Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
1.02 Wed Jul 7 16:43:36 BST 2010
- Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
- Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
hashval mod n == i
- Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
test one seventh of the targets each night.
- Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
- Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
Test result is saved in the new element
<irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
- Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
- The web UI displays this new information in full-record
view.
- A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can
be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for
omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
- Improve input validation for new targets.
- New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
maintenance.
- Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
- Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
reliable.
- Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
response was in lowercase "usmarc".
- Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
- Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
package in the Macports collection.
- irspyidentifier2target() recognises and allows for
comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
identifiers.
- Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
record-syntax support using the wrong
preferredRecordSyntax.
- Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
failure. Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
- irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
- Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
- robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.
1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
- Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
way to know that the person editing a record is the same
person who first added it.
- When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
- Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.
1.00 Mon Jul 9 10:42:06 BST 2007
- First public release.
- Many, many changes since 0.02.
0.02 Wed Jun 27 12:09:49 BST 2007
- Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
- Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
list of targets beginning with "R".
- Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
space-separated string.
- Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
target IDs even if they contain spaces.
- Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters.
- Proper HTML-quoting of all output.
- Capture YAZ logging output for web display.
- Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration.
- Much better "Add a target" form, including:
- Name
- URL to hosting organisation
- Email to technical contact
- Username/password if needed
- Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate,
Special, National, Education or Other)
- Country.
- "Add another database to this target" button.
- Form for editing details of an existing target.
- Require authentication for database-changing operations
such as target testing, adding a new target and
editing and existing one.
- Add statistics page like that one at
http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
- Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
- Many, many more enhancements.
