13 New YAZ client features: Command completion and new commands:
14 push_command, set_apdufile, set_marcdump, set_cclfields, register_oid.
15 Code provided by Jacob Poulsen.
17 New call oid_trav, that visits all registered OIDs via callback.
19 Function ZOOM_record_get now returns const char pointer rather than
20 void pointer. It saves a lot of type casts.
22 For YAZ client, command "auth" now allows you to set authentication
23 in IdPass style. It is enabled when three tokens are given - order
24 is user, group and password.
26 Fix memory leaks in MARC record handling for ZOOM.
28 New option for YAZ client, -k <kilobytes> that sets
29 maximum record size. Similar to -k option for generic frontend
32 More fixes for scan. Non-zero stepSize handled. OID's fixes.
34 Prefix query parser reports "fail" when bad attribute set is given.
36 Fix in MARC decoder. Proximity logging. Fix for attribute set
37 in scan handler for server. Patches by Shigeru Ishida.
39 SSL/COMSTACK updates. cs_rcvconnect completes SSL handshake. ZOOM
42 Configure option --with-openssl=<dir> now works when a directory is
43 specified. Patch provided by Morten Bøgeskov.
45 New option for YAZ client, -u <auth>, that sets authentication.
47 ZOOM fix: error information was sometimes "missing", since error
48 was cleared/reset too when it shouldn't.
50 ZOOM_record_get returns ISO2709 buffer when "raw" is given.
54 Scan for ZOOM API. New object ZOOM_scanset. New functions
55 ZOOM_connection_scan, ZOOM_scanset_size, ZOOM_scanset_term and
58 New ZOOM function, ZOOM_connection_last_event, that returns type
59 of last event (such as "receive data", "send data", "apdu received",
62 New ZOOM option, schema, that specifies shema OID for retrieval.
64 New CCL feature. Qualifiers can be aliases for one or more
65 other qualifiers (if more than one is given, OR is used).
67 ZOOM uses named result sets if target supports it.
69 Two new YAZ client commands: . (dot, which sources a script of YAZ
70 client commands), and ! (to execute shell command.). Implemented
73 Working on Debian packages.
77 YAZ client enables named result sets only if target supports it.
79 *** ZOOM. Prefix for ZOOM definitions changed from Z3950_ to ZOOM_.
81 * ZOOM. Removed Z3950_connection_host. Use Z3950_connection_option_get
82 with key="host" to get same result.
84 * ZOOM. Added Z3950_record_clone and removed Z3950_resultset_get.
85 Function Z3950_resultset_record(s) returns references to records
86 "owned" by resultset. To become owner use Z3950_record_clone.
88 Function z_ext_record handles Extended Services. Thanks to
93 CCL Parser fix: ignore token comma when dealing with and-lists.
95 Documentation updates for COMSTACK.
97 * ZOOM changes. Query object renamed from Z3950_search to Z3950_query.
98 Changed prototype Z3950_records. For some functions, int parameters
99 were changed to size_t.
101 TCP/IP COMSTACK no longer uses getprotobyname to avoid memory leak
104 New MARC decode/display function, marc_display_exl, which properly rejects
105 non-ISO2709 records. YAZ client uses it.
109 Fix bug: local attribute set wasn't set correctly in PQF strings.
113 * Old Z39.50 codecs no longer supported.
115 Added ZOOM C binding. See http://zoom.z3950.org/
117 Renamed states for COMSTACKs to avoid confusion with events.
119 Implemented cs_look and proper cs_rcvconnect.
121 Fixed COMSTACK error that occurred on HPUX. Fix by Giannis Kosmas.
123 Configure detects POSIX threads on OpenBSD.
125 When sort flag 'i' was specified in yaz-client the caseSensitivy flag
126 was set to a wrong value. Thanks to Robert Sanderson for reporting this.
128 When error is returned from present handler, non-surrogate diagnostic
129 is returned in present response (and fetch handler is no longer called).
131 * Minor adjustments to pquery parser (PQF). Token characters may be
132 escaped by using backslash (C-style).
134 PQF parser allows string attribute values to be specified. For @attr,
135 non-numeric characters after the equal-sign are treated as strings
136 (e.g. @attr 9=title).
138 CCL trunction character may be defined (@truncation in file)
140 * function zget_ExtendedServicesRequest sets waitAction to
141 waitIfPossible (was wait).
143 Added cs_set_blocking to set change blocking mode of a COMSTACK. Thanks
146 CCL operator names may be set in field definition files (CCL_bibset).
147 See ccl/bib1 for an example.
149 Fixes in ASN.1 compiler for C++ compatibility.
151 * Renamed members "and" and "or" in struct Z_Operator to "op_and"
152 and "op_or" to avoid conflict with C++.
