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

101 - Form for editing details of an existing target.
102 - Require authentication for database-changing operations
103 such as target testing, adding a new target and
104 editing and existing one.
105 - Add statistics page like that one at
106 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
107 - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
108 ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
109 - Many, many more enhancements.
