1 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::SimpleServer
3 1.18 Mon Oct 14 11:23:17 CEST 2013
4 - Debian/RPM packagesr now built with YAZ 5.
6 1.17 Tue Feb 12 13:30:52 CET 2013
7 - Scan and Search handler gets EXTRA_ARGS . It's represented as
8 a hash. It holds the extra arguments for SRU (URL).
9 - Scan and Search handler may return extra response data in
10 EXTRA_RESPONSE_DATA. That's an XML fragment for SRU extra
12 - Scan Term may include a DISPLAY_TERM (Z39.50 / SRU display term).
13 Thanks to Simon Jacob for patch.
15 1.16 Thu Jan 10 13:22:01 CET 2013
16 - Create packages for Ubuntu quantal precise oneiric.
17 - Add support for GFS start handler (START) to allow handling
18 of GFS config file (-c).
19 - Handler search now gets PRESENT_NUMBER - a hint for how many
20 records are to be fetched following search (piggyback).
22 1.15 Fri Oct 14 14:01:18 CEST 2011
23 - Fix decoding of OUTPUTFACETS (optinal) ; crashed on some Perl
26 1.14 Thu Aug 18 08:47:13 UTC 2011
27 - Support for facets in search handler
28 - Corrections to manual, kindly supplied by Ben Webb
29 <bjwebb67@googlemail.com>
30 - Resolve contradictory licence terms: SimpleServer is now
31 definitely distrbuted under the Revised BSD licence, whereas
32 earlier versions claimed in the source code to be Revised
33 BSD but in the README to be under the same terms as Perl.
35 1.13 Wed Mar 16 17:07:10 GMT 2011
36 - The SimpleServer test-script now uses a Unix-domain socket,
37 with a filename generated from the process-ID, rather than
38 the default Inet-document socket on port 9999. Hopefully
39 this should resolve the race-condition problems that have
40 been affecting the "make test" part of the build cycle when
41 building packages for four systems simultaneously under
44 1.12 Thu Feb 4 16:33:19 GMT 2010
45 - Remove handling of "hits" parameter in the present handler.
46 That should never have been there (and was probably sloppy
47 copy), and prevents compilation under YAZ 4, which has
48 removed the member from the bend_present_rr structure.
50 1.11 Wed Mar 4 15:12:53 GMT 2009
51 - Add explicit statement of license (same terms as Perl).
52 No functional changes.
54 1.10 Tue Mar 3 22:47:16 GMT 2009
55 - Document the init-handler's PEER_NAME argument.
56 - Update URL into YAZ documentation.
57 - bend_delete() no longer returns without value.
58 - Route around ActivePerl's damage to the "open" symbol.
60 1.09 Mon Sep 10 15:54:38 BST 2007
61 - *Argh* Another mixed statement/declaration.
63 1.08 Mon Sep 10 12:15:29 BST 2007
64 - *Sigh* Fix mixed statement/declaration.
66 1.07 Sat Sep 1 10:31:26 BST 2007
67 - When the scan-handler callback returns, do not attempt to
68 copy the terms from Perl structures if the error-code is
69 non-zero (i.e. if an error has occurred). This protects
70 against a segmentation fault when the Perl callback does not
71 explicitly set $args->{NUMBER} = 0 on error.
72 - Correct transcription of string-valued attributes in
74 - Scan handler is now passed RPN as well as TERM, a tree of
75 Perl structures representing the entire scan clause
76 including access-points and other attributes (which are
78 - The various classes used to represent nodes in the RPN query
79 tree (Net::Z3950::APDU::Query, Net::Z3950::RPN::And,
80 Net::Z3950::RPN::Or, Net::Z3950::RPN::AndNot,
81 Net::Z3950::RPN::Term and Net::Z3950::RPN::RSID) now all
82 share a newly introduced superclass Net::Z3950::RPN::Node,
83 making it possible to write methods that apply to all node
85 - A utility method toPQF() is provided for
86 Net::Z3950::RPN::Node, enabling the RPN tree to be converted
87 back into a flat PQF query.
88 - Add support for the Delete Result Set service.
89 - Add documentation for the Sort service.
90 - Some clarifications to documentation.
92 1.06 Fri Aug 10 23:30:00 BST 2007
93 - New global-handle element can be specified when creating a
94 simple-server object and will be passed to all callback
95 functions. This allows global state to be eliminated from
96 SimpleServer applications ... finally!
97 - Search handler now deals correctly with undefined addinfo:
98 previously a (harmless) error message was emitted.
99 - Add Perl API to yaz_diag_srw_to_bib1(), which SimpleServer
100 applications will need if they access SRU/SRW back-end
101 databases and need to report errors.
102 - Add Perl API to yaz_diag_bib1_to_srw(), because it would
103 seem churlish not to.
105 1.05 Wed Dec 27 13:19:13 CET 2006
106 - Taking new naming convention for YAZ constants into account.
