The socket pipe has same purpose as +Unix pipe . Unfortunately Windows pipes do not work on select/poll - +but YAZ' implementation do. + +Fixes for yaz_cond-functions on Windows 7. + +DLL export more symbols. + +zoomsh: show record do NOT render opac. + +Remove *.la files from Debian and RPM packages. + +--- 4.0.8 2010/05/11 + +Debian package libyaz-dev depends on libgnutls-dev again (was +removed in YAZ 4.0.6, but due to Libtool it is still needed +even though yaz-config do not list libgnutls libs). + +ZOOM: Use only one WRBUF for returning string results for +ZOOM_resultset. Reduces memory usage for ZOOM in general. + +ZOOM: ZOOM_connection do not use a shared pointer to +ZOOM_resultset after ZOOM_resultset is destructed by +user. Reverts to YAZ 4.0.4 behavior. + +--- 4.0.7 2010/05/04 + +record-conv: fix problem with at least one XSL conversion - +due to probably incorrect usage of XML XSL documents. + +--- 4.0.6 2010/04/29 + +Fix yaz-config for static mode and the use of SSL (gnutls). + +--- 4.0.5 2010/04/29 + +Forward decl timeval struct in mutex.h and gettimeofday.h. + +yaz-config: fix 'static' mode linking. + +--- 4.0.4 2010/04/28 + +Add functions yaz_cond_{create,destroy,wait,signal,broadcast}. These +are wrappers for pthreads or Windows. For Windows these are put in +a separate DLL: yaz_cond4. + +libyaz.la (whole source) is compiled with thread. If thread support +is enabled enabled, all source of YAZ is compiled with treading support. +This allows core utilities such as yaz_log to use thread facilities. +Previously (YAZ 3 and YAZ 4 releases), only libyaz_server.la was using +thread utilities. This commit moves mutex utilities (mutex.c) from +libyaz_server.la to libyaz.la. + +yaz-json-parse displays leading text until error. + +--- 4.0.3 2010/04/09 + +Handle HTTP redirect for SRU GET in yaz-client and ZOOM C. Based on +patch from Giannis Kosmas. + +SRU: no longer URL encode SRU database. The URL for an SRU server is +a URL and such is alreeady encoded - at least when given with leading +http:// or https://. This reverts behavior to YAZ 3.0.50. + +Support for new MARC XML notation TurboMARC which like MARCXML is a +complete representation of MARC/ISO2709.. This one, however, is more +compact and allows for faster processing with XSLT. TurboMARC can be +used in the marcdisp.h API, from the yaz-marcdump utility and from +the API of ZOOM C. + +yaz-ztest can be configured - via the database - to perform certain +delays when it performs operations search, present and single record +fetch. This allows testers to make yaz-ztest act as a real or even slow +Z39.50 server. Refer to the yaz-ztest man pages for details. + +--- 4.0.2 2010/03/09 + +wrbuf_destroy allows NULL WRBUF passed to it. + +Fix CCL qualifier aliases (did not work since YAZ 2.1.56). + +Add ZOOM_connection_close. + +No fixed size buffers for ZOOM shell - bug #3257. + +tstodr: make it work on s390 platform. + +New icu iterator-functions. The new icu_iter-functions makes it possible +to use ICU chains from many threads. + +yaz-client: better syntax check for show command. + +--- 4.0.1 2010/01/26 + +New glob file pattern utility. Like POSIX glob. For Windows too. Refer to +yaz/file_glob.h. + +New simple local-file XML include facility which allows file glob-patterns. +Refer to yaz/xml_include.h. + +Utility yaz-json-parse which parses JSON and demonstrates the JSON parser +API. + +ZOOM_record_get supports new parameter "format" which makes it format XML +record content. + +Fix JSON parser WRT start symbol. The start grammar symbol (referred to as +JSONText in ECMA-262) is JSONValue, not JSONObject. + +--- 4.0.0 2010/01/20 + +Windows binaries for YAZ now compiled with Visual Studio 2008 (VC9). +Older versions of YAZ was compiled with Visual Studio 6.0 (1998). + +Update so/DLL to version 4. Windows version builds YAZ4.DLL. +POSIX/Unix builds .so with major version 4. + +Remove old LOG_-defines from log.h. They have been obsolete and +undefined by default for the last 5 years. + +Odr_int is now of type 'long long'. Used to be 'int' in YAZ 3 series. + +GFS: Remove socket (int *fd) from