1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
5 The YAZ GFS when converting SRW/SRU requests to Z39.50 structures
6 now converts recordSchema to elementSetName as well as schema URI.
8 Fixed bug in COMSTACK that prevented HTTP request packages from being
13 Added CCL facility r=r "range" which is similar to r=o "ordered" but
14 does not require white-space before and after the dash in a range, e.g.
15 x=-1990 is equivalent to x <= 1990 iff r=r, but equivalent to x= -1980
18 Fixed a few AC_TRY_LINK configure tests that did not operate properly
19 due to new GCC removing "redundant" code.
21 Added yaz-client commands scanpos and scanstep that sets preferred
22 position and step-size for scan.
24 Macro YAZ_INIT in yaz.m4: option --with-yazconfig renamed to --with-yaz.
26 Added CCL utility ccl_qual_buf which parses one or more CCL
27 spec lines in a buffer.
29 Added CCL utility ccl_qual_line which adds CCL qualifier line consisting
30 of name and value - ignoring empty lines and comments.
32 On Windows, the debug DLL/import lib is now named yazd.{dll,lib}.
34 Added odr_get_element_path which returns current element path for an
35 ODR handle. This utility is useful in error handling or user-defined
38 Added ODR_PRINT utility odr_set_stream which is is a more generic
39 alternative to odr_setprint. odr_set_stream takes a stream handle, pointer
40 to a write function and pointer to close function. The close function - if
41 non-NULL - will be called during odr_destroy.
43 Fixed bug in CCL parser where truncation char was not removed from
44 right side when truncation=both was in effect.
46 Fixed CQL parser to use unsigned chars for isxxx from ctype.h due
51 Fix buffer overrun in CQL parser when dealing with proximity (%).
53 Fixes for MARC-8 in yaz_iconv character set utilies. The MARC-8
54 to UTF-8/UCS conversion is now only based on codetables.xml.
56 yaz_marc_decode_buf sets leader pos 9 to "a" for MARCXML output.
60 Add support for more "commit changes" in ZOOM (uses Extended Services).
62 For yaz-client, command set_marcdump <file> / -m <file> dumps SUTRS/XML/..
65 Yet another small fix for configure of SSL.
69 Fix SSL libs for configure when --with-openssl=DIR is given.
73 Add autoconf m4 macro YAZ_DOC for YAZ documentation setup (docbook).
75 SSL comstack now uses yaz.pem certificate file on server side
76 by default. Certificate filename can be configured by calling
77 comstack function cs_set_ssl_certificate_file before cs_bind is used.
79 Fix bug regarding multiple calls to ZOOM_connection_connect.
81 Implement cs_set_ssl_ctx which sets SSL_CTX for SSL comstack.
83 Do not create SSL_CTX in cs_create (ssl_type). Create in tcpip_bind,
84 tcpip_rcvconnect instead. This allows user to set custom SSL_CTX.
86 ZOOM now allows inspection of X509 peer certificate for verification.
87 The X509 buffer is retrived by reading ZOOM option "sslPeerCert".
89 Removed libyazssl.la. When SSL is enabled, libyaz.la has SSL support and
90 all programs have too (yaz-ztest, yaz-client, zoom..). May not be
91 as "modular" but it simplifies things.
93 Added cs_get_peer_certificate to that returns peer X509 PEM.
95 Added cs_get_ssl that returns SSL handle (SSL *) for SSL comstack; returns
96 NULL if SSL is unavailable.
98 Documentation about MARC decoding tools.
100 Fix --disable-tcpd to really disable tcpd. Patch by Robin H. Johnson.
102 --- 2.0.19 2004/03/30
104 Rename CHANGELOG to NEWS to follow GNU style packing.
106 Fix bug with missing initialization of member in init_diagnostics.
107 This bug affects threaded version of GFS server.
109 --- 2.0.18 2004/03/20
111 Use wrbuf_xmlputs_n instead of wrbuf_write_cdata to avoid clash with
114 Ensure zlib.dll is packed with Windows install.
116 --- 2.0.17 2004/03/17
118 Fix encoding of xsd:string to use text instead of CDATA.

