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

87 space-separated string.
88 - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
89 target IDs even if they contain spaces.

103 - Form for editing details of an existing target.

105 such as target testing, adding a new target and
106 editing and existing one.
107 - Add statistics page like that one at
108 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
109 - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
110 ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
111 - Many, many more enhancements.
