Revision history for Perl extension MARC-XML

0.93 Fri Feb 11 17:13:02 EST 2011

• When slurping MARCXML records (e.g., via MARC::Batch), can now handle XML files that use a prefix to refer to the http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim namespace.
• If trying to parse a MARCXML record that has omitted the <record> wrapper element, throw an exception with a more meaningful error message.
• adjusted copyright statement further to meet Debian requirements (RT#48333)
• set license in Makefile.PL

0.92 Thu Jul 30 22:37:07 EDT 2009

• small documentation changes to close RT tickets #48334 and #48333 filed by Jonathan from Debian world.
• added license string to META.yml so that CPAN can pick it up

0.91 Tue Jul 28 2009

• Nixing the stray space (always been there) in the schemaLocation attribute for single-record output
• Properly apply the leader modification for USMARC to signal UTF-8 encoding.
• Escape '<', '>', and '&' used as indicator values and subfield labels during XML output (Bill Erickson)
• CPAN RT#34082: clarify names of header output switches

0.90 Fri Dec 14 2007

• modifications to MARC::File::SAX to use LocalName rather than Name Name can contain a namespace prefix and cause parsing to fail Should be ok to rely on LocalName since the parser factory is requiring Namespace support?
• MARC::File::SAX also can build up multiple records now, for use in other SAX contexts like Net::OAI::Harvester. This required a few changes in MARC::File::XML as well.