122 Use a more compact way to store MARC-8 conversion tables.
124 --- 2.0.16 2004/03/16 Debian only
126 Oleg Kolobov Fixed a bug in yaz_iconv regarding conversion to
129 Update CQL parser to use new CQL 1.1 modifiers for booleans and
134 --- 2.0.15 2004/03/01
136 Another fix for decoding of XML packed records.
138 --- 2.0.14 2004/02/25
140 Fixes for Chunked encoding. White space not ignored after length spec.
142 Update NS and use default NS for SRW diagnostic elements.
144 --- 2.0.13 2004/02/23
146 Implement ZOOM_resultset_cache_reset which resets record cache.
148 Implement ZOOM_resultset_sort which sorts a result set.
150 Implement chunked HTTP transfer.
152 For SSL, use -lssl -lcrypto on systems that don't have pkg-config.
154 --- 2.0.12 2004/02/16
156 Added member 'schema' to bend_explain_rr structure so that backend
157 can specify explain record identifier. Defaults to Zeerex 2.0.
159 Fix encoding of OID's of form 1.0.X. Bug introduced in 2.0.11.
161 --- 2.0.11 2004/02/16
163 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates: updated diagnostic in srw.h to use uri instead
166 Added init command for yaz-client which sends "extra" init request.
168 Fixed two bugs in OID codec - ber_oidc. Throw error when encoding/decoding
169 bad truncated OID. Fix decoding of OID X.Y... when X=2 and Y>39.
171 Fixed a bug in ASN.1 compiler that caused Type-1 Operator codec to fail.
173 Make ZOOM error code for "invalid query".
175 Fixed compilation for SSL which wasn't properly enabled for all platforms.
177 --- 2.0.10 2004/02/05
179 For yaz.m4, allow second argument for YAZ_INIT to hold minimal version of
182 * SRW/SRU 1.1 updates. Diagnostic code now a URI.
184 Added option -p <file> to make Generic Frontend Server to write PID file.
186 Added option -D to put Generic Frontend Server in background on its own.
188 Make ZOOM C recognize option "password". If unset, "pass" is used
189 (for backwards compatibility).
191 Fixed a bug in Generic Frontend Server that could make it crash if a
192 client sets characterSetNegotation bit, but didn't pass negotiation stuff
195 New YAZ client command, zversion, that sets Z39.50 version (1,2,3..).
196 Must be issued before open, in order to be in effect.
198 --- 2.0.9-6 2004/01/12 Debian/Windows
200 Make the SRU server more picky WRT unknown params, etc.
202 Bug fix: ZOOM scan response didn't return displayTerm - when present.
204 New YAZ client command, options, that sets Z39.50 options.
206 New utility functions yaz_init_opt_{encode,decode} to encode/decode Z39.50
207 options from a string of tokens (one token for each option bit).
209 Update SRW diagnostic code messages.
211 --- 2.0.9-5 2004/01/07 Debian/Windows
213 Handle user defined stylesheet for SRW/SRU.
215 --- 2.0.9-4 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
217 Fix bug in decoding of Content-Length.
219 --- 2.0.9-3 2004/01/06 Debian/Windows
221 Fix a bug with decoding of XML packed records.
223 --- 2.0.9-2 2004/01/05 Debian only
225 Allow empty ODR (NMEM=0) for odr_oiddup and odr_getoidbystr.
227 Fix bug in SRW/SRU diagnostics decoding.
231 Fixed bug in Generic Frontend Server which could drop records exceeding
232 preferred message size. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
234 Fixed calculation of package size for structured records in Generic
235 Frontend Server. Reported and fixed by Irina Dijour.
237 Fixed namespace for SRW/SRU diagnostics.
239 Fixed SEGV in yaz-client that occured for HTTP connection errors.
243 * SRW/SRU 1.1. Since the Namespace has changed for SRW/SRU, it means that
244 this version is incompatible with version 1.0 and older YAZ SRW/SRU
247 CQL changes to reflect recent changes to the specification:
248 * Documentation talks about context sets instead of index sets.
249 * Documentation talks about indexes instead of qualifiers.
250 * The CQL-to-PQF transformer's configuration file now uses
251 "index.set.name = <attributes>" instead of the old form
252 "qualifier.set.name = <attributes>". (Both forms are still
253 understood but the latter is deprecated.)
254 * CQL terms with no explicit index specified are now interpreted as
255 cql.serverChoice instead of srw.serverChoice (which of course
256 behaves exactly the same.)
260 MARC conversion can now generate ISO2709 output in another
261 character set. yaz-marcdump uses this facility if you invoke it
264 Added missing C decl macros for include/yaz/{soap.h,srw.h,cql.h}, so that
265 functions from there can be used from C++.
