3 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::SimpleServer
6 - New global-handle element can be specified when creating a
7 simple-server object and will be passed to all callback
8 functions. This allows global state to be eliminated from
9 SimpleServer applications ... finally!
11 1.05 Wed Dec 27 13:19:13 CET 2006
12 - Taking new naming convention for YAZ constants into account.
14 1.04 Fri Dec 1 10:48:32 CET 2006
15 - Build such that SimpleServer links to new yaz shared object.
17 1.03 Tue Aug 8 17:27:16 BST 2006
18 - Rely on version 2.1.14 or later of YAZ; this is the first
19 version that reliably passes through the additional
20 information associated with errors generated while serving
21 SRU/W requests. No functional differences since 1.02.
23 1.02 Wed Jul 26 12:09:50 BST 2006
24 - Better support for Open and User/Password authentication.
25 - SimpleServer.xs's rpn2pquery() is now discarded, and YAZ's
26 yaz_rpnquery_to_wrbuf() used instead. This is more robust
27 in dealing with unusual cases such as string-valued
29 - Support for SCHEMA element when fetching records.
31 1.01 Fri Mar 24 12:09:32 GMT 2006
32 - Documentation of release 1.00's SRU/SRW facilities.
33 - Makefile.PL now fails if YAZ version is earlier than 2.0.0,
34 which was the first with SRU/SRW support.
36 1.00 Fri Mar 24 01:20:24 GMT 2006
37 - Support for SRU and SRW. Mostly this is provided by the YAZ
38 GFS, but changes are needed to allow for the case where
39 there is no RPN query (due to absent on invalid <cql2rpn>
40 element in GFS configuration) so that CQL is passed through
41 natively; and also to fake up an {REQ_FORM} and {REP_FORM}
42 parameters set to the "text/xml" OID when this information
43 is not specified by the GFS.
44 (The jump in version number is due to the SRU/W support.)
45 - Include "logging-server.pl" in the distribution: the
46 simplest possible SimpleServer application, which merely
47 logs the client-request data structures.
48 - Makefile.PL is more helpful if yaz-config isn't found.
49 - Explicitly disable prototypes in SimpleServer.xs: makes no
50 difference but suppresses an error message for a cleaner
53 0.08 Mon Jun 14 14:51:01 2004
54 - SimpleServer is now perl 5.8 thread proof
55 - Support for IMP_ID parameter in Init responses. This was
56 actually written a long time ago, but left commented out as
57 the underlying YAZ back-end server didn't support
58 implementation-ID setting. Now that it does (and has done
59 for eighteen months -- since YAZ release 1.8.6 of
60 2002/03/25!), I've finally removed the comments.
61 - Init handler now understands the setting of {ERR_CODE} as
62 more than a boolean success indicator, and also {ERR_STR}.
63 They are now passed back to the client (thanks to recent
64 changes to the YAZ generic front-end server) in accordance
65 with Z39.50 Implementor Agreement 5, found at
66 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/agree/initdiag.html
68 0.07 Fri Jan 03 10:12:15 2003
69 - Applied Dave Mitchell's (davem@fdgroup.com) GRS-1 parsing patch.
70 Thanks Dave, and sorry it didn't find its way to release 0.06,
73 0.06 Thu Jan 02 11:15:01 2003
74 - Added support for authentication
75 - Add documentation for the object tree passed as the RPN
76 member of the search-handler's argument hash.
77 - We actually removed the vacuous Changelog and TODO files
78 back in 0.05. They should never have been here :-)
80 0.05 Tue Feb 05 21:54:30 2002
81 - Add brief documentation of the new handling
84 0.04 Tue Feb 05 21:49:56 2002
85 - Add Changelog (Why? We already have this file!)
86 - Add TODO file (although it's empty!)
87 - Change interface to constructor, and fix test.pl script to
88 use the new interface.
89 - Add support for Scan.
90 - Add support for building GRS-1 records.
91 - Add grs_test.pl test suite for new GRS-1 code.
92 - Add RPN structure to search-handler argument hash.
93 - Add PID element to init, search, fetch and present-handler
94 argument hashes (but not the sort, scan and close-handlers,
96 - Fix typos in documentation.
98 0.03 Thu Nov 09 16:22:00 2000
99 - Add the INSTALL file.
100 - Add support for a present-handler (distinct from fetch).
101 - Remove `$args->{LEN} = length($record)' from the example
102 fetch-handler in the documentation.
103 - Minor corrections to documentation, e.g. add commas after
104 elements in anonymous hash of arguments.
105 - Record syntaxes (formats) are now specified as ASCII OIDs
106 (e.g. "1.2.840.10003.5.10") rather than human-readable
107 strings (e.g. "usmarc")
108 - Add some XS code to support sorting, though it doesn't seem
109 to be finished yet, and is not wired out.
110 - Use symbolic constants (e.g. Z_ElementSetNames_generic
111 instead of hard-wired magic number 1).
112 - Add PEER_NAME element to init-handler argument hash.
113 - Minor changes to ztest.pl.
115 0.02 Mon Sep 11 12:32:00 2000
116 - First released versions
118 0.01 Wed Aug 30 14:54:01 2000
119 - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
