines end of fields string used in
1497 YAZ_MARC_LINE format. Default string is newline.
1499 Experimental support for MarcXChange. This format can be produced
1500 by yaz-marcdump and is implemented in yaz_marc_decode - functions.
1501 http://www.bs.dk/standards/MarcXchange.xsd
1503 Added yaz-client commands scansize that sets maximum number of
1504 entries to be returned by scan.
1506 --- 2.0.32 2005/01/11
1508 Added support for SRW scan in yaz-client and Generic Frontend Server.
1510 * Added whereInList member to SRW Scan Term.
1512 * Changed Z_SRW_scanRequest to be able to carry both CCL and PQF.
1514 Fixed NMEM system to return aligned blocks on the smallest boundaries
1515 that are suitably aligned for all possible types on the particular
1516 architecture YAZ is being built for.
1518 --- 2.0.30 2005/01/04
1520 Fixed numerious warnings that was issued with newer versions of GCC.
1522 Fixed NMEM system to return aligned blocks on 8 byte boundaries rather
1523 than 4 bytes, since 4 may not be enough on some systems such as GCC 3.4.3
1526 Make YAZ Generic Frontend Server slightly faster.
1528 Enhance (and reduce) logging for Generic Frontend Server.
1530 Revert YAZ log system so that it flushes every write operation
1531 by default. (YAZ 2.0.26 and earlier verisons did that). Bug #240.
1533 Modified the YAZ logging system. The LOG level defines use YLOG_ prefix
1534 instead of LOG_, due to name clash with syslog(3). LOG_ are still
1535 present. New applications should define YAZ_USE_NEW_LOG=1 - this
1536 will effectively disable old definitions.
1538 --- 2.0.28 2004/11/09
1540 Added yaz_log_time_format which specifies log format using
1543 Added yaz_log_module_level which returns mask for a module. Value
1544 is non-zero mask a if module is enabled; zero if disabled.
1546 * Fixed bug #148: CQL parser may leak. A few prototypes were changed
1547 in include/yaz/cql.h.
1549 Fixed bug #176: Dont throw diagnostics on empty SRU args.
1551 Fixed bug #175: surrogate diagnostics in SRW lacking NS.
1553 Fixed bug #172: RPM builds does not enable SSL.
1555 Doxyfile.in part of dist. Doxyfile generated by configure.
1557 Configure aborts if any of --with-xml2, --with-openssl, --enable-tcpd
1558 are given and the corresponding component does not exist.
1560 Extend CCL documentation in YAZ reference. Describe r=r.
1562 --- 2.0.26 2004/10/01
1564 Fixed MARC->MARCXML conversion to properly deal with
1565 fields, subfields, indicators having non-ASCII characters.
1567 Fixed MARC->MARCXML conversion so that ASCII control characters
1568 except TAB,CR,LF are removed from resulting XML (XML 1.0 does not
1571 Added YAZ GFS support for conversion from Z39.50 surrogate
1572 diagnostics to SRW surrogate diagnostics.
1574 Bug fix: YAZ GFS did not return schema in explainResponse.
1576 --- 2.0.25 2004/09/30
1578 The YAZ GFS when converting SRW/SRU requests to Z39.50 structures
1579 now converts recordSchema to elementSetName as well as schema URI.
1581 Fixed bug in COMSTACK that prevented HTTP request packages from being
1584 --- 2.0.24 2004/09/29
1586 Added CCL facility r=r "range" which is similar to r=o "ordered" but
1587 does not require white-space before and after the dash in a range, e.g.
1588 x=-1990 is equivalent to x <= 1990 iff r=r, but equivalent to x= -1980
1591 Fixed a few AC_TRY_LINK configure tests that did not operate properly
1592 due to new GCC removing "redundant" code.
1594 Added yaz-client commands scanpos and scanstep that sets preferred
1595 position and step-size for scan.
1597 Macro YAZ_INIT in yaz.m4: option --with-yazconfig renamed to --with-yaz.
1599 Added CCL utility ccl_qual_buf which parses one or more CCL
1600 spec lines in a buffer.
1602 Added CCL utility ccl_qual_line which adds CCL qualifier line consisting
1603 of name and value - ignoring empty lines and comments.
1605 On Windows, the debug DLL/import lib is now named yazd.{dll,lib}.
1607 Added odr_get_element_path which returns current element path for an
1608 ODR handle. This utility is useful in error handling or user-defined
1611 Added ODR_PRINT utility odr_set_stream which is is a more generic
1612 alternative to odr_setprint. odr_set_stream takes a stream handle, pointer
1613 to a write function and pointer to close function. The close function - if
1614 non-NULL - will be called during odr_destroy.