269 Frontend server now transfers memory from decoded packages to stream
272 NMEM now clears freed blocks with 'Y' (hex 59) to force bad memory
273 references to show up.
275 ZOOM-C now supports standard ZOOM option names as described in v1.4 of
276 the ZOOM Abstract API. The older names for the same options are still
277 also supported for the benefit of old applications.
279 ZOOM-C supports "implementationId" and "implementationVersion" options
280 to go along with "implementationName". These allow the user code to
281 specify identification strings to be sent to servers.
282 Add OID for the new ExtLite attribute set.
284 Add OIDs for NACSIS-CATP, FINMARC2000 and MARC21-fin record-syntaxes,
285 as requested/supplid by Ere Maijala <ere@atp.fi>
287 For generic frontend server, reverse the order of
288 "toolkit-supplied / application-supplied" strings sent as implementationId,
289 Name and Version. Also, remove the spaces around the slash. This brings
290 the GFS in line with the behaviour of ZOOM-C on the client side.
292 Add function ZOOM_scanset_display_term.
294 yaz-client shows scan displayTerm if present.
296 Utility yaz-iconv is now installed by default along with the man page
299 Extend configure check for OpenSSL to use pkg-config where available (such
302 Incorporate patch by Morten Bogeskov which allows a Unix file socket
303 server to specify uid/gid/mask for socket using the format
304 unix:[user=uid,][group=gid,][umask=mask,]file=path
305 If file= is omitted the existing format is assumed, e.g.
307 in which case the mask is 0666 (rw for everybody).
309 Major restructure of YAZ source. All source in libyaz is in src directory.
310 Programs in client (yaz-client), ztest (yaz-ztest), zoom (zoom programs),
311 util (utility programs such as ASN.1 compiler, yaz-marcdump).
313 Added man page for utility yaz-marcdump (used to be called marcdump).
314 yaz-marcdump is installed by 'make install'.
316 Fixed a memory leak in Generic Frontend Server that occurred when decoding
317 of incoming package failed.
319 Fixed a potential DOS attack vulnerability in COMSTACK/ODR.
321 Change prototype of odr_perror: add const to message string.
323 New function yaz_log_reopen which reopens log file (for log rotate, etc.)
325 * Blocking parameter for COMSTACK cs_create is now a bit mask rather
326 than a blocking flag. Bit 0 is set for blocking, reset for non-blocking.
327 Bit 1 is set if cs_addrstr should avoid DNS lookup; reset for full
328 DNS lookup. There should not be any compatibility problems with this
329 assuming that blocking=1 or 0 is used.
331 Fix bad reference in UNIX comstack in function cs_addrstr.
333 Fix for compilation on AIX.
335 The generic front-end server (server/seshigh.c) now supports returning
336 Init diagnostics to the client in User-information-field, in
337 accordance with Z35.90 Implementor Agreement 5 (Returning diagnostics
342 Allow any CQL relation (not just all,any,exact,scr).
344 Fixes for OCLC UI ASN.1 to make it work with SilverPlatter targets
345 that features the same UI.
347 Implemented command update0 in YAZ client which is equivalent to
348 update but uses old of Ext Update ASN.1.
350 Use OID 1.2.840.10003.15.1000.81.1 for privately defined charsets
351 in charset negotiation. Added VAL_ID_CHARSET in oid.h.
352 Previously no OID was used for this info.
354 ZOOM uses smallSetUpperBound=1 instead of 0 for piggyback searches.
355 It apparantely upsets EBSCO Publishing IR Z39.50 Server which
356 returns 'malformed search term' otherwise.
358 SortResponse member resultCount now set to NULL in sort handler of
361 OPAC support ZOOM. ZOOM_record_get returns OPAC info (as XML) if
364 Add three new utility functions for translating OIDs between various
365 formats -- symbolic name such as "Usmarc", minus-1-terminated int
366 arrays and dotted strings such as "1.2.840.10003.9.5.1":
367 int *oid_name_to_oid(oid_class oclass, const char *name, int *oid);
368 char *oid_to_dotstring(const int *oid, char *oidbuf);
369 char *oid_name_to_dotstring(oid_class oclass, const char *name, char *oidbuf);
371 Reverted modifications for ES Update definition for z_IU0Update
372 (OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and 1.2.840.10003.9.5). The definition
373 is back to YAZ 2.0.2.
