1 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
5 WIN32 installer using the excellent NSIS software from nullsoft.
7 Fix bug in CCL parser when form "field = - <number>" was used.
9 Added function yaz_marc_decode that decodes MARC for line mode
12 Fixed BER decoding of OPTIONAL CHOICE. The bug didn't affect the
13 Z39.50. But ISO/ILL was, however.
15 Added patch by Rustam T. Usmanov that implements Z39.50 duplicate
16 detection service (Z39.50-1995 Amendment 2) and Language Negotiation (3).

23 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
24 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
25 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
27 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
29 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
30 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
32 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
33 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
34 is user, group and password.
36 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
38 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
39 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
42 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
44 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
46 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
47 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
49 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
52 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
53 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
55 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
57 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
58 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
60 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
64 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
65 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
68 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
69 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
72 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies shema OID for retrieval.
74 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
75 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
77 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
79 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
80 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
83 Working on Debian packages.
87 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
89 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
91 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
92 with key="host" to get same result.
94 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
95 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
96 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
98 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
103 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
105 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
107 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
108 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
109 were changed to size_t.
111 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
114 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
115 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
119 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
123 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
125 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
127 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
129 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
131 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
133 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
135 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
136 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
138 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
139 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
141 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
142 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
144 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
145 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
146 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
148 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
150 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
151 waitIfPossible (was wait).
153 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
156 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
157 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
159 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
161 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
162 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
164 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
166 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
168 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
169 set was specified for scan.
171 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
172 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
175 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
176 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
177 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
179 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
180 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
181 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
182 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
185 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
186 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
187 address. Only tested on UNIX.
189 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
190 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
194 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
195 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
196 (such as other PHP extensions).
198 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
199 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
201 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
202 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
204 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
206 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
207 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
208 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
209 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
210 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
211 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
212 thing a single DLL/SO.
214 Added Segment handler for backend server.
216 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
218 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
219 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
223 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
224 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
225 located in sub directory asn.
227 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
228 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
231 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
235 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
236 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
239 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
243 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
244 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
245 (default is /usr/local).
247 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
248 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
249 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
251 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
252 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
253 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
254 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
255 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
256 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
257 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
258 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
260 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
261 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
262 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
265 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
266 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
267 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
270 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
271 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
272 a service is started/stopped.
274 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
275 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
276 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
277 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
278 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
279 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
280 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
281 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
282 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
283 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
286 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
287 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
289 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
290 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
291 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
292 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
293 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
294 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
295 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
296 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
298 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
299 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
300 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
301 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
302 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
304 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
305 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
307 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
308 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
310 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
312 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
314 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
315 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
317 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
318 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
319 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
320 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
321 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
322 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
323 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
324 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
325 will support both versions.
327 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
328 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
329 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
331 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
332 contain positionOfTerm.
334 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
335 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
336 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
338 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
339 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
340 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
341 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
342 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
345 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
346 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
347 in include/backend.h.
349 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
350 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
351 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
354 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
355 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
356 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
358 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
360 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
361 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
363 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
364 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
366 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
367 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
370 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
372 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
373 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
374 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
376 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
378 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
380 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
382 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
384 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
385 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
387 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
388 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
389 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
392 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
393 parent wasn't initialised.
395 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
396 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
397 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
399 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
401 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
402 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
403 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
404 using Odr_arm - as in:
405 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
407 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
409 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
410 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
411 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
413 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
415 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
417 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
418 the following requests.
420 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
421 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
424 * Changed interface for sort in server.
426 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
427 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
428 to Charles Woodfield.
430 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
431 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
433 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
434 and date/time-last-modified.
438 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
439 was introduced by release 1.4.
443 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
445 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
447 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
450 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
451 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
452 of the use of this feature.
454 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
455 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
457 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
458 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
460 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
461 of - group of elements.
463 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
465 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
468 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
470 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
471 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
472 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
474 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
475 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
477 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
479 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
483 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
485 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
486 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
488 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
489 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
490 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
491 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
492 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
493 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
496 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
497 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
499 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
502 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
503 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
504 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
505 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
506 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
508 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
509 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
510 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
512 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
513 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
516 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
517 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
518 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
519 This function is thread safe.
521 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
522 in 'server' directory.
524 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
526 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
527 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
529 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
531 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
533 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
535 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
536 release of RPN structure.
538 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
539 With input from RVDM.
541 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
542 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
544 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
546 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
547 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
549 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
551 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
553 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
555 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
557 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
561 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
563 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
565 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
567 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
569 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
571 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
573 Added Update extended service.
575 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
577 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
580 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
582 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
584 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
586 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
588 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
590 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
592 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
594 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
596 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
598 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
599 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
601 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
603 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
605 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
609 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
613 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
614 endpoints in dynamic mode.
616 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
617 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
619 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
620 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
621 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
623 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
625 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
626 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
629 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
630 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
632 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
633 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
635 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
636 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
638 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
645 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
646 the rank and record number.
648 Adjustments to the frontend server.
650 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
654 Various changes to retrieval module.
656 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
657 ints paired with #defines.
659 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
662 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
665 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
669 Memory bug in log module fixed.
673 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
675 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
677 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
681 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
682 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
683 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
684 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
686 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
688 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
690 Added Espec-1 format.
692 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
693 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
694 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
696 Demo client can request simple element set names.
698 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
700 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
701 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
703 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
707 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
708 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
709 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
711 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
712 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
715 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
717 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
718 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
719 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
721 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
724 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
725 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
727 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
728 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
730 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
731 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
732 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
733 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
734 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
736 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
737 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
740 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
742 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
744 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
745 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
746 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
747 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
748 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
749 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
750 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
751 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
753 Documentation updated accordingly.
755 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
759 First public release.
