YAZ 2.1.42 is available. Quite a few changes this time.
Rocco Carbone's
Ziffy is now part of YAZ (Z39.50 sniffer). Changes since YAZ
2.1.40:
Fixed bug #775: char conversion does not handle Alternative
UTF-8
sequences.
Implemented function yaz_marc_read_line which parses MARC
line format
records. There is a wealth of formats out there. So far,
this function
reads line records produced by yaz_marc_write_line.
yaz-marcdump's options -x, -X, -I, -e have been replaced
with the
more generic and easier to remember(!) options: -i format
and -o format
which specifies input format and output format respectively
- where
format is one of "marc", "marcxml",
"line", "marcxchange".
Added 'check only' option for MARC utilities. Option -n for
yaz-marcdump
does not print anything except warnings for records.
For yaz-marcdump, added support for MARC split into files
(-s) with a
given chunk size (-C).
Changed the SRU update structures and codecs to reflect the
SRU pre 1.0
spec, at http:
//www.loc.gov/standards/sru/record-update/
This has changed the binary layout of the following structs:
Z_SRW_extra_record, Z_SRW_updateRequest,
Z_SRW_updateResponse and
bend_update_rr . Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
Added GFS utility function bend_assoc_is_alive which returns
1 if
association is still alive (client is connected); 0
otherwise (client
closed connection). This allows busy servers to stop working
for
impatient clients.
Added ziffy: the promiscuous Z39.50 APDU sniffer. until now,
ziffy has
been a separate piece of software. This version of ziffy has
been
modified to fit with YAZ. ziffy is copyright Rocco Carbone
and covered
by GPL v2.
Fixed bug #740: Handle SRU records referring to xmlns's
outside recordData.
Fixed bug #722: Allow Z39.50 Init Options to be specified /
retrieved.
Client code may now interrogate options such as
"init_opt_sort" to
find out whether the server claims to support various
options.