1616 Fixed bug in CCL parser where truncation char was not removed from
1617 right side when truncation=both was in effect.
1619 Fixed CQL parser to use unsigned chars for isxxx from ctype.h due
1622 --- 2.0.23 2004/08/11
1624 Fix buffer overrun in CQL parser when dealing with proximity (%).
1626 Fixes for MARC-8 in yaz_iconv character set utilies. The MARC-8
1627 to UTF-8/UCS conversion is now only based on codetables.xml.
1629 yaz_marc_decode_buf sets leader pos 9 to "a" for MARCXML output.
1631 --- 2.0.22 2004/08/06
1633 Add support for more "commit changes" in ZOOM (uses Extended Services).
1635 For yaz-client, command set_marcdump <file> / -m <file> dumps SUTRS/XML/..
1638 Yet another small fix for configure of SSL.
1640 --- 2.0.21 2004/05/14
1642 Fix SSL libs for configure when --with-openssl=DIR is given.
1644 --- 2.0.20 2004/05/10
1646 Add autoconf m4 macro YAZ_DOC for YAZ documentation setup (docbook).
1648 SSL comstack now uses yaz.pem certificate file on server side
1649 by default. Certificate filename can be configured by calling
1650 comstack function cs_set_ssl_certificate_file before cs_bind is used.
1652 Fix bug regarding multiple calls to ZOOM_connection_connect.
1654 Implement cs_set_ssl_ctx which sets SSL_CTX for SSL comstack.
1656 Do not create SSL_CTX in cs_create (ssl_type). Create in tcpip_bind,
1657 tcpip_rcvconnect instead. This allows user to set custom SSL_CTX.
1659 ZOOM now allows inspection of X509 peer certificate for verification.
1660 The X509 buffer is retrived by reading ZOOM option "sslPeerCert".
1662 Removed libyazssl.la. When SSL is enabled, libyaz.la has SSL support and
1663 all programs have too (yaz-ztest, yaz-client, zoom..). May not be
1664 as "modular" but it simplifies things.
1666 Added cs_get_peer_certificate to that returns peer X509 PEM.
1668 Added cs_get_ssl that returns SSL handle (SSL *) for SSL comstack; returns
1669 NULL if SSL is unavailable.
1671 Documentation about MARC decoding tools.
1673 Fix --disable-tcpd to really disable tcpd. Patch by Robin H. Johnson.
1675 --- 2.0.19 2004/03/30
1677 Rename CHANGELOG to NEWS to follow GNU style packing.
1679 Fix bug with missing initialization of member in init_diagnostics.
1680 This bug affects threaded version of GFS server.
1682 --- 2.0.18 2004/03/20
1684 Use wrbuf_xmlputs_n instead of wrbuf_write_cdata to avoid clash with
1687 Ensure zlib.dll is packed with Windows install.
1689 --- 2.0.17 2004/03/17
1691 Fix encoding of xsd:string to use text instead of CDATA.
1693 Fix endless loop in CQL parser with unbalanced ".
1695 Use a more compact way to store MARC-8 conversion tables.
1697 --- 2.0.16 2004/03/16 Debian only
1699 Oleg Kolobov Fixed a bug in yaz_iconv regarding conversion to
1702 Update CQL parser to use new CQL 1.1 modifiers for booleans and
1707 --- 2.0.15 2004/03/01
1709 Another fix for decoding of XML packed records.
1711 --- 2.0.14 2004/02/25
1713 Fixes for Chunked encoding. White space not ignored after length spec.
1715 Update NS and use default NS for SRW diagnostic elements.
1717 --- 2.0.13 2004/02/23
1719 Implement ZOOM_resultset_cache_reset which resets record cache.
1721 Implement ZOOM_resultset_sort which sorts a result set.
1723 Implement chunked HTTP transfer.
1725 For SSL, use -lssl -lcrypto on systems that don't have pkg-config.
1727 --- 2.0.12 2004/02/16
1729 Added member 'schema' to bend_explain_rr structure so that backend
1730 can specify explain record identifier. Defaults to Zeerex 2.0.
1732 Fix encoding of OID's of form 1.0.X. Bug introduced in 2.0.11.
1734 --- 2.0.11 2004/02/16
1736 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates: updated diagnostic in srw.h to use uri instead
1739 Added init command for yaz-client which sends "extra" init request.
1741 Fixed two bugs in OID codec - ber_oidc. Throw error when encoding/decoding
1742 bad truncated OID. Fix decoding of OID X.Y... when X=2 and Y>39.