375 String value attributes for CCL parser.
377 Support for OCLC's locally registered "OCLC-UserInformation" PDU,
378 which their FirstSearch server returns in Init responses, sometimes
379 carrying useful diagnostic information when Init fails. This has the
380 OID 1.2.840.10003.10.1000.17.1 and is defined in the file
381 "z39.50/oclcui.asn", where its definition is somewhat different from
382 what OCLC document on their web-site, as required to interoperate with
385 Support for anonymous authentication in yaz-client. Use the command
388 * Fix the OID of the Index Data-local "admin" Extended Service from
389 1.2.840.10003.9.81.1 to 1.2.840.10003.9.1000.81.1. The omission of
390 the 1000, which indicates a locally-defined OID, was a mistake.
394 Fix CCL directive @case handling so that it affects string match for
395 both CCL keywords and qualifiers.
397 * ESFormat-Update updates. Packages with OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1 and
398 1.2.840.10003.9.5 are now handled by the same decoder z_IU0Update .
399 Decoder has been updated with ASN.1 changes as listed in
400 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/updateES.html
401 Note that the "latest" DB Update, OID 1.2.840.10003.9.5.1.1 , handler
402 z_IUUpdate, remains unchanged.
404 ZOOM_record_get may now return a record in a specific character set.
405 For type use "form; charset=from[,to]" where form (render, xml, ..) ,
406 "from" is the character set of record as returned by target. "to" is
407 the character set to be returned. If omitted, "to" is UTF-8.
409 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed from yaz-comp to yaz-asncomp
411 New ODR utility, odr_getelement, which returns name of element for
412 which encoding/decoding failed.
414 Fixed ODR so that it returns error code OREQUIRED rather than ONONE
415 in cases where a required element was omitted.
417 Bug fix: some MARC8 sequences were not converted.
419 New ZOOM option "step" which specifies number of records to be
420 retrieved in one chunk. Used in conjunction with "start" and "count".
422 SRW support for yaz-client. Use scheme http: to use it, e.g.
425 yaz-client no longer does (un)intelligent character set conversions
426 by default. Can be enabled with charset and marc_charset commands.
428 xmalloc trace fix for 64-bit systems such as DEC alpha.
430 Solaris 2.6 compile fix.
432 New function, cql_strerror() translates SRW error codes, as returned
433 by cql_transform_error(), into human-readable English strings. Used
434 in yaz-client diagnostics when appropriate.
436 New CQL2RPN query-type for the command-line yaz-client, parses CQL and
437 converts it into a type-1 query which is sent to the server. This
438 makes CQL available for use with all Z-servers, as opposed to the tiny
439 minority that can handle CQL queries themselves.
443 New Debian package layout similar to the Redhat Package layout.
445 New ZOOM events ZOOM_EVENT_RECV_{RECORD,SEARCH} for receiving a record
446 and search result respectively.
450 Redhat package is now several packages: libyaz (runtime libraries),
451 libyaz-devel (development and documentation, and yaz (utility programs).
452 Package spec file by Morten Bøgeskov.
454 New member 'schema' in struct bend_fetch_rr which the name of requested
455 schema (SRW/SRU) for record (or NULL if none was given). The fetch
456 handler MAY set this to reflect the schema of the returned record.
458 New member 'display_term' in struct scan_entry. GFS now sets member entries
459 and allocates scan entries to be filled by user scan handler. In previous
460 version, entries member was allocated by the scan handler. That still works,
461 but the GFS will ignore member display_term - assuming it was NOT set by
462 the handler. The fact that the GFS now allocates the entries both allows
463 for new members and makes a scan handler easier to write.
465 Fix CQL lex buffer overflow.
467 SRW/SRU recordPacking. For SRW default recordPacking is string. For
468 SRU default recordPacking is string.
470 SRU protocol support for frontend server.
472 Fix compile bug for systems that have nl_langinfo but CODESET undefined.
474 Added missing PQF transform rules for <= and >= . Thanks to Peter Popovics.
476 Added scan for the ZOOM shell (zoomsh).
480 * String Identifers for Schemas (Amendment 5).
481 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am5.html
482 Old definition for schema
483 Odr_oid *schema; /* OPT */
488 Z_InternationalString *uri;
489 #define Z_Schema_oid 1
490 #define Z_Schema_uri 2
493 * resultCount parameter to Sort Response (Amendment 1).