154 Fixed problem with GNU readline detection on Redhat 7.0.
156 Added step-size for Scan backend handler.
158 Fixed bug that made the frontend server crash when no attribute
159 set was specified for scan.
161 Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
162 when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
165 Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
166 records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
167 null-data rules ( <tag/>)
169 On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
170 is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
171 when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
172 on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
175 Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
176 (or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
177 address. Only tested on UNIX.
179 Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
180 and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
184 * Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file.. and
185 log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
186 (such as other PHP extensions).
188 Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
189 and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
191 Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
192 compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
194 Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
196 * Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
197 one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
198 bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
199 Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
200 handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
201 external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
202 thing a single DLL/SO.
204 Added Segment handler for backend server.
206 Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
208 Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
209 Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
213 Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
214 of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
215 located in sub directory asn.
217 YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
218 in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
221 GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
225 Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
226 syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
229 Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
233 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
234 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
235 (default is /usr/local).
237 * YAZ programs client and ztest were renamed to yaz-client and
238 yaz-ztest to avoid conflicts when users install YAZ in "standard"
239 locations, such as /usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,etc.
241 * YAZ Header files were moved from include to include/yaz. YAZ Header
242 files are referred to as include <yaz/log.h> rather than <log.h>.
243 The YAZ include path (-I ..) is therefore the same as before. Programmers
244 should update their #include statements or use -Ipath/include/yaz
245 instead. The main motivation for doing this change is that YAZ header files
246 can be installed in "standard" locations /usr/include,/usr/local/include
247 without introducing conflicts, since ALL YAZ header files are stored
248 in subdirectory yaz (under /usr/include for example).
250 Compilation of YAZ for WIN32 is now handled by an nmake-style makefile
251 rather than project/workspace files. We switched because project files
252 are incompatible between Visual C++ 5 and 6. Refer to windows.txt for
255 Changed name of logging function, logf, to yaz_log, to prevent name
256 clash with some math-log functions. The YAZ header log.h defines logf
257 to yaz_log (#define) so there should be no incompatibilities by this
260 Added bend_start/bend_stop handlers for server. These handler are
261 called on start/stop of server. For windows they are called whenever
262 a service is started/stopped.
264 * YAZ now auto-generates decoders/encoders for the Z39.50 protocol using
265 a fairly small ASN.1 compiler written in Tcl. The compiler is located
266 in util/yc.tcl. The auto-generated C code structures are, in a few
267 cases, incompatible with the old decoders. There are differences in the
268 following C structures Z_DiagRec, Z_External, Z_SortRequest, Z_SortResponse,
269 Z_AttributesPlusTerm, Z_ProximityOperator, Z_DefaultDiagFormat.
270 The preprocessor variable ASN_COMPILED is defined when the compiled
271 ASN.1 is being used. Encoder/decoder routines as well as the Z39.50
272 protocol ASN.1 is located sub directory <tt>z39.50</tt>. If you
273 wish to use the old encoders/decoders you can specify --disable-yc
276 Assigned OID for old DB Update (VAL_DBUPDATE0). Updated YAZ compiled
277 version so that it supports both new - and old version of DB Update
279 * Added 'name' parameter to ODR encoder/decoder routines to facilitate
280 pretty ODR print. Updated whole Z39.50 encoder/decoder to reflect the
281 change. The name parameter can be set to 0 in which no name is specified
282 for the construction. The macros odr_implicit and odr_explicit sets name
283 parameter to zero for the construction involved. New macros
284 odr_implicit_tag and odr_explicit_tag are similar to the others,
285 except that a name parameter is added. For programmers' that don't use
286 ODR they probably only need to change the call to z_APDU and z_External.
288 Added access control facility by interfacing the TCP wrapper library.
289 YAZ automatically attempts to find the TCP wrapper Library (-lwrap) and
290 tcpd.h on Unix systems. For the server, option -d<daemon> specifies the
291 name of the daemon and enables the access control as specified in
292 hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Refer to man pages tcpd(8) and hosts_access(5).
294 Fixed memory leak in ccl_find_str and ccl_qual_rm. Thanks to Hans van
295 den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
297 Added reference ID parameter to most functions in server API - refer
298 to backend.h. Thanks to Hans van den Dool <H.M.vdnDool@kub.nl>.
300 Changed name of ccl library to libccl.a (was ccl.a).
302 Fixed bug in decoder for Explain (Category TargetInfo).
304 Added support for GNU readline in client. Thanks to Jacob Poulsen
305 <ja7@dbc.dk>. GNU configure attempts to detect if readline is available.