1744 Fixed a bug in ASN.1 compiler that caused Type-1 Operator codec to fail.
1746 Make ZOOM error code for "invalid query".
1748 Fixed compilation for SSL which wasn't properly enabled for all platforms.
1750 --- 2.0.10 2004/02/05
1752 For yaz.m4, allow second argument for YAZ_INIT to hold minimal version of
1755 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates. Diagnostic code now a URI.
1757 Added option -p <file> to make Generic Frontend Server to write PID file.
1759 Added option -D to put Generic Frontend Server in background on its own.
1761 Make ZOOM C recognize option "password". If unset, "pass" is used
1762 (for backwards compatibility).
1764 Fixed a bug in Generic Frontend Server that could make it crash if a
1765 client sets characterSetNegotation bit, but didn't pass negotiation stuff
1768 New YAZ client command, zversion, that sets Z39.50 version (1,2,3..).
1769 Must be issued before open, in order to be in effect.
1771 --- 2.0.9-6 2004/01/12 Debian/Windows
1773 Make the SRU server more picky WRT unknown params, etc.
1775 Bug fix: ZOOM scan response didn't return displayTerm - when present.
1777 New YAZ client command, options, that sets Z39.50 options.
1779 New utility functions yaz_init_opt_{encode,decode} to encode/decode Z39.50
1780 options from a string of tokens (one token for each option bit).
1782 Update SRW diagnostic code messages.
1784 --- 2.0.9-5 2004/01/07 Debian/Windows
1786 Handle user defined stylesheet for SRW/SRU.
1788 --- 2.0.9-4 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
1790 Fix bug in decoding of Content-Length.
1792 --- 2.0.9-3 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
1794 Fix a bug with decoding of XML packed records.
1796 --- 2.0.9-2 2004/01/05 Debian only
1798 Allow empty ODR (NMEM=0) for odr_oiddup and odr_getoidbystr.
1800 Fix bug in SRW/SRU diagnostics decoding.
1802 --- 2.0.9 2004/01/05
1804 Fixed bug in Generic Frontend Server which could drop records exceeding
1805 preferred message size. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
1807 Fixed calculation of package size for structured records in Generic
1808 Frontend Server. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
1810 Fixed namespace for SRW/SRU diagnostics.
1812 Fixed SEGV in yaz-client that occured for HTTP connection errors.
1814 --- 2.0.8 2003/12/22
1816 * SRW/SRU 1.1. Since the Namespace has changed for SRW/SRU, it means that
1817 this version is incompatible with version 1.0 and older YAZ SRW/SRU
1820 CQL changes to reflect recent changes to the specification:
1821 * Documentation talks about context sets instead of index sets.
1822 * Documentation talks about indexes instead of qualifiers.
1823 * The CQL-to-PQF transformer's configuration file now uses
1824 "index.set.name = <attributes>" instead of the old form
1825 "qualifier.set.name = <attributes>". (Both forms are still
1826 understood but the latter is deprecated.)
1827 * CQL terms with no explicit index specified are now interpreted as
1828 cql.serverChoice instead of srw.serverChoice (which of course
1829 behaves exactly the same.)
1831 --- 2.0.7 2003/12/16
1833 MARC conversion can now generate ISO2709 output in another
1834 character set. yaz-marcdump uses this facility if you invoke it
1837 Added missing C decl macros for include/yaz/{soap.h,srw.h,cql.h}, so that
1838 functions from there can be used from C++.
1840 --- 2.0.6 2003/12/04
1842 Frontend server now transfers memory from decoded packages to stream
1845 NMEM now clears freed blocks with 'Y' (hex 59) to force bad memory
1846 references to show up.
1848 ZOOM-C now supports standard ZOOM option names as described in v1.4 of
1849 the ZOOM Abstract API. The older names for the same options are still
1850 also supported for the benefit of old applications.
1852 ZOOM-C supports "implementationId" and "implementationVersion" options
1853 to go along with "implementationName". These allow the user code to
1854 specify identification strings to be sent to servers.
1855 Add OID for the new ExtLite attribute set.
1857 Add OIDs for NACSIS-CATP, FINMARC2000 and MARC21-fin record-syntaxes,
1858 as requested/supplid by Ere Maijala <ere@atp.fi>
1860 For generic frontend server, reverse the order of
1861 "toolkit-supplied / application-supplied" strings sent as implementationId,
1862 Name and Version. Also, remove the spaces around the slash. This brings
1863 the GFS in line with the behaviour of ZOOM-C on the client side.