search_rr handler. The socket +descriptor ptr is a facility that allowed a search handler to supply +a socket which would serve as a callback - when search was complete. +This facility has now been in use for years. + +COMSTACK API changes: cs_stackerr, cs_addrstr. COMSTACK method cs_stackerr +removed. It is not implemented by tcpip or unix COMSTACK, perhaps for ISO +SR which was removed 7 years ago. COMSTACK macro / method cs_addrstr now +returns 'const char *' rather than 'char *. The returned string is +read-only and should not be modified by applications. COMSTACK cs_close is +now a void function - it no longer returns int. No applications check for +the value and the implementations has always returned 0. + +ZOOM: use size_t for scan hit counts and str size. Functions +ZOOM_scanset_term and ZOOM_scanset_display_term have changed, so that +occ (hit count) and len (string length) are now of type size_t pointer +rather than int pointer. This is to be able to represent large hit counts +and to also just to use the proper type for string length (strlen result). + +New JSON parser. Refer to include/yaz/json.h . + +WRBUF API changes.. For size parameters for WRBUF size_t is now used .. +Used to be int in some cases. Many wrbuf_-functions used to return an int +indicating some length.. These return values were never used. And so they +are now void. + +ODR: odr_malloc, odr_total now takes size_t for size. + +clone_z_type: fix leak; occurred for encoding failures. + +--- 3.0.52 2009/12/03 + +tcpip comstack: fix use of uinitialized variable in cs_straddr. This +bug was introduced in 3.0.51. + +--- 3.0.51 2009/12/02 + +tcpip comstack: Remove TCP receiver buffer optimizations for Solaris. + +tcpip comstack: fix leak for getaddrinfo. + +Encoding of SRU database is performed by yaz_encode_sru_dbpath_odr or +yaz_encode_sru_dbpath_buf. Now used by yaz-client and the ZOOM API. +Decoding of SRU "path" database is performed by private function +yaz_decode_sru_dbpath_odr . This in turn is used by yaz_srw_decode +and yaz_sru_decode in server applications, GFS, yazproxy, metaproxy. + +yaz-client: honor base command for SRU. Change when database setting +is applied for SRU and ensure it is kept when a connection is reset. +Change also the way errors are displayed or SRU (decoding of packages). + +--- 3.0.50 2009/11/02 + +Add support for extra request / response data for SRU codecs and GFS. +The Z_SRW_PDU structure has two new members extraResponseData_{buf,len} +for extra data response buffer and length. For the GFS, both request +and response data (XML) is carried in extra_args and extra_response_data +for the search handler. Patch by Ko van der Sloot. + +ZOOM: For queries that cannot be converted to the specified rpnCharset, +ZOOM now returns a diagnostic on the client-side ('invalid query' / +10010). This fixes bug #2113. + +yaz-client fix: If cmdfile is passed to yaz-client (option -f) and that +cmdfile included a 'quit' command that would result in a memory violation. + +--- 3.0.49 2009/10/01 + +Make a number of functions defined in xmlquery.c static. These have +never been declared in a public header file (yaz/xmlquery.h) and was +made public by mistake. + +Improve speed of character conversions (iconv utilities). This makes +conversions from MARC-8 faster. + +ZOOM_record_get returns 0 pointer if a MARC record can not be decoded - +unless type desired is "raw". This will prevent type "xml" from +returning ISO2709 .. Which obviously can not be XML parsed. + +Fix memory leak in ZOOM that would occur if option apdulog was used +on a re-used connection. + +Frontend server logs HTTP requests. + +Frontend server now sends Z39.50 close when it times out (sesssion has +been idle for too long). Versions 2.0.30 and earlier also sent close. +But due to a mistake this was disabled in all versions after that, i.e. +the server would just close the socket immediately. + +yaz-client emits a better message when receiving an unrecognised +userInformationField. + +Skip zero-length subfields when decoding ISO2709. This rare case happens +if a record has two FS