307 * CHANGED DEFINITION OF ES: UPDATE (INCLUDING THE OID) to reflect the
308 new definition from the ZIG. NOTE THIS IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE
309 IMPLEMENTATION! This change was made to the development version before
310 the ZIG decided to retract the amendment. If any users MUST be
311 compatible with the original Update definition, PLEASE CONTACT US, and
312 we will include a separate definition corresponding to the old Update
313 ES. Note that because of the change to the ASN.1 of the
314 TaskPackageRecordStructure we cannot define a single structure that
315 will support both versions.
317 * Added const modifier to buffer parameter for some ODR/BER encoding
318 routines: ber_dectag, ber_declen, odp_more_chunks, completeBER,
319 completeWAIS, odr_dumpBER.
321 Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
322 contain positionOfTerm.
324 * Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
325 * will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
326 * list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
328 Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
329 to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
330 integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
331 directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
332 in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
335 Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
336 may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
337 in include/backend.h.
339 Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
340 be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
341 logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
344 Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
345 compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
346 Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
348 YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
350 * Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
351 DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
353 * Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
354 and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
356 Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
357 module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
360 Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
362 Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
363 Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
364 AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
366 Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
368 --- 1.4pl2+ 1998/4/17 (Released with Zebra)
370 Added Extended Services to server (backend.h). Thanks to Charles Woodfield.
372 Added EXTERNAL: UNIverse Resource Report (non-standard).
374 Implemened odr_enum and odr_set_of functions to handle ASN.1 types
375 ENUMERATED and SET OF.
377 * Added 'const' to some of the char pointer arguments for the
378 functions, data1_read_node, data1_getelementbytagname,
379 data1_insert_taggeddata, data1_getesetbyname, data1_getelementbyname,
382 Fixed bug in data1_insert_taggeddata - the last_child member of
383 parent wasn't initialised.
385 * Changed data1_read_record and data1_read_node so that the supplied
386 "SGML"-buffer is read-only. In particular the resulting data1 - tree
387 doesn't refer to any parts of the "SGML"-buffer.
389 Fixed bug in server library (Windows version of statserv_remove).
391 * Changed code so that it compiles as C++. The type definition
392 of Odr_fun which is a member of Odr_arm was changed. The result is,
393 that an explicit typecast is needed for the fun pointer when
394 using Odr_arm - as in:
395 {1, -1, -1, Z_IdAuthentication_idPass, (Odr_fun)z_IdPass},
397 Updated TagSet-G and -M definitions (tagsetm.tag and tagsetg.tag).
399 Implemented the new structured date and time definition as approved
400 by the ZIG. Added schemaId element to the specificTag in Espec-1
401 (also approved at the last ZIG). Thanks to RVDM.
403 Added some Object identifiers (RVDM).
405 Changed the Update Extended Service (RVDM).
407 Added command "refid" to client which specifies referenceId for
408 the following requests.
410 Implemented extended service handling for server. See ztest.c
411 for an example as well as backend.h. New handlers are registerd
414 * Changed interface for sort in server.
416 Added new members to statserv_options_block. It allows a server
417 to read options from another source than just the command line. Thanks
418 to Charles Woodfield.
420 * Changed definition of Z_Triple in file prt-grs.h - member boolean
421 renamed to zboolean. Some C++ compilers complained about the name.
423 Minor changes to gils.abs. Added index 's' (sort) on title
424 and date/time-last-modified.
428 Fixed bug in server library regarding inetd mode (-i). This bug
429 was introduced by release 1.4.
433 Added sort facility in client and backend server interface.
435 Fixed problem with dependencies in Makefile(s).
437 Fixed bugs for encoders/decoders of extended services and
440 Implemented sub-tree feature for schemas. Sub-trees are
441 referenced in *.abs-files. See explain.abs for an example
442 of the use of this feature.
444 Modified bib1.att; local attributes for ANY didn't include
445 ANY itself (only affects use of the retrieval module).
447 Fixed bug in plain SGML reader in function data1_read_node:
448 tags with prefix "var" was incorrectly interpreted as variants.
450 Added feature "sub-schemas" to enable references to - and definitions
451 of - group of elements.
453 * Removed member parent from type data1_element (in data1.h).
455 Implemented function odr_nullval() that returns the value of
458 * Removed member num_children from data1_node (in data1.h).
460 Made NT service interface part of the server library. The
461 function statserv_main uses the NT service when required and
462 calls the statserv_start / statserv_close routines.
464 Routine zget_SearchRequest and zget_PresentRequest fills
465 resultSetName/Id member with "default" instead of "Default".