1865 Add function ZOOM_scanset_display_term.
1867 yaz-client shows scan displayTerm if present.
1869 Utility yaz-iconv is now installed by default along with the man page
1872 Extend configure check for OpenSSL to use pkg-config where available (such
1875 Incorporate patch by Morten Bogeskov which allows a Unix file socket
1876 server to specify uid/gid/mask for socket using the format
1877 unix:[user=uid,][group=gid,][umask=mask,]file=path
1878 If file= is omitted the existing format is assumed, e.g.
1880 in which case the mask is 0666 (rw for everybody).
1882 Major restructure of YAZ source. All source in libyaz is in src directory.
1883 Programs in client (yaz-client), ztest (yaz-ztest), zoom (zoom programs),
1884 util (utility programs such as ASN.1 compiler, yaz-marcdump).
1886 Added man page for utility yaz-marcdump (used to be called marcdump).
1887 yaz-marcdump is installed by 'make install'.
1889 Fixed a memory leak in Generic Frontend Server that occurred when decoding
1890 of incoming package failed.
1892 Fixed a potential DOS attack vulnerability in COMSTACK/ODR.
1894 Change prototype of odr_perror: add const to message string.
1896 New function yaz_log_reopen which reopens log file (for log rotate, etc.)
1898 * Blocking parameter for COMSTACK cs_create is now a bit mask rather
1899 than a blocking flag. Bit 0 is set for blocking, reset for non-blocking.
1900 Bit 1 is set if cs_addrstr should avoid DNS lookup; reset for full
1901 DNS lookup. There should not be any compatibility problems with this
1902 assuming that blocking=1 or 0 is used.
1904 Fix bad reference in UNIX comstack in function cs_addrstr.
1906 Fix for compilation on AIX.
1908 The generic front-end server (server/seshigh.c) now supports returning
1909 Init diagnostics to the client in User-information-field, in
1910 accordance with Z35.90 Implementor Agreement 5 (Returning diagnostics
1913 --- 2.0.4 2003/09/04
1915 Allow any CQL relation (not just all,any,exact,scr).
1917 Fixes for OCLC UI ASN.1 to make it work with SilverPlatter targets
1918 that features the same UI.
1920 Implemented command update0 in YAZ client which is equivalent to
1921 update but uses old of Ext Update ASN.1.
1923 Use OID 1.2.840.10003.15.1000.81.1 for privately defined charsets
1924 in charset negotiation. Added VAL_ID_CHARSET in oid.h.
1925 Previously no OID was used for this info.
1927 ZOOM uses smallSetUpperBound=1 instead of 0 for piggyback searches.
1928 It apparantely upsets EBSCO Publishing IR Z39.50 Server which
1929 returns 'malformed search term' otherwise.
1931 SortResponse member resultCount now set to NULL in sort handler of
1934 OPAC support ZOOM. ZOOM_record_get returns OPAC info (as XML) if
1937 Add three new utility functions for translating OIDs between various
1938 formats -- symbolic name such as "Usmarc", minus-1-terminated int
1939 arrays and dotted strings such as "1.2.840.10003.9.5.1":
1940 int *oid_name_to_oid(oid_class oclass, const char *name, int *oid);
1941 char *oid_to_dotstring(const int *oid, char *oidbuf);
1942 char *oid_name_to_dotstring(oid_class oclass, const char *name, char *oidbuf);
1944 Reverted modifications for ES Update definition for z_IU0Update
1945 (OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and 1.2.840.10003.9.5). The definition
1946 is back to YAZ 2.0.2.
1948 String value attributes for CCL parser.
1950 Support for OCLC's locally registered "OCLC-UserInformation" PDU,
1951 which their FirstSearch server returns in Init responses, sometimes
1952 carrying useful diagnostic information when Init fails. This has the
1953 OID 1.2.840.10003.10.1000.17.1 and is defined in the file
1954 "z39.50/oclcui.asn", where its definition is somewhat different from
1955 what OCLC document on their web-site, as required to interoperate with
1958 Support for anonymous authentication in yaz-client. Use the command
1961 * Fix the OID of the Index Data-local "admin" Extended Service from
1962 1.2.840.10003.9.81.1 to 1.2.840.10003.9.1000.81.1. The omission of
1963 the 1000, which indicates a locally-defined OID, was a mistake.
1965 --- 2.0.3 2003/06/20
1967 Fix CCL directive @case handling so that it affects string match for
1968 both CCL keywords and qualifiers.
1970 * ESFormat-Update updates. Packages with OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and
1971 1.2.840.10003.9.5 are now handled by the same decoder z_IU0Update .
