3 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::SimpleServer
5 1.03 Tue Aug 8 17:27:16 BST 2006
6 - Rely on version 2.1.14 or later of YAZ; this is the first
7 version that reliably passes through the additional
8 information associated with errors generated while serving
9 SRU/W requests. No functional differences since 1.02.
11 1.02 Wed Jul 26 12:09:50 BST 2006
12 - Better support for Open and User/Password authentication.
13 - SimpleServer.xs's rpn2pquery() is now discarded, and YAZ's
14 yaz_rpnquery_to_wrbuf() used instead. This is more robust
15 in dealing with unusual cases such as string-valued
17 - Support for SCHEMA element when fetching records.
19 1.01 Fri Mar 24 12:09:32 GMT 2006
20 - Documentation of release 1.00's SRU/SRW facilities.
21 - Makefile.PL now fails if YAZ version is earlier than 2.0.0,
22 which was the first with SRU/SRW support.
24 1.00 Fri Mar 24 01:20:24 GMT 2006
25 - Support for SRU and SRW. Mostly this is provided by the YAZ
26 GFS, but changes are needed to allow for the case where
27 there is no RPN query (due to absent on invalid <cql2rpn>
28 element in GFS configuration) so that CQL is passed through
29 natively; and also to fake up an {REQ_FORM} and {REP_FORM}
30 parameters set to the "text/xml" OID when this information
31 is not specified by the GFS.
32 (The jump in version number is due to the SRU/W support.)
33 - Include "logging-server.pl" in the distribution: the
34 simplest possible SimpleServer application, which merely
35 logs the client-request data structures.
36 - Makefile.PL is more helpful if yaz-config isn't found.
37 - Explicitly disable prototypes in SimpleServer.xs: makes no
38 difference but suppresses an error message for a cleaner
41 0.08 Mon Jun 14 14:51:01 2004
42 - SimpleServer is now perl 5.8 thread proof
43 - Support for IMP_ID parameter in Init responses. This was
44 actually written a long time ago, but left commented out as
45 the underlying YAZ back-end server didn't support
46 implementation-ID setting. Now that it does (and has done
47 for eighteen months -- since YAZ release 1.8.6 of
48 2002/03/25!), I've finally removed the comments.
49 - Init handler now understands the setting of {ERR_CODE} as
50 more than a boolean success indicator, and also {ERR_STR}.
51 They are now passed back to the client (thanks to recent
52 changes to the YAZ generic front-end server) in accordance
53 with Z39.50 Implementor Agreement 5, found at
54 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/agree/initdiag.html
56 0.07 Fri Jan 03 10:12:15 2003
57 - Applied Dave Mitchell's (davem@fdgroup.com) GRS-1 parsing patch.
58 Thanks Dave, and sorry it didn't find its way to release 0.06,
61 0.06 Thu Jan 02 11:15:01 2003
62 - Added support for authentication
63 - Add documentation for the object tree passed as the RPN
64 member of the search-handler's argument hash.
65 - We actually removed the vacuous Changelog and TODO files
66 back in 0.05. They should never have been here :-)
68 0.05 Tue Feb 05 21:54:30 2002
69 - Add brief documentation of the new handling
72 0.04 Tue Feb 05 21:49:56 2002
73 - Add Changelog (Why? We already have this file!)
74 - Add TODO file (although it's empty!)
75 - Change interface to constructor, and fix test.pl script to
76 use the new interface.
77 - Add support for Scan.
78 - Add support for building GRS-1 records.
79 - Add grs_test.pl test suite for new GRS-1 code.
80 - Add RPN structure to search-handler argument hash.
81 - Add PID element to init, search, fetch and present-handler
82 argument hashes (but not the sort, scan and close-handlers,
84 - Fix typos in documentation.
86 0.03 Thu Nov 09 16:22:00 2000
87 - Add the INSTALL file.
88 - Add support for a present-handler (distinct from fetch).
89 - Remove `$args->{LEN} = length($record)' from the example
90 fetch-handler in the documentation.
91 - Minor corrections to documentation, e.g. add commas after
92 elements in anonymous hash of arguments.
93 - Record syntaxes (formats) are now specified as ASCII OIDs
94 (e.g. "1.2.840.10003.5.10") rather than human-readable
95 strings (e.g. "usmarc")
96 - Add some XS code to support sorting, though it doesn't seem
97 to be finished yet, and is not wired out.
98 - Use symbolic constants (e.g. Z_ElementSetNames_generic
99 instead of hard-wired magic number 1).
100 - Add PEER_NAME element to init-handler argument hash.
101 - Minor changes to ztest.pl.
103 0.02 Mon Sep 11 12:32:00 2000
104 - First released versions
106 0.01 Wed Aug 30 14:54:01 2000
107 - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