494 http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/amend/am1.html
496 Support for SRW 1.0 over HTTP. This is an optional feature and
497 requires libxml2 to operate. Enable SOAP by specifying --with-xml2
500 Generic frontend server supports HTTP/SOAP/SRW and Z39.50/BER
501 on the same port. SRW SearchRetrieveRequests are mapped
502 to bend_init,bend_search,bend_fetch,bend_close.
504 Z39.50 Query Type-104 added - to facilitate CQL within Z39.50.
506 CQL support. Source is directory 'cql'. CQL is supported in ZOOM
507 (both SRW and Z39.50) and the YAZ client (Z39.50 only).
509 ZOOM connections are SRW based if schem http is used for hostname
510 in connect, e.g. z = ZOOM_connection_new("http://myserver");
511 ZOOM_query may be of type CQL, e.g. ZOOM_query_cql(q, "dc.title=x");
513 CCL proximity operators !n, %n converts to PQF @prox 0 n 1 2 k 2
514 and @prox 0 n 0 1 k 2 respectively, meaning: exlusion=false,
515 distance=n, order=true/false, relation=le, prox unit=word. If
516 n is omitted, distance 1 is used.
518 Fixed problem with C compiler include path in wrong order.
520 For TCP/IP COMSTACK, set recv buffer to an appropriate "large" value
521 on Solaris. Patch from Ko van der Sloot.
523 New MARC decode API. All new functions operate on a yaz_marc_t
524 handle. The most important new functions are: yaz_marc_create,
525 yaz_marc_decode_{buf,wrbuf}, yaz_marc_destroy, .. to create handler,
526 decode and destroy respectively. Decoder can produce formats
527 MARC line, simple XML, OAI MARC and MARC XML (LoC). See
528 include/yaz/marcdisp.h.
530 YAZ Iconv utility now supports MARC8 decoding (marc8.c). Converts
531 to UTF-8, UCS-32, wchar_t or Latin-1.
533 * Prototypes for yaz_iconv_-functions moved to separate header
534 include/yaz/yaz-iconv.h.
536 Make a few private functions 'static' in unix.c. This prevents
537 duplicate unix_close in PHP with YAZ and imap. PHP Bug 20977.
539 For ZOOM connection, the options targetImplementation{Id,Name,Version}
540 are set when Init Response is received.
542 New function ZOOM_connection_error_x similar to ZOOM_connection_error
543 but returns diagnostic set as well.
545 New function yaz_strerror which is a portable wrapper for
546 strerror/strerror_r/GetLastMessage.
548 * ZOOM_record_get supports type "xml" in which case MARC XML (from LOC)
549 is returned for MARC. If type is "oai", then OAI MARC is returned.
551 Fix creation of lib/yaz-config so it works if srcdir != objdir. Patch
556 yaz_marc_decode uses OAI MARC as XML format for ISO2709 records.
558 Fix bad race conditions on SIGTERM and terminate gracefully in
561 Move retrieval (data1) module to Zebra since nobody seems to be
564 Add GRS-1 render for ZOOM using same format as yaz-client.
568 Added man pages: yaz-client(1), yaz-ztest(8), yaz(7), zoomsh(1).
570 Fix broken ESpec handling in data1 module.
572 SGML reader parses comments and makes them part of the data1 tree.
574 Added several type casts so that YAZ compiles as C++ code.
576 ZOOM didn't handle PDU encoding failures properly.
578 Added more Bib-1 diagnostics (approved extensions).
580 GNU configure: better check for iconv.
582 More portable use of accept, getpeername. Check for socklen_t. Use
583 int/size_t if socklen_t is not defined.
587 PQF parser rejects bad queries - including those with extra
588 characters in them. PQF parser used to silently ignore that.
589 Cleaner API for PQF added, which allows you to get detailed
590 error information for bad queries (see yaz/pquery.h).
592 Fixed bug in ZOOM_record_get for type "database".
594 Implemented mini iconv library supporting conversions between
595 UTF-8, UCS4, UCS4LE and ISO-8859-1. Implemented in util/siconv.c.
597 * Removed XML reader (d1_expat.c). It's part of Zebra instead.
601 Fixed ZOOM C record cache so that preferredRecordSyntax and
602 elementSetName is used to check for already fetched records.
606 Added three members in bend_initrequest structure to facilitate
607 character set negotiation.
609 Fixed a bug in frontend server that could cause indefinite
610 loops under rare conditions.
