Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy. 1.02 [IN PROGRESS] - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum address-space size as well as number of file descriptors. - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying hashval mod n == i - Add new command-line options -m , to invoke restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to test one seventh of the targets each night. - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses) rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420. - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response. Test result is saved in the new element - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in the new element for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any". - The web UI displays this new information in full-record view. - A target can be disabled from participating in testing by setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for omitting targets that make long test runs take too long. - Improve input validation for new targets. - New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy maintenance. - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399 - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more reliable. - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server response was in lowercase "usmarc". - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time. - Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv package in the Macports collection. - _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy identifiers. - Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for record-syntax support using the wrong preferredRecordSyntax. 1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007 - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly accessible -- although admin privileges are still required to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple way to know that the person editing a record is the same person who first added it. - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated. - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex record, not an entire SRU explainResponse. 1.00 Mon Jul 9 10:42:06 BST 2007 - First public release. - Many, many changes since 0.02. 0.02 Wed Jun 27 12:09:49 BST 2007 - Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy - Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the list of targets beginning with "R". - Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a space-separated string. - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple target IDs even if they contain spaces. - Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters. - Proper HTML-quoting of all output. - Capture YAZ logging output for web display. - Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration. - Much better "Add a target" form, including: - Name - URL to hosting organisation - Email to technical contact - Username/password if needed - Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate, Special, National, Education or Other) - Country. - "Add another database to this target" button. - Form for editing details of an existing target. - Require authentication for database-changing operations such as target testing, adding a new target and editing and existing one. - Add statistics page like that one at http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters. - Many, many more enhancements. 0.01 Wed Apr 5 15:53:47 2006 - original version; created by h2xs 1.23 with options -X --name=Net::Z3950::IRSpy --compat-version=5.8.0 --omit-constant --skip-exporter --skip-ppport
