1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
5 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
7 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
8 release of RPN structure.
10 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
13 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
14 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
16 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.

52 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
54 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
56 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
58 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
60 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
62 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
64 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
66 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
68 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
70 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
71 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
73 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
75 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
77 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
81 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
85 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
86 endpoints in dynamic mode.
88 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
89 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
91 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
92 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
93 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
95 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
97 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
98 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
101 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
102 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
104 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
105 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
107 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
108 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
110 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
117 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
118 the rank and record number.
120 Adjustments to the frontend server.
122 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
126 Various changes to retrieval module.
128 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
129 ints paired with #defines.
131 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
134 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
137 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
141 Memory bug in log module fixed.
145 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
147 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
149 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
153 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
154 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
155 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
156 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
158 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
160 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
162 Added Espec-1 format.
164 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
165 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
166 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
168 Demo client can request simple element set names.
170 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
172 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
173 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
175 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
179 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
180 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
181 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
183 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
184 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
187 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
189 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
190 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
191 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
193 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
196 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
197 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
199 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
200 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
202 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
203 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
204 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
205 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
206 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
208 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
209 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
212 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
214 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
216 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
217 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
218 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
219 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
220 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
221 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
222 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
223 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
225 Documentation updated accordingly.
227 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
231 First public release.