467 Fixed memory leak in server. Request queue member wasn't freed.
469 Fixed nmem_exit so that memory is freed.
473 Revised the CCL parser utility to be thread safe.
475 Added function, oid_ent_to_oid, to replace the function
476 oid_getoidbyent, which is not thread safe.
478 * Added nmem_init and nmem_exit to initialize and release
479 NMEM resources. Function nmem_init should be called once in the
480 initial thread before NMEM/ODR is used. statserv.c and client.c
481 have been changed accordingly. The change was necessary to make
482 NMEM thread safe. The NMEM memory pool is shared amongst threads
483 in a process. Unix-based applications will still work fine without
486 Added NT Services interface for the the Z39.50 (statserv) Server.
487 Refer to the ztest.c source on the usage.
489 Windows 95/NT port using MSVC5.0. Project files are included in the
492 * Defined new 'global' handle for the retrieval (data1) system. The
493 new handled, data1_handle, describes the state of the data1 system.
494 This handle is passed as first argument to virtually all
495 data1 related routines. The functions data1_create and data1_destroy
496 creates and destroys a data1 handle respectively.
498 Added ODR encode stream member to all backend request structures
499 init, search, scan etc. This stream should be used to allocate all
500 memory used for the response when thread safe operation is needed.
502 Changed the comstack utility, cs_addstr, to be thread safe. The
503 returned hostname string returned by the function is now part the
506 Added comstack utility, cs_straddr, which replaces the tcpip_strtoaddr
507 function. The cs_straddr takes a COMSTACK handle as argument, so this
508 function must be used after cs_create and before bind/connect.
509 This function is thread safe.
511 Moved test server to 'ztest' directory - generic server code still
512 in 'server' directory.
514 Made prefix query (pquery.c) utility thread safe.
516 Added new function modifier YAZ_EXPORT to 'export' public DLL
517 functions when using windows (see include/yconfig.h).
519 Added definitions to the OID database (util/oid.c) (RVDM).
521 Added new BIB-1 diagnostic messages to the handler diagbib1_str.
523 Added call to ccl_rpn_delete in client program.
525 Added ODR argument to ccl_rpn_query and ccl_scan_query to provide
526 release of RPN structure.
528 Added support for C++, headers uses extern "C" for public definitions.
529 With input from RVDM.
531 In handling of SEQUENCE OF: Counter set to zero when SEQUENCE OF is absent.
532 Thanks to Ronald van der Meer (RVDM).
534 Added initializers (zget_ routines) for a number of PDUs. Thanks to RVDM.
536 Added support for private extensions to the OID database
537 (oid_setprivateoids()). Thanks to RVDM.
539 Added optional, physical ANY (key replication)
541 Fixed null-reference problem in GRS-1 output filter.
543 Proximity operator added to Prefix Query Format (PQF).
545 In test client command "base" accepts multiple databases.
547 Fixed bug in cs_close stack that caused trouble with WINSOCK.
551 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
553 Smallish bug-fixes in the new encoders/decoders (explain).
555 Bug fixed in DeleteRequest.
557 Fixed tagging bug of type 101 query in SearchRequest-Query PDU encoder/decoder.
559 Fixed tagging bug in ResourceReportResponse PDU encoder/decode.
561 Added SOIF syntax (using private OID for now) to retrieval module and client.
563 Added Update extended service.
565 Added SearchResult-1 additional info structure.
567 Added optional CCL (ISO8777) interpreter as separate module. Available
570 --- 1.2 1996/6/10 (1st anniversary release)
572 Added Summary record syntax. Lightly tested.
574 Added OPAC record syntax. Untested.
576 Added ResourceReport service encoders/decoders. Untested.
578 Fixed bug in z_Unit - wrong tagging on unitSystem.
580 Fixed bug in the DiagRecs decoder.
582 Added options for max PDU size and session timeout to frontend-server.
584 Added documentation of query-language parsers and other supporting utilities.
586 [frontend-server] Added Attribute set to the bend_scanrequest API.
588 [frontend-server] NextResultSetPosition was sometimes set incorrectly when
589 surrogate diagnostics were generated.
591 [retrieval] Allow multiple local values for attribute.
593 [retrieval] Allow multiple attributes per element in .abs files. index type.
595 [retrieval] Added Summary tagset, abstract syntax, and d1-node/ASN filter.
599 Minor changes, mostly specific to Zebra's requirements (retrieval)
603 Repaired bug in frontend server when running multiple listening
604 endpoints in dynamic mode.
