19 Client displays USR.1:SearchResult-1 (hits per term).
21 Additional Search Info for search in Generic Frontend Server.
23 Fixed CCL parsing of "field=s".
25 WIN32 installer - using the excellent NSIS software from nullsoft.
27 Fixed CCL parsing of "field = - <number>".
29 Added function yaz_marc_decode that decodes MARC for line mode

43 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
44 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
45 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
47 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
49 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
50 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
52 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
53 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
54 is user, group and password.
56 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
58 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
59 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
62 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
64 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
66 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
67 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
69 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
72 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
73 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
75 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
77 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
78 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
80 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
84 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
85 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
88 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
89 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
92 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies shema OID for retrieval.
94 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
95 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
97 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
99 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
100 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
103 Working on Debian packages.
107 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
109 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
111 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
112 with key="host" to get same result.
114 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
115 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
116 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
118 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
123 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
125 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
127 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
128 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
129 were changed to size_t.
131 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
134 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
135 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
139 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
143 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
145 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
147 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
149 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
151 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
153 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
155 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
156 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
158 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
159 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
161 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
162 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
164 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
165 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
166 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
168 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
170 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
171 waitIfPossible (was wait).
173 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
176 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
177 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
179 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
181 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
182 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
184 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
186 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
188 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
189 set was specified for scan.
191 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
192 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
195 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
196 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
197 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
199 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
200 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
201 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
202 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
205 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
206 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
207 address. Only tested on UNIX.
209 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
210 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
214 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
215 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
216 (such as other PHP extensions).
218 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
219 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
221 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
222 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
224 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
226 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
227 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
228 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
229 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
230 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
231 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
232 thing a single DLL/SO.
234 Added Segment handler for backend server.
236 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
238 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
239 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
243 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
244 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
245 located in sub directory asn.
247 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
248 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
251 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
255 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
256 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
259 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
263 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
264 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
265 (default is /usr/local).
267 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
268 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
269 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
271 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
272 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
273 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
274 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
275 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
276 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
277 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
278 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
280 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
281 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
282 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
285 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
286 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
287 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
290 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
291 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
292 a service is started/stopped.
294 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
295 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
296 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
297 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
298 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
299 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
300 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
301 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
302 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
303 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
306 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
307 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
309 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
310 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
311 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
312 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
313 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
314 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
315 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
316 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
318 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
319 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
320 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
321 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
322 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
324 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
325 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
327 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
328 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
330 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
332 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
334 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
335 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
337 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
338 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
339 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
340 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
341 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
342 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
343 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
344 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
345 will support both versions.
347 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
348 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
349 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
351 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
352 contain positionOfTerm.
354 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
355 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
356 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
358 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
359 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
360 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
361 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
362 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
365 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
366 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
367 in include/backend.h.
369 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
370 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
371 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
374 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
375 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
376 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
378 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
380 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
381 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
383 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
384 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
386 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
387 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
390 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
392 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
393 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
394 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
396 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
398 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
400 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
402 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
404 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
405 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
407 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
408 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
409 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
412 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
413 parent wasn't initialised.
415 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
416 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
417 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
419 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
421 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
422 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
423 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
424 using Odr_arm - as in:
425 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
427 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
429 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
430 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
431 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
433 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
435 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
437 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
438 the following requests.
440 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
441 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
444 * Changed interface for sort in server.
446 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
447 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
448 to Charles Woodfield.
450 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
451 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
453 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
454 and date/time-last-modified.
458 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
459 was introduced by release 1.4.
463 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
465 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
467 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
470 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
471 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
472 of the use of this feature.
474 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
475 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
477 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
478 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
480 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
481 of - group of elements.
483 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
485 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
488 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
490 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
491 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
492 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
494 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
495 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
497 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
499 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
503 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
505 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
506 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
508 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
509 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
510 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
511 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
512 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
513 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
516 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
517 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
519 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
522 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
523 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
524 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
525 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
526 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
528 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
529 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
530 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
532 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
533 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
536 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
537 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
538 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
539 This function is thread safe.
541 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
542 in 'server' directory.
544 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
546 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
547 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
549 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
551 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
553 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
555 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
556 release of RPN structure.
558 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
559 With input from RVDM.
561 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
562 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
564 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
566 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
567 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
569 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
571 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
573 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
575 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
577 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
581 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
583 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
585 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
587 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
589 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
591 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
593 Added Update extended service.
595 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
597 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
600 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
602 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
604 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
606 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
608 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
610 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
612 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
614 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
616 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
618 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
619 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
621 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
623 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
625 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
629 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
633 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
634 endpoints in dynamic mode.
636 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
637 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
639 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
640 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
641 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
643 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
645 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
646 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
649 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
650 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
652 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
653 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
655 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
656 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
658 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
665 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
666 the rank and record number.
668 Adjustments to the frontend server.
670 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
674 Various changes to retrieval module.
676 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
677 ints paired with #defines.
679 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
682 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
685 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
689 Memory bug in log module fixed.
693 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
695 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
697 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
701 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
702 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
703 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
704 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
706 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
708 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
710 Added Espec-1 format.
712 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
713 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
714 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
716 Demo client can request simple element set names.
718 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
720 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
721 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
723 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
727 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
728 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
729 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
731 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
732 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
735 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
737 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
738 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
739 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
741 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
744 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
745 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
747 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
748 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
750 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
751 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
752 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
753 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
754 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
756 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
757 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
760 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
762 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
764 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
765 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
766 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
767 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
768 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
769 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
770 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
771 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
773 Documentation updated accordingly.
775 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
779 First public release.