612 Revised character set utilities (charneg.h) so that encoding
613 UCS-4, UCSA-4, UTF-16 and UTF-8 are encoded non-privately.
615 For PQF, directive @term <type> sets term type for Scan/Search.
616 Here <type> is general, string, numeric, null. The term type
617 is inherited - just like @attr.
619 New call odr_set_charset that sets character set conversion for
620 international-strings on a ODR stream. Prototype is:
621 int odr_set_charset(ODR o, const char *to, const char *from);
622 The InternationalString is still represented as C string in YAZ
623 so native strings of type UTF-8, ASCII, etc. will work (UTF-16
624 won't). On the protocol level, you can use any encoding.
626 Support for UNIX sockets in ZOOM.
628 Solaris recv sometimes returns errno == ENOENT. It is treated as
629 EINPROGRESS. COMSTACK patch by Ko van der Sloot.
631 New COMSTACK of type UNIX Socket. Use "unix:/path" as address for
632 both client and server. Code by Morten Bøgeskov.
636 On Windows ZOOM functions are of type __stdcall rather than __cdecl, so
637 that they can be used directly from Visual Basic. You must recompile
638 your windows APP if you're using ZOOM.
640 Character Set and Language Negotiation(3) for ZOOM API and YAZ client.
641 Commands "lang" and "charset" sets language and character set respectively.
642 Options "lang" and "charset" is interpreted by the ZOOM API. Note, these
643 are not part of the official ZOOM spec) All is due to Oleg Kolobov.
645 Attributes from multiple CCL fields may be OR'ed rather than merged
646 using directive "@field or". Fields are still merged by default -
647 equivalent to "@field merge".
649 Fixed bug in ZOOM connect that occurred on OpenBSD (maybe others). Patch
652 Fixed bug in zget for parameter ExtendedServicesResponse.
658 Added PQF feature: '@attr type=value' may be written as '@type=value'.
660 Client displays USR.1:SearchResult-1 (hits per term).
662 Additional Search Info for search in Generic Frontend Server.
664 Fixed CCL parsing of "field=s".
666 WIN32 installer - using the excellent NSIS software from nullsoft.
668 Fixed CCL parsing of "field = - <number>".
670 Added function yaz_marc_decode that decodes MARC for line mode
671 display or XML (similar to that used by JZKit).
673 Fixed BER decoding of OPTIONAL CHOICE. The bug didn't affect the
674 Z39.50. But ISO/ILL was, however.
676 Added patch by Rustam T. Usmanov that implements Z39.50 duplicate

684 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
685 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
686 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
688 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
690 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
691 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
693 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
694 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
695 is user, group and password.
697 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
699 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
700 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
701 server and yaz-ztest.
703 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
705 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
707 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
708 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
710 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
713 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
714 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
716 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
718 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
719 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
721 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
725 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
726 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
727 ZOOM_scanset_destroy.
729 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
730 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
733 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies schema for retrieval.
735 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
736 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
738 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
740 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
741 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
744 Working on Debian packages.
748 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
750 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
752 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
753 with key="host" to get same result.
755 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
756 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
757 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
759 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
764 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
766 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
768 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
769 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
770 were changed to size_t.
772 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
775 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
776 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
780 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
784 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
786 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
788 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
790 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
792 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
794 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
796 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
797 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
799 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
800 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
802 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
803 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
805 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
806 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
807 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
809 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
811 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
812 waitIfPossible (was wait).
814 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
817 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
818 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
820 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
822 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
823 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
825 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
827 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
829 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
830 set was specified for scan.
832 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
833 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
836 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
837 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
838 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
840 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
841 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
842 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
843 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
846 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
847 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
848 address. Only tested on UNIX.
850 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
851 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
855 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
856 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
857 (such as other PHP extensions).
859 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
860 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
862 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
863 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
865 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
867 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
868 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
869 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
870 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
871 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
872 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
873 thing a single DLL/SO.
875 Added Segment handler for backend server.
877 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
879 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
880 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
884 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
885 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
886 located in sub directory asn.
888 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
889 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
892 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
896 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
897 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
900 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
904 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
905 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
906 (default is /usr/local).
908 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
909 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
910 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
912 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
913 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
914 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
915 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
916 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
917 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
918 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
919 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
921 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
922 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
923 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
926 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
927 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
928 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
931 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
932 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
933 a service is started/stopped.