1972 Decoder has been updated with ASN.1 changes as listed in
1973 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/updateES.html
1974 Note that the "latest" DB Update, OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1.1 , handler
1975 z_IUUpdate, remains unchanged.
1977 ZOOM_record_get may now return a record in a specific character set.
1978 For type use "form; charset=from[,to]" where form (render, xml, ..) ,
1979 "from" is the character set of record as returned by target. "to" is
1980 the character set to be returned. If omitted, "to" is UTF-8.
1982 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed from yaz-comp to yaz-asncomp
1984 New ODR utility, odr_getelement, which returns name of element for
1985 which encoding/decoding failed.
1987 Fixed ODR so that it returns error code OREQUIRED rather than ONONE
1988 in cases where a required element was omitted.
1990 Bug fix: some MARC8 sequences were not converted.
1992 New ZOOM option "step" which specifies number of records to be
1993 retrieved in one chunk. Used in conjunction with "start" and "count".
1995 SRW support for yaz-client. Use scheme http: to use it, e.g.
1998 yaz-client no longer does (un)intelligent character set conversions
1999 by default. Can be enabled with charset and marc_charset commands.
2001 xmalloc trace fix for 64-bit systems such as DEC alpha.
2003 Solaris 2.6 compile fix.
2005 New function, cql_strerror() translates SRW error codes, as returned
2006 by cql_transform_error(), into human-readable English strings. Used
2007 in yaz-client diagnostics when appropriate.
2009 New CQL2RPN query-type for the command-line yaz-client, parses CQL and
2010 converts it into a type-1 query which is sent to the server. This
2011 makes CQL available for use with all Z-servers, as opposed to the tiny
2012 minority that can handle CQL queries themselves.
2014 --- 2.0.2 2003/04/28
2016 New Debian package layout similar to the Redhat Package layout.
2018 New ZOOM events ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_{RECORD,SEARCH} for receiving a record
2019 and search result respectively.
2021 --- 2.0.1 2003/04/25
2023 Redhat package is now several packages: libyaz (runtime libraries),
2024 libyaz-devel (development and documentation, and yaz (utility programs).
2025 Package spec file by Morten Bogeskov.
2027 New member 'schema' in struct bend_fetch_rr which the name of requested
2028 schema (SRW/SRU) for record (or NULL if none was given). The fetch
2029 handler MAY set this to reflect the schema of the returned record.
2031 New member 'display_term' in struct scan_entry. GFS now sets member entries
2032 and allocates scan entries to be filled by user scan handler. In previous
2033 version, entries member was allocated by the scan handler. That still works,
2034 but the GFS will ignore member display_term - assuming it was NOT set by
2035 the handler. The fact that the GFS now allocates the entries both allows
2036 for new members and makes a scan handler easier to write.
2038 Fix CQL lex buffer overflow.
2040 SRW/SRU recordPacking. For SRW default recordPacking is string. For
2041 SRU default recordPacking is string.
2043 SRU protocol support for frontend server.
2045 Fix compile bug for systems that have nl_langinfo but CODESET undefined.
2047 Added missing PQF transform rules for <= and >= . Thanks to Peter Popovics.
2049 Added scan for the ZOOM shell (zoomsh).
2053 * String Identifers for Schemas (Amendment 5).
2054 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am5.html
2055 Old definition for schema
2056 Odr_oid *schema; /* OPT */
2061 Z_InternationalString *uri;
2062 #define Z_Schema_oid 1
2063 #define Z_Schema_uri 2
2066 * resultCount parameter to Sort Response (Amendment 1).
2067 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am1.html
2069 Support for SRW 1.0 over HTTP. This is an optional feature and
2070 requires libxml2 to operate. Enable SOAP by specifying --with-xml2
2073 Generic frontend server supports HTTP/SOAP/SRW and Z39.50/BER
2074 on the same port. SRW SearchRetrieveRequests are mapped
2075 to bend_init,bend_search,bend_fetch,bend_close.
2077 Z39.50 Query Type-104 added - to facilitate CQL within Z39.50.
2079 CQL support. Source is directory 'cql'. CQL is supported in ZOOM
2080 (both SRW and Z39.50) and the YAZ client (Z39.50 only).
2082 ZOOM connections are SRW based if schem http is used for hostname
2083 in connect, e.g. z = ZOOM_connection_new("http://myserver");
2084 ZOOM_query may be of type CQL, e.g. ZOOM_query_cql(q, "dc.title=x");
2086 CCL proximity operators !n, %n converts to PQF @prox 0 n 1 2 k 2
2087 and @prox 0 n 0 1 k 2 respectively, meaning: exlusion=false,
2088 distance=n, order=true/false, relation=le, prox unit=word. If
2089 n is omitted, distance 1 is used.
