Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
+1.22 (IN PROGRESS)
+ - Fix Net::Z3950::ZOOM::record_get() to use a struct datachunk
+ _when_ appropriate, e.g. for "render" not for "database" and
+ "syntax".
+ - Remove the unused $len reference parameter from record_get()
+ and $record->get(): this is now used in the underlying C
+ layer to make Perl strings of the right length, and is of no
+ value higher up the stack.
+ - Fix a bug in ZOOM::ResultSet::records(): requests including
+ the last record in the set were incorrectly declined.
+ - Better Debian packaging: use "make debian" to create new
+ "debian/output" directory containing .deb package file,
+ changes file, etc.
+ - Clear up a few warnings in ZOOM.xs
+ - Minor documentation improvements.
+
+1.21 Mon Oct 29 12:07:25 GMT 2007
+ - In the "typemap" file's handling of opaquechar*, use STRLEN
+ type for _unused_len in instead of unsigned: this prevents a
+ (possibly serious) warning on some 64-bit architectures,
+ although applications that do not use the option_binary()
+ methods will be safe with the previous release.
+ - Add explicit "#include <yaz/log.h>" to ZOOM.xs in the hope
+ of preventing undeclared-function warnings that some users
+ have reported but which I have been unable to reproduce.
+
+1.20 Fri Sep 21 17:51:55 BST 2007
+ - Add new sample program, samples/zoom/zoomscan.pl
+ - samples/zoom/zoomtst1.pl now accepts arbitrary options at
+ the end of the command-line, so that (for example) you can
+ specify a non-USMARC record syntax.
+ - Add new functions Net::Z3950::ZOOM::diag_srw_str() and
+ ZOOM::diag_srw_str() to map SRW diagnostic codes into
+ human-readable messages.
+ - ZOOM::Exception() constructor uses diag_srw_str() to fill in
+ the error message, if it is undefined, for SRW errors.
+ - The render() method of ZOOM::Exception(), and therefore the
+ overloaded stringifying operator, deals with exceptions that
+ have no message().
+ - Corrected the scan parts of the test-suite that use CQL so
+ that they explicitly perform client-side CQL compilation and
+ send the resulting Type-1 query. Previously, these tests
+ were (accidentally) requesting that CQL be sent as-is to the
+ server, but this mistake was being masked by an error in
+ older versions of ZOOM-C that compiled client-side anyway!
+
+1.19 Mon Jul 9 14:09:31 BST 2007
+ - Add $conn->exception() method.
+ - Set version number for Net::Z3950 to 0.99 -- less than the
+ 1.0 version number that will be used when it successfully
+ emulates the old Net::Z3950 module, but superseding the last
+ release, 0.51, of that module.
+ - Include samples/zoom/zdump.pl in distribution.
+ - Add "irspy" namespace to samples/zoom/zselect
+
1.18 Mon Feb 26 14:57:48 GMT 2007
- When a connection is in asynchronous mode, failing
operations (search, scan, etc.) no longer throw exceptions.
- 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
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".
- 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
