Revision history for Perl extension Net::Z3950::ZOOM.
+1.01 (IN PROGRESS)
+ - Place some CODE: chunks in "ZOOM.xs" inside curly brackets
+ so that the declarations they begin with are at the start of
+ the block. This avoid mixed code/declarations. (The
+ "correct" solution is to use INIT: clauses in the XS file,
+ but they don't seem to work: the code in them is slapped
+ down right next to the CODE:, so declarations are not
+ acceptable there either.)
+ - Add new function Net::Z3950::ZOOM::connection_scan1(), which
+ uses a query object to indicate the start-term. This opens
+ the way for using CQL queries for scanning once the
+ underlying ZOOM-C code supports this.
+ - NOTE BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The ZOOM::Connection
+ method scan() is renamed scan_pqf(), and a new scan() method
+ is introduced which calls the underlying scan1() function.
+ Thus the scan()/scan_pqf() dichotomy is consistent with that
+ between search()/search_pqf().
+ - The tests t/15-scan.t and t/25-scan.t now also test for
+ scanning by CQL query.

+To be done in future releases:
+ - 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.
