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