606 z_External() now won't break if a known, ASN.1 value comes encapsulated
607 in an octet-string. The value will pass through unmodified in an Odr_oct.
609 Added a bit of code to the demo client to decode & display
610 ASN.1-structured records represented in the octet-aligned branch of
611 the EXTERNAL CHOICE. Thanks to CAS for prodding us to finally do this.
613 Added z_ext_getentbyref() to the ASN module. Doc updated.
615 * Completed the SCAN definition in the ASN module. This may break SCAN
616 code based on older YAZ-versions at compile-time. The fix is easy -
619 * Added 'displayTerm' and OtherInformation to the TermInfo structure
620 under the SCAN definition. Remember to initialize this, server-people.
622 Comstack should now support the WAIS protocol in TCP/IP mode. Note
623 that this does not extend to ODR and ASN.
625 Comstack allows insertion of established socket (primarily for
626 inetd-operation of servers). Doc updated.
628 Front-end server can now start from the inetd in TCP mode. Doc
635 Fixed small problem in SUTRS-filter. A newline was sometimes inserted before
636 the rank and record number.
638 Adjustments to the frontend server.
640 Fixed diagnostic BER dumper. It ignored the file argument.
644 Various changes to retrieval module.
646 Changed the union discriminators of the protocol files from enums to
647 ints paired with #defines.
649 *Changed oident.class to oident.oclass to avoid a reserved word in C++
652 *Changed operator in the RPN structure to 'roperator', again to avoid a
655 Fixed problems in Explain decoders/encoders.
659 Memory bug in log module fixed.
663 Occasional malloc() of 0 bytes fixed in d1_espec.c.
665 Bug in Explain DatabaseInfo module fixed.
667 Some '\r' snuck into one or two of the ret'l config tables. A curse on Windows.
671 The shift to v1.0 signals that we now consider the *core* functionality
672 of YAZ reasonably stable (the core being more or less equivalent to
673 Z39.50-1992). Some of the really nifty v3 stuff is still not heavily
674 tested (Explain not at all - though that will happen soonish).
676 Minor changes to code to support Windows port.
678 Various minor changes after we're getting to use GRS-1 & co. more.
680 Added Espec-1 format.
682 Added VisibleString field body type to GRS-1. It is illegal acc. to my copy
683 of the protocol and it cannot be selected when encoding (maps into 'string'
684 when decoding). Needed to talk to some servers.
686 Demo client can request simple element set names.
688 Added Diagnostic Format encoders/decoders.
690 Added simple Close handling to frontend server (no hooks for resource
691 reporting yet), and demonstration client.
693 Added cs_addrstr() command to COMSTACK to retrieve peer hostname/address.
697 Fixed bug in the frontend-server. The numberOfRecordsReturned field was
698 handled incorrectly when records were requested in the searchResponse. This
699 will only affect you if you use the frontend-server.
701 Added GRS-1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Lightly tested.
702 Test-client will ask for and print GRS1. Ztest will return dummy records
705 Added Explain encoders/decoders to the service-level API. Untested.
707 Added Extended Services: Item Order encoders and decoders to the Service-
708 level API. Untested. We could use a recent copy of the pertinent bits
709 of the ILL protocol to add those bits.
711 Added diagnostic format 1 encoders/decoders to the service-level API.
714 Moved pretty-printing of structure-wrappers ({..}) from odr_seq.c to
715 odr_cons.c, which causes a more correct output.
717 Fixed handling of searchRequest in frontend server. NextResultSetPosition
718 was always set to 0 when no records were requested in the searchRequest.
720 * Added better external-handling. This shouldn't harm old code that
721 *encodes* externals. It can break code that looks for a
722 'single-ASN1-type' representation, since those types that are known
723 are now decoded immediately. Look at the SUTRS sample code in
724 seshigh.c and client.c. Documentation updated.
726 Handling of structured records in bend_fetchresponse. Length -1 marks
727 structured record, type is deduced from format field.
730 Fairly quick maintenance release to add SUTRS support.
732 Fixed handling of SUTRS records in the demonstration client.
734 * Added format field to the bend_fetchrequest and bend_fetchresponce
735 structures of the backend API (frontend server). When the record is
736 returned, the value of the format field is mapped to an OID. The
737 value VAL_SUTRS will also cause a slightly different ASN.1 packaging
738 of the record. The special value VAL_NONE in the bend_request means
739 that no specific format was requested by the client. Documentation
740 updated accordingly. Test server (ztest) will return a fixed dummy
741 SUTRS record if your client requests SUTRS.
743 Documentation updated accordingly.
745 You can now set external libraries and RANLIB support in the top-level
749 First public release.
