Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
+1.17 [IN PROGRESS]
+ - New connection-level option "_check_debug" emits messages on
+ standard error when checking a connection find an error that
+ is about to result in throwing an exception. There is no
+ reason for you ever to use this, though -- pretend you don't
+ know about it.
+
+1.16 Tue Jan 16 11:18:34 GMT 2007
+ - Require version 2.1.41 or better of YAZ, so that Init
+ Response options are available using
+ $conn->option("init_opt_sort") etc.
+ - Include samples/zoom/zhello.pl to exercise these options.
+ - Add ZOOM_connection_peek_event() and $conn->peek_event().
+ - Require YAZ version 2.1.45, which is the first to provide
+ ZOOM_connection_peek_event().
+
+
+1.15 Fri Dec 1 14:17:49 GMT 2006
+ - ZOOM::Error::INIT is renamed to ZOOM::Error::ZINIT, since
+ INIT is a reserved word in Perl. In version 1.14 and
+ earlier, "require ZOOM" would fail, saying "Too late to run
+ INIT block", and "use ZOOM" would result in
+ ZOOM::Error::INIT having a value equal to its name (why?!)
+ rather than, as intended, Net::Z3950::ZOOM::ERROR_INIT.
+ - Belatedly added documentation for $rec->error() and
+ $rec->exception().
+
+1.14 Tue Nov 28 17:33:07 GMT 2006
+ - Add $record->error() to return non-surrogate diagnostics,
+ and $record->exception() to return the same information
+ wrapped in a ZOOM::Exception object.
+ - Requires YAZ 2.1.40, which provides ZOOM_record_error().
+ - $conn->error_x() now returns the error-code when called in
+ scalar context, rather than the diagnostic set name.
+
+1.13 Sat Nov 4 16:47:00 GMT 2006
+ - ZOOM::Connection::create() may now take either a single
+ argument, which is a ZOOM::Options object, or any even
+ number of argument (including zero), which are key => value
+ pairs of options to set.
+ - ZOOM::Connection::new(), having been refactored to use
+ create(), can now also take a ZOOM::Options argument.
+ - Documentation now includes information on specifying SRW,
+ SRU-over-GET and SRU-over-POST connections.
+ - ZOOM::ResultSet::record() throws a diagnostic if asked to
+ retrieve records out of range for the result-set.
+ - All tests against indexdata.com are now explicitly against
+ z3950.indexdata.com, as the identity of the former name has
+ recently changed.
+
+1.12 (NEVER PUBLICLY RELEASED; these changes are included in 1.13)
+ - Include the useful example program samples/zoom/zselect,
+ which is installed as part of "make install".
+ - Add ZOOM_connection_is_idle() and $conn->is_idle().
+ - Require YAZ version 2.1.35, which is the first to provide
+ ZOOM_connection_is_idle().
+ - Fix bug in ZOOM::Connection class code that made the
+ difficult to subclass -- when called as
+ $class->SUPER::new(@_), the constructor blessed the new
+ object into ZOOM::Connection rather than info the subclass.
+
+1.11 Thu Aug 31 16:47:53 BST 2006
+ - Require YAZ version 2.1.17, which has important ZOOM-C
+ bug-fixes.
+ - Do not use "-Wdeclaration-after-statement" compiler option,
+ since this supported only by GCC (and only recent versions).
+
1.10 Thu Jun 15 16:42:47 BST 2006
- No functional changes, but use Adam's modified API to
ZOOM_query_ccl2rpn(). This incompatible change means that