characters in a sequence. Without this patch +there would be a reference beyond char array in using_code_len fragments +in marcdisp.c. + +Fix yaz-marcdump error that would occur if option -n was used (bug #3028). + +--- 3.0.48 2009/08/28 + +The show command offered by the zoomsh command now takes a 3d optional +parameter type which is what is passed to ZOOM_record. If the type +argument is omitted, "render" is used. + +RPN to CQL conv may use USE string attributes (bug #2978). + +MarcXchange NS is now info:lc/xmlns/marcxchange-v1 . + +--- 3.0.47 2009/07/08 + +Function yaz_xml2query allows a diagnostic element in the PQF XML +representation .. diagnostic@code and diagnostic@addinfo is diagnostic +code and additional info respectively. + +The BER BOOLEAN is now the integral type Odr_bool which still happens +to be an 'int'. The BER INTEGER which used to be a plain 'int' is now +typedef'd to Odr_int. This is still an integral 'int', but it may be +changed to 64-bit via a one-liner in nmem.h (NMEM_64=1). The documentation, +ASN-1 compiler as well as programs has been updated to use the new types. + +--- 3.0.46 2009/06/08 + +zoom: ZOOM_record_get now renders OPAC records when type=xml. Previously +only the bibliographic record was rendered. For type=opac, an OPAC +record is only returned if it is present. + +iconv: small fix for encoding of advancegreek. + +yaz-client: avoid double display of SRU/SRW records (bug #2798). + +yaz-client: option auto_reconnect=on really reconnects. + +yaz-client: fix bug #2770 - avoid length limit for auth parameters. + +server: avoid null ptr ref for for yaz_poll errors. + +build: fix RPM build for RHEL 5.3. + +comstack: prefer IPV6 addresses over IPV4 - should refix bug #2350 + +--- 3.0.45 2009/03/31 + +Fixed bug #2709: TCP connect returns Invalid argument. + +Fixed compilation for mingw. + +Honor charset for raw records (ZOOM_record_get). + +Fixed use of errno for threaded mode that was seen on Solaris 10. + +Fixed argument passing with blanks in value for Windows Service. + +Disable YAZ' own log rotate by default (no 1 GB limit). +The variable l_max_size which specifies the log file limit is set to 0 +(DISABLED): This is due to the fact that YAZ is most often deployed using +logrotate. Also YAZ can not perform log rotate because of unsufficient +permissions (setuid). + +--- 3.0.44 2009/02/17 + +List supported encodings in man page for yaz-iconv. + +Fixed missing SSL libs for --libs output + +Re-established OID record syntax application-xml. Nobody should use it +but we don't want to change soname because of this symbol being absent. + +--- 3.0.42 2009/02/02 + +YAZ' RPM spec works for both SUSE Linux Enterprise and RedHat Fedora. + +Added member named_result_sets for init handler struct for the GFS. This +allows a server to disable named result sets. + +Removed OID record syntax application-xml. + +Added support for rule-based transliterator for ICU wrapper of YAZ. + +Fixed bug #1902: yaz-icu XML output. + +Make YAZ checks Emacs friendly. + +BITSTRING value shows value. Bug #2346. + +ISO2709 decoding: skip control characters from indicator data. + +Omit sort key by default in yaz-icu's output. + +Allow combined single char options (again) for YAZ' options function. + +Utility yaz-marcdump got option to display YAZ version (-V). + +Allow YAZ to use ICU 3.4. + +Added new ICU test case which illustrates removal of diacritics. + +--- 3.0.41 2008/12/29 + +Fixed Fixed test that makes VERSION_SHA1 appear on dist versions too. + +--- 3.0.40 2008/12/29 + +For configure, using option --without-xml2 also disables Libxslt/Libexslt +support. + +Fixed bug #2352: yaz-marcdump crashes for certain record. + +Added man page 'bib1-attr' which includes list of common Bib-1 attributes. + +Added support for Danmarc2 to UTF-8 conversion. + +Added support for ISO5426 to UTF-8 conversion. + +zget_InitRequest/zget_InitResponse returns GIT SHA1 hash as part of +implementation version. + +Function yaz_version returns GIT SHA1 hash for parameter sha1_str. + +--- 3.0.38 2008/11/10 + +ZOOM C now only fires one ZOOM_EVENT_SEARCH per search-task.
