Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
-1.05 [IN PROGRESS]
+1.06 IN PROGRESS
+ - Avoid mixed statement/declaration in ZOOM.xs. *sigh* Why
+ the heck GCC allows this by default I will never understand.
+ - Add (commented out) OPTIMIZE option to Makefile.PL, to turn
+ on -Wdeclaration-after-statement, which makes mixed
+ statement/declaration illegal.

- Implementation of asynchronous events! The Net::Z3950::ZOOM
interface provides this through the event, last_event() and
event_str() functions. The ZOOM interface provides it
and the ZOOM::Connection class's last_event() function.
- New sample programs added illustrating both asynchronous
interfaces: samples/net-z3950-zoom/zoomtst3.pl and
- samples/zoom/zoomtst3.pl respectively.
+ samples/zoom/zoomtst3.pl respectively. Additional sample
+ programs "async.pl" and "trivial-async.pl" for the ZOOM
+ interface only, the latter being a "shortest possible
+ broadcast search application".
- Added documentation on writing asynchronous applications.
- - ### test-case for asynchronous operations.
+ - Added test-scripts "t/19-events.t" and "t/29-event.t" for
+ events on an asynchronous connection.
- Fix ZOOM::Connection::new so that options are handled in
accordance with the documentation: applied _before_ the
connection is forged, so that "async" and similar options
can take effect.
- - ### complete and test "update.pl"

- The ZOOM-Perl layer now provides access to the underlying
--
To be done in future releases:
+ - Complete, test and document "update.pl"
- Fix Net::Z3950::ZOOM::record_get() to use a struct datachunk
_when_ appropriate, e.g. for "render" but probably not for
"database" and "syntax".
- - Support for asynchronous multiplexing: implement
- ZOOM::event() and test ZOOM::Connection::last_event().
- - Write example programs for "samples" direction.
- Create old-style Net::Z3950 compatibility layer.
- Fix memory leaks in callback functions for option sets.
- Fix limitation that option-set callback functions must be
specified as strings containing package-qualified function
names.
- - Fix test-suite to actually send the "drop" packages once
- Zebra's been fixed so this doesn't current the store.
