15 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
16 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
17 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
19 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
21 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
22 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
24 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
25 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
26 is user, group and password.
28 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
30 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
31 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
34 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
36 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
38 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
39 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
41 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
44 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
45 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
47 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
49 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
50 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
52 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
56 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
57 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
60 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
61 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
64 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies shema OID for retrieval.
66 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
67 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
69 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
71 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
72 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
75 Working on Debian packages.
79 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
81 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
83 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
84 with key="host" to get same result.
86 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
87 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
88 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
90 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
95 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
97 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
99 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
100 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
101 were changed to size_t.
103 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
106 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
107 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
111 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
115 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
117 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
119 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
121 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
123 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
125 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
127 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
128 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
130 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
131 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
133 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
134 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
136 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
137 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
138 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
140 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
142 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
143 waitIfPossible (was wait).
145 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
148 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
149 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
151 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
153 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
154 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
156 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
158 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
160 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
161 set was specified for scan.
163 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
164 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
167 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
168 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
169 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
171 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
172 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
173 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
174 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
177 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
178 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
179 address. Only tested on UNIX.
181 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
182 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
186 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
187 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
188 (such as other PHP extensions).
190 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
191 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
193 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
194 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
196 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
198 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
199 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
200 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
201 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
202 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
203 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
204 thing a single DLL/SO.
206 Added Segment handler for backend server.
208 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
210 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
211 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
215 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
216 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
217 located in sub directory asn.
219 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
220 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
223 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
227 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
228 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
231 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
235 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
236 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
237 (default is /usr/local).
239 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
240 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
241 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
243 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
244 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
245 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
246 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
247 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
248 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
249 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
250 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
252 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
253 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
254 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
257 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
258 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
259 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
262 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
263 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
264 a service is started/stopped.
266 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
267 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
268 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
269 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
270 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
271 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
272 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
273 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
274 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
275 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
278 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
279 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
281 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
282 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
283 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
284 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
285 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
286 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
287 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
288 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
290 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
291 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
292 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
293 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
294 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
296 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
297 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
299 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
300 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
302 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
304 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
306 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
307 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
309 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
310 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
311 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
312 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
313 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
314 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
315 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
316 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
317 will support both versions.
319 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
320 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
321 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
323 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
324 contain positionOfTerm.
326 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
327 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
328 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
330 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
331 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
332 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
333 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
334 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
337 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
338 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
339 in include/backend.h.
341 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
342 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
343 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
346 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
347 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
348 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
350 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
352 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
353 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
355 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
356 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
358 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
359 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
362 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
364 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
365 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
366 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
368 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
370 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
372 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
374 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
376 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
377 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
379 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
380 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
381 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
384 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
385 parent wasn't initialised.
387 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
388 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
389 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
391 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
393 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
394 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
395 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
396 using Odr_arm - as in:
397 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
399 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
401 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
402 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
403 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
405 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
407 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
409 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
410 the following requests.
412 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
413 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
416 * Changed interface for sort in server.
418 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
419 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
420 to Charles Woodfield.
422 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
423 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
425 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
426 and date/time-last-modified.
430 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
431 was introduced by release 1.4.
435 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
437 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
439 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
442 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
443 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
444 of the use of this feature.
446 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
447 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
449 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
450 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
452 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
453 of - group of elements.
455 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
457 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
460 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
462 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
463 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
464 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
466 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
467 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
469 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
471 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
475 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
477 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
478 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
480 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
481 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
482 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
483 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
484 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
485 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
488 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
489 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
491 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
494 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
495 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
496 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
497 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
498 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
500 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
501 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
502 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
504 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
505 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
508 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
509 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
510 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
511 This function is thread safe.
513 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
514 in 'server' directory.
516 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
518 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
519 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
521 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
523 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
525 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
527 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
528 release of RPN structure.
530 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
531 With input from RVDM.
533 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
534 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
536 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
538 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
539 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
541 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
543 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
545 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
547 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
549 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
553 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
555 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
557 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
559 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
561 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
563 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
565 Added Update extended service.
567 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
569 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
572 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
574 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
576 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
578 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
580 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
582 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
584 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
586 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
588 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
590 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
591 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
593 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
595 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
597 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
601 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
605 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
606 endpoints in dynamic mode.
608 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
609 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
611 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
612 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
613 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
615 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
617 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
618 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
621 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
622 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
624 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
625 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
627 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
628 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
630 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
637 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
638 the rank and record number.
640 Adjustments to the frontend server.
642 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
646 Various changes to retrieval module.
648 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
649 ints paired with #defines.
651 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
654 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
657 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
661 Memory bug in log module fixed.
665 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
667 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
669 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
673 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
674 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
675 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
676 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
678 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
680 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
682 Added Espec-1 format.
684 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
685 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
686 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
688 Demo client can request simple element set names.
690 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
692 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
693 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
695 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
699 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
700 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
701 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
703 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
704 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
707 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
709 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
710 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
711 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
713 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
716 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
717 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
719 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
720 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
722 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
723 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
724 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
725 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
726 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
728 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
729 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
732 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
734 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
736 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
737 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
738 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
739 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
740 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
741 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
742 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
743 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
745 Documentation updated accordingly.
747 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
751 First public release.
