1 Option -t tests the Pazpar2 configuration and returns exit code
2 (0=success, non-zero=failure). In previous version of Pazpar2, -t
3 specified local settings.
5 In version 1.2.0 the configuration file - after include processing -
6 was dumped to stdout. Now, the configuration is only dumped to the
7 yaz log file if option -d is given.
11 Configuration may now have multiple server areas. This means that a
12 Pazpar2 instance may listen on multiple ports. Virtual hosting is not
13 yet supported - on a server basis. Configuration may also have multiple
14 services .. That is repeating service elements inside a server. Each
15 has an attribute 'id' which serves as service ID. This ID in turn may
16 be used in a Pazpar2 session, by specifying parameter service=ID for
17 command init. There can be at most one unnamed service inside a server
18 which can be referred to by not specifying an service ID for command
19 init (backwards compatible). In order to partition multiple servers and
20 services a new include directive has been added. This takes an attribute
21 'src' which specifies one or more sub-files. For example to include
22 service files, one might use:
23 <server >.. <include src=/"etc/pazpar2/conf.d/*.xml"/> .. </server>.
24 It is the intention that that completely makes the settings directive
27 Fix problem where the record command would wait forever if there were
28 no targets to wait for (activeclients == 0).
32 One result set is created per session (last search) rather than for
33 each connection which happen to be shared (bug #3009).
35 marc21 stylesheets changed for efficiency.
39 Session timeout may be specified on the command-line as option -T.
41 Pazpar2 may now be operated in a no-merged mode for records.. All records
42 will be considered unique. This mode is enabled if no mergekey is
43 generated by the normalization stylesheet (pz:xslt).
45 Pazpar2 caches original records from each target and the 'record' command
46 with offset returns the original record if 'syntax' and 'esn' are NOT
47 specified. This speeds up retrieval of original records but also means
48 that Pazpar2 uses more memory. The cached records will be freed when the
49 session terminates or a new search is executed.
51 Pazpar2 no longer uses its own ICU wrapper. Instead the ICU wrapper
52 library part of YAZ is used.
54 Added SRU client support.
56 Automatically computes pz:nativesyntax if not provided. Works for XML and
61 Command bytarget returns name of target (if defined).
65 Fixed bug #2021.. location now holds all brief elements.
69 Fixed check for application/x-www-form-urlencoded parameters.
73 Fixes for IE in pz2.js.
75 Fixed bug #2021: non-merged, brief meta data NOT included for command=show.
79 Changed the JS library pz2.js to use POST for long URL (+ params).
81 Added installation instructions for Windows. Note: NT services is
82 NOT available until we make a new release of YAZ.
84 Preserve order of repeated metadata fields (they were reversed before).
86 More MARC21 information extracted for metadata.
90 Fixed bug #1162: HTML entities are not escaped properly.
92 Native Windows port of Pazpar2. Makefile for Visual Studio provided.
96 Marc21 stylesheet updated to reflect multiple full text fields
100 Fixed bug in pz2.js WRT DOMElement attributes on IE.
102 Fixed bug 2100: Database wildcards not working
106 Added support for retrieval of records in binary.
108 Fixed bug 1794: Pazpar2 does not return valid XML.
110 Deal with ICU not returning sortkey (resulted in SEGV before).
114 JavaScript library pzw2.js throws error if WS response (from Pazpar2 or
115 other) is malformed (non-wellformed XML or missing Pazpar2 OK status).
117 Improved diagnostics when Pazpar2 HTTP decoding fails.
119 Pazpar2 requests may be POSTed as using Content-Type
120 application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
122 Pazpar2 honors LF in HTTP headers.
124 Handle targets that handle negative hit counts (should not happen, but it
129 ICU is used for tokenization and normalization of the following: mergekey,
130 sorting, relevance terms.
132 Debian package now enables ICU tokenization and normalization by default.
136 Exposed user setting values (i.e. non-pz: names) to the record systems in two
137 ways: Either as parameters to the normalization stylesheets (which would allow the
138 programmer to postprocess or use the values in any way) or after the normalization
139 step, in which case values are made part of the normalized record (and available for
140 sorting, termlists, display, or other interface-related use.
142 Implemented sorting by year.
144 Option -d dumps records to the current log file instead of stderr.
146 Fixes for compilation on cygwin.
148 Z39.50 client code uses pz:elements. pz:elements was recognized in
149 earlier Pazpar2 versions but it was not used for anything.
151 icu_chain_test is using fgets instead of getline - fixes compilation
154 Loosen the CCL query parsing so that Pazpar2 only returns error if _all_
155 query conversions fail (rather than _any_). This means targets that do
156 not support some fields are ignored in a search.
160 Improved handling of socket timeout for Z39.50 connections.
162 Misc documentation updates and spell fixes.
164 Debian package pazpar2 creates log rotate entry.
166 Debian package pazpar2-apache2 reloads Apache2.
168 jsdemo included in distribution. It illustrates the use of the js/pz2.js
173 First public release.
