1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
5 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
6 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
7 Code provide by Jacob Poulsen.
9 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
11 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
12 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
14 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
15 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
16 is user, group and password.
18 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
20 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
21 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
24 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
26 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
28 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
29 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
31 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
34 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
35 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
37 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
39 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
40 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
42 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
46 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
47 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
50 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
51 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
54 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies shema OID for retrieval.
56 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
57 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
59 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
61 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
62 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
65 Working on Debian packages.
69 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
71 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
73 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
74 with key="host" to get same result.
76 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
77 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
78 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
80 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
85 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
87 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
89 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
90 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
91 were changed to size_t.
93 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
96 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
97 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
101 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
105 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
107 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
109 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
111 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
113 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
115 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
117 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
118 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
120 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
121 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
123 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
124 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
126 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
127 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
128 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
130 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
132 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
133 waitIfPossible (was wait).
135 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
138 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
139 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
141 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
143 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
144 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
146 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
148 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
150 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
151 set was specified for scan.
153 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
154 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
157 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
158 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
159 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
161 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
162 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
163 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
164 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
167 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
168 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
169 address. Only tested on UNIX.
171 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
172 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
176 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
177 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
178 (such as other PHP extensions).
180 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
181 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
183 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
184 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
186 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
188 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
189 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
190 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
191 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
192 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
193 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
194 thing a single DLL/SO.
196 Added Segment handler for backend server.
198 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
200 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
201 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
205 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
206 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
207 located in sub directory asn.
209 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
210 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
213 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
217 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
218 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
221 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
225 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
226 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
227 (default is /usr/local).
229 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
230 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
231 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
233 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
234 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
235 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
236 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
237 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
238 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
239 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
240 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
242 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
243 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
244 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
247 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
248 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
249 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
252 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
253 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
254 a service is started/stopped.
256 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
257 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
258 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
259 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
260 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
261 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
262 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
263 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
264 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
265 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
268 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
269 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
271 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
272 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
273 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
274 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
275 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
276 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
277 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
278 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
280 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
281 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
282 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
283 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
284 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
286 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
287 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
289 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
290 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
292 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
294 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
296 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
297 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
299 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
300 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
301 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
302 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
303 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
304 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
305 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
306 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
307 will support both versions.
309 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
310 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
311 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
313 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
314 contain positionOfTerm.
316 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
317 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
318 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
320 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
321 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
322 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
323 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
324 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
327 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
328 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
329 in include/backend.h.
331 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
332 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
333 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
336 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
337 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
338 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
340 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
342 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
343 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
345 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
346 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
348 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
349 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
352 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
354 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
355 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
356 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
358 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
360 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
362 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
364 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
366 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
367 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
369 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
370 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
371 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
374 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
375 parent wasn't initialised.
377 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
378 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
379 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
381 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
383 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
384 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
385 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
386 using Odr_arm - as in:
387 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
389 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
391 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
392 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
393 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
395 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
397 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
399 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
400 the following requests.
402 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
403 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
406 * Changed interface for sort in server.
408 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
409 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
410 to Charles Woodfield.
412 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
413 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
415 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
416 and date/time-last-modified.
420 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
421 was introduced by release 1.4.
425 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
427 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
429 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
432 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
433 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
434 of the use of this feature.
436 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
437 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
439 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
440 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
442 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
443 of - group of elements.
445 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
447 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
450 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
452 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
453 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
454 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
456 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
457 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
459 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
461 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
465 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
467 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
468 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
470 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
471 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
472 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
473 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
474 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
475 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
478 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
479 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
481 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
484 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
485 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
486 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
487 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
488 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
490 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
491 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
492 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
494 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
495 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
498 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
499 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
500 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
501 This function is thread safe.
503 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
504 in 'server' directory.
506 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
508 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
509 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
511 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
513 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
515 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
517 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
518 release of RPN structure.
520 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
521 With input from RVDM.
523 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
524 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
526 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
528 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
529 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
531 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
533 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
535 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
537 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
539 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
543 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
545 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
547 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
549 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
551 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
553 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
555 Added Update extended service.
557 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
559 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
562 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
564 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
566 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
568 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
570 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
572 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
574 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
576 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
578 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
580 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
581 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
583 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
585 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
587 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
591 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
595 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
596 endpoints in dynamic mode.
598 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
599 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
601 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
602 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
603 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
605 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
607 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
608 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
611 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
612 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
614 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
615 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
617 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
618 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
620 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
627 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
628 the rank and record number.
630 Adjustments to the frontend server.
632 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
636 Various changes to retrieval module.
638 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
639 ints paired with #defines.
641 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
644 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
647 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
651 Memory bug in log module fixed.
655 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
657 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
659 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
663 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
664 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
665 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
666 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
668 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
670 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
672 Added Espec-1 format.
674 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
675 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
676 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
678 Demo client can request simple element set names.
680 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
682 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
683 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
685 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
689 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
690 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
691 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
693 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
694 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
697 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
699 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
700 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
701 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
703 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
706 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
707 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
709 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
710 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
712 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
713 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
714 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
715 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
716 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
718 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
719 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
722 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
724 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
726 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
727 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
728 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
729 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
730 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
731 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
732 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
733 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
735 Documentation updated accordingly.
737 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
741 First public release.