2091 Fixed problem with C compiler include path in wrong order.
2093 For TCP/IP COMSTACK, set recv buffer to an appropriate "large" value
2094 on Solaris. Patch from Ko van der Sloot.
2096 New MARC decode API. All new functions operate on a yaz_marc_t
2097 handle. The most important new functions are: yaz_marc_create,
2098 yaz_marc_decode_{buf,wrbuf}, yaz_marc_destroy, .. to create handler,
2099 decode and destroy respectively. Decoder can produce formats
2100 MARC line, simple XML, OAI MARC and MARC XML (LoC). See
2101 include/yaz/marcdisp.h.
2103 YAZ Iconv utility now supports MARC8 decoding (marc8.c). Converts
2104 to UTF-8, UCS-32, wchar_t or Latin-1.
2106 * Prototypes for yaz_iconv_-functions moved to separate header
2107 include/yaz/yaz-iconv.h.
2109 Make a few private functions 'static' in unix.c. This prevents
2110 duplicate unix_close in PHP with YAZ and imap. PHP Bug 20977.
2112 For ZOOM connection, the options targetImplementation{Id,Name,Version}
2113 are set when Init Response is received.
2115 New function ZOOM_connection_error_x similar to ZOOM_connection_error
2116 but returns diagnostic set as well.
2118 New function yaz_strerror which is a portable wrapper for
2119 strerror/strerror_r/GetLastMessage.
2121 * ZOOM_record_get supports type "xml" in which case MARC XML (from LOC)
2122 is returned for MARC. If type is "oai", then OAI MARC is returned.
2124 Fix creation of lib/yaz-config so it works if srcdir != objdir. Patch
2127 --- 1.9.2 2002/11/26
2129 yaz_marc_decode uses OAI MARC as XML format for ISO2709 records.
2131 Fix bad race conditions on SIGTERM and terminate gracefully in
2134 Move retrieval (data1) module to Zebra since nobody seems to be
2137 Add GRS-1 render for ZOOM using same format as yaz-client.
2139 --- 1.9.1 2002/10/05
2141 Added man pages: yaz-client(1), yaz-ztest(8), yaz(7), zoomsh(1).
2143 Fix broken ESpec handling in data1 module.
2145 SGML reader parses comments and makes them part of the data1 tree.
2147 Added several type casts so that YAZ compiles as C++ code.
2149 ZOOM didn't handle PDU encoding failures properly.
2151 Added more Bib-1 diagnostics (approved extensions).
2153 GNU configure: better check for iconv.
2155 More portable use of accept, getpeername. Check for socklen_t. Use
2156 int/size_t if socklen_t is not defined.
2160 PQF parser rejects bad queries - including those with extra
2161 characters in them. PQF parser used to silently ignore that.
2162 Cleaner API for PQF added, which allows you to get detailed
2163 error information for bad queries (see yaz/pquery.h).
2165 Fixed bug in ZOOM_record_get for type "database".
2167 Implemented mini iconv library supporting conversions between
2168 UTF-8, UCS4, UCS4LE and ISO-8859-1. Implemented in util/siconv.c.
2170 * Removed XML reader (d1_expat.c). It's part of Zebra instead.
2172 --- 1.8.9 2002/08/20
2174 Fixed ZOOM C record cache so that preferredRecordSyntax and
2175 elementSetName is used to check for already fetched records.
2177 --- 1.8.8 2002/08/02
2179 Added three members in bend_initrequest structure to facilitate
2180 character set negotiation.
2182 Fixed a bug in frontend server that could cause indefinite
2183 loops under rare conditions.
2185 Revised character set utilities (charneg.h) so that encoding
2186 UCS-4, UCSA-4, UTF-16 and UTF-8 are encoded non-privately.
2188 For PQF, directive @term <type> sets term type for Scan/Search.
2189 Here <type> is general, string, numeric, null. The term type
2190 is inherited - just like @attr.
2192 New call odr_set_charset that sets character set conversion for
2193 international-strings on a ODR stream. Prototype is:
2194 int odr_set_charset(ODR o, const char *to, const char *from);
2195 The InternationalString is still represented as C string in YAZ
2196 so native strings of type UTF-8, ASCII, etc. will work (UTF-16
2197 won't). On the protocol level, you can use any encoding.
