1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
5 Fixed BER decoding of OPTIONAL CHOICE. The bug didn't affect the
6 Z39.50. But ISO/ILL was, however.
8 Added patch by Rustam T. Usmanov that implements Z39.50 duplicate
9 detection service (Z39.50-1995 Amendment 2) and Language Negotiation (3).

16 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
17 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
18 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
20 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
22 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
23 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
25 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
26 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
27 is user, group and password.
29 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
31 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
32 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
35 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
37 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
39 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
40 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
42 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
45 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
46 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
48 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
50 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
51 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
53 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
57 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
58 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
61 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
62 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
65 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies shema OID for retrieval.
67 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
68 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
70 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
72 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
73 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
76 Working on Debian packages.
80 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
82 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
84 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
85 with key="host" to get same result.
87 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
88 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
89 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
91 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
96 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
98 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
100 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
101 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
102 were changed to size_t.
104 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
107 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
108 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
112 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
116 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
118 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
120 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
122 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
124 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
126 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
128 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
129 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
131 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
132 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
134 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
135 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
137 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
138 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
139 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
141 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
143 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
144 waitIfPossible (was wait).
146 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
149 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
150 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
152 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
154 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
155 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
157 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
159 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
161 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
162 set was specified for scan.
164 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
165 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
168 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
169 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
170 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
172 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
173 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
174 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
175 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
178 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
179 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
180 address. Only tested on UNIX.
182 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
183 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
187 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
188 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
189 (such as other PHP extensions).
191 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
192 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
194 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
195 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
197 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
199 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
200 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
201 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
202 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
203 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
204 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
205 thing a single DLL/SO.
207 Added Segment handler for backend server.
209 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
211 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
212 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
216 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
217 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
218 located in sub directory asn.
220 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
221 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
224 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
228 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
229 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
232 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
236 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
237 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
238 (default is /usr/local).
240 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
241 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
242 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
244 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
245 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
246 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
247 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
248 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
249 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
250 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
251 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
253 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
254 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
255 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
258 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
259 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
260 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
263 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
264 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
265 a service is started/stopped.
267 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
268 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
269 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
270 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
271 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
272 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
273 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
274 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
275 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
276 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
279 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
280 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
282 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
283 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
284 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
285 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
286 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
287 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
288 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
289 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
291 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
292 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
293 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
294 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
295 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
297 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
298 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
300 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
301 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
303 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
305 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
307 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
308 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
310 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
311 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
312 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
313 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
314 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
315 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
316 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
317 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
318 will support both versions.
320 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
321 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
322 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
324 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
325 contain positionOfTerm.
327 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
328 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
329 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
331 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
332 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
333 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
334 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
335 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
338 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
339 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
340 in include/backend.h.
342 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
343 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
344 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
347 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
348 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
349 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
351 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
353 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
354 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
356 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
357 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
359 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
360 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
363 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
365 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
366 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
367 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
369 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
371 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
373 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
375 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
377 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
378 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
380 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
381 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
382 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
385 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
386 parent wasn't initialised.
388 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
389 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
390 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
392 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
394 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
395 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
396 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
397 using Odr_arm - as in:
398 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
400 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
402 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
403 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
404 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
406 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
408 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
410 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
411 the following requests.
413 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
414 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
417 * Changed interface for sort in server.
419 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
420 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
421 to Charles Woodfield.
423 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
424 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
426 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
427 and date/time-last-modified.
431 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
432 was introduced by release 1.4.
436 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
438 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
440 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
443 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
444 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
445 of the use of this feature.
447 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
448 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
450 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
451 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
453 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
454 of - group of elements.
456 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
458 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
461 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
463 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
464 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
465 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
467 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
468 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
470 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
472 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
476 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
478 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
479 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
481 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
482 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
483 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
484 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
485 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
486 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
489 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
490 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
492 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
495 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
496 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
497 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
498 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
499 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
501 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
502 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
503 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
505 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
506 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
509 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
510 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
511 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
512 This function is thread safe.
514 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
515 in 'server' directory.
517 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
519 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
520 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
522 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
524 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
526 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
528 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
529 release of RPN structure.
531 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
532 With input from RVDM.
534 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
535 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
537 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
539 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
540 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
542 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
544 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
546 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
548 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
550 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
554 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
556 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
558 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
560 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
562 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
564 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
566 Added Update extended service.
568 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
570 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
573 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
575 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
577 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
579 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
581 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
583 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
585 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
587 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
589 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
591 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
592 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
594 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
596 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
598 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
602 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
606 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
607 endpoints in dynamic mode.
609 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
610 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
612 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
613 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
614 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
616 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
618 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
619 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
622 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
623 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
625 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
626 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
628 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
629 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
631 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
638 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
639 the rank and record number.
641 Adjustments to the frontend server.
643 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
647 Various changes to retrieval module.
649 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
650 ints paired with #defines.
652 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
655 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
658 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
662 Memory bug in log module fixed.
666 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
668 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
670 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
674 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
675 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
676 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
677 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
679 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
681 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
683 Added Espec-1 format.
685 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
686 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
687 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
689 Demo client can request simple element set names.
691 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
693 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
694 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
696 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
700 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
701 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
702 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
704 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
705 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
708 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
710 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
711 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
712 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
714 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
717 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
718 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
720 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
721 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
723 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
724 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
725 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
726 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
727 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
729 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
730 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
733 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
735 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
737 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
738 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
739 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
740 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
741 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
742 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
743 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
744 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
746 Documentation updated accordingly.
748 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
752 First public release.