108 1.04 Fri Dec 1 10:48:32 CET 2006
109 - Build such that SimpleServer links to new yaz shared object.
111 1.03 Tue Aug 8 17:27:16 BST 2006
112 - Rely on version 2.1.14 or later of YAZ; this is the first
113 version that reliably passes through the additional
114 information associated with errors generated while serving
115 SRU/W requests. No functional differences since 1.02.
117 1.02 Wed Jul 26 12:09:50 BST 2006
118 - Better support for Open and User/Password authentication.
119 - SimpleServer.xs's rpn2pquery() is now discarded, and YAZ's
120 yaz_rpnquery_to_wrbuf() used instead. This is more robust
121 in dealing with unusual cases such as string-valued
123 - Support for SCHEMA element when fetching records.
125 1.01 Fri Mar 24 12:09:32 GMT 2006
126 - Documentation of release 1.00's SRU/SRW facilities.
127 - Makefile.PL now fails if YAZ version is earlier than 2.0.0,
128 which was the first with SRU/SRW support.
130 1.00 Fri Mar 24 01:20:24 GMT 2006
131 - Support for SRU and SRW. Mostly this is provided by the YAZ
132 GFS, but changes are needed to allow for the case where
133 there is no RPN query (due to absent on invalid <cql2rpn>
134 element in GFS configuration) so that CQL is passed through
135 natively; and also to fake up an {REQ_FORM} and {REP_FORM}
136 parameters set to the "text/xml" OID when this information
137 is not specified by the GFS.
138 (The jump in version number is due to the SRU/W support.)
139 - Include "logging-server.pl" in the distribution: the
140 simplest possible SimpleServer application, which merely
141 logs the client-request data structures.
142 - Makefile.PL is more helpful if yaz-config isn't found.
143 - Explicitly disable prototypes in SimpleServer.xs: makes no
144 difference but suppresses an error message for a cleaner
147 0.08 Mon Jun 14 14:51:01 2004
148 - SimpleServer is now perl 5.8 thread proof
149 - Support for IMP_ID parameter in Init responses. This was
150 actually written a long time ago, but left commented out as
151 the underlying YAZ back-end server didn't support
152 implementation-ID setting. Now that it does (and has done
153 for eighteen months -- since YAZ release 1.8.6 of
154 2002/03/25!), I've finally removed the comments.
155 - Init handler now understands the setting of {ERR_CODE} as
156 more than a boolean success indicator, and also {ERR_STR}.
157 They are now passed back to the client (thanks to recent
158 changes to the YAZ generic front-end server) in accordance
159 with Z39.50 Implementor Agreement 5, found at
160 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/agree/initdiag.html
162 0.07 Fri Jan 03 10:12:15 2003
163 - Applied Dave Mitchell's (davem@fdgroup.com) GRS-1 parsing patch.
164 Thanks Dave, and sorry it didn't find its way to release 0.06,
167 0.06 Thu Jan 02 11:15:01 2003
168 - Added support for authentication
169 - Add documentation for the object tree passed as the RPN
170 member of the search-handler's argument hash.
171 - We actually removed the vacuous Changelog and TODO files
172 back in 0.05. They should never have been here :-)
174 0.05 Tue Feb 05 21:54:30 2002
175 - Add brief documentation of the new handling
178 0.04 Tue Feb 05 21:49:56 2002
179 - Add Changelog (Why? We already have this file!)
180 - Add TODO file (although it's empty!)
181 - Change interface to constructor, and fix test.pl script to
182 use the new interface.
183 - Add support for Scan.
184 - Add support for building GRS-1 records.
185 - Add grs_test.pl test suite for new GRS-1 code.
186 - Add RPN structure to search-handler argument hash.
187 - Add PID element to init, search, fetch and present-handler
188 argument hashes (but not the sort, scan and close-handlers,
190 - Fix typos in documentation.
192 0.03 Thu Nov 09 16:22:00 2000
193 - Add the INSTALL file.
194 - Add support for a present-handler (distinct from fetch).
195 - Remove `$args->{LEN} = length($record)' from the example
196 fetch-handler in the documentation.
197 - Minor corrections to documentation, e.g. add commas after
198 elements in anonymous hash of arguments.
199 - Record syntaxes (formats) are now specified as ASCII OIDs
200 (e.g. "1.2.840.10003.5.10") rather than human-readable
201 strings (e.g. "usmarc")
202 - Add some XS code to support sorting, though it doesn't seem
203 to be finished yet, and is not wired out.
204 - Use symbolic constants (e.g. Z_ElementSetNames_generic
205 instead of hard-wired magic number 1).
206 - Add PEER_NAME element to init-handler argument hash.
207 - Minor changes to ztest.pl.
209 0.02 Mon Sep 11 12:32:00 2000
210 - First released versions
212 0.01 Wed Aug 30 14:54:01 2000
213 - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
216 - When invoking Init callback, set initial values of IMP_ID,
217 IMP_NAME and IMP_VER from the client's Init request.