2199 Support for UNIX sockets in ZOOM.
2201 Solaris recv sometimes returns errno == ENOENT. It is treated as
2202 EINPROGRESS. COMSTACK patch by Ko van der Sloot.
2204 New COMSTACK of type UNIX Socket. Use "unix:/path" as address for
2205 both client and server. Code by Morten Bogeskov.
2207 --- 1.8.7 2002/05/22
2209 On Windows ZOOM functions are of type __stdcall rather than __cdecl, so
2210 that they can be used directly from Visual Basic. You must recompile
2211 your windows APP if you're using ZOOM.
2213 Character Set and Language Negotiation(3) for ZOOM API and YAZ client.
2214 Commands "lang" and "charset" sets language and character set respectively.
2215 Options "lang" and "charset" is interpreted by the ZOOM API. Note, these
2216 are not part of the official ZOOM spec) All is due to Oleg Kolobov.
2218 Attributes from multiple CCL fields may be OR'ed rather than merged
2219 using directive "@field or". Fields are still merged by default -
2220 equivalent to "@field merge".
2222 Fixed bug in ZOOM connect that occurred on OpenBSD (maybe others). Patch
2225 Fixed bug in zget for parameter ExtendedServicesResponse.
2229 --- 1.8.6 2002/03/25
2231 Added PQF feature: '@attr type=value' may be written as '@type=value'.
2233 Client displays USR.1:SearchResult-1 (hits per term).
2235 Additional Search Info for search in Generic Frontend Server.
2237 Fixed CCL parsing of "field=s".
2239 WIN32 installer - using the excellent NSIS software from nullsoft.
2241 Fixed CCL parsing of "field = - <number>".
2243 Added function yaz_marc_decode that decodes MARC for line mode
2244 display or XML (similar to that used by JZKit).
2246 Fixed BER decoding of OPTIONAL CHOICE. The bug didn't affect the
2247 Z39.50. But ISO/ILL was, however.
2249 Added patch by Rustam T. Usmanov that implements Z39.50 duplicate
2250 detection service (Z39.50-1995 Amendment 2) and Language Negotiation (3).
2252 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am2.html
2253 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/charneg-3.html
2255 --- 1.8.5 2002/02/03
2257 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
2258 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
2259 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
2261 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
2263 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
2264 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
2266 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
2267 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
2268 is user, group and password.
2270 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
2272 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
2273 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
2274 server and yaz-ztest.
2276 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
2278 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
2280 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
2281 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
2283 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
2286 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
2287 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bogeskov.
2289 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
2291 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
2292 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
2294 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
2296 --- 1.8.4 2002/01/04
2298 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
2299 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
2300 ZOOM_scanset_destroy.
2302 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
2303 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
2306 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies schema for retrieval.
2308 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
2309 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
2311 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
2313 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
2314 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
2317 Working on Debian packages.
2319 --- 1.8.3 2001/11/19
2321 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
2323 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
2325 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
2326 with key="host" to get same result.
2328 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
2329 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
2330 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
2332 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
2335 --- 1.8.2 2001/11/12
2337 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
2339 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
2341 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
2342 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
2343 were changed to size_t.
2345 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
2348 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
2349 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
2351 --- 1.8.1 2001/10/29
2353 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
2357 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
2359 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
2361 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
2363 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
2365 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
2367 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
2369 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
2370 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
2372 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
2373 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
2375 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
2376 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
2378 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
2379 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
2380 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
2382 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
2384 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
2385 waitIfPossible (was wait).
2387 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
2390 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
2391 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
2393 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
2395 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
2396 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
2398 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
2400 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
2402 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
2403 set was specified for scan.
2405 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
2406 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
2409 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
2410 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
2411 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
2413 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
2414 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
2415 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
2416 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
2419 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
2420 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
2421 address. Only tested on UNIX.
2423 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
2424 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
2428 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
2429 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
2430 (such as other PHP extensions).
2432 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
2433 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
2435 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
2436 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bogeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
2438 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
2440 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
2441 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
2442 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
2443 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
2444 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
2445 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
2446 thing a single DLL/SO.
2448 Added Segment handler for backend server.
2450 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
2452 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
2453 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
2457 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
2458 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
2459 located in sub directory asn.
2461 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
2462 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
2465 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
2467 Added several OID's.
2469 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
2470 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
2473 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
2477 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
2478 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
2479 (default is /usr/local).
2481 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
2482 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
2483 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
2485 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
2486 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
2487 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
2488 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
2489 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
2490 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
2491 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
2492 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
2494 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
2495 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
2496 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
2499 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
2500 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
2501 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
2504 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
2505 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
2506 a service is started/stopped.