935 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
936 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
937 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
938 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
939 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
940 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
941 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
942 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
943 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
944 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
947 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
948 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
950 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
951 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
952 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
953 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
954 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
955 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
956 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
957 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
959 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
960 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
961 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
962 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
963 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
965 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
966 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
968 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
969 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
971 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
973 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
975 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
976 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
978 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
979 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
980 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
981 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
982 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
983 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
984 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
985 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
986 will support both versions.
988 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
989 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
990 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
992 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
993 contain positionOfTerm.
995 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
996 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
997 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
999 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
1000 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
1001 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
1002 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
1003 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
1006 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
1007 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
1008 in include/backend.h.
1010 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
1011 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
1012 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
1015 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
1016 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
1017 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
1019 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
1021 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
1022 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
1024 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
1025 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
1027 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
1028 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
1031 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
1033 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
1034 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
1035 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
1037 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
1039 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
1041 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
1043 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
1045 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
1046 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
1048 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
1049 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
1050 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
1053 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
1054 parent wasn't initialised.
1056 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
1057 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
1058 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
1060 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
1062 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
1063 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
1064 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
1065 using Odr_arm - as in:
1066 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
1068 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
1070 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
1071 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
1072 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
1074 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
1076 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
1078 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
1079 the following requests.
1081 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
1082 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
1083 in the Init handler.
1085 * Changed interface for sort in server.
1087 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
1088 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
1089 to Charles Woodfield.
1091 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
1092 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
1094 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
1095 and date/time-last-modified.
1097 --- 1.4pl2 1998/1/30
1099 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
1100 was introduced by release 1.4.
1102 --- 1.4pl1 1998/1/29
1104 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
1106 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
1108 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
1111 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
1112 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
1113 of the use of this feature.
1115 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
1116 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
1118 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
1119 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
1121 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
1122 of - group of elements.
1124 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
1126 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
1129 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
1131 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
1132 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
1133 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
1135 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
1136 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
1138 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
1140 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
1144 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
1146 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
1147 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
1149 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
1150 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
1151 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
1152 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
1153 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
1154 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
1157 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
1158 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
1160 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
1163 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
1164 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
1165 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
1166 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
1167 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
1169 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
1170 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
1171 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
1173 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
1174 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
1177 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
1178 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
1179 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
1180 This function is thread safe.
1182 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
1183 in 'server' directory.
1185 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
1187 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
1188 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
1190 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
1192 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
1194 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
1196 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
1197 release of RPN structure.
1199 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
1200 With input from RVDM.
1202 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
1203 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
1205 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
1207 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
1208 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
1210 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
1212 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
1214 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
1216 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
1218 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
1222 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
1224 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
1226 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
1228 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
1230 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
1232 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
1234 Added Update extended service.
1236 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
1238 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
1241 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
1243 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
1245 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
1247 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
1249 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
1251 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
1253 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
1255 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
1257 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
1259 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
1260 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
1262 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
1264 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
1266 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
1268 --- 1.1pl2 1996/4/10
1270 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
1274 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
1275 endpoints in dynamic mode.
1277 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
1278 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
1280 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
1281 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
1282 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
1284 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
1286 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
1287 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
1290 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
1291 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
1293 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
1294 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
1296 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
1297 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
1299 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
1302 --- 1.0pl4 1996/1/24
1306 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
1307 the rank and record number.
1309 Adjustments to the frontend server.
1311 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
1315 Various changes to retrieval module.
1317 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
1318 ints paired with #defines.
1320 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
1323 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
1326 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
1328 --- 1.0pl2 1995/12/6
1330 Memory bug in log module fixed.
1332 --- 1.0pl1 1995/12/5
1334 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
1336 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
1338 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
1342 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
1343 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
1344 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
1345 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
1347 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
1349 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
1351 Added Espec-1 format.
1353 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
1354 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
1355 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
1357 Demo client can request simple element set names.
1359 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
1361 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
1362 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
1364 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
1366 --- 1.0b3 1995/08/24
1368 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
1369 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
1370 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
1372 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
1373 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
1376 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
1378 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
1379 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
1380 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
1382 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
1385 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
1386 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
1388 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
1389 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
1391 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
1392 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
1393 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
1394 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
1395 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
1397 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
1398 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
1400 --- 1.0b2 1995/06/27
1401 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
1403 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
1405 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
1406 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
1407 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
1408 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
1409 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
1410 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
1411 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
1412 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
1414 Documentation updated accordingly.
1416 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
1420 First public release.
