Changes for version 0.39 - 2003-12-19

  • Recognise record-syntax names such as "USMARC" as well as enumerators such as Net::Z3950::RecordSyntax::USMARC, in accordance with what's specified in v1.4 of the ZOOM AAPI. Such names are recgonised case- and hyphen-insensitively, so "GRS-1" and "grs1" are equivalent.
  • Add "XML" as an alias for the "TEXT_XML" record-syntax.
  • Handle the ZOOM AAPI's standard options "pass" and "group" in preference to the old options "password" and "groupid" (although these are still also recognised, for the benefit of old applications.)
  • Handle the ZOOM AAPI's standard option "async" in preference to the old "type" with _value_ "async" (although that's still also recognised, for the benefit of old applications.)
  • Makefile.PL includes support for and instructions about building against a YAZ in a non-standard place ("non-root install").
  • Another slight refinement to samples/simple.pl's diagnostics.
  • Documentation for diagnostic methods now includes a link to the BIB-1 diagnostics web-page.