2508 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
2509 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
2510 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
2511 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
2512 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
2513 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
2514 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
2515 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
2516 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
2517 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
2520 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
2521 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
2523 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
2524 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
2525 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
2526 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
2527 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
2528 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
2529 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
2530 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
2532 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
2533 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
2534 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
2535 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
2536 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
2538 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
2539 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
2541 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
2542 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
2544 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
2546 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
2548 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
2549 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
2551 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
2552 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
2553 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
2554 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
2555 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
2556 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
2557 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
2558 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
2559 will support both versions.
2561 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
2562 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
2563 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
2565 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
2566 contain positionOfTerm.
2568 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
2569 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
2570 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
2572 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
2573 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
2574 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
2575 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
2576 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
2579 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
2580 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
2581 in include/backend.h.
2583 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
2584 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
2585 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
2588 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
2589 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
2590 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
2592 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
2594 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
2595 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
2597 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
2598 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
2600 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
2601 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
2604 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
2606 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
2607 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
2608 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
2610 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
2612 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
2614 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
2616 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
2618 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
2619 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
2621 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
2622 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
2623 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
2626 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
2627 parent wasn't initialised.
2629 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
2630 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
2631 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
2633 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
2635 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
2636 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
2637 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
2638 using Odr_arm - as in:
2639 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
2641 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
2643 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
2644 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
2645 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
2647 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
2649 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
2651 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
2652 the following requests.
2654 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
2655 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
2656 in the Init handler.
2658 * Changed interface for sort in server.
2660 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
2661 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
2662 to Charles Woodfield.
2664 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
2665 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
2667 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
2668 and date/time-last-modified.
2670 --- 1.4pl2 1998/1/30
2672 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
2673 was introduced by release 1.4.
2675 --- 1.4pl1 1998/1/29
2677 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
2679 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
2681 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
2684 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
2685 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
2686 of the use of this feature.
2688 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
2689 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
2691 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
2692 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
2694 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
2695 of - group of elements.
2697 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
2699 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
2702 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
2704 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
2705 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
2706 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
2708 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
2709 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
2711 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
2713 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
2717 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
2719 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
2720 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
2722 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
2723 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
2724 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
2725 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
2726 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
2727 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
2730 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
2731 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
2733 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
2736 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
2737 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
2738 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
2739 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
2740 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
2742 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
2743 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
2744 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
2746 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
2747 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
2750 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
2751 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
2752 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
2753 This function is thread safe.
2755 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
2756 in 'server' directory.
2758 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
2760 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
2761 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
2763 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
2765 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
2767 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
2769 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
2770 release of RPN structure.
2772 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
2773 With input from RVDM.
2775 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
2776 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
2778 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
2780 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
2781 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
2783 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
2785 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
2787 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
2789 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
2791 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
2795 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
2797 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
2799 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
2801 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
2803 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
2805 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
2807 Added Update extended service.
2809 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
2811 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
2814 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
2816 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
2818 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
2820 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
2822 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
2824 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
2826 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
2828 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
2830 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
2832 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
2833 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
2835 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
2837 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
2839 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
2841 --- 1.1pl2 1996/4/10
2843 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
2847 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
2848 endpoints in dynamic mode.
2850 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
2851 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
2853 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
2854 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
2855 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
2857 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
2859 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
2860 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
2863 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
2864 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
2866 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
2867 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
2869 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
2870 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
2872 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
2875 --- 1.0pl4 1996/1/24
2879 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
2880 the rank and record number.
2882 Adjustments to the frontend server.
2884 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
2888 Various changes to retrieval module.
2890 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
2891 ints paired with #defines.
2893 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
2896 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
2899 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
2901 --- 1.0pl2 1995/12/6
2903 Memory bug in log module fixed.
2905 --- 1.0pl1 1995/12/5
2907 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
2909 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
2911 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
2915 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
2916 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
2917 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
2918 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
2920 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
2922 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
2924 Added Espec-1 format.
2926 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
2927 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
2928 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
2930 Demo client can request simple element set names.
2932 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
2934 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
2935 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
2937 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
2939 --- 1.0b3 1995/08/24
2941 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
2942 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
2943 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
2945 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
2946 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
2949 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
2951 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
2952 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
2953 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
2955 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
2958 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
2959 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
2961 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
2962 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
2964 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
2965 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
2966 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
2967 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
2968 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
2970 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
2971 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
2973 --- 1.0b2 1995/06/27
2974 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
2976 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
2978 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
2979 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
2980 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
2981 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
2982 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
2983 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
2984 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
2985 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
2987 Documentation updated accordingly.
2989 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
2993 First public release.
