3 Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
6 - Add interface to yaz_version().
7 - Emit big warning at startup time if YAZ version is less than
8 2.0.11 (which is what ZOOM-Perl 1.02 requires) unless the
9 file /tmp/ignore-ZOOM-YAZ-version-mismatch exists.
10 - Fix incorrect ZOOM-package URL in documentation.
11 - The ZOOM::Connection constructor may now be called with only
12 a single argument (host-string) and does not require a
13 dummy port-number argument.
15 1.01 Thu Dec 22 14:13:34 GMT 2005
16 - Place some CODE: chunks in "ZOOM.xs" inside curly brackets
17 so that the declarations they begin with are at the start of
18 the block. This avoid mixed code/declarations. (The
19 "correct" solution is to use INIT: clauses in the XS file,
20 but they don't seem to work: the code in them is slapped
21 down right next to the CODE:, so declarations are not
22 acceptable there either.)
23 - Add new function Net::Z3950::ZOOM::connection_scan1(), which
24 uses a query object to indicate the start-term. This opens
25 the way for using CQL queries for scanning once the
26 underlying ZOOM-C code supports this.
27 - NOTE BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The ZOOM::Connection
28 method scan() is renamed scan_pqf(), and a new scan() method
29 is introduced which calls the underlying scan1() function.
30 Thus the scan()/scan_pqf() dichotomy is consistent with that
31 between search()/search_pqf().
32 - The tests t/15-scan.t and t/25-scan.t now also test for
33 scanning by CQL query. To support these tests, a new files
34 is added to the distribution, "samples/cql/pqf.properties"
35 - Remove nonsensical clause about CQL sort-specifications from
37 - Add new function Net::Z3950::ZOOM::query_cql2rpn(), for
38 client-side CQL compilation.
39 - Add new ZOOM::Query::CQL2RPN class, encapsulating CQL
40 compiler functionality as a Query subclass.
41 - Add two new error-codes, CQL_PARSE and CQL_TRANSFORM,
42 returned by the client-side CQL facilities.
43 - The test-scripts t/12-query.t and t/22-query.t are extended
44 to also test client-side CQL compilation.
45 - Add all the yaz_log*() functions within the Net::Z3950::ZOOM
47 - Add new ZOOM::Log class for logging, providing aliases for
48 the functions in the Net::Z3950::ZOOM layer.
49 - Add diagnostic set to rendering of Exception objects.
50 - Documentation added for CQL compilation and logging.
52 1.00 Wed Dec 14 11:18:33 GMT 2005
53 - First distributed version.
55 0.01 Fri Oct 7 16:14:20 2005
56 - original version; created by h2xs 1.23 with options
57 --name=Net::Z3950::ZOOM --compat-version=5.8.0 \
58 --omit-constant --skip-exporter --skip-ppport \
59 --autogen-xsubs yaz/zoom.h -lyaz -lxml2
63 To be done in future releases:
64 - Fix Net::Z3950::ZOOM::record_get() to use a struct datachunk
65 _when_ appropriate, e.g. for "render" but probably not for
66 "database" and "syntax".
67 - Support for asynchronous multiplexing: implement
68 ZOOM::event() and test ZOOM::Connection::last_event().
69 - Write example programs for "samples" direction.
70 - Create old-style Net::Z3950 compatibility layer.
71 - Fix memory leaks in callback functions for option sets.
72 - Fix limitation that option-set callback functions must be
73 specified as strings containing package-qualified function
75 - Fix test-suite to actually send the "drop" packages once
76 Zebra's been fixed so this doesn't current the store.
