1 Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
4 - Liberalise hostname validation regexp, so that hyphens are
7 1.02 Wed Jul 7 16:43:36 BST 2010
8 - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
9 address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
10 - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
11 targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
13 - Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
14 restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
15 test one seventh of the targets each night.
16 - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
17 be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
18 rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
19 - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
20 multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
21 Test result is saved in the new element
22 <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
23 - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
24 respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
25 the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
26 for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
27 - The web UI displays this new information in full-record
29 - A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
30 setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can
31 be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for
32 omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
33 - Improve input validation for new targets.
34 - New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
36 - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
37 - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
38 if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
39 up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
40 complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
42 - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
43 you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
44 response was in lowercase "usmarc".
45 - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
46 - Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
47 the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
48 package in the Macports collection.
49 - _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for
50 comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
52 - Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
53 record-syntax support using the wrong
54 preferredRecordSyntax.
55 - Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
56 failure. Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
57 - irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
58 - Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
59 - robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.
61 1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
62 - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
63 accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
64 to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
65 way to know that the person editing a record is the same
66 person who first added it.
67 - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
68 guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
69 - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
70 record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.

94 Special, National, Education or Other)
96 - "Add another database to this target" button.
97 - Form for editing details of an existing target.
98 - Require authentication for database-changing operations
99 such as target testing, adding a new target and
100 editing and existing one.
101 - Add statistics page like that one at
102 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
103 - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
104 ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
105 - Many, many more enhancements.
